- Reason
- Compare the front paws with File:Ursa_Major.jpg - there's some damage in the original. The fix to this amputates a toe. This is less than ideal. As no uncolour-adjusted version was uploaded, it's less than trivial to repair this - and probably easier to redo from scratch.
I do realize mine is lighter. Durova repeatedly said that she did not use colour bars, simply cropping them out as her first step. I do use them.

- I am not too knowledgeable about Pix but I see that grounds for delisting include uploading a better image of original...soooo if that is possible I agree with delist Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:17, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm, the replacement looks a little less saturated on my laptop...will look on another screen. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- As I mentioned, Durova did have a tendency to arbitrarily adjust levels; I attempted to get something around what it would look like if you had it in front of you, or nearly. This sets some constraints. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:24, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Okay - if this is more like the original then I support its retention as FP. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:55, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
