Atmospheric perspective, or aerial perspective, is the effect caused by the atmosphere on the appearance of objects observed by a viewer. As the distance between the object and the viewer increases, the contrast decreases and the colours become lighter and more bluish, until the image of the object eventually fades into the sky. In this picture, the effect is emphasized by a series of mountains in different planes, photographed in a near contre-jour situation.An alternative image that may better illustrate the article. Not in an article as yetAnother alternative, taken at the same spot as the original
Oppose — you're right, it does illustrate the atmospheric perspective very well, but there's little else that would make it FP worthy. Too little detail, and the trees are distracting — Jack · talk · 16:21, Saturday, 31 March 2007
Oppose. Agree with above, it does illustrate the subject but is aesthetically and compositionally quite unremarkable. I've just uploaded an old image I had lying around that I feel might illustrate the subject better and is a bit prettier to look at. Admittedly the 'silhouettes' don't seem to be as visible in the thumbnail though, but I think that is partially because of the comparative height of the image. Thoughts?

Support alternative. I like the alternative, but I think in the other one, the trees overpower the desired effect. └Jared┘┌talk┐22:53, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This one: covers the aerial perspective and the tea fields below, and actually looks attractive. (Also oppose Diliff's alt for this nomination, for lack of blue shift). ~ trialsanderrors22:54, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with that one though is that the "blue" section is only a small splotch in the center by the time it turns lighter blue. I don't think that portrays the effect as well as the second image (the tan-ish colored one). └Jared┘┌talk┐23:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alternate; Oppose original, Trialsanderror's alternative. The latter two have blown skies and look somewhat blurry. The alternative looks directly into the sun and yet the highlights are perfect. It doesn't include the blue shift because of the time of day, but oh well.--HereToHelp23:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Info - I'm adding a new alternative, taken at the same spot as the original. The first plan is less distracting but the sky is a little overexposed. Several grades of gray/blue are clearly visible. Alvesgaspar23:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
