No, the other one.
The image works. It can be improved upon, but it works. It's got a laser sight and it doesn't look all that stable.

Definitely keep, but perhaps a picture of one being knocked down (which I couldn't find).

I'm not very good at taking screenshots, so can't help, but I would suggest eventually replacing this Portal image with a turret from Iji, because not only does it look far more vulnerable, but we already have several images from Portal as trope illustrations (Logic Bomb one comes to mind), while Iji hasn't had that honor yet as far as I'm aware. If anyone is willing to donate extra time to this, a merged image of a shocksplinter/splintergun or similarly high-tier turret firing then the same turret being knocked off its perch would be even more effective at illustrating the trope.
I'd suggest the Half Life tripod turret, which looks so narrow and top-heavy it should get knocked over just from its own recoil: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/HECU_Sentry_Gun
Hi
Clock is set.
Oh sweet Trope Tan, you'd think the internet would be chock full of images of tipped over and damaged Sentry Turrets, but no!
Anyway, it took a while, but here's a tipped over turret.

Ugh, I know! I had such a frustrating time looking. Good job. A closer crop of that will work nicely.

That's far better.

Hi
Re-clocking to give time for more discussion on 10.
No, the other one.
It's an improvement.

I'm biased, but I support 10 over the current because it shows the turret being weak. Not damaged, just tipped over and firing spastically.
Am I a weirdo?
I also prefer 10 for pretty much the same reasons.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
I support it as well. I've added and tagged it, as well as flipped the Image Source pages out. I support "Please put me back up." for caption - seems like the cutest to me.

Hi
I can live with that as the caption.
Hi
The clock's up; locking up.
I see the "turret", but I don't see the "weak". You could even argue that anyone unfamiliar with Portal won't recognize the current picture as a turret.
There could be an image out there that has this same turret being knocked over easily; but as it stands, we'd be better off by just cutting it.
