Mt. Rainier




I took this picture in a visit to Mt. Rainier national park, I think this picture really shows the beauty of this mountain.


 * Nominate and support. - Kkmd 04:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Snow on peak totally overexposed. Did you bracket exposures, i.e. can you upload a darker version? --Janke | Talk 06:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose Agree with Janke - usually midday shots don't really turn out that well. --Fir0002 07:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Top half of frame is overexposed, you need a one stop Grad ND, or one more stop of Grad ND if you are already using such a filter. PPGMD 17:31, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per above, along with the picture being slightly out of focus and there being too much wind on the lake for a good reflection. -- Tewy  18:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Per above. Composition is rather boring, too. Mikeo 19:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. For a good "mountain reflecting in lake" FP, see Image:MtHood TrilliumLake.jpg.  howch e  ng   {chat} 21:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose This is getting more opposition than I would have expected. The composition is alright; I like how you incorporated the foreground flowers.  Aiming the camera a bit more to the left, so the mountain isn't dead center might have helped, and would have partially eliminated the bushy tree in the right foreground.  Color, contrast and saturation are all pleasing.  But as others have mentioned, the blown highlights hurt the image.  If the image was shot in RAW format, and you still have the original RAW file, it might be salvaged.  -- Moondigger 23:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Beautiful picture, but the subject (the mountain) is too small, and a little overexposure.  Viva  La   V  i  e   Boheme!  01:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - I disagree. The picture does a good job of showing both the lake and mountain. The picture is beautiful, not blurry, and sharp. Will look good on front page. I think that you are all underrating it as a bandwagon. --GoOdCoNtEnT 07:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose - Not a bad shot, and a lovely scene, but the composition is a bit ordinary, and the mountain just isn't clear enough for the subject of an FP, IMO. There's also some chromatic aberration which Photoshop might be able to take care of. --Yummifruitbat 12:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Picture looks like it has been taken with a low end digital camera. 6MP, but inadequate optics. Colorfringeing and lack of sharpness (seriously, there is no bandwagon, just blur). Rainier has a purple tint in the new version. I cannot scold you for the blown out snow, that stuff is just too darn bright (I'm having te same problem with this image, which makes me reluctant to nominate it). --Dschwen 01:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support (new edition) per GoOdCoNtEnT. The vivid contrasting colors are particularly what attracted me to this image. I even made this my new desktop wallpaper. --(mcshadypl) 04:04, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
