•  Support -- Kooritza (talk) 16:55, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support, but  Question; can you see the visible difference in colour of the sea in the picture situated right bottom when compared to the other ones? why is that?--MASHAUNIX 19:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Is it OK now? Kooritza (talk) 23:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
    • Sure.--MASHAUNIX 20:00, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:39, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support educational. Stellarkid (talk) 15:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support--McIntosh Natura (talk) 18:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support High educational, nice quality --George Chernilevsky ^talk 19:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too small so no details. Each pic is only 1500×900px! Lycaon (talk) 19:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --Brackenheim (talk) 20:05, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Lycaon--Miguel Bugallo 21:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- As above but this is an excellent candidate for a VI set. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:26, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Ggia (talk) 00:35, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose. Not educational - we don't even get an explanation of what is going on here. In the first image, he is not wearing gloves and holding a harpoon. In all other photos the harpoon is gone and his gloves are on. The small rectangle of wood of unknown purpose is sometimes strapped on the deck, in his hands, possible floating free in the water, why or when I can't quite tell. Whatever he is doing is not an "eskimo roll"; in the last image he is paddling the kayak forward while upside-down, why? Rmhermen (talk) 20:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose per all others. And now, let the poor thing breathe, but I'm afraid he is dead now...--Jebulon (talk) 22:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Info The photo montage shows traditional kayaking technique used in Greenland. To read more about the technique used please read this book (for example page 21 and beyond) --Kooritza (talk) 14:28, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Support--Kooritza (talk) 04:10, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment I would prefer a border (may-be a black line) between the images.. In the first version (without borders images) it is not so bad.. because there are only 4 images. Ggia (talk) 13:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support may-be also an animated gif image can also demonstrate this technique.. Ggia (talk) 21:08, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support both are good. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:21, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --George Chernilevsky ^talk 06:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
• Oppose. Per comment above. Rmhermen (talk) 12:57, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Info The photo montage shows traditional kayaking technique used in Greenland. To read more about the technique used please read this book (for example page 21 and beyond) Kooritza (talk) 14:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
•  Info -- According to the present rules this picture should be shown as a new nomination, not an alternative. However User:Kooritza has already two active nominations. I suppose this alternative will have to be withdrawn or closed. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:14, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

IMO this version can considered as the same image.. it contains the same images + some more.. it is a similar issue with an image and the same cropped image as alternative. the cropped image has less info rather the non-cropped image. Ggia (talk) 12:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

And you opinion is absolutely right,Ggia --Mbz1 (talk) 13:19, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry no. Ggia's opinion is Ggia's opinion. Not good, not wrong. You may agree, but you cannot say it is an " absolutely right opinion". For me, as a free man living without ulterior motives or mental reservations, I agree and follow Alvesgaspar's opinion in this case. Dura lex...--Jebulon (talk) 16:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

... sed lex. Jebulon, please register your opinion in the FPC talk page, where a discussion was started. Thanks. Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

No my friend, I won't. I've said here all what I wanted to say. The discussion in the FPC talk page concerns something else (like a personal conflict ?), and I want to stay free, as I said.--Jebulon (talk) 09:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

But thank you for invitation !--Jebulon (talk) 10:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I've protected this file due to the edit-war whether this shall be closed through the use of {{FPD}} or kept open. Please discuss this at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates. I unprotect this page when a consensus is found there. --AFBorchert (talk) 15:11, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I've unprotected, sorry AFBorchert. I understand your position, but since protection blocks further voting, it seems problematic to protect for the final hours of the nomination. I think we should let it run out. The "rule-breaking" image (alternative) could be removed if anyone feels strongly about it, but I think Alvesgaspar is too involved with the Mbz1 issue to make an objective call. --99of9 (talk) 22:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

•  Comment -- That wasn't a wise thing to do, unless the intention is to enforce the agreed rules, especially coming from a user whose opposition about this specific rule has alerdy been clearly expressed). Please see my comments in the FPC talk page. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
