  •  Oppose Poor quality, what is the purpose of this image? - Flying Freddy (talk) 00:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment What do you mean by bad quality? I keep reading that short sentence in this forum yet the quality gurus never seem to put forth valid arguments that result in such judgement and do not contribute to the authors or other observers. If it is an opinion, say so, if it is the result of an evaluation process, bad quality can be expressed in photographic terms. As it stands, it is just an opinion. Purpose of the image? Well, if you read a little about geography, rivers and ecosystems, this picture illustrates on those areas, encyclopedic in nature. Pretty or eye-catching photography? Definitely no. Illustrative of a geographical space, yes. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment In this instance I was referring to the softness of the image esp. away from the cows, nearly all the image is soft (maybe motion blurred?) especially at the edges when compared to work such as diliff's, obviously this isn't a downsampled pano, but this is really unlike a 50d with good glass in front of it. I'm sure you know far more about it than me, and there's probably a reason why you didn't, but in this instance I would consider a polarizer, shooting at ~90mm on a crop body you're not going to get a huge amount of difference in polarization across the sky and you'd definitely knock out some of the haze and increase the contrast. Hope this clears up my views - 58.169.106.1 22:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Fair enough... I accept that critique as responsible and agree with the points you make. And for your information, lens was a 28-135 IS with polarizer. Probably motion blurr despite IS. Photo take from a bridge with lots of vibration and wind. Could be better, yes. Will reshoot when possible.

  •  Comment Please do try to take it again, Tomas, it's a good scene. (P.S. I hope the cows are there next time!) Maedin\talk 16:39, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'd like the scene to have a little more colors. A deeper blue for the sky would make it more appealing. --S23678 (talk) 02:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
