Hi Aswaran! Wow, many thanks for taking the initiative to add a gallery to the page about the diagonal method. Though I see that the descriptions do not seem to fit, and the pictures include diagonals that do not come from the corners of the images (picture 4 has even zero diagonals coming from the corners). This may incorrectly suggest to a casual reader that diagonals do not need to come from the corner, which however is absolutely mandatory. It also seems to me that pictures 2, 3 and 4 are exactly the same cropping-wise. So it could be reduced into one picture, with the diagonal from the bottom left right crossing the eye, the diagonal from the bottom right crossing the oral commissure, and the diagonal from the top left crossing the earlobe. The diagonal from the bottom left seems irrelevant. Could you fix/update this? Many thanks! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 07:01, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wow Aswaran, thank you for your quick response and for addressing my points. It looks much better this way and I made the explanation a little bit more clear. I very much appreciate that you have made an example for this, that is really very helpful! :-) If I could ask for one more favor, it would be this: to crop the picture according to the diagonal method would be even better if the line from the bottom right corner crosses through the middle of the eye's pupil. It currently is slightly too far to the left. So if you have some space left in the original image, you could allow the picture to have a little bit more room to the right-hand side. Thanks again for your contribution! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 16:20, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddyspeeder and Lopifalko: Lopifalko removed it form arcicle, because he think it's not helpfull, i don't know why! is better to ask him? Lopifalko is better to see this Edit of diagonal method too, i created an gallery but we decided to reduce it to an image, the reason for deleting it from article is: "Remove photo that duplicates the example already here, which is by Vermeer and thus a much better example of one point of the article about notable photos + "Official site" is a misrepresentation) ", the second image starded from bottom right corner not top left corner and this is common use of diagonal method technique.

Hi. If there was something I missed and your image did indeed not replicate the existing one by Vermeer then please add it back. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:44, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lopifalko: when you say your image i think you think i like to use my images, but i just see many of Britannica images newly photographed, Notable photo have difference from Suitable phot, you shouldn't only look for notable works because too many of them use in wikipedia just for they free to use and community haven't Suitable image for it, and i just get back online to undo my edit in conceptual photography, just saw you did it before, many thanks for undo my edit before me becaus it's wasn't good sample and i think is not conceptual, i think the self expression is better and right for that image.Aswaran (talk) 18:51, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, what is helpful here is that this is a photograph and the other image is a (famous) painting. In other words, this shows a different application field, and it is good that it has been added back. I do stick with my opinion described above that the cropping does not reflect the DM well, because the diagonal ought to cross through the pupil of the eye and the DM is very specific about placing objects on (not near) an object of interest. It aso explains why to me it feels like the image has been cropped a little too narrowly to the back of the face on the right edge. --Eddyspeeder (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddyspeeder: please check it now, i think now it's right, thanks for your advice.
