Comment: Nice quality, but I'm not sure if I like the cathedral being off-centre. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:38, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice dynamic composition showing the cathedral in its current urban context. --Elekhh (talk) 01:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question Why'd you choose to nominate this one over File:Moscow July 2011-7a.jpg? JJ Harrison (talk) 07:35, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Answer - Because I like the composition more and it puts the subject in context, as Elekhh said. Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
'Comment' I'd support the file specified by User:JJ Harrison. Way higher EV. This image is a pretty one and might definitely win a competition, but in terms of EV, I think it looses out a little. Hariya1234 (talk) 07:48, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on your interest. If one's only interested in the design of the main façade, than indeed the other one is better. If interested in how the building sits in its urban setting than this one has clearly higher EV. --Elekhh (talk) 08:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'd go for the one indicated by JJ. The image is used in the article regarding the church, so a view of the church should be paramount. A good view of the facade with a wider field of view would be even better, but don't think we have one. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support ALT1. High EV, high quality. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:28, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'll Support Alt1 because I happen to agree with User:JJ Harrison. Pteronura brasiliensis (talk) 13:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support both versions. Pine^talk 08:07, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support either Alt is probably slightly underexposed. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support alt only the first shows the bridge, and doesn't expand the EV further. I remember to nominate File:Moscow - Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.jpg before, but it failed. I agree that this is much better, but it is a little bit too dark; for example I can badly see the images on the round archs, as there is shadow on the top of them. Even the lightning on the first image is better. Also I think it is a little bit crooked, but I am not sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreatOrangePumpkin (talk • contribs) 13 September 2011
Support Either, but I prefer the original. The alt leads me to think that the bridge is a road, which is quite misleading pictorially. Just MHO. SMasters (talk) 08:32, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support alt only -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 20:10, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
