  •  Comment Now this was a lowligth task. Handheld @ ISO 1600, 1/6 s, 32 mm. Full size, croped. Minor sharpening attached.
  •  Support -- Mile (talk) 14:51, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose symmetry, vignetting, sharpening --The Photographer (talk) 16:02, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info The Photographer symmetry: yes its off centre shot; vignetting: no its croped, cant see one (but you got confused by ligth distribution, check here). Sharpneing : too minor too see any atrefacts, so let me see where do you see problem. Mosaics are rare here, you are used to frescos etc, however those piece of stones are put into the wall and they wont be perfect planar, so many different reflections are to be seen. You got self confused here with "sharpening". Soo here are some other photos, too see what one migth think are sharpening atrefacts, these are very "orignal" i suppose no sharpening see here, and here. Pieces of mosaic wont be alligned perfectly into the wall, hence different reflextion of ligth...which some could easily misunderstood for "sharpening". As you did, Wilfredo. --Mile (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I understand your point about symmetry, however, my vote is mainly due to the general lack of quality, the picture is not entirely clear (or sharp), just 5-axis is not enough, I consider it necessary to use tripod and low ISO. --The Photographer (talk) 20:21, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Tripods are forbidden there, as in many museums and i respect that. I try to find any similar size of it on Google, Flickr to show you that quality is more than good. Mosaic is as on photo, even in very good shape for 1500 years old. Eyes of Shepard look a bit strange, it is so in original, can be seen on other linked photos also. I see you did some homework, just finish it. You see EXIF, if you would like to have that DOF on your FF, you should go to ISO 6400. Then calculate IS for f rule ? None ? This tourist cam is called micro 4/3, you know Wilfredo they put 5-axis with reason, they exmaine rectal tract in medicine, and beleive me, you wouldnt like to hear for FF there without image stabilization. But look on the brigth side, it helped to deliver this mosaic. --Mile (talk) 21:28, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In most museums I visited tripods are prohibited, so it is important to carry a letter with the formal support of the local chapter to do it, and wait for the answer. I do not know if this is the case, there are museums that under no cirscunstancia tripods accept, however, you tried to send this letter?. You can see a example on spanish in the permission section of this image --The Photographer (talk) 16:23, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you want and you have a RAW file, I could try help you with the quality. --The Photographer (talk) 20:13, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Would it be possible to sharpen it a bit? Especially the mosaic stones need it I suppose in order to be recognized as such. Besides that, I really like your photo! --Tremonist (talk) 12:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
