 Oppose Just 473 × 640 pixel are too small IMO (far below 0.5 Megapixel), it is true that there are no view from exactly this angle but some other angles with similar or better significance. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:44, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is perhaps a bit small, but I thought I'd outline my thinking. When it comes to resolution, the Valued Image criteria say "The image must look good on-screen at the review size (e.g. 480x360 pixels for a standard 4:3 landscape image)." This image is on the small side, but it's still useful. So compared to this image from a near identical angle it is smaller, but judged at the resolution in the criteria the 7 Megapixel image is more cluttered (there's a lamppost in the way and there are more cars). Likewise, other angles may not capture the full height of the building, for example here a building cuts off part of the bottom. With this image, you miss the base of the building, but you still get an idea of the size of it, while in the one I just linked to it's not clear as the ground could be sloping in between the camera and the building. If I was going to print of a picture, File:Beetham Tower, 2011 SW view.jpg might not be it, but to illustrate a webpage, I think it's big enough. Nev1 (talk) 17:41, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
