- Info Power lines and sunset in the Serra da Canastra National Park.
- Info created and uploaded by Heris Luiz Cordeiro Rocha - nominated by Thennicke -- Thennicke (talk) 06:35, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Support Nice example of silhouetting and a powerful mood (for me). I especially like the sun's colour gradient due to the cloud on the horizon. -- Thennicke (talk) 06:35, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Support --Kikos (talk) 07:19, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Support Cables are not disturbing in this case; cables work here. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 07:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

- Support Impressive. --Laitche (talk) 13:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Support Added English description. A well-done exception to the YAFS "rule" because it adds something else to the sunset.Oppose On second thought, Colin has a point. Daniel Case (talk) 17:46, 6 November 2015 (UTC)- Support LivioAndronico (talk) 18:43, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose The quality of the JPG is dreadful. Blocky artefacts and posterisation. The sharpening by Thennicke has only made this worse. Google images: "pylons sunset" and see this is neither original nor a great example wrt composition. The perspective effect leads the eye towards a murky area below the sun. -- Colin (talk) 23:03, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Reverted to original -- Thennicke (talk) 01:19, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:39, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Bad jpeg artifacts even at 50%. I'm entirely fine with this being promoted due to wow though. :) — Julian H.✈ 11:39, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Julian Herzog: Is it fixable? 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 11:46, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Not from this file, as far as I can tell. — Julian H.✈ 12:19, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment Now that I've turned my monitor's brightness up (duh) I can really see the jpg issues on the ground. I'll be sure to do that before nominating next time. Perhaps we could raise the black level to kill the artifacts in the dark areas? -- Thennicke (talk) 13:32, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- The best solution is always to try to contact |the author (though language difficulties can be an issue). This image used Lightroom so there's hope there is a RAW file that could be used to save a higher quality image. I'd expect a 12MP image to be at least a couple of MB in size so this looks suspiciously low. -- Colin (talk) 13:55, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Language difficulties are not an issue: he probably is Brazilian, and I am also. The issue is that he does not seem very active. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 15:01, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose The wow is there, but the quality is not up to it, sorry. --Ivar (talk) 17:35, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination despite a lot of support, for the quality issues mentioned -- Thennicke (talk) 05:01, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment a pity... --Laitche (talk) 05:08, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment to @Thennicke: Let's wait a bit and see what other people think. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 09:48, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- @ArionEstar: The author's got a lot of other excellent images under his uploads; FP should be only for the very best of them. I don't think that an image with such artifacts deserves FP. Thanks for showing such enthusiasm though. (I've also got another open nomination now so I can't reopen this one) -- Thennicke (talk) 10:28, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Thennicke: It is allowed up to 2 active nominations. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 11:13, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- ArionEstar, please, Thennicke has already stated he no longer believes this is among the finest, and is entitled to withdraw it. Let's not have an image promoted that really isn't our "finest". -- Colin (talk) 14:07, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Colin: A pity that this happens: 1, 2... 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 14:35, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- ArionEstar I don't understand your links and what your point is. It isn't at all a shame that pictures that aren't actually "our finest" aren't promoted. Is this some Brazilian bias, that you won't accept there are really big technical problems here. -- Colin (talk) 16:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Colin: I just requested to leave this nomination active for maybe someone comes up with some comment and/or someone who can improve it. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 16:43, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
