•  Comment Interesting composition. One question: Are the little dots throughout the picture all birds? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:04, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Not sure, honestly, but I think they might be. These don't look like artifacts to me. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 07:45, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough.  Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:55, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment: this is blatantly untrue, I didn't change saturation at all. Here is a a panorama frame as it came straight from the camera [1]. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 19:21, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

• Your camera has jpg settings that change white balance and probably colour balance/saturation etc. - when you say straight from the camera, was that RAW or neutral/faithful jpg (these are Canon words not Nikon)? Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:49, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

• The jpgs are set to "standard", which is a the factory default and something I never changed. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 00:50, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

• Yes, that explains it. The 'standard' setting adds saturation, particularly on blues, because that's what most consumers like. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:19, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

• If that's the case, this is certainly not bluer than File:Mount Sir Donald panorama.jpg, for example. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 23:46, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

• The sky may be oversaturated, but perhaps our eyes like it with snow for some reason. I am less tolerant of oversaturated greens. @Colin: knows about these things and may correct me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

• Then what of File:Golden Ears seen from the Viewpoint Beach.jpg or File:Kinney_Lake_and_Mount_Whitehorn.jpg or File:Evans_Peak_Panorama.jpg?.. Vibrant colours can absolutely happen naturally, if the light conditions allow. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 11:02, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Regretful very weak oppose A beautiful scene. And I'm OK with the colors. But while the processing is better than on the other ones, we still have unnatural-looking snow patches almost everywhere there are snow patches, plus the side of the mountain at left next to the clouds looks rather weird. Daniel Case (talk) 20:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but this is starting to get ridiculous. I've already provided the original panorama frame where snow looks exactly the same as in the final product. And why would anyone expect snow in the middle of summer to look the same as the stuff that has freshly fallen to begin with?.. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 23:27, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

I don't. But I do think snow in photographs, whatever time of year, should look like snow, and not globs of white paint dribbled into it.

I mean, you could have perhaps dialed down the exposure on the snow a bit. Look at this picture I took which also includes a distant summertime snow patch (well, a large aufeis, topped with crusted snow) in sunlight, in Canada (and above the Arctic Circle, yet!). It isn't perfect, I agree, but it looks like snow, not just some patch of white. Daniel Case (talk) 03:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
