Original – The portrait is thought to have been created by the artist to promote the abolition of slavery in the British Empire -- the sources suggest the artist captured both the humanity of the subject, and the inhumanity of the institution.
Reason
The composition and technical aspects seem well done in this museum version

Original – A very high resolution stitched panorama image of the iconic landmark in Kolkata
Edit4 – An exposure and distortion corrected version of an already uploaded file

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Subhrajyoti07 (talkcontribs) 05:53, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reason
A very high resolution stitched panorama image of the iconic landmark in Kolkata. The fully downloaded image viewed at 100% resolution allows exceptional level of details for the viewers. I did not find such high resolution image in wikipedia for this landmark architecture and feel its inclusion will enrich the article.

  • I have created a edit 2 version of the image and worked on the exposure from scratch to give it an edge to edge consistency. Kindly check and share your views on the latest edit.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Subhrajyoti07

Original – President Nixon greeting the Apollo 11 astronauts in the Mobile Quarantine Facility, after successfully landing the first human on the moon.
Reason
Iconic photo; unfortunate blur in the bottom right, the rest of the image is pretty good though considering how hard it can be to photograph shiny things with humans in the image.

  • Chris Woodrich : It seems a rotation of 0.15° and a slight crop would fix that. CropTool doesn't work here, and I am on a limited connection. Finally, at the 5th tentative, it worked with a lossless crop, but then I may have cropped it too much. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:04, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reason
Dark purple Trichoglottis orchid (Trichoglottis atropurpurea) at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This is a VI and QI on Commons and I find that I keep coming back to it. Nominated for FP on Commons a while back and have since made a few adjustments based on feedback provided there.
