Comment Really horrifying/creepy image of the small life. There are several stacking errors and halos in the image. Can these be fixed? --Cart (talk) 21:40, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think what you call the minus is nothing but the pluses of this image:) JukoFF (talk) 22:06, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just like Cmao20 correctly said below. I thought it was obvious that I meant that the subject in the photo is horrifying and creepy. The photo itself is good except for the small things I mentioned. --Cart (talk) 22:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you indicate where exactly you saw the stacking errors? Because I can't see anything. Looks like everything has been removed. Shapomacro (talk) 06:18, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of them are right in the middle of the photo, on the back of the beetle. Water drops and ridges on the back shield are double, and there is an unsharp murky area just below the beetle. --Cart (talk) 11:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but these are not staking problems. This is how it was in nature. It's about the drops. In fact, you are probably 1 in 1000 who would be able to notice something like this. I've seen photos of worse quality than this. Shapomacro (talk) 19:11, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think Cart meant the creepiness as a positive. Not all images have to evoke pleasant emotions. This is certainly striking enough to pass. I agree about the stacking errors and worth contacting the nominator about that Shapomacro, your pic is great but would be likelier to pass if those could be improved. Maybe others in the community could help if they could see the original files, I'm afraid I have no experience with focus stacking myself. Cmao20 (talk) 22:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, the author of the photo is unlikely to appear on Commons ever again :( JukoFF (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Yes, the stacking is poor but the source images are not sharp enough (1/160 sec - presumably on a tripod). It is oversaturated, possibly because of use of flash. I cxan't work out what's going on with the beetle's legs. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
