 * Oppose --- The only part that is relatively sharp is the very centre of the picture; the rest is very blurred, particularly towards the top, where there is also haze/blur and noise. The composition and content are not particularly striking. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 12:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, the image was taken from a helicopter. Still the image has a good EV, and is a rare image of Kohala from above. IMO the image still nicely shows the hotels, the lava flows,the reefs, the palms, the village and even a golf course, in other words everything that Kohala is about. I added down-sampled edit, still fells into the size requirement--Mbz1 (talk) 13:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Edit 2 Uploaded. Selective levels adjustment to reduce haze. --Muhammad (talk) 16:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, prefer edit2 Some minor motion blur but I can look past that for the amazing scene and the good EV. I have added Edit2 but if you want to remove it feel free --Muhammad (talk) 16:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Muhammad. Your version does look much better! I'll take QI template off and add your name as an editor of the image. --Mbz1 (talk) 17:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak support for edit 2. Strong EV outweighs the unsharpness IMO. It's an appealing image, but the composition isn't ideal, hence only weak support. I find myself wanting a wider view including more of the sea. (I've revised the caption.) -- Avenue (talk) 13:48, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Could we identify the major buildings better? 75.41.110.200 (talk) 17:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Good idea. These maps might help:, . I will add some notes tomorrow, assuming no one beats me to it. -- Avenue (talk) 01:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Notes for the main buildings and geographic features are done.--Avenue (talk) 13:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Support for edit2. IMO the view is very impressive, and combining with the articles linked from the description it is good enough. Broccoli (talk) 22:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Support very good. -- George Chernilevsky talk 15:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
