Silam Crab (Geosesarma aurantium) on Mount Silam. Size ca. 15 mm
 Comment I had a square crop version nominated earlier which raised some frowning. Here is another view of the same crab. Symmetrical view, as it was the desire. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 15:53, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment This is an example for Heisenberg uncertainty principle: You either kill the 15 mm crab (which can move incredibly fast) in their natural habitat to prevent her from leaving the DoF or you get her alive in a place where she cannot escape and shot 40 photos with the macro lense to get a reasonable sharp shot. No animal was harmed during the session. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 18:49, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment In my opinion all votes emitted until now are invalid, because you had 3 or even 4 nominations at the same time open, and therefore this nomination was not aligned with the policies. Therefore I suggest to relaunch it, but I am not sure how this was solved in the past. I see no issue with the FPC above because it was just open for a hour, not sure about this, though.

 Comment I thought the two previous were already dead after the overall judgement. Especially this second nomination of the crab was an alternative to the square version because of the crop objections. I did not knew how to place an alternative version. Apologies, it was not meant to flood the FPC. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 19:26, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If we understand it as an alternative placed in the wrong place, then it is ok, I guess. Still, you have a lot of examples of how to place alternatives, you can always look up what others do. It is usually enough to create a subsection in the nomination titled "Alternative" and place there the new version. Poco2 23:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
