  • Oppose, sadly. This photograph is far too dark; the background should be green, not black, and the knots and contours in the bark of the trees are quite visible, as are all the individual leaves (not just the ones against the sky as here). It should be possible to photograph the painting so that these details are visible. Also, when you say high resolution, are you fully taking into account that this painting is over 10 feet wide?

  • Weak oppose - the (forest green) background is too dark, but, if that could be rectified, it would be excellent. St John Chrysostom Δόξατω Θεώ 08:46, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
