• Oppose Previous version had much better lighting and more pleasing sky. The doubled face really didn't bother me. Call it your signature... ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 23:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
  • OK, let's add the former picture as an alternative. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
• Weak Support. Yeah, I agree that the previous one has better lighting, but I prefer the composition of this one with a bit more space at the bottom. I don't think that lighting makes or breaks the EV of the building though, so I'll support this one. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
• Support original much better composition. I think I see a slight perspective distortion. --Muhammad(talk) 16:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
• Support original --Richard Bartz (talk) 23:50, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
• Support original Alternate has the previously discussed stitching problems. I prefer the width of the alt, but the foreground in the new version helps too. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
• Support original. Original has added EV as it allows us to see the base surrounded by sand. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
• Support Original Much better colouring... Good re-touch... Gazhiley (talk) 11:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
• Weak oppose original, weak support alternative I'd have to go with the better colors on this one. The perspective in the "original" seems just a bit too slanted. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:46, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
• Support original The coloring is much better in general, although the sky looks nicer in the bottom image. hmwithτ 13:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
