•  Support Great composition. Considering this is from a point-and-shoot, it's surprisingly good (above average). As I understand the FP guidelines, we evaluate the image at 2MP, where this one looks fine for any web usage (I can't see any of the defects at this resolution like I can with many others). In addition, most noise processing in P&Ss destroys fine detail in scenes like this, but you can see the individual grasses and they are not horribly smudged together. It is high resolution as well, so it's also useful for printing. The sky is also not blown out and the colors look natural. Heck, even at 100%, the noise blends in with the natural colors. I think this image is suffering from picky voters that expect high quality at 100% or images from SLRs. -- Ram-Man 23:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • featured pictures should not only be "above average" (50% of all images) but some of the finest images on commons. -- Gorgo 20:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
    • While I was not referring specifically to your comment, many people opposes because of the quality even though they liked the composition. I see this as an example where we do have a "fine" composition, but this is being neglected in favor of technical pickiness. Obviously if you don't like the picture, that's fine. -- Ram-Man 21:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

It's a shame the actual image isn't ON the Isle of Skye! The image is of Buachaille Etive mor, on the road into Glencoe pass. And I'm from Australia!!!
