That's... a really, really poor illustration. Straight to the "not even doing any effort to find a picture" category, in my humble opinion, you barely can tell what's going on here.

It's not as if you can't find a better picture, with, say, a five-second Google search.

I'd need to see the suggestion at wiki size before giving it a firm [tup] but I definitely favor it over the current.

It may be some bias that I have against artwork, but I'm not really seeing the suggestion. That said, the current pic needs to go.

Current is bad and needs to rethink its life.

Suggestion is weak but still way better.

Pull regardless of a replacement or not.

I'll wait to vote to see if any other suggestions come along. But pull regardless.

Current is bad.

If nothing else, 3.2 is an improvement. Can clearly see explosions on multiple parts of the building, and there's a large number of people camped outside.

Pull current.

It's also not clear from the suggestions that it's the villains who are besieging the heroes, which is a crucial part of the trope [tdown]

As an alternative, I suggest this Battle of Helm's Deep artwork:

It's a deviantart pic, so it might require a permission to use.

I've got a potential image here from a world raid in Dawn of the Dragons showing an image that could either be used for this trope or Storming the Castle. Thoughts on it?

As I said, the suggestion (a painting titled Siege of Burgos) was the result of a very quick Google search; I'm pretty sure we can find better options.

The current should go anyway, replacement or not.

Can we rethink our choices here? The Siege (aka Defend the Castle) is about the good guys trying to fend off the forces of evil. All examples so far better illustrate the opposite Storming the Castle. What's needed is a sympathetic view from the perspective of the besieged. Something like:

The crowner's at a week since the new options were added and we've got a clear winner. It's up and tagged; caption?
