Support both but prefer crop. Seems a bit lost in the original (mostly due to large amount of space dedicated to sky and grass), but would be happy with either one. Nice pic! Mattximus (talk) 01:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support original - I believe this is an excellent photograph, and I strongly prefer the original over the cropped version. I believe the original benefits from the additional context; I think that the original gives us a better idea of how the house fits in with the grounds, yet the house is still prominent and dominant in the frame. I like the framing of the original better, with the two tallest trees on either side (the crop has weaker framing on the left). My eyes are drawn to the clean expanses of sky and grass that exist in the original but are truncated in the crop. I like how, in the original, you get a more complete view of the cloud formation above the house, almost forming a halo above. I feel like the additional context amplifies this building's majesty. To me, the building seems more profound and more important in the original, perhaps because there is more extra space around it, space that seems to serve the building. The extra degrees of perspective also helps remind me where Monticello is in the world and gives me that much more confidence that there are no skyscrapers lurking in the background to challenge the space.

Support original and Oppose edit, per Tokugawapants. The spatial context is important here, so the original showing more of the grounds has higher EV. --ELEKHHT23:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
