  • Oppose This only shows a very small fraction of the glacier, not giving the viewer any sense of scale. The page has other pictures that are more encyclopaedic. Mattximus (talk) 18:09, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have posted another image which has a much larger view.--Nvvchar. 01:40, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nvv, it's a very interesting image, but to be of featured picture quality the quality really has to be sharp and very clear. They're far from being quality photographs and are amateurish photos if you compare them to some of the high quality images of ice and snow which you can view by a google image search. Compare the quality with [1] for instance. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:57, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Can some other image such as this [[2]] be nominated. It is not taken by me.--Nvvchar. 04:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That one is severely titled and badly cropped with the top of the mountain lopped off. No way is that FP quality, IMO. 86.176.213.7 (talk) 14:37, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
