Original – A space selfie by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide, 2012
Reason
Well, the previous nomination went bottoms up owing to low EV. Now that we have an article on space selfies, I think that issue is taken care of.

Lots of choices. I think Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Photographic techniques, terms, and equipment is best, but Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Space/Getting there or Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Science and engineering may also work

  • Support While I wish NASA wouldn't compress their JPGs quite so much, this one is decent resolution so I'll let that pass. -- Colin°Talk 11:18, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. There is simply something magical about space selfies. Also, I am saddened that I may never have the opportunity to take one of my own. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 23:09, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. This image has become a high EV. It is a perfect space selfie. For the "space" part, it has the full image of the sun, the earth and the space station. How often we have all three together? For the "selfie" part, most space selfies by astronauts only have the head part. This one shows the top torso and the arms extending to the camera, the signature pose of the selfies. Also the reflection added EV to show how a space selfie can be done.
