  •  Comment - This is certainly a valuable photo, and I'd be inclined to support it for FP, too, except that I tend to think a set nomination of all the individual frames would be more useful. I feel similarly about a VI nomination, but unfortunately, VI sets are no longer awarded because of some kind of technical glitch. What does everyone think about a set nomination vs. one of this collage? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:21, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In a set nomination, every single photo needs to have FP quality and I think this series might fall a bit short there, but taken as a whole in this collage, it is an outstanding documentation. (Although I agree a bit with Mile regarding some fixes.) Also, the individual photos are there if just one of them is needed. --cart-Talk 18:53, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your answer, cart, but I have trouble understanding how the lesser degree of detail in a collage could make it a better FP than a set of full-size pictures would be. Are you making a case for downsizing pictures for them to look sharper? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:45, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I hadn't got to the size part yet, merely commenting on the scenes/photos/collection as such. You are reading far too much into my comment. :) Of course the FP collage (or each individual photo) should have as large resolution as possible but a smaller version can also be useful since it uploads easier. Sort of like this big one which is a crop from an even bigger file but also exists in a smaller more usable version. --cart-Talk 20:23, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Do you have the RAW files of each image? (I could help you to fix light problems) and more important, could you upload each image separately in full resolution? --The Photographer 19:58, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The collage, particularly since each source image has also been uploaded (though I suspect they are not at full resolution). I think it is fine to present an arrangement like this (my own File:Epilobium hirsutum - Seed head - Triptych.jpg). Users have the option to arrange differently if they want, but each individual image is not FP quality. Ikan, I don't think this is about downsizing as there isn't any need to downsize when creating a collage, other than perhaps to ensure the subject, when cropped, is proportioned appropriately. A set nomination would not then be appropriate, but we can celebrate this one in the knowledge that the individual frames are also available. -- Colin (talk) 20:08, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This montage is from 2017 but the individual pictures were taken in 2012, and at this time I only shot in JPG (mid res) not in RAW. But the reason why the size of the assemblage is not so large in pixels compared to 3 times the size of each is because all the individuals have been cropped to fit with the subject, as you can see for example on the image 4/9 where the house behind the cow has disappeared on the montage. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:45, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
