Oppose Poorly made HDR  Richard  [®]  20:21, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Nothing featurable there. The so-called HDR does not automagically enhance an ordinary picture. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 23:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I like photos of people and it is a shame when I cannot support them. In this case something is wrong with the lighting as most of the face is in the shadow. Also, I would prefer a slight different angle showing better the expression in the eyes. Let us wait for more opinions. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:45, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - sorry, but I find that label stuck to his specs too distracting - MPF (talk) 00:00, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, he bought new glasses, but forgot to remove the label. I think that this adds a bit of fun to this rather dramatic image. This is real world, not a staged model. Yann (talk) 02:50, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is such an interesting image, but I can't support for the reasons Alvesgaspar gave. I wonder if a better version of this shot could be nominated, and if there is some background as to why the label on the eyeglasses. Jonathunder (talk) 02:35, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support--Avala (talk) 20:46, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Strong chromatic aberration in the top left corner, overall oily appearance, probably because of an aggressive denoising/smoothing. FPX might have been harsh, yet not totally unwarranted. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 02:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Great view, and I think that it has potential. However, in addition to what Maurilbert said, I feel that there is too much darkness in the foreground, which creates almost too strong of a contrast, especially with a bright background such as this one; the dark trees, especially the one pretuding from the top left, almost "invade" the background view, which is one of the greatest aspects of this image IMO. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 03:43, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, the image is severely overexposed -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I actually think it captures the harsh, enervating oppressive heat and brightness of the place very well - you can just imagine yourself standing there with the sun beating down, your eyes screwed up against the intense light, and a splitting headache from dehydration. That's exactly the way the Mediterranean coast is in high summer. To show it with less exposure would be telling a lie. - MPF (talk) 09:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Even if you like the exposure levels, it's not sharp enough for Featured status. Steven Walling 18:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fair; I mainly supported because I thought FPX was too harsh, and breaking FPX needs a support - MPF (talk) 19:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote "perspective is not corrected". The walls are leaning inside, this is an effect of tilting the camera upwards. This is correct but not "beautiful" and should be corrected. Formerly this was done with special lenses, today you can use software to do this.

Oppose Definitely deserves the QI it already has, but there are plenty of freely-licensed photos just like this one available, and the unsharpness over the top left and the slightly dull lighting don't add up to Featured quality in my opinion.

Support Very nice, like painting. Strong support -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 08:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support . . . nice pic, but needs more info: I'll add the extra brackets for support with this extra info: (1) location, (2) date, (3) a bit more clarification of what "manually done panorama" means. If available, some info on why the people were taking their dogs out on surfboards would also be of interest (and may greatly enhance the educational value) - are they working dogs, e.g. being used to sniff out shellfish for harvest, or just dogs out playing with their owners? - MPF (talk) 12:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The date and location is added."Manually done panorama" means that I was not able to stitch a few image using a program, and done it manually instead. I know nothing about the people on surfboards,except that the owner of the restaurant I took the picture from, told me, it was the very first time they paddled so close to the shore in this place. The tide,and the ocean conditions were just right for them to paddle there, and then they got behind the reefs, and were gone, except one of them caught a small wave, when he passed the reefs. They were two boys and one girl. --Mbz1 (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

