Oppose, I don't agree with the angle, sorry. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:15, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok. No horizon avaliable I'm afraid, which limits the angles. It's in a bay of a fjord so the opposite shoreline with dull dark trees, is just above this. --Cart (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nothing special, several pieces of wood and water (and rope, of course). Why this one for FP????? --Karelj (talk) 19:10, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since you ask (with five "?"): I could have said the same when you nominated a photo with tilted horizon and a cut boat and supported a photo with a fake background. I guess we have different ways of looking at photos. I find this aesthetic and you don't. --Cart (talk) 20:42, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, by my way of looking is the correct one. :) --Karelj (talk) 21:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose At least one can recognize a picture idea but why this should now be an FP remains hidden to me. As QI that would be ok but with such trivialities the author wastes no time. --Ermell (talk) 07:36, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ok guys, it's perfectly fine not to like a nominated photo but could you please do so without using a personally insulting language, that is not in line with Commons policy. Let's keep it civilized. --Cart (talk) 08:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment No need to be upset. I can't see anything offensive here. What I have written is true, isn't it? I think the picture is not bad, but it is presented on the wrong stage.--Ermell (talk) 12:56, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps what you meant to say in German was ok, but the way you wrote it in English, didn't come out quite right. Let's leave it at that. --Cart (talk) 13:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some here don't speak as brilliant English as you do, sorry if that wasn't translated in a meaningful way. I think the meaning has been understood.--Ermell (talk) 22:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Hm. I stared at it for a while to figure out if I can find any reason to feature this but it's not there. I see that there's a certain idea behind this picture (although I fail to verbalize it) but I think this could have been done better. Try black and white (ideally on film) and/or try a longer exposure (3 minutes or so). Then it could work. I'm sorry to say that the present photo looks just like a snapshot. Not among our finest in my eyes. --Code (talk) 09:23, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now that's the way to do it. Keeping it all factual about the photo and even give some tips. You are a credit to Commons and your profession. Thanks! Btw, long exposure wouldn't work here since the structure itself sways with the waves. --Cart (talk) 10:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This photo is kind of abstract to me, closer to this than to that for example. It's very much a question of feeling I think, because the quality is good -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is an abstract, even with some dynamics and tension built into it since you can almost see it falling. However, abstract is a touchy and volatile subject here on FPC and I usually get a lot of heat when I nominate anything in that genre, since it somehow seems to upset part of the users here. But sometimes something slips through, so I try since I like having lots of different kinds of FPs. --Cart (talk) 10:20, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's a simple composition, but very successful in my opinion. This eye-catching blue window in the center of the image is just perfect. And these different shades of harmonious colors mixed together with the landscape of the background create a calm, relaxing, and peaceful atmosphere. It's all about lines, shapes, and contrasts.

Neutral I'm not sure what to think here... I'm really open to artistic approaches but this image has an all too pseudo-scientific touch for me. There's no terraformed moon. Period. While I do appreciate the work from purely aesthetic and technical points of view (very much so!), I don't believe that featuring images such as this one is something I'd like to support. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:15, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Yes, I know that the 'weak support' can't be counted but I don't understand why you always write abstain on your noms. Ok, some nominators do that as a some sort of modesty thing, but most of us mortals are happy for every vote we can get including our own. It's perfectly within the rules. You can read it in the FPC#Voting section: "Everybody can vote for his/her own nominations." --Cart (talk) 00:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Cart. Or consider things this way : you need at least 6 supports from others (without too many oppose). The fact you like your image and nominate it here is certainly meaningful -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I said to GerifalteDelSabana on my talk page, I'm between neutral and weak support for this one. I find the composition good, but there are a few issues concerning the quality. The main problem is certainly the highlights of the background. Concerning the frame, I find it a bit large, with big room on top and not enough on the bottom. The drop from the beak is great, and it's a good action shot -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose An interesting/disturbing image, but the bird's face isn't totally sharp. Daniel Case (talk) 01:06, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Daniel, I'm sure you've read this? "Featured pictures candidates should meet all the following requirements, must have a "wow factor" and may or may not have been created by a Commons user. Given sufficient "wow factor" and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality." The face is sharp enough to see a few individual feathers so I'm not sure what unsharpness deserves an oppose... :o ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:18, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If I fully focused on the face, people would complain about other parts not being in focus and tell me to put a deeper DoF, which will bring the rocks in the background in focus and become a distraction, which people would complain even more about. It's the best shot under the circumstances, let me remind you this is a picture of an active animal eating, repeatedly dipping his head and swiveling back and forth. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: I hope you'll reconsider your vote after reading what I wrote. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:24, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GerifalteDelSabana: We have a lot of other bird FPs, from many nominations, and in all of them it has been constant that the bird's face, if nothing else, has to be sharp. Daniel Case (talk) 01:30, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: I don't see any bird FPs wherein the subject is standing on the prey of equal size, eating. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:31, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: If you have finished giving me the reason for your oppose vote, could you show me an FP with the same subject doing the same action with better technical quality? If so, I will withdraw the nomination. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 02:00, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Too unsharp, and I don't have to point to a better picture in this category to consider this not an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:36, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Fresh and beautiful at first sight, unfortunately not sharp enough for this low resolution. Certainly a tripod would have helped greatly here -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:08, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A tripod is by no means necessary for this kind of motif, imo --A.Savin 17:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, a tripod stabilizes your camera. Here at 1/125s, the shutter speed seems too low, as the image is abnormally unsharp at full size. With this static subject, how to explain the blur ? Move of the camera, in my opinion, and this move would have been avoided by a tripod. I'm saying that considering the chosen aperture of f/10. Otherwise, f/5,6 or f/6,3 would also probably fit very well, though this choice is the photographer's -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:12, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW a tripod is useless on a boat. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True but it also depends on the size of the boat. On a big boat at 1/125s, I think a tripod can save the shot. On a small boat, f/6,3 or higher iso would be better adapted -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:15, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Comment The file was created in a faulty way which led to a mistake in the code. The page is now moved and corrected. In addition to Martin's FPX, the file at 1,008 × 756 pixels = 0.76Mpx is below the minimum 2Mpx limit. --Cart (talk) 09:02, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful symmetry for me.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:25, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment At first glance the light because of the time of day does not make me crazy, but looking at it it can be improved by burning in the foreground and maybe make it a bit darker than the top part. Depending on the result I may support. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:42, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Done You are right, the light looks more balanced now --Llez (talk) 16:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer this version, too. But is it truer to life? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is the same material both in the bottom and in the upper part, so the colours are equal (as they are now). On the other hand, the angle of the light is dfferent, so that the bottom seems to be brighter than the eroded "rock" (previous version). As the light changes durig the day and also its angle of entry, both versions are "real" in my opinion, it depends on the time the photo is taken. In addition, if the object is in shadow (clouds) you have additional different lightning conditions. --Llez (talk) 05:05, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Then why don't you take the photo at a different time, when it actually looks like this? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:35, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are on tour, you can't wait hours for a single shot. I was at this place twice, but the first time it was too cloudy for fotos, so I returned another day (which was not planned). --Llez (talk) 11:45, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but IMO, you're cheating. Good work, but not actually real. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:11, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was the suggestion of Tomascastelazo (see above), I first uploaded the version with the actual ("true" in your sense) lightning. --

