Review (criteria)	Support--Jacek Halicki (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2015 (UTC)  Oppose This image (whch is already a featured image has virtually the same scope, is a much better image and also has a much better description. Martinvl (talk) 10:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC) @Martinvl: that image is cropped too high so doesn't show the full tower height. DeFacto (talk). 10:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC) @Martinvl: It's a close call. The featured image has better resolution, but this one has better composition and color. WikiPedant (talk) 17:53, 14 December 2015 (UTC) @WikiPedant: Is it worth organising a MVR run-off? @Martinvl: After rereading the VI criteria and the QI criteria, it's pretty clear that very high resolution is a more important criterion for a quality image than for a valued image. The VI criteria specify only "reasonable sharpness". I think this image is the most telling illustration within the scope of the subject (and I even looked though all 566 Commons external views of the Tower), so I'm going to support it. -- WikiPedant (talk) 23:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)  Support--WikiPedant (talk) 23:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)  Support At full resolution it looks horribly over-sharpened, but that's not really of concern here. At the default review size it illustrates the subject better, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 16:23, 17 December 2015 (UTC)  Oppose per Martinvl. ~ Moheen (talk) 05:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC) Result: 3 support, 2 oppose => promoted.
