Twilight on the sea - Vada Livorno
Maybe the smartphone created this aspect? -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:21, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is a winter sunset in which the colors appear stronger and more intense. I didn't use filters. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 05:37, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Mobile phones often have inner programs to create special renders adapted to various subjects -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:26, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's your thought, I accept it, and I can't do anything to change your mind. I snapped at that moment that seemed magical to the eyes and I shared it with you. Thanks anyway. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 09:38, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I have no doubt it should have been a magical scenery for the eyes. Please keep in mind that my review is only focused on the photograph itself -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Hi Anna You should know that it is very hard for photos taken with a smartphone to become FPs. The technical quality can't match that of most cameras that people use here on FPC, and they often have built-in programs that will do things to your photo that are not desirable at FPC. It is also very hard to get a sunset photo to become FP, it usually needs something more than just the colors. There is even a passage written about this in the rules under COM:FPC#Guidelines for nominators: "Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing, and most such pictures are not in essence different from others".
You have the rare opportunity to take non-tourist photos of the beautiful Tuscany, and you have already taken many good ones. Doing that and use your regular Canon camera, you are more likely to get FP photos. I also think it would improve your photos if you used some of the other settings than just the "Auto mode". Learn how to use the Av, P and M settings on the Canon, and what they can do to improve your photos. And be gentle when you edit the images, a good result is not always exactly what your eyes saw (like saturation and contrast), but rather what works and looks good in a photo. All the best, --Cart (talk) 11:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the note and I'm aware of it. I nominated and put it to the accounts thinking that maybe someone might like it. I will say two things that I think about fp: the first is that if I candid a photo and it doesn't pass, it's not a failure anyway because the criticisms serve to improve, the second is that it's worth proposing content that is different from the usual because perfect photos are often submitted but monotonous in content such as plants, flowers, animals, not in particular poses. With all due respect, of course, but introducing new content doesn't hurt. Especially because it can increase knowledge, the fundamental purpose of wikipedia and wikimedia.

I completely agree with you, we need more unusual photos here at FPC. I have been talking about that for years. But, pardon me, if you are so intent on wanting new and different things here, why do you nominate your photos of common motifs then? You nominate sunsets, landscapes, ruins, flowers, etc. and we have seen thousands of those. Be bold instead! Nominate something really new. :-) We would all love to see such photos. For my first FP, I had gone to a church and thought I could get some good photos of it, but it was a crate of roof tiles standing beside the church that became the FP (File:Roof tiles packed in crate 1.jpg). The camera I used was an older model of the Canon you have. I don't do nominations any more, but if I did, I would nominate the stupid-looking wooden pig I found. ;-) You need to go for the things that stand out. --Cart (talk) 20:49, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a sunset, but a winter twilight, in which the sky takes on all colors of blue and purple, and its duration is really a few minutes. Furthermore, in winter the colors are even more intense because the air with fewer particles of water vapor and with fewer atmospheric aerosols binds to swell and therefore generates more colorful and more beautiful sunsets and twilights.
In any case, I will propose other particular and non-obvious things later. Thanks for your assistance. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 04:55, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@W.carter I now have a photo of a beautiful sunflower with bees, but after supporting what has been said so far I dare not present! Hahaha!(⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 19:23, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Anna.Massini(⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 19:23, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
