a shame that the stack did not include the stem.Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:22, 27 July 2021 (UTC)- It's really a pity that the flower stem is not completely sharp. But despite this flaw, I think the picture is good enough for FP. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:42, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Note on the flower spike. The flower hangs a few cm. for the flower stem. To get the stem super sharp, a number of photos are placed between the stem and the flower. My experience is that this is often at the expense of the flower. So I made the flower stem subordinate to the flower.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 15:28, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your explanations :) It is a very good photo and the stem is of secondary importance. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:50, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Agnes, I don't think it's needed here, but one way to address this issue in future images is to use the 'slabbing' technique: instead of making a single stack for both the flower and the stem (which, as you mentioned, could result in a less sharp or even ghostly flower), you make two sub-stacks (one for the flower and one for the stem) and then stack those together. Zerene Stacker has an automatic slabbing option, but the same can also be achieved manually in Helicon Focus or Photoshop. Julesvernex2 (talk) 18:22, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your suggestion. I don't know that edit. But I'm going to delve into it.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 04:27, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

- Comment I noticed that in the gallery the ratio between male and female paintings in 2:17, which is could be a Wikipedia illustration for gender inequality (see also: en:Sexual objectification). --Andrei (talk) 21:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- You're not the first one to notice that; I think it reflects that historically a lot of painters have been men, and they have either been commissioned or chosen to paint a lot more women. Daniel Case (talk) 00:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Good thinking, but not that interesting a painting to me. w:Henry Scott Tuke shows a number of more interesting compositions. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:52, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Scott is complicated because most of his works are kept in small galleries or private collections. Those, unlike major national museums, do not have serious digitalization projects and therefore most of his paintings are simply not available in good quality. And not everything is in PD. On the other hand, this particular piece provides "in a nutshell" all his characteristic features, including the marine theme, sensitivity, youth, combining nature and human, isolation and anonymity. Similar yet a bit more promoted painting can be found here (National Trust, not HD quality). In the broad category can be found more complex scenes, yet they often lack the atmosphere which is present here (or sometimes they are slightly badly framed). --Andrei (talk) 22:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- There are also great male nudes by Renaissance master painters and so forth, just saying, and of course loads of sculptors have made male nude sculptures. Some very famous and great artists who aren't known as specializing in male nudes for the majority of their work nevertheless did great male nudes. So there should be lots to choose from if we're looking at this by motif. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:18, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- No doubt in that, yet, on my opinion Henry Scott Tuke is important enough and deserves a nomination --Andrei (talk) 23:49, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Like I said, I do see some other compositions that look more interesting to me. I disagree with Daniel's opinion: Inevitably, part of the evaluation of whether a photo of an artwork has wow is a person's reaction to the work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

- What is it doing? It seemed to be repeatedly sallying out from this and nearby perches. — Rhododendrites talk | 21:34, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Resting between forays. Many dragonflies (but not damselflies) return to the same perch to rest. This makes them quite easy to photograph. Many photographers (not me) use tripods. Others, like the large hawkers, seldom stop are are a nightware to find perched. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:24, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- So when they perch, they are no longer looking for prey? They wait until they take off to do that? — Rhododendrites talk | 14:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- That's right. Of course they may be hunting for a female. I've never seen this dragonfly, but it seems to be about half the size you suggest. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:13, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment For those who stop by but opt not to vote, I'd be curious if File:Eastern amberwing (75148).jpg would be a better candidate. It's a bit sharper -- I just liked the look of this one. — Rhododendrites talk | 14:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

- I think it's typically frowned upon to have an alt of a different image (as opposed to a different version of the same image). Before this goes much further, let's put it to the supporters thus far. @Kritzolina, Michielverbeek, Daniel Case, Tournasol7, and Vulphere: should I withdraw this one and nominate File:Eastern amberwing (75148).jpg in its place? — Rhododendrites talk | 15:03, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

- One tusk would not likely not make an elephant FP, when there are so many to photograph with two. Of course there can be 'character' FPs with obviously damaged limbs or whatever. The point about this butterfly image is that you cannot tell it is damaged unless you know what it should look like. We risk devaluing Commons FPs. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose I reluctantly agree with the others - absolutely beautiful, but not an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:19, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Very good framing, would be absolutely beautiful … Could you repeat this shot with a tripod, or is no tripod allowed in that church? It could also help to focus just a bit nearer, loosing a little bit sharpness on the altar, but gaining much sharpness in the middle ground. --Aristeas (talk) 18:04, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- It is not possible, some churches in Quebec do not give permission to take photos with a tripod. I asked the parish priest and the archdioses for permission to no avail. It is the best take I could do, I could have uploaded a downsized version but I preferred to upload a full size version. Thanks for your question and comments --Wilfredor (talk) 01:44, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry, it’s a pity! Yes, sometimes the Church people are very helpful (once a sexton even asked me if she should turn on additional lighting which is normally used only for Xmas ;–), and sometimes they have absolutely no understanding; sometimes asking for permission works, sometimes it fails … In the case of this beautiful church that is especially regrettable. --Aristeas (talk) 08:44, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- I used a well-written letter format and sent it to many religious organizations. The most beautiful churches answered no, unfortunately, since they had their own photographer. It was difficult to explain that the photos had to be licensed for commercial use. It is very unfortunate that I cannot use a tripod. I also had very positive experiences in which they left me with full access to the Lights panel, I spent a whole day in the Church taking photos, but as I said they are not the most beautiful --Wilfredor (talk) 00:58, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

To my eyes, the Rhinoceros unicornis in this image looks a little older. Does having the Rhino face right or left make a difference?

