  •  Neutral for now. This is a amazing shot but it could be more perfect. The pencils are not all focused (why such a small F number?) and there are some highlights. I wonder if a lighter background would result better. But I like the idea very much and hope that Michael improve the picture a bit... Alvesgaspar 20:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Same as Alvesgaspar. Acarpentier 21:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I could copy Alvesgaspar's comment and paste it verbatim here (except for the background which is nice to me) I like the idea and even though it's a bit picky, I'd preder the mentionned issues being fixed (shouldn't be difficult for still subjects).

The lens was focussed very carefully on the plane defined by the pencil tips; ie just above the background but below the level of the pencil sides. --MichaelMaggs 13:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
it still doesn't look very crisp, which is kind of a shame given the (I guess) conditions under which this picture was taken, and given the camera used. Actually, this doesn't matter that much (it doesn't kill what the picture is great for), and I'll probably support, but that was just because I believe it can be fixed easily.

  • If you look at my edit, you'll see that a cropping of about 18px from the right and 9px from the top would bring it more in center. As this is so minor, I'll just go neutral. Dori - Talk 18:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry - cropping at the top and right by the pixel amounts you suggest produces an image-centre which is very obviously some way from the centre of the circle. The image is better left as it is. I'll just have to live with your neutral vote. --MichaelMaggs 20:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If it can be fixed easily ans doesn't take that much time, why shouldn't we ask ? it's not like author needs to go out and wait (potentially 3 days it seems) until subjects are in place ;) Benh 20:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
