Comment You haven't got one without the man have you? Charles (talk) 23:10, 7 March 2017 (UTC)- Support The man, providing scale, doesn't bother me at all. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:00, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support Nice view and the guy add life and scale to the photo. Without him, this would be just another sky-rock-ice-sea pic where you could complain about the deep shadows down left. The concept also brings to mind the start pic on Photoshop CC, I don't think they would have chosen a bad pic for that. ;) --cart-Talk 10:11, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support - I agree with cart and Martin. Moreover, the pose the man takes really helps us feel an emotion of exhilaration in viewing the photo, and the first criterion in the 12 Elements of a Merit Image that Tomascastelazo so kindly linked for me is impact: "Compelling images evoke laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion." The man, like us, is looking at the scene, although he's over to the right and doesn't dominate the photo. His pose suggests exhilaration, so we are able to feel this vicariously through him. Had he been facing us, it would have been a more typical pose for the camera and would have taken a lot of the quality out of the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:36, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- Support Per cart and Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 15:38, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
Neutral I like the idea of use a human like a measure to understand the size, however, 1) the iceberg is located very far from the subject and I can't imagine how this person could be used 2) The person pose is very distracting with open arms he attracts absolutely all the attention of the image, subtracting importance from the main subject.
