•  Info created by Moroder - uploaded by Moroder - nominated by Moroder -- Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 15:34, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Imo the sun (even if overexposed) makes a dramatic counterpoit to the nude body of Christ in the ice -- Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 15:34, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Support --Christian Ferrer 16:58, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Also OK. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Support prefer this one; the sun is already big enough --P e z i (talk) 21:01, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I prefer this one.--Alurín (talk) 14:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Neutral With such a bright sun, I would have expected the snow to be much more white, not blueish-gray. Especially in the foreground and along the ridge top. Lupo 16:28, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

• Snow is never white, specially in a backlit photo. Thanks for the note --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 18:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I didn't say it should be white, but whiter. I think the foreground was underexposed because of the bright sun. Lupo 19:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
    • It is not underexposed, as you can see it still fits in the histogram, but it is a lot darker compared to the sun - I don't like HDR btw or at least I'm not comfortable with it ;-) --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:17, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Alternative (crop and WB)

•  Support --Christian Ferrer 16:58, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Prefer this tighter crop and hence more simplistic composition. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Strange artifacts to the left of the cross (halo & shade, both even visible in the thumbnail), halos to the left and at the top of the foreground fence poles. These artifacts do not exist in the original nomination. Lupo 21:29, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Done New version, thanks, you're right, oversharpening is certainly (one of) my biggest default. --Christian Ferrer 08:55, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Well, to my eyes, nothing much has changed. The fence poles still have the halos left & right, and the cross a slightly less noticeable halo on the left. However, I've given this image some more thoughts, and I must say I'd even oppose this crop being featured if these halos were completely fixed. First, I do think there's something wrong with the snow; see my comment on the original nomination. But more importantly, I feel that by cutting off the cliff at the bottom right you lose the vertical dimension. It's nearly as if the cross stood on some unremarkable hill. Lupo 16:28, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Too bad the snow is trampled. A nice fluffy snow cover would make it perfect. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

why, lots of people go up to the crucifix, that's why there is a fence --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 22:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Michael Barera (talk) 21:37, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Crop --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 22:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
