Oppose It's a well-chosen image of an (ahem) echt-German townscape, but ... while it has great EV for this it is also compositionally unexceptional (the technical way of saying "no wow") and in fact some of the foliage in the front is a little unsharp. Lovely color, I will say. Daniel Case (talk) 00:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- I understand your first point. "No wow" is a subjective matter, unfortunately I cannot change it - In the past I've also opposed due to "too less Wow", but most of these cases were less important single buildings photographed at neutral light. The point with the foliage is unclear to me: The foliage at the left front has nothing to do with the main motive (panoramic view) but has only the function to get an impression of the spatial distances - I see no reason why these should be as sharp as the houses. Does the term echt-German really exist?--Tuxyso (talk) 05:40, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Oppose The underexposed foliage on left top and bottom is distracting. I prefer this AOV. JKadavoor Jee 07:02, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the panorama you linked to is not convincing, especially regarding quality, composition is also not concvincing. I took a similar shot but unfortunately with distracting cars. I cannot really understand why the reviewers here focus on the (unimportant) leafs rather than on the motive. The leafs function only as framing to the panoramic view - this a quite common shooting techique (see comment above regarding spatial distances). Done Nonetheless I have slightly brightened the leafs in the foreground. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:21, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The crop on left is exactly as in the existing FP; but the "cut" legs due to the bottom crop can be improved. I like this crop than the existing FP; but that seems more detailed. I prefer the edit.

Neutral per Pine per Commons:Image guidelines:Focus and depth of field. DOF is a photographic choice; but the points Every important object on the picture should be sharp, considering the idea of the image. The overall image should have clearly defined focus are important for encyclopedic/educational medias. I will oppose if this is in EN:FPC; but here the usage has a more wide scope. J Kadavoor J e e 04:29, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Support -- Content is FP, I do not mind the slight absence of sharpness.--Telemaque MySon (talk) 10:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Support This is a great image with lovely colours and composition. I don't think we should demand focus-stacked images for in-the-field shots. Indeed, a stacked image with hyper-depth-of-focus can cause problems with our 3D depth perception of 2D images. This one is at F10 and going up to F16, say, might bring in more distracting background. en:WP:FP places too much emphasis on boring species-identification images that lack any composition qualities and not enough of behaviour or scene, and of course that is all irrelevant to COM:FP. Colin (talk) 13:15, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Focus -stacking is irrelevant here. Here the shallow DOF is probably due to the 100mm on a full-frame. Using a longer lens or on a cropped sensor camera will give better results. Boring is just a matter of interest; I usually get bored by subjects that I'm not interested (perspective, tilt, distortion, etc are quite boring for me) . BTW, this is a very interesting subject for me. J Kadavoor J e e 16:48, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Focus stacking is not "irrelevant" because folk are used to seeing focus stacked shots of insects and vote assuming that getting all of a wasp in focus is normal or even desirable. Also see this for why a change in lens focal length or sensor size wouldn't help here. I'm no bug expert so correct me if I'm wrong. But even if the DoF doubled from 0.5mm to 1mm it would make a tiny difference to whether the whole wasp is in focus or not. Look at the image as a whole, as a picture, not as a study in the technicalities of macro photography. This is an image Alvesgaspar should be proud of and if I had taken it, I would put in in a frame on my wall. Colin (talk) 07:29, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

No offence at all. I said focus-stacking is irrelevant here only because the subject seems moving. Reply on DOF and background blur. A tough topic; so I decided to read a lot prior to make any comment and ended up here: "If all other things being equal, a smaller format will generally have DEEPER depth of field and less background blur than a larger format. This makes sense because smaller format cameras use shorter focal lengths for the same field of view, and therefore similar f-stops mean a smaller physical aperture size: less blur." J Kadavoor J e e 06:25, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Interesting article, thanks. The chap doesn't touch on the issues of diffraction though, which appears to be what scares macro photographers off of using smaller apertures, and is an area where I understand full-frame has an advantage. It also generally has an ISO/noise advantage so one could use a smaller aperture (with higher ISO, say) and achieve equivalent diffraction softening and noise as the crop sensor. Also see this and this for why our diffraction fears are over emphasised. Alvesgaspar's D800 with a good lens can apparently outresolve at f22 a Canon 5Dmk3 at any aperture. So, it is complex! Colin (talk) 07:58, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Of course; but I wonder whether some reasons why many macro experts still prefer an APS-C. (And, see the comment of Ken Rockwell on diffraction: "For flat subjects, diffraction limits performance at f/16, it's stronger at f/22, and downright soft at f/32, but that's physics. The softening from diffraction at f/32 is less than the improvement you get to depth-of-field for 3-D subjects, and for most macro work, I shoot at f/32.") J Kadavoor J e e 11:31, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

