2024 x 1704, 353kb

They have the same pixiv link as source, and I see no difference within the pictures themselves
So which one gets priority? Or is this a case where both are allowed?

while the x1704 one is indeed higher resolution the x1011 ver, the x1704 is also lousy with jpeg compression artifacts and haloing in a way that the x1011 isn't (despite them both being jpegs, it seems one of them used a less agressive compression level)

typically here we prefer a lower res image with no artifacting over a higher res image with artifacting, and although they probably both have artifacts in them to some degree, i'd say the lower resolution one should be the one that stays

The bigger one with the lousy compression is also the one that is available at source, so since the artist posted that way, the bigger one would take priority since the smaller one could count as "third party edit" or "unnoficial" in my opinion.
