•  Info Baikal ice on sunset. The Small Sea Strait, lake Baikal, Russia. Created, uploaded and nominated by Sergey Pesterev -- Sergey Pesterev (talk) 15:19, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Sergey Pesterev (talk) 15:19, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Great! --Yann (talk) 16:18, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Question Did you stand on that crack in the ice??? --Basotxerri (talk) 16:21, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@Basotxerri: Yes, it's not as scary as it looks. Ice thickness was slightly less than 1 meter. -- Sergey Pesterev (talk) 16:35, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

•  Support I was not sure if I should vote for an image that could endanger your life, however, because your reply I will vote support. --The Photographer 16:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
• Weak  Support for now since I'm not too happy about all the leaning reflections (plus a skater/fisherman) at the borders. It would look even better with perspective correction. Btw, The Photographer, didn't you see the tyre tracks of a car in the other pic from this location? :) --cart-Talk 17:26, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

I can't see it maybe it's a joke --The Photographer 17:48, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Nearly 1-m-tick-ice can support pretty heavy weight. There was a FPC with a frozen lake in Switzerland with people skating on 20-cm ice. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:23, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

The Photographer, I've added a note on the photo (I'll remove it later). Up here in the north we actually do a lot of car racing on the frozen lakes. Here is a drone film of some cars having a bit of fun on a Swedish lake. There are also organized races and the big car manufacturers come here every winter to test their new car models, this is big business here for many small towns. According to the national safety instructions here, the ice should be at least 10 cm for a person, 15-20 cm for a normal car and 30 cm for a heavy car with passengers. --cart-Talk 18:37, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks W.carter for your clarification and remembering that I'm a person from the caribean sea and I don't underestand too much this subjects, Btw, I'm very scared off cold weather and in my ignorance I came to the wrong conclusion. I loved the video although I do not know if I have the strength to go to a frozen lake and walk --The Photographer 11:43, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm sure I would have similar reactions to things in your part of the world. ;) --cart-Talk 21:39, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not as striking compositionally as the other ones, and too noisy and unsharp for me. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment - I find this photo quite compelling and would like to vote for it, but I will have to oppose unless the problems noted by Daniel can be ameliorated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:48, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
• Regretful  Oppose per Daniel --Uoaei1 (talk) 08:11, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Daniel & company. -- Pofka (talk) 11:42, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Neutral This is really great, but the image is too noisy. Sorry. --★ Poké⁹⁵ 05:53, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose per my comment above, subject to change if the photo is edited. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:18, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
