Original – A view of the peak of
Mount Merapi in 2014, as seen from Umbulharjo; smoke can be seen coming from the crater (a minor eruption occurred less than a week after this image was taken).
Reason
High resolution, decent quality, useful image (lead in the article)
Support . An exotic landscape that shows an interesting feature. and more landscape nominations would be nice...Hafspajen (

Weak support - definitely valuable and quite a pretty scene, though I can't help but feel it's not quite as sharp and detailed as it could be. A couple minor distractions in the foreground include a metal stake and some kind of utility line. However, it's high-quality illustration of the volcano itself, and given the smoke it may even have some value as an illustration of volcanic eruptions in general. – Juliancolton |

Well, I guess Crisco can just cropp that off, if it is a problem. Probably it would benefit the composition too. The mountain will be more proeminent.

Right, I can crop if there is consensus for it. To get rid of the power line would be... perhaps 300 pixels. —

You have 5,080 × 3,387 pixels to crop from. Would't mind an ALT.

I prefer the original as well. The powerline isn't a huge issue. – Juliancolton |

Support Excellent encyclopedic value, reasonable clarity and good composition. I do however think the wire at the bottom can be cropped out.

Comment. Yes, if one put that crop exactly above the line, because the rest is needed.
File:Mount Merapi in 2014 (edit).jpg is too tight. We need the green leaves in the foreground as a contrast, as a frame.

I agree that the proposed crop is too tight. The bushes at the bottom add to the composion. A crop that just barely removes the wire should look better.
