OriginalEd Lu in 2022
Reason
High quality photo of physicist and former astronaut Ed Lu. The infobox image is nice but not as good technically (it's unsharp and noisy). I cropped this image using Template:CSS image crop. If the nom passes, I will create a cropped file.

  • Support as nominatorBammesk (talk) 02:30, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Rather obscure subject. Marginal EV. Photo doesn't lead infobox. – Sca (talk) 12:42, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think an astronaut who flew on three space missions is 'obscure'. My concern with this image is that it provides no indication of why Mr Lu is notable - it depicts a middle aged man in smart casual attire, which is about as generic as you can get. The infobox photo is much better. Nick-D (talk) 23:40, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Portrait of a subject in a biography article is a well-established precedent, lots of examples in past FPs. He isn't just an astronaut, but a working physicist too. Infobox image doesn't have the quality. Nom image is high quality. Obscurity isn't relevant, we are an encyclopedia, not a magazine. Things like indicating his notability, being in infobox are pluses, but not requirements. See Oppenheimer nom below [1], there is no indication of his notability. Lots of similar examples in past FPs. Bammesk (talk) 03:56, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OriginalFrench battleship Justice in 1909, near New York City
Reason
Rather high quality, high resolution photograph that I have restored with way more care than I probably needed to get away with it. The extreme left side was particularly damaged, and it would, of course be insane to not just crop it. It would take days of work, probably well over ten, fifteen hours on a less than 500px wide strip of an over 9000px wide image.
So here's a comparison of the extreme left hand side before and after, with a scrollbar so you can go up and down1

  • Support as nominatorHamid Hassani (talk) 03:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This gives me the opportunity to raise a question I had, which is whether the picture really needs correction? Those may be paint loss and defects in the painting as it currently is, rather than defects in the photograph of the painting. Especially given that the painting is used in art articles, shouldn't we reproduce the painting, rather than trying to "correct" it as we might do with some illustrations for articles? It seems that a reproduction of a painting should represent the painting and be clearly labeled in the article caption if it's been "improved".--Jahaza (talk) 23:22, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We usually don't restore paintings, particularly when the digital reproduction is high quality and the source is reliable (for example the museum that houses the painting). There are instances when we have touched up noncontroversial, and usually minor, abnormalities (for example, borders of a painting), i.e. when doing so is common sense. That's my experience at FPC. Bammesk (talk) 02:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OriginalAngela Davis, Marxist and feminist scholar.
Reason
I think this is probably the best of the photos we have of her, in a pretty iconic look. Did reshuffle the images on her page - didn't remove any, just changed the order - because, while I don't think there's anything wrong with leading with a 2014 photo in theory, the old lead image looks really snapshotty.
Crop is, I think, justified by the marks on the original, which indicate fairly strongly a crop was planned. I also uploaded one that edited out the X's.

That black spot [8] on the wing seems to be a characteristic, looking at google images. It's covered up in the nom image. Bammesk (talk) 01:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OriginalGeorge Grossmith as Reginald Bunthorne in Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience
Reason
It does a really good job at showing the exaggerated, "æsthetic" poses used in the original show. I did have to fill in some cut-off corners, but there's no encyclopedic content in them, just the photographer's backdrop. I kind of like the attempt to disguise the back brace that let him hold the pose long enough to get the shot with straw. (look between his feet). Original run of the opera. A little grainy, but not excessively given it was a relatively small photo.
