Paisley Abbey New Gargoyles
  •  Info created by Colin - uploaded by Colin - nominated by Colin -- Colin (talk) 18:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I'm nominating this as a poster rather than a set as the images individually are smaller than the size threshold. These gargoyles were created in 1991 to replace those that had worn-away over the centuries. The set includes "see no evil", "speak no evil", "hear no evil" and an "alien". I Hope you enjoy them! -- Colin (talk) 18:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment One frame is rather unsharp (note added). --Ivar (talk) 18:44, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It isn't as sharp as the others, I agree. I was hand-holding at 300mm (450mm full-frame equivalent), iso 400, f/5.6 and 1/320s. I guess either my Sony SteadyShot let me down, or the gargoyle moved. I tried to take a few shots of each but for some reason this one only had one shot. He's not downsampled, so the flaws aren't hidden. -- Colin (talk) 19:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC) Actually, I do have another one of this taken a few minutes later. I'd bumped the iso up to 800 and the sun came out so took them again at 1/2000s. However, there isn't any more detail in that one (due to the higher iso I guess) and the sunlight makes hard shadows and warmer colours so he wouldn't fit into the set. :-( Colin (talk) 19:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Oppose until it's fixed. --Ivar (talk) 12:49, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support At least something new. --Mile (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment As marked by Ifar: no 8 is unsharp. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I've replaced with gargoyle 8 with another of him taken a few minutes later. This time he stayed still :-) I adjusted the colour temp and contrast so he fits in with the set. After some tweaking, he did actually have much more detail than the first unsharp one. Hope this is enough. Colin (talk) 20:07, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support now. I like the idea of composing a single image from different figures. With no 8 a more frontal shot (with more face) had been better but the sharpness is now OK. Probably your idea will become a pattern for similiar shots. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about you, but I'm quite happy that Death is looking the other way :-) Colin (talk) 20:46, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Had not realized that :) --Tuxyso (talk) 20:51, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Very nice. I like the innovative idea of presenting the individual shots together. High educational value and nicely shot. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:36, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Better, thanks --Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:31, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
