Comment It was a very long and a very hot hike to get to the place. We should have crossed an active lava field and neither my lungs nor my camera liked sulfur. I'm only telling you that in case somebody is going to Hawaii soon and wants to see the red lava himself/herself. I do understand that no one cares how I took that photo: whether I have broken my leg trying to take the picture(which I did not), paid million of dollars to get to this place (which I did not),or if I'm Ph.D(who I am not). I do understand that the only important thing is whether the photo is high quality or not(who cares about the subject after all). So, because I cannot rely on all of the above, my only hope with that picture is : The image is so smoky, that maybe (I don't think so) you will miss that the lava is out of focus while the ocean is overexposed and yes I cannot even dream that the picture would ever be put on the main page of Commons ( I guess I should to learn how to live without that honor).I really am ready to take criticism as a man (despite I'm a woman).Please also forgive me my ignorance for nominating the image (Like I mentioned in the beginning, I just wanted to share the experience, in case somebody is interested to see that smoky collision even in such a bad quality picture).--Mbz102:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
Support Though I wonder if it should be a bit more tightly cropped for use in thumbnails, or if that would ruin the composition. Adam Cuerden03:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support May be not a perfect picture technically speaking (look OK to me) but still a good picture which will be used in the different projects. Romary11:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose overexposed and it's basically just a lot of smoke ;). While it may be impressive to see it in real, I don't think this picture is -- Gorgo12:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A crack in a lava tubeOf course the picture is not impressive (just a lot of smoke). The thing is that lava is very hot and, when she enters even warm waters of Pacific, the smoke is created.(Could not do anything about it).Of course I was hoping against hope that everybody would see at least something red (like lava, for example) beneath the smoke.I'm still glad you've got a hint of impression even from this not impressive picture that maybe it is impressive to see it in real. It really was and not only to see, but even to feel, to hear, to smell. Before we were able to see the lava, we felt that our feet were so hot that it was hard to bear. We looked down and saw a red lava in a crack of a lava tube just beneath our feet. Then we heard a cracking noise that did not sound good, but the picture is not impressive and really cannot show all the excitement, when you see, feel, hear and smell it in a real life.--Mbz114:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
I guess so far we are voting for the first one. Other pictures were added because I was trying to create the atmosphere of really being there. If the picture will pass I would add other versions links to the picture page.--Mbz114:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
Support Every time I see this, I'm more amazed by it. (And I've labeled the images, to make clear that 2 & 3 have not been nominated.) Regards, Ben Aveling08:14, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
