• Oppose --- The only part that is relatively sharp is the very centre of the picture; the rest is very blurred, particularly towards the top, where there is also haze/blur and noise. The composition and content are not particularly striking. NotFromUtrecht ( talk) 12:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Well, the image was taken from a helicopter. Still the image has a good EV, and is a rare image of Kohala from above. IMO the image still nicely shows the hotels, the lava flows,the reefs, the palms, the village and even a golf course, in other words everything that Kohala is about. I added down-sampled edit, still fells into the size requirement-- Mbz1 ( talk) 13:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply

• Edit 2 Uploaded. Selective levels adjustment to reduce haze. -- Muhammad (talk) 16:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply
• Support, prefer edit2 Some minor motion blur but I can look past that for the amazing scene and the good EV. I have added Edit2 but if you want to remove it feel free -- Muhammad (talk) 16:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Thank you, Muhammad. Your version does look much better! I'll take QI template off and add your name as an editor of the image. -- Mbz1 ( talk) 17:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC) reply

• Weak support for edit 2. Strong EV outweighs the unsharpness IMO. It's an appealing image, but the composition isn't ideal, hence only weak support. I find myself wanting a wider view including more of the sea. (I've revised the caption.) -- Avenue ( talk) 13:48, 20 March 2010 (UTC) reply

• Good idea. These maps might help: [1], [2]. I will add some notes tomorrow, assuming no one beats me to it. -- Avenue ( talk) 01:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Notes for the main buildings and geographic features are done.-- Avenue ( talk) 13:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC) reply

• Support for edit2. IMO the view is very impressive, and combining with the articles linked from the description it is good enough. Broccoli ( talk) 22:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC) reply