@Jkadavoor & Colin: thank you for your interest, that is the best compliment for a creator! Concerning the type of camera used for macro, the real advantage in using a full frame type is the quality of the sensor (low noise and diffraction), not the size. The obvious disadvantage is the need for more light (because of the bigger lenses), in situations where light is almost always scarce, due to the need of using small apertures (for dof) and high shutter speeds (for sharpness). The type of lens to choose from depends very much on the situation, Yes, it is true that we get larger dof with small focal distances. But we are then forced, when photographing small subjects, to get very close to them. Which might be impossible (because they fly away) or dangerous (because then sting).

- @Wilfredor. No downsampling was done, just cropping. Please note that the magnification factor only depends on the lens, not on the sensor. The radius of the wasp nest is about 12-15 mm. With a full frame camera, a 1:1 macro lens and a small subject like this one, it is just not possible to fill the whole 24x36 frame with it because we can't bring the lens closer! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:19, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment Please use a more specific filename than just the date-time and the species order. We wouldn't accept "2013-05-14 15-32-31-primate.jpg" as a useful name for a portrait of a person. Colin (talk) 14:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- But many of our contributors are following such a naming convention. I think the main reason is because sometimes subjects are not well identified at the time of upload. Later, after several discussions even outside Wikimedia, they may identified up to a specific Taxonomic rank. Sometimes we made mistakes and corrected later. So renaming in every attempt is a bit annoying. But in my opinion, including the lowermost rank available at the time of upload in the file name is a good start. JKadavoor Jee 04:07, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
  - I don't think the order is remotely sufficient for FP. This is supposed to be our very best work. There are 150,000 species in Diptera. The flower example you give has the genus, of which there are only 100 species. Even so, since the flower has been identified, I do believe for FP we should attempt to improve the filename to the level of confidence. Also IMO it would better if the date/time and the subject were not joined with a dash - use a space so that search tools can find them as proper words. Colin (talk) 09:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
    - I'm not against your argument. I too against careless file-names, improper description, etc. My only argument is whether we need to rename it on every update, or keep the existing name and update the description and categories? BTW, this picture is identified to the species level. JKadavoor Jee 09:09, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
      - There is no advantage to keeping a poor name if a better name is possible. The rename facility will fix up links (at least within Wikimedia). If renaming is a hassle, then we should fix that problem, not just shrug and live with poor data. Ultimately the filename of the JPG may be the only identifying feature of this image should it be copied (per our free usage desire) or linked to -- the extra information in the text/categories on Commons description page is relevant to its storage here but not on its usage elsewhere. For example, Wikipedia would need to wikilink to it using the filename, which is unhelpful in letting anyone know the correct image was linked. I appreciate that if one has uploaded loads of images, then tweaking their filenames would be a fair bit of work. But here I'm interested in FP and for that we should certainly lead by example.

With that lens and a butterfly so small, a photo like this is not impossible, however, has cost me at least 60 shots to select from the same butterfly.

Not many butterfly and dragonfly photographers use macro lens due to their shallow DOF. In-fact a 300mm generic is their ideal choice as a compromise on DOF against details. Eric uses a Sigma 50-500 at its long end for his dragonflies. But there are exceptions like Dr. Saji who use a Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM for his butterflies. He is very famous for his Life Cycle series. A 100mm or shorter is not very helpful IMHO; except for small Lycaenidae. Just some viewpoints; there are different ideas.

Support I changed my idea. Alborzagros (talk) 08:08, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

While dust devils are common during the dry season in Etosha, it's rare to see one that runs right through a big group of animals that includes elephants, ostriches, zebras and springbok. In fact this is the only time I've seen a dust cloud hit an animal herd and coming straight for us. And this is a fairly big dust devil because the 4 elephants are dwarfed by the cloud. :) -- ~y (talk) 15:29, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Oppose I don't think it is FP. The crop is very tight and the image is overcompressed (or over-strong NR). Also, Poco a poco's edit has changed the colourspace from a sRGB to AdobeRGB which is a very bad idea for images on the Internet (see this for example). -- Colin (talk) 18:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

If the main reason for your oppose is the color space then you can reconsider your vote. I switched back to sRGB, as I also stated in my talk page (after your oppose, though), it was my mistake. Poco a poco (talk) 19:42, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
