Oppose Unfortunate crop. Lycaon (talk) 15:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is too wide for a close-up and too tight for a overview picture. Lycaon (talk) 19:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. IMO, if one could see individual rocks inside the crater the image has the rights to be called close-up.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose No wow. Alternative 1 is way more dramatic. -- S23678 (talk) 02:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is my very favorite reason to oppose images of unique and rare phenomena. Well, I'm glad that me and you have just the opposite opinions of what is and what is not "wow". Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can see from Halemaumau Crater, this has been going on since March, so, rare, maybe (I am not volcano expert), but rare enough to disregard normal guidelines for FP pictures, no, not for a thing that has been going on for 3 months. The wow factor is not just the rareness of the event, but also the feeling you have when you look at the image. I look at alternative 1 and it looks bad, like a powerfull thing, like something's gonna happen. But I look at the 2 others, and it's no different to my eye than clouds of steam from a papermill. That is my "no wow". --S23678 (talk) 03:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the article, I assume you noticed that this is the the first explosive eruption of Halemaumau Crater since 1924. I do not ask you to disregard normal guidelines for FP pictures. IMO the image meets all the guidelines for FP pictures. I just said that I am very glad it was and is a huge "wow" for me. Your opinion is different and that's OK. As with all my nominations my main goal is to share information and knoledge, make people to read the articles, as you did and learn something new. Maybe you could answer not to me, but to yourself this question: "if I did not see Alternative 1, would I still have opposed the two others for "no wow"?" If the answer for this question is "yes", I have nothing to add, if the answer to this question is "no" than I do not think your oppose vote is a valid one.Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like the other one better. --norro (talk) 14:44, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral nice picture, but the other one is nicer. —αἰτίας •discussion• 00:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Only picture of the 3 to have a "wow" effect: the dark clouds makes it looks like it's from hell. But the picture quality is not good enough for my FP vote, it's not even sharp from the preview window. Perhaps some of it comes from the fact that it's only a 300 kB picture... Do you have a higher quality picture? -- S23678 (talk) 02:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For Lycaon with love :=) I really mean it, dear Hans. Here's a good reason to oppose: "not enough details."

Comment As you could see at the right hand side of the image the Sulfur dioxide is falling down to the ground far away from the emmision vent. It was the reason to close down more than a half of Hawaiian Volcano National Park. Sulfur dioxide is very harmful to people health.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
