You are right. I uploaded the image on a computer with an obviousely to bright monitor. When I looked at it on other boxes I know what you mean and adjusted brightness now a bit. (I do not expect different votes now, but enhancing the image is always important not only for featured image candidates.) Andreas Tille 06:29, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't like the dark corners on the photo and I think the volcano is too far away. --Malene Thyssen 22:43, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

•  Neutral Hi Andreas, you caught a nice impression on this, but impressions are not quite what I like in a encyclopedia. There is lots of vignetting (dark areas in the corners) too. It seems that your lens is not worth a lot. --Ikiwaner 14:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

You are perfectly all right that I used a bad lense. It was my first SLR with a cheap consumer lens. I upgraded this stuff over the years. And yes, the critics did some education that personal impressions have a big influence. I have no problem in learning this (and I continue to like this image anyway ;-)) ).
