Reason: The image was promoted in 2004 (currently listed under 'Places: Landscapes') and the featured picture criteria have changed since then. Specifically, the image does not meet criteria 1 and 3. The image is grainy and seems to have JPEG artifacts (near the boundary between the sky and the mountainside). In addition, the lighting is such that the bottom half of the image is overly dark and, thus, large areas of the mountains contain virtually no visible detail. The image is informative and encyclopedic, but I do not think it continues to be "among Wikipedia's best work"; we do, by the way, have at least two other featured pictures (see here) which show eruption columns.
Articles this image appears in: Indonesia, List of volcanoes in Indonesia, Semeru, Snowball Earth, West African craton

Delist. Low quality and small file size. Unclear EV. J Milburn (talk) 17:51, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. It was fine that it was an FP once, but standards have gone up. FS will go through the same thing eventually. I think it is good actually. If we had started with the too high standard would have never gotten here. But now that we are, may as well delist. That and I can't see much of the plume and the other mountains in pic identification is unclear.TCO (reviews needed) 17:55, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
