• Comment The alternative is more interesting, but should be cropped a bit on the right, IMO. -- jacobolus (t) 14:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC) reply
• Support either, with slight preference for no. 1. -- KFP ( talk | contribs) 19:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC) reply
• 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) reply

• 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) reply
  • 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 - mikaul ^talk 12:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC) reply

• 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) reply

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. mikaul ^talk 22:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC) reply

• Support both. And as often with Fir0002 : woa ! Blieusong 09:20, 22 April 2007 (UTC) reply
