SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Info created, uploaded, nominated by -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 21:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose At full res it's a bit too bright and is noisy. I also don't think the other plants obscuring the main subject is the most desirable composition, though I wouldn't oppose on that alone. Steven Walling 05:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Noisy? Bright? Come on Steven, you must be joking! As to you liking composition, well, that´s your right to like it or not, and I can live with that. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment From your other comments you seem to think all opposes "must be joking" these days, but I am not. The tops and edges of the cactus are overexposed and slightly fuzzy (this shouldn't occur at all, since it's the central area of focus). As for noise, the surrounding underbrush and secondary areas other than the mountains are unacceptably noisy. Steven Walling 16:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Steven, I don´t oppose all opposes, and it is easy to chech that... There is no sense in opposing opinions, for they are just that, opinions... but technical issues are another matter. I do challenge the noise issue... look at the sky! That is where noise would be evident. I do not see noise where you point it out, other than what may occur naturally in this medium. Digital photography produces noise in shadow areas, nothing can be done about that, for if I were to adjust for better exposure, thus less noise in shadows, the highlights would be burned out, and you are already complaining about that. The medium has fixed characteristicas as to the dynamic range of the scene, and this is bordering on the mechanical characteristic of the medium, both in the shadows and in the highligths. Get a primer on zone system photography as a background to understanding tone, gray scales, luminosity range, dynamic range, etc., and extrapolate the film lessons to digital photography. Same thing...--Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:10, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support good pic of the species in its natural environment - MPF (talk) 15:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support--Mbz1 (talk) 18:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose -- Correct still ordinary picture. I can't see a reason, either aesthetical or illustrative, why it should be FP. As for the depiction of the species, the cactus is partially hidden by another out-of-focus plant. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:38, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Alvesgaspar, you should apply your own advice to your own pictures. Neither your arrogant attitude nor your very evident defficient photographic knowledge deserve comment anymore. Make no mistake, in my opinion, you are neither a good photographer nor a good critic. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
