Comment - Pleasing composition but I find my eye wandering out of the top of frame, although this may not be the best place to add a vignette to fix that. Can I ask why you used f/8? Were you after those trees in focus or a case of f8 and be there? - Flying Freddy (talk) 14:39, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Because f/8 is generally the sharpest aperture you can have on most lenses, and the standards of landscape photography are that everything must be in focus. Diti the penguin

- I'm assuming you're not a sock of Tomas? In which case I was more after his intentions than a lesson on standards of landscape photography. It seems to me that if your justification was correct he'd be shooting at around f/11 if scared of diffraction or whatever he could push the f-stop to whilst keeping the subject sharp if not. Furthermore your comment indicates you believe pretty much all work by pictorial photographers is "wrong", there are styles apart from Adams and Weston style techniques. I was interested more if there was a compositional rather than technical reason though. Flying Freddy (talk) 16:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Flying Freddy: many comments possible... Canon 50D, due to chip design and according to some "experts" with apertures smaller than f8 produce blurry images... f8 is generally the optimum aperture in most lenses... in this case, focusing on the fisherman, from where I was, and considering the hyperfocal distance, everything was bound to come out sharp... and yes, I desired that in order to place the subject within the physical context where he works, etc... In short, I wanted a sharp picture because this is a picture of a fisherman, a fishing method and a fishing environment... basically an informative picture. As far as f8, that is generally my prefered aperture, I seldom use smaller apertures, and depending on the desired effect, lens, etc., I open up from there...--Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the explanation. Would you be tempted to clone out the small dark branch on the lower RHS?
- Support Technically not brilliant, but strong composition is much more interesting than uninterestingly composed technical perfection. Flying Freddy (talk) 16:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
