Comment It doesn't appear in Napa Valley, only Napa Valley AVA. Should it appear in both? Noodle snacks (talk) 22:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. I changed the link to the article.It might be usefull in Napa Valley too, but there are quite a few images already.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:50, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do Napa Valley and Napa Valley AVA represent the same area or is one a subset of the other?

They do represent the same area. I took my image like 10 miles from city that calls Napa.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent resolution. I support both of them, but alt 1 is my favorite. More sky and landscape features stick out a bit more. Cant find anything wrong with it Tim1337 (talk) 08:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Both, Pref Alt1 per Tim1337, it is a better overall view rather than just partial view. Very striking colours on the vineyards... Excellent picture... Gazhiley (talk) 10:53, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support prefer the alt (more in the picture). Noodle snacks (talk) 11:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt. Alt is more interesting and has better composition. Kaldari (talk) 16:49, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support ALT1 Great picture, crisp and plenty of EV. Perhaps we could get a similar photo next summer? I imagine it's beautiful. Jujutacular ^T · C 01:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support either. The original has too little sky but enough foreground, and the alt has enough sky but too little foreground. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 16:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Both, Pref Alt1 -- Der Wolf im Wald (talk) 16:53, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support either Better tones in the sky and more interesting landscape on the latter, but the former gives a better illustration of the economy: vineyards, plus a winding road for ye olde winetasting tour (Napa is the most commercialized county in California for tastings; I dislike the slickness--too much like bar hopping for the nouveau riche, but there's no denying its importance).

Support ALT1 per Kaldari. Elekhh (talk) 06:01, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support original (but don't oppose alt) I think the comp. in the original is more elegant - you got the winding road, the pond moved up higher in the frame, and it doesn't cut off so abruptly at the bottom. And while I know that big drumlin in the alt is part of the landscape, my first reaction was that it unbalances the composition. Fletcher (talk) 15:14, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support alt1 gives better scope of the valley. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 17:16, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
