Support but prefer Edit 1 - Did some exposure adjustment which i think was needed. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Thanks, but does the edit make the center of the eye look a tad too dark? –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]
  - Scratch that, the edit does look better. Thanks. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Only for the EV. The quality isn't great but its good enough for FP. —§unday b 01:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit 1 The EV value is very good and edit 1 definitely goes far to fix it being a bit too light although I had the same thought as Julian before I went and tweaked my monitor settings a little bit. Cat-five - talk 01:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Original version is a better starting point for edits (larger, dust specks can be removed, no JPG re-compression issues). Juliancolton, when uploading new versions of images with significant differences do not upload over the original!--Nilfanion (talk) 01:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As far as I could tell they were very minor tweaks more than significant differences... –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:49, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - A crop is a significant change, particularly in the context of FPC. In context, I feel the original works better as a thumbnail in article (the extra vertical size helps). When in doubt do not upload over someone elses image.--Nilfanion (talk) 01:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Alright, sorry then, I'm not particularly familiar with images on Commons. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - The same applies with images on WP.--Nilf anion (talk) 02:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Got it. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:02, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid it's the turn of the pedantic knowitall to pop up-in the caption,it should be 'its peak' not 'it's peak' Lemon martini (talk) 11:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops; note to self, don't write when tired. How's the image itself? –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 12:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1 with the comment that significant edits should be uploaded under a new filename, with the actions performed fully noted and a link back to the original file. Durova^Charge! 18:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:18, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1 - This is a great photo. High EV and the quality is quite good. (Giligone (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Support edit 1 I tried to stay away from FPC for a while but this is amazing!--Elena85 | Talk to Me | 1800 edits!!!' 19:58, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Though it has a high EV, noise and artifacting prevent me from supporting. Spencer^T♦^C 12:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
