Comment I'm finding that the hay and mud in the lower right corner is harming my experience of the form. I'll suggest a crop for your consideration. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You raise a good point in that the lower right corner almost doesn't fit, and I would be interested in hearing how you would recommend cropping the photo. However, I also feel that the mud and dry grass lend a sort of rural feel to the image, and this combined with the obvious coldness of the ice seems to fit with a general description of Alberta, which could be, "sparsely populated and cold." Also, I think the brown and tan colors balance out the white nicely. Thanks, — Angry Red Hammer Guy <💬> 04:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I just realized that you annotated the photo with your suggestion. Thank you, I will consider it. — Angry Red Hammer Guy <💬> 04:34, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Upon further consideration I have decided not to crop the photo, even if this risks including too much mud. This is because the suggested crop, while removing a fair amount of dirt, would also remove one of the footprints. This would leave only two footprints in the photo, and it seems to me like three footprints is much better at conveying movement than two footprints (because a set of two footprints can be left by someone standing still after arriving there, but to leave three footprints requires at least one step of continued forward movement). That's the way I see it, but I am very interested in hearing more opinions about this. Thanks. — Angry Red Hammer Guy <💬> 15:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
