Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Waterberg Nashorn2.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Two white rhinos eat dry grass. These animals are completely wild. They live close to, but outside Waterberg National Park, Namibia.
Reason
I think the image is illustrative because you see a rhino from the front and from the side in a single image. It's valuable because there are not too many wild living rhino pictures. It's one of the highest resolution rhino pictures we have.

  • Weak Oppose In my opinion (and I may be wrong about the technical definitions here) there seems to be a lot of noise on the rhinos themselves, especially the furthest away... It looks like it has a fur coat in fact... The horn of the closest seems very blurred too... Shame though as its a very rare photograph I would imagine...

    • This comment is somewhat unreasonable. The picture has >8MP (more than 4x as many pixels as Noodle snacks butterfly and almost 5x more than Muhammads Culex sp, both of which just got promoted). Judging images at 100% without any regard for resolution makes no sense. You are basically punishing the uploader for not uploading a degraded downsampled version that would fool amateurs into thinking that the image is tack shap. Lame! --Dschwen 23:08, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Waterberg Nashorn1.jpg has not so much noise. – Wladyslaw (talk) 08:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Image page needs English description for en:wiki. The image itself is very nice, but re quality, I'm at a bit of a loss too - with the camera and settings you wouldn't expect much noise, but there does appear to be quite a lot in the background. Perhaps the lens used? --jjron (talk) 11:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
