 * Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 11:21, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support It is of good quality and size for a panorama.--Hipposcrashed (talk) 20:11, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Support. Pretty good, a nice scene, no immediately apparent stitching errors. I find the heavy contrast between cloud shadows and sunlit areas is a little distracting unfortunately. Appears a little overprocessed perhaps also - highly saturated. Anyone else get that problem in the Loch Torridon article of this image overlapping the images of the ships? That probably needs to be addressed, especially as that is clearly the highest EV article. --jjron (talk) 14:10, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I moved the nominated picture to the lead spot in Loch Torridon to address your concerns about the overlapping. Dusty 777 18:03, 22 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Support while I don't find this image to be especially interesting, it does its job. Pine(talk) 03:54, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. Good landscape photo. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 00:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Looks good. EV is really only valuable in Loch Torridon, as Wester Ross doesn't really say anything about the loch. Dusty 777 18:03, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Regretful Oppose The surrounding Torridon Hills - seen here in the background - are of considerable geographical significance and reputation. Considered to be one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Scotland (see the article) they are more of a destination than the Loch itself. This photo does a reasonable technical job of framing a large area of both Loch and hills but the postcard-style sunshiney over-saturation just does not convey the characteristics nor atmosphere of this stunning and unique landscape.

 * Support Beautiful countryside (admit bias here) captured well and in great detail. The clouds moving over the sky, casting shadows on the hills, is very much a feature of the countryside. Wrt oversaturation, I've no idea what processing the creator has done but I've taken photos just as saturated without any processing: sometimes Scotland's sky, lochs and hills really do come alive with colour. More commonly, not. Sadly. Colin°Talk 18:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
