Question I can't understand the picture. It doesn't look natural to me, can anyone explain?--Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 03:27, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Comment I get it: the white "river" is actually dunes. But this looks like a drone pic yet isn't. Was unusual processing used? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)- Comment Fabian Roudra Baroi: this is a aerophoto of the landscape and on the ground it looks like this. -- Ivar (talk) 07:05, 23 February 2023 (UTC):Thanks for explaining, I got it. But as I dont have much knowledge about this kind of photographs I'm gonna be
Neutral.--Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 21:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC) 
Weak oppose- Ikan Kekek & SHB2000: I'm not sure, what kind explanation you expect. This is a aerophoto of the landscape (taken probably from the plane). -- Ivar (talk) 12:19, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

- I see. That's a useful explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- @SHB2000: You wanted a ping ;–) Now there is an explanation by the author of the photo, Vania Passos, see below. --Aristeas (talk) 19:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping, Aristeas! I've struct out my oppose !vote. --SHB2000 (talk) 20:09, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

- Support It's hard to tell what I'm looking at -- in a good way. From the thumbnail, I would've just as easily thought this was a microscopic image. I had to do some research to figure out what this place is, and I'm surprised I haven't heard of it (and that I haven't seen it come up at FPC before): Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Fun fact: it's where the planet of Vormir was shot for the Avengers movies. :) As for drone/aerial, isn't the next logical conclusion a helicopter? A search shows a few results for helicopter tours there. — Rhododendrites talk | 15:58, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Neutral I would like to know what's going on with the processing (and the use of the .PNG format, which may not have helped). Before reading the description I honestly thought it was some ice-cream treat packaging. Daniel Case (talk) 20:30, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per Rhododendrites. It could be sharper, but it’s an aerophoto and as a whole it is of overwhelming beauty, like a really good abstract painting. --Aristeas (talk) 09:31, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- I am the author of the photo. I made it from a small plane, without the side door, sitting and facing with the camera down. They are white dunes and the black river whose waters have this coloration, due to the chemical composition of the waters. Vania Passos Vania Passos (talk) 14:20, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your explanation, Vania Passos! --Aristeas (talk) 19:20, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 15:07, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support This is a really interesting photo, so like a good Landsat photo, I suppose it deserves a feature. And I'd like to join Aristeas in thanking Vania for explaining the circumstances under which the photo was shot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:16, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
