Oppose A decent QI, but no real wow factor for me. Also a bit hazy.--Peulle (talk) 06:23, 4 July 2019 (UTC)- Oppose A lovely place and the photo is very reminiscent of the first photos of life in Japan, but a slightly less centered point of view might have been better. Also following the lines of this nice place to the vanishing point and you get - a construction site. A step or two to the left and things might have been better (and avoided the Starbucks sign). --Cart (talk) 08:52, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

- Support Starbucks gets everywhere! A nice street scene, I like what the soft light does to it. Cmao20 (talk) 14:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

- Support A lot of wow factor actually for me, but I guess it takes a trip to Japan (or even paying attention to details alone) to realise it's maybe not that easy to get a shot like that, with proper framing, a good light and only a couple (wearing kimonos) walking in the middle of a very picturesque street. Almost feels staged. - Benh (talk) 20:46, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Comment by the way, if you used f/13 to get maximum DOF, I don't think you needed to. compared to something like f/8, you only get 60cm more of "sharp" area (1.6m to infinite again 1m to infinite with f/13) - Benh (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Benh, thanks for your review. How do you make this calculation ? See this picture for example at f/8 where the sides were unsharp, while the distance was higher than 1.6m (and the focal length wider). -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:34, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Basile, I use a DOF calculator (mine is from Photopills but they provide a web version as well. I don't trust them actually, because most don't take in account the resolution of the sensor (like the one for photopills), but my point was that maybe it wasn't necessary to stop down this much. Based on the Photopills DOF calc, you need to focus at about 3m, not at infinity, for this to work. - Benh (talk) 07:34, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
- I see. Very technical. But difficult to use in practice (in the street without computer). Here I used the autofocus, targeting the walking people. So f/13 was to get the foreground as sharp as possible, with this priority. Maybe with static subjects I would have processed differently. Interesting tool, though -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:56, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice to see a photo from Japan, but no wow --Michielverbeek (talk) 21:21, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others--Boothsift 00:51, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Perhaps the couple was not close enough, unfortunately they took a road aside and disappeared just after this picture. At midday the light was also maybe too strong -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:08, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
