Ocean Beach at low tide
  •  Comment I was too lazy to write comments and I followed the comments of Grinatyou.. Here are my comments: The image is too dark for me, has unnatural colors (probably during the settings of the camera and the contra-light conditions), no details in the bird (only silhouette). The form of the image (actually only form we see here) does not convince me (I don't find the composition well-balanced). Images like that (that actually we see only form / shadows) are better in black & white. This image lacks of color and a black & white version will be more interesting.. with dark parts, white parts, middle gray tones etc. But since the contrast is too high I don't know if this image succeed in b&w (because it misses middle tones - this is usually a problems of digital sensors that have low dynamic range). As I mentioned above Mbz1 has much better images than this one. Ggia (talk) 08:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well everybody could come here and say: "I see technical problems, composition problems, lack of value" without saying what the problems are. And I am not looking forward for clarification of that review because according to the user, if he "explains them in detail it would be abusive". I do have much better images than this one, but it is not a reason to oppose this one I guess. It's OK, no worries --Mbz1 (talk) 16:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is not black and white picture! It is only photographed against the sun. O siyah beyaz bir resim değil! Sadece güneşe karşı fotoğraflandı olduğunu.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is added to 4 categories! Of course there's a value. Even, if it was an image of ocean waves only, there would have been a value. --Mbz1 (talk) 18:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And three more by me, but...--Jebulon (talk) 11:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is not black and white image. The colors came from settings and mostly because it was taken against the sun. The image was practically not post processed.--03:23, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- I don't have any complaints with necessary post-processing (it's a major part of digital photography). However, the picture contains little or no color (hence it is a monochrome or black-and-white photo). Perhaps you used the "Monochrome" Picture Style setting on your Rebel XTi?

No, I used no special settings at all.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:23, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