However, I'm only neutral because there are some quite strong chromatic aberrations, and the subject does not wow me - I find the foreground shed and building materials a bit disturbing. --99of9 (talk) 23:34, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - ditto to Maurilbert on the clutter; the tram wires in particular spoil the view of the buildings - MPF (talk) 23:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - it's obviously a very cluttered picture because it's a cluttered scene, but the photographer has taken advantage of this. At first glance, it confuses and perplexes and it seems as if the tram were heading up into the sky - the perspective on the tram lines cuts in front of the oddly warped buildings intersecting with their own ornamentation of sagging arcs, the tram's power connection is aligned with the balcony, the sign for the stop is aligned with the edge of the building. I think this shot highlights the oddity of the building itself. Wnt (talk) 21:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - something a mite disturbing in the shadow angles; the angle of the shadow of the hill at the top left doesn't appear to match the angle of the crepuscular ray lines at the lower left. It's as if the sun's rays are travelling in a dog-leg. - MPF (talk) 19:39, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think they need to be parallel in the picture given the geometry. bamse (talk) 22:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They all need to converge radially on a single point (the position of the sun) - MPF (talk) 22:25, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but can I take the rays in a 2D projection (the image, any image), extend them and will I end up at the sun in the same image (assuming it was included)? Actually on second look, I noticed that I might have mistaken a hole in the clouds for the shadow of the mountain. Possibly the uneven surface of the clouds on which the shadow falls could give the wrong impression you were talking about?! bamse (talk) 06:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a photo montage, it is a normal panorama photographed at the same time, the same date and the same place. All the images included in the other image you refer to were taken at the same place also. I am not sure how you could have thought I combined the images taken in a different places! This image is also a panorama photographed on the very same day,at the very same place, and at the very same time as the images used for the nominated image. And if you don't get it, it might be better to ask first than to make insinuations. --Mbz1 (talk) 03:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I'm sorry about insinuation that they are totally different pics, but this just doesn't look realistic to me. The perspective doesn't fit. It's like you took the images at the same time and place, but from the different points. I see two different pictures here. And again, sorry about that insinuation, but I don't think this panorama is merged correctly. --Lošmi (talk) 04:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I used tripod to take the images. They all were taken from the very same place. The only thing that was moving from shot to shot was the tripod's head. --Mbz1 (talk) 05:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And to end all the suspicions I now uploaded one of the original (not post processed at all images

. I do not remember, if this particular one was used to create the panorama (I took few sets, and I do not remember which ones I've used for the panorama), but it gives you an idea how it looked in the real life.

Question - why "Own collection, therefore not geocoded"? Can't you look up the coordinates of where you collected it? Also, can I assume it was collected legally? (knowing some species are protected in some areas). - MPF (talk) 17:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It was bought from a professional seller more than 30 years ago. The exact localitiy of collection was not mentioned. "Own collection" means "a shell of my collection", not necessarily "collected by myself". --Llez (talk) 18:59, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Useful, but the colours of the shell itself seem too dull (sun-bleached?) to make an impact on me. --99of9 (talk) 08:08, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't think so. The shell is white to creamy-white (upper side), the base (callus and mouth) is brownish. Perhaps you refer to the "periostracum", an organic layer on the shell, which is brown. But this periostracum you mostly see only in living or fresh caught animals, is normally not preserved as it is lapsed. So the colour of the shell (and not the periostracum) is correct IMO. --Llez (talk) 08:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Could be, but why should it be? That just removes editing options for the vast majority of people who don't have svg-editing capability - MPF (talk) 13:45, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is a very good free svg editor called Inkscape, so editing is not exactly restricted. Nevertheless, my reason for nominating this is simply that I did not see any svg anatomy images that looked this good. If anyone makes a fantastic svg image, I'll support that too! --99of9 (talk) 00:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But it doesn't come packaged in with computers that people buy; how many people go through the difficulty of finding it and taking the risk of installing it? Very few, I bet. I tried once, and got a warning that installing it might harm my computer, so I didn't. - MPF (talk) 08:56, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I invite you to draw in SVG, if you need help. I could convert this to SVG like other works --The Photographer (talk) 01:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you do convert it and it looks better, I'll be happy to vote to replace this if it becomes a FP. At this stage however, the somewhat comparable SVG File:Respiratory_system_complete_en.svg (which is already a FP) is not as nice looking in my opinion (although it is a very fine diagram, and is somewhat more comprehensive, so I'm not voting to delist). --99of9 (talk) 01:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just realised that you might be under the impression that I drew/painted this. I'm afraid my abilities are no where near this level. I've drawn some figures in svg Category:Diagrams by User:99of9, but they're nowhere near this league. --99of9 (talk) 03:26, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hope I can do it in SVG. You've convinced me I see it as easy to make but I can not wait for all the world to see so. Nice work, but bad format. --The Photographer (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Obviously someone's done a lot of work to make something like this, and I don't mean to be dismissive of that, but for me it's not up to FP yet. In particular I find the colours applied to imitate lighting to be too inconsistent. Are the lights from the left or right, top or bottom?

