Info Category Commons:Featured pictures/Other lifeforms#Algae. Unlike plants on land, things growing in the sea are in constant motion, especially algae that grow in the tidal zone with waves lapping. To get a short enough exposure time without a too high ISO, a tradeoff with DoF had to be done even if this was shot on one of the sunniest days in years.

Question I quite like the second picture but not at all the first one on the left. Is it possible to split our votes ? :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:56, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not in a vote for a set, but I tend to feel similarly. I think that if these two photos are made into a single composite photo, that could be a good VI (VIC doesn't accept sets anymore because of some technical problem). I'd consider supporting the second photo for FP, but probably not the first. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:42, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm a little surprised by this. Normally voters tend to want plants to be at their best, looking as good and natural as possible. In this case that would be the left photo, I thought it would be the right one that would have a hard time. But if it is the general feeling, sure, I can withdraw this and submit just the right-hand one. That would also leave me free to later submit a photo of the high tide version that I think is better, just not as an identify species photo. --Cart (talk) 15:07, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I actually like the lefthand one more ... the other one has some sections of the plant that seem posterized. Daniel Case (talk) 20:22, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel, the parts of the algae that are not filled with the produced oxygen are thin as film, so a couple of layers of them, as there is in some places, creates a very homogenous patch that looks like a posterized part. That's what's happening. Not the easiest growing thing to deal with though. Anyway, it might be better to do these one by one. --Cart (talk) 20:36, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination Let's try them one by one instead. --Cart (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
