Info Dunes at Jalapão State Park, Tocantins, Brazil. This big landscape protection park lies in the municipality of Mateiros and encompasses a variety of landscape types, e.g. cerrado vegetation, sand dunes and plateaus. The original version of the photo, nominated here by ★, contains promiment CAs; this version has been edited to reduce CAs and noise and add a tiny little bit of sharpening. Created and originally uploaded by João D'Andretta – edited version uploaded and nominated by --Aristeas (talk) 14:01, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the beautiful texture of the dune ripples. Technically not perfect (a bit soft in the foreground bottom left), but this does not diminish the graphical beauty of the image. Would make a perfect wallpaper, album cover, etc. --Aristeas (talk) 14:01, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks a lot for the edits! It's perfect now! ★ 15:17, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment People are considering this perfect, so the red edges of the dunes, especially in the lower part of the photo, are definitely not chromatic aberration? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:23, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that's CA but left part and top right corner and easy to fixable, imho. --Laitche (talk) 14:38, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't we insist that they be fixed before supporting? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care about that CA but if you think so ... do so. --Laitche (talk) 16:26, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Very well; I dissent per above. And thanks for discussing this with me. By the way, it's very nice to have you back! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hello Ikan and Laitche, thank you for your comments! The original version contained very strong CAs. IMHO this version is already a solid improvement, it reduced the CAs by a large margin. It’s not as easy as usual to remove all CAs completely without damaging the image because the CAs have an uncommon colour (red instead of purple) which is not far away from the natural colour of the sand. However, I will look into this and see if we can reduce the CAs even more. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:59, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Dear @Ikan Kekek: Uploaded a new version with even more reduction of red CAs; I hope you like it better. – General mumbling: In the end it’s always the same story. These are (AFAIK) lateral CAs (LaCAs) and you can remove most LaCAs easily by applying a lens profile in the raw converter and/or by using an automatic option offered by most raw converters; and even if neither the one nor the other works, chances are good that one can remove the CAs easily manually during the raw development process. So it’s much easier for the original photographer to fix this. But some photographers don’t care for this. So we are laboriously trying to fix things in post which could have been much easier and better handled in the first place by the original photographers. One reason why some photographers do not care for this is the habit of some WLM/WLE/... juries to award prices to photos only on the base of the “wow”, without looking at the technical quality. This strange state of affairs gives photographers the impression that they do not need to care for CAs etc. --Aristeas (talk) 15:21, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
