  • @Mile You have a keen eye. I'm going to say the spots/streaks were insects, there were quite a few down there by the river. I have removed the ones you noted plus a couple more that the spot visualiser highlighted. Thanks, BigDom (talk) 10:33, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Hmm, how do you come to this geolocation? Either the photographer was standing on the ground -- but then, looking at Google streetview, I don't think this location is correct (see the slopes at the left). Or this is indeed an aerial/drone shot -- but then not only this location is possible and without EXIF and response from the photographer we never can be sure, right? --A.Savin 22:08, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm quite sure that the houses in the picture are located in a place named Rivaz 15 kilometers North from Lausanne. The car park depicted is next to the Centrale Hidroelectrique le Forestay. According to the panorama's background, the camera location is compatibile with a place named Forestay, located in the south part of Chexbres, maybe, Chemin de la Plantaz. Can you double check, please? Terragio67 (talk) 03:34, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did almost exactly the same photo a few years ago with same lighting, same time of the day and of the year and exact same place (but with more snow on the mountains) and I can confirm it's Rivaz and that this picture can only be taken with a drone -- Giles Laurent (talk) 08:51, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't question the town in the picture. It's more about precise camera location: if there's no EXIF data and we cannot expect a statement from the photographer, then we can only estimate: use {{Location estimated}}. --A.Savin 14:43, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Camera location appearing on the file right now is wrong (46° 28′ 27.27″ N, 6° 47′ 38.71″ E) and suggesting it would be Saint-Saphorin, which is not the case (it's Rivaz). Right camera (drone) location with only 10-20m margin error is 46°28'38.0"N 6°46'36.4"E -- Giles Laurent (talk) 15:06, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, now that makes sense IMO, thanks.  Support --A.Savin 16:20, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist and replace --Thi (talk) 10:19, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep With a picture like 'Earthrise' that has gained so much of its value from its iconic status, it is IMO appropriate to feature the version of it that is most similar to the 'famous' version, as opposed to a version that may be of higher technical quality. The proposed replacement is clearly a better quality image but if we want to feature a good quality photo of the Earth above the lunar surface, we shouldn't feature this image at all because it has long been superseded by photos from new space probes. Its value comes from its historical and cultural importance, not its technical quality. The iconic version of the picture, the one used by most sources including NASA themselves, is the current FP, and so that is the one we should feature. See also 1, 2, 3. 16:03, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Cmao20 (talk)
  •  Keep I agree with Cmao20. --FreCha (talk) 14:01, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep The two pictures are two different things, even though they reproduce the same data. The older one has an historical value. It has been reproduced as such on newspapers, books, stamps, etc.: en:Earthrise. The newer one shows a more realistic version of the other, as "it had must be" if all colours would had been well balanced. There is a lot of technical job behind, and it has also a very important value, but mainly in the comparison with the other one. According to me, the newer one deserves to be enlisted among the featured picture, but not in substitution of the other one. --Harlock81 (talk) 12:06, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
