OriginalAmerican Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, USA, home of the NBA basketball team the Miami Heat
Reason
Yeah, so I know these images get a bit of a hard time here, but I think this one is pretty well done. No mean feat to get both the jumping basketballer on the big screen on the front windows of the arena (I consider it the highest EV, most aesthetic, and least advertising of the scrolling displays they had) and a break in the traffic on the busy Biscayne Boulevard in front of the building. Otherwise high quality, good light, etc, good time of year with the attractive floral displays. Good EV, has been lead image in the main article for the best part of a year and also widely used in a number of other significant articles and on other wikis.
