Oppose Sorry, it is a good picture. It has everything : an interesting subject, a nice depth of field, but unfortunately I need the taxonomical name to support it. If the species name be included, I would change my vote to a support. Freedom to share17:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I even categorized it under the right genus, but forgot to add it to the description. Should be fixed now, sorry. --Nattfodd18:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Although there's no actual overexposure, if you check the histogram in Photoshop, the background does seem very washed out while the animal doesn't. Sorry, but the image doesn't look natural to me. --MichaelMaggs07:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Come to think of it, I don't know what MichaelMaggs means either... This certainly is not a photomontage, nor a heavily retouched picture. I have just done some levels and curves from the raw file. --Nattfodd09:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't 'insinuating' anything, but the image as it appears here does have a washed-out-looking background, probably because of the harsh lighting you mentioned below. Maybe some selective work on that in Photoshop would help. --MichaelMaggs20:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What specific "bad quality" are you refering to? The reindeer is sharp and well contrasted to the background. The lighting was pretty harsh when I took this shot (one of the rare sunny moments on the hike) and this is the colour of the vegetation on the slopes of Mt Kebnekaise. I really don't get what the criticism is all about. --Nattfodd19:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - There are two criticisms: one concerning the washed out background and the other the animal itself, which is somehow fuzzy and with poor detail. - Alvesgaspar20:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support It seems to me that the camera was panning which results in that object/background separation because none of the foreground or background seems to be in-focus. Not perfectly sharp, but an impressive image of a moving animal :-) --Tony Wills11:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Here comes a version with less washed-out background. I'm not completely sure it's really better than the original, but it's at least a good occasion to change the name... --Nattfodd16:19, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
