- It feels a little over exposed. Is that mist or to be fixed. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 16:10, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- It’s just the effect of humidity and long distances. —kallerna™ 09:07, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

- Comment. I think it's a pleasant enough overview of the place, but I have a couple of concerns, not strong enough for me to oppose but enough that I haven't yet decided to support this one. First, is the EV high enough? It's not (and should not be) the lead image for its article, but buried later in the article among quite a few other images. And second, when I search the same subject on Google Images, I see a number of views that similarly juxtapose the town with the backdrop of the mountain, setting it into its surroundings, but most of them are shot from closer in and take the effort to provide some foreground buildings to draw the eye in and set the scale. This image has no foreground; it's all middleground (the town) and background (the mountain). —David Eppstein (talk) 19:53, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- This is an encompassing aerial view of the town as compared to other images from a lower elevation. Within the article, it related to the content of the section, and shows the town and surroundings in a way that other images don't. We also have a slightly different composition. Bammesk (talk) 21:20, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Bammesk: I slightly prefer the other composition as it gives a sense of where the camera is, but, if we're adding it as an Alt, we'd have to notify everyone and it could be awkward and screw up the nom. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 23:53, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- Adam, I see your point (although some may find the foreground, lower left, distracting). There are pros and cons for either image. I prefer the current nom image (it shows the left side ski slopes clearly, the site of 2026 winter Olympics), but the other composition is a valid option too. You could introduce an alternate or do a delist and replace at a later time. Bammesk (talk) 01:30, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
