Original - Kukenan Tepui at Sunset, from Tëk River Base Camp.
Reason
Principal reason: very poor quality images of the whole Gran Sabana and Canaima National Park. No high-quality images of Kukenan Tepui in the article describing it. Second: this is a difficult place to reach. The trip to the Kukenan takes three days on foot. The tepuy is not reachable by car. Available pictures of Kukenan tepui have very little quality. It is also quite rare to have good lighting conditions and no clouds in front of a tepui, so, a picture like this, is quite uncommon. And finally, there are few high-quality pictures of Gran Sabana National Park, that's why I think this one should be included in featured ones. Kukenan`s height is about 2700 mts. It is located in Venezuela, Gran Sabana National Park, in Bolivar State, near the borderline with Brazil and Guyana.

This has now been reopened with a new nomination page. My suggestion would be, rather than formally closing this old nom and listing it as unsuccessful (which will look confusing in the archive) we should just redirect it. Chick Bowen 21:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