- Oppose Poorly composed—there's a lot distracting you from the subject—and poorly done from a technical standpoint: there's a lot of unsharpness, purple fringing on the floodlight, and a near-blown highlight in the middle. Daniel Case (talk) 05:51, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

I see there are 2 "negroes" with turban, drawn in the time when fez was replacing turban in Ottoman Empire. But my grandad wore fez in the time of Ottoman Empire and even after the Balkan war and expelling Turks from Balkan. It was more folklore than religious rule.

- Oppose The current image is tilted and strangely dark, although it looks like the light was bright. The previous version looks to be a totally different shot (the egret is gone), and is much more appealing (the light, colors, perspective), even if the level of detail probably still is not up to FPC standards (the highlights are blown out, for example, which may be why we have a new version?). — Rhododendrites talk | 20:14, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

- Info Trustom Pond is a closed lagoon in Rhode Island. When I visited on a recent trip to the region, it was very foggy. Not so good for close shots of wildlife, but I found the islands behind the fog very beautiful. I took a bunch of shots and I think this one, with the tangles of branches and ospreys visible was most successful, but this is one of those nominations where I really don't know what FPC will think. all by — Rhododendrites talk | 20:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Lovely picture; I love the bonus ospreys, and the tangles of bare branches. I am wondering if it would be possible to increase the contrast/reduce the fog ever so slightly on the foreground to bring it out a bit more, without ruining the mood. It's a delicate balance, since that fogginess and low contrast is part of what makes this image stand out, but I feel like it's just slightly challenging to separate out the foreground and details, and a touch more contrast might help accentuate the layering of the fog. I wouldn't say it's necessary, just wondering if you'd tried it. --Lambda (talk) 18:01, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- I did play with it quite a bit in Lightroom, experimenting with how to handle the fog and foreground/background. Ultimately I wound up with something pretty close to the original. You can see a couple other attempts in here, though I didn't upload any where the island was quite clear (I didn't find them as interesting, and too removed from the scene I saw, which was indeed quite foggy). — Rhododendrites talk | 13:20, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Female ospreys are a little bigger on average, and have more dark chest feathers on average, but there's enough variation that it's hard to say conclusively for any one bird. Seeing a pair together makes it easier, but I can't tell from this photo (I'm also not sure this is a pair -- there were about five ospreys hanging around this pond). — Rhododendrites talk | 13:20, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment MacMoreno 19:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)The design of the published trophy aims to increase the content of Wikipedia. Designed and made available to the community, as many of us do it with photos and texts. I believe this design differs from the true three-dimensional trophy, even if the general aspect is similar, it has no proportionality compared to the original and the details of the decorations are not the same, but simply remembers these elements. This reproduction can be considered as a parodistic work and not a copy. In response to the comments mentioned above I can say that it is not a simple automatic rasterization, but the image has been rebuilt with a vector program. Thanks for your attention.
- Comment I nominated the file because it is not obviously "a simple rasterization" but a (IMO) beautiful depiction with such level of detail and plenty of elements that caught my attention. As another user said, it could be also nominated for "valued" image , so I consider effort and dedication by the uploader to design (and not rasterize from a photo) this vector graphic deserves recognition.

- Comment I appreciate that you want to catch the contrast between the darkness of the building passage (interrupted only by the lantern) and the light on the façade in the background, but like the others I feel that there is too much empty darkness. Maybe we could try a compromise? I have been thinking about a square crop – see image note – which keeps enough of the darkness to show it (including the lantern), but shifts the balance a bit more towards the light … Just an idea, of course! --Aristeas (talk) 15:59, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment In addition to the crop as suggested by Aristeas, I find this is improved with a slight increase of overall exposure or a tone curve adjustment that brings up the high end. Even the bright part of this image looks a little bit dark, and you have some latitude to bring it up before you start clipping. --Lambda (talk) 16:43, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Maybe you could also consider Lambda’s hint (i.e., make the whole picture a little brighter) and/or sharpen the bright façade in the background a little bit. Then the picture would be changed so much that, in my opinion, a new nomination would be OK. Or I could (re-)nominate the image for you, if you like.

