• This particular version I don't think would stand a chance at FP, although a high-quality restoration of the original may. — raekyT 17:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

What about VP? Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 21:26, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

After seeing the original with all the room around it, i'd oppose it because it's too tightly cropped and doesn't follow any rules like lead room and rule of thirds. It has the EV part down though, pretty good EV for Cowboy and Western riding, the other articles I wouldn't focus on since it has very little EV in. — raekyT 21:29, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit 1 - I replaced the orginial with one with more space. It currently appears in Western riding and Cowboy.

• I added an Edit 1 with solves some issues with the prevoious one and I slashed out "western riding" and "cowboy" because that's where edit 1 appears in now. Secret Saturdays (talk to me) 21:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
  • The original doesn't follow the rules I listed, and the two articles you slashed out are the ones with the most EV in it.. the other edit isn't ideal either. — raekyT 21:45, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
