Consensual review[edit]

@Michielverbeek: Please take a look at the picture in natural size. The cup is actually 8.5 cm high. But maybe you're right. -- Spurzem 18:46, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@A.Savin: Of course, the terrible noise is the biggest lack. But I don't see it. I withdraw. -- Spurzem 17:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is that red natural or has it been enhanced please. ~~~~ --Charlesjsharp 20:55, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
    • Yes it is natural. Please look for more photos of "Red-vented bulbul". --Jakubhal 04:44, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
      • Thanks. I have photographed this bird many times, and have not seen the vent so bright. The red below the wire didn't seem the same colour as the red above. Charlesjsharp 08:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
        • The part over the wire is in the shadow. Sorry, it seems ridiculous for me to accuse of enhancement of some selected body parts. I have better things to do --Jakubhal 08:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

  •  Question - Per w:Epeus: "Females are 7–9 mm long, males 6–9 mm." In view of that, is decent definition at 8 cm at the furthest expanse (i.e., full size on my 13-inch monitor) insufficient? How big should the magnification be? -- Ikan Kekek 05:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
    I don't know what sort of 35mm lens was used, but you need a macro lens to get close enough (I use 100mm). Charlesjsharp 08:32, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

 Comment Criticism can be and should be. But it has to remain factual and understandable, even if QI is just a game and not essential for life. But we shouldn't try to spoil the fun of the game for others, as it obviously is done here and in some other cases. -- Spurzem 14:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support Kallerna you should not judge photos on how QI should be, but how QI is. To be an outlier is not popular - I know from bitter experience! Of course the photogapher Poco a poco could play further with this image, but the same can be said for 99% of QI noms, including mine. Charlesjsharp (talk)
    For the record, Charlesjsharp, I don't play with other users' images and only do that after I got permission to do so. Poco a poco 11:16, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I know, sorry, I meant the photographer. Charlesjsharp 11:55, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Actually, "the quality of QIs" used to be something else what it is nowadays. The fact that unexperienced contributors have started to review the photos have dropped the quality. It is not how it should be. --Kallerna 17:41, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I have a lot of sympathy for your opinion, but like on FP, if you try to impose your newly-formed standards on prefectly good candidates, you will be criticised. Although QI standards have slipped, FP standards have increased as one can tell by looking at your own FPs. Charlesjsharp 19:34, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Discussion about FPs should not be here, but I disagree on that also. Maybe the size of images have increased and to some extend, the technical quality (due to the development of digital cameras) but some years ago only the extraordinary, interesting pictures got the status. --Kallerna 05:26, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

File:Humle_på_Selje_(6).jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Bumblebee feeding on Goat willow.--Peulle 07:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support Good quality. --Tournasol7 07:15, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Almost exact copy with Humle_på_Selje_(7).jpg. Please nominate only your best work. The crop should be much tigher here also. --Kallerna 04:54, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support - Good quality and the position of the antennae is different in this photo. The decision not to crop out an unsharp plant on the right is the prerogative of the artist. It's part of the form he desires. -- Ikan Kekek 10:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Just to clarify: only some 5 % of the photo is sharp, otherwise it is completely out of focus. This is also the case with the another picture. In other words, the plant is nowhere near sharp, and that is why the crop should definitely be tighter. I personally also think that these two images are way too similar to promote both. --Kallerna 11:44, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
@Kallerna: In my opinion, the composition of the picture is good. The main object is in focus and the surroundings are out of focus, as it should be with such a photo. -- Spurzem 17:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Right. This is a macro photo of a bee. -- Ikan Kekek 00:18, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Actually the used objective is not intended for macro photography. So this is just a normal photo of a small object. Compare with a macro photo of a bee. --Kallerna 11:14, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
OK, but it's still a closeup of a bee. -- Ikan Kekek 12:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment In this case, I feel I need to clarify my opinion: 1) Opposing both photos because they are similar feels a bit wrong to me; if I am to pick only one of only two photos to nominate, the reviewer should pick one to oppose and the other to promote. 2) I don't like cropping images just for the sake of it. This image was taken with maximum zoom (400mm) and I could not get closer to the bumblebee as this would have disturbed her. The focus is on the insect as it should be. The current crop also includes the plant she is feeding on, which I feel is relevant. Increasing the DoF would in this case require focus stacking, which I believe is physically impossible to achieve on this constantly moving subject. That said, it is always possible for anyone wishing to use this image to perform a crop themselves.--Peulle 19:00, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment You should pick your best work to nominate, not just nominate all pictures and then see which ones will succeed. I think we can agree that the bee is the only object that is in focus in this picture - if only 5 % or less of the photo is in focus, do you really think it's worth the status? And about the physical limitation - for starters check the work by User:Makro Freak, even I, with my mediocre photographing skills, have been able to get much closer. --Kallerna 08:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Yes, absolutely, I think this is a good example of a QI, because the main subject is perfectly sharp. The fact that there are other things in the vicinity of the subject, so long as they don't obscure it or serve to disturb the composition, is not (and to my knowledge never has been) a factor lending weight to an oppose vote here at QIC. As for whether other photographers can get closer to the insects they shoot, I tried getting closer but when I did, the bumblebees would fly away. Standing about one metre away was as close as I could get. Given that they only stayed on each flower for a couple of seconds, there was no way to get closer without losing them.--Peulle 12:43, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Ok, then we have to disagree. The fact that you couldn't get closer doesn't mean that it would be impossible - I'm only judging the result. Focused part should be the main subject, and form reasonable partion of the frame. Now the focused part forms maybe ~0.3 MP (rough estimate). --Kallerna 15:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I oppose simply because the bee isn't sharp. There is no reason to keep such a wide crop in this composition and a closer crop would reveal the lack of sharpness. It is no problem to get closer with a 400mm lens though bees are really tricky to capture. On the matter of multiple nominations, I too feel that one shouldn't nominate a batch of virtually identical images unless they show some interesting aspect of behaviour. See QI guidelines.

  • I'm still unsure about it. The difference is subtle, and a lot of the smaller branches look blue, which I guess is CA? -- Ikan Kekek 08:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment That might be due to the CA removal (defringe) indeed, not sure I can fix it. Can you point out an area that you find is particularly affected? (annotation on the picture, I can remove it later.) --Trougnouf 12:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
