  •  Oppose Nice high res photo etc, but background not really in focus. Try a longer exposure -- Tomhab 22:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Depth of field is a function of focal length and/or aperture. Density is a function of exposure. Sharpness is relative to medium and enlargement, as well as viewing distance. Pic taken with ektachrome 100, 35 mm. --Tomascastelazo 00:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't want to give a tutorial in basic camera operation, but you're right... Generally however, if you increase exposure time, you get better landscape pictures (better density and depth of field if you like). It is a shame because its a nice location, but I think it is possible to get a better photo from there. -- Tomhab 08:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment backround wrong colour and doesn't look right(focus)? --Digon3 02:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Tomhab: All pictures can always be better, even good ones. As to density, if you know the nature of slide film and the shorter dynamic range, you will find that the density is correct, detail in shadowns, detail in sunlit areas. Slide film is unforgiving in exposure errors due to limited lattitude. Color in background is called haze... moisture in air does that to landscapes, that particular day, that was the way it was. Painters use haze a lot in lanscape paintings. It give the feeling of distance. Pic taken on tripod, 28mm lens, ecktachrome 100 film, 125/f11, cable release. Canon lens and camera. A lot of detail in a small surface. Of course you cannot see the needles of the pine trees in the other side of the canyon.--Tomascastelazo 16:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Its kind of uninteresting and bland, looks like all one colour. --Digon3 18:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose This picture by far misses the impression you have, when you are really there. Of course, there will always be a difference, but it should be much smaller. Roger McLassus 10:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose — Quality of light is very low. I don't like the harsh shadow and the sky is a bit boring. Indon 16:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