Comment Ikan Kekek Well, then, photography itself is the all time cheater! From analog to digital the true image is born with one bias or another due to the media on which the image is recorded. Black and white then could be considered an untruthful representation, color film had its own bias that people described as personality. True color reproduction has almost never been the case and it is brought about by some sort of manipulation, filters, burning and dodging, etc. In this particular case the brightness of the foreground was due to the angle of reflection of the light and it is a valid and legitimate technique to burn in an area in order to make the image more apparent to what the eye sees. In different brightness values the eye and the brain compensates, not so with photography, so a little help actually makes the image look the way the brain saw it. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:27, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Interesting motif but I'm sorry, the quality of this is insufficient for FP. It is badly tilted, there is chromatic aberration everywhere, the sharpness could be better the sky is washed out and blow in several places. It would be great if you read COM:PT to get some advice on how to fix your photos before nominating them here. I also see from the Exif that you have shot this in "Landscape mode". That setting didn't give you a short enough shutter time (since you were on a moving boat) so that's probably why this is not sharp enough. You would get better photos if you used the more advanced settings like "Shutter priority" or " Aperture priority". Do you use the RAW format or is this a straight from camera photo, processed in Photoshop? --Cart (talk) 09:37, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see, that we have here real expert of tilted images. I have no idea, how you can told that this photo is lilted, when you cannot have any idea, how this place look like in reality (and from boat). As I wrote, expert... --Karelj (talk) 11:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Come on! Look at the water! You don't have to be an expert to see the obvious tilt. Cart is trying to help you; I wish you'd show good grace. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:57, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't take it the wrong way when someone is really trying to help you. A good place to start looking to see if a photo is tilted is the waterline of a boat. You have a boat in this photo, look at the waterline on it. I understand that you want the tall cliff on the island to be straight and if you rotate it so that the waterline of the boat is horizontal, the cliff will tilt. That is because the photo also needs some perspective correction. See on COM:IG under section "Distortions". I want your photos to pass FPC, I really do, that is why I'm giving you some advice. Don't answer kindness with aggression and sarcasm, that is not a good way to get help in the future. --Cart (talk) 12:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
With some very basic photo processing (fix tilt, perspective correction, reduce over-saturation, remove some CA, fix color and contrast), the photo looks like this: File:Ko Po Da Nok island Thailand 2018 3 - edited.jpg. Just take a look at both and see the difference. Regarding your talk about "expert", yes, I am sort of an expert on fixing photos; it is what I do at work.

Regretful oppose I like the stark composition of a not often seen place in this significant prison. The ray of light/(hope) also seems appropriate.

Oppose per Cart and also in part per Peulle (the light isn't a problem for me). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others. This is very fresh in my mind as, like many attendees at this year's Wikimania, I went out to Robben Island myself as part of my effort to visit any nearby World Heritage Sites to any Wikimania (Cape Town has two ... this one and the Cape Floristic Region, which includes Table Mountain. And while, like Cart, I see the possibilities this offers, I also have to say this did not work out technically. We have the blown highlight up top, and the graininess and distortion.
It's not the easiest place to take pictures, believe me ... with the exception of the political prison and one stop where you have a great view back to Cape Town, you're on a bus the whole time you're on the island, and if you can shoot from that, great, if not ... You also don't really get this part of the walking tour at your pace, either, you sort of have to move quickly. Daniel Case (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Idea is good, realization is not great. Sorry but this big and blurry logo on the foreground is absolutely awful. Moreover the crop is very tight on the bottom. In addition, the light is not pleasant at all. Sky too clear, lack of details in all the dark parts, and dull colors. The only thing I congratulate is the originality of the shot. Risky picture, different from what we usually find here. Thanks for the idea, but not okay with the result -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:02, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good shot, but there is too much distortion when you approach the edges. That means that in this case, the noce mountains on the left are badly rendered, and they're kind of important in this composition. The further left I go, the more I want to see those beautiful mountains, and the fact that they don't look very good ruins it. I guess this could have been a good opportunity for a stitched panorama.--Peulle (talk) 13:42, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose They're falling, very good. So we see the right side, tidy, the middle collapsing, but what happens on the left is missing. The framing seems hazardous, like random. In particular the dark hole on the bottom left should be highlighted in the composition with a better integration. The first row of bricks is weak. Finally the whole is too ordinary, quite boring and not better than a QI -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment LOL! I read someone not too long ago about revenge votes being easy to spot... Just sayin' --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:48, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tomascastelazo wrote a few days ago "I rarely oppose photographs here, and when I do, I expose the reason for my oppose. My ratio support vs oppose must be 100-1, and that is easy to verify." (here). Not coherent at all with the facts, which are indeed very easy to verify yes, just checking the archives. At least 3 oppose on my own candidatures during this current month for example. On the contrary, I use to oppose a lot, on many different candidatures, and this is verifiable too. Fortunately most of the nominators here understand and accept divergent opinions, without getting upset and immediately talking about "revenge". That's absolutely ridiculous, especially when we check that the single person who has just opposed right now to my last nomination here, after this subjective review is precisely Tomascastelazo again with a very inspired comment. Completely absurd. So stick to the fact, accept contradiction, stay logic, and don't make false accusation. Greetings -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:19, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, I don´t know where you get your statistics or perhaps you are your own victim of inductive thinking... Check my entire oppose history... As far as my yes, subjective evaluation, because all of them are, stands about your photograph. Unsharp, out of scale, all in one and poorly composed. I understand that you may like it, but between you liking it and it being a great photograph, there is a biiiiiiiiig space. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:52, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the big space :

