D&R, but consider adding more space at the top. Jay Cubby 19:25, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JayCubby: please remember to boldface your votes. :) UnpetitproleX (talk) 21:51, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@UnpetitproleX, thanks for the reminder. Mobile editing is tricky. Jay Cubby 21:54, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Completely understandable. You can boldface by manually adding three inverted commas before and after the text, but remember to use straight ones (i.e. ') and not curly. UnpetitproleX (talk) 22:04, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I initially created File:A Man on the Moon, AS11-40-5903.jpg, but some people have an objection. I could add this one as alternative. Yann (talk) 08:23, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In this case the photo as taken is important and there was no more space at the top.©Geni (talk) 16:24, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Existing FP's colours are much more aesthetically pleasing. New one has a purple tinge. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:31, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The colors might just be more accurate. The flag, for instance, appears more naturally colored in the second version. Color is subjective though. Jay Cubby 20:44, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
IMO the older FP is too dark compared with other versions of the same picture. Yann (talk) 08:20, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
