Augustine Volcano Erupting

File:Augustine Volcano Jan 12 2006 edited-1.jpg

Original - Augustine Volcano erupting on January 12, 2006. This eruption occurred simultaneously with several other eruptions at the time, including one at Mount Cleveland

Reason

Once again, colossal EV. It is currently a valued picture, but the Redoubt picture managed to pass so I have confidence that this can, too.

• Oppose I suggest keeping it as a VP. The image quality is just not good enough - it's noisy even on the preview page. Fletcher (talk) 02:03, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
• Speedy close It won't get promoted whatsoever. Quality just isn't there, as Ceranthor mentioned about the noise. ♣ZooFari♣ 02:23, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose, but not speedy. It meets the basic threshold for resolution, license, and encyclopedic value. Worth reviewing, and someone might possibly locate a better version. Durova^Charge! 04:55, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose its a shame though because if it weren't so grainy it would be a really good photo --Thanks, Hadseys 11:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose - can't seem to find my glasses. Xavexgoem (talk) 13:23, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Hold on... the Redoubt picture was way grainier than this and wasn't that much compositionally better. Alas, oh well. Ceranthor 00:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

• Weak oppose Is it just grainy in the sky, ie from dust or is it just me? Shame, it's an exciting subject. Terri G (talk) 16:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
