Autumn Trees

 * Reason:This image more clearly illustrates the forests in the Eastern United States, New Jersey to be exact. This image features the changing of color in the leaves, and the leaf litter represents the falling of these leaves. Sodpzzz uploaded the image Forest in Autumn. I feel this one, which is also his, makes more sense in the encyclopedia.

 * Oppose Unfortunately, while the colours are nice and vivid, sharpness is poor which is quite curious given 1/160 shutter speed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Capital photographer (talk • contribs) 13:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Yeah, definitely looks like there may have been some vertical camera movement. 1/160th isn't that fast if you're not holding the camera particularly still. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose, I can typically handhold down to 1/125 and have on occasion gone down to 1/60 without an IS lens. Given how much coffee I drink, that is quite surprising. Capital photographer (talk) 06:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well it really depends on the focal length, but they say that generally if the focal length is 50mm, you should be able to hand-hold 1/50s. Obviously that depends on the individual though. The thing is, this photo was taken with a point and shoot camera, and a lot of people tend to be more careless with holding them, using just one hand for example, and thinking that all a good photo requires is pressing the shutter - not holding it as still as possible and not having the advantage of holding the lens with your other hand for support. I think thats why this isn't as sharp as it could be. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 22:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Um, yes. Hence I meant given the same conditions and equipment. Capital photographer (talk) 06:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - low technical quality and it's not a good presentation either. Good presentation would have to show more colour variations and whole trees (e.g.).--Svetovid (talk) 20:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose-Low quality. The picture has noi focus whatsoever.  Needs considerable work. ~ Me  ldshal  42  01:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Whole picture is slightly out of focus. Clegs (talk) 21:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
