Peterhof Cascade

I believe that this photograph does a good job of illustrating what the palace and fountains look like. There was a recent nomination of a photo this part of Peterhof, but there was a lot of concern about an overexposred sky; this version overcomes that with the help of a clear day and a polarizer. Dependign on what computer I'm on, the highlights may still seem a little overexposed, but I can fix that.

• Oppose. This might sound silly considering there are tourists all over the place, but those people in the lower left really bug me.

• Oppose not just because of the people since considering the location that probably can't be avoided, but more because of the odd angle the shot is taken from giving it a weird view. Cat-five - talk 21:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The angle and the lighting are both weird. People in shots don't bother me, but these people are looking away giving the impression that the scene is uninteresting. SteveHopson 15:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak oppose I know people can't be avoided, but people in the foreground can be, and the ones on the left spoil it for me. HighInBC 17:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Agree with Cat-five. Mikeo 15:00, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
