Support A tiny number of dust specks in the shadows really don't hold back much. Good quality for colour film of the era (I've seen better indoor shots with colour film of the era, but outdoor shots with moving objects?).

Support Dramatic and interesting shot with solid EV. It would be good though if more details could be added to the caption here and at Commons, though the NASA caption is rather sparce. In particular, it appears that the B-52 is probably the aircraft that dropped the HL-10 for its flight (note the equipment under its right wing). Nick-D (talk) 23:20, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~While there’s a clear consensus to promotion, an unused image can’t become a featured picture.~~ Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hey, I was offline for a ~week, and had no chance to response. the photo was switched during the nomination with a larger version File:HL-10 on Lakebed with B-52 flyby - GPN-2000-000201.jpg. though it is indeed larger, its quality is worse, and it's full of jpeg artifacts. I restored the nominated photo in the articles, and given 8 supports I think it can be promoted. Artem.G (talk) 13:28, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Armbrust, it might be good to revisit the timeline of this nomination and reconsider it's closure. The image was switched Here after the nom had 6 supports and zero opposition. There was consensus for it becoming FP prior to it being replaced in the article. The image was replaced with a technically subpar image and the replacement went unnoticed. If the closure was delayed a few days and the nominator had been notified, the nominator would have caught up with it (as they did on August 2nd [1]). If it's possible, you may want to reconsider the closure. Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
