Oppose Per issues raised last time - lacks sharpness and detail, particularly around the geyser, in the trees and in the clouds --Fir0002 00:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Oppose for overall poor composition: too much foreground, not enough sky, etc. Moreoever, mentioning "FP on Commons" is not IMO a very strong or useful reason for a nom here, as English Wiki's FPC traditionally has much more stringent standards than Commons concerning quality and enc. value (of which Commons has none). Just a thought. --Malachirality (talk) 05:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - the picture was not promoted about 2 months ago and nothing changed.--Svetovid (talk) 21:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose per NyyDave in the failed nomination 2 months ago. Cacophony (talk) 03:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Support I like the image--Mbz1 (talk) 05:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose — sorry, but as mentioned above, it's not particularly well composed, and there are definite sharpness issues that are distracting. The foreground is wonderful, though. --Haemo (talk) 07:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose, the foreground is sharp, but the geysir and the background unfortunately aren't. --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 21:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose Focus should be in the center of the photo. --Sharkface217 06:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. I think it's pretty good. Happy New Year!! Malinaccier (talk) 00:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Image looks good to me, and sufficiently sharp. Caption could be better, to give an idea of how big the "castle" structure around the mouth of the geyser aperture is. Spikebrennan (talk) 22:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
