  • I too would like——to have ALT featured. But original is a tad better IMHO. In fact, I compared both before nominating and "I have opted for the original." I think the picture may have been wrongly placed in the article, but the section 'Location' describes the background of the Sign, like the tower and those antennas. So I think I prefer original.

  • Lower left has a relatively large fuzzy (out of focus) area. That's strange for 79 images. What is that? Bammesk (talk) 05:32, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
  • It would be understandable with a single exposure (I suspect that bluff is a fair bit closer than the rest of the scene) but I'd agree it's a bit odd when everything else is very sharp indeed. Amazing photo though. Prefer alt: crop compositionally. But original has greater EV. - Wolftick (talk) 14:23, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Hello and thanks Nikhil for the nominatiuon! :-) The unsharp area on the left is out of focus. Because of the depth of field. I focused on the sign and took every image with this adjustment. So the result is like a one-shot with extreme aperture. I think the result appears more natural if you use the same focus setting in each of the 79 single images. The unsharp foreground is OK for me, because through that you get a depth effect and nothing important gets lost. Regards, Der Wolf im Wald (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
