Original - Rhone Glacier with a thunderstorm passingEdit 1 by Fir0002 - tweaks to contrast/colour/lighting
Reason
It all started with a beautiful day where I wanted to walk from canton of Uri to canton of Valais (Furka pass with Rhone glacier in between). As I was walking up the mountain more and more clouds came up. That's why I aborted the plan to go all the way up. I took the bus and went to the hotel in front of Rhone glacier almost on top of the pass. By the time I arrived in front of Rhone glacier there was just this thunderstorm passing. I've never seen such black clouds! No question I wanted to take a picture of this scene. But how to make a panoramic without a panoramic head? Because of the heavy snow falls in winter all the railings on the way to Rhone glacier are made out of wooden beams sticked on steel tubes. In winter you just remove the wooden part. So I put my camera on one of these rotating wooden beams where I expected the nodal point and rotated the camera around that steel tube. I think it's an exceptional image. --Ikiwaner (talk) 20:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Weak support Nice view of the glacier, but the noisy sky doesn't help. You also would want to use it in Rhône Glacier, as its current use in Rhone is pretty weak. Previous comment struck: the Rhône Glacier is the source of the river. SpencerT♦C01:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Support But the caption could do with expanding a bit (particularly, what's the tunnel going under the glacier?). Time3000 (talk) 10:39, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Support original, Oppose edit. The original is just fine. Coincidentally I was at the upper reaches of the rhone river on the very same weekend when Ikiwaner took this picture. It is a beautiful shot that perfectly captures the gloomy atmosphere. The edit is IMO unnecessary and distorting and should not be performed by a person unfamiliar with the location in general and the conditions in particular. --Dschwen16:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Weak Support original, Oppose edit. Perfect shot, doesn't need edit. Not sure of its encyclopedic importance though. --MakEshout!04:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
