  • Comment I'm struggling to put into words what I learn from looking at the photograph in terms of EV. I get a much better sense of scale from File:Hurricane Isabel 18 sept 2003 1555Z.jpg for example, what other features does this photograph illustrate?

Second that. It is a nice picture, but I see no significant EV. --WingtipvorteX PTT 22:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The existing FP looks two-dimensional and shows the breadth of the hurricane. I think this new image complements the existing FP by giving the viewer an appreciation for the powerful atmospheric effects. --Pine 06:04, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I actually think this image has very good EV for showing the eye of a hurricane. I have therefore added it to the article Eye (cyclone). Rreagan007 (talk) 05:20, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
