Support -- Yann (talk) 07:01, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Out of focus -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:14, 23 December 2017 (UTC)- Oppose per Basile, sorry. --Basotxerri (talk) 08:58, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Basile. --Granada (talk) 09:42, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin, Basotxerri, and Granada: Could you explain, I don't see what you mean. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:17, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- The tip of the nose, part of the beard and the chin are relatively unsharp, IMO too unsharp for a portrait shot. However, I usually don't shoot people and portraits so I'd like to hear the other's opinions, too. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:22, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Basotxerri: What's important are the eyes. With f/8, most of the face is in focus, so I don't see what's the issue. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:52, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- I dare to say that it seems that the focal plane is a bit too far, the ears are really sharp. But I promise you that if someone else convinces me that I'm wrong, I'll withdraw my oppose vote. These are mere technical issues, though, the other question is if it's worth to be an FP. First let's see what others think. --Basotxerri (talk) 18:44, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's a nice portrait in small size that I would certainly have supported if the quality had been good at 1:1. Unfortunately the focus is on the scarf. Look how fine are all the small details of the scarf compared to the face. Here the eyes are not sharp and the nose is very blurry. It's probably a problem of precision of your collimator(s) in this particular situation. I take a lot of portraits in real life with natural light (that is more difficult than in studio) and sometimes meet such kind of bad focus (especially with my old camera). But when the collimator catches the right surface, then the image gets sharp. Look at the difference between your portrait and this one for example, at f/8 too. Compare the eyes, the nose, the mouth and the hair, and see the shades of focus on the shirt. -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:03, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Uff, you're comparing 50 mm f/8 on FF on your image with the FF eq. of 105 mm f/12 on this image (APS-C crop factor 1.5). Sorry, I don't want to say anything with this, only an observation. --Basotxerri (talk) 09:11, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Then do a comparison to this portrait I made of Kristina Inhof while she was speaking to the viewers before a soccer match in Maria Enzersdorf: File:20171110_Kristina_Inhof_850_3856.jpg 195mm f/2.8, LED-lighting from the TV-producers. It's sharp on her left eye and nothing else, but the camera got the focus right. That above portrait of Bahadur Singh just missed the focus. --Granada (talk) 17:04, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Yes, the eyes are in focus but the cheeks should be here, as well. Daniel Case (talk) 23:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
