  • Nomination Cuernos del Paine, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile --Poco a poco 10:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline The foreground red thing is very distracting, please get rid of it. Mattbuck 15:34, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
    ✓ Done Poco a poco 18:44, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
    Better, but I'm not convinced by the JPEG quality, perhaps someone else has an opinion? Mattbuck 07:07, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Too much CA at the mountains to the right. --Esquilo 11:06, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose CAs are not the problem for me. The photo is somehow overprocessed: Strange (sharpening?) artefacts are visible in the foreground and on the mountains. --Tuxyso 08:59, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose CA and jagged edges (oversharpened). --Iifar 18:47, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

    It's better, no doubt, but not QI. Significant noise now, and it still looks weird in places. Mattbuck 07:14, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Spanish rock group M Clan during their tour. --Kadellar 17:14, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Noise and lowsize --The Photographer 17:59, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
    Have you ever taken a picture in a concert in a dark place?? This noise is more than acceptable. And size is 2,43 Mpx, well above the limit. --Kadellar 22:02, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  • No problem with size. The problem here is not the overall noise (noise on main subject is OK) but the massive color noise in the dark areas (possibly due to small sensor size). Have you tried some NR techniques? --Tuxyso 08:04, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
  • The PowerShot G11 has a small sensor and it is a CCD, not a CMOS, so it is very prone to noise. The same photo taken with a DSLR would probably be a lot better. --Esquilo 10:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
    • But usually they won't let you in with a DSLR, that's the problem... I have reduced noise, but it's better to leave some noise there rather than losing detail on the main subject. --Kadellar 13:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
      • Just buy a cheap Leica M9, problem solved :) --Tuxyso 08:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Nomination Enchanted Forest, Garajonay National Park, La Gomera, Spain --Poco a poco 13:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Oppose Well that's a... mess. Decline on ground of pixellation and CA. --Mattbuck 07:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
    My current monitor is not the biggest but I cannot see the problems you mention. Could you add 2 notes? Poco a poco 19:47, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
    I have seen your note and I am quite confused, the CA was minor and the pixelation, as well. I uploaded a new version addressing the CA and I would like to hear what others say, if you don't mind. Poco a poco 20:48, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support I see no CA problems. IMHO the photo is a bit oversharpened (some "saw teeth" are visible at the branches of the tree). Still OK for QI. --Tuxyso 08:07, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support I can't find no CA, but it is a bit oversharpened. Particularly noticeable on the nearest branch because it is slightly out of focus. --Esquilo 11:04, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Weak oppose Jagged edges due to oversharpening. --Iifar 18:02, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  Support - I'm relieved it's covered. --Mattbuck 07:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - I disagree. Main object "Ditching Button" unsharp, bad lighting, too shallow DOF --Smial 11:01, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
    I should point out that you just disagreed with me being glad the button to vent the air from the cabin is covered. Mattbuck 07:12, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Intended main object (button) is too small. Thus also the enviornment of the button should be sharp. Perspective is not optimal. --Tuxyso 08:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Weak oppose The short DoF serves the purpose to highlight the main subject. However, it is not in focus. Focus is on the LDG-elevation knob. --Esquilo 12:09, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - I disagree. DOF. --Smial 14:27, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I personally (in contrary to many others) like photos with a shallow depth of field. DoF would be perfect if focus had been with the same camera setting on the eyes (stressing your topics "mediating") and not on the beard. --Tuxyso 08:01, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Review
  • This image with a right focus and could be FP!!, Very nice composition --The Photographer 19:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment It could be QI, if you can remove jagged edges and CA. --Iifar 19:16, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
    •  Oppose until it's not fixed. --Iifar 18:43, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but I have to  Oppose this. It is very dramatic, and I like it, but detail at the end is lost to overexposure. Mattbuck 15:47, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support Wounderful colours. Good composition. Difficult lightning conditions well handled. --Esquilo 10:43, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose If the RAW file is available, decreasing exposure by 1/3 or 1/2 f-stop should correct some clipping in higlights. CA should be removed. Overall sharpness is not breathtaking but acceptable, also noise is ok. Very impressing composition and beautiful lighting, it's worth to rework it. -- Smial 13:24, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support With such high contrast, a little bit of clipping is not such a big deal, and in fact an image with no clipping might look flat. --King of Hearts 19:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Weak  Support Agree with KoH. The loss of sharpness at the end of the corridor does not justify a decline IMO Poco a poco 18:08, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

  •  Support I often use HDR technique and I think this is a good one. Level of details of the high left building could be better.

    "Bad" is a bit harsh, I prefer "unfortunate" / "could be better". It was a trade-off betweeen great expression and crop - I've underestimated the beak's size, but I think it's still OK, let's discuss. --Tuxyso 22:11, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
    Ok, let's say unfortunate to be politically correct, but you know what I mean and I don't pretend to be harsh (Schade, das der Schnitt unglücklich ist). --Kadellar 22:55, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
My point was not political correctness, I think it is a difference in the assesment to say a crop is "bad" (like fail) or a crop is unfortunate (could be better, but possibly other factors like sharpness, motive, colors can compensate this minor issue). With a still object (a building, a studio shot) I had also declined such a crop, with an vivid animal portrayal I had only declined if something is really cutted (this is not the case here). --Tuxyso 07:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

  •  Oppose the importance is with the internal information of the mouth rather than the edge of the beak, I can understand the implication of deciding based solely on the composition, if this is as it came from the camera its not a crop issue. Though possibly a narrow crop that focuses on the mouths internals could be the making of a QI Gnangarra 13:23, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
