Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Glacial lakes, Bhutan.jpg

Glacial lakes forming as glaciers rapidly recede from the Himalayas. This image clearly shows glacial retreat, and the trasition from ice to water along the way. Each of those long channels is a separate glacial valley. Used in: Geography of Bhutan, Glacier, Glacial motion, Glaciated valley, Himalayas, Global warming.

• ( + ) Support Good image, but is there a higher res available? --Fir0002 09:41, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I've uploaded a larger version. The problem with the original version is that it has vertical scan line that become very obvious if you try to sharpen the image at all. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-10-29 13:41
    • I just had a look at that original and to be honest I don't see a vertical scan line at all, and I gave it a once-over with unsharp mask... Looks good to me. But I don't think the higher res copy has much detail that the smaller one doesn't have. Diliff 15:38, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Support. Very cool. And it's high res enough for me! Enochlau 10:39, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• This is one great image. Now I want a thousand times more pixels and a flyby of this region, it looks so interesting! — Sverdrup 01:39, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
