Uluguru Mountains Panorama

 * Reason:A high resolution, good quality image with a great amount of encyclopedic value, replacing this image in the article. This picture shows the complete ranges unlike any other picture on the internet and is much better in terms of quality. The picture also gives a clear view of the mountains, without the distractions caused by telephone and electricity cables.

 * Oppose Unappealing composition - it feels severely cut off at the bottom. For this reason, showing so little of the surroundings, enc is also low. --Janke | Talk 08:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried different locations to take pictures from, but there were always obstructions. I had to climb on top of a sheet of metal roofing to take the pictures. Even then, there were quite a few obstructions such as roofs of huts which needed cropping hence the lack of foreground. But IMO the EV is still high because the image is supposed to illustrate the mountain ranges, which it does. Muhammad (talk) 17:19, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I think exposure is inapropriate. Foreground elements have more contrast than very bright and pale background, depiste it being the main subject. Easy to say, but maybe you could try from a different place ?? Blieusong (talk) 18:07, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment When addressing the foreground/background contrast, please keep in mind that this is a natural effect of aerial perspective.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 21:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I have to agree with Janke on this. There is also slight noise in the sky, and the telephone pole (or wooden pole) near the bottom left is also distracting.  Spencer T♦C 20:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
