 * I can see no particular reason why this would be denied, the quality is certainly there. The only critisism I have is that there doesn't seem to be any subject in particular to draw the viewers eye. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:19, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Quality is good. Compositionally I think its a shame that the horizon is centered and the trees are clipped at the top of the frame. As far as chosing which way the horiz should move, as a enc panorama of a park for WP I would say it should more land than sky. Also I think you could lose a little off the right, that would pull the road closer to the center, making it more of an eye leading feature. Mfield (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * At the far right in the midground, there are mountain ranges which can be seen which are not blocked by any trees. The mountains are the Uluguru Ranges which surround the park. Won't cropping the right part lead to loss of this view? Will a centered road be aesthetic? Could you please upload an edit? Thanks Muhammad (talk) 17:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I only meant to trim a small amount, I was not intending that you center the road, just that pulling it inwards towards even the first third would make it more compositionally appealing as it would more naturally draw your eye into the image. I am aware though that trimming the mountains will reduce the enc. so it is a difficult call. Right now I think it might fail FP for compositional reasons. It will be difficult for me to crop this to a better composition without reducing the size too much for an FP. Is it a stitch - i.e. do you have more resolution and/or more image outside this crop to work with? Especially foreground. Mfield (talk) 17:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have a higher res version but no more images outside of this crop. Muhammad (talk) 21:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The cropped edit is a lot better. I think the other pics would not pass because of the cut off trees. When you do nominate this, make sure to emphasize the uniqueness of the pic. Some people will probably object to lack of "Wow"ness, so be prepared with an answer to those points. Also. Good picture. :) Intothewoods29 (talk) 03:52, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
