Oppose - Beautiful composition but poor image quality. Shouldn't be too hard to remove the noise from the background and improve the contrast - Alvesgaspar 18:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the votes. If somebody could help me to improve the quality, please do. I'm not a very good with photo shops and besides I'm not sure I see the noise.--Mbz1 18:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
- If someone could clean this up, and tell how they did it, it'd be great to learn from. I tried hitting it with Neat Image but couldn't get all the sky noise out. And I'd like to hear more about what's wrong with the contrast. BTW, Mbz1, where in SF is this? I used to work in SF. JaGa 18:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comment and for working on the image, JaGa. The picture was taken at Legion of Honor. If you look at the cover photo of the article, the statue is on the right hand side of fine art museum, but it is not shown at the cover image.--Mbz1 19:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
- If you took this using a Canon Camera and still have the original cr2(RAW) file I could happily help using Digital Photo Professional. Freedom to share 19:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you Freedom to share. I did take it with Canon and I do have original, but it was taken in jpg not in a raw format. Jpg format will not do it will it? Yet it is a very interesting information. I also have Digital Photo Professional from Canon, which I never use. I even did not know that one is able to reduce the noise with this thing. I guess I'm very laizy. Maybe next time, when the fog will be right, which is rather rare, I'll try to retake the image.--Mbz1 20:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
- If you have the original raw file, your possibilities are almost endless as it has not been processed yet but is merely the light that fell on the sensor and was recorded. You can easily change things such as the white balance after a shot and brightness controls and noise reduction are significantly better that way. Note however that raw images take an immense amount of space, so be careful when shooting them that you have a large enough CF card. Also, Digital Photo Professional I do not think works with the EOS 300D, but it is a really nice program. So, next time you shoot, take raw and I do not think that you should be dissappointed.

Comment - I have tried to improve the picture, with poor results. It is possible to reduce the noise but the sky is already posterized and I was not able to improve the contrast without worsening other things. Alvesgaspar 22:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, Alvesgaspar. I wish I knew how I've got the noise in the first place. I've used ISO 100.--Mbz1 23:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support I think the composition wins. Dori - Talk 01:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support Its great anyway despite the noise. --Digon3 talk 01:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Great composition, but I think the photo don't present a subject valueable. --Beyond silence 08:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support A little noisy yes, but I think it's good enough anyway. /Daniel78 20:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
