Support -- Simon Mer (talk) 04:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)- Support -- Tinss (talk) 16:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC) While this picture could use some post processing and reframing, it illustrates in a humorous manner the difficulties of winter (exacerbated by climate change in this case).
Comment The image description lists "pic 1 of 2". Please link to the second picture on the description page, ideally through "other versions". -- Ram-Man 18:43, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Oppose -- no wow factor Dman41689 (talk) 20:10, 30 January 2015 (UTC)- Oppose good wow factor, but bad iamge quality. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Poor image quality, suffering from severe noise reduction everywhere. No wow in composition (why not get closer to the main subject?) --Kreuzschnabel 03:14, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- Snowball (ahem) oppose If the point is to show the beaver damage to the tree, then why not just take a closeup of that rather than burying it amidst some random silvicultural display? I also don't see from first look what climage change has to do with this ... in fact, it rather suggests the opposite (Now, palm trees in Estonia would suggest climate change

- FYI Daniel Case, snowmelts like this have become increasingly frequent over the last decade. Having 10 oC+ temperatures in January is not normal in Canada. Otherwise, I agree the subject would be much better illustrated with a but more focus on the tree itself, there is a closeup version on the file's page in case you want to see the beaver's work in details.Tinss (talk) 19:12, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- Nothing in the image, or the filename for that matter, tells us this picture was taken in January ... we have to go to the EXIF for that. Or where it was taken FTM—I could take such a picture in the Catskills, near where I live, where such January melts have historically been more common. If you have to explain this much to get someone to understand why it should be an FP, it's not ever going to be an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 19:25, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
