•  Info Peter Buck of R.E.M.. Created by Jmabel - uploaded by Jmabel - nominated by Jmabel -- Jmabel ! talk 01:12, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- Jmabel ! talk 01:12, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Neutral - Subject not as bright to where it can stand out, in my opinion. Also the blurry-like artifacts due to underexposure. Understood that a dark environment would be expected, but I think a sharper image can be achieved. Good image anyways. --ZooFari 01:33, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
  • FWIW, given that he was performing, not posing, exposure was probably the maximum possible in the circumstances with that camera and lens. 1/60 sec at F/4.8, ISO 3,200. Also FWIW, if anyone can suggest anything that would allow things to be pushed even further for a concert shot like that, I'd be genuinely interested in learning. - Jmabel ! talk 04:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
    • An f2.8 or brighter lens together with a low-noise-at-high-iso body like the Nikon D3s!? bamse (talk) 09:52, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

 Oppose Some artifacts and underexposed. Low ISO values should be used to minimize noise levels (the high levels are used for marcophotography and moving subjects). Observe the lightning in the venue and time your photos accordingly.--Snaevar (talk) 12:30, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose: Picture seems dark. I don't think this is the best picture to represent the subject. --Another Believer (talk) 18:53, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose I wouldn't mind if it's dark. That would be suitable for the 'subject'. But the strong noise and lack of sharpness is a no go for me. --Niabot (talk) 19:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
• Clearly going against, perfectly glad to withdraw the nomination, but as for the remark above about "high levels are used for marcophotography (sic) and moving subjects": this was a moving subject. 1/60 sec is certainly the longest exposure I would venture to use to photograph a rock musician while he was performing, and even then you have to really pick your moment. - Jmabel ! talk 00:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the focus is on the shoulder and not on the face, low details due to heavy noise because of the high ISO used and the image is posterized in some areas.
