Support - I support a feature both for beauty and interest. Here's the file description: Table icebergs are very rare in the Arctic as they calve from shelf ice, which is rarely found in the north. They are normally a typical form of icebergs in the Antarctic. This one has an estimated height of 10-12m and a size of half a soccer field. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:08, 18 November 2016 (UTC)- Support I wish there was a ship or something nearby to give the sense of scale, and perhaps some water at bottom could be cropped, but I like the overall visual appeal. lNeverCry 01:04, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

- Support Lacks some sharpness, but ok in 100% view. Like the composition, colors, and value. --smial 16:09, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

- Support, although I bet you could address the scale issue by cropping out most of the water at the bottom. Daniel Case (talk) 06:36, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
Comment - I think the fact that AWeith gives estimates of the size in the file description is really sufficient, though I can understand the desire for a visual basis for comparison. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:01, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

- Just a Comment regarding scaling before the voting period ends: honestly, it is really difficult to get an object or something in the vicinity in these latitudes to assist scaling. Mind you, we're beyond 80°North. I did not want to crop the waves away as I thought that they woul at least give some faint impression of the size. None of my fellow voyagers volunteered to step on the iceberg and we had no polar bear around this time. The shot was made from the uppermost viewpoint of our expedition vessel, this was the only way to obtain a view of the surface of this little giant. The shot was really lucky, I must admit. So, thank you Ikan Kekek for nominating it!
