  • Support as nominator --Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:38, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The image is striking.
  • Support per above. I support both edits, they are both good to me. Tomer T (talk) 22:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - something wrong with the angle - seems distorted. MathewTownsend (talk) 02:06, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps I looked at the image for too long but I don't see it. This image seems to have been taken from a hundred feet up or so, methinks. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps Mathew means the distortion which was mentioned in this review.   ■ MMXX  talk  16:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Perhaps. I know jack-all about fixing lens distortion. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:29, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • C & C edit still has some distortion, the tower in right has clockwise tilt, I tried to fix this in the other version, but now I feel in my edit towers are slightly leaned to the center.   ■ MMXX  talk  20:48, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Love this image, it was my desktop for a while. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:32, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support edit JJ Harrison (talk) 12:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • C&C or Mmxx? They are both edits (I'm assuming you mean Mmxx, but it never hurts to ask) Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:46, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which one? Makeemlighter (talk) 03:06, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Although, naturally, I would like my own (collaboration) to be promoted... Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:46, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • C&C is my preference because I like the "colours" better. Why are we distorting a historical image anyway? Touch up is fine, but correcting lens distortion seems out of place. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:05, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I prefer Mmxx's. Tomer T (talk) 08:52, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I vote for C&C's because his looks less blown out.
^That was Enthdegree. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, that put us right back where we started. Perhaps a differently phrased questions: is any opposed to / would anyone oppose either edit (this question extends to JJ, who only specified the Mmxx edit) Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:26, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • So that the vote can be closed, I'll say I prefer C&C's. Tomer T (talk) 16:31, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
