Fire Twirling[edit]

We had something a bit like this a while ago (the image server is running too slowly for me to find it at the mo), but there were some minor concerns over jpeg artifacts. This one by User:Haloeffect looks a little bit better and similarly illustrates a nicely dynamic subject at Fire-twirling.

Comment - It seems to be rather washed out, and the image noise and JPEG artifacting are noticable, so I've uploaded this edit.PiccoloNamek 22:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Blurry. Enochlau 02:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's blurry. To get that size of trail you have to have a relatively long exposure, and in that time the man and probably the camera too will have moved slightly. I think the fact that the twirler isn't so well defined adds to it, because if he was sharp it would draw your attention towards him and away from the fire. —Vanderdecken^∫ξφ

Support - you can't get perfect clarity and show those fire rings. Renata3 19:01, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
( + ) Support Looks fine to me. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 07:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support the edited version. The blurring actually contributes to the pic, me thinks. --anetode ╔╝ 08:25, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Vanderdecken/Support. I agree with Anetode, very nice and adds to article. It's the second version for me. —Vanderdecken^∫ξφ 12:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The fire could be sharper, and there's quite a lot of noise. I've taken better [1]. ed g2s • talk 20:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support version 2. Comment: "I've taken better" - why don't you upload one, then? ;-) Seriously, a picture like this is often a lucky shot. This one could have been a little better by using a tripod, but is quite nice as is. --Janke | Talk 14:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