Tomascastelazo's 10 last nominations : 30% success ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

Basile Morin's 10 last nominations : 90% success ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

Tomascastelazo's 10 last votes : 90% matching the consensus, with exclusively supports ( S, S, S, S, S, S, S, S, S, S)

Basile Morin's 10 last votes : 100% matching the consensus, with an alternation of oppose & supports ( S, S, S, O, S, S, O, O, O, O)

Now we have to stick to the subject. The problem of this picture is not that I'm the only one to oppose, as it already happened previously with a more understanding nominator (1). Seriously the problem is this crop. We can see the trouble from the file page history. I'm not inventing anything : clue of the weakness, the picture was already cropped twice from its original size before being nominated. On this first version, the issue mentioned in my review above is very much visible. The composition is totally unbalanced, with the left part hidden, like missing. Not an elegant image, with the cut brick near the darkest hole on the bottom left. I respect every divergent opinion here, just sorry, that's my feeling and I share it. The picture is sharp, the subject is too ordinary. In the guidelines on the top of this page, we can read "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject". That's the case currently. Bricks, nothing else. No lizard, no vegetation, no fancy, just a red wall. Abstract nominations are welcome in FPC, but they have to be exceptional. Is this texture extraordinary ? The left part missing sounds like a story which is not terminated. Trying to cut the right part to hide a problem on the left didn't work well. Now the strange ratio L/W = 1,3658 is a bit awkward. Other people may agree with this choice, it happens sometimes, but personally I don't follow here the consensus. This difference was expressed with frankness. Now anyone is free to take a step back to improve, or not. Good luck -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:36, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment OMG! Don´t you have anything better to do? So, what do the statistics as you present them mean? That you get more pics approved as FP? So, what does that mean? That you approve and oppose with a higher degree of accuracy? So? Again, what does that mean? Perhaps you could use your visionary ability to buy Lotto instead!!!! Seriously, what the heck do those number mean? Ah, and BTW, did any of your works of art make it to the finalists in POTY? Just askin´!

Now, as you say, with the subject... So you don´t like it. Oppose it, end of discussion. Your diatribe is puerile and plain stupid on many fronts. Nowhere will you find that one is obligated to use the full image area of a photograph, nowhere. Cropping is a choice and a very legitimate tool of every photographer and graphic designer... As for the rest, go with God my dear child, may he enlighten you and shine the path to better things to do, like taking pictures... real photographs... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:54, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the cut on the female dorsal could be better, with some grey background showing. Personally, while these may have educational/scientific value, I don't find them appealing photographically. There is over-exposure as User:The Photographer notes, but there's nothing 3D about the image at all. The light has obliterated any perception of form. I also don't really like when images are crudely cut out on black. There's always something lost and the effect never looks real compared to when a black background is achieved in the setup. The Photographer, I don't think this is downsized. The female dorsal photo is cropped vertically, to produce a wider aspect than 3:2, and there's only 160px cropped of the width (which is about 2%). Perhaps the other photos were taken at the same position/view, and cropped more so. -- Colin (talk) 10:44, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
These images are normative images that must describe the subject without embellishment. A D3 effect should be avoided. The colors must be the closest to a living subject that the subjects living for that overexposure is part of the process. There is no reduction, and the framing is strictly related to sexual dimorphism, length of the abdomen and wing morphology. There are many other constraints related to this type of photography; the most difficult thing is the need to be alone and to limit one's movement; a displacement of air can move an antenna or move a wing and the stacking series is wrong it is necessary to start again.

Oppose Well, this image can be split in three zones... The bottom one with about 20% of the image area depicts a cricket match. As a sports photo, the subject is much too small and lacks action. The second area is the tree line, which to me is the best part of the image but unfortunately overall the image lacks sharpness and is furthermore ruined by buses, construction equipment and some walkers that are oblivious to the game. And third, the top part is fuzzy overall and as Colin states, it could have benefited from more space on the left. I do not find redeeming photographic qualities here. Not even a QI. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:57, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not even -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:15, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Basile, I don't think the fact that it is a QI is much relevant as a response to Tomas's opinion. QI itself is merely the opinion of one viewer, and typically in my experience doesn't give much weight to what makes a great picture. The thing that caught my eye was the juxtaposition of an old fashioned colonial game of cricket vs some alien spaceship that has landed and is 'walking' across the frame, separated by a line of trees. This vertical framing is just right. Horizontally, though, it is frustratingly all wrong, with the cricketers too far to the right and the "spaceship" too far to the left. And those coaches and random passers-by are indeed negative elements. The building is likely as sharp as atmospheric conditions would permit at this distance. -- Colin (talk) 16:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info Rubjerg Knude Fyr is a (rather famous) lighthouse between Lønstrup and Løkken (municipality Hjørring) in Denmark which was bulit in 1900. From the 1910s, the wind blew large amounts of sand from the cliffs and the actual dune formed between the lighthouse and the sea. The dune moved towards northeast and now has completely passed the lighthouse. Of the outbuildings only loose bricks remained. The lighthouse itself is expected to collapse soon. The Danish nature authority is planning to dismantle the building before it is going to fall into the north sea. It's a very impressive place and highly popular with photographers. I had the privilege to be there on a very calm and beautiful evening so I could take a lot of photographs of the lighthouse from different views and at different times. Although you won't notice it from the photographs it was still very crowdy there. As the authorities already expected the lighthouse to collapse at the end of 2017 this was probably my last possibility to visit this amazing place. I was there a second time some days later but it was so windy then that I didn't take my camera out of the bag at all because I was afraid to ruin it in the sandstorm.

