Meteor Crater, Arizona

Reason: All appear to be very high quality photos of the giant, dozens-of-millenia-old hole in the ground that I thought were pretty eye-catching, have high EV, so I thought it was worth a shot to nominate one or all of them.

Support Image 2 Only one I can support is the one from space, the panorama doesn't show nearly enough of the rim to get an idea of what your looking at, same with the other image. — raeky T 04:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The panorama is not up to current standards. It lacks the details to get an idea of the scale (for example you can barely make out the fenced in part at the bottom of the crater). I've been to that crater in 2004. And I'm sure I took pictures, but the quality is probably even more out of date now :-) --Dschwen 13:09, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The others? --I'ḏ♥One 05:10, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    - They want to know if these pics should be voted for. ;-) --I'ḏ ♥One 18:46, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support image 2, oppose image 3, weak oppose image 1. EV solid on the NASA shot, and I actually liked it more than I thought when I zoomed in. Image 3 is "just another shot" tacked on to the bottom of the article- not really seeing what it's adding, and the colour/quality is a bit off. Image 1 has fair EV, but I don't think the quality is quite what I'd like to see from a panorama. I can also see (what I assume are) stitching problems. Just follow the horizon along.

Comment on Old picture by Dschwen Actually if the colors didn't look so muted I'd say that's probably the best panorama we have of the creator. Maybe a tweek in photoshop to make the colors pop more and I would support that. Doesn't freak me out, why would you think so? lol. Except that I suspect you've been everywhere on the damn planet by now, every place that we nominate you have a picture of as well! Wish I could afford to travel as much. — raeky T 03:57, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Dschwen's has a few stitching errors on the horizon, for what it's worth. Makeemlighter (talk) 18:10, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
