Mývatn lava island


A lava island in Lake Mývatn, Iceland. I think that it might have what it takes to become featured. It's currently the selected picture on Portal:Iceland.

 * Comment. This doesn't currently seem to be included in any article, which is a requirement. It probably could be added to an article though. Stephen Turner (Talk) 20:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Would be nice if it stood up to the scrutiny in an article. As seen with the Housefly nomination, people on FPC cannot be experts on all of the subjects depicted in the candidate pics. Yet encyclopedic usefulness is one criterion to get featured. --Dschwen 21:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Picture added to Mývatn.-- Hús  ö  nd  21:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentI'm not sure if it's enc enough, but perhaps better captions could explain. | A ndonic O Talk 23:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It has nice colours, but it's definitely too blurry. -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  23:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Agree with Pharaoh Hound, it is very soft. Could be significantly downsampled without any loss of detail. Also, if it is illustrating a particular lake, I feel as though it should have more context. If it were illustrating the concept of a lava island, then with a good caption it might be suitable. But in isolation, I don't think it contributes enough to the article. Nice image though. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 00:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - blur is pretty severe, and the composition seems slightly off to me - I'd like some more neutral space in the foreground or a slightly less 'flat' angle of view (purely subjective I know). --YFB ¿  23:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose The quality isn't high enough. Sharkface217 19:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Nice picture... Booksworm Talk to me! 15:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. Definitely needs a better caption. Terri G 11:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. The caption in the nomination has no bearing on the quality of the picture. The description on the image page offers the info I need to know. - Mgm|(talk) 12:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Diliff. -Advanced 07:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