Support I generally prefer a wider crop for landscape -- closer to our vision and also 16:9 fills the monitor. I tried such a crop as suggested above, but either too much sky or too much sand. Actually prefer a 16:9 crop with equal removed top and bottom. It makes the lighthouse that bit bigger in the frame, when viewed fullscreen, but doesn't make any difference when there's no height restriction such as a thumbnail on a Wikipedia page. -- Colin (talk) 11:29, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm really balancing between neutral and weak support here. Overall quite aesthetic but not enough room on the bottom. The big open sky evokes free space, while the guardrail is sectioned too tight, inducing a claustrophobic feeling. I assume this crop was induced by the garbage on the foreground (though these bins are in my opinion less disturbing than was the ghost on this previous nomination).

Info created by W.carter - uploaded by ComputerHotline - nominated by W.carter. This file was harvested from my Flickr account before I had time to upload it on Commons, hence the unusual file history and the bumpy start, now taken care of. I know that my camera isn't good enough to capture astronomical events on a NASA-level, so instead I went for framing. Going to the old cemetery, I was thinking of getting the eclipse framed by gravestones, but clouds and angle prevented this. I had to do with a gnarled tree instead (the thing down right is the top of a gravestone). Since most other photos of the eclipse are taken further south, this is one of the few with the sky still blue, the way it is on bright summer nights here in the north. I think this and the framing makes it worth a try here. -- Cart (talk) 22:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Cart (talk) 22:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose It seems that you've put effort quite a lot of effort into this, however, imho, feel that the image does not have enough technical quality: the crescent is too blown, the sky is a bit too bright, and the moon isn't sharp enough. I also don't really like the composition, but I guess that's up to one's personal taste. Sorry. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 03:39, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~regretfully~~ An exposure of 8s is too long, I'm afraid. When taking pictures of the moon, I try to keep exposure at 1/50 max (!), allowing high ISO accordingly - as a rule of thumb --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:26, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In hindsight you are right about the time/ISO, that was a fumble. Regarding the bright sky mentioned above and below, not much I can do about it. We are still in the part of the year where we don't really get nights here in the north, only long blue hour. That's what sets this photo apart from most of the rest and made me want to try it here. I did take some photos with shorter time and thought about making some HDR and get the crescent not so bright, but it just looked odd since you still get the glow from the moon in the surrounding sky. --Cart (talk) 08:49, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I too tried to see if I could get an HDR moon photo, with the last supermoon, using bracketed exposures. But the moon moves and the bright frames do indeed get filled with a glow (atmosphere, lens flare?) that doesn't then merge with the darker frames. I couldn't get anything realistic, though perhaps a more experienced lunar photographer would do better than me. -- Colin (talk) 12:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support There are technical issues but it is a rare event to get a lunar eclipse occurring in the evening (blue-hour sky) and close to the horizon (so you can include features on the ground in the frame). My hopes of a photo of the blood moon rising over Tower Bridge were dashed by a 100% blanket of cloud. I don't understand the complaint "the sky is too bright": this is Sweden in the summer. Also it isn't realistic to get both the eclipsed and lit crescent in one frame without the crescent blowing -- the lit moon is a very bright object. I'm surprised at the exposure length because the detail in the moon is acceptable for its size and position close to the horizon. The moon lacks detail at this position, because there is so much atmosphere in the way. The nearest similar photo I found on Commons was File:Lunar Eclipse 2018 SG 015 (28804398927).jpg, and there's not really any more detail in that. Most other photos are boring red discs in an anonymous black sky. What I like here is the composition with the trees, the blue sky, the partial eclipse, and that it serves as a good record about what was unusual with this particular eclipse. -- Colin (talk) 08:23, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

gladly Colin's right. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Dark, dark. My first impression is negative too. There's no much to see on this image, apart from a small point ultraluminous (with blown highlights) in the middle of a night. The trees have no texture and are blurry at full size. The blue sky is evenly spread without shade nor consistance. For the moon, I wonder what HDR would have given here, but that's a detail.

Info Reason to delist: This was voted FP in 2011, but considering the chroma noise, lack of sharpness (DoF) and not too high resolution, I feel it is not worthy of being called one of the finest images on Commons in 2018. (Original nomination)

