•  Info I understand that the image resolution is lower than the guideline amount, but those are only guidelines and I think this is an astonishing image otherwise. Created by José Goulão - uploaded by Rezter - nominated by Rezter -- Rezter (talk) 03:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose While this picture is certainly nice and atmospheric, I do not think this compensates for the low resolution. -- JovanCormac (talk) 06:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Question Did you try to get a higher resolution from the author? The pic is really great but a higher resolution will be necessary I guess. --AngMoKio (talk) 08:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I haven't requested one no. I assumed that he deliberately chose to upload the image at that resolution because it was what he was comfortable releasing under a free license. Granted that is just me assuming and I could have requested, I still don't think the resolution should be that big of an issue. Rezter (talk) 08:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Well, I wouldn't assume this. He's got a lot of photos there and he probably doesn't want huge upload times. Also, releasing all of your photos at a high resolution is quite different from releasing only one. I think you would find him accommodating. A lot of Flickr members that mark their Flickr photos as "All rights reserved" are still happy to release an image or two, if you express an interest and explain what it could mean for him as a photographer. It requires some effort, I know, but in this instance I think it would be worth it. If he says no, oh well, no harm done, :-) Let me know if you don't do it though, and I will.

      •  Comment It is for sure worth asking. The reason for this specific size simply is, that the guy has no Flickr pro account. The image size that can be downloaded from a free flickr account is limited to "large" to reduce the load on the servers. If he would upgrade to a pro account, the original image size (probably much larger) would become available for download. But of course he has it on his hard drive, so why not asking ? It will probably not be a problem to mail you the original file. --Curnen (talk) 17:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I just browsed through the flickr-account of that guy. Wow...it is difficult to find a concert pic I wouldn't support. I think it is really worth asking him if he wants to share some of them with us commons-people :) --AngMoKio (talk) 18:38, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment per the picture description on Flickr, "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 Portugal License." That would make it ineligible for Commons. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 13:25, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Interesting, because he has issued it under share-alike 2.0 on Flickr and it has passed Flickr review. Maybe he is in the process of changing his licenses but as you probably know a license can't be revoked. Rezter (talk) 13:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I think he's using a license that doesn't have a perfect counterpart among the Flickr default choices, which is why he explicitly states the license in the picture description. Of course Flickreview wouldn't pick up on that because it only compares the Flickr settings. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
      • I'm pretty certain you can select non-commercial on Flickr. I don't think it's a matter of "picking whats available". See this for example. Rezter (talk) 13:45, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
        • I contacted the user and he has removed the NC-ND license. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 08:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
