Original – Ed Lu in 2022

Reason

High quality photo of physicist and former astronaut Ed Lu. The infobox image is nice but not as good technically (it's unsharp and noisy). I cropped this image using Template:CSS image crop. If the nom passes, I will create a cropped file.

• Comment – Rather obscure subject. Marginal EV. Photo doesn't lead infobox. – Sca (talk) 12:42, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think an astronaut who flew on three space missions is 'obscure'. My concern with this image is that it provides no indication of why Mr Lu is notable - it depicts a middle aged man in smart casual attire, which is about as generic as you can get. The infobox photo is much better. Nick-D (talk) 23:40, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Portrait of a subject in a biography article is a well-established precedent, lots of examples in past FPs. He isn't just an astronaut, but a working physicist too. Infobox image doesn't have the quality. Nom image is high quality. Obscurity isn't relevant, we are an encyclopedia, not a magazine. Things like indicating his notability, being in infobox are pluses, but not requirements. See Oppenheimer nom below [1], there is no indication of his notability. Lots of similar examples in past FPs. Bammesk (talk) 03:56, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