Comment Should we delist FPs because they don't meet current standards or should we consider the age of the image, too? Just asking. Is there a policy or discussion about it somewhere? --Podzemnik (talk) 15:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's the idea, yes. I'm referring to the Guidelines: "The purpose of featured picture status is to recognize that an image is currently among the most valuable images—the top fraction of a percent. As overall image quality improves, some images will be delisted." Age is relevant, sure, but not always. If, for example, there's an old image that carries enormous weight on it's subject matter, the age may be irrelevant. Take the Bernafay Wood image, for instance. Of course it has a lower technical quality than today's images, since it was taken in 1916, but the subject matter is so strong that the quality becomes less relevant. The reason I nominated this image for delisting is that it was taken in 2008 and I don't feel that the quality is high enough anymore. Others may disagree and say that the subject matter has a high enough "wow factor" to remain an FP despite the mediocre quality.--Peulle (talk) 16:55, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Peulle; a shame as if it had been larger and sharper I would have given it serious consideration. Daniel Case (talk) 18:29, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Gerifalte, Peulle, & Daniel Case: I am not trying to create contention or be of disrespect, but in regards to the technical quality of this photograph I must say that we may be getting too pixel-perfect and picky. What exactly do you expect in "2018 FP," because I must say a Canon 80D is a plenty modern camera, and 16 megapixels shouldn't be considered not "large" enough. Okay, it is true that the focus/sharpness on the left could be somewhat better, but for online viewing at even a decent-sized resolution, it would not be of major concern, and I would be willing to say that one could easily make a perfectly acceptable 13x19 print even in spite of the sharpness. Besides the small downfalls in focus and sharpness, there still remain many other good qualities of this for FP: compositonally, the image is great, with lines from the trees and cliff leading down to the expansive vast ocean. And for me, a scene like this, with the cliffs and trees towering over the idyllic beach, has plenty of "wow factor." And finally, the exposure is near-perfect, there are no highlights that are too bright and no shadows that are too dark, which must of been difficult considering the difference in brightness of the sky and on the cliff. My point of all of this, extending beyond this single nomination, is where do you draw the line with technical quality vs. content and composition? Because it seems to me this nomination is being sunk for nominal imperfections while its other great qualities are being ignored. Thanks. wclarke 02:12, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@WClarke: In my humble opinion, I feel that it just does not live up to the quality for an FP; it looks like a picture anyone could take with a point-and-shoot. I'm sorry, I really disagree. Check out User:Code's FPs for an example what I'd think a landscape FP would be like, or give a search for "Georg Scharf" on Google. This is not of FP level to me, sorry. Maybe someone else might think otherwise. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 03:03, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All right, sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but you asked for my opinion so you're going to get it, no sugar coating. In my opinion, the technical quality of this image falls far short of what is deemed "one of the best images on Commons". FPs aren't just good photos, they are - as the Guidelines specify - among the best available. You said it yourself; the sharpness is not good enough. The details are not there. There is also a great degree of noise in the green sections. For Pete's sake, there are even chromatic aberrations in the trees! If you look at some of the current Featured Pictures in the same category (nature/landscape), you will see that the quality of the ones promoted far outshines this one. And speaking of categories, this image is uncategorized, which is actually an immediate disqualifier right there. Now, I will grant you that there are a couple of redeeming features - you mention the composition and I'll admit it's not bad. It's not enough, though. Let us then have a look at the "wow" factor. Firstly, remember that each image "speaks" to people differently. For some, this might be a lovely landscape evoking nice feelings, whereas to others, it may be "just another beach". The thing is, some reviewers here have looked at thousands of landscape images, so to be impressed, the image in question really needs to be great. My personal opinion is that to overcome the rather serious technical flaws in this image, there would have to be something truly amazing indeed; I'm talking tsunami/tornado/president on surfboard kind of amazing. The fact that I grew up in a town where beautiful beaches abound, may make it even more difficult to convince me. Better luck next time. :) --Peulle (talk) 05:05, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So what about your snake from a zoo, or your duck from a zoo, too ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the other FPs of mongooses we already have, the majority of them were shot in captivity too (1, 2, 3, 4). This is a 24 Mpx photograph shot vertically with a tripod and the sharpness is certainly one of the best at this size. I love wildlife and several of my wildlife pictures were promoted here. But living in a place were captive animals are still very wild, sometimes I enjoy visiting parks and zoos to observe the behavior of rare species. Very similar in nature -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:58, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We're discussing your picture, not those FPs of mine taken 5 or 6 years ago. Those 2 of mine are kind of macro images to a distance the animals run away or (in the case of rhe snake head) where you don't want to be so close. Meerkats are not shy and are not an endangered species. Will upload soon one with great sharpness, nice evening lighting and of a wild animal. Poc o² 04:06, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you're discussing your pictures too. Now even saying you're going to upload a super shot of a wild animal with great sharpness and nice lighting. Also suggesting your snake and your duck had good reasons to be photographed in zoos, but not this meerkat ? Nonsense -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:54, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't visit a zoo for 5 years now and will not do that again, at least not withe the purpose to search for FP-worthy material. Those shots compared to those of Charles (or yours of wildlife) are of little value IMHO. That's my point. Poc o² 14:20, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, honestly I don't see where would be the difference with wildlife here, if it had been. There's nothing on this picture apart from an animal and a stone. And I don't think the depicted behavior is corrupted by the environment. So your motive looks more like a matter of principle. Kind of "I would have supported this pizza if it had been vegetarian" -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:44, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Out-of-topic discussion

Comment I don't wish to receive Thanks-notifications just for supporting an FPC nomination, thanks for understanding. --A.Savin 09:31, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't understand. The reason of my thanks is not that you support this FPC, but that you take some of your time to consider my picture. Certainly open it, inspect it, check the details at full size, and finally judge it for what it deserves. I'm grateful for this participation, and try to notify it. But if my thanks are bothering you, feel free to disable these notifications within your parameters. Perhaps you would like also to receive thanks for every oppose you give, like for example this one saying the woman is "just ugly" and you'd preferred not to see her. But the reason I don't send thanks for that is simply because I don't share this idea. Even if I totally respect your opinion and don't contest the honesty of your feeling, I can't be grateful for a judgment radically opposed to mine. I'm just neutral in that case, surprised and observer. Divergent opinions are always welcome, but no thanks are never required, especially when the voice is far from the consensus. If there's anything unclear in my explanation, or if I did not understand clearly your comment, feel free to detail and ask, you can use my talk page for that. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No idea why it needs a long comment. I'm against inflationary usage of Thanks-notifications; not generally against its usage (that's why I'm not planning to deactivate it and sometimes use it myself). But if you're not willing to respect it, OK, it's up to you; I will then ignore any of your future nomination completely, surely you'll find enough other users to rubber-stamp your pictures; I'm just a little man and my humble opinion counts nothing, just like in case of the ugly lady you mentioned. --A.Savin 10:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - IMO, it's good enough to support even though it's of a captive animal, and therefore, not as difficult to take as a photo shot in the wild. That's irrespective of my opinion that whales should not be held captive. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I have some difficulty understanding all this fuss about animal photos having to be in the wild to get credit, especially when it is a more or less close-up of the animal. A good photo is a good photo. Sure, in the wild you have to find and stalk your subject so more effort is needed, but in my experience it can be hard to get a good compo in a zoo too. There are always fences, artificial things, people, shadows from structures etc. in the way. Most of the time the animals are asleep, eating or looking bored and it's hard to get an angle other than top down. To me it's a bit like saying that you have to photograph a flower or plant in its natural habitat and never in a garden or hothouse. I too have mixed feelings about keeping animals in captivity, but we need good photos of everything so I see no reason not to support it. This could very well be an illustration for an article about the downside of keeping wales in captivity, a good photo might make people read it. --Cart (talk) 18:05, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daniel, of course normally cairns are meant for marking a mountain path.

