Wikimedia have opened voting until the end of May. What are your opinions on those that made it through to this round? Obviously some aren't photos but the majority are and I like some of them, even if there's some trash in there.
Pic related is last years winner.
You can see them all and vote:

the only one of note is the rockets
or pluto
the rest is trash
>>2842685
Yeah there is a fair amount of trash. The pluto one is good. The Singapore Flower-Dome one is pretty cool but only really because of the building, the photo is meh.