Oppose - overdone perspective correction in tower, with parallel sides make it 'look' wider at the top than lower down (because the brain expects it to show smaller angular diameter higher up), and disturbing green glow under bridge - MPF (talk) 15:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually very little perspective correction was done on this particular image (here's the unprocessed original from RAW), I rather guess the one expecting a smaller angular diameter is you as this building's top is quite unusual. As for the light, this can't be avoided in situations where lighting from sources with a highly dissimilar colour temperature mix (here: blue hour natural and artifical) --Mylius (talk) 20:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ich weiß, dass das hier kein Schnappschuss ist, aber die Komposition lässt es auf mich so wirken. Das wollte ich damit ausdrücken.

Vonwegen Schnappschuss und Komposition, ich war 3x auf diesem Berg und habe stundenlang gewartet um das richtige Licht zu bekommen. Damit der Stausee nicht so langweilig wie die meisten aussieht, habe ich bewusst die Staumauer mit einbezogen. Das gibt dem Bild eine zusätzliche Tiefe und dies wiederum lässt sich nur von diesem Standort ablichten. Solltest du mal einen 2500er schaffen, kannst du ja gerne einen besseren Standort für die gewünschte Komposition suchen, du wirst auch mit Seil und Bickel keinen finden. mfg. --Böhringer (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Einem Bild immer sofort anzusehen, welche Arbeit dahinter steckt, ist nicht leicht. Ich kenne mich in der Gegend nicht aus, und vom Klettern halte ich nicht viel. Du kannst es garantiert gut einschätzen, ob man einen besseren Standpunkt für den ganzen See hätte finden können. Jedoch bleibt mir nur das zu bewerten, was ich sehe, und da nur das halbe Hauptmotiv zu sehen ist, gefällt mir nicht (wohl Geschmackssache, dem einen gefällt es mehr, dem anderen weniger). Ich möchte auch noch mal sagen, dass die Qualität wirklich in Ordnung und die Farben/Lichtverhältnisse sehr schön ausgenutzt/aufgenommen wurden. Das alleine macht für mich aber die Verdeckung nicht wet und reicht imo alleine auch nicht, um ein Bild Exzellent zu nennen. Grüße --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 11:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Dynamic portrait of a favorite artist of mine, but the blurring around the hand is unfortunate. Steven Walling 03:03, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yeah, that's what I was worried about. If this fails FPC, I might try to hit up Rehes who has a Flickr with more images of Monáe from the same event, some of which probably feature less blurry hands. Maybe. Anyway, this is the only CC one he has, but I could bug him about it. Anyway, I'll let this one go through FPC first. Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 03:29, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Info Badly made composite panorama with crepuscular rays from two sources in different directions (see marked copy, right). This does not match nature, where only a single light source (the sun) exists, with all crepuscular rays converging on a single point. While this panorama may be otherwise of good quality, I do not consider that it merits Featured status given this seriously misleading appearance, which is not explained at all in the image caption.