Weak support Interesting context to see a lowering plant in. Although maybe it doesn't need so much space around it. Daniel Case (talk) 02:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for the support. May I cite this comment by Franz van Duns on QIC? ”I do want to emphasize the fact that this image not only displays an outcrop of a rare plant, but also places the surrounding bare and not yet weathered rock to exactly the right proportions. A true eye-catcher, I really like it.” This flower blossoms for a very short period and lives on dolomite rock at an elevation between 1700 and 2000 meters --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 05:51, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:06, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support Yes, of course, Wolfgang, you may definitely cite my QIC comment. This image is outstanding just because it breaks with one of the rules that IMHO have seeped into Wiki Commons, namely close-cropping. In many cases close-cropping is a boon, by just cutting away distracting elements. In this case the nigh-silvery-and-orange sheen of the spacious rock face, which in itself presents a highly attractive structure, does ample service to emphasize the deep blue and green hues of the plant cluster. And, an afterthought, at low resolution this image may seem slightly bland to some, but at the highest resolution, which Wiki Commons emphasizes as a desireable goal, and especially when viewed on a 4k monitor, the colour, detail, and proportion of this image just blow you away. Still love it. Keep up the good work! --Franz van Duns (talk) 08:45, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I can surely see the artistic side of this, but IMO the photo is a bit too dark and the WB too blue and that makes the photo look dull. (Suggestion, corr only WB and light) --Cart (talk) 09:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I did a very slight correction of temperature and brightness but the histogram looks perfect --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 11:13, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks better now. Going by the histogram is not always enough and can sometimes be very misleading. We see light, colors and contrasts in relation to each other in a way that histograms can't measure. A good image is not based on numbers and diagrams but rather on our sometimes irrational brain. --Cart (talk) 12:06, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not enough space on top, and the branches look awkward, per Daniel -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:33, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Well, this is a photograph of a bird in the wild that shows the subject in its natural environment, looking at the camera, as opposed to other pictures of zoo animals in artificial environments in uninteresting poses where you can´t see their eyes. Showing the surroundings is also an important part of documentary photography ;) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:34, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As this image is "opposed to other pictures of zoo animals in uninteresting poses", I regret the pose of this bird is not very exciting. Compared to other FPs of herons we have (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in their environments too, the action of this one is rather soporific. We have to find the picture aesthetic for some reasons to promote it, and here the composition is not convincing at all. The animal seems crushed in the framing, and this crop aims to grant a big importance to these broken branches, actually more bothering than captivating by their aspect -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:25, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Basile Morin I would appreciate that you limit your editing to your opinions and format and refrain from making changes to my edits or format. My above comment was a general comment and not a commentary on your post. If you want to make an edit as a comment to mine you are free to do so. I have reverted your vandalism. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:23, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it was interpreted as a commentary on my post because 1) starting by the interjection "Well", like to say "OK, some truth here, but not completely agree", and 2) opposing in its content to other animals (meerkat and orca) recently nominated. My edit is consultable and totally respects the text above. No word nor any single letter was altered in this paragraph. Thus I find the accusation really extreme and not relevant at all. Because without indentation the comment sounds like "I want to contest this review, but I don't want" . Also recently there was another indentation problem I had to fix too because the alignment was wrong. No worry, let's keep the ponctuation as it is now, and just focus on the composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:30, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Oh boy! you really have an imagination! And you did edit the format, which is vandalism. But yes, let´s keep it photographic. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 04:53, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The composition is a little chaotic, but I also strongly object to the way the filename makes the people in it, particularly the girl, poster children for a public health problem. Daniel Case (talk) 15:17, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While it certainly is an image that makes you stop and think, and the compo is ok (it's not a prortait but a photo of a condition), I agree with Daniel about exposing a little girl like this. She will grow up and the photo will probably still be around for her to see, especially if we feature it. I'm not impressed by the processing quality either. I follow the Stockholm Photographical Museum on Instagram, and they recently showed an exhibition online about a small autistic boy and his problems with dealing with the world, photos taken by his own father. The reactions about displaying a child with a condition that way were overwhelmingly negative. --Cart (talk) 20:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I struck my supporting vote because of these arguments. I tend to just react to the photo without thinking about the ramifications for the individual(s) depicted in it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:50, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That has to be the most insensitive comment I have ever read here on FPC!!! Have you no decency? You are talking about wanting to see a child dead. That is certainly a blocking offence. --Cart (talk) 22:11, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment +1. Seriously, Karelj, I really hope that comment stems from a lack of fluency in the English language, otherwise I'd certainly support removing your privileges from Commons. The campaign against obesity is one of the most important health issues in the world, but the campaign cannot be carried out by shaming individual children who are suffering from obesity through no fault of their own. It must be carried out by educating the masses (notably parents), taxing unhealthy food products while increasing the use of healthy food products in public institutions, measures such as these. Seriously, get your act together.--Peulle (talk) 22:44, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One inappropriate sentence deleted. --Karelj (talk) 06:48, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I knew from the start that this would be a controversial image, however there is much to be said about it. The first thing is to determine with what eyes are you seeing it? That is one of the most important things. My intention is to very crudely, cruely, depict a very serious problem. If you see the other women in the photograph, are obese, handicapped and probably diabetic. The child is going to get there very, very soon. That child is one of many who are morbidly obese due to a lot of factors, education, social economic status, family environment, genetics, etc., etc. But the main reason for people to get like that is the quality of the food they eat. Humaniy is at the mercy of industrial food, high low quality carbs and low protein. Just about everything nowadays in modern society is industrialized food, and it is that food, from which soft drinks are part of, that has created in many countries an obesity epidemic. Many will say that what people eat is a personal choice. While that is partially true, children do not have or make that choice, like this little girl. They just eat what is put in front of them. The industrial food industry plays a big role in this issue that has an incredible financial burden on society. Diabetes is the leading cause of death in Mexico, per capita, people drink more soft drinks than people in the US, the cause of this is marketing, distribution and availability and lack of clean water. Mexicans are genetically badly prepared against sugar and industrialized food, thus the diabetes epidemic. Dialysis costs Mexico hundreds of millions of dollars.

