Oppose. It looks like image deconvolution has been performed (heavily) on this one in order to reduce blurriness. Unfortunately this has introduced some structures (at the size of the tree leaves - due to the chosen parameters of the point spread function) on the wall surfaces, in the water, and elsewhere that would most probably not be on a high-quality picture of this scene. The introduction of this additional structure is making this picture look sharper than it actually is. Mikeo 09:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Mikeo. Main features in photo not as crisp as other FPs. --Bridgecross 13:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't pretend to understand all of the discussion above, but I think it's pretty neat that you can actually see the graffiti carved into the rocks InvictaHOG 14:54, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Mikeo. Also, it has a painterly quality (sometimes good but sometimes not, as in this image) due to the substitution of color contrast and saturation for luminance contrast (which can't be boosted without blowing out most of the highlights). -- Moondigger 19:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice colors/composition. --Fir0002 11:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Great image, but I because the photographer has changed the lisencing on the source, Wikipedia policy would be to delete the image if he asks, thats a bad position to be in with a Featured Pic IMO. PPGMD 22:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Support PPGMD 23:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- See Commons:Image talk:Rogue River Oregon USA.jpg. I don't think that will be a problem in this case. howch e ng {chat} 22:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong SupportI like the colors of both the rocks and the water. AndonicO 18:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Makes me homesick for my native Pennsylvania, it looks like the image could have been taken there. TomStar81 (Talk) 00:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