- I'm not even sure if I like the starry cutout on the top, but I definitely don't like the pixellation-like cutout on the bottom left. It seems that if you're going to be artsy and go out of your way to make something non-rectangular, it's worth making sure it's very aesthetically appealing. But this should be easy to fix, right?? --99of9 (talk) 06:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've never seen a fossil plate with such an outline. Why cut off in this way, why not the natural outline? --Llez (talk) 07:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is that this image is a panorama. For me it was the only way to take such high resolution image of the rather long shrimp, but of course it was a crazy idea to take panorama using close-up settings. If you look at the edges, you will see they do not look good at all Isome part in focus, some parts out of focus). Of course, I could have fixed them manually, but it is very time consuming job. So I decided that the shrimp - the most important part of the rock is to be shown good, and cut my panorama as I did. I agree it looks strange. I did left a natural edges in the front and in the back parts of the rock. --Mbz1 (talk) 13:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment upper left part is perfect and sharp, lower bottom is sharpless. Did You use same settings ? --Mile (talk) 15:32, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The images for the panorama were taken with point-and-shoot camera, with the same settings. The rock itself is sharper in some places than it is in others. I uploaded a new version over an old one. I hope it is better now. BTW thanks for the comments, everybody. I am glad you found the image interesting.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support The outline may look strange but it emphasizes the fossile remainings of the shrimps. This remembers me to some panoramas constructed from shots of distant planets or moons (example) and it helps to focus on a particular feature. Just compare it with the first low-resolution upload to see the difference. Overall, I found it stunning and would just want to know where it was photographed or in which collection it is to be found. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:19, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While this shot may look good, it is quite misleading in regard to the bridge. For me File:20100413 Meswnikh Gefyra Kompsatos Thrace Greece 2.jpg is far superior.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: blown-out areas, blurry, very poor quality. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:27, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose While it is a decent picture, it fails to pass off as a good picture of the subject and subject matter that are: a race car and a car race. The subject is too confined within its context, a rally with no room to move into, we don´t know in which direction the car will continue into. The car itself is too clean, giving an indication that it is the early part of the race and thus depriving it of a rugged feeling, typical of these types of races. The shutter speed is a tad fast, freezing all movement, including the tires, as we can see the tire pattern clearly, as if the car was not in motion, therefore, there is no feeling of motion, speed, which is what car races are all about. The copilot cannot be seen and the pilot is very difficult to see. If I were an editor of a racing magazine, would I use this picture? Probably not. For me that would be the standard for FP.--Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:18, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Pretty unique I guess. But two questions: Is this the original resolution of the CT or are the images scaled down? And is there a specific reason why the images don't use the full contrast range (the lightest "color" is some sort of grey, not white)? --Kabelleger (talk) 16:04, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The detector / x-ray camera delivers images with up to 3000x3000 pixel. Anyway, in these x-rays a physical factor 2 pixel binning was used, resulting in 1500 x 1500 pixel images. Image resolution is 77 microns/pixel! Image contrast was set to this level to make sure no details disappear. That´s how it is in x-rays... If you raise contrast, some of the light elemental materials might disappear. --SecretDisc (talk) 13:00, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for your remark, but I don't see the distortion you mention. If you look at full res, the vertical lines are nicely vertical. Only the spire of the second tower from the right is slightly lopsided (in reality!). Otherwise, the 'distortions' are merely an optical effect, I guess. -- MJJR (talk) 16:17, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Takabeg (talk) 06:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Overdone perspective correction. Buildings in photo have parallel edges, but the eye expects them to show perspective (the more distant tops to appear converging), so the result is an optical illusion making the buildings in the photo look wider at the top. - MPF (talk) 13:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like the composition too, but imho dof is too short and there are several dustspots in the sky. --Berthold Werner (talk) 17:46, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You were right about the dust spots. I have removed most of them. As far the DOF goes, the metadata has f/10 which I dont believe is too shallow. The reason why the background appears out-of-focus is because of the rising sand due the strong wind conditions. --JovianEye (talk) 19:37, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Better now. Some dustspots remained at the left border. The rising sand should be mentioned in the description. I hope the lens survived the sand. --Berthold Werner (talk) 08:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support While the image does have a short DOF, in my opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing in this case. I like it, as it focuses on one specific item out of many identical ones. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 19:13, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The focus seems fine to me, and the composition is quite nice (especially with the birds). However, I have several concerns, among them the fact that I'm not sure what I'm looking at, and the file description is vague. These are obviously boats of some kind, but why so many lined up along the shore? Also, I'm not very fond of the lighting situation; the closest boat, which is presumably the main subject, is darkened by its own shadow to the point where much of the detail is invisible. Finally, the image is either tilted or distorted, as the sea shouldn't tilt downwards. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:40, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Lošmi (talk) 00:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Juliancolton. Jonathunder (talk) 22:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Comment The composition is good. Combination of horizon and vanishing point is well balanced. The point Juliancolton made about the focus of the view is reasonable: if cropping this via rules of thirds (cropping out from left to right until approx. where the vanishing point is) solves this issue. Using ISO 320 here is disputable though. In a daylight situation, even if photographed out of hand this should be avoided. Note the CA on the bird - removing this in post processing should as well be reconsidered. The sea tilting downwards could easily be corrected (a rotation of 1.2° would be sufficient). Applying these changes for another version of the image using the OOC image (RAW if available) would be great.--Peter Weis (talk) 00:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think I will support my own picture, although when I took it, I just saw the scene, took the picture and did not process it as far as I can remember (except correcting the time in the exif). The boats are probably for fishing as this is in Kerala in a small village. The picture indeed has a rotation of approximately 1 degree, possibly 1.2 as Peter Weis indicates. I don't remember any rising sand just where I was, and the lens has been used for a five digit number of pictures since. (I do not have a raw version of this unfortunately.)

