Reason
Despite being the majority coordinator for POTD, I don't often nominate FPCs and I'm not even really an image expert... but this one looks quite impressive to me - the illusion is very profound when the picture is expanded, it seems like it has solid EV as a good illustration of both
Peripheral drift illusion and
Illusory motion. As an expandable svg it is technically sound too, so I think most of
WP:Featured picture criteria would be met. Interested what you guys think of this.
Comment – Leaning to support, but I have a question. The original by Paul Nasca
[1] displays as a 27 x 20 cell matrix (with a corresponding vector field here
[2]). The nom SVX displays as a 20 x 15 cell matrix. Does that affect anything regarding the perception or illusion? I can't tell with my eyes. Second, personally I like to see Paul Nasca's name mentioned in some way in the file page of the SVG.

Paul Nasca's name added as requested.
I'm no expert in this field and Google couldn't find analysis on its effect. My original-research opinion is that one needs a minimum number to work (2×2 likely won't) but not so many that detail is lost due to limited display or eye resolution e.g. in a thumbnail. The amount of field of view it spans seems far more important.
Support – Interesting subject. Some images in
the article work better than others, as far as my eyes are concerned !
