a Wikipedia:Featured picture

Great photo of Polar Bears investigating a submarine near the North Pole. Shows animals interacting with human technology in their natural habitat, which is rarely seen in photos. From the U.S. Navy. Neutralitytalk 02:57, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. The bears are small and the submarine/Honolulu only partially visible. I'm not sure which article this photo would be suitable for. --Menchi 08:32, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support - Menchi, the bears appear fine size to me in the non-thumb photo. Perhaps USS Honolulu (SSN-718), polar bear and human and animal interactions. Its illustrative, we just need a context.--ZayZayEM 13:30, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • oppose. I considered nominating this myself a couple of weeks ago because its got a certain wow factor, but in the end I couldn't decide what it was illustrating. The bears are too small for polar bear, the submarine isn't shown much at all. It could work for 'environmental destruction' or 'wilderness' or something (not that the submarine is particularly to blame, but polar bears are a sensitive indicator of environmental polution). Also the fullsize is a bit blurred and grainy. -- Solipsist 08:46, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Amazing shot. - Jpo 18:51, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Lovely picture, although it looks better at small->medium sizes. Great use at USS Honolulu (SSN-718), but I think the caption at Arctic Ocean is poor.jlang 23:48, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
