Original – Derek Jeter salutes the Yankee Stadium crowd after breaking Lou Gehrig's franchise hit record.

Reason

This addresses concerns from the previous nomination.

Copying from previous nom:

High quality image of proper size depicting Derek Jeter, regarded as a future Hall of Famer, during one of his most notable moments. He is saluting the Yankee Stadium crowd as they celebrate his 2,722nd career hit, with which he passed Lou Gehrig for the franchise record. He's got his typical stoic facial expression.

• Oppose Per Brandmeister. Its a stunning picture, just lacks the good quality. There is probably a thousand other pictures just like this on the internet, so this picture is not very unique nor does it have any higher value then others. Dusty777 (talk) 18:17, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose it's still dark and soft. The grainyness is less, but there's still a lack of focus. Matthewedwards :  Chat  20:12, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
• Withdraw at this point because it seems evident that the reason for the nomination wasn't appreciated (i.e. people didn't read the opening statement). The original reason for the nom was that this is a significant moment of Yankee sporting history. There are therefore not a thousand other pictures like it, as this moment occurred only once. So I thought the picture was worth fixing up for the sake of the EV. But this nom has become pointless due to, imo, overly heavy early opposing. Sometimes it's worth waiting for the nominator to reply to comments. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 10:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
