- Comment - Coffeeandcrumbs, I appreciate that you've eliminated the surface noise, but why did you crop and rotate the image? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:48, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- I rotated it 3° because the original orientation made it appear like her was bent forward.
- The crop was because there was too much background and Conrad was lost deep in it. I wanted to improve composition of the portrait, focusing on his eyes and the pin on his lapel while removing the distracting button which has no EV. I think it improved usability on wiki. See for example sh:Pete Conrad or nl:Pete Conrad. I believe bringing him to the foreground was an improvement. I have uploaded the original so you can judge for yourself: File:Charles Conrad (S64-31465).jpg. See original vs crop on wiki. Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 02:35, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- I already did compare the original and your edited version; that's why I asked the question above. I tend to disapprove of these kinds of edits. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:34, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose The thing about having the subject leaning forward a bit and including some of the body was a photo style of the era. It was intended to make the photo dynamic and make the subject look thoughtful, eager and attentive. With the crop and rotation, it now looks like a laidback modern passport photo. --Cart (talk) 04:26, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per cart, I would support the original unrotated version. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:50, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cart.--Vulphere 05:45, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination. I will nominate the original. Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 09:08, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
