Victory Monument

 * Reason:This has been the main image for a fairly high traffic WP:FA (South Side (Chicago)) that has vast image alternatives since 2007. It is also the main image for the Chicago Landmark and National Register of Historic Places-listed Victory Monument since 2007.  It has been included in both List of Chicago Landmarks, National Register of Historic Places listings in Chicago and the Portal:Chicago selected article rotation for a long time. In addition, I have recently added the image to Douglas, Chicago and Fountain of the Great Lakes.  I personally like seeing the beautiful blue sky in the backgroud of this image whenever I visit the  articles where it is the main image.

 * Comment I have made my first attempt at perspective correction.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:38, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI, I attempted to make both sides of the column vertical. I think they were about 88.5 and 89 degrees before instead of 90.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently, my attempt was no good and "uploaded a new version over the top, did perspective correction as I saw it, fixed the barrel distortion, levels, sharpening and crop (off centre composition was awkward)".

 * I didn't say it was no good, but I thought a better job could be done is all. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:18, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
