Comment I didn't want you to think that because no-one had yet voted or replied, it was because this was a bad nomination. This is a good photo for sure, and regardless of the outcome of this nomination, it should be nominated at COM:VIC in the right scope. But for the purposes of featured picture candidates, I compared it to comparable existing featured pictures in Category:Tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic. File:Dennis 2005-07-07 1550Z.jpg is more dramatic and shows the entire cyclone more clearly; File:Hurricane Isabel eye from ISS (edit 1).jpg is an amazing photo of a hurricane's eye; and File:Hurricane Isabel from ISS.jpg, which is most directly comparable to this photo, is better lit and gives the viewer more of a sense of the movement within the cyclone. What's also true is that the two photos other than the closeup of the eye are bigger than this one. I still think this is a good picture and worthy of nomination, but I'm not sure it stands up to the rest as a featured picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:45, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
