- Support -- The creator's other contribution Commons:File:St Georges Asylum.jpg is also gorgeous. Someone should ping her and encourage her to contribute more! Coat of Many Colours (talk) 02:00, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- There are sometimes editors who contribute a couple amazing images, then disappear. The FP File:Lava Lake Nyiragongo 2.jpg was uploaded by a Dutch editor who uploaded a batch of nine great images then just stopped editing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:00, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- I actually really like File:Iceland Glacier.jpg too, although her attention to the file description is slightly lacking, there's no such thing as the Golden Glacier in Iceland. There's a Golden Circle tourist route that covers that waterfall, but the filename/description is encyclopaedically useless... anyway, I digress. If she had stuck around a little longer we may have had a chance to improve that. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:37, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support - It is an outdoor spa with warm water, and people can use it even in winter. A lovely place, lovely image. Hafspajen (talk) 04:34, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. It's a somewhat unencyclopaedic image IMO, as it's dark and you can't really see anything of it except a reflection of the sky, and some lights in the background. There are much more useful images in the article, although none of them are particularly awe-inspiring. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:27, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Weak support EV could be stronger, but this image might do better as a Commons FPC. --Pine✉ 07:25, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not even sure it would do well on Commons FPC. It's out soft/out of focus (check the lights at 100%). Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:37, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose low encyclopaedic value + per Diliff. I can't see the "Blue Lagoon". Perhaps an other view of the "Blue Lagoon outside area"? So I'd like to upload it. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 17:14, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose as per above, the uniqueness of this lake is the blueness. It's taken when it's so dark that the colour doesn't stand out, reducing the overall EV. Mattximus (talk) 22:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
