Info Marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus), created by pjt56 - uploaded by pjt56 - nominated by pjt56 -- Pjt56 (talk) 15:34, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Support -- Pjt56 (talk) 15:34, 3 January 2010 (UTC)- Support Beautiful picture. I was a bit concerned when I saw the file size that it might be suffering from compression artifacts or reduced color, but viewing the picture at full resolution I wasn't able to spot any problems. DOF could be a little higher, but you got the entire head and most of the body in good focus. A focus stack might have gotten better results, but I don't think the DOF is so shallow as to be a problem. The green plant parts in the lower left are a bit distracting as they intrude on the focal plane, but again, that's a minor quibble. Severnjc (talk) 17:12, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Comment The picture was taken free-handed, and the fly was gone within a second, so there was not much time for a focus stack :-)--Pjt56 (talk) 15:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
