- Reason
- Very high EV (the plaza was unfortunately destroyed during the events of September 11, 2001) and I can't find another free, high-quality aerial shot of it like this. Also showcases several of its famous sculptures, including The Sphere and Ideogram.

- Comment - Window sill at the bottom might be worth cropping out. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:58, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn’t see that. Do I just upload a cropped version and label it as ALT1? I’m kinda new to the whole FPC process. :) SirMemeGod 12:01, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at commons:Commons:Overwriting existing files, as this qualifies as a historical image, it would probably be best to upload separately. The Crop Tool on Commons is fairly smart and can do that, and I believe it uploads with the least possible compression (thereby not degrading the image too much). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492 I undid your crop and redid it using the Crop Tool's lossless move. Using "precise" mode will recompress the image using the same compression level as the original image, which means it can cause significant further degradation. Lossless mode doesn't recompress the image at all, but the top and left have to be cropped by a multiple of 16 pixels (which isn't a problem in this case because 0 is a multiple of 16). --Ahecht (TALK

- Support ALT1 - I've made a crop and uploaded it. I think it's better without the sill. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:17, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
