- Reason
- Looks like the previous image was delisted and currently we don't have an FP for this. This one is the current lead image, showing the recent condition of the wall as of 2013. Also, the greenery typical to wuxia films is there. Despite some noise at remote distances looks fairly good.

- Oppose. Although the Great Wall of China certainly deserves a featured picture, I can hardly believe this is the best and most encyclopedic picture available to Wikipedia, considering thousands of tourists photograph it every day. While it has plenty of aesthetic appeal, my main concern is that the colours seem to be far from accurate: the saturation appears to have been artificially increased to the point that the distant mountains are a fluorescent blue (compare with the more natural pale bluish grey of the faraway mountains in File:A_long_stretch_of_the_Great_Wall.jpg and in File:GreatWall_2004_Summer_1.jpg and in File:GreatWall6.jpg). There also seems to be some vignetting. dllu (t,c) 06:23, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
