Hurricane Igor

 * Reason:I believe that Hurricane Igor meets the criteria of a Featured Picture because it captures a monster hurricane that proved to be the most destructive hurricane to hit Newfoundland on record at peak intensity.
 * Articles in which this image appears:List of Category 4 Atlantic hurricanes, Timeline of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, 2010 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Igor
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena/Weather
 * Creator:Cyclonebiskit

 * Oppose -- An impressive picture, but the scanning artifacts (near the top left corner) kill the nomination imo. Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there anyway to fix these these lines? -- TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, AFAIK, unfortunately.  HurricaneFan 25  14:05, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Banding is not all that impressive.  HurricaneFan 25  14:05, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That's just not true at all, Igor has some of the best banding features seen in a strong Category 4 hurricane in this image. -- TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 15:10, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The banding on the east is brilliant, the banding on the west is dull.  HurricaneFan 25  15:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The hurricane cannot help that. :P -- TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 15:33, 4 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I don't think it adds much to the featured pictures we already have of TC's. That view is most like Rick and Gafilo, and I think both of those are more impressive. Therefore I feel it fails criteria 3. Of the images in Igor's article, I believe this is the most striking. Since the storm was the strongest of the season, I suppose you could argue that the image chosen is the most important, but I feel that its impact in Newfoundland negates that (since it was just an ordinary strong hurricane). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:53, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
