• Why PNG? I would support a JPEG version. Yann (talk) 13:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  I uploaded a lot of my images in the past as PNG. Someone recently inquired the same thing and I am uploading new images as JPG. I always use PNG (for myself) because they are lossless files. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 15:29, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  You can always upload 2 versions. Yann (talk) 17:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, but then it takes up even more space on the server. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 20:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  I can't upload a different format to the same original image. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 23:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

  There is space issue on Wikimedia servers. You have to tick the button Ignore warnings. Yann (talk) 12:11, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

  I never had anything come up to warn me about PNG. But I have started uploading JPG. If you look at my contributions, I started with JPG and I am going back to JPG. I understand the concerns and I have altered my behavior accordingly. But I uploaded this just before another FP nomination led to this issue being addressed.

  I do too, but they are much larger so I understand why Wikipedia / Wikimedia would rather have the compressed .JPG. But hey, at least I wasn't uploading .tif ;) Needsmoreritalin (talk) 02:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

•  Support PNG is more for backup or future editions, png is not used for correct representation on the web, the standard is jpg in most browsers and preferably sRGB --Wilfredor (talk) 15:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose I think this could be cropped for better framing. It's not bad, but I think it falls just shy of Featured Picture with its current composition. Maybe shave a little negative space off the left side and see if that looks better. --DarthCloakedGuy (talk) 08:08, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

  This is actually an uncropped image. I felt I got it right in the camera. I have two other versions of this "pose" and then several more at 160mm to get the fox sitting (full body) and two when it lay down shot at 200mm. This was my favorite of the bunch. I felt the negative space helped as that was the direction the fox was facing. And I liked the portrait. It was a wonderful moment for me. The fox came out of the tree line and headed towards me, then sat in the middle of the road before laying down in the street. I just sat there with it for a few minutes until it left.
