SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment So because the short depth of field is intentional, that makes the photo great. I don't agree. Beautiful light and textures, but it's not good to me beyond about 40% of full size. I won't break up the unanimous support, though, as I do like the photo at full screen (about 20% of full size) and might react to larger sizes differently if I were looking at a framed photo on a gallery wall at a distance. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:23, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks for your answer. I actually meant it more precisely that the shallow depth of field is technically caused. But I knew about it only after looking into the metadata and accepted the photo as it is, despite the flaw. Greetings :) -- Radomianin (talk) 09:12, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I understood it, Radomianin meant that (please correct me if I'm wrong!) at such a long focal length a narrow depth of field is unavoidable, rather than intentional. Closing down the aperture would bring only a small improvement, at the expense of sharpness ([1]). The photographer could perhaps have focused on the house instead of the centre of the image to make the narrow depth of field less apparent, but in my opinion the larger issue at play is the software used for developing the raw file (likely responsible for the blotchy appearence of the grass and dirt patches, see comment below). Anyway, still a wonderful picture and a great example of the benefits of using a telephoto lens for landscape photography - if one is willing to lug it around :) Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:24, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks to Julesvernex2, with your excellent knowledge of English, you have clearly stated my point. Thanks to Ikan for the constructive discussion, which is based only on my first decision that I have afterwards changed, based on (for me) new knowledge. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
