Well, merci Colin tou est toujour correct!!.

Ice created by runoff water on a steep cliff in Lysekil
  • Runoff ice is often yellowish in color from the humus in the soil and it usually occurs on the north side of cliffs where there is no sun to evaporate the water. This kind of ice should not be confused with normal icicles. The only article about this phenomenon is in the Swedish WP, but since you are Norwegien as well as lector of biology, I don't think there will be any problem for you to understand it. I especially like that this piece of "svallis" looks like a frothing river waterfall (rivers can be yellow too) captured at 1/1000. :) --Cart (talk) 22:33, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Yes, Diego, that was an option I'd also considered. But then there would be ugly, incomplete trails created by cars following the tram. I had really wonderful conditions 20 minutes earlier (i.e. 2 trams before) but then - bam, suddenly, and out of nowhere - a racing cyclist sped down the lane, killing my composition... this was the most nerve-wracking motif I've tried to photograph in quite a while... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:20, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The second before Nikola Aljetic in red passed the ball to Nicolussi (image 1) who instantaneoulsy ran to the center leaving the two players in white behind. He did not lose control over the ball and could succesfully throw it, but goal keeper Thomas Hurich caught it with his left leg spawned out wide.

Big red tulips with small hoverfly
  • The little fellow just showed up in two of the photos and I kind of liked having it there. I have seven almost identical photos without it and at first I was leaning towards using one of those. Let's see what others say, maybe I'll try one without it as an alt. -- Cart (talk) 22:12, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose I love the fly, but as noted he's not in focus. And while it was good that you avoided posterization on the flower, it's still sort of awkwardly fitting in the image at best. Daniel Case (talk) 21:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Daniel, I think you used the wrong 'vote' sign. ;) I agree that the crop is a bit unusual. I was going for what Colin did in an earlier nom with a rose to try out something else than the normal full-front/whatever photo of a flower. An accepted style in most places, not so much on FPC it seems. Ah well, I'll survive. :) -- Cart (talk) 21:36, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@W.carter: Indeed I did ... perhaps it shows how ambivalent I was. Maybe that crop works better with a less strong color. Daniel Case (talk) 21:39, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps. The idea was not to just photograph a flower, but to immerse one's view in fabulous red petals. Back to the old (experimental) drawing board. -- Cart (talk) 21:46, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Ferrer you will find in this uncropped that the region haven't actually the same vigneting like this nomination. --The Photographer 21:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is not an uncropped version, this is a different photo with different exposure times, and not taken at the same time. And that kind of small difference (8/1 sec vs 15/1 sec; and 19:34:11 vs 19:44:24 during the blue hour (or near) is not a difference this is an ocean of differences, and the result is of course completely different photos.

Lenbachhaus, Munich: wing by Foster and Partners - worm's-eye view.

* Oppose In this I have to agree with the 'o's, unfortunately. It is almost there, but if you are going to go abstract, you have to go all in. Make the photo really mathematical and let the tip of the gold touch the border and make two true blue triangles. That would also make the blue/gold ratio in the photo more equal/pleasant. I don't know if this shot can be really saved by a crop since it will be very "panoramic" in shape. Will leave a note though. -- Cart (talk) 21:56, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Old man with a baby girl, Morena district
  • The crop is certainly better now. But concerning the darkness of the foreground, I don't think there's much to do, unfortunately. The heads lack details because the light was not there during the shot. We can't see easily the wrinkles, the eyes, the moustache, and all the interesting parts that make a good portrait. The whole picture is too contrasted, with a background normally enlightened and a subject totally in the shadow -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:01, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Woman's eyes
  • Unfortunately, I think the eyes may be just as fake as the skin: Same model with different eye colors here, here, here and possibly here (observe the position of dark spots on the iris). Don't get me wrong, changing the eye color is a totally normal thing to do in pixabay/500px/whatever type pictures and might even be OK for a FP if documented properly. But she appears to be wearing a contact lens that's smaller than her iris? Looks strange to me … --El Grafo (talk) 15:01, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the photographer is just playing around in Photoshop with the color of her eyes. I don't think she is wearing lenses, there is just some light-play/reflections on her irises. You can't wear lenses smaller than your iris, even for a second, it hurts like hell! --Cart (talk) 17:57, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info @Charlesjsharp: This is very close to the original, no photoshopping here. Put the flower on the desk with a dark purple background, and put the flash in a position so that it illuminates the bloom from the back – that's the trick.

