•  Support darkweasel94 01:25, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Support More animal pr0n! I like the detail—the sweat and the expressions on their faces. The more natural setting (was it actually in the wild?) sets it apart from our other pictures of bears gettin' it on. Daniel Case (talk) 04:49, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Something about the colors just don't look right to me - too purple, maybe? I'll support if the color is fixed. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Contrast edited out. --Julian H. (talk/files) 07:44, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose As per King, the colours seem too bright and unnatural. Flickrworker (talk) 09:59, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Info I made an update. The color is fixed. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 13:48, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure it is "fixed". I think the tint could be moved a bit more towards green and less purple. Colin (talk) 19:36, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

•  Info This is a new update with more green, less purple and less contrast. I used Photoshop. I thank Tomer and all of the other for help and advice. You are a good team. Please check the picture if it meets your expectations. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 00:25, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

  I had my initial suspicions that there might have been an overcorrection towards green, but I attributed it to a monitor issue (my monitor has a slight blue-green tint). However, per below it looks like I'm not alone, so  Oppose for now. The original photographer should produce a re-edited version from the raw that strikes a balance between the two current versions on the green/magenta scale. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:11, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose per above, no change. --Julian H. (talk/files) 06:30, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Support -- Raghith 10:24, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
• Strong  Oppose - The edit has lost the sRGB colour profile from the image. This is not acceptable for a Featured Picture, particularly when the original had one (sRGB). This will cause the colours to be wrong on some computers/devices -- e.g., the grass far too green. Also I don't think we should fiddle with colour on the JPG when we have the photographer here with access to the raw file and a professional colour software (photoshop) with which to do it. In addition, the other EXIF data has been lost. Please don't use "Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery" to edit featured picture nominations. Colin (talk) 19:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the kind words. Tomer T (talk) 20:04, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
    • Hey Tomer, sorry that's so negative. You do a lot of great work here. The flaw with that edit was the tool, not your intention. I don't think that program is suitable for editing FPs if it removes colour profiles and EXIF data. Colin (talk) 20:49, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Julian H.--Claus (talk) 20:02, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose as Colin --Arcalino (talk) 16:08, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose as other. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 17:14, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Different, but not better, sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 21:40, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
