Reason: Fascinating panorama of a notable place, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wulingyuan. Good sharpness and size. Cons are the CAs in some places and the article itself, but overall I think it deserves to be featured.

Comment Looks like we don't have an article on the peak itself. Once it appears, I'll support the image (interesting landscape, reminding those in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although slightly blurry at full size). Brandmeister^talk 23:10, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Big size, impressive shot and cut. A bit of additional light would suit well in the composition, but I am comfortable with the picture as it is. This one is also a very good shot too. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 01:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having finally gotten to view this at full size, I do have some comments to make:

It's a bit grainy at full size, possibly due to JPEG artefacts. However, full size is gigantic, so this issue can be safely ignored.
It has an embedded colour profile. This may come back to bite us later due to all the bugs with image processing on Wikipedia (Wikipedia's coders are fairly incompetent on this issue; you may have noticed they still haven't fixed PNGs 10 years on), but it seems alright at present.
The large size is a bit of a killer for image processing. Even the flash zoom tool breaks when trying to deal with it, at least on my computer, which is somewhat old. However, downscaling is justifiably controversial, even for somewhat grainy images.

Support. Wonderful panorama. - Darwinek (talk) 22:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support I'd strongly prefer a photo that doesn't have the sharpness issues that this one has, but I agree with Adam about the size mostly making up for that. --Pine^✉ 07:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