Oppose sorry, it is definitely a nice picture, but your other one is much better imo! Indeed this one shows the whole monkey but I don't like the composition that much. The dark area in the upper right side is a little bit disturbing. I never would call it so, but the pic has a little snapshot character. bg mathias K 16:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This image has another purpose IMO. Unlike that image, this one shows the whole body view including the tail. The dark background is expected since there is a forest behind the monkey. I appreciate your kind tone in airing your opinion. --Muhammad (talk) 16:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: although the composition is very good indeed, the technical quality (focus and sharpness) is unfortunately far from our standards for pictures of bugs and other hideous creatures.

Oppose - I love beach pictures, especially ones with enough detail to see what people are doing. However this one was not done very well in my opinion. The composition leaves much to be desired: several people are cut in half, and what I find most irritating about this image is that almost everyone has their back toward the camera. It would be so much more satisfying to see some faces. Also, one area, which I specified using an imagenote, is quite washed out. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question Beautiful colors! But there are the strange movement and the anatomic aberrations of the girl at right that annoy me. Why the girl at left is partialy out of the image frame? Where is the eighth arm of the octopus? =D --Citron (talk) 22:38, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please describe what does not look right with the anatomy of the girl to the right? The left girl is intentionally outside the image, giving the feeling she is pressed against an invisible wall, with no escape from what is comming. Why seven? My little secret, since this is fictional and not an anatomic study of an octopus. ;-) --Niabot (talk) 06:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm my english is approximate. The anatomy of the girl to the right isn't correct especially it looks like she has not bust, the breasts are placed on the pelvis. Her position is impossible : trying to do the same, you can't have your right head when you lose balance! Especially on the tip of one foot. For the left girl, the idea is not bad, but why leave a big gap in front she? The space is poorly managed... For the octopus, you're excused! :) --Citron (talk) 20:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not educational. Steven Walling 01:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Niabot asked me explain further. To educate is to train or instruct someone on a subject. This image has no edifying purpose or quality. It's a cartoon. There are major composition problems as well, like Citron points out above. Steven Walling 14:22, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment} It is an illustration for a dojikko, a clumsy character type, common in anime and manga. Why shouldn't it be educating or used to illustrate this subject? --Niabot (talk) 15:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment Even if you disagree about educational value, the quality is just not there for FP. Steven Walling 16:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The problem with educational value is that the concept of a clumsy character can be pretty well described by words, so this illustration does not add much value. But that is not the only reason why this can be featurable - the guidelines say "Of high artistic merit: Works which, while not particularly well known, are none the less wonderful examples of their particular type or school of art.". Trouble is, I don't have the slightest clue whether that is the case here or not...

