Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel

Original - The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, a triumphal arch in Paris. Completed in 1808, it is a notable example of the Empire style of design.

Reason

I think that it meets all the criteria. It's a large image without any technical problems that I can see, it's visually striking, and it's an important part of both of its articles.

I'm actually kind of surprised that one passed with its lean to the right. Doesn't anyone like verticals to be vertical when they are so easy to correct/get right in the first place. Mfield (talk) 20:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose The tilt is a bit obvious. If it were straightened, I might reconsider - though unlikely to change my vote. crassic!^[talk] 05:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
