Original - The Canigou (el. 2,784.66 m./9137 ft.) is a mountain located in the Catalan Pyrenees of southern France. Due to its sharp flanks and its dramatic location close to the coast, until the 18th century the Canigou was believed to be the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.
Reason
Good image quality and has encyclopedic value, showing a part of the world that few people would get to see. Stitching quality appears to be acceptable. Note: 360 degree panorama.

  • Comment There's some strange artefact on the ridge below the sun - the top half is really blurred, and there's a distinct line below which the rocks become sharp. Is it atmospheric or photographic??? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 23:34, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm dubious about the EV-- you can't really see much of Le Canigou in this picture, given that the photo is taken from on top of it. Wouldn't a photo that showed the mountain (taken, for example, from a nearby mountain) have more EV? Does this photo have good EV for any other mountains in the area?

    • Comment seeing as people frequently climb to the summit, I'm sure there is some EV in showing the summit. For instance, the article also mentions, "On its summit there is a cross that is often decorated with the Catalan flag." -- this is clearly visible in the image (left side) and thus helps clarify the article.

  • Oppose. Poor image quality in some of the panorama segments. Nothing that can be done about it other than going back up and re-shooting. Which, coincidentally, I might have the chance to do in about 6 months time. Will have to see. :-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 18:50, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
