Mount Erebus[edit]

Mount Erebus, on Ross Island, is the largest volcano in Antarctica. This is a view from McMurdo Station on Hut Point Peninsula

I think the image fulfill all the criteria to be featured: It is of high quality and resolution, it is pleasing to the eye and so on.

  • Not too bad, It needs a good edit. Right now, I'm currently neutral on its chances at FP-ship, it's nice but it has some problems that might hold it back. Some issues for the image right now are the graininess, blown highlights, and lack of shadow detail. I'm most worried about the composition, the subject is that little tiny thing way off in the distance and most of the shot is taken up by other stuff. It can be cropped to a certain extent, but cropping can't solve all of the compositional problems I'd like eliminated while keeping above the resolution guidelines. I'm also concerned about the encyclopedic value of the image: all it really tells me about Mt Erebus is that it's snowy, surrounded by lots more snow, and vaguely cone-shaped (however, I'm not really sure what else a photo could illustrate about a mountain). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 23:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, it could illustrate that Mount Erebus has a lava lake in his crater for instance!
