•  Comment Very nice photo with excellent lightning and colours. I wish the feathers on top of the helmet were sharper and I recommend cropping a little of the sky at the top. -- Slaunger 07:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Question What is it with the facial region around his eyes, which can be seen in full resolution? Is it a dermatological disease, make-up(!?) or a postprocessing artifact? -- Slaunger 20:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • yes this artifact and reflection of the helmet! artifact corrected --Luc Viatour 05:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Support --Leafnode 11:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)  Oppose Change of mind - as Sting noted, it's oversharpened. Correct this (upload unprocessed photo) and I'll change my vote --Leafnode 05:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose --The image has been way too much sharpened trying to lower the soft effect on the subject which still remains and so, heavy artefacts appeared around almost the whole subject, especially, but not only, around the feathers (bright ghost line at the limit of the dark / clear areas), and I hate this. Because of this, the quality of the file has been destroyed and the photograph wouldn't even be selected for an exhibition. Technically for me, not even a good picture. Sting 15:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S. : This is kind of process on a photograph made by newbie's who think that because they own a digital camera they turn photographers. Come on Luc, you're used to make much better work than this one, why did you destroy the quality on this one ?

•  Support Le précédent commentaire me semble un peu dur (et le P.S. était-il vraiment nécessaire ?). Superbe image comme d'habitude. Benh 21:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Ben, je pense, oui. Luc fait d'habitude d'excellentes photos, mais ici il a poussé le renforcement vraiment trop loin, à la manière d'un mauvais amateur qui croit qu'avec cela il augmentera très facilement la netteté sans prendre en compte les effets secondaires de ce filtre, très visibles ici. L'avis sur une Featured Picture Candidate doit prendre tous les aspects en compte pour être juste. Ici, techniquement, c'est mauvais. Sting 02:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
