Caustic in nature
What is the problem with the quality? Not only caustic, but the barracuda are depicted quite well. Besides underwater image, shallow water, shiny camera in my hand, and barracauda are metigating factors. Please trust me on that.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:47, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You know better than that. Or you should by now, anyway. It is not enough for a picture to have good quality or encyclopaedic value to become FP. It must be extraordinary in some way. And the present one is not. Featured pictures are the best Commons has to offer. 'Quite well' is not good enough and the camera, or the shooting conditions, are not supposed to be mitigating factors. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The image is not of a barracuda, the image is of w:Caustic (optics) (the very reflections you complain about) The barracuda just adds to the exitement.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:59, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't know if this pic is or is not a FP (according to opinions of few VIP here), but wait a moment, Mbz1, and somebody will say "oaoaoh, yes, but, indeed, the "caustic" is well shown, but the barracuda is disturbing..."...--Jebulon (talk) 23:36, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
ha-ha-ha. I'd say The High Fin Sperm Whale maybe missed on the scope of the nomination, and I am not even going to comment on alves review. It speaks for itself.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You know what ? I came here this night (it's night now in France) to nominate another view, but after reading this review, I've given up. IMO, that's not the end, that's not the beginning of the end, but, maybe, that's the end of the beginning, when unhappy-fews (newbies) are giving up... I've decided to let them play together for the time, because every time I come here, I leave with something like a feel of disgust and anger.--Jebulon (talk) 00:35, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Jebulon, honestly, I am about to give up myself, but I would ask you not to. The thing is that FPC is a great place to share one images. I'm taking pictures to share them with as many people as possible, that's what keeps me going in spite of everything, but I kind of starting to understand what Tomas meant.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I missed the scope, but even so, I would still oppose because it is small, low quality, and it is not hard to get pictures in this scope. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:03, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In you first review you said "The quality isn't bad", now you said "low quality". The image is 2 mega pixels, and no it is not easy to get such shots in the nature with such patterns of caustics, with corals and barracuda for more wow. --Mbz1 (talk) 01:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
