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. – Sca ( talk) 21:51, 30 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment – I think the panorama is more encyclopedic. Bammesk ( talk) 01:58, 31 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • 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. Mikael Häggström ( talk) 13:39, 31 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • 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. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:07, 3 August 2019 (UTC) reply
