• Comment – Leaning to support, but there is an unnatural looking bright spot on the head at x,y=1540,856 relative to top left corner. Is it natural, should it be fixed? Bammesk (talk) 14:15, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. It's a water droplet. I prefer not to remove it. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:04, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
