•  Support I'm hesitating with this one and the Alternative 2. Anyway I'm not expert on that, but I'll say the picture looks great for the circumstance. --Acarpentier 15:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Best one of these, it just needs to cropped. —kallerna™ 21:03, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

If the image is cut on the left hand side I would cut the person. I believe it is important to have a person in the image to show the size of the eruption.If I cut on the right hand side I would lose other steams, that show how Geyser Basin looks on early, cool mornings. What do you think? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it should not be cropped. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 22:48, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Crop from left hand side. The person ruins it. —kallerna™ 12:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