I see this photograph as a picture of a social and health problem and reality. It is not a pretty picture. Technically some people may have issues, but this is exactly how I present it, with the heads of the adults cut out in order to focus on the girl. I doubt this will find its way into Vogue or a fashion magazine, but it could find its way into cultural and scientific publications that study or work in this social problem. A fashion designer may not like it, but a nutritionist or medical doctor may find it useful, and that is the intention. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:30, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your opinion, it is certainly well thought out. As for the image's featurability, I agree that obesity is a problem that should be documented, however for a featured picture I don't think this composition works; it focuses on the child and crops out all the others. It would be less problematic if there was a photo taken from behind someone, so that you could see their whole bodies but retain some anonymity. Images of children are problematic and you'll definitely need their consent to upload this to Commons under this topic.--Peulle (talk) 12:31, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

COM:IDENT has long given "An obese girl" as an example of a label/title/filename that could be potentially derogatory or demeaning. While the image by itself is ok, the title/description implies a potentially harmful medical diagnosis on the subject(s). Btw, COM:IDENT used to suggest that a pixellated version of such an image was acceptable but no longer does. Scholarly journals investigated this practice wrt their own image-use and found it quite problematic and ineffective and it is now discouraged [e.g. look at the thumbnail -- if you knew this child, you'd recognise her]. As such I've reverted the blurred version that was overwritten ontop of this. Personally, I think such an image & label is probably OK in the archives of a publisher who may then use it sensitively, but more of an issue on a public-facing website that is used for Google image searches, and even more so if incorporated into Wikipedia pages or Featured. -- Colin (talk) 13:55, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colin, The idea of Commons is to be a place of images, no matter the subject, for all images have the potential to be used in legitimate publications, but at the same time, with the same intensity but in the opposite direction, images can be used in negative contexts, but that is the price to pay. I think that in FPC, as part of the general idea of Wikipedia, moral postures should be left outside. And we can have a big discussion about that. In general, photography is a medium, a channel, an instrument of something beyond the individual photograph, and it can also be a discourse in itself. This type of photograph is a category in itself, and the category is photographs that illustrate a phenomena, ugly or pretty, and have such a strength that creates action or conscience. For example, the photograph of #REDIRECT[[1]] had an important impact in American society during the Vietnam war, and it is a classic photograph, but it is beyond the photograph itself. Another classic is the child and the vulture photograph #REDIRECT[[2]], (I recommend for all to see Times 100 influential photos here #REDIRECT[[3]]. I mention this because photography is not about pixels and ca, and sharpness, it is about what it shows, and many, many times the technical quality is not there but their value is not diminished by that. To exclude controversial topics or photographs from FPC because they might make some people uncomfortable is a disserve to photography and Wikipedia. In this case, as I said before, the intention is to create awareness about a public health issue, and people are complaining about pixels. The question is, does the image illustrate the problem? Look at it and tell me. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:27, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is possible to illustrate the problem by either taking a photo where the subjects are not identifiable in any way or where consent is given. FP is about our best photography, and IMO that can include judgement about the ethics of how a picture is taken, presented, captioned, described, etc. A more extensive discussion probably belongs on the DR. -- Colin (talk) 07:39, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support IMO the tree shouldn't be in the center, one to two thirds may be better. --XRay ^talk 17:43, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's an isolated tree lost in a large space and positioned that way in the center of a "desert", it makes it unusual, like being an intruder. The choice of this composition was also decided in relation with the sky, the black mountains behind, and the light. As there was a very strong current on the river that day (flooding during the monsoon), I had really little time to make sophisticated adjustments while my pirogue was drifting. But the fact that the landscape behind is quite desert (only water) doesn't justify a decentering of the subject in my opinion. Finally I also kept this composition because of the shape of the clouds over. But I made a shot from another angle a few minutes later.

It's a very nice photo but sorry to say, it looks a bit washed out now, there are other ways of making a subject stand out. You unfortunately had the light from the wrong direction and that was very visible in the first version.

Comment - I'm not going to buck such a strong consensus to merely delay the coronation of this photo, but my feeling about it is that sure, it's a clear picture of a deserted street on a cloudy dusk after the rain, but the composition isn't great and it's a very good QI to me.

Oppose Very unpleasant smile. In France, the name Le Pen has been associated for decades with anti-immigration and often racist politics. Not a joy to find her here, especially with this repulsive facial expression. ~~Witch~~ Contrived -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Poetic. I find the subject intriguing. The light and the colors in Cart's buoy were better, but here the object is so particular, like surreal.

