Limnophora sp.[edit]

Reason: Good quality, DOF and EV. Lighting is also good considering it was taken under a canopy of trees a few minutes before a rainfall.

Weak Support. The compression seems a bit high for this image though. The bokeh in the background seems a bit posterised - jpeg compression artifacts? Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:39, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not sure so I have uploaded another version made from the original without any compression. --Muhammad(talk) 09:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is much improved, although now there is some noise in the background that could be removed. :-) Do you have good noise reduction software (Neat Image, Noise Ninja, etc), or would you like me to have a go at it? Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 09:21, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - I use PS for NR. I would be grateful if you could upload an edit. Uploading over Edit 1 should be fine --Muhammad(talk) 11:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - The software I mentioned above is far better than PS for noise reduction. It might be worth looking into. I'll have a go at the edit tonight. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 12:14, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Thanks for the edit. Noise Ninja seems good, I have downloaded the trial --Muhammad(talk) 13:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Diliff's edit fixes the noise but there doesn't seem to be much detail - it looks somewhat "smudgy". It also seems to have an inconsistent focus plane - was this a focus stack? --Fir0002 05:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No, not a stack. --Muhammad(talk) 13:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose original and edit I like it but it's just not so good. --Richard Bartz (talk) 22:59, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
