Original – A high-pressure system off the coast of Tasmania, evidenced by the clear sky surrounded by clouds
Reason
High-quality image, in high resolution. This picture is unique in sense that is extremely rare to find anticyclones so well defined as this one. This is, by far, the most visible high in wikipedia, and so, the best example of one.

  • Comment There appears to be two versions of this image in the file history, with someone uploaded a completely different image over someone else's. So I'm not sure what the protocol is in this case, but the two should probably be separated, and both the old and newly created file names should be much more descriptive than "high pressure". – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 23:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've seen other contributors do that. It comes from article creators just interested in their article. Agree on split.TCO (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Both are images of the same anticyclone. It's just that the second one is more defined and more centered in the phenomena than the original one. ABC paulista (talk) 17:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. I wonder if some other graphic (a diagram, photo over land to show scale) might be more illustrative. You definitely see the cloud break though.TCO (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I think this image is perfect for illustrating the weather phenomenon; I'd also prefer it to a diagram. I agree that an indication of scale (even on the image description) would be useful. Cowtowner (talk) 16:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Seems pretty useful. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:26, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
