  •  Support Very impressive and beautiful. Seems a bit dark, but that’s just realistic (see clouds). I would have preferred the focus a little more away from the camera (to get the middle and the background sharper), but it’s still very good. – I have taken the liberty to make the preview image a bit smaller – it was much larger than any other preview on the FPC page. --Aristeas (talk) 08:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Really nice colours, but could be brighter. Are the pylons top left leaning? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:13, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Thanks for nomination! I'm concidering rework, or atleast a recheck of original files if there is something I could do more accurate. The leaning pylons make me a little confused too, but then again I find that there are many buildings and structures leaning a bit every direction, and probably many of them weren't vertically aligned in the first place. Have to think, which of them may have actually been vertical to give a hint, and can it be done better with different panorama projection. One estimate is that the conifer trees grow most often very accurately vertical, and it's possible that some pylons may be purposely leaning certain direction instead..? I remember this autumn trip very well. The redness of the ground was so surreal it almost felt fake when walking there in real life. Just unbelievable. The peculiar color patterns gives a challenge how to do the white balance correctly too, because it's so different from usual. This autumn I was two weeks early, and the ground leaves were clearly less red and a bit duller, more brown. --Ximonic (talk) 17:57, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is the eastern face of Laukukero behind on the left. This is one of the quirks I didn't pay attention to much when visiting so I don't quite remember. But by googling Laukukero lifts I found some images where there are atleast some pylons which seem to have a diagonal shape or resemble the shape of 7 from front. I'm not exactly sure which of them are these or are these the exact ones. --Ximonic (talk) 19:19, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reworked now. The biggest difference may be with vignette correction being less strong, and overall trying to slightly increase the brightness of the foreground, resulting in brighter center of the image in comparison. There is not a big difference in perspective correction, being adjusted by looking at some trees on both edges and the building. Correcting by the pylons resulted everything else becoming skewed, so it wasn't an option after trying it, and wasn't done in this version. --Ximonic (talk) 13:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
