Ostrich in Bucaramanga, Colombia
  • Fair enough, sharpening is not a deciding factor for me. Could you please explain “larger-than-life”? I've never seen this expression in this context. – Lucas 19:11, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Larger than life" doesn't mean anything in my view since it depends on your device with the dimension of its pixels, or on the size of your prints. I've heard this expression only in macro photography, using macro lenses, with regards to the size of the subject in the sensor. For example a mosquito is considered "larger than life" on a full frame camera if its size on its 24x36 mm sensor is bigger than its size in reality (35 mm equivalent magnification). Here this head is definitely larger than the size of any standard sensor, so it's not "larger than life" in my opinion. And it is not particularly a small subject to photograph either. But this is shot at 42 mm and with a longer focal length (e.g. 300 mm) the bokeh of the background would have been better -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:15, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In post process, not really. The max focal length of this camera with a wider aperture could have been a compromise here during the shooting. Or with the same settings, a simple bottom-up view with a more homogeneous spread of trees or sky also could have helped to isolate the animal -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:14, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
