Support A bit noisy, especially noticeable in the middle of the picture. But considering the impressive beauty of the motif, it is of secondary importance. -- Radomianin (talk) 23:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looking at the sky, I see some severe banding and pixelation - is this due to my laptop's LCD screen, or can other people notice the banding? Janke | Talk 08:06, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Janke, the banding exists around the sun but is almost unnoticeable, even when zoomed in. — Nythar (💬-❄️) 09:44, 4 February 2023 (UTC)\[reply]
  - I'm not seeing anything either. There are pixels in the shadows, as one would expect, but overall this looks to be high quality. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:03, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't see banding either. Just a small lens flare in lower right side. Bammesk (talk) 15:43, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - I had another look on my desktop 27-inch display - no banding. Thus, support. --Janke | Talk 13:16, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support – the infobox image [1] is a good depiction of the mountain and I'd have supported its nomination. But if we are ever going to have a qualifying sunrise or sunset photo, the nom image would qualify. It shows the city (Rio) in the foreground and is a well rounded and attractive balance of foreground and background, including the mountain. Bammesk (talk) 15:56, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
