Very evident abrupt sharp/unsharp transitions, stacking error – mostly fixed now

•  Info Fruit in development of a beech (Fagus sylvatica) Focus stack of 39 photos. Note: the fruit in the making is in focus, the stem diagonally behind is not.

•  Comment I know no one else cares about the usual stacking errors, so I will not oppose. But I do find it strange that Famberhorst is not interested in attention to detail. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:03, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

• @Charlesjsharp: please fix your edit the way you want to vote / comment -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:25, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose I don't usually vote/comment on these focus-stacked images as I've never done one and don't really know the process. But this one has blurred parts all over the main fruit body (visible at well below full size), and the highlights seem a bit too bright to me. Only weakly opposing because the bits that are in focus have some really impressive detail. BigDom (talk) 06:01, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Sorry, but in this case I have to agree with Charles (and BigDom). The stacking errors are in this case very evident, causing blurred areas around some of the protruding parts in the centre which contrast strongly with the very sharp structures around them. I have marked the most problematic area with an image note. While I have argued that we should take small stacking errors benevolently, this time they are too evident, espec. because there is no soft transition from sharp to unsharp, but an abrupt border. I hope that the stacking can be fixed (after all, this seems an error by the stacking software). --Aristeas (talk) 09:18, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Comment Many thanks to the reviewers for bringing this to attention. I have temporarily changed my vote to Neutral until the technical problem is solved. The issue seems to exceed the tolerance limit. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 09:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

• @Aristeas  Done. Fix stacking errors in your highlighted area and highlight reduction.Thanks for the review.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:03, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

• @Famberhorst: Thank you very much for your additional work! That area looks much better now. The problem is that we can see the same problem – abrupt transitions from sharp to unsharp – also in misc. other parts of the beech fruit. That’s really a pity, I can just suspect that the beech fruit with its extremely complex surface structure plus the protruding parts is especially difficult to handle for the stacking process. I have tried to visualize the striking unsharp areas in this copy of your picture with red markings. Please don’t be startlet and also don’t think I want to annoy you! (If I wanted to do the latter I would have just opposed and saved the time to create all these markings.) It may be irksome but I just want to help you to see (and fix) the problems. Sorry again and best regards, --Aristeas (talk) 13:42, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

• Good evening, *@Aristeas Thank you very much for all the effort you have made to achieve a better result. Your positive comments do not irritate me at all. Upon seeing your copy, I have come to the conclusion that it is "beating a dead horse" For that reason I withdraw the nomination. Many thanks again for your positive approach. Greetings,--Famberhorst (talk) 15:34, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

• I’m sorry, Famberhorst, but thank you very much for your understanding! Best, --Aristeas (talk) 15:54, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

•  I withdraw my nomination Thanks everyone for the comments.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:34, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
