•  Support Beautiful image, to my eye. The rough, spiky shell is a little blurred on its nearest side, but this works for me because it actually gives more focus to the shiny conker hiding inside, which does look immaculately sharp. The blend of colours is beautiful, the texture is fascinating, and image as a whole feels natural and informative. --Bobulous (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

•  Support To avoid blurred frames, I recommend to shoot at least two different series from same spot. --Ivar (talk) 10:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

•  Weak support At first sight an impression of déjà-vu, but I think this picture is different enough, and above all better. Only "weak" support due to the focus stacking issue. I really don't find this blurred foreground successful, because the spines in front are sharp, the conker is sharp, only the middle is a weird out-of-focus area. Why?? A continuity of sharpness with enough details would have been more than welcome here. Fortunately the problem is not too big, but still noticeable. 22 pictures should have been far enough to cover the subject, thus I suppose a technical problem here, either some frames missing, or a few bad shots within the batch. Apart from that, good light and adequate bokeh -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

•  Support You have to put the focus point manually in front of the object to get everything in focus. If you take the AF, there is usually something missing in the front.--Ermell (talk) 22:13, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