I would very much like to try to rework the image according to your comments. --Carsten Steger (talk) 06:09, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment The darker the trees are, the more unsharp they seem. I still don't think this is one of the best images on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:16, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per Daniel. Trees look as if this was a phone shot (I am aware it isn’t), rather watercoloured than photographed. Then, it’s a bit dull and lacking contrast IMHO. Resolution is not great, which can’t be made up by sharpening. Why ISO 800 and f/14? Wouldn’t ISO 200 and f/8 have given a sharper image? --Kreuzschnabel 16:20, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment The airplane I am piloting while taking this kind of aerial images moves at 50 m/s. Furthermore, the aircraft is probably rolling, yawing, and pitching a little bit while the shot is being taken. In addition, there typically is thermal movement of the air, potentially causing the aircraft to shake, especially on a sunny day around noon, like in the picture. Finally, aircraft windows are typically tinted with a brownish color. Therefore, I take these photos with the pilot's window open. The 180 km/h virtual wind that is caused by the movement of the aircraft creates turbulence in the cockpit, and thus potentially causes the camera to shake. All of this creates potential motion blur. Therefore, the exposure time must be very short to have a decent chance to get a sharp image. In addition, one should fly at least 2000 ft (600 m) above ground for noise abatement reasons in Germany. This means that you are at least 1 km away (typically, much farther) from the object you are trying to photograph since you are not looking straight down but at an angle. Therefore, you have to use fairly long focal lengths (unless the object you are trying to photograph is very large), which means too little depth of field if you are using large apertures (small f-numbers). Hence the large f-number. To achieve large f-numbers and short exposure times, I use larger ISO values. I have experimented for a while with smaller ISO values, but this resulted in a much larger percentage of shots that were motion blurred and the ones that weren't didn't look sharper. This setting is the best compromise I have found so far. I hope this explains the technical challenges of taking aerial images a little bit. --Carsten Steger (talk) 19:49, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Das deutschlandspezifische Überlandflughöhenminimum von 2000 ft wurde meines Wissens 2015 durch SERA abgeschafft, d.h. abseits von Ortschaften und Menschenansammlungen darfst du rechtlich jederzeit auf 500 ft AGL runter. Und ohne das jetzt durchzurechnen, glaube ich nicht, dass auf die hier gegebene Entfernung f/8 eine zu geringe Schärfentiefe erzeugt hätte, aber deinem Ziel einer möglichst kurzen Belichtungszeit wäre sie durchaus entgegengekommen und hätte weniger Beugungsunschärfe erzeugt. Generell bewerten wir hier ausschließlich Bildergebnisse, ohne widrige Umstände gegenzurechnen :) --Kreuzschnabel 22:25, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Vielen Dank für Deine Bemerkung in Bezug auf Druchrechnen des Tiefenschärfebereichs! Die finde ich ganz hervorragend. Das hätte ich gleich machen sollen statt mich auf meine Intuition zu verlassen. Ich habe das jetzt nachgeholt. Du hast vollkommen recht: f/8 reicht von der Tiefenschärfe für alle Szenarien in der Luftbildfotografie, die für mich relevant sind. --Carsten Steger (talk) 06:22, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support Google's translation of "Autoportret w białym stroju" is "Self-portrait in a white outfit". Is it a white shirt or a white dress? I can't tell for sure because we don't see what's below the belt, but it does look frilly like a dress. Anyway, it's a striking self-portrait and a good reproduction. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- But "dress" can also be "clothing of a specified kind for men or women", no? So here's a dress of a painter/butcher. Museum also proposes "attire". Its a mess, as always. --Andrei (talk) 07:39, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support Thank you very much, XRay, for the nomination! – I guess you may wonder what you are looking at ;–). The photo shows a detail of a window, ca. 8.5 × 5.7 cm (3.35 × 2.23 inch). The window pane is made from a simple kind of so-called decorative glass (a.k.a. patterned glass, textured or obscure glass); it looks like this product, and the vertical stripes in the photo are produced by the fluted structure of the glass. The decorative glass acts as a diffuser. The colours you see in the photo are actually an image of the outside world, but heavily diffused or “abstracted” by the decorative glass; the red comes from the roof of a house, the green from the plants in the garden. Because the glass works as a diffuser, everything in the photo consists of smaller and larger gradations. IMHO it’s amazing that something as simple as a fluted window pane, if you only look closely enough, shows these complex gradients and creates an abstract image. --Aristeas (talk) 10:10, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

- And again and again: Not every image has to be primarily suitable for Wikipedia. An encyclopedic value is not required. However, my imagination does not go that far to rule out a possible use in this context as well. It would be good if we could concentrate here on one look through the eyes of a media library and not always indulge in the limitations of the encyclopedic value. --XRay 💬 11:56, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

- For example, this could be an excellent cover image for a textbook, such as a book on optics; or it could be a good illustration of the aesthetic value of decorative glass in architecture. Commons is not simply a repository of media for Wikipedia, it is an open content repository for any educational media, whether it is appropriate for use in an encyclopedia, textbook, news, reference, or anything else. And of course, it can be used as an illustration of the obscuring properties of decorative glass like this; even if it's possible that an image which shows both the glass and the scene behind it would be better for such a purpose, featured picture is based on "wow" factor, not necessarily peak illustrative value, and this particular image does have that "wow" factor. --Lambda (talk) 17:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

- Info Snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis), Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. What you see here is a predator, related to jellyfish (but without a medusa stage in their lifecycle), that ensnares prey of suitable size that comes within reach of its tentacles immobilizing it with the aid of their nematocysts (explosive cells that contain one giant secretory organelle that can deliver a sting). The prey is then transported to the mouth and thrust into the pharynx. This species is widely consumed in Andalusia and is known as ortiguillas de mar (literally, "little sea nettles", because it has urticant properties before it is cooked). The whole animal is marinated in vinegar, coated in a tempura-like batter, and deep-fried in olive oil. All by me, Poco a poco (talk) 21:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Oppose Not quite there for me. As Ikan Kakek mentions, could use a crop; the foreground grass and trees just swallow up the building. Horizontal lines on tower camera left are slightly off horizontal, leading it to feel unbalanced.Fog is a bit thin and doesn't add much to this photo. And a bit lacking in "wow" as Karelj mentions. Fixing the crop and distortion would bring this up to neutral for me, might need something else to add "wow" for support. --Lambda (talk) 16:18, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose Light isn't working. I think you need to find a time/date when that dome will be lit such that one appreciates its roundness. The hint of mist and golden light isn't enough to rescue what is rather a drab facade. -- Colin (talk) 07:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- That's not really possible; this view is from the northeast, so illuminating the dome while not leaving the entire facade in shadow would require the sun to be directly due north, which doesn't exist in the Northern Hemisphere. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:34, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose I can see what you might have been trying to do but it doesn't come across here. Frankly I've always thought the better views of this building are from the other side, where you can get the Manhattan skyline into it as a background (and unfortunately I remember that view most because of coming down there a few days after 9/11 and getting, along with hundreds of other people just staring silently at it, a reasonably closeup view of the twisting column of black smoke still rising from the center of Lower Manhattan.

