Ganesha[edit]

A nice representation of a dancing Ganesha, and the play of light and shade. Big enough. Encyclopaedic value can be evaluated by knowing the following aspects from article FA Ganesha quoting:

"He (Ganesha) may be portrayed standing, dancing,"
"Ganesha is often shown riding on or attended by a mouse or rat."
"The number of Ganesha's arms varies; his best-known forms have between two and sixteen arms." - eight arms here.

Yes, this image is encyclopedic but it is unlikely to succeed at FPC because:

There's enough purple and green chromatic aberration to make me reach for my 3D glasses.
The shadows are full of chromatic noise and occasionally obscure detail.
The subject is poorly cut out, see e.g. top centre and bottom right.

Hope this helps. MER-C 04:06, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is not cut off, the sculpture is like that. Can the chromatic aberration be corrected? --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 04:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With the stock photoshop lens distortion filters CA can be improved in some areas, but it seems to make it worse in others, you could try spending a few hours selectively desaturating the cyan channel to improve matters, I don't know if it'd help red without effecting the rest of the image though. I'd like to add to the list that whoever cut out the image from it's background did a pretty average job, the square edges of the cropping are extremely clear. You would probably be better off with a black point adjustment if you were trying to kill noise. Noodle snacks (talk) 07:45, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