Oppose Comment Bad composition. Depending on the point of view and accessibility of the area results such as [3] [4] or [5] would be possible. ISO 400 creates visible noise and should be avoided by using a tripod or other suitable device for fixing the camera. If not possible denoising is recommended while post processing the image. The image lacks proper sharpness, post processing can improve this slightly. Levels/curves should be used for creating proper contrast and white balance here. Another version with more post processing and distortion/cropping would be great.--Peter Weis (talk) 00:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The worst is the lack of review. I prefer some negative reviews if the pitcure deserves it than no review at all. I do not add my opinion if I think that others have already expressed my view about a picture. And we need to give time so that people can actually review a picture. This one may not be featured but it is so bad that FPX is needed. I find the composition and the harmony of colors pleasant here. Yann (talk) 13:11, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, don`t understand me wrong. As I wrote allready, it is a solid picture. The fact it is a stitched image is secondary and doesn't make the picture any better, quite the contrary, but thats another thing... This side (FPC) is to review and feature the best pictures on commons and imo this picture is a perfect quality image but NOT the best on commons!

1. correct exposure (check the camera intern histogramm after taking a picture)

3. exposure blending -- mathias K 16:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taking more pictures of the same situation with different blends combining all of them in the aftermath. (Which I would not longer call photography.) —DerHexer (Talk) 11:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HAHAHA, thats funny! So you say raising the dynamic range of an digital camera by using exposure blending isn't photography? But stitching 4 pictures to one panorama using a computer program is still? Hm what a pitty, than are these pictures ([6] [7] [8] just 3 for example) just good enough for the recycle bin cause theire are all done with exposure blending...

I neither like stiching. But you're mixing statements and actions resp.

But simple photography (pressing the button in a given situation) is neither of them, imho (I have never said that this file is done by photography, it is, in fact, not).

I could think of a number of photographs of episodes in Dutch politics that might qualify as a featured picture (nl:Nacht van Schmelzer and nl:Lockheed-affaire), but this isn't one of them. MartinD (talk) 12:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You either oppose or you are neutral. As to selecting other episodes of Dutch politics is not relevant to the criteria for a featured picture.

Comment An indefinitely repeating loop would have been more useful IMO. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment impossible on commons. GIF images are to big, and won't be displayed correctly in articles. APNG is not commonly supported. Videos can't be looped currently. But if looping would be supported, it could be looped, since the animation (even 5 loops long) can be looped. --Niabot (talk) 16:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - What about File:Frontal lobe animation.gif, for example? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:00, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - It has much less colors, which can is better suited for a GIF file. Since GIF only supports 256 colors, and the resolution is much higher, it will be a very large file. The reader must leave the article page to view it, which is in my oppinion no good idea. --Niabot (talk) 08:56, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- Good but not enough for FP, the main problem being the flat flash lighting. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flat lighting? The main light is coming from top which is natural for insects. The additional flash is weak enough not to produce additional shadows on the legs. --Ikiwaner (talk) 06:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sun ligthing is coming from above, behind the camera, adding to the flat depiction of the thorax and specular reflections. I know we cannot put the bar at Richard's level (yet). But pictures like this one and this one are standards we should pursuit. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ Interesting subject, and I really like how the top fish turned out. Alas, I must oppose, due to the retouching job; it seems that, when the image was being retouched to turn the background black and to remove distractions in the background, the editor did blacking-out on only a portion of the bottom image in which the background had an original greenish-hue. As a result, there are black blotches on an otherwise greenish background all around the bottom image. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 04:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
