Original – A crowd of thousands watch as the grand finals of The International 2012 at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington.

Reason: This is an interesting image that gives a unique perspective of the scope and culture of the subject matter (electronic sports), by showing the grandiose scale, as well as audience members and teams near and far, in relation to the camera. In addition, it is of satisfactory quality, contrast and scope.

Oppose. The image quality is very much below the bar for FP purposes. J Milburn (talk) 22:57, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Far beneath the expected quality in terms of noise. Looks like oversharpening as well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:19, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
