 * Support Great detail. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2007-11-23 15:01Z
 * Support Edit 1 or 2 The ideal encyclopedic shot in many ways. Reduced noise edit removes any remaining doubts I had. Lovely pic.   My preference is still for edit 1, as all excessive chromatic noise around the highlights is removed. OTOH edit 2 retains a little more detail: I'd be happy to see either promoted. --mikaultalk 17:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Which enhance effect did you take ? --Laitche (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I de-noised (chroma only) in NoiseNinja, then gave local contrast and sharpness a tweak in Photoshop.--mikaultalk 14:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks. --Laitche (talk) 14:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Support Edit 2 Nice macro work - I've reduced the noise selectively retaining detail in the leg area etc which was lost in Mick's edit --Fir0002 22:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Support original, lots of detail is gone in the edit. --Aqwis (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Erm... What is edit 3 for? It's gif, and all I see is a lot of dithering... thegreen J      Are you green?  03:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I just thought we needed another 350px tall thumbnail obnoxiously taking up even more space. It was a statement -- ⁪ffroth 05:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * hehehee.. --mikaultalk 14:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Support edit 2 great shot and nice noise reduction. Oppose edit 3 H92110 (talk) 11:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The original file size is 2.19 MB but Edit 2 is only 776 KB. I think that's too much down sampling and lost detail. The surface of stomach is not a colour noise. That is a detail. Actually that is not smooth then edit 2 is not real, that's fake. --Laitche (talk) 13:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
