Reason

Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite as generous as with my previous Lake District FPC, but there's detail a-plenty, a good vantage point over the town, and dramatic and interesting scenery.

• Could you adjust the level? The image looks a little dark even thought I bear the weather in mind.--Caspian blue 17:03, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I know what you mean, but the levels are already very carefully adjusted. As you say, due to the weather, the exposure ranges from bright sunlight (on the right side) to heavy shadow and haze on the left/distance. If I brightened the shadows any further, it would increase the haze/decrease the contrast. As it was, I waited over half an hour on the side of a windy hill just to get the shot as it is. If I lived there it would be trivial to reshoot on a sunnier day, but unfortunately I don't. This weather is quite typical of the Lake District though.

• "The image “http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Keswick%2C_Cumbria_Panorama_1_-_June_2009.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." is all I get with the latest release of firefox 3. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
  • It works for me - Firefox 3.5. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Latest stable release that is. It works in iexplore, so not sure what the problem is. Noodle snacks (talk) 07:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
      • 3.5 is stable. Was released very recently. I've had that problem with Firefox 2 and 3 on my work computer intermittently, but never on my home PC. Not sure why it does it either. Could be memory related perhaps. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
        • For what it's worth, it just happened to me with this image on my laptop using FF 3.5, but re-loading 3 seconds later worked. Strange. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support Only unfortunate thing is the haze, but can't do much about that. Noodle snacks (talk) 07:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
• support this picture is interessest as well with the haze – Wladyslaw (talk) 13:01, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

• Support Excellent detail and decent lighting. I'm particularly impressed with the level of detail in the more hazy sections of this image --Fir0002 10:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support As the son of a couple of locals (well, next valley over) I can agree that this is about the best of the average weather you are going to get in this area... You may be lucky and get a nicer day, but it's called the "Lake District" for a reason - there's a fair amount of water! Lovely crisp image even showing my dad's shop!

• Support - Outstanding, not only a good EV, but this image is an example of the essence of beauty. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 09:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
• Support - my first reaction was wow. On a closer look, my reaction became "holy crap". You can figure the rest out from there. Ottava Rima (talk) 00:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
