~~Support~~ This photo also received first place in WLM-AU 2019. --SHB2000 (talk) 12:26, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Struck in favour of W.carter's alternative. --SHB2000 (talk) 08:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Excellent composition, but there appears to be significant lens distortion on the outside. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492:

Fixed. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

per COM:OVERWRITE you can't overwrite files that have been awarded a special status like Quality Image or WLM. To propose this modification, you should upload the derivative work under a new name -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:47, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

COM:FLEXIBLE – it was only promoted to QI within the last 24 hours. It would have been no different if I had uploaded this when W.carter overwrote the file. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:41, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree about the QI status granted yesterday, but the original picture is labeled "WLM winner" since 2020 -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:55, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CA removal and minor lens distortion correction are within the minor adjustments that are allowed in overwriting. It is a great photo, and I would be a shame if it failed here due to some such minor technical problems. --Cart (talk) 09:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. Commons:Overwriting existing files#Exceptions to the minor changes rule: "Exceptions to the "minor changes should be uploaded to the same file" rule

Files that have been awarded a special status [...]". This is a case where minor change is not permitted. Subjectively you think these modifications are an improvement but some voters may find these changes awkward -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:45, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ on quality now. Some minor distortion, but it looks quite a bit better. Can't really speak to the question of COM:OVERWRITE, but if a separate version is uploaded and nominated, please tag me so that I can vote for that one. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:03, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support struck in favour of alt. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support struck in favour of the alternative. - ABAL1412 🇻🇳🇷🇺 (talk) 17:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I've looked at this a bunch of times, and the composition has never worked for me. The pitch black shadow in the lower left doesn't help; neither does the right crop. I just don't see what's amazing about the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:15, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
