Hey Charles, I noticed the CSS: image crop template you sometimes use for infoboxes tends to leave an undesirable chunk of blank space on the right hand side. I did some experimenting, and while I couldn't figure out how to address that problem with CSS: image crop (let me know if you have), it seems to me that Easy CSS image crop doesn't have the problem. Consider using the latter template when cropping for infoboxes. Cheers, Bloopityboop (talk) 19:30, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible to keep looking at Wikipedia over some time and start to take it for granted, "oh look, another photo by Charles J Sharp" - but each time that I look more closely, as I did again today, I see how incredibly well done they all are, from a buffalo to a small butterfly, showing each one in great detail so that the person viewing your photo really sees exactly how its subject looks, as if you had convinced nature to keep perfectly still while we examine everything. Thank you! TooManyFingers (talk) 15:21, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks. I am lucky (for now) to have the time, health and money to travel a lot, though others use higher-end equipment than I use. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, seconding this. I'm jealous that you get to travel around the world to such exotic places all the time, but also of your insane photography skills... the detail on this image, for example, is incredible. Thanks for your contributions to the project.  — Amakuru (talk) 17:01, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wishing you and yours a fantastic Christmas (or holiday season for those who don’t celebrate) and all the best for 2026. 🎄 ❄️☃️ Here’s to a collaborative, constructive year ahead — with good faith, good edits, and just enough discussion to get things done! (and here's Sir Nils Olav inspecting his troops... one of my favourite POTDs) Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 15:26, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
