Oppose really low quality on the flower. Charles (talk) 09:36, 6 November 2017 (UTC)- Oppose I'm afraid I agree - I don't even see how this one got past QIC.--Peulle (talk) 09:45, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- What's the issue? Focus? F/5.6 was chosen for maximum bokeh, to separate the flower from the background. And in future please be more constructive - "low quality" doesn't help me improve my images -- Thennicke (talk) 12:28, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Thennicke and Selbymay: Sorry if I didn't explain, but there are many problems which should not be present in an FP nomination. There is no definition: A 600mm lens is completely inappropriate for a shot of flower. There is poor DoF: F5.6 is inappropriate for a shot of flower. Processing: there appears to be extensive poor quality processing on the flower head. I also don't find the composition attractive - the balance is wrong for me and the cut-off stem is unattractive, but that isn't my reason for opposing. Charles (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Comment For me, the focus is off. Both flowers appear to be out of focus, the right one definitely so. As such, I feel it fails on technical quality.--Peulle (talk) 15:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oh okay. Well I deliberately went for 600mm f/5.6 so as to maximise the separation of the plant from the background. Perhaps I should've done a focus stacking shot and these sharpness issues wouldn't be there. -- Thennicke (talk) 04:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- Support Very nice shot with a good emphasization of the plant. The sharpness seems good enough to me, for QI as for FP. --Selbymay (talk) 13:47, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The image lacks quality. There is no sharpness. Also this does not seem to be a FP candidate. Sorry!!! --Sanjay Acharya (talk) 18:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination -- Thennicke (talk) 04:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
