Okay, just checked the archive re:1024 squared is 1MP, (Ithink that is rediculous, it's like saying a GB is 1024 mb not 1,000), however, I'm happy to go by that from now on even though en wiki says: "A megapixel is 1 million pixels" Benjamint444 12:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC), You are missing the point, the 2MP are the bare minimum. If you unnecessarily downscale because you don't want to share larger sizes, that's fine, but don't expect a QI tag in this case. --Dschwen 13:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)So your saying you would oppose them even if they were above the 2MP requirement, you almost sound as if you would just oppose anything I nominate no matter how good even if it's above the size requirements just because it may have been downsampled? Does that not sound a bit distorted to you, blanket opposing a user.Benjamint444 03:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC) It has an illustrative value. But the colours don't seem natural (see the right side of the blossom) and because there is no shadow it looks unnatural. --Ikiwaner 07:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

    It's somewhat sharper and is better composed; the composition in this picture doesn't work for me; the huge dead space and cut off wheel leave it feeling very unbalanced. The panning even detracts a little since the background isn't blurred enough to really get a sense of motion, which makes it a distraction for me.

    Thank you for the review, Thegreenj.Oversaturated? Probably. The thing is I was taking the image of the rays (my main subject) and they were very delicate. The idea was to bring them up in PS. It is not the dirt, which is blue. There was no any dirt at all not blue, not white. It is hot springs water, which reflects the sky.The colors of the springs deppend on many conditions, like time of the day, the weather and so on.My image was taken very early in the morning, when the colors are very much different than the colors in an afternoon.Here's, for example, a very blue (too blue for me)image I found at Flickr. 80 people called it favorite and it has 52 comments.So I guess I'll stay with my colors.--Mbz1 00:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

There is nothing particularly significant about the spot,but most of Kibaha is yet undeveloped and is hilly with trees and shrubs as this image shows. Also, none of the criteria for QI mention anything abou the significance of an image.

•  Comment and there is a kind of wide - angle- distortion, in German we say "tonnenförmige Verzerrung", I cannot translate that --Mbdortmund 14:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Info First I thought it is down to the use of cylindrical projection in the stitching process, but I do see barrel distortion "tonnenförmige Verzeichnung" as well. And alignment of verticals is dodgy, not only the virtual lense pointing slightly upwards. -- Klaus with K 19:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose I have seen better stitches than this. Looks to me as improper lense parameter handling. -- Klaus with K (talk) 19:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Comment (At least) Two dust spots and the edges need cropping. -- carol 11:43, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment I think those little black things are Turkey Vultures which is why I didn't patch them over; we have a lot of them there; I could remove them anyway. Which edges do you think need cropping? Basar 16:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Both of the vertical edges had extra stuff on them. The little black spots are not what I was talking about. I originally thought that the spots I was seeing mostly in sky photographs was clone tool mark. I have seen evidence that it is probably dust spots on the lens. I saw a few areas in the sky of this image which have that quality to it. A dust spot on the lens would diffuse the light it was collecting from a distance. A clone tool could also make the same effect. -- carol (talk) 05:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I understand now. I fixed them, although I could only find one dust spot. Basar 06:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

  • By 'too unsharp' do you mean I applied the unsharp filter too much? That may be as I did put it on the strong side of what I thought looked good. Also, did you mean to imply a causal relationship with lacking detail? Basar 21:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
    • I can tell you this, from my point of view, I do not know if I have ever seen this particular pile of dirt or not -- but when looking at these things here, the amount of sharpness in this photograph is what I have seen. These crazy piles of dirt; they are green in the winter months and brown during all of the other months. Close up, the plants and tree that grow on these piles of dirt are also unsharp -- hard to the touch but unsharp in appearance. -- carol (talk) 04:50, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose I like the composition and the colours. But there is a lack of detail (Lyacons sharpness issue). I don't think it's postprocessing it's the lens. --Ikiwaner 07:53, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Great, I think I understand now. Do you think this is something that can be ameliorated by lens settings (aperture, VR) or do you think it's just not a very good lens (it isn't). Unfortunately, I'm no longer near this subject, so I can't take it again, but I can try on other subjects. Basar 17:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Are your images consistantly this blurry? Given the distance of the subject and the aperture, you should be getting more sharpness. For stuff like this, where your subject is basically at infinity, I'd just set the lens to somewhere past hyperfocal distance (there may be markings on the lens to help estimate this), which I generally find more reliable than autofocus. Thegreenj 03:08, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
      • Maybe. I'm going to play around with the manual focus some to try to figure out the cause. Thanks. Basar 03:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
