Comment we are lucky JJ Harrison shares his birdies with us with little (any?) concessions. But I think he goes a bit too far with the selective NR. It's like the bird is pasted into a clean background and I notice that effect even on the thumbnails. - Benh (talk) 17:50, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Benh: imho this kind of background is perfect and "clean", because it has objects far away from the bird. Imo this has nothing to do with the NR, which is used only to take down noise. --Ivar (talk) 18:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yes I registered that long focals and small subjects yield blurry background. But it's very obvious that Noodles does selective NR and he's quite heavy handed on that. So the main subject tend to stand out even more. Here it's noticeable even on the thumbnail. It's like the bird was pasted afterwards (I know it isn't) - Benh (talk) 18:27, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Benh, JJ H and the pros and cons about his $11,000 special lens, have been chewed about over and over again on both Wikipedia and Commons. Half the users seems to love this expensive toy, other hate it. It is good for some shots, not so much for other. --Cart (talk) 20:05, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- OK this will be my last comment on it. I know that these lenses come with shallow DOF. Not discussing pros and cons. But Noodles adds on top a heavy selective NR. And it's what gives that "layer pasted on another" effect here. The edge around the head is likely not from the lens, but from processing. Not a deal breaker, but wanted to point out that sometimes even the very best go a bit overboard. - Benh (talk) 20:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- "sometimes even the very best go a bit overboard" - oh yes! Totally agree with you on that. I have lately seen people using some photographers' other images as a reason for voting for their photo. But as you say, all can fall sometimes. We should always look at the photo in front of us and not be swayed by earlier accomplishments. --Cart (talk) 20:39, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- I was talking "going overboard with the processing of the photo", not their behaviour :) (but I agree). - Benh (talk) 20:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- I understood what you meant and that's what I was talking about too. But I can see how this could be read two ways. :) --Cart (talk) 20:59, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
