Edit

•  Comment Although I'm not a fan of manipulating photos in that way, I brightened up the crab slightly and desaturated the wood in the background. I hope you can see it better now. --Björn König (talk) 11:25, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I prefer the original, as the crab looks a bit washed out after the change. --Relic38 (talk) 12:04, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I prefer the original as well --Björn König (talk) 12:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm undeceided. I'll try to create another version. --Björn König (talk) 13:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

•  Support A considerable improvement IMO. Maybe it's my monitor (though according to Commons:Image_guidelines#Your_monitor it is calibrated just right), but in the original version the crab's abdomen blends with the wood almost totally. -- JovanCormac 12:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Edit version is better -- George Chernilevsky (talk) 07:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
