Santa Ana Cave (Spain)

**Original** - Archaeologists prospecting Santa Ana Cave (Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain), searching for new archaeological levels and the end of the sediment deposits.

Reason: A very difficult shot. It shows the depth of the prospecting in the cave (12 metres from the photo). There are 6 people, three well seen and three relatively hidden.

Support Many tools of excavation visible. Foreground rocks on the bottom help give us some context. No major technical flaws.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 13:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support The flash in the foreground seems to contrast nicely with the warmer lighting down below and the image has obvious EV Noodle snacks (talk) 05:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support 18mm means the photographer could have used a slower shutter speed and a smaller aperture - f/4 doesn't have sufficient DOF and sharpness IMO. I think something like 1/20s and f/6.3 could have been used - and possibly (I'm not sure on the circumstances) a tripod and an even smaller aperture (f/8 ideally) and lower ISO --Fir0002 06:13, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good enough picture taking in consideration the technical difficult. Shooting at slower speed may cause the workers appears blur.--Jf268 (talk) 13:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support High enc. Shows the working environment for archaeologists in an interesting way. --Janke | Talk 10:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
