Image replaced, and if there was any discussion, it's not readily findable. Not a terrible image, but it's not like anime images are horribly underrepresented, to put it mildly.

The original one is excellent. Any of the Alice ones would be good, as well, although I think the third one may be too tall to work well on the page, since it would extend well down into the examples section. The new one doesn't show the trope well at all — there's really nothing to indicate that she's falling.

It's helpful to show both images (or at least the original) in the OP. I like the old one better. The replacement doesn't even have a caption that's the right size.

[up]Sorry, I should have done that (haven't posted anything on the forums in a while, my etiquette is rusty.)

The "Sonic X" image is also worse, IMO, because it's actually a plant creature whose leaves resemble a petticoat, while the image it replaced is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

The original is better than the current or the Alice suggestions. I'm voting to just switch them back and call it good.

Original shows the falling much better than any other. I don't think the Alice ones do that either, since the whole scene is surreal in the first place.

Alice In Wonderland and the current all look liek floating to me, especially with all the other floating objects in the Alice pics.

Change it back to the previous would be my call here.

One or two more votes for the original pic and we can swap it back.

I will always love that moment in the movie. Oh, and it's the best image too. tongue

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Done. Here's the old in case anyone cares:

Cosmo's skirt is leaves because she is a plant. This is unique.

And there was also another that was originally switched:

Cool. I've done some namespacing; add a caption if you want one. Locking up.
