Support~~Comment~~: This image is used at Horse#Sleep_patterns on-wiki. It was photoshopped from the original, here. I like the image, but am not familiar enough with the FP criteria to know if the photoshopping was OK. If the photoshopping is OK, then I support.

@Montanabw:Discussion on why it was modified, at commons:Commons:Featured picture candidates/Image:Biandintz eta zaldiak - modified2.jpg. Hope that's helpful info, — Cirt (talk) 21:25, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Like I said, if the photoshopping is OK per FP criteria here on WP, then I'm OK with it. Montanabw ^(talk) 21:29, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Montanabw:I double-checked it for you: per WP:WIAFP criteria eight (8), points one and two, it meets the criteria. :) — Cirt (talk) 21:35, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changed vote to support. Upon review of original image, the image was cloned to remove a partial view of another horse standing in the background that basically made the standing animal look as if it had six legs. Sort of the equivalent of erasing a telephone pole growing out of someone's head. It was made a featured image at Commons about 7-8 years ago, surprised it wasn't brought here until now.

Oppose - I'm sorry, the file size does not meet the 1500x1500 minimum requirement and lacks some degree of fine detail. Removing a partially obscured third horse could be considered (by some) as digital manipulation.-Godot13 (talk) 21:56, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Godot. --Tremonist (talk) 13:59, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose IMO the editing is fine, but it is too small for FP here. Yann (talk) 22:01, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree with Godot. I want to like and support this photo, but just can't. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 02:47, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
