Original – Mount Greylock State Reservation in Autumn (Greylock summit on the far right)
Reason
It is the only image in Wikimedia to offer a complete view of the eponymous reservation, it is of high technical quality, and it is taken from a difficult-to-hike-to destination that required lugging 40lbs of camera gear uphill 6 miles through the woods.

  • Comment Gorgeous. Think the tilted tower is maybe a result of barrel distortion from the panoramic lens? Six faint or very faint circular patches in the sky area, and that dark blur that looks like a UFO.
  • Comment from nominator Hey thanks for the feedback everyone. I think both the dark artifacts and the distortion mentioned above are results of the composite process as I had to stitch this from a few different frames on my 35mm. I am going back there this weekend to try with a wider lens. I will work hard and hopefully back with a better picture! ----------Protophobic (talk) 13:40, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
