Reason
I believe this image meets the FP criteria: it is of high technical standard (its main subject is in focus and it is professionally composed); it is high resolution (the image is a 5,237 × 3,491 pixel JPG); it has a free license (image is a U.S. government work and is in the public domain); it is verifiable (the image was uploaded to a reliable website, it had embedded metadata, and the content illustrated in the image could be independently verified through third-party RS which are linked in archival format in the file page); it has a descriptive and informative file description; it avoids inappropriate manipulation (the only manipulation that occurred before uploading was white balancing and slight cropping to align the main subject to the center of the image); it has significant encyclopedic value (it is used in five articles and has the potential to be used in a multitude of others, such as sunburn).

  • Withdraw support - the original (uncropped) version doesn't meet the high technical standard, in my opinion; the main subject, not being centered, is distracting and there's too much head space Chetsford (talk) 07:16, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
