Reason: I believe this image meets the FP criteria: it is of high technical standard (its main subject is in focus and it is professionally composed); it is high resolution (the image is a 5,237 × 3,491 pixel JPG); it has a free license (image is a U.S. government work and is in the public domain); it is verifiable (the image was uploaded to a reliable website, it had embedded metadata, and the content illustrated in the image could be independently verified through third-party RS which are linked in archival format in the file page); it has a descriptive and informative file description; it avoids inappropriate manipulation (the only manipulation that occurred before uploading was white balancing and slight cropping to align the main subject to the center of the image); it has significant encyclopedic value (it is used in five articles and has the potential to be used in a multitude of others, such as sunburn).
Articles in which this image appears: Baldric, Ceremonial mace, Salute, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Drum major (military)

~~Support as nominator~~ – Chetsford (talk) 22:23, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw support - the original (uncropped) version doesn't meet the high technical standard, in my opinion; the main subject, not being centered, is distracting and there's too much head space Chetsford (talk) 07:16, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

...Agreed, but we could crop the right and not as much on the top. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 15:31, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How about Alt 1? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 04:54, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Too tight crop at top, IMO. --Janke | Talk 16:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Janke: Weirdly, this was an undocumented crop, not in the original source. I've gone back to the source. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 21:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Still unbalanced. Crop a bit more at right, so that the circle of the trumpet just disappears, and I'll support. --Janke | Talk 18:40, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Janke: I presume you meant the right edge of the circle. It looked wrong when I went further. I accidentally uploaded as a weird file name, but I'll upload over Alt 1 if it is acceptable. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 03:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - Support Alt 2. --Janke | Talk 07:10, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – EV? – Sca (talk) 12:46, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sca: It's used as an example of uniform and such. I'd say it has EV as an exemplar. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 21:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~Conditional~~ support either ~~The image at the source isn't cropped like that. If~~ it's returned to the original state... Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 17:54, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - high quality and decent EV. Preference for Alt 2. TSP (talk) 11:12, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
