~~Comment~~ Oppose – Visual information not readily identifiable to general readers. – Sca (talk) 13:19, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Sca's comment. It's certainly an arresting image qua image, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at, or why the water in one half of the image appears to be frozen while the other half is not. I like the photo, and I could imagine hanging it on my wall, but because it borders on the abstract and is so hard to interpret, I'm skeptical about its EV, and I don't think it should be the infobox image in the article on the reserve. A photo like this one, while not as visually interesting, would (in my opinion) do a better job of illustrating what the landscape of the reserve is like.

Oppose per Sca. My first impression was that I'm seeing something rotting on the left side, and mold growing on the right side in a macro- or microphoto. Janke | Talk 10:27, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
