Comment I was neutral on the Commons vote because I prefer this image. I may be biased. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:40, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Geoffroi, Charlesjsharp, and Bammesk: I've put that image up as an alternative. MER-C 19:46, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Charles' photo shows more detail in the shadows (more moderate lighting). Bammesk (talk) 03:00, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Supp. alt. 1 --LLcentury (talk) 22:44, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I am leaning to support. How about cropping the background a little? something similar to the right, perhaps? Bammesk (talk) 03:50, 29 June 2019 (UTC) . . . Support Alt 1, nice shot and more encyclopedic than the original. Bammesk (talk) 16:39, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crop of alt 1 is fine by me and better. New version uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:44, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
