Original – An iceberg in Fonfjord, Northeast Greenland National Park.
Reason
Rita Willaert's photograph of an iceberg in Fonfjord (part of the world's largest national park) is a beautiful, dynamic composition with excellent colour balance and contrast. The iceberg, shown in full (well, the above-the-surface portion), stands out to the viewer as a icy monolith of nature. An illusion of movement is created by the clouds, drawing the viewer's focus onto the iceberg; almost absorbing them. And, of course, the water itself is highlights this all and more, showing a subtle reflection of the massive iceberg in its surface, further drawing the viewer in.
The photograph is available in high resolution, is free to share and adapt under the Creative Commons license, and adds encyclpedic value to both the Fonfjord and Northeast Greenland National Park pages (and likely many more, should it be selected as a feature picture).
This eye-catching image, I was shocked to find, is not already a featured picture and I feel it demonstrated perfectly the type of incredible, awesome images Wikipedian's love to see.
