Original - Series of images demonstrating a 6 image focus bracket of A Tachinid fly. First two images illustrate typical DOF of a single image while the third image is the composite of 6 images.
Reason
I created this at the request of Howcheng after some users commented on Fir0002's spider image. It is of good quality and EV and shows the focus changing even at thumbnail size in the articles. At commons, it is a featured, quality and valued picture.

  • Support. Are you going to nominate Fir's image for delisting? J Milburn (talk) 09:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • If this passes, then maybe --Muhammad(talk) 10:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • You have replaced Fir's image in the article, meaning that Fir's image is no longer actually used anywhere. There's absolutely no reason for us to have two images showing the same thing. J Milburn (talk) 11:07, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Well done -- George Chernilevsky talk 16:04, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very educational. By the way, does anyone know free software for Mac to do that? Hive001 contact 17:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment for me it seems a little strange that we see two shots but then the final example is using six shots. What does it look like when the two shots are stacked?--Commander Keane (talk) 22:18, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • On that note the stacked photo, while amazing, goes against visual perspective laws and kind of makes the fly look more as though you're standing right above it instead of looking at the front of it toward the back. --I'ḏOne 04:50, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Interesting subject. Encyclopedic. Eye-catching. Greg L (talk) 16:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
