•  Comment Clean work but the light is quite boring and the contrast is too low. I think the background should be white? Information about the used program would be helpful and the stacking template should be added.--Ermell (talk) 08:32, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

• Une proposition : File:Frizzle sizzle (40519s) v2.jpg S. DÉNIEL (talk) 10:04, 27 March 2020 (UTC) n'hésitez pas a l'effacer si ça ne vous convient pas.

• S. DÉNIEL, please do not display other images on a nomination since the Bot will read them as an 'Alternative'. Always use a link. If you meant it as an alternative, please ask the nominator first. --Cart (talk) 10:46, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment I've uploaded a new version that adjusts the white balance and brightens the subject a little. It's rather late in the process to just switch it, and not a substantial enough change to propose an alternative, so I'll just link to it here (I've reverted to the original for now). Curious what others think. (btw thanks, S. DÉNIEL, for the alternative, but I wanted to work from the raw files and prefer the roomier crop :) ). — Rhododendrites ^talk |  13:44, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment - I prefer that, but it's a kind of fakery, isn't it? I still don't really understand where the line between acceptable edits and fakery is drawn at FPC. Substituting a separate sky is unacceptable, but making the background a different color than it was is fine and recommended? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:08, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

• Eh. I think we all have our subjective lines. In this case, however, the background is a white posterboard, so any sort of off-white shading is a result of light/camera/postprocessing. I'm content to defer to others about which version to use, but will default to the original nomination since it was changed kind of late. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Ermell. —kallerna (talk) 05:34, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose The focus is really sharp but I agree on the light and background with Ermell and Charles. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 11:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

• @Cmao20, Ikan Kekek, Llez, and Agnes Monkelbaan: @Charlesjsharp, Daniel Case, Johann Jaritz, Ermell, and S. DÉNIEL: @W.carter, Kallerna, and Draceane: - ok I've gone ahead and reinstated the newer [white balanced] version. the difference is not substantial, so I don't suspect it'll change many votes, but pinging to be safe. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  14:07, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment - I'm fine with this, since you explained what the background is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:11, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

• Still not right for me. Charles (talk) 16:31, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
