  Oppose .. and too dark and the dark parts noisy --Cccefalon 06:36, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •   I withdraw my nomination The darkness is intentional, since it shows how dark it is inside a Tudor barn which uses only natural lighting. The noise and sharpness however, is a huge problem. --Lewis Hulbert 10:16, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I disagree. What is your criterion to say it is unsharp. The object has the size of 10x 5 cm and has been scanned at 1600 dpi (it is albost under the microscope!) --Moroder 14:03, 5 February 2014 (UTC)  Comment Is the object flat or 3D?

  • Mattbuck_ dustspots removed --Taxiarchos228 19:48, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
    I have removed a few more, unfortunately this means I can not support this image. Mattbuck 21:49, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
great job (ironic) you have overwritten a version with dustsports over my version without. better you are concentrating on other pictures and let my alone. --Taxiarchos228 20:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
I saved the latest version and edited that, and turned up contrast specifically so I could find the dust spots more easily. You whinge that I don't remove them myself, then you whinge when I do. Quit being such a jerk about things. Mattbuck 21:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

    done. you´re counting pixels, aren`t you?`--Taxiarchos228 20:41, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
    No, I'm not. I just look at the image. Mattbuck 17:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

But you obviously do not look very carefully at your votings and to change them after the correction. And what you call looking just at an image I call blowing up a trivia. --Taxiarchos228 19:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

  •   Comment Please gentlemen, stick to facts! --P e z i (talk) 21:08, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
sadly, this are facts --Taxiarchos228 08:44, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Mattbuck again: why aren`t you chancing your contra-voting although you know the base is not valid any more? --Taxiarchos228 21:27, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Right, so, let me get this straight. You nominate an image with elementary errors for QI. I point out those elementary errors, which are by any standards disqualifying, and because I do that I am... what... persecuting you? Letting details cloud the greater fact? You know what? QI is all about details. Anyone can point a camera at something, get the focus about right and press the shutter. The point of QI is that the images will be of excellent quality, beyond the ordinary, and thus not having any but the most minor problems. Once you're talking QI scale, things like overexposure, incorrect rotation, cropping in the transparency, dust spots, blur - these are all problems which are disqualifying of a candidate image. I'm not being petty or picking on you for this sort of thing, as anyone who's been here a while knows, I'm an equal opportunity ass. If Poco had offered this image, I would have opposed. If Moroder has offered this image, I would have opposed. It doesn't matter who offers such an image, if it has such elementary mistakes it cannot be QI.
As for my not striking my oppose in what you consider a timely manner... yes, that is me intentionally persecuting you, because there is nothing I love more in life than arbitrarily taunting people I don't even know. Mattbuck 22:14, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Let me get this straight from my point of view. You often criticize petty points. And a hardly to see dust spot e.g. or a few pixel white background are such petty points you criticize. But you are absolutely entitled to criticize it if you discover it. No problem in general with this. By the way: if I discover small issues at QI I don´t give immediately an oppose but I note the issues. But the problem starts here: if you necessarily have to oppose then oppose. But then I expect that you monitor and review this cases and not ignore the correction like you do in many cases. So your apologize in the case below becomes sadly a farce and implausible. As I already said: your behavior does not improve the QI-standards but is a indication of lacking respect and fairness. Because your images are quite far away being that perfect you demand here for nomination. And your answer is nothing but an instance once again of the points I dislike in your "QI reviews". --Taxiarchos228 22:27, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Sidenote: wiki needs to invent a markup which means "the same indent as the last one".
I apologise for not looking back quickly enough, I don't always remember to look back, but I do try to. I don't always view QI every day for review purposes - I spend 5mins a day before work on nominating, then have a review session every couple of evenings. And I'm human, sometimes I miss things. I don't mean to be petty, and where I think an image is fixable I will comment rather than oppose. Apart from the mistaken crop, I thought this image was excellent, and all I wanted in this case was for that to be fixed. I will reconsider my attitude towards QI reviews, and try to be more courteous in future. Mattbuck 21:42, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
If it happen so this would be great (not ironic). --Taxiarchos228 20:02, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

  •   Oppose There are still some errors: Posterization of clouds, stitching error and haloing of the mountain ridge (the latter issue is not too strong). I made annotations. Perhaps you can do something to get rid of the flaws? --Cccefalon 19:37, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
  •   Done I retouched the clouds, thanks for the hint. In regard to the halo I have to repeat what I already explained several times on QIC that it is a halo of the size of 2-6 pixels(less than 1/1000 of the image size), it is unavoidable on this hi res pictures and it is more evident on strong light interfaces. If you look at this picture you see a halo on the roof of the same size (3-4 pixels) but it is less evident because the light contrast is less but in proportion to the total image size it is much bigger. Besides that, QI guidlines speak of "relevant" errors --Moroder 11:23, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support As I said, the mountain ridge issue is not too strong and not against promoting the photo. I know, that it occurs every now and then. I just mentioned it, as you were about to rework the photo and possibly you might have tackled it down. The really important flaws are resolved. --Cccefalon 14:45, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
