River of Rocks[edit]

Visitors to the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary enjoy excellent views of migrating raptors in the fall. At upper center, the "River of Rocks" is a boulder field a mile long and up to 40 feet deep, deposited at the end of the last Ice Age.

This was my old digital snapshot camera's finest hour, and I thought it would be instructive to see how it would do in a review. I've used it to illustrate the article on Hawk Mountain.

  • Self-nomination. I'm guessing the main objection would be excessive sharpening (done within the camera) - should that be addressed by further software processing? - Mike Serfas 20:10, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

  • I doubt it would pass, Bautiful place but the picture is tilted to the right and isn't composed really ENCly. The image quality its self is also so, so. -Fcb981 14:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sky is overexposed. I don't think this picture has much chance of passing. --Digon3 14:10, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, the purported subject of the image, the River of Rocks, is barely visible as two light-colored areas in the background. This might be nice on a hiking guidebook cover but it's not an FP. Daniel Case 13:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
