•  Oppose Something's bad here.. maybe the shine on the waters. --staka.^talk 22:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Support I think this is an outstanding image, the two riders facing each other offer an interesting opposition to the copse of wood on the right, the mountains in the background provide a good context that this is a wilderness image and is not one taken close to town; and the river in the foreground shows an aspect of life we all require; water. Together it shows that even in the most remote of places, life is not only possible, but that it thrives. I agree that there is a shine off the water in the foreground, but I think this actually adds to the image in reflecting the sky. Together the composition is wonderful and balanced, left-right; top-bottom! The snow in the foreground reflects the snow on the mountains; bringing to mind both the summer that is coming and the winter that was, and that will later follow. Excellent image! fr33kman -s- 22:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Support I must travel there someday. Could you add date to infobox? —kallerna™ 16:56, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Interesting composition. The only weak part I see it is the under exposition of the riders. Tiago Fioreze (talk) 19:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
