Mathematical surface which the boundaries are the trefoil knot.

Colin did you open the file page? This is a part of digitalisation project, we are filming, photographing, and with the help of community, improving mathematical articles around this objects. Some pieces we are render in a computer, some pieces we are taking files that able print objects in a 3D printer. My paper is to photograph, as the best I can, this is part of the agreement. And I darkened it deliberately as a result of complains on other similar objects evaluated here, saying that the reflex derail the attention of the object, that is why this it is so dark. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 01:47, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you darkened it too much. Why show a full reflection if not for it to add something? I think it is so dark here that much of the frame is taken up by something you can barely see. If you take a square crop, say, then you have a little reflection (which I'd still lighten compared to this) that indicates the object is on a reflective surface but doesn't take up so much dominance in the frame. My comment about computer rendering is that by taking a photo stack to achieve front-to-back sharpness, you end up with something closer to a computer render than a photo. It isn't actually sharp front-to-back, and the lighting isn't great imo, so I think you've not succeeded in demonstrating "photography" wrt models. If there was demonstrable relatively shallow depth of focus, and clever lighting, then you could achieve something that is more like photography. And if you added something natural, like a fabric, wood, fur, skin, sky, water, etc, then you might get some nice contrast between a pure mathematical model and an impure world. It's your project, of course, but computer images are often boring because the are too simply rendered, so why emulate that in a photo when you can do better? -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
