Oppose. The lump of land in front hides the base of the fall and distracts attention. Also, I would prefer a realistic view of the waters, instead of the artificial smooth cotton-wool effect. Obvious EV though. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support--Rwxrwxrwx may go through File:Öxarárfoss, Parque Nacional de Þingvellir, Suðurland, Islandia, 2014-08-16, DD 029.JPG, File:ShiFengWaterFall 002.jpg and File:Elakala Waterfalls Swirling Pool Mossy Rocks.jpg for my reasons to support..--The Herald : here I am 11:24, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Rwxrwxrwx about the loss of the bottom of the fall - taking the picture from the green grass in the foreground would allow a much fuller view of the falls. gazhiley 15:19, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – That green grass in the foreground might be quite slippery, and anyone standing on it might end up in the river below. It is possible that there is no better, and safe, vantage point from which to take the photo. This image has the benefit of showing both the upper and lower sections of the falls. The upper section is unusual. CorinneSD (talk) 17:25, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- It might be yes, but with correct hiking footwear it would be fine... gazhiley 10:00, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Iceland is not like the rest of the world. I was hiking on Iceland, that's not regular terrain, that's just a lot of lavablocks thrown out on the site. Plus it is raining five days a week. Impossible to leave the regular path. Hafspajen (talk) 12:12, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Having been there myself I can tell you "impossible" is a strong word... With heavy duty hiking boots and spikes for tricky terrain, it is possible... gazhiley 13:33, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, almost inpossible, than. Nobody walks out in that terrain like the above depicted like you could do in other parts of the world, in those parts where it looks like in this picture. It's not flat. With the exception of the plains and where there is sediments most land looks like this and worse. File:Cordonblocs grindavik.JPG. These here are very very small boulders, looks very comfortable here, almost pebbles, compared how it looks in many places. Hafspajen (talk) 14:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose since the land blocks the base of the waterfall. Consequently, the photo loses some of its quality - DUCK404 a (talk) 05:01, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
