Info All by me. -- Basotxerri (talk) 08:03, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Support -- Basotxerri (talk) 08:03, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Oppose - Sorry, it's not working for me. The leaf just sits there, and the ice is not helping me move my eye around the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:52, 11 February 2018 (UTC)- Oppose per Ikan.--Peulle (talk) 10:23, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Comment Please add a category above. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:37, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry! --Basotxerri (talk) 15:50, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose No wow for me --Michielverbeek (talk) 20:17, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support For me, the composition emphasizes the fragility of the fallen leaf. Daniel Case (talk) 20:27, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose I rather like the thumbnail and was going to support with a different crop (16:9, cutting the top). Unfortunately when opening it at full size, I am rather disappointed by the quality, not as exceptional as I would expect (sharpness, depth of field). So this is a regretful oppose, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:59, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Not enough wow. Perhaps if more snow was in focus there would be more sparkles. -- Colin (talk) 09:12, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- Colin, just a note. Sparkles in snow are not related to focus but to the viewing angle of reflected light. It is damn hard to get any surface of snow to sparkle more since those infernal snow flakes/crystals are angled in all directions. I have tried several times and failed... :( The only way is to have light sources from different angles, which is not practical outddors. Perversely, you get a grander "lightshow" with snow reflections out of focus since they then "bloom" and become larger bokeh blobs. Example or pixelpeep this. --cart-Talk 10:26, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- Cart, looking at this image, the out-of-focus sparkles are dimmer. I guess the same amount of light is spread over a wider area than if in focus. Perhaps then the problem here is the snow is not in bright light, or is under exposed. Only when the sparkles are blown-out (as one would expect specular reflections of the sun to be) are they still bright enough to sparkle as bokeh blobs. I just feel a simple motive like this needs something magical going on around it, otherwise it is too ordinary. -- Colin (talk) 11:14, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- My comment was just a sidetrack about the general behaviour of snow, and I agree that there is probably too little light on the snow is this particular photo. --cart-Talk 11:21, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you Cart and Colin. I think the sparkling effects depend on the type of snow, too, this one was more wet and frozen snow than recently fallen. Anyway, I'll keep on trying :-) --Basotxerri (talk) 18:43, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thank you all for your opinions and comments! --Basotxerri (talk) 18:43, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
