  • Oppose Neutral It failed on mostly EV grounds because at this angle it appears to be the same height as the building next too it, and there is a CLEAR difference in their heights. — raeky (talk | edits) 05:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'll change to neutral for the article Willis Tower, but I still have my reservations about the angle and visual effect of the building's heights. — raekyT 22:27, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Raeky actually makes some good points, but these images are good, they deserve some kind of acknowledgement. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 05:14, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support original I think it has good EV in showing the tower in its urban context, seen from the river, and a good educational value due to the real perspective effect which allows a better understanding of its (absolute) height than the perspective corrected version. However I think placing it twice in the article is overdone.... --Elekhh (talk) 22:32, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
