- Info Colored pencils. Macro stack of 7 images.

- Oppose Nice colors, but I don't like the composition.--Claus 11:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

- weak oppose I like the idea, but given that this was shot in a controlled studio environment the lighting doesn't really convince me. The shadows are quite harsh, which could have been avoided by putting a diffuser in front of the light source (a sheet of white paper might have been enough). --El Grafo (talk) 12:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Choice of colours and framing seems a bit arbitrary. It's a fairly easy macro shot, so I'd be looking for some creative arrangement at FP. Btw, I recently took some coloured pencil photos myself, though I wasn't aiming for macro detail. -- Colin (talk) 12:59, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

- Info El Grafo No studio, nor studio light, sun light it was, soft as it should be. Of course, diffuser, few lights, huge studio room...that should make it. Its a wish. Colin Since when 7 stacked macro is easy shot ?! What you have there is not even QI with bad composition, non macro single shot with medicore quality. This are feautered by now 1, 2. Macro in whole is never easy shot, because its almost never one shot, but more. That's why we grade even single shot photos of flower here as Feautered, why if this should be easy. I think you completely missed grading here. I will be happy to see your pencils. Till then, you reconsider what you write, do take survey again; what we have in that category, what you made and what I made. Creative arrangement, you mean rounded in circle of course, I like to be more original than to copy others. --Mile (talk) 13:41, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Mile, I wasn't comparing my photos with yours wrt feature quality. It was just a coincidence that I was remarking on (hence, "Btw, ..."). Sunlight is not soft light, but on a clear blue sky is as hard as can be. You can see it in the shadows -- they have a hard edge. It isn't expensive to create soft light, especially for a small subject. I used a home-made softbox for this photo. Or go outdoors with an overcast sky (though one can't really control the direction of light outside). I know that preparing a subject and camera position for product photography is tedious and not trivial like getting out your camera and going "snap". But it isn't rocket science either, and for the fairly unoriginal subject of "coloured pencils", it isn't exactly a hard subject to come by. Do a Google Image search for "coloured pencils" and you'll see dozens of interesting arrangements, and many where focus stacking isn't even required. -- Colin (talk) 18:17, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Mile, when I wrote "Studio", I didn't necessarily mean tons of expensive equipment. Maybe I should've written "studio-like", as I was thinking about a situation where the photographer has full control over all photographic variables such as arrangement of the subject or lighting. Using the sun as a light source has some advantages (virtually no fall-off), but it may be a bit more difficult to control. But it is controllable. For instance, one could use a sheet of en:Tracing paper or en:Greaseproof paper to soften it. Another possibility is to use a makeshift reflector to brighten up the shadows (there are tons of HOW-TOs like this out there, but a piece of white cardboard might actually be all you need). --El Grafo (talk) 08:33, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral per others. --Tremonist (talk) 14:54, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Support Original,good quality --LivioAndronico (talk) 22:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Crop on the left and right is awkward. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:29, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose as King of Hearts. --Hubertl 12:44, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Hubertl, King of : left-right is continuous pattern, how would you crop it to be different ? --Mile (talk) 21:37, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment In my opinion, compositions like those has to be perfectly straight. The composer wanted to do this, but he failed, IMO. --Hubertl 08:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see how it could be cropped better, but just because it can't be improved in its current state doesn't mean the composition is good. File:Colouring pencils.jpg is an example of a good composition. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:14, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- Support NIce work technically. I don't honestly see how it could be cropped in any way that would be ideal. Daniel Case (talk) 15:23, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

- Support Many details! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 23:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral Nice details and not convinced either about the lateral crops, I also agree with Colin that the choice of colors and composition of other FPs in this category is better than this one. Poco2 18:49, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
