•  Oppose Besides a partly blown central snow field, I see little featurable in this image. Left side looks tilted CCW. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 07:05, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

• You can see Sweden's tallest mountain, and several famous glaciers (notably Storglaciären, which has the world's longest data record). The phenomenon on the left is just a normal consequence of the panoramic projection and the fact that you don't have a straight horizon. Another thing is that the valley increases in altitude from left to right in the panorama. The picture also gives a overview of the research station's location.

• The picture may show interesting items, still it is not outstanding itself IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 11:40, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Question I find it interesting, that it has a big contrast alternating very much between almost white and almost black. I am wondering if the contrast is a little too high? Does it really look so black and white? I seems some features are missing, especially in the dark areas, where I believe shadows could be highlighed more. The researh station buildings has very little colors. Are they really colorless or could the image simply use a little more saturation? --Slaunger (talk) 12:01, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

• That's how the place looks like during summer - large albedo variation everywhere. Of course, if I did a vegetation-only shot, I would have used the Levels tool to tweak the photo, but doing something here would just create an unrealistic picture. If you want a closer look at the research station and the vegetation (the whole valley is above the tree line), see the Tarfala category that I made...

•  Comment OK. Thanks for the explanation. I just wanted to be sure. To better understand the geographical context, could you please add a geocode? --Slaunger (talk) 21:46, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Very interesting landscape. --Slaunger (talk) 22:28, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment Looking at the louds in the background on the left, this image seems to be tilted ccw. --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:53, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment I saw that too now, and I have fixed it by following approximately the average tilt of the clouds for the re-aligning. Alexandar Vujadinovic (talk) 21:12, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
