Saint Chely Tarn

Original - View over the cirque of Pougnadoire and Saint-Chély-du-Tarn village, in the Tarn Gorges, from the cirque of Saint-Chély. This picture features the road D 907bis which goes alongside the Tarn river all along the gorges.

Reason

This image is of a large size and apparent technical quality (FP on Commons). It illustrates the village of Saint-Chély-du-Tarn and surrounds well, and is also used to illustrate the geography of Lozère. It would also add great value to the Gorges du Tarn once created. A high value panorama.

• Comment. Well composed and nice detail, but I'm not crazy about the lighting. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. You may be right, I'm not sure. It could be that sunny cloudless days are rare, and not representative of the subject, in which case a cloudless day would have slightly less EV as an accurate representation. I'm not saying this is the case here, I wouldn't know. Mostlyharmless (talk) 01:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
• I would have prefered a clear sky as well. Actually, I do have another version of the same panorama without drop shadows and clearer sky, but sun wad behind me and lighting is very flat as a result. I would have had to wait a few more hours to have to sun litting the scene from aside, which isn't possible when lady sits next ;) (she was patient enough to wait next to me more than an hour). I also find the clouds shadows pattern interesting and think this gives this picture a little original touch. Let's see what other wikipedian think. Blieusong (talk) 06:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Support I love the picture enough and the detail, though, that I have to agree with Spikebrennan about the lighting and encourage you to go back and take it again and again and again, same exact composition, size, resolution, just get the god factor in the lighting. What a gorgeous image. --Blechnic (talk) 07:01, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
