•  Info Salix (willow) catkins in early spring. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  04:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support a couple weeks ago, these willow catkins were all gray/white. when I saw them again over the weekend, they looked like this. I like that it feels like an eruption/explosion of springtime color bursting from inside the gray. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  04:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Info Gallery fixed. You need to really check out and find the exact gallery and section since the FPCBot is now sorting pictures automatically. Go to the gallery page and copy the page name and heading to get the spelling right. For more info see this. --Cart (talk) 10:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Ah! Missed "and section" the first time. Thought we were choosing from the galleries in that template now. Got it. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  13:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• The galleries in "that template" are exactly the same as in the old link, COM:FP, but the structure is better displayed in the template and it's less chance that people will select one of the main pages (like Commons:Featured pictures/Places for example). --Cart (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment Still pondering this. The 'thing' photo bombing the pic up right is bugging me. Any other color and placing of an ufo would have been better, since this can be interpreted as part of a winter-pale finger/hand in front of the lens. --Cart (talk) 17:29, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• What thing? :) New version uploaded. Given how blurred the background is, it doesn't seem like an overstep to just clone out that patch. Pinging both commenters just in case: W.carter, Basotxerri. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  17:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Hmmm... I could have sworn I saw something there... Oh, well, I'm getting old and should probably have my eyes checked. ;) --Cart (talk) 17:54, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Coold idea. --Podzemnik (talk) 23:22, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Wonderful natural colors. Visually the pattern is also very dynamic -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support - I still don't know how I feel about stuff being cloned out, but the results sure are excellent. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
