Oppose halo-ing on highlights (see strap ring on left) and some other areas of softness. Is that a side effect of the focus bracketing? Mfield (talk) 18:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- From my experience with focus bracketing, the hardest part is aligning the photographs, since focal length changes with focus distance, which might account for some of the softness. However, all of the highlights seem to have halos, so I'm more inclined to think that this is mild flare. Thegreenj 22:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Focus brackets need to be perfect, and this image is almost but not quite there. In addition to the technicals of ridiculously sharp macros, I would also like to point out the the background is very similar to the color of the subject, which makes it hard to distinguish the two. Also, I don't much care for the reflection.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 23:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. At the top of the camera, the background and subject are nearly indistinguishable. As a minor side issue, there is a weird reflection on the bottom left. Contra HereToHelp, I do like the camera's reflection.--ragesoss (talk) 20:34, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
weak oppose per Ragesoss. A background with a little more contrast from the subject would really help. Matt Deres (talk) 20:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
