Original - Ellicott Square Building after a fresh snowfall with One HSBC Center and HSBC Arena in the background
Reason
This is a high EV image. After viewing File:Le chateau de Vaux le Vicomte.jpg, I realized that you don't have to have a blue sky for a VP. I would do a perspective correction, but fear I would lose the sculpture on the far right.

Very good picture of him. It has EV.
Articles this image appears in

Creator
Joi Ito, But I think we should tell Jimbo Wales if it pass beacuse he is in the picture.
I know we have a featured picture of him but for example we have a FP of Obama but we have alot of VP of him anyway. Spongie555 (talk) 03:07, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The whole point of valued pictures is that the pictures are valuable. Why's this one valuable? Where's the EV? J Milburn (talk) 12:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is valuable beacuse it is a good quality image of him. VP is less harsh about the EV then FP is. Spongie555 (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Which demonstrates in one how this project has failed. The whole point of VP was to award high value images which were not of the quality needed for FP. J Milburn (talk) 01:40, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I guess the argument here is that it presents the subject with a more natural facial expression, unlike the somewhat crisp FP (which has more info about the details of the skin and hair), hence its use in the article as well. However I am not convinced of it being among Wikipedia's most educational work. "It has EV" is clearly not sufficient. --Elekhh (talk) 03:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Original - Staged photograph of England and Australian Test all-rounder Sammy Woods. This image was published as part of the 'Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds' collection in 1895 by Hudson and Kearns.
Reason
This staged image of Sammy Woods was among the iconic images of the time, and has been used as the lead image on Sammy Woods since March 2010. In a time when photos of the players in action were rare, if not completely non-existant, these staged images were all that the public had to recognise cricketers by.

The image could be much more educational if it would reveal the building volume, context or architectural detail, ideally several of these qualities combined in one image. --Elekhh (talk) 03:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support But it's not distracting the main focus. --Extra 999 (Contact me + contribs) 02:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
