• @ArionStar, please revert this modification, because 1) I don't support this version and was not notified, 2) you don't have access to the original RAW file, thus your version is of inferior quality 3) the highlights are now too strong -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

  I pinged the author and I requested him to review the version because I don't know how to do it without overwriting the file. ★ 20:51, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

• New version uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:22, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Not much change i see. But i think you should decrease Blue, that fur should be white ?! Now its mix blue-white. Raise Vibrance, minus Blue. --Mile (talk) 11:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • No. The fur is and should be tinged with blue. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:22, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • I checked, i think 1st option was better, i think now you decrease exposure and baby fur is more ("normal") white on 1st - now goes to blueuish. Compare. --Mile (talk) 17:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Neutral I think the Charles' photos are becoming strangely  Underexposed. ★ 20:40, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

• brighter version uploaded. I usually shoot underexposed to eliminate blown highlights. So 'exposure' is a choice in post-processing and I'm always ready to change my initial setting. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

  @Charlesjsharp: I just added a new brighter version. Do you like it? ★ 06:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Was it really this dark at 12:33? However, be that as it may (and I'd like your thoughts on it), I really like the photo and the composition, and it's cute. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

• I've checked the many photos I took and it so happens that the sun was behind a cloud when I got this shot. Annoying. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
