Original - Casting of about 40% of a skeleton of an Australopithecus afarensis, believed to be an ancestor of humanity from over 3 million years ago. On display at Museum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris, France.

Reason

I was surprised this was never nominated. I think the quality, EV and notability is all pretty high.

  • Um, see caption addition? --I'ḏ♥One 21:27, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
    • No, what I mean is, did he take pictures of the bones individually? Are they just on display like this? Did he work another picture with photoshop? J Milburn (talk) 10:54, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
      • Yes, I think the photos of the bones were digitally arraigned against a black background, I think that because the description mentions photoshop, but I'll ask the creator. --I'ḏ♥One 15:20, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose I like the idea and the subject matter but the resolution is just too low. Not enough pixels are devoted to the bones and I'm left wanting to see more but being unable to get it. Cowtowner (talk) 00:29, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
