 * Weak Oppose Excessive blown highlights. Is there a better time of day to take this photo? ❄  upstate NYer  ❄ 17:43, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It probably is a better time, but the the thing is I am not sure, if I will ever find that place again :). We were driving very narrow, very windy roads, that were changing to even more narrow and windier roads. As a matter of fact I am still surprised that eventually we were able to find our way back :) --Mbz1 (talk) 18:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You could use google to give you directions (since the image is geocoded) :P Noodle snacks (talk) 10:46, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Google directions, turn right here, turn left there... It is so boring. I like to drive to the places like "I am not sure how I get here, and I am surprised I was able to get out" :)--Mbz1 (talk) 13:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The picture has extremely good resolution, but there is to much contrast between light and shadow. The cropped version cuts off too much of the scene. Generally speaking, I guess that if you pointed that camera at almost any scene in the appropriate light you are likely to get an FP. Snowman (talk) 14:13, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Support The image (original not the edit) has been re-uploaded by me having done a little work on it.  Based on clipping there was no real exposure issue but I've toned it a little to reduce the glare without degrading the image (I hope!).  I prefer "reality" as far as possible so the work is minimal - I could do a little more I guess. -- Herby  talk thyme 17:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
