Info I found this surprisingly small Inukshuk in the bottom of a canyon near the Hoodoos Trail in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. created by Angry Red Hammer Guy - uploaded by Angry Red Hammer Guy - nominated by Angry Red Hammer Guy -- Angry Red Hammer Guy (talk) 06:30, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Oppose CA, lack of sharpness on the subject. --Peulle (talk) 17:38, 1 January 2021 (UTC)- Oppose Per Peulle --Michielverbeek (talk) 18:33, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition isn't special, either. Daniel Case (talk) 21:42, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Has some interest, but not one of the finest photos on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:06, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Comment I think I understand what you saw, and indeed the Inukshuk is nice and the surroundings are promising. However it seems the camera/lens combination was not able to deliver crisp sharpness on the Inukshuk; and there are irritating CAs, another shortcoming of the lens. In addition the colours could be better; this is (I assume) an out-of-camera JPG file, so shooting in RAW and developing later could help in that respect as it allows you to fine-tune colours, lights and shadows, etc., and also allows you to remove CAs more easily. Regarding the sharpness problem, I fear only a better lens (and maybe camera) would help; others may be able to give you suggestions on reasonable options here. Anyway, IMHO your photos show that you got the most important ability of a photographer: an eye for interesting subjects. So please keep on taking photos, even if does not work right away to get them featured ;–). No offence, I just want to help, --Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Comment No offense taken, thank you very much for this helpful comment! --Angry Red Hammer Guy (talk) 00:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose but Aristeas is quite right, this is a nice composition and it was a great idea to take the photo. It's just your lens doesn't quite offer the crispness we would need for FP (plus the CAs are a bit annoying). But it definitely has potential. Cmao20 (talk) 01:12, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
