Question - Help us (or me, anyway) with this, please. Most of the picture is blurry. Why is this a good Featured picture candidate? I understand having a singular focus on a small insect, with the rest of the picture blurred, but surely, that isn't essential for photos of people, right? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:28, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I consider this a good environmental photo, that shows scientist in action (read: lepidopterist in his natural habitat). Quality of the image is definitely good and it has a fine size. Composition is good. It is certainly interesting and (at least for me) it clearly has wow. Focus is set to the person (i.e. the subject is in focus). I see no reason for everything else to be sharp as well as it would not help the man to stand out that easily and would not give anything new to the image. We could argue, that the image/main subject might be do dark due to the late hour when it was taken (likely at sunset), but for me this could be the only reason not to select it to be FB. But then again, this is just my opinion and everyone is entitled to his or her own. Kruusamägi (talk) 04:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Your reply is much appreciated, and I thought long and hard but have decided to oppose featuring this. I understand that deliberate blurring is appreciated by many photographers and viewers, and I'm often holding back on voting against pictures with bokeh that bugs me but doesn't make me physically dizzy, but I just don't get a "wow" from this photo. Sorry. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:43, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Ikan. The image is not clear enough to me at first glance due to all the different elements vying for my attention. And I can't tell it's someone with a net at first. When there's this level of confusion, I'm not wowed. Daniel Case (talk) 06:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good example of bokeh and DoF but not enough detailed for FP and a bit too noisy. --Laitche (talk) 10:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
