For some reason we had two articles on this; I did a simple hand-merge and redirected. --EvanProdromou (talk) 03:47, 21 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Banner 0 (current of Russell Falls in Mt Field National Park)
 
Banner 1 (proposed banner of The Sentinels in Southwest National Park)

As much as I love Russell Falls (to the point of having it on my phone's lock screen), we can't have that one waterfall as the banner and the lede image (which looks superior). --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 09:38, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Also, an example of how this banner would look can be seen on Special:PermaLink/4627977. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:18, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I prefer banner 1. It is a better view and also makes it clear that it is not one of several other Derwent Valleys. AlasdairW (talk) 23:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

The falls are prettier, though, and I don't like having the post in the foreground of the other banner. I'd suggest cropping it out. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:02, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough, though. In defence of banner 1, the crop of banner 0 is very off from reality, at least from memory (and I can't see the full image because Tiimta hasn't specified the source file on Commons). For a similar comparison, here's a photo I took, posterised for my lock screen. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:28, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
It looks like there was a lot of rain before the photo above. Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:24, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Not surprised since banner 0 was taken in October. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:50, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
