Support (and response to HFan) - I've nominated this picture before and my stance on it meeting FP criteria stands. In response to HurricaneFan's reasoning for opposing, the suggestion to crop a part of the image out would actually hurt the image in my opinion. By having a defined peninsula next to it, there is a distinct reference to land and improves the visual appeal. As for the storm being elongated, that's entirely bogus to be honest. The core of the storm is almost perfectly symmetrical. What's being mistaken as the storm being elongated is the southern feeder band which is fairly large in comparison to the storm itself but in no way makes the storm elongated.
