Keri island, Estonia

* Oppose Sorry, try again, too unsharp (Do you process from RAW or is a jpg direct from camera)? --Ezarateesteban 13:54, 6 March 2017 (UTC)  Neutral better but not FP by now Ezarateesteban 01:49, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral per The Photographer and Ezarate. Daniel Case (talk) 16:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant  Oppose per The Photographer. This is a very attractive photo at thumbnail size, and it still looks good despite some noticeable unsharpness at full size on my laptop, but it is really unsharp at full size. Yes, the size is quite large, but the fact that the stones start getting clearly unsharp so close to the bottom of the picture frame merely at full screen size on my laptop impels me to consider this photo not to be one of the best on the site. I would be very happy to reconsider if you can sharpen the photo without damaging anything. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan, I gave it a try and did some slight sharpening, see the file history. I tried to revert it back to wait on approval by the uploader, but I wasn't able to ("The edit appears to have already been undone."). – LucasT 20:56, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good work! But I'm still reluctant to support. I will consider whether a "neutral" vote is warranted. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:00, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ezarate, Daniel Case: I sharpened it selectively, please reevaluate your votes, thanks. – LucasT 23:26, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Ikan. In such situations where maximum DOF is wanted, you can do a focus stack by shooting a close and a far focused image (or some more in between) and blend them together later. – LucasT 20:47, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As said above, I did some sharpening, but still would prefer to be done from RAW for better quality. So  Neutral for now. – LucasT 21:06, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I shoot this image only as jpg. Kruusamägi (talk) 21:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't have your reasons for sticking with JPG, I would recommend to change to RAW if you haven't already. It's well worth the extra hassle. – LucasT 23:26, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment IMHO focus problem is not something that rebuild from RAW could fix. The problem was the select a insufficient deep of field in the image. My suggestion is to 1) make another picture with f/16 using a tripod (my first recomendation) or 2) without tripod, however, a combination of three images, one focusing the house, another focusing half the ground and the third focusing on the rocks that are in the foreground, then join this with Photoshop or Gimp using layers for each image. --The Photographer 11:48, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
