Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Fire hydrant

Fire hydrant edit

Fire hydrant on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Photoshop edit light in window, cropped right side to remove distracting bit.

I submit this image for peer review because it's an image that even I was taken back by when looking through my take of photos from a trip to Charlottesville. I think it potentially says "featured image" on it, but I'm wondering what others think about the subject. It is presently the lead image in fire hydrant.

Focus is a bit soft and I think I see fringing. Would also prefer daytime lighting and a dry hydrant. —Dgies^t c 08:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I like it. I love the water on the hydrant, it adds a realism to the whole thing. My only negative comment would be about the light reflected in the window in the background. I think you could crop that out, but it might destroy the rest of the picture. Rwhealey 22:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe someone talented with photoshop could fix that reflection with little problem. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I took a stab at it. I think the file size is now pretty huge. sigh. It's a nice photo. Hmm, it's looks darker too, and not as good as the original, except that weird light in window. What was that about? Was it to add lighting to the hydrant? lol - Jeeny ^(talk) 22:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - That weird light in the window is one of the hazards of nighttime photography, I'm afraid - it was a reflection of the light from a nearby lamppost. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - It looked like it was sticking out from behind the blinds, because the blinds where bent. At least that's what it looked like to me. But, I've been up all night... so I could be seeing strangs things, ya know? :) - Jeeny ^(talk) 00:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
