Original – Australian Senate, Parliament of Australia, Canberra, Australia
Reason
Largely per the Australian House of Representatives image below. I jumped into the "no public access" section again and used similar shooting techniques. I used a different angle because the Senate Chamber is smaller, with fewer rows of seats. Again, it is the only "complete" shot of this chamber with all seating, and certainly the highest quality image on commons.

After seeing the image mentioned above I can see that not only is the perspective issue noticeable, but the result significantly misrepresents the room. Therefore I'm changing my "comment" to an "oppose". – JBarta (talk) 23:47, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps that is a better perspective, but I think it is a screenshot from a television camera in the roof. I hardly think the AFP would allow a ladder in to the room either, especially if politicians were sitting. JJ Harrison (talk) 07:35, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While your image is prettier and more striking, I think this image is a whole lot more encyclopedic. Regardless of your difficulty in getting the shot, the shot you did get rather severely misrepresents the room. And for me that fails it as one of Wikipedia's best. – JBarta (talk) 08:14, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
