Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station

A full moon and 25 second exposure allowed sufficient light into this photo taken at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the long Antarctic night. The new station can be seen at far left, power plant in the center and the old mechanic's garage in the lower right.

An edit with noise reduction and hot pixel removal.

A stunning image of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, this photograph was taken using a 25 second exposure in order to gain enough light to take the picture. The red light is from the base, while the dazzling green is an aurora. The image illustrates both the articles Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and Antarctica and was uploaded to Commons by Jsymmetry.

Neutral. Now I don't dare to oppose, but the cropping is a little tight for my taste, especially at the bottom. Poor framing? --Dschwen 17:56, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'll buck the trend even further and say that I don't really like the composition much at all. It DOES seem to be an interesting scene but I don't think the position is ideal. It just seems messy and unfocused to me. The image itself could also do with a subtle clean up.. There are a lot of hot pixels and noise that could easily be removed and I don't believe that it is overstepping the bounds regarding editing, as they are the by-product of digital imaging and not in front of the lens at all. I'm not sure I'd support it regardless of how it was cleaned up but I might have a go at it anyway. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 23:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support - I couldn't even believe it was real until I opened up the full resolution version. This looks like something straight out of Doom III (you know, the research station on Mars). --Cyde Weys 18:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