It's quite bizarre to see this kind speech ^ in an open and collaborative community that has educational as its principals.
Charles I renamed the file as the Professor responsible for museum requested. It's a renomination, it's quite clearing that's a renomination, as we have access to history, but as I had to change the name of the file, put a /2 on it was wrong, and I didn't find documentation to how to proceed.

  • Apologies if my response sounded harsh. Without judging the actual quality of the image, I am going to formally  Oppose this nomination since 1) the image has previously (and fairly recently) failed to reach featured status, 2) there seems to have been no change to the image since then, 3) the nominator has not specified any reason for the renomination. Please accept my submission that without good reason, failed nominations should not be renominated. --Peulle (talk) 08:45, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment AFAICS, simply changing the name of a file is not sufficient grounds for a renomination, the image itself needs to be improved or changed in some significant way. That is not the case here, it is exactly the same image. I will not vote since I consider this nomination invalid. The community reached a decision about this image a year ago and that still stands. --Cart (talk) 09:13, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • While it is disappointing to fail through lack of support, vs clear oppose votes, the result is the same. Many people dislike opposing, and so when they fail to turn up and support, it still counts as a failure. For renoms, in addition to improving an image, or cases where a previous nomination got complicated or disrupted (such as too many alternatives proposed), I would support a renom in it was felt that there had been long enough duration (years) between noms that the community attitude towards a type of image may have changed. Doing it again merely to get another spin at the roulette wheel is not fair IMO. -- Colin (talk) 11:58, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I reopen the vote, as a volunteer created an unhealthy environment in previously discussion, and by one vote didn't pass by false allegations, not because the lack of quality.
And them, well we have a new unwelcoming environment to discuss about this image again.
This kind of environment move away votes, contributions, more than low quality, a lot volunteers deviate harsh speech, but I think that you know that.
Again your are prioritising your political views than the evaluation of image...
.
Just one point, this seems to be a wiki community, and the one of the beauty of wiki is the possibility to change - as we have the possibility to remove a FP badge, rediscuss one image is not harmful, harmful is this what you are creating.

RTA, the only volunteer who "created an unhealthy environment in previously discussion" was you. I don't know which "false allegations" you refer to, but sounds a bit like saying lies, which isn't very friendly. One supporter's only contributions to FPC in 2017 were to support your nominations. Another hadn't contributed to FPC for four months and would not vote again for another eight months. Both Brazilian.

  • OK, that's a point. It seems that I'm too urban to see this. Charles, did you notice that you've put 'support' in your oppose? --Basotxerri (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • For now this vote is more a green support than a strong oppose but to answer your comment, Charles, these domestic buffaloes are not enclosed and then free to graze and move where they want. I think such practices are more respectful than to park them in a small enclosure like in other areas in the world. But these are not wild animals, contrary to what it seems ! And concerning the rope in their noses, Wikipedia says "Bulls, especially, are powerful and sometimes unpredictable animals which, if uncontrolled, can kill or severely injure a human handler". Also I don't encourage any practice just taking this picture, I was passing by this river bank, and met these animals starring at me like big sharks, that made me shoot -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes an innocently-taken image can reveal animal cruelty. Could I suggest you have a look at these online comments on what's behind this photo: one; two
  • Charles, are you ok? You vote with the wrong symbol, you confuse wiki-link code with external link code and you don't sign your comment. I have fixed the links for you though. Hope you are taking care of yourself, --Cart (talk) 19:55, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good to hear, you had me worried there for a while. The Wiki-project needs good photos of everything. Remaining neutral when judging good photos or good text in articles can sometimes be very hard when the content goes against our own feelings on the subject. Good photos are supposed to extract emotions from us and make us think. --Cart (talk) 22:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are right, but this well-composed image was taken in good faith just to be an interesting shot, which it is. A close-up of the ropes piercing the animals' heads would be very acceptable if the caption described what was being depicted. To give another example, it would not be acceptable (in my view) to nominate a pretty picture of very young children sewing colourful carpets without mentioning the abusive practice of child labour. Charles (talk) 07:22, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well then, the solution would be to add neutral information about this part of the photo, since it is possible to extract closeups from this photo (one of the reasons why FPs are in hi-res). Let's see if I can fix that so that all parties will be satisfied. My edit can of course be removed or tweaked. --Cart (talk) 09:23, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Totally agree to mention this nose rope in the description. I also added a link to the Bubalus bubalis, which is the main subject. However, I don't think this picture is the right place to debate about the nose ring, the Wikipedia article is much more appropriate to the discussion (in favor or against), and a link to the page might be enough, I think. Then I changed the description accordingly to the vision I have about this image. Thanks for the contributions -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's ok, but in the new edit you instead inserted a personal comment and veiwpoint ("At this bank, starring at the camera like three sharks, or like three attentive observers, they're rather funny to look at, as if they were expecting something from their group photograph.") That should be removed since it doesn't belong in a neutral image description, please do so. Let the viewer form their own oppinion about the photo. Like if this photo was to be used in an article about nose ropes, that's not the sort of comment you'd want accompanying the picture. --Cart (talk) 12:47, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I took the liberty to write it's funny because I'm not the only one to find so, reading the others. And concerning your idea about nose ropes, reading the Wikipedia page, there is not (yet) people against -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:07, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just because there are at least two people finding something funny, does not mean it is so for everyone. I for one don't find this funny at all. But it's a good picture. Image descriptions should be neutral, that's how encyclopedic material works. If you don't like to have other people's values in an image text, you should not impose your values either. --Cart (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2018 (UTC)~[reply]

