Comment: I don't think this will be promoted, based on DOF, lack of sharpness of body, and cut off legs. — BRIAN0918 • 2008-07-14 18:45Z
- Thanks for the comment. But I don't think DOF should be a reason since the main part of the body is in focus and a macro shot of a Harvestmen with all legs in focus is impossible in this angle. As you know, the legs are huge. Only a fraction of the leg is cut off and the image appears sharp if viwed at screen resolution (ex. 1280X1024 [Which is higher than the minimum 1000 required]. That's just my opinion. -Arad (talk) 21:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - If the body itself were completely in focus, I could see it having a chance, but I don't the body is completely in focus. — BRIAN0918 • 2008-07-15 18:50Z
Oppose Gotta go with Brian here, but it would be a great shot taken from a bit further away, with the whole animal in view. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose whole body at least needs to be in focus and the legs not clipped. Mfield (talk) 20:54, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
