Review
(criteria)
  •  Support Particularly striking about this image is the excellent depth cueing from the wind perturbed water on the lake. Many small islands are visible in this composition, making it very appropriate as a depiction of this area. The clouds on to the right of the peak in the center of the image are characteristic of the area and captured quite well here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremyblock (talk • contribs) 22:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Side comment I haven't reviewed yet. My side question: as Jeremyblock (talk • contribs) and Dcrjsr have both a connection with the Duke University, according to presentation on user page or contributions, I simply hope that they are two different users. --Myrabella (talk) 08:41, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Yes, the two users are different people. But I'd very much appreciate someone else explicitly reviewing the VI criteria, esp. comparative value. Dcrjsr (talk) 14:08, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Of the pictures in the category, this is the one that I'll most likely recognize if I see it again, or among other mountain images. --Ikar.us (talk) 14:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