- Info I'm nominating a set that provides a comprehensive view of a blue shark (Prionace glauca) photographed between the islands of Pico and Faial, Azores, Portugal. The blue shark is a species of en:requiem shark, in the family Carcharhinidae, that inhabits deep waters (images taken though between 5 and 10 meter below water) averaging around 3.1 m (10 ft) and preferring cooler waters. They can live up to 20 years, can move very quickly and feed primarily on small fish and squid, although they can take larger prey. I hope you like it and IMHO a nice way to say "hello!" again :) All by me, Poco a poco (talk) 13:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose Head detail is perfect, following are ok, but front (head is oof) and rear view (posterization, quite low resolution and noise) are no go for me. --Ivar (talk) 16:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Agree, some shots are better than others. I can on the other side hardly think of more challenging conditions that those here to take this kind of shots. Real underwater, wild animal, that moves very quickly. --Poco a poco (talk) 08:27, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I'm somewhat new here, and I don't see any guidelines on how to evaluate image sets, so I'll just comment for now. If evaluating them individually for FPC, I'd agree with Ivar on both of the last two. If taking them as a set, I'd say that the slight OOF head on the front view is fine, while it might not be technically perfect individually, it's a valuable addition to the set. The tail image is still not, it's dark and noisy and posterized, and I would drop it from the set or find an alternative. Viewed as a set, one last comment is that the colors and tones aren't quite balanced between the images; the tail image is darker than the others, the blues don't quite mach, and while there may be some occlusion of the shark from closer and further pictures, the colors of the shark could be better balanced between the images as well. --Lambda (talk) 03:16, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your constructive comment, Lambda. I agree with what you say, the front view is probably the best shot because it is indeed menacing, the problem (from the photographic point of view, but indeed a good thing) is that sharks were not targeting me and therefore that shot was pretty exceptional, in an aquarium you could have more luck with that angle. Please, have a new look to the image again, I've applied some improvements. I could still offer a second shot for the front: File:Tiburón azul (Prionace glauca), canal Fayal-Pico, islas Azores, Portugal, 2020-07-27, DD 27.jpg but I still prefer the one I nominated.
- I also improved the tail shot, now is brigter and denoised. I can offer 2 alts for that one if you believe it is still not over the bar: File:Tiburón azul (Prionace glauca), canal Fayal-Pico, islas Azores, Portugal, 2020-07-27, DD 12 alt.jpg or File:Tiburón azul (Prionace glauca), canal Fayal-Pico, islas Azores, Portugal, 2020-07-27, DD 29.jpg. I believe that a view from the tail is necessary for the set to have it complete.
- I also tried to harmonize a bit colors/luminosity and therefore I retouched the head, the tail and the top view, but please, don't expect equal tones. WB is anyhow a big challenge underwater. Even having the same WB settings the tones will dramatically vary depending on the depth I was at that moment, the amount of water between me and the subject and (mostly) whether I looked up or down to take the shot. Poco a poco (talk) 09:00, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support Thanks for the edits! Definitely a support now. There's still some posterization on the tail photo, but with the other cleanups I think it goes well as part of the set. I definitely understand, you're not going to be able to balance them exactly, but this is the kind of edit I was thinking of. --Lambda (talk) 15:55, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support Welcome back Poco --IamMM (talk) 08:59, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, glad you returned. I wish there was better definition of what a set should be and whether each image has to be FP on its own. I wouldn't nominate this lot as a set, but can we establish the rules? Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:17, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- I used the third condition for a set (A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints) and I understand that it needs to be comprehensive which I think, is given here. One of the few advantages of underwater photography vs surface photography is the fact that it's possible to photograph a fish from all viewpoints. That's difficult for a spider, a lizzard or even a bird. And don't worry, I don't have many sets in the pipeline, maybe another one with 2 images, but I believe this photographic session was kind of special and deserves a FP set. Still, I agree that it is possible to precise the requirements for sets a bit more, yes. --Poco a poco (talk) 21:01, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support Nice to see you've been swimming with the sharks during your absence . Daniel Case (talk) 03:32, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose As others have noted, this is a bit of a mixed bag. The only one I think approaches FP technically is the head shot, being relatively sharp and clear. The only one at FP for composition is the front view, which is indeed a good catch, but only the rear is sharp and the face is blurred. The side view's not bad, and I could see that illustrating the various features of the shark body, though the tail is blurred. The detail view of the head is arguably just a "crop with your flippers" version of the side view, not a different angle. The rear shot is very weak (3MP). As a whole, it is very useful to have various viewpoints of the same shark, but I don't think that alone is enough to earn a set nomination at FP. Many of us have taken photos of subjects from various angles, and find that only one is good enough, or even that none quite tick all the boxes. Llez makes a comparison with the shell photos of different angles, but those are nominated as a single collage photo, not as a set nomination, and all the angles are equally high standard technically, even if some angles are more beautiful than others. I appreciate there are technical challenges in underwater photography. The photos in an FP set are expected to all be of FP standard, and only a bit of allowance made for a weak entry. This set doesn't reach that standard IMO. It is not uncommon for a set with weak parts to be renominated for the good bits. -- Colin (talk) 08:36, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Just to many of them. Let keep some normal quantity.--Mile (talk) 09:02, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Can you please elaborate your comment, Mile? which one of the 6 images should be removed from the set in your opinion? Please, bear in mind that my target here was to provide a comprehensive view of the subject following the 3. set criteria (A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints). I'd understand (and share) you comment in a case like this one, but not here. Poco a poco (talk) 13:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- We have 30 nominations, guess what mess would become if all would have 6 shots per nominee. To remove, i just checked Front view, foucs is in the middle and not on face. Even if all others are fine, this one spoil it. See goodness of one by one. --Mile (talk) 20:23, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support Good to see your images again, Poco. While the invidual images have strength, they work best for FP as a set - most wow and multiple view angles. --GRDN711 (talk) 14:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I have opened a topic at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates#Set Criteria which gives examples of sets that fail for either "That doesn't meet the criteria for being a set" or "Those don't all meet the criteria for featured picture quality". -- Colin (talk) 19:02, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Same subject doesn't mean same species. This and this are definitely two different sharks, which means there were more than one around. --Ivar (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

