- Support I like the atmosphere Benh 07:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support The dark sky makes it look more interesting, better than just a regular blue one. Sharp focus too. Chris huh 09:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support Good composition and excellent colouring, giving a surreal atmosphere. I would prefer the the building vertical though. Alvesgaspar 09:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment you have to know that the Parthenon is not vertical, it was made on purpose by the architects to enhance the impression of height. Here the non-verticality of the left column is about right. Diligent
- Comment I know that, but the whole bulding is tilted to the left. - Alvesgaspar 22:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It isn't tilted, the camera is pointing up, creating perspective distortion. In these cases (where, incidentally, the effect of size is exaggerated, so it works for me) you should check verticality at the center of the image. The center of this image is vertical. mixpix 08:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- Support Hugo.arg 20:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support Renata3 23:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose compression artefacts, oversharpening and poor lighting mixpix 23:56, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Obviously, author has a lot to shoot but is limited by his equipment. I bet the lack of sharpness and odd colours (common to all his pics) come from the camera and not the photographer. Benh 07:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not so sure... the Nikon 8800 has manual focus, custom white balance, ISO50, RAW, image stabilisation and ED glass. If you set it up right, it can really perform. I suspect the problems with these images come mostly from them being shot JPEG and set to AWB under mixed lighting. Shooting macro this way is asking for trouble, as you're bound to look as close as possible. mixpix 09:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Comment You must be right. But from the size/resolution ratio of the author's picture, I would say his final jpegs are in the higher side of quality (but the source image may be bad already). So there must be some point in his "chain" where something isn't done right because given the 8 mpix of his camera and the relatively low resolution of the final pictures, details per pixel should be good. And this isn't only because he was shooting macro in some supposedly bad conditions (I don't think conditions were bad on his branch pic below). Algirdas if you hear me, are your pictures cropped or sampled down? Benh 22:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose None of them has enough photographic quality for FP. Please separate the nominations. Alvesgaspar 09:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
