- Support I strongly believe that this photo combines the awesomeness of the integrated circuits and high-end technology with the good old brass/copper instruments meant to support the former. Thermodynamics in it's various forms, BTW.-- Diacritica (talk) 06:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Nearly no post-processing, just erased some dust particles from the laptop lid. --Diacritica (talk) 08:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose The fan and the inner part of the laptop are out of focus and noisy, the processor that seems to be the thing that is supposed to be in focus is blurry. Did you use a tripod? With the camera you used, and the static nature of the subject I think you should be able to get much better results with a tripod and proper light.--Korall (talk) 09:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Comment @Korall. I can understand the "out of focus" comment (it was intended that way) but not the "noisy" claim. I used a very low ISO speed just to avoid that (see exif metadate). I would appreciate if you pointed me to noisy regions (other than the always difficult pure-black). I did used a tripod. If you find the processor to be too blurry, then I find your opposition legitimate :-)
- Comment I pointed out the region where I see the most noise. I do not think 400 is a very low ISO number. That is what I use for freehand macros of living animals sitting on flowers on windy days. For photos of dead subjects with a tripod I think you should be able to use ISO 200or lower. Please look here to see previous sucessful nominations of dead things.

Oppose Out of focus, or was that intentional?No anonymous votes please. Lycaon (talk) 05:18, 1 September 2009 (UTC)- Oppose -- One of the subject, the CPU, uses a very small part of the image, and the other one, the fan, is so much blurred that it's practically not possible to understand well the purpose of this object (looking only at the picture). A greater DOF would have shown better the whole. Sting (talk) 23:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