- Question Could you say more about the gradient, so I can try to see what you're seeing? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:47, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- I think Daniel is referring to how both the sky and the trees darken in the top inch of the photo. I assumed the lower trees being lighter was due to some low lying mist, and the sky does often naturally brighten nearer the horizon, but both could be due to a gradient filter. I note that there is an uncropped embedded thumbnail, which has similar effect on the sky, and might represent the out-of-camera version. -- Colin (talk) 19:25, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Info created by Pete Souza - uploaded by JMK - nominated by JMK -- JMK (talk)
- Support -- The statue somewhat off center, should perhaps be cropped, but I like the oval halo centered on both the statue and Mr Obama, the notability of the subjects, the alignment of the subjects which mostly present separate figures, the mood which is enhanced by the mist, the interesting purplish colour, the focal points of family and gazing statue, and their gaze or attention which is mostly focused on the statue. The steps below obscure their feet and is one of several distractions, but at least its a straight line. JMK (talk)
- Support -- I find that the obstacles and slight assimetries actually enhance this image. The "distractions" make it feel natural and non-staged while not obscuring too much the subjects, which are notable and interesting. YuriNikolai (talk) 23:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support I think I would like this if it were the family of Joe Schmo in the picture, rather than Barack Obama. Therefore, I support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:12, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support Very atmospheric. – Has anybody got an idea about the appropriate gallery section? First I considered Commons:Featured pictures/Historical#1990-now, but per Ikan’s argument this is not a typical “historical” photo: it would work also with an arbitrary family and it does not show Obama doing official political work etc. And Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Sculptures#Statues outdoors does not fit because the statue of Christ is not the main subject of the photo. So Commons:Featured pictures/People#Standing people seems appropriate, but is rather vague. Any suggestions? --Aristeas (talk) 07:09, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- It's a difficult question because we're seeing people's backs and the statue in fog. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:57, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Aristeas, my suggestion is Commons:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena#Fog because mist (fog) is the main factor in this picture. MZaplotnik(talk) 13:50, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- @MZaplotnik: A nice idea! Well, it’s still difficult to decide – all ideas apply, but no one is is simply convincing … (Probably it is a special strength of this photo that it does not fit easily in any typical pigeonhole, but is creative and unmanageable ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 17:10, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Great photo, of course, but at the same size, it's noisier than File:Photograph of a Workman on the Framework of the Empire State Building - NARA - 518290.jpg. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:41, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I think that's because in this one somebody tried to enhance the contrast so that in the shadow areas the blacks are clipping. Similarly, the highlights on the glove have been pushed too far. They are rolling off nicely in the other version, but here they are clipping harshly. Over-all that makes the image appear sharper at small sizes, but is comes at a price. --El Grafo (talk) 09:26, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Definitely a valuable photo, but I'd prefer a deeper depth of field, so that the magnolia berries were sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:35, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- It might be taken outfocused, but the original subject seems to be as soaked as decolored (like back one). So it could be too softened rather than outfocused.— Sadopaul 📁 12:26, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support Well done food photography and good composition. The colours of the cloths mirror the colours in the bowls and form intersecting lines through the circles. I'd like to know a bit more about what I was seeing. The omija-hwachae article suggests the pale submerged lumps may be little chunks of Asian pear and that pine nuts are floating as garnish. Ikan, I'm not sure what you are referring to wrt sharpness. I think the magnoia berries have perhaps been used to extract a juice/punch, but aren't present as whole berries here. It seems sharp enough to me. I wonder if the bowl in the background is a different fruit punch? Can the description be enhanced. -- Colin (talk) 11:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose This may be a good candidate for VI, Wikipedia FP and/or maybe QI (although the stack is not perfect and the lightning is suboptimal). It is good and useful. But it is a straight-forward studio shot that does not excel at anything, that does not stick out among the masses of similar shots in any kind of way. Sorry: no WOW for me. --El Grafo (talk) 06:55, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per El Grafo. Stitching is far from perfect, some blurry areas within sharp ones at same distance. Shadow too dark IMHO, plus crop too tight. A more interesting background could have supplied some wow. --Kreuzschnabel 08:52, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose 50mm is not a good lens for macro, forcing you to be too close to the subject thus resulting in close-up distortion. There are also uneven shadows. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 14:41, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose Bad light. Distracting background effect top right. Take the hood off, it hides the lens. Try to remove more dust and failing that, remove it in post. At the end of the day, this is just a black tube with some glass inside, so pretty boring unless you can light it well. There's little point in focus stacking a tube. As others have noted, the short focal length of the lens used makes this a bit too much "in your face" for comfortable product photography. -- Colin (talk) 17:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

- Info Short-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus), Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. Seahorses have a very restricted home range because they have very limited daily movements. Hippocampus hippocampus are known to be ambush predators whom feed on live, moving food, mostly tiny shrimps (ca. 30-50 a day). They will remain still until a small animal passes within reach and then grab it. They do not have teeth or a stomach so they use their snout to suck their food straight into their gut. Seahorses are considered ovoviviparous but the particulariy that the female deposits eggs into a pouch on the males stomach, called a brood pouch, and the male goes through pregnancy and labour.

