Reason: It's a nice fountain during the rest of the year, but in the winter, when frozen over like this, I think it's particularly striking. Here, taken on one of the coldest nights of the year, to me it almost looks like something out of a fantasy film. It's a Quality Image on Commons and there's encyclopedic value in that it's a good image of a notable fountain (Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain) at, in my opinion, its most visually interesting.

Oppose Daytime image more encyclopaedic. This image does not improve value of article Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:16, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support – I thought about the nighttime lighting issue, but those lights shining on the ice make for an interesting composition – and the darkness reduces the distraction of a cluttered background. Sca (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose structure of the fountain cluttered by icicles. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:35, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – perspective distortion on the right side is heavy, and I find the busy background distracting. Bammesk (talk) 15:13, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Cool picture for sure, but the icicles obstruct the view of the fountain, so it would have low EV. Mattximus (talk) 15:07, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
