Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Hurricane Elena

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Satellite image of Hurricane Elena in the Gulf of Mexico taken by Space Shuttle Discovery on September 1, 1985.

I'm honestly very impressed with this picture. It shows a very clear view of just about the entire storm, and very descriptive in that it shows the cloud tops and curvature of the Earth. I'm surprised this image isn't featured yet. --Dylan620 (contribs, logs)help us! 23:14, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I dont mind this image but I would point out issues why it might not pass, it is slightly cropped on the right, doesnt seem focused/sharp (i say this in comparison to other featured storm images) also there are hairs/marks on the photo. I'd get some other peoples views before taking mine to seriously because i havent voted on all that many storm FP's --Childzy ¤ Talk 23:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Refer to this just closed nom - you could expect a similar response. Basically, for most people one storm looks pretty much like another and we already have a few featured. Refer to Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena/Weather for other featured storms - in particular this image reminds me a lot of , which is already featured. FWIW the creator is "Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center", which we'd usually abbreviate to NASA. --jjron (talk) 07:52, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