- Are you seriously asking what is special about it and also expecting that all around is blue?
- I'd rather ask what is special about flowers that you find in a meadow, don't run away and you can spend 1 hour to take the shot. How would you expect the same results in terms of detail, dof, bokeh, compo and so on in a studio photo of a sport shoe taken at home or a flower in a botanic garden and in a case like here? have you ever seen a seahorse at all outside an aquarium? do you often see this kind of subject here at FPC? no? then guess why.
- If you had read the introduction of this nom, you'd maybe realize that there will always be something nearby the seahorse, as they are not good swimmers and look for something to hold. You don't find this animal in the middle of the ocean like in the case of a shark.
- You can oppose as usual if you like, but please no bullshit that others could confuse. Thank you. Poco a poco (talk) 21:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

- Mile: The difference here is that you have no idea about wildlife photography, underwater and all challenges there. I've spent several hours for studio shots, spherical panos and all that stuff. The fact that you have to insult proves in fact that you have no arguments. Next attack will be reported and I'll ask for a block. Poco a poco (talk) 10:19, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Poco a poco not sure who should be blocked here. Can you report it and ask ? --Mile (talk) 10:56, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Poco, you are "back" less than two weeks, and already you are making personal attacks and swearing at reviewers for daring to oppose (KoH and Charles leaving negative comments but not daring to put an oppose vote down is quite illustrative of the problem that causes). We are tired of reading how reviewers "have no idea" and so are incapable of measuring your greatness. While personal experience may help, it is not a prerequisite for reviewing at FPC and insulting the knowledge of reviewers is a personal attack. It is particularly ridiculous for you to get all "I'm surrounded by ignorant fools" on this photo which illustrates a well known newbie mistake in diving photography. Poco, you are heading towards a topic ban at FPC if you carry on like this. -- Colin (talk) 17:38, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

- Comment The flower that is stacked is impressive, but the two that are behind are sooo out of focus that it looks a bit strange. I think it would have been better to isolate the flower so that there wasn't anything nearby. Alternatively, I wonder if there a way to merge this stacked photo with another taken with much great DoF where the rear flowers are out of focus but not nearly so much. You could use f/22 even because we don't care about diffraction softening. -- Colin (talk) 10:43, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- It's strange because it is more than 1:1 - typical macro lens ratio (anyway we even dont see here much on 1:1). For other suggestion, probably it is possible, but i would go other way, i would set biger step, some 4-5 (here was minimal on 1) and make with the same setting, just would focus from end to further from 1st flower. Wondering what would back of flowers look like on f/22 if some part would be on f/8 and other on f/22 (not same EV). We might try some day to get clear. --Mile (talk) 12:48, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support The top crop is unfortunate. Regarding the subject I think that the photographer wanted to show the juxtaposition or confrontation of the empty cave of the Buddha statue (only its shadow remains) with the two veiled women, in order to portray the consequences of the rule of the Taliban. In this respect, both the cave and the women, or the juxtaposition of both of them is the subject, and especially in the light of recent events I like the idea a lot – the image seems to prophesy the future of Afghanistan. --Aristeas (talk) 17:36, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose Background cut at the top. Also quite a small resolution in 2021. It's always tempting to mix actuality with FPC, we had similar nominations related to Hong Kong, Bolsonaro, and other hot events, unfortunately the result is rarely in adequacy with what we call "best picture". Better to take a step back in my opinion in these circumstances, and wait for better candidates -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:04, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hong Kong is different, the city is open for visitors. In Afghanistan, on the other hand, visiting is complicated (especially outside of big cities). This photo is made by the army, who used to have slightly better access to resources. It was taken in 2012 so it is also historical. Photographing women in the country is also extremely unwelcomed. In 1996–2001 photography was banned altogether. I do not think we will get better quality photos any time soon. --Andrei (talk) 11:14, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Is it supposed to be an extraordinary picture because it features covered women? There are millions like these in the world. The only special thing I see here is the historical background, unfortunately missed by the photographer. Cut top means "I don't care" in my view. You say "photographing women in the country is extremely unwelcomed"? well, I wonder what these women think, then, being shot that way. 2012 is not so old. Every picture is "historical" in its kind. Not an FP for me. Composition problem -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- All your work is extremely well staged and framed. But this is just a different style :) There's NatGeo and there's VICE. --Andrei (talk) 13:28, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Here this is VICE, then, right? Technically, the colors are bland and the light dull. Moreover, they don't match the source. According to Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer, the brightness has been increased 50%. Not sure you take pictures, Andrei, I don't remember any nomination from your camera.

- Oppose per what others have written above. I'd also like to point out some things I noticed about the map. I think it's on a good way already, but not quite FP level yet. On a technical level, the main problem with this map is, imho, that it has a strange balance of simplification vs. detail. The the general look & feel of this map is that of a simple overview street map for a tourist, like the ones you get for free at the hotel reception. It prominently shows names of the most important roads, landmarks, and what appears to be metro stations (legend is missing!) in a clear and simplistic way. The buildings, on the other hand, are very detailed. However, all that detail is practically lost because of the low contrast of 1) buildings vs. roads and 2) building areas vs. building outlines. For a simple tourist map, it would make sense to merge adjoining building polygons of individual houses into simplified polygons for entire blocks (also applies to parks an other greenery). Alternatively, I may have misunderstood the purpose of this map and I'm supposed to use it in a zoomed-in state where I can clearly see the individual buildings. In that state the opposite problem exists: most of the minor roads have no labels at all. Or is it intended to be used in combination with the aerial image, as an annotation layer so to speak? That feels a bit cumbersome, why not label the image directly ... So you see that on the non-technical level, the map's purpose/intended use remains largely unclear to me. --El Grafo (talk) 07:52, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support As above: Lovely light; the foliage is IMHO not a big problem because it does not hide any distinctive features of the bird, and it even has the advantage to make this shot look very natural – the picture does not look arranged, as is sometimes the case when the bird stands completely free. --Aristeas (talk) 20:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

