Neutral Nice. The mushrooms look a little bit flat and could have more grip (texture) and plasticity (lighting) 4 my taste --Richard Bartz (talk) 12:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your opinion. Actually the mushrooms have a smooth surface without any visible texture. Maybe I could show more plasticity by more direct lighting, but I like this dimmed light on the forest soil. Btw. Unlike the pic in the Makro-Forum it was a dry day. Normally they aren't as slimy as seen on the pic there. --LC-de (talk) 13:10, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Neutral I think the depth of field is not optimal, the top of the mushrooms is a bit blurred. I like the leaf at the left, so we can compare the mushrooms' size, but you should have chosen an aperture a little bit bigger. Diti (talk to the penguin) 14:32, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Oppose It is overexposed I am afraid. Both the red and blue channels are badly clipped. Also, it is not that sharp, given the rather small image size. I would suggest using a tripod for a 1/60 second exposure. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Support Might be reframed later if necessary ; composition is interesting, the neck falls exactly between 2 road signs. Maybe a little bit too much road on the right hand side, but then the ostrich would be too centered... oh well, i think it's very good for a picture taken while drivin of a running ostrich. --JY Rehby (talk) 17:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Per above, you should have a very nice background with picture like these. This isn't the case here. It doesn't amplify the subject. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 01:25, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- Its meant as a detail shot, if it had a background it would be a completely different shot, of a wheel or a locomotive. Personally, I think if I had nominated Image:60163 Tornado wheel.JPG people would rightly oppose, as it shows nothing but a wheel with no discernable quality other than showing a wheel. (A very significant wheel, but as above, this is maybe not enough to have it qualify as a significant picture). Ultra7 (talk) 17:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
