    It does look kind of similar to one of his works. For example: this --AmaryllisGardener talk 23:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your suggestion of crop Colin but the foreground contributes to highlight the trail enlightened by the sun, and to the dramatic aspect of the scene which is the key point of this image, it's a bit like a painting, this is why I nominated it... and nobody want and have to crop a painting, for exemple this image is well cropped and centered... but it lack a little something. --Christian Ferrer 11:12, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Great light and texture in the scenary. --Slaunger (talk) 19:24, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support imho no need for the foreground crop. --Ivar (talk) 05:40, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think the shadowed foreground is an unwelcome distraction in an image that easily repeatable under better lighting. The motif has some windswept drama worth featuring, but not when the lighting is less than perfect. Saffron Blaze (talk) 14:26, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I can understand you point because it's my delibarate choice (position, zoom) to integrate the foreground. However a different lighting will product another image with a different mood and a different texture aspect of the trees, the image will lose a part of it's dramatic aspect. Maybe a solution could another photo taken with the same light closer from the trees or/and with a less wider angle (here 16mm). Me I like this one because the beauty of the nature is contrast, contrast between lights and shadows, contrast between colors and shadows, contrast bteween life and death. It is all the imperfections of the nature that make it sublime. The nature is shadowded, this photo too. My choice was here to show that. But I easily understand that some consider it as an error of taste. -- Christian Ferrer Talk 04:59, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  OpposeI do not like the cut, I do not like the light .. also the one who sees the picture will be distracted by the most fascinating part of the picture, because this is distracting. It is emotional for me.--Pava (talk) 01:04, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
