  • Support as nominatorBammesk (talk) 17:58, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Absolutely support. This is a great representation of an extremely complex theory. -- Veggies (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose white-on-black styling and too-thin text makes it unnecessarily hard to read. (t · c) buidhe 02:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • What part can't you read? At full-size, the smallest text is over 16pt. -- Veggies (talk) 04:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sure, it's fine at full size (although black-on-white is more readable regardless) but for optimal encyclopedic value it would also be easily understandable at somewhat smaller sizes in order to fit well in an encyclopedia article. (t · c) buidhe 04:55, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • 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. Bammesk (talk) 16:32, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, FWIW I updated the sourcing of the Alternate image [5]. Bammesk (talk) 19:21, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it still doesn't document the colourization - in fact, it makes it clear that the original very definitely wasn't colourised, so that's... kind of a big problem copyright-wise. We know which book it comes from now, I suppose, but we're not nominating the book version, we're nominating a colourised one.

Original – Surface supplied diver on diving stage, with USNS Grasp supply ship off the coast of Saint Kitts island, Caribbean.
Reason
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).

About the top left corner, I don't think it's a person, zooming on it there are too many sharp lines and angles. Bammesk (talk) 03:23, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • EV may have priority over artistic qualities, but it doesn't nullify them entirely. And I'm not altogether convinced this has any unique EV qualities that other, higher-quality images don't make up for. -- Veggies (talk) 19:02, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I struck the vote, editor has less than 100 edits, see instructions on top of this page. Regarding the oppose rationale: we don't go by "historical value", we go by Encyclopedic Value (or EV), see FP criteria. We have an article on this, it's notable, it's the lead image, that is EV.

  • Yes I know, you made a comment, so did I. FP criteria defines EV based on article usage only. We are an encyclopedia, we generate content solely based on notability. We don't generate content based on the interests of an audience (we are not a journal). Encyclopedias exist to satisfy specific inquiries, not interests of an audience.

  • Open the image in full screen (not full size) and crank up the screen brightness to maximum. It looks like a wide diffused halo around the legs (it's reddish or warm). Bammesk (talk) 02:16, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
