Info Now for some arc/tis/tic topic for a change. Very often you experience some weather in the arctic just like in every other part of the world but the atmosphere is entirely different. Mind you the silence that prevails everywhere and the light that is really different. Judge yourself whether I brought the foggy, sunny morning mood across. -- AWeith (talk) 14:03, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Pure poetry. It's one of those pictures where you have a hard time realizing that it is actually a photo and not a painting. I've seen the horizon vanish many times at sea but never like this. --cart-Talk 14:19, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Fantastic. --Laitche (talk) 02:50, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I'm going to be the party-pooper here. Yes, it's artistic, but I can't recognize anything but the sun, its reflection in water (the only place where I really recognize water), some ice and its shadow. Everything else is a total blur or black. That's probably what you saw, but to this viewer, it's opaque and not clearly informative. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:11, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support per Cart and others. Per my comments in the past on how the possible use of the image is a factor in wowing me, if this were a movie onesheet (at least in North America, based on its shape), I would find out more about it to see if it was as worth seeing as this image promised it might be.

Support Very unusual and highly artistic. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:40, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I don't mind pictures that challenge the spectator. Well executed. --Pugilist (talk) 20:35, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Pugilist's argument has won me over. You're right. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:30, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
