Halemaumau vent

 * Reason:Good Ev. Failed its FPC nom a couple months ago, but I think it deserves VP at least.
 * Articles this image appears in:Pele (deity), and if promoted, should probably go into Kilauea (the alternate already is)
 * Alternative image is used in Halemaumau Crater and Kilauea--Mbz1 (talk) 05:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

 *  Support original Strong oppose Alt- The rainbow doesn't fit in with the picture, especially since it is not raining in the image. The rainbow also appears to come to an end on an exact location, especially the area in which it is clear of clouds. Rainbows don't normally appear like this in the current posture of the view. Additionally, I don't like the perspective of the alt. You can distinguish the smoke from the clouds easier with the original image.  Zoo Fari  23:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * On second thought, this image is not in any article that describes this event. It only says that this is where Pele lives in this crater according to the Legend.  Zoo Fari  00:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * May I please ask you what you mean that rainbows don't normaly appear this way? Sure they do in Hawaii. Here's for example an image by usgs.gov from this site.--Mbz1 (talk) 05:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose - Not much EV until it's added to Halemaumau Crater, Kīlauea, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (even if you do just add it to the gallery), and maybe even pit crater (could replace first image, methinks). I would say withdraw the current nom, place the image in at least some of those articles, then renominate in the beginning of March. Right now, using it solely in Pele isn't good enough. Oh, and while I love the fact that there's a rainbow in the alt (I know how tough it is to get one in any shot), I would only support the original (and should you place it in at least a couple more articles, I will support). I also updated the caption (and would suggest you use the new caption on the file page as the caption for your nom). ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 05:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose alternate: Out of place raindow. Original: Not much EV in Pele (deity). Should be placed in relevant articles then nominated after 1-2 month(s). -- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:32, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi everybody. Thank you for voting and commenting on my images. If I may I'd like to say that a rainbow never is out of place. The image with the rainbow was published in two magazines in India and Germany (both times on the cover),here's one. It was also published at NASA site here (scroll down). BTW how about this rainbow that I photographed from a helicopter, or this one at Zanzibar are they also out of place? And how about this image of mine Steam_Phase_eruption_of_Castle_geyser_with_double_rainbow.jpg ? Out of place again? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 05:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
