• Support as nominator – The herald 16:49, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
• Comment Why "reduced" in the file name? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:40, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden:..That's because of its reduced size (earlier version). I think of to go for a rename request. The herald 13:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

• Question Why is it in portrait orientation? The original work was in landscape. This is also Sven Manguard 19:58, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

This is the standard orientation Orion appears in. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:57, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

@Sven Manguard: ..The orientation cannot have anything to do with FP nominations (IMHO).. The herald 15:00, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

The Herald I am not sure where you are getting that idea from, but it's certainly not correct. The orientation that is being used is not the orientation that the photographer chose. I am not sure whether to oppose over that or not (Adam is right in that this is the typical orientation), but I do feel that I would be justified in doing so.

• Oppose When the label was removed, it was done so in a way that changed a significant chunk of the information in that region of the image, and hence made the image misleading. The upper right corner is now completely at odds with the reality of that part of the sky. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 14:44, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden:.. Done..fixed it..how now..? The herald 15:00, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

It looks a lot better. Did you manage to get a copy without the label released? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:42, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Yep.. The herald 15:45, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Support, then. I'd post a message to WT:FPC saying the issues have been resolved. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:10, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
