•  Info Blue whale skeleton at the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum, London, England. 'Hope', nickname of the blue whale skeleton, is 25.2 metres (83 ft) long and is suspended from the ceiling since July 14th 2017. Blue whales are the largest creature ever to have lived in the Earth. In the 1800s there was an estimated amount of 250,000 blue whales across the world's oceans. After decades of commercial hunting the species was to the brink of extinction, with only around 400 surviving in 1966. That year the world took action in London and decided to legally protect blue whales from commercial hunting. Since then the population of blue whales has steadily grown to its current level of around 20,000.

•  Comment Yeah. I wish this view could be captured without people, or at least without blurs and with people that help the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:16, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I actually find the motion blur an advantage here. Adds to the feeling of people walking about, looking, reading, discussing about the whale skeleton. Living commotion around a dead-still (nomen-omen) object :)  Podstawko  ●talk  08:31, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Well done with long exposure here. Also the composition is very deliberate, but you did make mistakes (what is that 2-pixel wide blue line next to the right edge?? Why the nose touches the bottom edge? Disturbing. Also, more light on the skeleton! Even in post-processing. Still, support for the hard work you put into this, good overall effect, and the informative value.  Podstawko  ●talk  08:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

• Thanks for your feedback, Podstawko. I checked the imagen and cannot identify the problems you mention, could you add a note for both of them? I didn't see any blue line and there is some space left between the tip of the lowest bone and the bottom crop. Regarding the exposure of the skeleton and after so many favorable votes, I'd rather leave it like this. Poco a poco (talk) 09:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

  Look at the very right edge, as in the very last pixels, of the image.  Podstawko  ●talk  09:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

• Ah, I know now what you mean, Podstawko, that's a window Poco a poco (talk) 10:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

  Yep. And it should have been cropped out. I watch this on a black background, and that blue line really stands out.  Podstawko  ●talk  10:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I reviewed this at QIC, and asked that the original file's exposure be adjusted, recognizing how hard that is to do well without blowing out the windows or introducing noise. Poco a poco has done an exemplary job. I like the people and blurs, they give the image life. Acroterion (talk) 12:38, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
