Oppose - Watermark. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Too fast for me. Watermark was removed moments after the photo was listed here. talk→ WPPilot 15:23, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Still oppose... quality. Don't know what is wrong here, but there are essentially no new details past 50% resolution. CA on the speedboat too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:26, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. I shot this in Raw, but Wiki will not Thumbnail a Tiff @ 61mb for some reason. talk→ WPPilot 16:42, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- There should be no reason for so much lost detail... what kind of post-processing did you apply? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 20:11, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I use a few native PS filters, equalize and auto contrast, I see it too. Need to dig back up the original and review. I can always reshoot it, gives me a reason to go to the Rusty Pelican again, its only short drive away. talk→ WPPilot 02:20, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Shooting RAW or JPG? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I shot this raw, and am in the middle of a project, but, when I am done I am going to dig up the original and see what the story is. talk→ WPPilot 04:14, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question that might shed some light on this image quality problem you have here WPPilot.... Is this a stitched panorama, or did you just crop the top and bottom of a regular 3:2 aspect ratio image? I noticed that the horizontal resolution of the image is 8972 pixels, but the Nikon D7100 has a resolution of only 6000x4000 pixels. So if it isn't stitched, you have obviously upsampled the image to get 8972 pixels wide. It certainly appears upsampled based on the very poor sharpness, but as Crisco mentioned, even at 50% size, the image quality issue is apparent. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:48, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Good Eye, and it looks like you are correct. The original is only 6000w, it was not stitched, its a single pic that must have been resampled in some post process. Trying to finish a film project before I redo this, but I am going to delist this, so as to correct and resubmit. Please do not add any additional votes at this time. talk→ WPPilot 19:11, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, image quality is severely lacking. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:48, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose zooming into the buildings, the quality is not good. ///EuroCarGT 19:10, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
