Oppose - As Lycaon, did you notice the distorted girl in the alley? Also, next time try not to center the composition -- Alvesgaspar07:47, 29 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, :-) Maedin11:28, 29 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. --Ikiwaner15:05, 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, :-/ Maedin15:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, yes, actually. Small areas of blown highlights can be excused in, say, clouds, but usually unacceptable on the subject itself, especially if the subject is animalia, on which you would require no loss of detail.

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)

Comment I presumed you're not talking about the damaged and malformed edges, so I again looked at the fine detail of the cells.

Comment It is a biological thing. Sometimes birds do not return to their nests when it was disturbed. So even when you took great care to make a picture of this nesting, others may take this as an example and be careless. Nothing personal meant. Lycaon 22:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Comment This story has a happy ending, but as Lycaon pointed out that is not always the case. All eggs hatched and the young are now running around with their parents. 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. I knew of two nests in the garden and in both cases the birds had become accustom to the gardeners.

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 The guys from the "Fotowerkstatt" say that this image does not need to be corrected. The translated quote would be: You would offend the author (if you would try to fix whatever) --D-Kuru 20:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment Well, it must have needed a bit of correction, because Smial very kindly removed the two dust spots that I had noticed. I don't mind if the noise removal isn't done, it's acceptable as it is. My main concern was with the dust spots. Maedin 16:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Comment Sorry, but I don't really understand. Am I not a user with a Wikimedia account? Airwolf 20:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment Yes, but it looks like you uploaded, and didn't actually take the picture. Why are two authors listed, one of whom is not a Wikimedian? Uploading is not enough for QI, you need to be the author. Maedin 20:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment But the template says it quite clearly: Author=[[User:Airwolf|Łukasz Golowanow]] & Maciek Hypś. See? Airwolf. That's me. Airwolf 12:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment Lol, yes, I can see that, of course, I'm not so stupid ;-). Were you both holding the camera? Why is there an OTRS permission? If it's solely yours, why would that be needed? It would be your own work and your own upload? I'm not suggesting that you aren't the author, I'm trying to understand why, if you are, there are two authors listed? Isn't that a simple question? Maybe someone else would like to put me right. Maedin 16:13, 22 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. Airwolf (talk) 17:04, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment Gotcha! Then it sounds cool to me. I apologise if I asked for more information than you wished to give, but I at least hope you appreciate that it did look a little odd. On the other hand, maybe I really am just thick, ;-) Anyway, I think it's a good photo. Support. Maedin 17:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

OpposeNeutral 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 Support --Iotatau 12:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
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)
