•  Info created, uploaded and nominated by me. It's Makarora River in Otago, New Zealand. I quite like the mood and these two hikers on the right side. They provide a scale so a viewer can actually realise how wide the river is (at this point around 500-700m). The hikers are finishing Gillespie Pass Circuit, 3 days long hike in Mount Aspiring National Park. -- Podzemnik (talk) 22:08, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Neutral Somehow with the horizon pretty much on center height and the, to me, less interesting foreground, this is not doing it for me. BTW, I've placed notes about possible dust spots in the sky and on the river. – Lucas^T 07:38, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Lucasbosch: Thank you for your comment and your notes. I've removed the spot in the sky. I've also removed these black micro spots, I'm not sure what they were. --Podzemnik (talk) 07:50, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose I'm not seeing what is special about that panorama. I'm not even sure what the topic is. The lake river? Then why on the bottom right like this? The left cut mountain? The right strangely placed mountain? And I'm neither a fan of the horizon in the middle. - Benh (talk) 07:55, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

• edited to replace "lake" by "river" - Benh (talk) 07:57, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

• Benh, no need to put extra commentary on edits, especially if you use strikethrough <s></s>. Use the Edit summary if you want to comment on what you did. – Lucas^T 08:03, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Lucas: Yes I know. It might not look like but i started contributing before you ;) (unless u used another account... we have that over here). Just wanted to be clear (and not everyone take the time to look at history log)? - Benh (talk) 11:05, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Benh: Lucas was just trying to help, no need for all of the "i started contributing before you" bogus. No need to brag about when you started contributing here since it isn't necessary and nobody actually cares. And the funny thing is that Lucas actually started before you. You meant Lucasbosch, right? --BoothSift 02:11, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Boothsift: I think that's rather a rude comment. It seems to me that Benh was being perfectly polite (as was Lucas for that matter). Nothing about this looked bad-tempered or arrogant to me. (And it appears that Benh is indeed correct that he's been here a long time, I can find photos from Benh uploaded as long ago as 2007). Cmao20 (talk) 12:25, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Cmao20: Fine, then I will politely disagree with his comment. Are you happy now? --BoothSift 23:34, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - You chose to focus on the far bank and make the foreground somewhat unsharp, but the effect is not drastic and the composition and quality are very good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:27, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
