  • Support Nice picture and an interesting subject/article.--Svetovid 12:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - The detail's great; makes me want to go there... Mrug2 14:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Very nice pic. See no technical problems. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 17:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support per above.--HereToHelp 00:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral for now Pretty cool, but not as cool as this version. I agree with Vanderdecken about the A6 (actually I would go E8T9A5), so I might look around for alternatives. ~ trialsanderrors 00:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
    • The DOF is kind of screwed up in that version. It looks artistic and stuff, but two-thirds of the image is blurry. =) Jumping cheese Cont@ct 03:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
      • That's not screwed up, that's tilt shift, probably photoshopped. Actually Tilt-shift miniature faking uses an Eden Project picture, but I think this one is better. ~ trialsanderrors 05:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
        • So...what good will the picture do for us if two-thirds of it is out of focus? I have nothing against tilt shift, but it doesn't exactly present the subject in a clear manner. ;) Jumping cheese Cont@ct 08:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
          • I haven't said anything other than it's a cool picture. It's copyighted anyway, so it's of no use to us. It's still always a good exercise to look around what other photographers did with the subject, an exercise far too few editors undertake. (And of course a good tilt shift picture can always be used to illustrate the tilt shift article.) ~ trialsanderrors 08:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
            • IMHO that is not even a tilt shift photo. Bokeh certainly won't look perfectly round as in this case, the transition between in perfect focus and out of focus in the hills is way to abrupt, and I think it is just a photoshop with a layer mask on a blurred version of the image. --antilivedT | C | G 08:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
              • I'm pretty sure it's photoshopped. 90% of the tilt shift pictures on Flickr are Photoshop fakes. ~ trialsanderrors 08:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
        • Tilt shift? Looks like a Thunderbirds set to me... —Vanderdeckenξφ 12:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
          • That's the point of the exercise... Maybe I should look for a good one and nominate it here... ~ trialsanderrors 20:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • That's easy to say if your writing style isn't like that of a fifth grader. :O Thanks, Jack. gren グレン 03:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
