- Support Good EV, excellent perspective showing scale. --Tagooty (talk) 15:30, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Tight crop, too dark for encyclopaedic value. Misleading PoV for EV too. I prefer this picture for infobox. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:49, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

- That is from the back, mind. You'd have to actively walk away from most of the stuff on Calton Hill to see that side of it,whereas the proposed image is the front side that it was "intended" to be seen from. I'd say your proposal is the better photo, though it is the same rough angle as the view from Salisbury Crags, the next photo in the article after the infobox, which I'm guessing is the reason it doesn't appear Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 17:09, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment – Well, it is rather dark, and I'm not sure the presence of the "tourists" and their photographer is appropriate in terms of EV. – Sca (talk) 13:29, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

- Weak oppose While I'm fine with the angle, this monument moves in and out of shadow throughout the day, and this was arguably a bad time. One person would be useful to scale, I don't think we needed a massive unidentified group. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 00:16, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
