Ewiniar's peak image

I want to address this issue, the image has been changed three times during the storm's dissipation. While this is not a major edit conflict, we need to reach a consensus on which image to use. Honestly in my opinion I would go with either Image 1 or Image 2. My reason for selecting Image 1 is based on it being taken at the typhoon's peak intensity, according to the JMA. Additionally, its structure appears superior to that of Image 3 which in that image it looks that the storm was undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle of some sort, this image is currently being used on the main article/2024 Pacific typhoon season pages. For Image 2, I believe its structure surpasses both Image 1 and Image 3. Although it is slightly before its peak intensity, we can still use images that are close to peak intensity, particularly when the storm's structure is significantly better, which in this case is justified.

@HurricaneEdgar, @MarioProtIV, and @Typhoon2013 reaching out for your thoughts. TheWxResearcher (talk) 03:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@TheWxResearcher: Thanks for reaching out for this issue, and this hasn't been the first time I have encountered an image situation. I am aware that it is usually that we go through the image closest to the peak strength of the storm, and for this case, both the JTWC and JMA as of now has its peak on separate dates (Image 1 and 3). Moreover I think there has been a discussion before, I believe with Hurricane Delta, where we have used an image that is showing the structure of the storm more other than its peak? I lean towards Image 2 or 3 for my answer for this, and possibly adding an option of "Ewiniar 2024-05-26 1740Z.jpg" image as it shows a more clearer eye for its structure. However I am open to whatever image is being majorly voted within this discussion :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Image 2 is better, and we should use that one because the eye is seen to be clear. In Image 3, it was slightly weakening as a result of moderate wind shear, although it was a typhoon. Wikipedia does not know if the storm peaked or not, just like in the Hurricane Delta. HurricaneEdgar 09:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
