Roger Chaffee in Mission Control

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 1 Oct 2016 at 06:03:43 (UTC)

Reason: Especially considering when this photo was taken, this is a high resolution photo with the subject set nicely in focus. This photo shows an astronaut in a somewhat unnatural state; they are working as CAPCOM instead of working in space. It is verifiable through NASA sources. There is an accurate description in English.

Weak Support - Quality is great but dull lighting spoils the mood for me. Nikhil (talk) 02:08, 24 September 2016‎ (UTC)[reply]
Support. I like it. The lighting is surely pretty much inevitable (or even desirable); the ship's in Murmansk, famous for being cold and bleak. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:47, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kilmainham Gaol

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Oct 2016 at 09:19:55 (UTC)

Reason: High quality image showing hall, walkways, and cells, and the airy nature of the hall due to the large bright skylight. 2016 marks the centenary of the Easter Rising. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed in this prison by the British.

Perast

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Oct 2016 at 17:12:53 (UTC)

Reason: Quality is good. EV is high. I assume not too many people know where Perast is, let alone know the significance of it for the Montenegrin people.
