Posted image of what bothered my eyes. Probably due to arrangement and sharpening of pencils, but it just bothers me. Dori - Talk20:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutralfor now. This is a amazing shot but it could be more perfect. The pencils are not all focused (why such a small F number?) and there are some highlights. I wonder if a lighter background would result better. But I like the idea very much and hope that Michael improve the picture a bit... Alvesgaspar20:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I could copy Alvesgaspar's comment and paste it verbatim here (except for the background which is nice to me) I like the idea and even though it's a bit picky, I'd preder the mentionned issues being fixed (shouldn't be difficult for still subjects). Benh22:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The lens was focussed very carefully on the plane defined by the pencil tips; ie just above the background but below the level of the pencil sides. --MichaelMaggs13:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
it still doesn't look very crisp, which is kind of a shame given the (I guess) conditions under which this picture was taken, and given the camera used. Actually, this doesn't matter that much (it doesn't kill what the picture is great for), and I'll probably support, but that was just because I believe it can be fixed easily.

Support Oh no ! You forgot to sharpen the pencils uniformly. :) Yes, yes we can play this game until we are raising all requirements to a exorbitant level and give FP Buttons only to a max of 5 Users. Show must go on. Very nice picture! --Richard Bartz12:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dori, I don't understand what you are looking for. The composition is centred already. Are you asking for the aspect ratio to be changed, to make the image a square? --MichaelMaggs15:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you look at my edit, you'll see that a cropping of about 18px from the right and 9px from the top would bring it more in center. As this is so minor, I'll just go neutral. Dori - Talk18:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry - cropping at the top and right by the pixel amounts you suggest produces an image-centre which is very obviously some way from the centre of the circle. The image is better left as it is. I'll just have to live with your neutral vote. --MichaelMaggs20:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If it can be fixed easily ans doesn't take that much time, why shouldn't we ask ? it's not like author needs to go out and wait (potentially 3 days it seems) until subjects are in place ;) Benh20:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Would have loved it a tad sharper and the BG some what blacker, but still with the nice colours, FP for me. Lycaon20:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
