•  Comment The turtle was moving too fast for me to get better DOF without getting blur. I just hope it doesn't ruin the picture too much. --Digon3 ^talk 17:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

•  Info Paper. Its a better background than the concrete beneath it. I guess I was going for a Fir0002 style shot. There is no such thing as snow in florida :-). --Digon3 ^talk 17:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
•  Support perfect! --norro 19:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose A very sweet fellow but 2 low DoF only 30% of the subject is covered by the focus plane --Richard Bartz 20:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
•  Question Looking at the file history, why did this get downsampled from its original size? Why did some background not get cropped instead? Mfield 20:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
  • I downsampled a bit to increase the sharpness. I don't think it needs to be cropped. --Digon3 ^talk 00:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
    • My thought process was that I think the file would be more useful to everyone with as much resolution as possible devoted to the subject. i.e. crop a little white space away and then use USM rather than downsampling as a means of sharpening? Downsampling should not be used as a method of sharpening, all it is doing is throwing away potentially useful detail information. Mfield 00:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

The original is here Image:Florida Box Turtle Digon3 Unedited.JPG if you want to edit it. To me it looks a lot sharper and offsets the low DOF on the shell. It wasn't a large downsample and I don't think it needs cropping, but that is just my opinion. --Digon3 ^talk 14:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

 Oppose Kind of ordinary subject, not enough wow. I understand, technically it took quite a bit of effort, but... Crapload 05:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
