  • Decline
  •  Oppose Below 2MP, looks like unnecessary downsampling. --Dschwen 13:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Sorry but what maths did you do to work out that 2,083,750 is less than 2mp? It's a night time shot of a wild bird with a camera that is terible for noise and wouldn't focus on the bird because the eye was the only thing that had enough contrast, I think I was lucky to salvage anything.Benjamint444 10:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I think this also needs to be perspective corrected – if your original has the room for that. As it stands it's cramped and needs room to breathe: the slanted lines and tight crop increase the tension and steal the attention from the main subject, the statues. Dilaudid 11:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Vassil 09:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Discussion Noisy at full resolution (especially the background). But because of nice composition, colours and cute subject: just acceptable for QI. -- MJJR 20:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)  Oppose Sorry, but IMHO no attribute makes up for this amount of noise. Also to my eye the background weakens the composition. –Dilaudid 04:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Mumford Hall, University of Illinois. --Dschwen 15:39, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  •  Oppose I very much dislike the composition and the building appears to be tilted, sorry.--Massimo Catarinella 16:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment IMO it is not tilted. And if the oppose reason amounts to something as fuzzy as disliking the composition then I'd prefer some more opinions (even if it gets rejected anyways) --Dschwen 17:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Neutral It is not tilted. It has a perspective that I don't like, but technically it is QI, but because of the 'not like' part I'll refrain from voting. I'm sure someone will support... Lycaon 19:14, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • While it could be argued that none of the dust spots are worth repairing, I found several (and marked) that I would not have downloaded and marked without the more obvious ones. Not found in this image was UFO landing sign in the clouds (I looked carefully). Are all little blurry dark spots in images going to be birds now? The stitching is nice, however, I also suggested a cropline. -- carol (talk) 11:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Info uploaded an edit. Sensor dust removed, perspective corrected using hugin, cropped the beautiful clouds (sigh ;-) ). --Dschwen 14:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  • It was a nice sky, maybe put the statue of liberty behind it? -- carol (talk) 17:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
     Support Eh, I forgot to vote. Technically the original has fallen into "decline", I am not certain what to do with the number of days and the new upload. And, additionally, I slept through when the nit-picky closure occurred. Now that we are all seemingly non-productive nit-pickers what to do about this? -- carol 04:49, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
    withdraw this one, and nominate the edit for a fresh start? --Dschwen 12:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
I have had every single thing I have done which was not to an image or a category questioned and the absolute worst assumed and without asking the people it was done to first for so long now -- It seems really stupid to do that with this image, it is ready to leave the page now. I am going to vote favorably for it, with the great wish that others who only have rules, assumptions of badness and little else to communicate will also drop in, vote favorably for it so it can get the hell off the QI page and make room for more -- carol 13:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Both of the vertical edges had extra stuff on them. The little black spots are not what I was talking about. I originally thought that the spots I was seeing mostly in sky photographs was clone tool mark. I have seen evidence that it is probably dust spots on the lens. I saw a few areas in the sky of this image which have that quality to it. A dust spot on the lens would diffuse the light it was collecting from a distance. A clone tool could also make the same effect. -- carol (talk) 05:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I like the composition and the colours. But there is a lack of detail (Lyacons sharpness issue). I don't think it's postprocessing it's the lens. --Ikiwaner 07:53, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Great, I think I understand now. Do you think this is something that can be ameliorated by lens settings (aperture, VR) or do you think it's just not a very good lens (it isn't). Unfortunately, I'm no longer near this subject, so I can't take it again, but I can try on other subjects. Basar 17:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
      • Are your images consistantly this blurry? Given the distance of the subject and the aperture, you should be getting more sharpness. For stuff like this, where your subject is basically at infinity, I'd just set the lens to somewhere past hyperfocal distance (there may be markings on the lens to help estimate this), which I generally find more reliable than autofocus. Thegreenj 03:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
        • Maybe. I'm going to play around with the manual focus some to try to figure out the cause. Thanks. Basar 03:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Personnally I try to avoid such high perspective corrections because the church towers start looking unnatural then (see my ugly example).
