•  Support Fantastic! --Kikos (talk) 17:37, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Support. Two days ago I saw this image. Great! Thanks to colleague from my country...--Brateevsky {talk} 18:53, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Great colors! --- [Tycho] ^talk 22:13, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral I basically like it despite some niggles (framing, a bit dark). I'm more concerned about the colours. Looks a bit too yellowish to me. I tried to play with WB at home but couldn't get something really better, so there must be something I missed. - Benh (talk) 21:18, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it was very difficult to choose correct crop from 3:2 to 16:9 - I wasn't sure if I need to keep more sky or more ground... As for WB, it was taken at the sunset, hence the color cast --- [Tycho] ^talk 22:13, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes I guessed it was taken at sunset. But that highlighter pen yellow color seems a bit off to me. Could it come from post-processing ? - Benh (talk) 22:58, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

It was taken not by a conventional Bayer-CFA sensor. It produces amazing colors sometimes, but may be less accurate. Probably I can make it less vivid and more neutral, but that would defy the whole point of sunset --- [Tycho] ^talk 23:08, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose So it was not me. I support the alternative instead. Out of curiosity, why camera did you use? - Benh (talk) 22:08, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose I'm not convinced about the colour either. The yellow just look/feel wrong to me, and some of the blue is a bit too blue as well but that could just be me. -- KTC (talk) 23:52, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose --Quoc-Phong NGUYEN (talk) 07:58, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Support I do hope the colours are genuine, it's a great image. --Charles (talk) 10:17, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

•  Support --Nobelpeopleuploader (talk) 17:22, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose I am unconvinced by the light colour also. I don't remember witnessing as yellow evening sky ever. I bet the actual colour of the backsky was closer to orange, reddish, brown or towards pink. I wouldn't know but doesn't feel right anyway. --Ximonic (talk) 17:36, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose That yellow is seriously wrong. Makes me wonder if Tycho's monitor is adjusted properly. -- Colin (talk) 20:35, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• I clearly see the difference and I like this version because it looks more vivid (or vibrant? Or saturated? something along that lines). Some people believe that this kind of camera has yellow cast or something like that, so you may be partially right --- [Tycho] ^talk 20:45, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Issues with the yellow. -- Christian Ferrer 21:28, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Support I liked the yellow, deal with that...-- RTA 21:51, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose wrong colors. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:59, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Testing with color balance

•  Info I hope it is ok that I tested it by altering the color balance. This is something closer to what I would think it looked like. However I cannot be certain... Just to give you an idea. Greetings, --Ximonic (talk) 18:06, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for your efforts. If you want to know my opinion, then I prefer my version - it doesn't looks as realistic as yours. But let's see what others will say --- [Tycho] ^talk 18:16, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• I understand. The impact of a picture always differs after such changes. As much as it might be about what's real or what's not it might be about the matter of taste and compromises too. --Ximonic (talk) 18:20, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
