Support - Thank you for nominating this. I find that it's most fun to look at at full size, but in any case, I definitely support a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Wow! Something we don't see at FPC very often. But please fix the CA. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Fantastic sight, not the sharpest birds I've seen but then again we are spoiled rotten by knife-sharp bird pics here and this is more about the behavior than the birds. I will support it as soon as the CA is fixed. Looking forward to more pics from the region. cart-Talk 07:49, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can I fix the CA while it is still being assesed? Sorry, I am new to this process and need to ask stupid questions at times. -- AWeith 10:17, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - There might be one or two people who would say no, but yes, you can, and it's common practice to allow small changes. Once you've made the change, though, you should ping everyone who's already voted, so that they get a chance to see if they still want to feature the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, correcting such minor flaws is ok. Go ahead, fix it and upload a new version at the file's page and post here when it's done. cart-Talk 08:43, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Did it. I hope the new version is now the CA removed version; had some trouble converting it to the actual version (never did that before; however, learning curve is steep). Thx for your valued comments. --AWeith (talk) 11:22, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The current version looks ok. Once you have uploaded a new verion of a pic, you also have to purge your computer's cache for every setting or it will not show the new version. If many users are working with uploading, it can also take some time for the new version to go through all the stages of the data system. That is why you had some trouble with it. (I've also left you a small note on your talk page) So since Ikan Kekek was the only one who had done some actual voting before the new version came online, he is hereby 'pinged'. cart-Talk 12:17, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm sorry, I've purged my cache twice, yet I see no difference whatsoever between the current and previous version. Any advice? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:42, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have you purged your cache at all sizes? You have to do that. cart-Talk 13:21, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the question. I purge the cache, then download the new photo again. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:34, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan: A computer holds a cache for each page the pic is shown on. In this case you need to purge the following pages: Commons:Featured picture candidates, Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list‎, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Kittywakes (Rissa tridactyla) hunting fish at a glacier on Svalbard.jpg, File:Kittywakes (Rissa tridactyla) hunting fish at a glacier on Svalbard.jpg and the pic's page. Even doing so the system is sometimes very sluggish in getting the new pic though all the transclusions. Last week it took about half a day before I could view a new version of a photo in all sizes. cart-Talk 08:31, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I purged my cache to 0 bytes and still saw no difference when I downloaded the newest version again. I give up. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:16, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The general rule of thumb is: Could anyone reasonably object to is, or is it an uncontroversial improvement? Generally CA removal, tilt correction, etc. all fall into this category. For bigger changes like cropping, I would generally upload it under a different filename and add it as an "alt" (so people can vote on either of them, or both, or neither). I only upload significant changes directly on top if basically no one has voted. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:21, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's soft (focus looks off), underexposed, and I wonder if it's not pincushion distortion we see, but I like the image. - Benh (talk) 12:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support You don't think this could be featurable. But it is. I like the way the ice behind them almost becomes some sort of abstract backdrop, More FPs from the Arctic are always good. Daniel Case (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
