Support as nominator – — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:15, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support . An exotic landscape that shows an interesting feature. ^{and more landscape nominations would be nice...} Hafspajen (talk) 13:46, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support - definitely valuable and quite a pretty scene, though I can't help but feel it's not quite as sharp and detailed as it could be. A couple minor distractions in the foreground include a metal stake and some kind of utility line. However, it's high-quality illustration of the volcano itself, and given the smoke it may even have some value as an illustration of volcanic eruptions in general. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:30, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess Crisco can just cropp that off, if it is a problem. Probably it would benefit the composition too. The mountain will be more proeminent. Hafspajen (talk) 20:41, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I can crop if there is consensus for it. To get rid of the power line would be... perhaps 300 pixels. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:57, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have 5,080 × 3,387 pixels to crop from. Would't mind an ALT. Hafspajen (talk) 00:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the original as well. The powerline isn't a huge issue. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:09, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my guesstimate was off, but here's the alt. Don't quite like it myself. File:Mount Merapi in 2014 (edit).jpg. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. High quality picture, useful as an illustration of volcanic eruptions. --Carioca (talk) 19:45, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent encyclopedic value, reasonable clarity and good composition. I do however think the wire at the bottom can be cropped out. Chillum ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 06:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Yes, if one put that crop exactly above the line, because the rest is needed. File:Mount Merapi in 2014 (edit).jpg is too tight. We need the green leaves in the foreground as a contrast, as a frame. Hafspajen (talk) 19:59, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the proposed crop is too tight. The bushes at the bottom add to the composion. A crop that just barely removes the wire should look better. Chillum ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 20:30, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
