  • Comment – technically not so good, there is excessive noise. Comparing to the first upload: [1], seems like the shadows were pulled up in camera or in software. My 2 cents: shooting at iso 400 using a monopod, or shooting say 10 handheld images in a row at iso 400 (camera does 7 fps) and then picking the most stable image would be an improvement.

  • Comment – Lack of tonal contrast between subject and background makes this image rather indistinct, IMO. (Too much peewah.) Sca (talk) 22:29, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will Support as we need some novelty. A very refreshing picture. This should be today's featured picture in future. --Marvellous Spider-Man 14:18, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Looks over-saturated/over-processed to my eyes, especially the reds. Otherwise, a good photo. Kaldari (talk) 01:27, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
