Review (criteria)	Comment I think the image is of much higher quality than Image:MITSteeple.jpg, although the latter shows another kind of obstacle present in steeplechase (the river). --Eusebius (talk) 16:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)  Oppose Yes, this image has a better photographic quality, but it is not as good for illustrating the scope as Image:MITSteeple.jpg for two reasons The water jump shown on the alternative is what really identifies the steeplechase as compared to Hurdling. Yes, the hurdles are very different, but for the observer who is new to athletics, the water jump is really better. Although the background has more distracting elements in the alternative it shown the runners from the front, which I prefer, as you see the expressions in the faces. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC) Result: 0 support, 1 oppose => declined. -- Eusebius (talk) 21:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