- Weak oppose I actually don't mind some foliage in front, especially for what is definitely a valuable shot of a beautiful bird (although I would typically expect you to be the first to oppose for any foliage in front of the subject). The big issue isn't that there's foliage in front, but that one of the defining features of this group -- the very long tail -- is too obscured and pushes against the very bottom of the frame such that, at first glance, I thought it was part of the tree. — Rhododendrites talk | 14:08, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose It's a nice composition, but I agree with KoH that it's not quite an FP. Compare File:Bruderwald-Winter-PC030149.jpg, which also has the benefit of including two horses and riders walking away in the picture. Nothing is blown out and I find that it has a more satisfying composition, partly because it's framed by tall trees on both sides and the ground isn't a lot higher on one side than the other, relative to the scale. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:08, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Regretful oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 15:19, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. It’s really a nice mood and lighting, but the blown bright parts nail it for me. Maybe this can be redone from raw file at less contrast? Furthermore, I don’t like the focus being on the foreground, leaving most of the frame slightly out-of-focus. Either choose a real shallow DoF with a bokeh background, or take a sharp frame. --Kreuzschnabel 15:44, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment This is a out-of-camera JPEG file, right? Just as a hint: I would highly recommend to photograph such scenes always using the raw image format of your camera (in the case of a Canon camera, this means a CRW/CR2/CR3 file). In order to capture the extreme contrast and the deep/dark colours of such scenes, you need the full bit depth and information of the camera’s image sensor, you only get this with the raw image format. Of course shooting in raw requires also to learn how to develop the raw image files. That’s a big step, I know, and can take some time, but shooting and developing raw can really lift your photography to the next level. --Aristeas (talk) 07:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

- Yes, certainly :–). I have to confess that I have written ‘RAW’ sometimes because often people misunderstand ‘raw image format’ and think it just means the original out-of-camera JPEG file. :–( As this misunderstanding shows, quite some people are not aware of the fact that the original out-of-camera JPEG file is not an original, but was generated by their camera from the raw image data. Please let us work together to spread, in a friendly and sympathetic manner, more knowledge about the importance of the raw image format and the advantages it provides to photographers. --Aristeas (talk) 06:40, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- I blame camera manuals for perpetuating both the misunderstanding that 'raw' is an acronym that should be capitalised - rather than an adjective that should not - and the notion that shooting and developing raw images is hard to do! To Aristeas great point on spreading the gospel of raw, I offer my own path to enlightenment to those considering the plunge: some five years ago, I switched my cameras to record both a JPEG and a raw file for each picture. When developing the latter, I would frequently take a peek at the former, to check how my editing compared to the camera's. Once I was confident that I could consistently develop a better image that the camera could, I started shooting raw only. Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose per Ikan. The light on a sunny day make really hard conditions for shooting in woodland. The contrast between dark and light is too much for the camera or JPG. Here unfortunately the light doesn't extend along the path, only a short distance. Per the image Ikan references, it is interesting that most images of paths on Commons have no people in them, and yet the opposite is true outside of Commons. I can understand why, but it does make it harder to connect. -- Colin (talk) 17:52, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

- Oppose I think the colour one is significantly better. The BW processing here (making blue dark) causes the patch of pale blue sky to be a dark band that distractingly clashes with the chimney tops. The colour has really nice browns, rusts, ochre and pastel pale blue sky. I can understand using BW here if there were distracting colours or the facade was well lit, but the colours are great and the facade in shadow. -- Colin (talk) 18:06, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

- The issue is that images on Commons must have Educational Value and FP certainly so. So an image that is wrong doesn't pass no matter how pretty. I'm no chemist. You can get a similar image at NaCl – Rocksalt, Halite, Sodium chloride: Interactive 3D Structure. Click on "Coordination" and rotate the cube. You'll see similar octahedral coordination geometry. According to Wikipedia, both sodium and chloride ions have octahedral coordination geometry. I don't think it matters which set of atoms one draws the octahedron around, as it is just illustrative of them all. -- Colin (talk) 14:57, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Of course the images should have Educational Value but this is the first time I had to prove this in some way and has never heard about it. My believe was that this was a "self regulation" place just as wikipedia, if something is wrong someone will tell you.

- (ec) re "academic authentication" (read as en:wp:RS etc.).
- (1) As for the regular, alternating, cubic stacking: correct for NaCl, and is a statement that is unlikely to be challenged (see en:Wikipedia:Verifiability). IOW, it is commonly accepted to be true & correct for NaCl, and so does not need specific RS-sourcing.
- (2) as for the two "cubic-like" items: this is a visualisation, not physically present. It illustrates the surrounding (positioning) of a grey atom by six Na-atoms, on a en:triangular bipyramid (six corners = atoms); en:octahedron. It is described here: "It is obvious from the diagram that each chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium ions which are disposed towards the corners of a regular octahedron". BTW, the source supports the (1) cubic stacking claim.
- re "which atomes are what": The smaller, gray ones are Na en:sodium, the larger green ones are Cl en:chlorine. The difference in size is according to their physical atomic (ionic) size.
- However, I have advised the autohor to use more standard atom coloring. Generally, PyMol colors are encountered as conventional (elements colors en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Elements coloring scheme). So in here:
- Na
rgb(161,086,229) #A156E5 a purple; (now grey)see right values below 13:17, 24 August 2021 (UTC)- Cl
rgb(029,191,029) #1DBF1D a green; (now green)
- Cl
- The ball-shading-effect best be kept, to support the 3D effect.
- As for "educational value": IMO, the stacking, in combination with the colors, shows the crystal structure full stop. Then, the octahedrons very nicely add the crystal effect of a Cl atom being positioned beteen six Na atoms: nice illustration of this crystal property. (I might add, rare to see crystal properties illustratied & clarified this well).
- -DePiep (talk) 20:36, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Correct PyMOL colors, from source PyMOL:
- Na
#aa5cf2
([0-1] scale: 0.670588235, 0.360784314, 0.949019608), sodium Na - Cl

SupportI remember this kind of illustration from the geology lectures I attended ages ago. Many of them were either butt-ugly or difficult to wrap your head around. This one is neither, it manages to illustrate this aspect of the 3D structure of NaCl exceptionally well by clever use of shading and transparency. This is a textbook level illustration that is useful far beyond just NaCl, as several other salts have this same crystalline structure (de.wikipedia even has an article about that: Natriumchlorid-Struktur). BUT: even though it is not reqired by the license of File:NaCl polyhedra.png, it feels very wrong to me that User:Solid State was credited as the original author in the appropriate field of the file description page.

