Suggested crop. -- Colin (talk) 18:08, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Info All by me. It's Lake Clearwater in Canterbury, New Zealand. We already have this FP of the lake but I think this panorama is distinctive enough. -- Podzemnik (talk) 08:06, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - I want to get a canoe or kayak and paddle across that lake now, except that it looks cold. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:25, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Support -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:33, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral Not the most successful composition in my view. Uninteresting bush in the center, aligned with the mountain. Cut lake. Lacks dynamism. However, I'm more on the support side, because the scenery is great -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Aristeas (talk) 14:09, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral Feel similar to Basil. The right two thirds isn't as strong as the left third, with the central bush and wedge of lake on the right. I'll suggest a crop which has imo much better composition and leading lines (which are interrupted by the bush in this one). -- Colin (talk) 18:08, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
• @Colin Thanks for the review, you'll be right. I've provided an alternative. --Podzemnik (talk) 08:18, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment The left is leaning down, it needs a perspective correction Poco a poco (talk) 17:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Poco a poco I gave it a play, I think it's fixed now. --Podzemnik (talk) 08:49, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
    • It looks indeed better, but you stopped kind of halway --Poco a poco (talk) 10:09, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Support − Meiræ 22:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Weak support I have no problems with the composition, really, but what looks like polarization has left the lake and bush looking slightly unnaturally darkened. Daniel Case (talk) 02:26, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Alternative, another version

•  Oppose - Doesn't work for me. I love the great lateral/diagonal expanse in the other version. My eye doesn't move nearly as well around this picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:02, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I like that it neatly brackets the distant mountain range, and that the path, the coast, and the wind-streaks on the water form leading lines. -- Colin (talk) 10:25, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Support A very good, painterly composition. I'm not sure I like the panorama as much as the crop on the right seems somewhat arbitrary and aimless. Cmao20 (talk) 18:42, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose With the cut bush, a part seems missing at the right. Just a nice image, but not really spectacular in my view, and in any case inferior to the one above. Actually I quite like the first version (will move to weak support if necessary), especially the highest mountains. The problem is the bush. I think you could have arranged the composition within the frame better, for example by putting this bush more to the right, and your camera higher with you climbing to the left, to get a better balance and a more satisfying harmony of the several elements composing the image -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
