Thank you, Daniel78! Absolutely amazing comparison! I'm going to add this image to other-versions tab of my image :)--Mbz1 (talk) 18:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral for now, feeling the pressure to support (though I can still oppose, eheh). But why is the picture so soft and with so little detail? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

To answer your question, Joaquim, I could have provided some mitigating circumstances like, for example, that while taking the picture I was hanging on at a very, very loose ground on one foot, that the hot springs were far away, and that's why the details are missing, that the trail to the place cannot be even called a trail, it is a steep hike over loose ground, that's why I took no tripod with me... and so on, and so on, but I'd like to say only this: I'm sure that most of you would have taken a much better image of this amazing place, and I mean it. Please feel absolutely free to oppose it. I will take your opposes as a man :). No matter what happens with the nomination I'm glad I nominated the image because of a very interesting comment by Daniel78. Thank you all for the comments and for the votes.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:52, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral It must be an amazing place, but the photo isn't sharp enought. And why is that road on the picture? Crop it? —kallerna™ 21:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Great colours but very little details (smeared by post-processing?). Shame. Lycaon (talk) 22:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
  • @Lycaon Do you even review what you comment ("Shame.") about other people's work? For a Commons administrator, you seem not to be aware about some rules, viz., Please don't forget that the image you are judging is somebody's work. Avoid using phrases like "it looks terrible" and "I hate it". If you must oppose, please do so with consideration. Also remember that your command of English might not be the same as someone elses. Choose your words with care. Tiago Fioreze (talk) 10:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Hold your horses Tiago before you comment: shame is a synonym for it is a pity. Lycaon (talk) 10:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
      • You're right... it's a very obscure synonym. But "shame" can also be used to reprove someone for something of which they should be ashamed (quoted from the New Oxford American dictionary). Btw, why didn't you use "it is a pity" in the first place? It would have been far clearer what you meant to say. Tiago Fioreze (talk) 10:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
        • Maybe cause I'm not American? This first entry tells a different story. Lycaon (talk) 10:57, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Concur with Lycaon: looks like overentusiastic noise removal. -- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 00:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
