Comment –
The original image is 3479×2213 pixels, so how is the crop 2678×3200 pixels? I think the original is a better candidate because it shows the left side as well. Perhaps the original should be placed in the article using
Template:CSS image crop and nominated. Also there is a bright horizontal scratch above his mustache which can be removed.

No, no, no. The FPC instructions for evaluating above state: Prior to giving an opinion, the image should be assessed on its quality as displayed at full size (high-resolution). There's
plenty of
featured pictures that have text that is
not legible at thumbnail size. And there's no requirement that it should be. Judge the image at full size. That's why we have resolution requirements. --
Veggies (talk) 05:39, 6 March 2021 (UTC)reply
A white background doesn't work for the depiction (visualization) of probability densities. Because maximum probability would have to be dark and minimum probability white. It makes no sense visually-logically, also dark gradients don't render vividly as do bright gradients. The equation (which you critique for text size) is there for reference only. It's as relevant as a signature on a painting. Anyone interested in the equation will get it from the relevant article(s) text, not from the image. What's relevant is the title "Hydrogen Wave Function" which is legible even at thumbnail size.

Support oriignal, Strong oppose alt: There's very poor documentation, but what there is indicates this is probably a modern colouring of a black and white original. We have a notable version of this featured already - the
Copy printed in "A Memoir of Jane Austen", and while we certainly could promote the sketch as the only copy actually drawn from life, of which the others are based, but take various liberties, we certainly can't promote an undocumented colourisation, which is arguably a potential copyvio.

Reason
High quality, effectively illustrates the comparative sizes and shapes of the objects, and has significant EV for topics related to the outer Solar System. This image has been
previously nominated for FP in 2007 but has since been updated over the years following the overhaul of knowledge about the dwarf planets and trans-Neptunian objects since the New Horizons flyby of Pluto in 2015.
No position as original creator of the file except to note that the inclusion (since 2016) of the Moon in the corner of this image sticks out like a sore thumb and is entirely superfluous since the Earth is already included as a reference (and as such I believe it should be removed).
Lexicon(talk) 22:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)reply

Well done photo of surface supplied underwater diving, In a single frame it shows diver(s), riding stage, supply lines, ship and crew. Lead image in several articles including a featured article. The pixel count isn't high, but I think the encyclopedic value makes up for it. The cloud highlights are blown, but that's immaterial and almost impossible to control in a fast moving action shot (can't really do multiple exposure HDR, and a single exposure HDR would introduce underwater noise).
