Support -- WeatherWriter (talk) 01:56, 19 December 2023 (UTC)- Support License issue fixed. Larger image. Yann (talk) 21:22, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Comment Too soon. Better images may be uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:32, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Charlesjsharp, that doesn’t matter for featured pictures as multiple pictures of the same event can be featured pictures. That only applies for Valued images, which is the best of a specific category and/or event. WeatherWriter (talk) 23:13, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- We should never promote a low quality image of a live event like this. If, in a few months time, it turns out to be the 'wow!' image of the volcano, then it can be nominayed. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:18, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Support Indeed even better photos may follow, but IMHO this one is already very impressive. Quality-wise it has a little smartphone touch, i.e. strong sharpening of contours, but this may be just due to the high contrast. --Aristeas (talk) 08:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support Wow indeed! ★ 11:13, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Oppose The photo has "wow" in spades, but the quality is just too low for me, too "smartphone-y". There is also that distracting lower left corner thing. I'm not using a crystal ball comparing this to other photos that may follow (although I'm sure they will since Iceland is becoming a magnet for volcano photographers), but with other photos of volcanic activity we have here. --Cart (talk) 13:01, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- Oppose per above, sorry. --A.Savin 16:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Charles. I think that after an event like this it's always better to wait a while and see what photos turn up than just promote the best one we have right away. Cmao20 (talk) 18:26, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Quality issues: high JPG compression rate and distracting structure at the lower left corner.
Question Is this version upsized? Can you provide the source where this resolution (4500px large) appears? On the file page, the only source indicated is Twitter, where the resolution is low (only 2000 px large). It may also explain the artifacts visible when we zoom -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:23, 22 December 2023 (UTC) - Oppose per Basile. --SHB2000 (talk) 08:02, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 09:46, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
