  •  Comment Any idea how I can fix it, if it can be fixed? I have the original RAW files, but I did a manual exposure blend . . . without the blend, the whole thing would be useless, :-) Maedin 19:07, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did notice the girl, but I didn't think she was distorted! She was a bit heavy, after all. The centreing was accidental. Thank you for the feedback, guys, hopefully I can improve on this in the future, :-) Maedin 11:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why don't we have a category for really distorted people? ;-} --Mbdortmund 15:23, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose A beautiful picture! Once again someone gets punished for uploading a high res image. At full screen there is no CA visible and thus the technical quality good. I also disagree with Alvesgaspar: For panoramics is's normal to have a centered composition. But strongly dislike the HDR algorithm applied. The radius is too big so there are obvious halos in the sky around the trees. --Ikiwaner 15:05, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your comments; you don't see CA or distortion now because I've uploaded a new version with a better projection . . . I made a stitching error before. You're right about the halos, of course, which I don't know how to fix or to avoid, :-/ Maedin 15:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can eventually create a new image at higher-resolution for printing purposes and re-submit (yes the current size works fine when shown on LCD).

It doesn't match the general tone of the image, and I have seen such spots often in old books. Yann 22:10, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I had a closer look at the original. I think Yann is right, it is probably a kind of a decolorisation or dirt.--Harke (talk) 17:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

It is a nice view, and I regret to see that panoramic software issues let you down. Personally I am using Hugin and at least since version 0.7.0 the quirks you got are non-issues for me. -- Klaus with K 09:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
I've tried the program you recommended, but the result I got is highly posterized image (with default settings applied). Maybe I should read some tutorials, but I don't have time for that now. I've fixed what I could with PS, and replaced image with a new version. Cheers. --Lošmi 15:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

    • Yes, it was alive. I have no idea what the green drop is or why the eye is damaged Alvesgaspar 21:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose A studio shot? I don't understand the lighting and shadows. But a most remarkable find, this insect appears to be a hybrid with pairs of wings on each side from different, but related insects ? It is possibly my ignorance, but I expect insect wing vein patterns to be the same on each side.
    Difference left & right wings
    Apart from the differences in size of the two pairs of wings and other details which might somehow be put down to angles, twisting etc, I have highlighted two examples of details that I think ought to be the same, but have the sort of differences that distinguish different sub-species. So I don't know what is going on, its not April 1st, is this a test? Is there a local lad who pulls wings off dragonflies then glues them back together and sets them free? I oppose on the grounds of undisclosed manipulation of this reviewers mind ;-) --Tony Wills 11:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
    •  Info -- This is not a studio shot, the dragonfly was alive when the shot was taken and the output was not manipulated in any way. Also, I'm not a pupil of Dr. Frankensein and genetic manipulation to produce freak creatures is not my speciality. I'm confident it is a male Onychogomphus sp. but can't go further with the id. Yes, the lighting could be better and the background is horrible, but that doesn't affect the clear depiction of the body and wings. -- Alvesgaspar 16:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
      •  Comment Yes, there is no sign of stitches holding it together :-). My incorrect assumption was fueled by my trying to identify wasp species where such differences were very significant. I do wonder whether they have green blood because that large area of green gunk coincides with a badly deformed part of the wing where the vein edges are crinkled and curved - perhaps George is right, he has been in a war. --Tony Wills 21:15, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

This nest was located in a community vegetable garden. After the birds left the nest the gardner reclaimed the spot by planting a tomato plant.

    That's what macrophotography does with a tiny but relatively thick object. Did you notice there are even single cells visible on this image? Moreover, windy conditions often preclude slower shutter speeds.
    something wrong with the signature here. Back to the subject. If at least the whole Labellum were in focus, but it is not.--Mbz1 19:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Yes, the difficulty of macro photography in the field! The detail is good, but the low depth of field really means it can not be described as a good photo of the flower as a whole, you could crop the image to just highlight the in focus detail, but those parts are really in isolated regions around the edges so you still end up with most of the image out of focus --Tony Wills 23:00, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

  •  Comment Sorry, I didn't mean it too sound like that. :) The OTRS template is there because we put the photos on our website too and due to this discussion we've done the OTRS procedure so that nobody has doubts whether I am authorised to upload the photos or not. And there are two authors because we share our work and take photos alternetely (not one by one, of course) so after an hour of intensive taking photos there's no way of telling who took this photo and who took that, so we share our rights.

I used a extreme wide angle lens to avoid the problems with the trees, but this photo by mbdortmund is clearly the best solution. -- Smial 08:35, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Promotion  Comment Aesthetically good view. Overcontrasted and blurred for me --George Chernilevsky 10:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment 10 mm APS-C and f=10 is blurred? Overcontrasted with a camera that is constructed to have a wider dynamic range than most dSLR cameras? I see! ;) BTW: I used a polarizer. --EvaK 21:58, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Neutral Good colors exposure, but quite unsharp (yes, it's possible to make unsharp pictures with any aperture), lacking details. --Afrank99 20:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
  • There's no "blur". The photographer has used a DSLR which has a strong anti-alias filter to prevent moiré and which works by softening the input. "It's not a bug, it's a feature." Fuji expects the user to sharpen the image in post-processing. Too strong sharpening introduces artifacts, though, so many pros have a conservative approach to sharpening, like EvaK. In this case she has submitted an updated version with stronger "unsharp masking" (USM) parameters. I have tried Adobe Photoshop CS3 "Sharpen" with the original on my PC and it looked even better and comparatively sharp to many Quality Images. As I like the scene generally (content, colors, exposure) this nomination gets my

    • Well, I don't care why it is unsharp, but it is unsharp. And there's noise in the shadows on the right. It's a very good photograph as such, but technically it's inferior (and that's a pity). I cannot agree that unsharp masking improves it (I tried it myself), there is simply details missing. Maybe somebody should get Eva a better cam or lens? ;-) --Afrank99 16:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
      • Softer images have been promoted recently, quality guidelines are applied rather arbitrarily. Why are you picking on this one? If the MediaWiki software was better I'd continue our little discussion with 100% crops to prove that sharpness is sufficient here. --Iotatau 16:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
        • You are right, I'm too picky on this one (and the other). (change to neutral), but it is unsharp and noisy. --Afrank99 19:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

    • Did you have a look at the first image version? The "noise" in the sky is a sharpening artefact, I suppose. I would love to play with a RAW version of this image, if there was any. --Iotatau 19:42, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
      • There is one. --EvaK 08:12, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
