Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Snow Arowana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A silver arowana Osteoglossum bicirrhosum variant known as "Snow arowana" or "Platinum arowana" caused by leusistic (little pigmentation). From The 6th "Pramong Nomjai Thaituala" Thailand Tropical Fish Competition 2007.

It clearly displays the overall body shape and appearance of this fish, it is of a suitable size, and the contrast between the subject and background is quite striking.

  • It's well composed, but there was funny lighting happening that I wasn't sure about - when looked at bigger I could see that it's clearly been taken in some sort of aquarium and the dark parts are full of reflections on the glass of the other patrons and the windows behind them. It appears overly soft to me as well; it has been taken at ISO800 on a 400D, and I find that almost inevitably photos taken at that setting come out quite soft. It could handle some sharpening, but that will also exacerbate the problems, and there appears to be only limited detail anyway. I honestly don't think it would fare that well at FPC. It may be a suitable candidate at VPC however, although I'm not sure that the article really describes this pigmentation, so EV may be in question. --jjron (talk) 11:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
