Six-spotted Fishing Spider Six-spotted Fishing Spider

EXAMPLE: Downsampled to show effective resolution

Picture #1

[edit]
  •  Support I wish the resolution was higher, but this was as close as I could get, hence the crop. He was in the same pond as the lotus. -- Ram-Man 15:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice, but too small DOF. --norro 14:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I think the resolution and lighting and composition are great, but it seems to be not very sharp, although the DOF seems to put the spider in the centre of the focus range. Maybe it's a compression problem, maybe it's camera movement. Processing with the 'unsharp mask' filter in Gimp helps quite a bit. I won't vote against it as perhaps I'm being too picky. --Tony Wills 22:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I had to hold the camera arms outstretched to try to get as close as possible to the spider. As a result, there was some amount of camera shake, but it's not terrible. This was also before I had a macro lens, so I couldn't get the magnification that I wanted. Of course cropping is never as good as downsampling for the same end resolution. I'll see if I can perform some more processing to clean it up. -- Ram-Man 22:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
