Info created by Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. - uploaded by -Majestic- - nominated by Notyourbroom -- —Notyourbroom (talk) 20:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Support as nominator. The technical quality of the photo is nothing too special, but the historical context is of deep significance. Armstrong had just finished his Lunar EVA, becoming the first human to walk on the moon. After Armstrong took off his helmet, his fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin took this photograph, showing Armstrong's disheveled but exhilarated expression. No other photograph in existence captures this purely human side of the first lunar landing. —Notyourbroom (talk) 20:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Question Can it be brightened? --The High Fin Sperm Whale 21:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- The version I nominated is substantially restored and enhanced compared to, e.g., this version and this version. I'm not sure much else can be done without blowing out the lighter portions. Here's a quick mock-up of a brighter version, though I'm sure there are many people in Commons more qualified to do this than I am. :) —Notyourbroom (talk) 01:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Oppose A very valuable picture indeed, but for FP photographic quality is inevitably required. Consider nominating it for VI. -- H005 15:29, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
