•  Oppose sorry but no wow (I cannot support this orange and blue artificial light for tourist), oversharpened and noisy. --Laitche (talk) 22:39, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Dэя-Бøяg 01:51, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Love it. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:03, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral The colours are ok for me, but Laitche is right that the image is oversharpened. Could you provide an alternative? --Tremonist (talk) 12:27, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Noisy. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 18:21, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support It would be better if it wasn't so oversharpened. I like the lighting of the cave, many caves don't have proper and or artistic lights. This is a long exposure, you can see it as nightly light painting. --Kadellar (talk) 19:24, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Noisy but wow (the artificial light does not remove the wow IMHO). 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 22:20, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Yann (talk) 06:49, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support I saw comments about noise, but when i see EXIF it is obviously tripod shot. On ISO 200 is hard to get noise. Just ice has some noise kind of looking, but no noise around, so probably even that on ice isnt noise but natural shape. --Mile (talk) 14:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment I have a question. This orange and blue colors are natural phenomena? And the white ice on the right side is also illuminated by artificial white light so this white is not trustworthy as well, I want to see the real colors... --Laitche (talk) 14:33, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Caves have temperatures above zero (some 4-8°C), so forming of ice there is phenomena. I havent saw it so far. --Mile (talk) 15:44, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Info Alternative version with much less noise/artefacts: File:По гротам пещеры 1 reprocessed.jpg current version overwritten (made of RAW data provided by the photographer via e-mail), not candidating yet, just wishing some feedback (maybe @Laitche: @Jacek Halicki: @Tremonist: @Kadellar: ), because of course some nice "HDR-ish" effects on the ice formations are gone now; should, however, the new version still be preferred, I would upload it above the old one in order to have it taking part on the international WLE round. Thanks --A.Savin 18:56, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

@A.Savin: Looks very nice! Probably I can support that, Thanks :) --Laitche (talk) 19:37, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

This new version is better, so OK to overload. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:44, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment Both are fine. Why is there a change in perspective? --Kadellar (talk) 12:01, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

There must be several intentional distortions in the photographer's version, whereas all I did was some perspective corrections on the verticals, so therefore the differences and also a slight change in crop. Still waiting for an answer by Vladimir Chuprikov if he likes my version and likes to have his one overwritten. --A.Savin 12:29, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
