Frozen Twigs (Jan 09 Midwest Ice Storm)

Original - During the January storm, most outdoor surfaces were thickly coated in ice. These are frozen twigs just before melting began. This picture was taken in Floyd County, Indiana.

Reason: subject is sharp, footprints define the backround, interesting situation, the footprints and twigs kind of form a dynamic pattern.

Oppose - Minimal EV and the article is literally 28 words of prose. The image quality is not all that impressive and no part of the image implies its location or consequence. No relation between the article and the image. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 05:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If the scene can be reshot, try it in portrait orientation with fewer branches and frame it so the background snow is undisturbed by footprints. Durova^Charge! 06:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above, and snow is white, not grey. F10 is too narrow for a p&s, the whole thing is soft. 58.6.103.48 (talk) 14:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per reasons above. Sasata (talk) 07:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Also, there's a white blemish(?) in the top, left of centre. Can this be retouched? Microchip08 21:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
