•  Info created by Lucag - uploaded by Lucag - nominated by Simonizer 11:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Wonderful. Great colours and composition. I guess, the best sunset picture at commons at the moment --Simonizer 11:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Support--Rakshat 13:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Support looks like a graphic, but WOW! --Packa 18:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry to have doubts about this photography since LucaG seems to provide Commons only with very nice pics, but the guy and his reflection on the water look too much the same to my taste. I've played a bit with my gimp and the shapes are VERY close (though not exactly the same) as if they were mirrored and pasted to the picture. The part of water reflecting the light of the sky, just under the left feet seems to confirm my suspicions. Could anyone confirm or give me an explanation ? Benh 19:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I've changed my mind, since Lucag told me it's real and I don't want my vote to be a penalty if other users like it. Benh 19:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - ditto to Benh's comments (particularly re the spot of light shining under his left foot), and think it would look nicer without the guy standing there - MPF 19:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose to my picture but not for an edit I didn't do. The girl standing on the Salar is my 10 years old daughter. Please tell me how to provide the original Canon RAW file and I'll do it. Giulia, my daughter was really there watching the sun. I love particularly this image. --LucaG 19:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I provided the original RAW file to Benh and to MPF. It can seem an incredible picture but Bolivia is really an incredible country. Sorry for the intrusion in this poll. --LucaG 20:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

• Yap I saw it. That reflection under the left foot seems much more natural at real size and may be explained by the direction of the light source eventually to be somewhere on the left side (sky is big ;)). That makes this picture even more outstanding to me. Very sorry for the trouble... Benh 21:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
• Thanks! My apologies for my doubts - MPF 21:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. Now that you know her, I added some more pictures of Giulia in that incredible place: my Bolivia gallery. --LucaG 22:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Support - it looks like a typical render, but it's a photo. And that's cool! :D I had to look at EXIF to believe it's not rendered. - Erina 08:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I think that image, which could be made in not too long time in vector image software, shouldn't be a FP. --Leafnode 05:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Are you serious? This is a photo of a real place and not a computer generated image. --Simonizer 11:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I can read, I know it's a photo. It only doesn't look like one. And I don't like it. --Leafnode 19:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- I don't really like it. It looks like a kitschy 70's blacklight poster to me. However, I have a couple of observations: The caption in Italian:in questo silenzio sono i colori ad urlare - Salar de Uyuni - Bolivia - 3700 m di quota. Forgive me, I don't know Italian. The title of this work appears to be Salar de Uyuni or Leaving Uyuni? Uyuni is a salt flat in Bolivia. My last recollection of salt is that it's white. It had to have taken a lot of post-processing to bring out the subtle colors on the salt flat and to get the shadows that black. Kgrr 05:03, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral i do not really like the photo, but my personal taste does not make it a less excellent picture of a natural-surreal scenery. I think it could be improved by a bit of postprocessing (the blacks do not appear balanced properly - they appear a bit fuzzy). --- volty 12:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC) Please sign with ~~~~ thanks.

•  Support I agree it has a bit of a 70's kitsch factor, but as a photographic accomplishment it's outstanding. ~ trialsanderrors 01:28, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - I like the landscape, but would prefer it without the person - MPF 23:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose --Lestat 20:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with MPF, I would prefer it without the person. --Digon3 01:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
