•  Support I find this shadow striking and the sunlight harmoniously spread around like a theater spot -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

• Green version of Adam's Peak 🌲🌲🌲 :-) Basile Morin (talk) 13:42, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

• The resemblance is actually pretty uncanny! Cmao20 (talk) 16:51, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

• Adam's Peak being in the water, it allows the sun's rays to reach it really very early. But similar idea :-) Basile Morin (talk) 22:34, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose quite nice and interesting idea, but the (light on the) background is a bit too distracting to make this photo very "special", in summary the half top is not very very nice. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 11:04, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with Christian here Poco a poco (talk) 14:13, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Christian Ferrer. --Fischer.H (talk) 07:52, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment In my opinion the light on the background is fine, but the shadow at the right on the mountains can be competitive. It comes from another peak behind. However, the shadow on the trees (left and right) accentuates the impression of light centered in the middle -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:38, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Alternative

• A crop that makes the shadow more central. Pinging the previous voters @Johann Jaritz, Cmao20, The Cosmonaut, Aristeas, and Daniel Case: @Llez, Christian Ferrer, Poco a poco, and Fischer.H: Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Fine by me. Cmao20 (talk) 15:11, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Much clearer focus. The clouds are lovely in isolation, but distract from the main message of this image. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Neutral a bit improved, but still not enough eye catching IMO. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:07, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Both versions are fine for me. --Aristeas (talk) 14:30, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment: I prefer the original version. The sky makes for a more pleasing composition. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment It doesn't convince me either, sorry Poco a poco (talk) 18:39, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