A shell of Caecum vitreum from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain;
Actually I've that lens (and in that cat there are a few QIs of mine) but so far I just used it outdoors, which is really hard. I'll try to take some studio images of tiny objects with my 5DS R, I didn't try that yet. Poco2 18:04, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info For the shell photos I normally use a 60mm Tamron Macro objective, which is comparable to the Canon lens mentioned above. This objective is useful for objects (e.g. shells) down to 6 mm (of course I made this photo with the 60mm Macro). All objects, which are smaller can't be photographed picture-filling any more, for you can't go closer to the object. This means, the smaller the object, the smaller is the object on the photo and the more empty space you have (and the more quality loss you have). Therefore I use for objects smaller than 6 mm not a normal camera with macro lens but an UCMOS 14000KPA camera (4096 x 3288 px) in combination with a microscope or a binocular mircoscope respectively, which allows picture filling photos of objects from 6 mm down to 10 μm (!), an object size, which is impossible to photograph with a normal macro lens. All my photos of shells, of which the size is below 7 mm, are made with the UCMOS 14000KPA. --Llez (talk) 14:56, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • True, but shall we create the new category "condom-shaped objects", considering this will be the only file in this sub-cat, and will probably remain as it for quite a while ? This is not a condom, but this is not a "condom in art" neither, nor any other existing category-related file. If created, "Condoms in nature" would sound strange . Also, "Condoms" seems very general here, and all the pictures of condoms are more in this sub-Category:Condoms_by_sex (male and female), that's why I think "Condoms" is a good choice for now. But any better suggestion ? welcome -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:00, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think we need to have categories for everything that looks like something else. Basic shapes are enough. We also don't need to put every object that might look like something into a category for that, otherwise you would have to put every elongated object, obelisk or structure into Category:Penis-shaped objects. --Cart (talk) 10:06, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I totally disagree. What makes this picture special, in my opinion, is that it looks like a condom, more than a shell ! Kind of prehistoric condom at first sight :-) The resemblance is amazing, and the illusion is so strong that the author mentionned it straight at the top of their nomination :"No, it is NOT what you think it is on the first sight ! ". Exactly the same impression I had when I discovered this shape of a shell : it clearly looks like a male contraceptive. Not only an elongated shape that would make it approximately similar, but also something hollow on the base with a roll aspect, and the most caracteristic detail, a kind of reservoir on the top ! That's just awesome for a coincidence. This definitely creates a good pareidolia, that means a "psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus being perceived as significant". Sorry but I can't look at this shell without thinking to a condom (not my fault it's a sexual-related subject), as I can't look at this rock without thinking to an elephant. Same degree of proximity, and that's perfectly normal to read "elephant" in the description of this file. Would be ridiculous to remove the appropriate category and say "Well, it's just a saltwork formation in a desert in reality, not an elephant" ! In Thailand, there is a famous site in Koh Samui with two rocks displaying a phallus and a vulva. This site attracts a lot of visitors every day and Wikimedia has a Category:Hin_Ta_Hin_Yai which is of course included in the categories Phallic symbols and Vulva symbols. That's the logics. Concerning the Category:Penis-shaped_objects, it's perfectly legitimate to find inside these knockers, but what would be worth the picture without mentionning this particular aspect of the metallic object ? Insignificant. I've uploaded a stain on Commons a few years ago File:Pareidolia_stain_on_wall_as_map_of_France.jpg and this work would lose absolutely all its content if the illusion of the map of France was not mention anywhere on the file. We would just see this spot like another ordinary stain, and above all quite a bad photo ! I'm not saying Llez's shell is bad (the only reason I don't support the nomination is because I find the quality a bit too low, however the picture is really great, and fortunately we also have great pictures on Commons which are not necessarily featured). Just what makes this photo awesome, in my opinion, apart from the fact it is a very small object, it is that it looks like a condom, and this is exceptional, yes. The Category:Penis-shaped_objects would fit approximately, and Condoms too, but this last one is more precize in my opinion. Most of the examples of pareidolias on Google are heads and faces with eyes and mouth. When they're not fakes, such objects resembling to other objects are really very rare. Here we're confused by the reality and need to look at twice ! This file is then an excellent example of this kind of illusion, and should thus be promoted as such without ambiguity. It doesn't spoil the shell characteristics, it just brings an extra value, which may attracts more views to this tiny specimen among its huge collection. This shell definitely generates a pareidolia, and as part of this phenomenon, which object does it evoke ? A condom. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

