Original – A close-up of the wall of the Chuquicamata copper mine in Chile
Reason
I couldn't tell it from a hole in the ground. Nice detail, FP on Commons. (
There is a panorama of the mine, also a FP on Commons, but it is cut off on the left hand side. Please say if you want it considered.)

Comment – Monochromatic tableau lacking a central focus. –

Comment – I think the panorama is more encyclopedic.

Oppose - Confusing perspective, especially when comparing to the panorama. As you said, you couldn't tell it from a hole in the ground. I'd say it looks rather dull.

Comment. This could look good printed very large, in the vein of
Edward Burtynsky. That way you could see the vehicles more clearly and get a better sense of scale. But I think that cropping out all the context makes it less encyclopedic, and that it doesn't work as well at the small image sizes typical of an encyclopedia article. —
