This image is obviously of huge historical significance, and it’s a great digitization — insanely high-res, and the overall image quality is very high. But perhaps we should hold off on this nomination and instead time it to coincide with the 44th anniversary late this year, as
Commons did last year?

04:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC) New version is better; it has the same scratches, which are sometimes a little more noticeable (man's face in far lower left), but that's because everything is clearer. I am not expressing an opinion about how high resolution the FP version should be, simply that the

Very historical pic...I've seen this pic in multiple U.S. history textbooks (that's like the third time I said that on FPC). Maybe a task force should be created for finding all the historically significant PD pics in textbook. Anyways, very high quality scan of a pic a couple of decades old.

And I did that, but I'm not sure how well received my version will be, the high res is overkill especially since all you are looking at is film grain at full resolution.

The POTD appearance can be easily arranged to be on the correct date, however we don't suspend noms for the sole reason that their promotion coincides with some date.
26:
471:- the second version is still high enough res that you can see the film grain, so any more is just wasted. Everything else has already been said.
