Dawn vignetting effect - swifts creek

Original - Vignetting can be used to artistic effect, as demonstrated in this panorama

Reason: I feel that this picture deserves kudos both on its artistic and technical merit, in that the photo (in my opinion) meets the FPC criteria as well as presents an incredible image of its own accord. Aesthetically this picture is undeniably pleasing and, I think, very well composed, especially as a panorama.

Comment, I almost mentioned that it shouldn't be made an FP because of the dark lighting on the edges... then I looked at where it was used. But, why would this best represent the subject? gren グレン 12:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ResponseThe subject, being the loss of "brightness or saturation in the periphry", is better illustrated by the depth of the loss of both brightnesss AND saturation in this picture than any other I have seen.
  Ideally this image could have been used in panorama as well, but I don't see any justification of removing/altering what is already there. Maybe we could take that into consideration as well.

Comment What is the dark smudge next to the tree on the far left? I find it a little distracting. CillaИ ♦ XC 15:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It doesn't really have big encyclopedic value. In vignette it should be posted at the emulation section; I actually think it would be better toward the end of lomography, as this is what it reminded me of when I saw it. Artistically it's ok, but the vignette could have been a lot more subtle for me, although (strictly speaking) it isnt really an FPC criterion. --mikaul^talk 10:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; this picture is flawed. I see a smudge on the upper-left corner of the image, as well as an alien dot in the sky somewhere near there. In addition, I note that the upper edges of the image are...bent. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 08:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
