SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info The big Island of Hawaii is growing by an hour. All brand new land (sorry lava) that pours in the ocean, creating new shoreline, belongs to the state, but if a new lava gets atop of the old one, the prior owner still keeps his rights. The owners home was covered by lava in 1990. Now they try to sell their new/old lava. The steams at the background are volcanic plumes from at least two ocean entries of the lava. There is a helicopter nearby to show how big the thing is.

  •  Oppose — It's nothing special. Nice photo but not really informative or educational at all. Acablue (talk) 03:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Informative" or "educational" is not a criterion here as far as I know. bamse (talk) 07:21, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If any picture here tells a story, this is the one. The picture shows lava desert, sign for sale and volcanic plume from new lava entering the ocean nearby. It it shows a helicopter to see the size of the plume. It is a great story for ones, who know how to read it. IMO the image is sharp enough.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I love pictures that tell a story, and this one does it for me. As for sharpness, well, I tend to concentrate more on the composition and narrative of a picture more than absolute technical quality. Feel free to disagree, but in this case I think the sharpness is adequete. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 09:23, 18 July 2009 (UTC) Vote added after end of voting period.
