 Neutral Downtowngal is probably right. After thinking thoroughly about it, I am now pretty much convinced, that the image is composed. Otherwise I don't know, how these totally black, extremely sharp, completely noise free shadows should be explainable. Also I can't believe the size of the sun in relation to the foreground, also the dept of field is quite high considering the 200mm telephoto lens at f8. Either way hats off for the photographer or digital artist, but before I don't know for sure, I prefer not supporting it. --Curnen (talk) 01:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

 Comment Noise reduction on the shadows or they were originally so dark it wasn't needed, the sun appears so large in relation because of perspective distortion from a 200mm lens, and the dof isn't that large, the mountains in the background aren't in focus. It's fully possible to get a picture to look like this with very little or no editing. --Calibas (talk) 12:38, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Support This is a no-brainer, one of the most amazing pictures on Commons. Promote ASAP. -- JovanCormac (talk) 15:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment - f 8, 1/350, ISO 100. A lot more than color/exposure correction was involved here, and I'm not sure I trust the integrity of the image. Downtowngal (talk) 16:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
