- Oppose Not bad and
probablyQI, but still I don't think it does the beauty of this region enough justice. --A.Savin 20:38, 23 November 2020 (UTC) 
Comment A very beautiful scene, but I would go for a more aggressive crop. For a road leading into the distance, the easiest way to make it work is to center the entire road, but if the near portion of the road is going to be off-center, then all of the road should be clearly off-center, i.e. some of the right side should be cropped out. Also, because the sky is relatively featureless I would make it take up about 1/4 of the vertical space as opposed to the usual rule of thirds. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:39, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Agree with the featureless sky. Too much currently in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:18, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Moderate support As a contributor here who has made a different roadscape work as an FP, I'm favorably disposed to this one. This is autumn, and the landscape is bleak because as the distant mountains are already telling us, winter is coming. Therefore the relatively empty sky complements that bleakness. I do agree with King, however, that not as much of it is needed. Daniel Case (talk) 22:15, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

- Support I like the long sight line down the road, and this photo also appeals to my sense of vicariously being there. Sure, the sky could be cropped, but I support, anyway. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:52, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
Weak support The more I look at it, the more the candidature seems valid as FP for me. Just weak s per my comment above -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:53, 28 November 2020 (UTC)- Oppose Unfavorable light-situation on the mountains. --Milseburg (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
