I know a slightly disproportionate amount of space pictures show up in this article, but this one in particular struck me as worthy of featured picture status. The color contrast between the lake and the surrounding plain draws the eye to the picture, and the slight cloud cover and the other four lakes in the background contribute to the beauty and (in a sense) to the exoticism of the shot. The picture is from NASA, so it is in the public domain- hence, no need to worry about copyright.

• Unacceptable, unless a larger resolution image is available. Preferably upwards of 800 by 600 pixels. Phoenix 2 01:35, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Checked the NASA website which has this image, and a higher res photo isn't available. -- tomf688^{< TALK>} 06:08, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose: It's unfortunate that a larger image is not available, but regardless of size the picture does not stike me as particularly beautiful or interesting. Raven4x4x 10:14, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
