Move Lookout closer, then align Split Rock
The first new picture centered a tower that was too distant.
Working now
Ignore the old 92.8. It scored computer checks on older pictures. It did not answer the only question that matters: “Does this look like the sketch, and does it look real?”

Five Landmarks, No Ambiguity
Passing means position, scale, and orientation line up decently with the reference sketch AND a roast-style review finds no common-sense visual or physical errors — floating supports, missing ground contact, wrong scale against the six-foot hiker. Naming the landmark without coaching is table stakes, not the bar. All cards reset to failing under this bar on Jul 29.
