•  Comment The original colours maybe? I prefer that one but might be too blurry. --Laitche (talk) 09:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment There is also that. As thous images are made in really early morning hour around sunrise, then virtually everything is possible. I'll ask from the author about the colors. Kruusamägi (talk) 12:17, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Yes, please do so. --Tremonist (talk) 12:49, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

According to the author the image was indeed more colorful, but he reduced the colors so that the spider nets would stand out more.

BTW: the name of the image also makes a direct reference to the spider nets and means "there does the spiders sleep". Kruusamägi (talk) 13:43, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for asking :) --Laitche (talk) 14:21, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot also from me! It's a highly unusual photo. Therefore I'd like to  Support it. :) --Tremonist (talk) 15:35, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Nice spider webs. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 16:17, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment I would like to have a look at the original image with the original colours first, to see if the colour reduction was really necessary for the webs. Jan Kameníček (talk) 19:02, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support The whole thing works... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 01:59, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose very noisy and unsharp. It seems: if we don't have a good color image, so we still can make a BW image? Or what? --Alchemist-hp (talk) 15:13, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment This isn't unsharp at all and all the so-called noise could be attributed the the morning fog. With that distance and time of a day (6AM), that is clearly a very fine quality image. BW image is an artistic expression. You may like it or not, but don't make a reference to bad quality where there isn't one. Kruusamägi (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment a judgement for this kind of photo is very difficult, I think FP is not a photography technic contest but the technical elements is also important though that is not must required in every case, in my opinion. --Laitche (talk) 18:51, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --El Grafo (talk) 09:25, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose The creator is focusing on the spider webs but for me spider webs are disturbing for this image. --Laitche (talk) 09:00, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Very good, noise is not sufficient to discount the image. CFCF (talk) 10:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose not really bad, but a bit noisy, not enough contrasted for to be a good black and white image, and a bit dark at bottom. -- Christian Ferrer 17:35, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
•  Support For me this slight grain adds an aestethical value here, no matter what caused it (please note that the image exif data shows iso 100). I think the image is not unsharp, it's clear and without sharpening artifacts so one could add suitable sharpening anytime, for printing etc. I can't understand the "not enough contrasted" rebuke either. Come on, this is a dawn on a misty nordic landscape, guys; you can't really expect the author to fake the weather conditions here ;) Amadvr (talk) 12:59, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
