Lake Palčje panorama

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 23 Aug 2020 at 08:55:54 (UTC)

Original – The intermittent Lake Palčje in SW Slovenia during high waters in early winter (above) and the drained area in autumn, two months earlier (below).

Reason

I believe it meets criteria. The most comprehensive image of this subject (aside from panorama of the empty lake, is a combined nomination possible?) telling an interesting story of intermittent Karst lakes.

Edit: nominated the set as per TSP's suggestion below. — Yerpo ^Eh? 08:39, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - firstly: balance seems a little dull to me, and I think it has a slight anticlockwise tilt? Second: yes, nomination of image sets is possible, (e.g. Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Turgot map of Paris (2)) and I'd suggest that the pair of images, with the lake full and drained, is much more notable than either image alone. (I wondered if they might be more satisfying with the same crop, but that requires throwing away a big chunk of both images, so probably not worth it.) Given no votes have been received yet, I'd suggest you just edit to nominate both images together. TSP (talk) 12:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Done, thank you. As for the tilt, I had the same feeling, but when I tried to correct, the trees weren't upright anymore, so I think it's just an illusion due to waves on the left side of the lake. — Yerpo ^Eh? 08:39, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough, you may be right - it was only a question of perhaps 1°. (On dullness, I discover I like it a lot more on my other monitor, so I need to check my calibration!) TSP (talk) 11:02, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support set. I should warn, though, that we're in a slow period at FPC, so votes might come in, well, slowly. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.4% of all FPs} 09:34, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
