Tiger Woods

Reason

High quality and resolution portrait of one of the greatest golfers of all time. Note, the EV of this is NOT pertaining to the form for Woods' drive (he's already completed it), so the framing does not detract. This is a portrait, the frame allows for better seeing his face (and, like the Derek Jeter image where it's extra-nice because it's a great hitter hitting, here is a portrait of a great golfer golfing).

• Comment. Photo is quite noisey at full-res. Someone might want to run it through noise reduction to see if it can be improved. Kaldari ( talk) 19:33, 10 September 2009 (UTC) reply

• Do you know of any good anti-noise GIMP filters? The only one I've got is to kill chroma noise, so lowers the coloration of the overall photo. Staxringold _talk ^contribs 14:22, 11 September 2009 (UTC) reply

• I'm afraid I don't. Maybe someone else could help out. I'd do it myself, but I'm on vacation :) Kaldari ( talk) 15:43, 11 September 2009 (UTC) reply

• Oppose I don't think even that would fix it, Kaldari. upstate NYer 05:17, 11 September 2009 (UTC) reply
  • If someone did a Noise Reduction and then a downsample it might be up to par. Ha! Kaldari ( talk) 15:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC) reply
    • Edit 1 Uploaded. Not downsampled coz Dschwen will get mad then. -- Muhammad (talk) 16:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC) reply
      • Now his skin looks like wax; oppose edit as well. upstate NYer 00:25, 12 September 2009 (UTC) reply
• Support EDIT - Good EV, shows the man doing what he does -- Childzy ¤ Talk 18:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC) reply
• Oppose both Sorry, per issues concerned above. The edit is appreciated but it now looks artificially placed (especially with that type of opaque background). The streaks to the bottom right distract as well. Zoo Fari 03:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC) reply
• Support Edit A very good shot that is *substantially* better than any other images available. A bit of sensor dust below is left elbow could easily be fixed though. Cacophony ( talk) 05:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC) reply
• Oppose The noise could POSSIBLY be fixed with proper application of profiles and masks, but the other issues remain. Reproduceable shot, facial expression to me isn't really flattering, the fence bar or whatever it is in the background is distracting to me. The Edit 1 version is HIGHLY over edited and all detail has been lost. —  raeky ^{( talk |  edits)} 07:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC) reply
