Neutral don't call me picky, but the wind turbine is really a deal breaker here. And only my two cents, but NR might be a bit too strong. Far rocks can't look this "plain". - Benh (talk) 20:12, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Don't blame the NR, blame the small sensor. My camera simply can't do details of rocks that far off, but they are not the subject here and shouldn't matter that much. For me the wind turbine is what makes the image (boat, turbine and bird are all connected to wind). --Cart (talk) 20:26, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- No the size doesn't matter here. And it's not good to spread such word in my opinion (especially in a world where we often repeat things without checking). It's how much light gets through the lens and its quality which counts. I checked, and I your NR settings are high (much higher than what I used for sure). And I may add that you probably don't need to stop down to 5.6 on such a small sensor camera to get enough DOF. That would help you collect more light. So if ur camera does ISO50, I suggest u use that, and use a wider aperture. - Benh (talk) 21:35, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- I'll write a page to explain the equivalence. Just did some quick tests, and I might have insightful results to share. - Benh (talk) 22:26, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll shut up about the sensor. And thank you for all your expert advice, I'm so glad to have you here to tell me everything I do wrong when I take photos. --Cart (talk) 22:29, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- I hope it will be more clear :) the equivalence between different formats of cameras, I believe I know a bit on that. The rest, not so sure... - Benh (talk) 22:34, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- I was being sarcastic. A few friendly tips now and then, like most users at FPC do, are usually appreciated. These constant besserwisser lectures can however be rather tiresome and counter-productive. --Cart (talk) 22:50, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- I see. I'll write it still (I have started). I take advice, and I can give some. I know when I'm right, and it'll clear misconceptions hopefully. This cannot be explained a in few words, so yes, can seem like a lecture. - Benh (talk) 23:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Here you go. Far from complete (there's ISO to take in account), but you should already have an idea. And you needn't be sarcastic. I'm not the one who started it. I just made observation on the picture (as in assessment), and your justification was not correct after all. - Benh (talk) 00:04, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support very pleasing — Rhododendrites talk | 21:06, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:59, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Oppose I feel the composition is too right-heavy. The sailboat is already slightly to the right, and the wind turbine just accentuates the imbalance. Having the boat a tiny bit more to the right and the wind turbine at the far left would make for a much better scene. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:46, 28 March 2020 (UTC)- Oppose Too much happening in the photo if it is supposed to be a calm scene. Agree about the wind turbine. —kallerna (talk) 07:38, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
