I honestly believe that my image is better: File:WesternWall.JPG --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 18:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree, the foreground is too prominent and the surroundings are not shown as well (especially if the dome is considered desirable). --Eusebius (talk) 21:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Dome shouldn't be desirable. The Western wall is a holy Jewish site, and the dome is Muslim. --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 19:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have no strong opinion about whether the dome should be here or not, but I'm pretty sure that's a rather weak argument. The fact that the wall is in the vicinity of another major landmark is linked to the scope, and if a single picture can show it while remaining reasonably focused on the wall, I don't see why we should avoid that. It somehow anchors the scope in Jerusalem. --Eusebius (talk) 19:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment So what do you think of this one ? Sheepdog85 (talk)
  •   Support I like it as it is now, but the first version could be kept, maybe you could upload it under a new filename. --Eusebius (talk) 12:52, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support Not an easy review as there are several good candidates, but I think this the best. I like that it does not only show the wall in isolation but also some of the surroundings, as the cultural interplay and proximity, also with Muslim landmarks is pretty crucial in understanding what a special place this really is. --Slaunger (talk) 21:57, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support I support this second version, more focused on the wall but still including its "context". --Myrabella (talk) 09:09, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
