Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Mountain High

Reason: Gives a great deal of information about mountain high, and with the fog, is in my opinion, quite pretty.

Oppose - This isn't really a panorama of the resort, it's a panorama of a carpark, some cars, a few random people and a couple of trees. A very small part of the resort is visible, but not sharp and not prominent, in the middle. Reasonable stitching but otherwise just a snapshot - no encyclopaedic value, and it certainly doesn't give "a great deal of information about Mountain High". Try again on a clear day and from a viewpoint where you can actually get the resort in the frame, without distractions. --YFB ¿ 01:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the east resort is on the left and west resort is middle-right. Also mountain high is usually foggy, and is rarely clear.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mtf612 (talk • contribs).

I'm sorry, but this picture has almost no chance of becoming featured. The parts of the resort that are visible are indistinct and uninformative, and are not nearly prominent enough in the image as a whole, as evidenced by the fact that you felt it necessary to point them out. Even if Mountain High is "usually foggy" (it's not today, for example: [1]) there is no way that a photo largely consisting of cloud will be a suitable featured picture of the subject. If it's really not possible to get a good photo of the resort from a high vantage point, I suggest trying a shot from somewhere below the cloudline, where you can look up at the resort and make it a more prominent feature of the photo. Try to illustrate a specific part of the resort clearly if it's not possible to get a good shot of the wider area. --YFB ¿ 01:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment you should probably give it a more descriptive name. gren グレン 20:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - a foggy ski resort car park? I don't get it. I like panoramas, but we need a bit more than this. What's the focus of the image? Are the cars and kids intentional? Stevage 02:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - maybe if you cropped the car and such, but really it begs for a different shot from the same roll. Brianski 10:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The kid in the photo i liked, as t is symbollic to me of the awe one sees in such a majestic mountain. However, the car was not on purpose and i agree it ruins the image. I agree i need to go to a better location, i simply went here because i wanted the east resort in the image. Hopefully next time it will be a clear day.
Oppose - Not really special, in my opinion. Tomer T 16:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Fog obscures most of the sky and a bit of the mountain, and there are distracting details such as people, cars and litter. Mrug ² 22:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
