Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Winnipeg Snow Storm

 
A photograph of a freak snow storm that occured May 11, 2005 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

I photographed this freak May snow storm that occurred in Winnipeg. It appears it in the Winnipeg article. The picture is quite interesting as it shows an open outdoor swimming pool, with snow surrounding it.

  • Support I live in Ottawa, and freak snowstorms are really fun (no school!) but really freak lol. Its a nice pic! I like the trees in the background, and the tree that is really leaning in. It shows how bad these storms can be. My only suggestion would be that the picture is too low. Instead of having a large amount of just snow at the bottom of the picture, the picture should have been taken in a higher angle, so how abit more of the height of the trees. It just makes me feel confined. But i still like it paat 21:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Opposed - boring! A FP is not about how freaky storms can be but about the photo quality and composition. Adding it to the Winnipeg article is even a stretch. --P199 21:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. A swimming pool, brim full with water (and a floating air mattress to boot), all snowed in is not boring. This is much more eye-catching than the New York storm nominated a while ago, where nothing indicated it was "freak". The composition, with the angle formed by the flowerpots and stairsteps, focuses the viewpoint on the pool - a slight cropping of the bottom might improve it still. Quality is good enough, even if not tops. It does illustrate the climate in Winnipeg - much like here in Finland, where we also may get a freak snowfall in May or even early June... --Janke | Talk 21:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Half of the photo is snow-covered patio. An interesting addition to the Winnipeg article, but, in my opinion, not really FP stuff. bcasterline t 22:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
