A leaf
Reason
Relatively low resolution (1,024 × 768 px), partially blurry, lots of JPEG artifacting. (Plus the plant is unidentified, limiting the image's encylopedic value.)

Representation of a UK roundabout (with cars giving way and indicating)
Reason
As much as it's a useful gif for demonstrating how roundabouts work, it's definitely not the best we can offer and most definitely not a featured picture a decade-and-a-half after being promoted. Our standards have changed and this is a low-quality stuttering 25 frame gif that arguably has many of the cars driving dangerously (and therefore not a very educational gif in regard to road safety). Undeniably fails WP:FP?#3 and arguably WP:FP?#2.

Holoplatys semiplanata with scale
Reason
Image is below current minimum resolution requirements (1,600 × 1,067 pixels); the scale is just a guess according to the original FPC discussion (based on measurements of a different spider); the licensing is crappy (CC-BY-NC + GFDL 1.2-only); and natural backgrounds are now preferred for animal photos (AFAICT).
