- Support. Interesting question: Should this have a personality rights template? I don't know. Anyway, I like the photo and think it merits a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:15, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- In uncertainty, added. Good question, indeed. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:26, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support special to me.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:40, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The reflection isn't appealing (photographer lying on a bed?). The focus stack result just looks weird with bits randomly in and out of focus, and quite a lot of the eye itself is not in focus. What is in focus is the skin, some random bits of hair, and the photographer. Compare File:003 2016 02 23 Augenpflege.jpg which just looks more natural. -- Colin (talk) 11:02, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I think it would have been better if you had tried to make the photographer/yourself less conspicuous in the photo and let the window (or the world outside) be the center if the kid's attention. A big dark man creeping up on a child that looks startled is no doubt an effect, but probably not the effect you were looking for. --Cart (talk) 11:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Per above, idea and quality are good but the exuction isn't. Try it outside with a nice landscape and the photographer not direct the eye to avoid its reflection RolfHill (talk) 11:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The reflection and the quality of the focus stacking. Is the subject's head tilted too? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:13, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Very special and well done, but the area around the eye is IMO a bit too large here. Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:43, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Christian Ferrer, for your suggestion. I propose the alternative below -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:26, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Alternative[edit]
- Info The depth of field of a macro lens is very shallow, all the more camera held by hand. You need to be very close. Shooting with an angle would create more blur around. It might be possible to use a tripod, but then the "story" told in the picture would be slightly different -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:26, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support The blue sky and the trees through the windows create a kind of mise en abyme, adding a new dimension by separating the interior from the exterior, in the pupil -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:26, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:08, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:03, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose There is a gap between. Suppose manual was set. --Mile (talk) 12:14, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose (I think people who already voted should be pinged that there's an alt). Same issues as the other one. I don't think cropping further helps, as it just focuses everything more on the dark creepy figure lying on a bed! -- Colin (talk) 14:21, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Regretful oppose A bold idea that just didn't make it in this iteration. I like the reflection of the photographer, but the eyelashes every which way are distracting (not much you could do about that, I concede) and as noted by other !voters the focus stack isn't working. Daniel Case (talk) 20:38, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
