Agree. A gallery is not a requirement for now. IMO this vote in unvalid because based on a wrong reason. Please do not vote on purpose to "make a point".--Jebulon (talk) 10:28, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, the vote above does not concern the picture itself, but only the negative vote of ws. Both behaviours are dangerous for the project of VI, IMO. Please let's only judge the pictures according to the guidelines, and only to the guidelines. Here is not the place for changing them.--Jebulon (talk) 10:27, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
this candidate has a better solution. The leafy trees on the pictures of your propose hide parts of the structure of this building, re-question: what makes it better in your eyes? --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize if I misunderstand, because I'm new to VI, but my guess is that the burden is on the nominator to explain why the chosen image is best, rather than on other editors to show that a specific other image is better. With that said, I looked at the relevant images in the category and asked myself, "If I were to pick an image as the best, which would I pick?" I easily narrowed it to either the nominated image or the one I linked. The nominated image contains less obstructions, but I find the lighting harsh. The other image is certainly lower resolution, but it is still adequate for VI. It's then a question of trading off the harsh lighting of this for the minor obstructions of the other. I found it to be a toss-up (though if I were picking one to illustrate an article, I'd take the other, which is more aesthetically pleasing because of the greenery), which is why I asked someone to make the case for this image over the other. cmadler (talk) 19:00, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You find the light harsh, I find the light of File:Wasserturm Bruderholz.jpg sort of muddy and for sure it is overexposed (not so easy to correct) and aslope (easy to correct). And over all it has for me an inferior view of the structure. But feel free to oppose this candidate and nominate your favourite as new candidate. --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:45, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral As I've said, I see advantages to either picture. I find it to be a toss-up; if I needed to use one I'd probably choose the other photo, but that's based on my opinion of the aesthetics and not on the VI criteria (how "well" it illustrates the tower). cmadler (talk) 10:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
