Page banner[edit]

The page banner isn't excellent, IMO, so I've added an alternative:

Alternative Not in St Kilda
Alternative #2
Alternative #3 Dùn from Hirta
Alternative #4 Boreray with two great skuas
Current

  • The alternative is a better picture, but what has this view of Colonsay got to do with St Kilda? I created the present banner long before the crop tool was available, and I just used a long distance view that I had. I will try to create a new banner in the next few days.

The original file was categorized under St. Kilda; obviously a mistake was made somewhere. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 14:56, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Now I look more closely, the original was categorized both under "Dun, St Kilda" and "Colonsay." Obviously, a mistake was made in the category. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 14:57, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SelfieCity: I would definitely have to say Alternative, the current banner is too "Animated". Arep Ticous 16:29, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is, as AlasdairW mentions above, that the alternative is not actually a picture of St Kilda. Therefore, we must go with the current banner for now. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 16:30, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Both Alt 1 and Alt 2 are mesmerizing to the eye, better than theCurrent one of course, Even so, i will have to go with Alt 2 because its a less complicated and an original picture which belongs to the location. Therefore, i draw my vote to Alt 2and take back my comment on ALT 1. Lots of smile... Arep Ticous 14:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry for the delay in getting back to this, I have been busy with other things. Alternative #2 is a photo of the right place. However I think a different crop of this photo captures a more iconic image - I created Alternative #3, showing Dun - a view everybody sees from the boat waiting to land. I also created Alternative #4 showing the view from the highest point, Conachair with two birds - seabirds are a major reason for visiting the islands. My first choice is #3.

Actually, on my screen, the bird is not covered, for the most part. Thanks for your work! --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 15:21, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
