  • I didn't vote on any of those. For the first two, their more lively lighting was almost certainly a factor. The second also had the subject in direct sunlight and higher contrast. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it matters that two small corners -- assuming that's all they are -- are not visible. Apart from overhead aerial shots, it is rare to get every single square yard of an irregularly shaped lake into shot. Usually there will be some part tucked around a corner that you can't exactly see. Unless there is something important or unexpected or dramatically different going on in the missing corners, I really don't see it as a big deal. 109.152.146.252 (talk) 14:14, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
