Big Ben Clock Tower

 * Reason:In the recent nomination Featured picture candidates/Big Ben on blue sky a reprocessed version of the current FP was introduced fairly late in the discussion. Once the new version was introduced there seemed to be a fairly strong consensus, including from the photographer, to replace the current version with the update, however the original was kept. I'm thus proposing a Delist of the current FP to be Replaced with the reprocessed version. Note this is not a discussion to delist the current FP, only to change the version that is featured.

 * Delist and replace. Note, this is not just a delist nom. &mdash; jjron (talk) 14:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * delist and replace, per nom Clegs (talk) 21:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep original. I like the darker sky much more, and especially near the top the original seems a bit sharper. Also if the sky actually was dark blue, no reason to change it just for aesthetics D\=&lt; (talk) 03:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Waiting for Diliff to drop by, but he says on the previous nom linked above where he offered this version "...I think the sky was actually not quite as dull in the original as it seems (poor processing in the first place on my part, I think)...". He also says here "...it is my preference to replace the old version as I think it is a bit dull and not as representative of the conditions that day.". --jjron (talk) 03:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep original Per above. The darker sky looks much better. —αἰτίας •'discussion'• 04:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep original. The darker sky looks fine. Kaldari (talk) 17:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delist/replace If you carefully read the above comments and the details of the original nom, the reprocessed version is more accurate and truthful. Like the red newt nom from a while back, the fact that the dark sky color is more appealing is immaterial, given that it is false and a result of processing/manipulation. --Malachirality (talk) 19:29, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * When you view the whole thing in the thumbnail, it's kind of washed out.. the bright stone of the tower really contrasts sharply against the dark sky. The lighter sky sort of blends into it D\=&lt; (talk) 03:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * delist and replace the reprocessed version looks much more natural to me Mfield (talk) 13:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delist and replace per earlier discussion. --Janke | Talk 06:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep original - I like the darker sky. It makes the golden colour of the tower stand out better. TheOtherSiguy (talk) 00:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep edit The dark background takes away from the overall quality, imo.  crassic ![ talk ] 22:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
