  • I beg your pardon, do you really believe that this picture could serve as an advertisment of some sort for assault rifles? Airwolf (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I reduced some noise File:Casing edit1.jpg.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

The sharp boundaries between the noisy and denoised areas in your version look kind of weird to me. Also, the shadow areas remain quite noticeable noisy. I suspect it might be better to just denoise everything, or at least be more careful with the blending. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

In regards to the noise, I ask that reviewers remember FP standards which state: "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph." Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 02:17, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

•  Support I thought this was already featured, otherwise I would have nominated it myself (I know, I'm a sucker for punishment :P) Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 14:34, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
  • You are. Bend over, Junior. Airwolf (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support I don't like weapons, but this is FP. Noise isn't a problem for a picture like this, IMO --Cesco77 (talk) 15:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support good shot! --George Chernilevsky (talk) 16:48, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I agree with Kallerna --kaʁstn 17:34, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Amazing shot. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose as per Lycaon and Mbdortmund. Yann (talk) 22:23, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support per Lycaon, Mbdortmund and Yann. I was initially unaware of the image's connection to US war propaganda and the murder of infants with assault weapons. But, since it was pointed out, I'd like to vote my full support for both principles. Bullzeye (talk) 05:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Albertus teolog (talk) 13:21, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Weak Support Shot has lots of wow, value, and the noise is heavy but not overly distracting for me. As for the war propaganda and weapons marketing... does this apply to every image of a gun? If so, we have a lot of war propaganda on Wikimedia. --Relic38 (talk) 04:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support (Judging only the picture itself) Great shot. Noise is okay to me. --NEUROtiker ^⇌ 09:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral for now. Good photo, but I do think some careful denoising could make it even better. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral Good composition, not really propaganda IMO, but as others have pointed out noise is a big problem. -- JovanCormac 07:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support the wow overrides the noise concerns IMO. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Karel (talk) 20:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Amazing --Mardetanha ^talk 02:20, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
