Palauenc05 (talk) 21:50, 1 October 2015 (UTC)  Comment - I actually find File:Warwick Castle 2015.jpg clearest in its depiction of the castle, and thus more useful, even if the sky is perhaps a bit too greenish in that picture. What do you think, and should we add that photo as a choice in this most valued review? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:58, 11 March 2017 (UTC) @Ikan Kekek: I've added it, although I thought it was a bit stark and has unnatural colour. I prefer File:Warwick Castle May 2016.jpg, and it is heavily used. DeFacto (talk). 09:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)  Oppose a bit washed out. Charles (talk) 13:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)  Support as best in scope for the castle itself. DeFacto, is the color fixable? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:59, 11 March 2017 (UTC) - Whoops, careless mistake on my part, sorry.  Oppose. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:03, 11 March 2017 (UTC) @Ikan Kekek: it's a smartphone image with no raw, and I don't really have the expertise to know how to fix the colours. DeFacto (talk). 19:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)  Oppose - It's well lit and composed well, however, not only is it the lowest resolution of the three nominated, but the sharpness of the image is definitely underwhelming.

Charles (talk) 13:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)  Oppose in favor of File:Warwick Castle 2015.jpg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikan Kekek (talk • contribs) 16:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC) @Ikan Kekek: this is File:Warwick Castle 2015.jpg, the one I added at your request. DeFacto (talk). 20:22, 11 March 2017 (UTC)  Support - Sorry, embarrassing mistake on my part. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)  Oppose - While it is of a high resolution, the sharpness of the image is rather underwhelming, much like Warwick Castle in the morning.jpg. Lighting and composition are inferior as well – the shadows are too dark and make up too much of the image to be visually efficient. This, combined with the fact that the castle itself is less prominent in the image that the other two nominated, a good amount of this image can be cropped.

It is the highest resolution of the three, with the best image quality and sharpness. The castle is framed better, making the best use of space in the image without overlapping or cropping out any important context, such as the river in the foreground. It is also well lit, with all aspects of the image clearly visible under the sunlight. This is the best in scope. -- Philip Terry Graham 12:49, 13 March 2017 (UTC) Scores: 1.

Pyrus pyrifolia (Asian Pear) Raja cultivar inflorescence

Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:27, 11 April 2014 (UTC)  Comment I've taken some new photos of this cultivar. This one here became VI 3 years ago and it's no longer the best photo of the Raja cultivar. It should be listed as "former VI" when the MVR I've started is over. All current photos in category Pyrus pyrifolia that are of the Raja cultivar are photos of the same tree and start with the name "Pyrus pyrifolia (Raja) ....".PumpkinSky talk 17:02, 12 March 2017 (UTC)  Oppose - Agreed.