      • It goes to wow. I'm not wowed if the model looks unhappy or bored. The relationship between the artist and the model as depicted in the portrait is absolutely central to portraiture, in the opinion of many great artists - or to put it another way, a great portrait shows something interesting about the subject's personality. Being merely uncomfortable, bored, or generically unhappy-looking is not compelling. I will think about this more and reconsider tomorrow or the next day, but I sure am tempted to oppose. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:18, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ikan Kekek: Sorry, but for the 13 years the FP contest is going on, and I have been on Commons, I have never seen such a justification for opposing. I don't understand why, for portraits, some people look for justification outside of the criteria used in other cases. You are not the only one, the last I remember was "Seating on the railway track is dangerous"... Hopefully, "looking happy" is not a valid criteria for a FP: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., etc. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:47, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yann, what finite set of "criteria" do you think reviewers apply? The only criteria that matters is that the image is among "the finest on Commons", in the opinion of a good majority of reviewers. -- Colin (talk) 10:27, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree with Ikan that the woman looks a bit vacant -- asking for someone to put a thought-bubble on the image. The colour is a bit yellow orange (see the whites of her eyes). The world is full of images of attractive women, lit and photographed with professional-level equipment. I'm looking for more than just technical competence for an FP on an educational media repository. Are we seeing a great character or expression? Does the person's culture or personality show? Notability helps, but not required. Is the setup (lighting, hair, makeup, technique) demonstrating a particular kind of portrait photography particularly well? And so on. -- Colin (talk) 10:27, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Colin: Your comment about the color is valid. I have tried to fix that. Any help would be welcome on this point. Other criteria are irrelevant. We have plenty of nominations here, where the educative value is nearly non-existent, and people only vote on the picture quality. Why a different system here? (And to me, people's faces are much more interesting than bugs, random places, etc.) And yes, the world may be full of images of attractive women, but very few of them are under a free license. Compared to other subjects, we have very few good portraits. So yes, I argue that this is one the finest portraits we have on Commons. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:09, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't find your statement "Other criteria are irrelevant." to be at all helpful to this discussion. If you wish to have a personally restricted criteria for judging portraits, that's your choice. Dismissing the views of other reviewers as irrelevant is rather hostile. We will each look at this image and weigh its qualities and bring with us our own likes, dislikes, experience, etc. Some people might like expression on her face; others consider it suboptimal. You can disagree of course, and try to change people's minds, but telling me my opinions are irrelevant is a quick way to make me change it to a strong oppose and unwatch. -- Colin (talk) 12:59, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course we are discussing quality. Will you please stop using the word "irrelevant" because if you use it again I really will change my vote and unwatch. There are lots of different kinds of portraiture. Some want blank expressions (fashion photography, say). Some might want "melancholy", as Basile sees here. And perhaps there are styles of portraiture where this blank look here is exactly what is desired. Do you think the only "quality" of a portrait is the lighting and a sharp lens? Our "criteria" don't mention bokeh, yet that is often an essential part of a portrait. Is that to be dismissed as "irrelevant"? Do we have rules about how to judge bokeh? Well, I don't need or want rules to judge the pose and expression on a model in a photo. There are whole books on the topic of posing subjects for portraiture. I'm fine if others think those aspects of the photo are good enough to support. I also find the round catchlight in her eyes is just a bit too large, central and dominant. Or do I need a catchlight criteria to mention that? -- Colin (talk) 13:55, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Colin: You are mixing up objective criteria, which are absolutely on the point, and subjective criteria, which are debatable (to put it mildly). If we don't have a mention of bokeh, that's an oversight, and should be corrected. It is a quality criteria essential for portraits (and other cases). Regards, Yann (talk) 14:02, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Melancholy and attractive woman -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:15, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not