•  Support -- High-quality photograph (5,568 × 3,712 pixels) of storm surge from Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall in the U.S. hours ago. WeatherWriter (talk) 17:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
• Comment as photographer/uploader, I uploaded several more images from Idalia, including a few more from this area and different angles see Category:Hurricane Idalia. I have dozens from this area, but the one uploaded are my best with quick editing. I rushed to edit/upload my best Idalia photos before sleep and work, so I may not reply for several hours after this comment. AHeneen (talk) 17:12, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Interesting moment and wow factor but, IMHO, the moment deserved better --Wilfredor (talk) 21:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose The view doesn't quite good. I'm sorry. - ABAL1412^{🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺} (talk ☭) 09:25, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too dull, but it might as well be the intent of the scene. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:43, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
• Thank you for uploading these images, AHeneen! Very useful and important documentation. What you're seeing above is that FPC just might not be the right venue for recognition. The conditions necessary for these images (cloudy, difficult to access, etc.) make it very difficult to satisfy the technical photography requirements most people expect for Featured Picture. I do think there's a COM:VI candidate among your uploads, though. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  12:25, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

  Well, it is definitely possible to take FPs in bad weather. Examples for inspiration: File:Falling rain in mexico.jpg, File:Evolution of a Tornado.jpg, File:Riiulpilv - Shelf cloud (2) copy.jpg. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
