Original – Panorama of the Five Fingers Peak of Huangshizhai, in Wulingyuan
Reason
Fascinating panorama of a notable place, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wulingyuan. Good sharpness and size. Cons are the CAs in some places and the article itself, but overall I think it deserves to be featured.

Having finally gotten to view this at full size, I do have some comments to make:
  1. It's a bit grainy at full size, possibly due to JPEG artefacts. However, full size is gigantic, so this issue can be safely ignored.
  2. It has an embedded colour profile. This may come back to bite us later due to all the bugs with image processing on Wikipedia (Wikipedia's coders are fairly incompetent on this issue; you may have noticed they still haven't fixed PNGs 10 years on), but it seems alright at present.
  3. The large size is a bit of a killer for image processing. Even the flash zoom tool breaks when trying to deal with it, at least on my computer, which is somewhat old. However, downscaling is justifiably controversial, even for somewhat grainy images.
