- Comment I think File:Estrella espinosa común (Marthasterias glacialis), Madeira, Portugal, 2019-05-30, DD 03.jpg is better. The contrast and colours are better, the lighting less harsh, and the creature is closer to the plane of focus. Whereas in the nomination, the creature is at about 45° and so the front and rear legs are out of focus even at screen size. I know the nom is higher resolution and the other one could do with a bit of vertical crop. I wonder what Charles could do with it wrt the Topaz AI sharpening from raw? -- Colin (talk) 09:54, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I have 'treated' a number of Poco a poco's RAW images so he has been able to assess the software. Topaz works best on the best images. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose shallow depth of field, is there any particular reason for f/5,6? --EV Raudtee (talk) 15:43, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- EV Raudtee I imagine that your question is sarcastic as you have already rendered a judgement. So, what camera settings whould you have chosen at 15m depth? Poco a poco (talk) 21:42, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support Could be sharper but IMO good for an underwater photo at this resolution. Cmao20 (talk) 16:38, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

- Support Not the sharpest, but difficult shot under water. The light works for me, subject well isolated from its background -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support per others after considerable reflection. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
