- Support Either with preference for original. Self Nom. --Fir0002 08:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The alternative is more interesting, but should be cropped a bit on the right, IMO. --jacobolus (t) 14:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support either, with slight preference for no. 1. --KFP (talk | contribs) 19:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support original (although, if the consensus goes against me, I'd still support the alternative). This is a beautiful shot. For once, I actually like the white background; it really sets this particular specimen off. Enuja 19:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

- Support either, I think - although (and I've been wondering about this for a couple of days now) how come the file size is so small? 160kB? Obviously not a reason to oppose in the absence of quality concerns, but a bit puzzling. --YFB ¿ 06:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Lots of white = nothing to compress. Even with min compression, JPEGs will only compress the actual colour pixels. Yo often find heavily textured/multicoloured pics don't compesss very small at all. Filesize is therefore irrelevant in FP considerations. Oh, support either image, seeing as I'm here :) fab shot - mikaultalk 12:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's what I'd thought it must be. Even so, I usually find Photoshop makes rather big JPEGs. Anyway, agreed that it's a good photo. On second thought, though, I prefer the original for the same reasons as HereToHelp. --YFB ¿ 19:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Try the "Save for web..." dialog, it strips out extraneous file data. You dont get any embedded EXIF, but you do get smaller jpegs for the same quality.mikaultalk 22:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support both. And as often with Fir0002 : woa ! Blieusong 09:20, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support the one on the bottom. More striking, brighter colors. WaterMan90 18:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support original Shows top of abdomen more clearly, eye unobscured by antenna.--HereToHelp 19:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support Original per everyone. Witty lama 21:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support original despite DOF problem, this is a great image. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 18:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support original. —dima/talk/ 16:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
