Here's some new cropped banners. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 12:40, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Banner 0. Formerly used on Alpine Way (my second most favourite highway)

Banner 1

Banner 2 (looks like autumn/fall to me. summer gets much more snowfall)

Banner 3

Banner 4

Banner 5

Banner 6

Banner 7 (a pic of Snowy Mountains Highway; my most favorite highway. Maybe this one is more recognisable given that road sign)

Banner 8 (another one of SMH)

• 5, 4, 6, 2. And Mazel Tov for completing 500 banners! Ground Zero (talk) 12:53, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. It's been pretty enjoyable cropping these banners :) Although I wonder if I'll ever end up cropping more banners than ויקיג'אנקי, who looking at their banner collection, seems to have cropped a little more than fourteen hundred  ;) SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 12:56, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Banner #5. #4 is only 1024 pixels wide. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 13:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Any last minute objections before I add banner 5? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 01:48, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

5 doesn't look realistic to me. I can't pick between the others and would simply say that I prefer any of the others including the current one, except for 4, which as SelfieCity pointed out is too small, and 3, which is IMO uninteresting to look at. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Is it because of the excessive light in the background? But I'd be opposed to featuring 0, because it has no snow in it. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 03:06, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

It seems oversaturated and posterized at least, but is the combination of colors even credible? Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:32, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Well, the banner does have EXIF data. Unfortunately, w:Alpine National Park doesn't seem to have any similar images of that kind. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 09:24, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Does EXIF data address what was done in post-processing? Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:14, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I don't know. I'm only a casual photographer – and I don't upload those to Commons so I don't really look at the EXIF data into what they do. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 10:49, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be any consensus here, but I'm just going to add 5 because that made it in my list of favourite banners. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 01:47, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Banner II

I know we had a long banner discussion five months ago, but it had objections by Ikan Kekek for the combination of colors (which is completely reasonable), but it eventually found good use on Alpine National Park. And since using the above discussion, banner 6 would be next, which I'm not a huge fan of as there is not much snow, I made another banner. Only downside is that I feel the page may turn too NSW-centric as that is where most of Wikivoyage's coverage of the Australian Alps is centered around. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 06:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Banner 0

Banner 1

None stand out way above the others to me, but I'd plump for #2. Or #7 as a close 2nd choice. Nurg (talk) 01:51, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
