Seal Rocks
Could you please spell it out why in your opinion the image is not FP. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:17, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Low resolution for FP in my opinion, the rock is too small. Though is a very beautiful pic :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 23:26, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is that right? Low resolution? Well, maybe it is my problem. After all the resolution of my image is only 2 times greater than the one you supported :-)--23:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but IMHO is a different kind of pic, the seagulls and their rock are too small for me to be FP. It's just my opinion (and only mine I see :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 09:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. IMO your oppose reason for the resolution is very unfair and against the guidelines, and BTW the seagulls are extra. They not only provide a great scale for the rock, but also great EV. Who knew they would sit still for 40 seconds! :)--Mbz1 (talk) 12:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's an exaggeration to say the seagulls provide "great" EV. After all, you can barely see them in the picture. -- Petritap (talk) 13:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
They provide EV for two reasons: they are good for the scale and it is an interesting behavior (birds do not move much after sunset). What I am trying to say is that the image you supported is very beautiful, and I supported it too, but IMO my image has much bigger EV because of the seagulls as I explained above and because of the lighthouse.--Mbz1 (talk) 13:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that they´re barely visible doesn´t give any extra quality to the image, but it does give EV. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 14:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not oversaturated. It is just a long exposure (40 seconds) that gives such colors. I am not sure what 'aura' you are talking about, but if it is the one around the rock, it is only slow motion sea w:foam from the crashing waves.--Mbz1 (talk) 10:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
