Support. Wow! --Avenue (talk) 01:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support. The puddle reflection is nice in the "pretty picture" stakes, but makes the image a bit confusing, which hurts the EV. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:38, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support I tend to agree with JJ Harrison about the puddle hurting the EV. The puddle is fascinating, but I can see as to how someone could think the cave is exactly the same on the bottom as on the top. It kind of gives a false impression of the actual cave.

- I think the visual confusion makes you look twice, and helps draw you into the subject. The water is an unusual feature for a lava tube, so emphasising this adds to the picture's EV. --Avenue (talk) 20:56, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support per Harrison. Also the caption in the article is rubbish and needs to be improved. Image page could do with a better description too. Its use doesn't really count in the Lanzarote article as it's just one of a billion images in a gallery. --jjron (talk) 16:14, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the suggested category is wrong too. Should be Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Places/Landscapes or possibly Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Places/Others. Interiors is for buildings. --jjron (talk) 16:43, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fixed. Tomer T (talk) 17:05, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've rewritten the caption (and much of the article). --Avenue (talk) 01:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support I don't think the EV suffers much from the reflection, since presumably that's how the tube naturally looks. There's a bit of chromatic aberration in the jumbled shadow/light area at top right, but I think the overall quality of the photo makes up for this minor flaw. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 22:14, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
