• Comment - Quite oversaturated, does not look real... --Janke | Talk 17:48, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
• Comment – looking at it at full size, the sky is too noisy and the trees are too blue. Doesn't meet FP criterion #1. Bammesk (talk) 03:23, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose. Although I can't speak to Brazil, my experience in Indonesia suggests that the tropical sun can certainly lead to high levels of saturation at higher altitudes (this FP is an example... though admittedly that FP is somewhat less saturated). However, the noise in the sky suggests that quite a bit of post-processing was involved to get this saturation, and even if it weren't, the noise would be a deal breaker. I can see what I can do in Photoshop. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:52, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

I've uploaded an alt with some minor changes. As the original was a finalist in a competition, I do not feel as though it should be overwritten. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Still too "postcardy"... Janke | Talk 08:07, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Agreed, hence why I didn't support it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:12, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
