Comment It looks dirty, please clean the filters and re-shoot. --Muhammad(talk) 06:39, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention the background should be a bit better lit (to make it more pure white)... or that can be handled in post-processing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:49, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think I will get a whiter background when I have sunlight. If not, I will need processing help, unless boosting the ISO would help.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:05, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have saved over edit1 twice. The day is very overcast. Maybe I can get even better light over the next few days. I can also retry this evening. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:33, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have uploaded edit1 as a new file and reverted the original.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:54, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Dust specks all over the lens cap, and what is the lens cap doing here anyway? It adds nothing but confusion to the composition. I also note that this image has only been in the article for a day. By the way Tony, can you please stop spamming FP nominations for photos you've taken of your camera equipment until at least one of them passes? They all have similar flaws.

- At least it's not spam of crap photos he's taken of Chicago again. Fuck me, that was beyond annoying. 129.234.235.156 (talk) 10:58, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - First note that these are with a DSLR instead of a point and shoot. Second, I did these three photo equipment ones together because I started with the 40mm. Then I realized that I had a four-day window to do a obverse/reverse image with the 50 mm. The filter goes with these two lenses so since I was shooting them, I did the filter too.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I included the cap based on the talk page advice of Jujutacular. I can redo without the cap. P.S. I had no intention of nominating any other equipment. These three sort of go together. They are my two prime lenses that use the same filter.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:34, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If I were to do just the filter, should I do it flat or on its side?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - You'd probably be better off asking editors who specialise in this kind of thing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Photography given that you're talking about a completely different photo from that under consideration here. Nick-D (talk) 03:29, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Close Sorry but no chance of promotion. When you've got the perfect shot nominate it then --Muhammad(talk) 08:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
