I think it's a great picture. Used in Eyjafjallajökull. From the Commons.

  • Hmm, I'm not sure how to explain why I don't like this one very much. Firstly I'm not sure how natural all that blueness is, and this photo doesn't leap out and grab me. Can we have a picture explaining how to pronounce the name? :) Raven4x4x 07:09, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree that the blue monotony doesent look very natural, but who says that has got to be a bad thing? Its a beautiful photo and the detail of the ice in the foreground is just stunning! Tekana | Talk 20:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Neutral. While I realize that glaciers are supposed to slope, the far side of the ice is close enough to horizontal that the slight tilt looks bad. —Cryptic (talk) 21:28, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. I love the colour of the ice, but I believe that that is natural, just the way the light reflects and refracts through the water and it. I do, though, agree with Cryptic in the fact that it is tilted a bit to the left. Although glaciers do slope, this is a floe on a lake. Not counting waves, the surface of water is usually flat, therefore if the piece of ice is not sloping itself (which it does not appear to be) then it would be horizontal. I might be able to fix the tilt though. —Vanderdecken ℘ζξ 11:29, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Neutral. Looks good zoomed out, but the focus and colours when viewed full size are less than optimal. Enochlau 13:13, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I agree with Enochlau, although the focus bugs me more than the colours. Raven4x4x 05:04, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • ( − ) Oppose I know it's not compressed, as the file size is large, but the mountains just have the appearance of low quality jpeg compression. Focus is also a problem --Fir0002 07:52, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • Support. Color looks spectacular on my monitor. At full size, mountain backdrop slightly less sharp than I would like, but this is too small a defect for me to vote oppose.—encephalonέγκέφαλος  15:42:50, 2005-09-10 (UTC)
