Would this image from Starcraft II work? [1]

I feel the contrast between the lit area and unlit areas of the room better visualise the trope than simply having a dark room; which could just be comes across as a poor quality/underexposed image.

Decent number of options now. Crowner?

Blank crowner's hooked, no time to fill right now.

On second thought, downvoted Ash. I'm not sure that widescreen will work at wiki size.

^^ To elaborate on my point there, here are the two leading options in the crowner side by side for comparison. Due to the composition of the Ash shot any crop is going to look incredibly awkward (whereas Event Horizon is already cropped), which unfortunately reduces the amount of detail we can show by a fair amount.

I don't think the cropping is the problem, but that that one looks like some kind of relaxation or otherwise private moment, in which case you'd maybe want it dark. On the other hand, a guy who seems to be working would normally be in decent lighting.

This is ready to call. I've put some of the options on an Image Links page, can someone please upload and add the winner? Thanks in advance.

Caption or no?

It's up, tagged, and sourced.

No real idea for the caption. Perhaps something witty about the company cutting down on light fixture costs?

If someone has a caption idea, go ahead and put it up. Otherwise, give this a lock.

^ That's also clever, but I think it relies a bit too much on being familiar with the work.
