•  Info Excellent detail and beautiful contrast of the autumn colours of the village with the arid hills and snowy Himalaya. And the bridge on the gorge! Simply gorgeous. ^{(edit: no pun was intended)} Created and uploaded by Jmhullot - nominated by UnpetitproleX (Talk) 19:49, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support -- Beautifully layered and 3-dimensional. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:50, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too tightly framed; mountains are too close to the top edge. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:54, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Well, indeed a bit more sky would make the photo even more attractive ;–) What do you (all) think: Would it be ethically OK to add a little bit more (artificial) sky? The sky is almost featureless, so adding some artificial sky would not adulterate the photo. To make clear what I mean I will try to create and upload an ‘amended’ version; if you don’t like the result, we can just revert it. --Aristeas (talk) 16:06, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

 Comment Here’s my two cents: I actually don’t mind the top crop (imo it is sufficient except maybe in the top left corner, where the highest peak is a bit close to the edge). Idk if this makes sense, but I kinda think of the mountains as part of the sky. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 17:00, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment A good view. Well, => here is a variant with a little bit more (artificial) sky added. (After some consideration I have uploaded it under a new name because the added sky may be seen as a serious change.) What do you think? Is this better or worse? Would we need even more sky? Best, --Aristeas (talk) 18:41, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

  I like it, but then again it’s just more empty space. I’ll add it as an alt. :) UnpetitproleX (Talk) 20:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support The photo is indeed cropped too much at the top. But for me this is a special photo.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per Ikan and Famberhorst. --Aristeas (talk) 16:04, 3 June 2022 (UTC) — I prefer the alternative version, but this one is good, too ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 19:40, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Alternative

• Thanks to Aristeas for a very well-done edit. Version with more sky added in. I  Support both versions, since to me the crop is too inconsequential to the image as a whole. -- UnpetitproleX (Talk) 20:47, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support A bit better, but not a real photo in a way. I don't think there's that big a difference, though I like the slight increase in sky in this version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:08, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Even better. Yann (talk) 08:44, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Added sky. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:55, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support No big difference, of course, but a bit more room to “breathe” for the mountains. --Aristeas (talk) 09:25, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support -- IamMM (talk) 03:39, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Much better. I see nothing wrong with adding sky as long as the end result is an faithful representation of reality. After all, we do promote modern drawings, which are completely artificial additions to a blank canvas. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:31, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Daniel Case (talk) 22:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Minor edit and it's documented, this version is better Poco a poco (talk) 07:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I'm inclined to agree with Diego/Poco (not sure which you prefer outwith the file pages). Some edits are much less... dangerous? than others. Flat sky colour is one. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:50, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Princess Rosalina 💄 452800 08:57, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support the edit is documented and this version with added sky is better --Lupe (talk) 17:09, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Impressive, fine capture. The added sky is a clear plus to the overall impression. Any edit that supports a nomination is an important input. -- Radomianin (talk) 22:42, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
