Reason: High resolution image which allows us to see the whole complex (including all four temples and the wall surrounding them). I think the quality is good enough.

Comment I just feel like I'm going to offend people, so I'll stay out of this one, but the image is soft... like the last one. I'm not sure why. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 07:38, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good composition, excellent lighting and good EV for providing an overview of the whole site. The main monument is however indeed lacking sharpness. I wonder if it has to do with the humid air. Myself I couldn't get any decent photo in Indonesia, while I am getting good pics with the same camera elsewhere. --ELEKHH^T 03:46, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Diliff pointed me towards using a bit of a different f number, which I did with the National Press Monument above. I think it's a bit sharper. But yes, this is the rainy season so the air is a bit more humid. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:39, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you're obscuring the EXIF data on a lot of your photos (I assume unintentionally) so I can't tell what f stop you used in this one. I'm starting to think it could be the lens you're using... Is it a kit lens? They're usually a bit better than that but maybe your copy is a bit duff?

This was stitched in Microsoft ICE, which got rid of the EXIF data. I think this was around f/16 like the ones you took issue with before. The one above was F/8, and it's a bit sharper (I think). Yes, this is the kit lens. Am planning on getting a second lens in the new year, but I was hoping for a longer range one (for podium shots etc.). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:53, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
