Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is centered on a colossal sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills near Keystone, South Dakota. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture's design and oversaw the project's execution from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. The sculpture features the 60-foot-tall (18 m) heads of four United States Presidents recommended by Borglum: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), chosen to represent the nation's birth, growth, development and preservation, respectively.

Removed Deep Impact for severe image abuse, and re-added Battle of Klushino, which looked like the highest-quality article in the eligible slots (article quality should be the barometer here, not how often they appeared 365 days ago; readers won't remember them).

That one has the GA mark on it, so quality (as advertised) was indeed taken into account in that case. howcheng {chat} 05:40, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, it's an ancient GA in Wikipedia terms, but a GA nonetheless. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:54, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
One other note: if you swap out the blurb that goes with the image, don't forget to change the image as well. howcheng {chat} 06:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
