  •  Comment I'm sorry but what is Pen-y-ghent? Could you please add a decent description? I find a good description very important when making the decision if I find a picture feature worthy. --Baykedevries (talk) 17:15, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment On a photograph of a mountain, I think it’s decent enough to give the mountain’s name along with the geocoding and point of view. What else do you expect? For further information just look up its name on Wikipedia. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 17:35, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I was about to say the same. A wikilink in the nom or information page is always handy but my browser has a search box. There's a geocode link too. I'd much rather nominators explained why they think the image is among our finest, which is something I can't find out for myself with a click. -- Colin (talk) 17:53, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Sure I can do a search, but I'm not going to. If you think a picture is feature worthy you can take the time to add a decent description. For me a good description is important and At some point I'm going to ignore pictures without. I'm making a point here. Don't take it personally :) But to many pictures are missing descriptions --Baykedevries (talk) 18:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Comment Since I haven’t understood your point yet, let me ask once again: What do you expect? Or maybe point out some of the active nominations that do have descriptions after your liking (most don’t have any at all, just "c/u/n by $NAME", without you complaining, AFAIS). I really don’t know what you mean. The picture shows the Pennine Way climbing a mountain named Pen-y-ghent from its southern side. That’s what my description says, so IMHO it’s a proper description of the photograph. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 22:22, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          •  Comment I agree with Baykedevries that often file descriptions (on the file page - it is those that matters) are inadequate as important information is often missing regarding the particular image, but this is not one of those cases. The file page is adequately categorized to e.g. Pen-y-ghent and Pennine Way and if you follow those links, there are interwiki links to articles in several different languages (after I have added them, that is, as they were initially missing). If the nominator were to copy that information to the file page (in how many languages?), it would just be maintenance of redundant information. It would contaminate, not add value. I do think though that it is generally a good idea if nominators check that main categories are adequately linked to wikipedia articles, such that the relevant information can be found fast and efficient. The interwiki links are often missing on Commons categories. --Slaunger (talk) 23:21, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose It is a pretty picture of good quality, but it does not stand out for me as extraordinary. Background is a little soft in focus. --Slaunger (talk) 07:20, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Pleasant composition and a reasonable QI (could be sharper). The 4:3 ratio isn't generally good for landscape IMO and it is too ordinary a result to be featurable. -- Colin (talk) 07:09, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose No wow and the crop ratio chosen is very appropriate for a landscape IMO. --Graphium 19:48, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Yes, the 4:3 ratio is quite an issue with the micro 4/3 cameras (obviously !). Shooting 3:2 is an option but you loose quite some resolution in the process of course... How sad for those otherwise nice cameras. - Benh (talk) 15:52, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
