  • No it's not. When you take a picture of a bright yellow object with a bunch of small light cream objects on a white background, the histogram will necessarily be to the right. But if you were to actually look at the bananas and tiles, you will see there's not even blown highlighting. The exposure is perfect. Clegs (talk) 10:22, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't just look at the histogram but also checked out some of the colour values and found many of the reds to be at or very close to 255; the green as well, for that matter. Nikthestoned 11:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's just ridiculous. If the exposure looks great to the naked eye (which it does), what does it matter if some of the reds are or are not close to 255?? The exposure is without a doubt perfect. 126.109.231.71 (talk) 03:15, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It seemed overly light, so I checked the various histograms; I don't really feel that's ridiculous. Nikthestoned 09:15, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why? It's very informative as it appears in the article. The caption sufficiently explains what we're seeing.126.109.231.71 (talk) 03:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Crisco. IP, if this picture is going to appear on the main page of Wikipedia, it needs an informative caption, so that whoever sees the picture, can get a slight knowledge of what they are looking at, without having to read through the whole article.

  • Yeah, caption issue on this page is oversold sometimes. It's more the caption, or rather description (and in fact the whole summary section), on the image page that we should be worried about, as that stays with image wherever it's put and that's what should be providing the full EV for wherever the image goes. The in-article captions can and do change without warning, but the image should link into the article content, which of course can also change before the image ever makes it to the mainpage. I do note the image page here is less informative than this caption. --jjron (talk) 02:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
