Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel edit

Original - The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, a triumphal arch in Paris. Completed in 1808, it is a notable example of the Empire style of design.

Reason: I think that it meets all the criteria. It's a large image without any technical problems that I can see, it's visually striking, and it's an important part of both of its articles.

Oppose. I'd be looking for something of this standard. Pstuart84 Talk 19:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually kind of surprised that one passed with its lean to the right. Doesn't anyone like verticals to be vertical when they are so easy to correct/get right in the first place. Mfield (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The tilt is a bit obvious. If it were straightened, I might reconsider - though unlikely to change my vote. crassic!^[talk] 05:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
