Weak support What looks like some netting in the background is distracting me a little because it makes it clear the setting is not fully natural. Otherwise very good. Cmao20 (talk) 18:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment This is actually inside a zoo. So these monkeys are moving around in the open in the visitors' area. Infact this monkey is sitting on a bench meant for visitors.-Subhrajyoti07 talk 18:40, 1 April 2022 (UTC)- Support --Princess Rosalina 💄 452731 01:56, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Slightly qualified support Fur is blown or nearly blown on the top of the head, and looks a little unnatural on the lower right leg. Daniel Case (talk) 02:08, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Gallery link added. Your friendly gallery link service ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 08:16, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you. I was actually finding it difficult.- Subhrajyoti07 talk 08:39, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose A zoo image showing 'captive' surroundings. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC)- Support Tomer T (talk) 07:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, the quality isn't high enough for a zoo photo. The face isn't particularly sharp and the fur is blown in places. Composition isn't appealing. -- Colin (talk) 18:42, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Charlesjsharp. -- Karelj (talk) 14:53, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Agree with Charles -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:28, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Charlesjsharp. --Fischer.H (talk) 17:09, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment With due respect to all fellow wikimedians who have voted on this photo, following is the Histogram of this picture from LR Link. There are no clips either in Highlights or Shadow.
The lens is a macro prime and is tack sharp with focus on the eyes of the primate. The aperture was the widest at f/2.8 as it was a cloudy day which I admit is not the optimal aperture for this shot but raising the ISO much (this was ISO 400) was not an option as my DSLR is quite outdated and introduced unacceptable noise. Regarding the venue being captive, here's the description from the wikipedia page - "Nandankanan Zoological Park is a 437-hectare zoo and botanical garden in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India". So there is a zoo but this animal is not part of the zoo enclosure. My previous comment should have been worded better. Anyways, I feel this photo should be considered keeping these points in view- Subhrajyoti07 talk 10:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment "clipping" does not necessarily mean "RGB at 100%". There is considerable loss of detail in the bright parts visible, even if the numeric brightness might still be below 100% due to subsequent normalisation – there are large "mash" areas of nearly one colour with not a single hair to be seen. --Kreuzschnabel 13:05, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose The blown white areas in the fur make it insupportable for me, even if it was crisp sharp (which it isn’t). Is this a JPG out of camera, and if so, is the raw file still with us? I might like to have a try with RawTherapee :) --Kreuzschnabel 12:49, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Kreuz, I am sharing the original NEF file for this shot here
