Info Not another church ceiling. The ceiling of an old mechanical workshop, now used as a storage facility in Lysekil. The hall was used for cutting, welding and other kinds of hazardous industry, so the boards in the ceiling are covered with a very smooth layer of asbestos (some of them are still joined seamlessly) and they have been discolored by sparks, flames, soot and other not so nice things for decades. The strange splotches, colors and patterns in the ceiling are from this activity. The picture is stacked for light, focus and noise reduction by combining 17 photos as layers of varying degrees of transparency in Photoshop.

Oppose The composition doesn't work for me. There's too much clutter for the minimalism to work; the end of the ceiling in the bottom right corner is particularly distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:06, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I'm really not sure what to say, because maybe it sounds rude to say that I just don't find the photo interesting at all, but that's a fact. It goes beyond KoH's points about the composition: The subject itself is boring to me, so the composition would have to be fantastic to overcome that. Maybe better light, more colors, perhaps more vertical or horizontal lines, but something different. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:11, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't get this picture either. Sorry! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per King; although it is a marvelous demonstration of your focus-stacking skills. Daniel Case (talk) 07:47, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
At least you try stacking, which will bring something more, maybe not yet but soon. Adobe is very bad at this job, many mistakes, even when its "over" i need few days to solve mistakes. Aperture is no good option, it can change the time, so you must see if all are same time then. Normally i put M, set temperature on fixed number, set A and S and shot. My wish is to move them in Zerene or Helicon software. --Mile (talk) 08:31, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thank you all for your comments. Of course this is another one of my "outside the box" photos, my way of documenting and taking good photos of something that most folks would never think of pointing the camera at, since it has no pretty lights or colors. I find the lines and the industrial history imbedded in it interesting though. You don't have to "get" a pic like this at all, it's a photo of an industrial ceiling plain and simple, that's all. :) I also know that I'm not using the optimal software for the focus stacking, but it will do for now since I'm still learning. Using layers that I control myself has the advantage that besides picking the sharpest bits, I can also vary the transparency in parts of one layer and use it for NR or to adjust the light as well, something an automated process doesn't do. cart-Talk 09:42, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
