Original – The dock at the tourist attraction Kampoeng Rawa, which connects to Lake Rawa Pening through a canal. This image is illustrative because it shows just how close Kampoeng Rawa is to the lake, which has been the source of controversy.
ALT – Panorama of the site itself, from the approaching road. Mounts Merbabu and Telomoyo are visible in the background.

Reason: Good resolution and attractive view of the dock and Lake Rawa Pening
Articles in which this image appears: Kampoeng Rawa; I might add this to Lake Rawa Pening too
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Places/Others, maybe?
Creator: Chris Woodrich

Comment I would be happy to support the splendid panorama you have on the page, but this doesn't seem to me to be especially encyclopaedic (what does it really add to our knowledge of Kampoeng Rawa?). Image not especially striking either for that matter, though of course technically it is very fine as all your images are. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the alt. Aside from illustrating the dock itself, the first image illustrates how close the attraction is to Lake Rawa Pening (although Google's overhead view showed me exactly how shockingly close), which has been a point of contention (see the last two paragraphs in the article). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:27, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Alt - splendid panorama. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 11:42, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Original – Although it might be the best possible photo on that location, the composition of Original doesn't work for me. I'm undecided about ALT. What exactly are we looking at here? – Editør (talk) 09:44, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Kampoeng Rawa site, which is spread out across multiple buildings in between rice fields and swamplands. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:53, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, I think the backdrop is beautiful. Secondly, are these, from left to right, the restaurant, crafts center, and pendopo? I couldn't figure out what the buildings on the right might be. Thirdly, wouldn't a photo such as [1] have much more encyclopedic value as an image of the kampung? – Editør (talk) 10:30, 9 July 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

That's the restaurant itself, viewed from much closer up. It's actually on the viewer's right side (you can see the front entrance from this angle). I'll label the buildings; I can tag them too if necessary. As for EV, I think a view of the site is better than just one or two buildings. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:55, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've added information to the description page, as well as some notations. I have an image of the restaurant I can upload locally as well, but I prefer the dock image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the extra information. I've added an image caption to the article and the image's encyclopedic value is much clearer now. But the image doesn't obviously pass or fail WP:FP? #3 for Kampoeng Rawa, so I've decided to abstain from voting on ALT. – Editør (talk) 11:54, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - You're really having fun with photomerging. (Unless you have a wide angle lens) ///EuroCarGT 19:47, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, no wide angle lens yet (the distortion would have given me away if I did). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:21, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support ALT- and I think that the garish colours to the right at original is the one that is causing the problems - the boat and the big sign - if one takes a paper and covers those, I think it is an excelent picture - otherwise. Hafspajen (talk) 20:45, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's kinda how they paint their boats, however... I think it has something to do with attracting tourists with bright, happy colors. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:27, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
