.... I have to say he's right. A picture of a guy staring over the sea from the rocky shoreline doesn't indicate how his passion gets played for drama.
It's not the sea. It's a bank of fog. Just saying.

Personally, I can think of how that could illustrate it (A person looking out on a bank of fog like that doesn't strike me as flawless), but it takes a bit of a leap.

No, the other one.
It's not an excellent image, but it does to its job.
Check out my fanfiction!
How does it illustrate it? Where is the passion, and where is the drama?
No, the other one.
It's a rather dramatic image. And sure, if you want to find an image that illustrates passionate and introspective at the same time, feel free to offer a suggestion.
Check out my fanfiction!
I don't think it illustrates anything. I did see it once as a cover for Frankenstein, but that doesn't help.

I don't want to insult anybody, but did you guys (those saying it doesn't illustrate the trope or anything else) go to school? 
It's a prime illustration of romanticism and I think I was shown the image several times at school (literature and art classes) and I think I could find my childhood encyclopaedias with this image, explaining the ideals of the time.
Anyhoo, any new suggestions? When some of you dislike it so much.
I probably overstated my last statement. It's not bad, but it's a bit ambiguous. I wouldn't mind putting it back on the page, considering how difficult this trope is to illustrate, and I can't think of anything better. Either way, pulling it without discussion wasn't cool.

I'd never even seen the picture before I came to this topic, and never heard of the trope name before coming to this site.
yeah, I can see the romanticism its trying to convey, but that doesn't mean it also conveys the drama that results BECAUSE of the romanticism.
Existence Weighed Against Nonbeing
It falls firmly into Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory for me. It's decent, and I can glean a vague idea of the trope from the image, but it's nowhere near as illustrative as it could be.
Reaction Image Repository
If I look at it and think "yeah, I can kinda see it", then it's good enough for Keep Until Better Image Suggested to me. That's the reaction I get from this image.
Better than nothing, Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
I see brooding but no passion causing drama.
There is no Planet B
I think that's enough people who said it's Keep Until Better Image Suggested to put it back.
Phantom

Same pose as the pic in question but it's Batman

Angel

Edit: Batman should load now.

No, the other one.
Batman is 404, and the other two don't illustrate as well.

I kind of like the Phantom one and IMO it could go to Image Links sub-page, but I don't favour it over the current.
I don't think the Batman one is a good image, though I can't put my finger on it why.
The last one is just a vampire. Just a face and a caption in my book.
Hi
I'm not keen on the pic or any of the replacement suggestions.
Pardon me, everyone! I like the current image and all, but what about...

There is no Planet B
The first one is too funny! ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Honestly, I love it. The Face Palm is epic... It has my ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
.
The second is good as well, though very similar to the current which is more iconic.
The last one is cool, but it wouldn't make for a good page image. It would be unintelligible — too small letters in wiki size, and just a cropped part wouldn't be as fun or as illustrative as it is now.

The first one is a little better than the current. I see brooding and drama but it seems like the drama caused the brooding when he's supposed to already be brooding and that causes the drama. That might be too complicated though. I support replacing the current with 23.1.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
Someone deleted the image with edit reason "Page image doesn't illustrate the trope". I disagree.
Here is the image as it was:
The painting is the essence of Romanticism. I think it captures well the conflict of Byronic Hero.
Only, as was pointed out in the article's discussion page, the caption was slightly off (His soul is as turbulent as the sea), because it's not a sea, but a mist in the mountains.

Opinions?
