OpposeGreat light and composition, which I think deserve better processing: Topaz has left masking halos around the bird and rock; and false detail in the feathers, particularly around the eye. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 07:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done Thanks. New version uploaded Julesvernex2. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support Better, thanks. Contrast is much lower though, was that intentional? Personally I would place it somewhere between the two versions. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose The bird image reveals several issues that likely stem from digital processing, particularly noise reduction. A subtle shaded edge is noticeable on the bird's belly, leading me to believe this is an adverse effect of noise reduction, where the program fails to distinguish between noise and the bird's feathers, creating this edge. Another issue is observed in the bird's eye, which appears textureless, giving it a lifeless look, as if the bird were taxidermied. I would strongly recommend not removing so much noise. While noise can be acceptable and even natural in certain contexts, such as the inherent grain from sensors, in other instances it should be avoided, especially when it results from artificial over-sharpening. Another concern I have is the rock at the bottom of the image, which shows completely white, textureless areas, likely due to excessive reflections. It would be beneficial to see if reducing the brightness on the rock could reveal these textures and thus recover details in these areas. --Wilfredor (talk) 20:43, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- I fail to see what you're expressing. And why make the comment so long? Why not summarize the key points? Wolverine XI 06:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- There is no limitation for comments, it is long because I think it is a way to honor the author, to explain as best as possible what I intend to decide because English is not my mother tongue. Also because Charles has been doing a lot of good reviews of other photos and deserves a good review too, he has done a lot of previous evaluations but today is an opportunity to return the favor. Some people see negative votes as something bad, but in the case of Charles and yo, they are the votes that we most appreciate because if they are well argued, they help us improve.
