Oppose Would love to support, but unfortunately too small and blurry. Renata3 (talk) 07:43, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support quality not too high, but very unique and high educational value. Tomer T (talk) 07:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice idea, need a better camera. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Big WOW. --MZaplotnik^(talk) 08:33, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others. --Peulle (talk) 08:54, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Fresh idea. I may support, if the original resolution with more level of details was uploaded. --A.Savin 13:57, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Of course more resolution would be nice, but this is one of those photos where its striking originality outweighs concerns over technical quality. Cmao20 (talk) 14:56, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral This is a brilliant shot but unfortunately resolution is too low. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Renata3, Charlesjsharp, Peulle, A.Savin, and King of Hearts: The photographer returned yesterday with a better camera, but unfortunately by then the circles had faded a bit and there weren't as many people out in the park using them. I think I still prefer the original photo for more variety compared to the later photo. It's possible that the crowds will come back out another weekend, but I'm not sure if the photographer will keep returning to this spot. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 18:01, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The original does look better at thumbnail size, but I would certainly vote for the picture on the right if the original never existed. So that makes it more suitable to become Commons FP. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:08, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've linked the two photos together so readers can discover them both. Should I open a new nomination for the higher-resolution photo or just swap it in? (Or would it be a stretch to nominate a set of just two photos?) – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 18:26, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They obviously returned with the same drone/camera. --A.Savin 19:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mxn: Perhaps we could ask the Flickr user whether they have a higher-resolution version of the first image and would be willing to share it? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:30, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@King of Hearts: It's like they read our minds. :^) – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 18:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others. --Fischer.H (talk) 09:42, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In The Times of London today. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Memorial Day
Comment Christopher Michel came back on Memorial Day for a higher-resolution shot with more people, so I've opened a new nomination for that image specifically: Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Memorial Day 2020 - San Francisco Under Quarantine (49935629483).jpg. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 18:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You shouldn't have the two running nominations (by the way I find self-indulgent complicated user names annoying - they are difficult to copy - not just yours of courseǃ) User:Mxn Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:34, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Charlesjsharp: Thanks for the suggestion! This is my first nomination ever, so I wasn't aware of the process for withdrawing a nomination. I've done that below. As for (presumably) my signature, there's a number of reasons why changing my user name to my real name is impractical at this point, but I do prefer to sign my real name as a gesture of accountability. (I only use CSS small-caps to clarify which is the family name, because Vietnamese names normally put the family name first, whereas I'm following the Western convention on wikis where I normally use English.) Thank you for being patient with me. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 18:40, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