wowed. I can also say that I read the above discussion and now I'm thinking that's several minutes of my life I'll never get back. I can never understand why some people just won't leave well enough alone but have to start arguing their point of view whenever a reviewer here disagrees with them. The Guidelines (which also uses quotations marks around the words "wow factor", btw.) clearly state that there is no objective criterium for this: "An image "speaks" to different people differently", so when somebody says that they just don't get that "wow" feeling when looking at an image, don't argue, just suck it up and hope that enough other people do. If they do, there's a chance. If they don't, well, then the image doesn't appear to have a strong enough appeal. It doesn't prevent you from liking it, it's just the way the system here works. Live with it.--Peulle (talk) 14:38, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose For whatever reason, her face looks unreal, which coupled with the expression (or lack thereof) makes me think the next image in the sequence is going to be her with her faceplate off, showing the underlying machinery and circuitry. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - Well, I must say, your argument that my viewpoint on portraiture was "irrelevant" certainly persuaded me to change my opinion. NOT! Oppose per my remarks above and per others. Next time, try respecting my argument and engaging with it, if you'd like me to consider changing my mind. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:46, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose While this is an old school glamour portrait, my main objection is the orientation of it. Had it been in portrait format and included all of her hair, that would have created a beautiful line against the dark dress and matched the lines in the background as well as the rectangular shape of her face. That would certainly have been grounds for wow. (Approximation) --Cart (talk) 10:48, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pipe couplings on a pressure tank under construction
  • I just cannot see anything special; no 'wow' at all. An image like this with no encyclopaedic value, but submitted as an 'artistic' image has to be pretty special to fulfil the FP criteria highly skilled photographers/highest quality. I can't see a demonstration of technical skill (composition/sharpness etc) and I personally don't find the dalek comparison convincing - they look nothing like your shot. Of course humour (and do feel free to oppose my next FP nomination with its light-hearted commentary) is never going to cross all cultures/borders. Many members of our community are happy to vote for your inventive shots, but not this time. Sorry. Charles (talk) 11:42, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your thorough explanation. Yes, I experiment a lot, testing the boundaries and I take all votes given to such photos in good humor. Of course I don't expect a nom like this to just sail through without opposition, but that's not a reason for not trying/testing. ;) As for "and do feel free to oppose my next FP", you know me better than that, I never "revenge vote" or anything like that. I always vote on just the photo. --Cart (talk) 12:08, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for that addition. The main purpose of the photo was to show off the two pipe couplings that stuck out in a funny way from the construction. The ambiguous interpretation that they looked like two eyes came second as a bonus. I was banking on that seeing some sort of face (dalek/soldier/fiddler crab/whatever) in the photo was universal. --Cart (talk) 09:25, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I disagree the sharpness is an issue. The technical quality seems fine for a 400mm telephoto. At 6MP it looks completely sharp and would print A4 just fine. Charles, what specifically is wrong with the colour? Do you think the white balance is wrong? Surely the colour will change somewhat depending on ambient light. -- Colin (talk) 09:02, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you take away the ambient soft yellow light and make the WB totally neutral (I did that in PS), you can see that there is something orange reflected in the jaguar's eyes. Orange is a preferred color to wear among some game keepers (and hunters) since many animals are color blind and they perceive it as grey while we humans can see each other even in dense foliage. This might be something like that reflecting. --Cart (talk) 15:02, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow insects on yellow flower
  • When they're busy at work, these small animals are not so fearful. Then one can approach them quite close. I was manually shooting this yellow butterfly when a wasp arrived on my flower. Immediately I tried to focus on it, and among three shots, one got sharp (and that was enough). The butterfly is a montage from three shots. Once I had those both, I could take all my time to focus on the front of the flower (three more useful shots), even if the insects moved, the most difficult was won. Thanks ! -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
