Wildflower with morning dew

One of my photos from the Dew article. More depth of field would have been nice, but I feel even so the photo is striking enough to be considered.

  • Self-Nominate and support. - y6y6y6 22:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment more DOF and less compression artifacts would be nice. --Dschwen 22:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Oppose, compression artifacts. --Dschwen 07:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose I think it is a terrible example of that sort of flower. Less dew would prove the point better. Miskatonic 00:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose Nice dewdrops. However, as you say, shallow DOF causes left petal to go out of focus. --Janke | Talk 06:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Really nice, but I wish it were a little bit bigger. Procrastinator-General 07:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose because the species is not identified, reducing its encyclopedic value. —Pengo 11:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'll try this weekend to get a larger version with less compression, and add the species name. --y6y6y6 15:02, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose too much compression, too shallow DOF, too small and a little lacking in sharpness. chowells 15:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose: One of the leaves in the foreground is out-of-focus. - Alan 09:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. but i hate to. too much dew? pschemp | talk 05:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Okay. Replaced file with a larger, sharper version with more DOF. And added species name.
    • No, it might be a tad larger, but the problems with the JPEG artifacts are still there. It has more DOF, but in full size it is not sharper at all. Also now there is a vertical stripe near the right edge of the frame. --Dschwen 06:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I've never seen a flower with so much dew on it. And the fact that there's a shallow DOF is because its of a very little subject, so you must be shooting in macro-mode.. which, inherently, has a small DOF. Not sure what else you would even want in focus. drumguy8800 - speak? 21:14, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
