Reason: This picture does indeed have a mystic quality to it (as was argued in the nomination in 2005), but so does any other photo taken in this spot and they are quite literally a dime a dozen ([1] (filtered by license: CC-BY (ND/SA))), and this one doesn't stand out in any way. Personally, I think the harshness of the light subtracts from the image. Here are some photos I think look better than this one, and they are all available under free licenses: [2] [3] [4][5]

Sadly, all the ones you link to have their issues that prevent this from being a delist and replace nomination. The first has poor DOF and looks like the photographer's hand was shaking during the long exposure. The second is undersized (but possibly better for the article, considering the decent lighting and visible writing). The third has very harsh lighting, and we can't use the fourth (even though it's probably the best of them technically) because it has a no-derivatives license. This looks like a place where HDR would be very useful, TBH. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:12, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. I'd love to see the second one used in the article and I'd be happy to delist and replace if we could secure a high resolution version. But it's just too small at the moment. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:16, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
