Wikipedia Best Pic
By Asha

Wikipedia, which is managed by Wikimedia, is among the top 10 websites in the world and especially popular in India.

Wikimedia Commons is an online repository of media freely licensed and available for anyone to use and repurpose. Every year the Commons community highlights the best media submitted over the course of the previous 12 months, in what has become the Picture of the Year Contest. This year, German Wikipedian Heinrich Pniok is the winner of the Sixth Annual contest for his picture of Lake Bondhus in Norway.

German Wikipedian Heinrich Pniok shot the picture using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with 24 mm focal length, then digitally retouched the image. Known as User:Alchemist-hp on WMF projects, Heinrich is a familiar participant at the featured-picture processes on Commons and the English and German Wikipedias, and has gifted to Wikipedia an array of fine pictures of the chemical elements, inorganic compounds, minerals, insects and animals, plants, landscapes, and places.
