Hurricane Felix from the International Space Station

Hurricane Felix as seen from aboard the International Space Station

An excellent image that was taken from aboard the ISS. It is a large, good quality image that is very relevant to the article that it is linked to. I feel this image has an excellent chance at becoming a featured picture but i as i am relatively new to this process i wanted to get opinions from this peer review before putting this to FPC

• A great Picture, both with picture quality and content. Rarly do you get such an unusual image with such good quality. Juliancolton (talk) 01:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Umm, aren't , and to an extent even somewhat similar? I actually thought there were more - I know there's been quite a number similar to this nominated and fail. --jjron (talk) 06:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
    • I suppose you have a point. What appeals to me about this is the textures in the clouds and the curvature of the earth. Durova^Charge! 06:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
      • The reason why i choose this picture for peer review and eventually FPC is that i felt that this picture was in a class of its own compared to other pictures taken from space. The first reason was that this is taken from the ISS, now although there are many pictures that have been taken from there few have such excellent panoroma and be able to maintain good subject content or that the photo often is just white cloud with no contrast. This i feel gives excellent contrast between earth, atmosphere and space with a good balance between cloud and sea/land. Seddon69 (talk) 12:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
