  • Oppose Sorry, but the rock surface is not very sharp focus-wise at all, and there is a white halo around the top of the rocks... Not quite good enough for me sorry... Plus to call this a mountain to a fell walker is a little rich - it's more of a rocky out-crop of a larger mountain than a mountain in its own right... But might just be the angle it's taken from...

I didn't say it was a mountain, I said it was a mountain formation. An outcrop is a type of formation. The Utahraptor Talk 12:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and I almost forgot. That "white ring" around the mountain is just clouds. The Utahraptor Talk 12:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well it is in the article for Mountain and thus EV is weak there... Plus the ring I'm refering to is definately not cloud - it's a haloing... Although I'm not technically minded enough to know what causes it, I know it when I see it... Gazhiley (talk) 14:23, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, having looked through the Mountain article, it's really out of place in there as the rest of the pictures are of the alps, himalayas, mount olympus, and other impressive mountains of the world... And then there's a picture of a rocky outcrop on the side of a hill/mountain ( we can't tell from the picture how high the land behind it is to actually know for def if it is even a mountain)... So based on that alone, let alone the haloing I'm sticking with Oppose... Gazhiley (talk) 09:54, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I have to agree with Gazhiley, I'm afraid. As a "check out this random rock" picture, it's not really there. If we had an article on the specific formation, I'd be more inclined to support. J Milburn (talk) 10:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Nothing special in my opinion, and I guess others above me agree with this statement as well. I'm sure there are some more interesting pics like this. Haljackey (talk) 05:43, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
