  • Support as nominator –  — Amakuru (talk) 22:50, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – An arresting image, but one must wonder what sort of lens was used. Sca (talk) 15:51, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A 16 mm lens on a full-frame Nikon - as stated in the EXIF data on the image page... ;-) Oppose because it quite misrepresents the island - compare with this: [1] --Janke | Talk 18:59, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The perspective seriously harms the EV of this image, which is much better served with an aerial photo. (This is why we run our own FPC.) MER-C 19:02, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Janke. Distorted. – Sca (talk) 14:07, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Distorted, and shows very little of the island. Mattximus (talk) 14:51, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Per Janke, MER-C, Sca, and Mattximus. --The NMI User (talk) 03:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant oppose the image would probably do well as a Commons FP. Here on ENWP, I agree that it's not a good illustration of the subject of the island, although the image could be re-nominated if it's a good illustration for something else. --Pine 19:29, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
