Support Alt 1 – Much better contrast, texture and mood. Could be cropped in a bit, as it's a large file. – Sca (talk) 14:50, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~In Alternative 1 the building is tilted counterclockwise (it shows at full screen or larger), the cross on top is vertical though.~~ Support Original though perhaps slightly overexposed. Bammesk (talk) 20:10, 7 September 2019 (UTC) . . . I did more checking, the columns and architecture may have some built in taper, but many vertical lines look good. Support Alt 1 as well.

Support Alt1. Better composition, better context, better contrast, and I don't really care for the combination of warm light and snow in the original. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:34, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
