- Weak oppose – This pic was recently subbed for this one. Personally, I find the previous photo sharper and more visually interesting, due in part to contrast from shadowing. (Though I realize the nominated pic shows more of the ruins.) Sca (talk) 21:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- According to FPC#5, "A picture's encyclopedic value (referred to as 'EV') is given priority over its artistic value". My picture has significantly more EV than the previous one, which showed only a small portion of this massive complex. RO(talk) 16:53, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Arguably, yes. Others may have opinions different from mine. Sca (talk) 21:57, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - Useful, but it only shows parts of the ruins, and the lens distortion around the edges (particularly that right edge) is horrendous. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:51, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Useful, but it only shows parts of the ruins; the only way to show the entire ruin is from the air, such as with this image I uploaded in May: File:Aztec West.png RO(talk) 22:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose per Chris Woodrich - the blur/softness at the edges is a big issue. Only the very centre of the picture seems to have clarity... gazhiley 10:47, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment You guys were right about the blurriness, so I cropped out the edges. Does it look better now? RO(talk) 22:46, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Not for me sorry - the whole picture is blurred, other than a very small part in the centre... Cropping the edges doesn't change that... gazhiley 14:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
- No worries. Maybe Santa will be generous enough to leave me a medium format camera with lenses this year. RO(talk) 16:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
- It's probably just the light but it looks washed-out to me. I prefer the panorama shot in the article (also yours) though being a lazy cow I've only had a quick look at it. Belle (talk) 00:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