The sodium en:cation and the chloride en:anion appear here not to be in contact with one another: the lines of the grid look as if they are meant to represent en:chemical bonds. In reality, the structure is held together by en:electrostatic interactions (the positively charged sodium attracts the negatively charged chlorine). In standard chemical representations, this should be shown with the spheres representing the ions touching at their en:Van der Waals radius, specifically in this case the en:ionic radius (that's the article that explains the issue best). If you compare the illustration in the Chembox of the en:sodium chloride article, you'll see why I think the current image is misleading, if not wholly wrong since it does show the atomic centres correctly. Hence I don't think it should be a featured image. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 11:16, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Info It's very hard for me as a graphic worker when people say "this is wrong/this is correct" as I have zero knowledge of the subject. It would be great if you chemistry people discussed this and if it's possible to reach an agreement do so. If you in consensus think this image should look differently please just ping me and assist me to create an illustration that is correct. If there are different opinions I'm more than willing to create different versions. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:17, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- As I noted earlier, I'm no chemist, but I'm a bit sceptical about Michael D. Turnbull's comments. As mentioned above, the model is similar in many ways to that at Chemtube3d (especialy after clicking on "Coordination"). It is also similar to File:NaCl-Ionengitter.svg and others at Category:Crystal structure of sodium chloride. What we have here is a Ball-and-stick model whereas Michael appears to want a Space-filling model. It isn't for Commons to decide which model is best or should appear on Wikipedia, as long as the model here is valid and similar to those in reliable sources. I suggest if this remains unclear, that a request is made to Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals for more opinions. -- Colin (talk) 14:41, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- I am impressed by the User:Michael D. Turnbull reply (whose wiki contribitions I know to be thoroughly well seasoned, chemically speaking). Nice to note: their reply does not concern the crystallography, but the chemical bonding representation. Some honour is saved ;-) That is: size of balls, and the drawing of sticks between them (here in colors green-white) is the problem. So, given (=accepting from MDT) that the bonding is different, image File:Sodium-chloride-3D-ionic.png says something different.
- This scientific detailing must lead to the conclusion that the image is not correct enough for FP.
- Now how to turn this image into a correct one, per MDT? Obviously, remove the between-atomic-balls sticks (no such bonding). Also, change ball size (keeping anion/cation relative sizes) to make them touching & give stable ball stacking. However, then both illustrative en:octahedrons would become invisible? These are the main assests of currewnt image! A puzzle for the graphist to solve.

- DePiep To my understanding this illustration is a Ball-and-stick model representation and not a Space-filling model which you suggest it should be turned into. The Ball-and-stick model does not depict how something is actually looking rather a way to visualize what is happening in a more easy way to view it. The Space-filling model is on the other hand more of a representation of how it really looks. This is two completely different things and should not be mixed, line drawing vis-a-vis oil panting.
- If you are interested of a Space-filling model I would be more than will to work with you on it, just pung me. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 09:43, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- re: I was re-describing what Michael D. Turnbull wrote. For example, MDT: "the lines of the grid look as if they are meant to represent en:chemical bonds [but ...]". Also, the en:Ball-and-stick model you linked to says: "... to display both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them" (while, as MDT writes, there are no bonds
butthere are just electrostatic interactions) -DePiep (talk) 11:02, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Support Very interesting --Commonists 20:20, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, DePiep for backing up my comments. I think I can express the issue in another way that may help. There are two general bond types in chemistry, ionic and covalent. When we think of a compound "AB" we can write A+B- as a good way of expressing the ionic option. Or we could write A–B to show the covalent option. Some compounds have both type of bond (e.g. A–B–C+D-). What is the key difference in behaviour? Well, for one thing, ionic compounds completely lose their integrity on dissolving them in water or melting them. That means that if we recrystallise them or re-freeze them, the individual ions don't revert to the positions they previously held: they randomize. Whereas, when a covalent compound like acetic acid = CH3COOH dissolves in water the methyl group never becomes detached from the carbonyl group: when re-isolated they are still covalently bonded, although other molecules of the acid do freeze independently. And sodium acetate displays both behaviours: the methyl group stays attached to the carbonyl group BUT the sodium atom is promiscuous: it moves around in solution independently. Hence the "best" simple drawing is CH3COO–Na+. Incidentally, the atoms in covalently-bonded compounds frequently end up closer together than the sum of their ionic radii. They share molecular orbitals in a way that ionic compounds (of which sodium chloride is a classic example) can't. So the challenge for Goran tek-en in trying to create a really superior image is to use some cunning transparency in the lattice made up of filled atoms to add the polyhedron whose role is to illustrate the closest neighbours of a given single atom (a chloride in the current drawing on the right and a sodium on the left). I have no objections to using lines within these polyhedra, to represent their edges, not bonds. The result will some sort of combination of the polyhedra with a drawing like File:NaCl.png.

- Info Michael D. Turnbull, DePiep Thanks both of you for a lot of info although I not really get it all. To be able to go further and to be able to create an even better image I will start a thread on my talk page and I invite you both to help me in creating that image. I will have questions and sometimes you will have to explain in a more layman way for me, I will ping you and ask you to join. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:20, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