Comment This bird is special due to the refection in the water. We don't have so many pictures of this kind, from the main page the only one I've found shows Flamingos with a water reflection less intense than here. I like the posture. It's active. However, I find the crop too large on the left and suggest a tighter one with the same ratio (see note). I think it's important here because the composition is very graphic, like modern design. Also I would suggest a little tilt clock-wise (between 0,5 and 1 degree maximum) so that the head is higher and the animal appears more vertical -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:53, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I understand why everyone likes this picture, but before it's featured, would it be OK to smooth out the color noise a bit? Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:46, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Why don't you ask the photographer? This image has been processed from raw using Photoshop, so the result is their artistic creation, and perhaps their compromise between fixing the noise/posterisation issues and losing detail or over-smoothing the result. Also, one of our Photoshop experts could offer to attempt a reprocessing from raw, but it isn't always easy to achieve the same effect on an image like this. I'd really rather we didn't fiddle with the JPG. -- Colin (talk) 07:41, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I expect this nomination to be controversial, so hear me out. We constantly hear pleas to pretend in photography that we aren't living in the 21st century, requiring photos to have no cars and even no people in them. And the question to me in regard to a tremendous tourist attraction like Angkor Wat isn't whether it's unrealistic to require that all photos of it include no people, either by arriving when it's closed or cloning them all out; it's whether the people actually make the photo less than excellent. And in this case, I submit to you that we have an excellent view of the most famous part of Angkor Wat, with two women in the center adding a splash of color and a welcome structural element (though not an ancient one) and some more people elsewhere being somewhat less obtrusive parts of the scene. Call it a juxtaposition of the digital age and an ancient temple complex if you like, but I think this photo is very good and deserves a feature (though I'd be sympathetic to changing the description to "View of the central structure of Angkor Wat with two women"). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Agree and disagree with Ikan, so here comes the controversy... Agree that the description, and also the 3 categories, are not describing well the content. There are people on the picture, and these people in the center dressed with colorful clothes and mirroring in the water should obviously be mentioned somewhere in the file page. Otherwise, the subject is nearly wrong. Imagine the picture without these two women, it would have been completely different. The picture is only 62% from its original size, either cropped or downsized. Concerning the composition, there is too much sky compared to the bottom crop, and horizontally the main tower could have been positioned in the middle, so that the tourists visible on the left would have disappeared, and the temple would have stand much better within the composition. I agree that Siem Reap is usually crowded, and that such pictures with no tourist might be difficult to make, however, if you really want the buildings only, then you have 2 solutions : 1) patience, waiting until the place gets free 2) technique, taking two photographs with a tripod and clone out the intrusive elements in each after shooting. Then now the picture should be considered as it is : temple with tourists taking photographs of themselves. Is the action great ? Not really. Maybe a Buddhist monk walking, or a local child jumping would have made this image awesome, but here it rather shows the spectacle we have not paid for when purchasing the 37 US$ entrance ticket. I don't agree that the 21st century may justify weak sceneries with distracting elements as a modern way of life. There certainly are impressive architectural constructions with similar water reflection in non-touristic places, just you need to search and find. Here the photographer didn't search, as the attraction was perfectly located on the map, Angkor Wat being the major touristic site in Cambodia. Then, to make an exceptional picture of such classic destinations, you really have to find the special element or the particular situation that will make your shot original -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:05, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I respect you for taking the time to think about all of that and write it down. Thanks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:02, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure, too. I think this is a very good photo, but if it doesn't get the votes for FP, the reasons you mention could be considered the difference between a good and a great picture. I'll see whether more people pass judgment on it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:20, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good picture, yes, and bad also. I can't imagine this image in a guide book for example, it's too far from the tradition and local culture -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Basile Morin, I have selected that picture among a dozen other, exactly because of the woman in red dress. The photo with that pair just looked more interesting than other more usual shots of Angkor Watt central structure. It is a pity I could not make a photo of rural life with Angkor in background but I think it is no longer possible. At least for an outsider who can enter the area only during a day. The place is overcrowded by tourists. I believe scene as you describe, showing local culture, may be now possible only if someone close the area and intentionally arrange it there. Sorry -- Jakubhal 19:46, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this place is "overcrowded by tourists", especially between November and February, during the dry season with mild temperatures. But here there are 2 problems with them : 1) they are highly visible in the center, while the description of the image is "View of the central structure of Angkor Wat" only, and no ladies. 2) These women are taking pictures like pure tourists, and this action is particularly incompatible with the magic. Never will you find such pictures in a gallery, otherwise we would ask the photographer "hey, are you doing art or just snapshots in touristic sites with your mobile phone like these ladies ?" The temple is beautiful, the tourists action is not romantic at all -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Right now you're probably thinking: "What? He's voting against one of Llez' shell pics? Is that even possible?" I know, I usually support these too, so let me explain my reasoning. It's simple, really. It's the shells. Their colours are fairly uniform, just a slight variation between light yellow and white, not with some of the exciting stripes or patterns we have become used to seeing in these nominations. As such, they are less exciting. Less impressive, less "wow-y" than the photos I've become accustomed to seeing. That's all.--Peulle (talk) 15:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment To make photos of such uniform shells (without overexposing) and showing however all details is much more difficult than a photo of shell with various different colours and "with some of the exciting stripes or patterns". --Llez (talk) 20:07, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but there's a problem with inflation; so many great shell pics raises the standard since I get used to seeing better ones.--Peulle (talk) 20:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Each shell is a masterpiece of nature. I do not dare to differentiate between better and worse shells. In my opinion they all are aestetic, independent the colour and shape they have. Just such shells as the shell above are a challenge for photographers. --Llez (talk) 20:51, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm sorry but I must agree with Peulle (and I have, I think, !voted against one of these other collections—can't remember which). It is not to say that Llez shouldn't have taken it, or even nominated it; it is certainly an image we should have on Commons, and possibly even a QI. But Peulle is right that the nature of these shells makes it difficult to get out of them much of what has made other shell sets featurable—ironically, to me, that is in part because so much care was taken in photographing them. Daniel Case (talk) 03:59, 12 August 2018 (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: the image has a fairly low resolution and is not of the technical quality expected from other interior photos. It is also uncategorized.--Peulle (talk) 07:38, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Since this hasn't gotten any !votes yet, I will venture to suggest that there's a featurable image still to be found here. First, the slight pincushion distortion needs to be corrected. Second, I think it would do better with the walls, and possibly even the trim above, cropped out, to leave just a square picture of the doors themselves. Support now.

Oppose As Peulle says. I love trees, but this picture isn't very interesting. --GeXeS (talk) 20:11, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It seems you wanted to depict the living sand drift, but the light is the wrong way for that. It is flat on the sand so the viewers attention goes to the trees beyond instead. This should probably be photographed earlier or later to get good structural shadows on the sand dunes. --Cart (talk) 06:23, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral My first thought was, wow, those must be really big rats . However, I've noticed that in other pictures of these buildings the half-timbering is red, almost scarlet, whereas here they seem more like red velvet cake. Is this something that could be addressed? Daniel Case (talk) 23:09, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Most of the images you'll find online are dated and the paint is not as saturated as it used to be. Although the lighting might be a more decisive factor. The timberframing will look entirely different on an overcast day. For this particular image, I wouldn't consider nudging the colors though.

{{o|Formal oppose}} It is certainly a well executed photo, but it has no element that makes me go wow for it. It is the kind of photo of a fairly standard city hotel lounge you see in a glossy booklet you pick up at an airport or tourist information. It depicts the venue in a neutral way for clients. Sorry. The chairs and painting would have made a nice photo though, see note. --Cart (talk) 06:13, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Cart, for your opinion. I agree with your note. Perhaps you're also right this photo could be found in a glossy booklet, the floor is glossy too, and that could make people think "wow, I want to stay there !" It's a simple picture, but I find it well balanced, with a lot of space, and two attractive armchairs. Tastefully decorated, it's an invitation to sit and to climb -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's a good photo to bring guests to the hotel, but it doesn't make the artistic part of my brain sit up and take notice. I'm sure you could have come up with some more creative angle if you had experimented a bit. The note is only an approximation. I follow Chen Man on Instagram and she always photographs the hotels she's staying in. She goes for the smaller details and crops of bigger structures that captures the essence of the hotel; it makes for good and interesting photos. --Cart (talk) 07:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Technically the lens is not adapted, and artistically the photographer is intrusive. This telephoto zoom lens is not made for interior shots. At f/4, the image is blurry because 1/40s handheld is too long. Canon sells fixed focal lenses specially designed for this kind of photography, like the 50mm f/1.4 for example, providing much better results with less noise and more sharpness in the same lighting conditions. Here the people are moving and the lady wearing glasses is really ghostly. The photographer is highly visible in the mirror and drawing attention of two other people in the foreground, becomes distracting. Not everybody care, but at least the lady in black and the bearded man seem to wonder "What's happening here with a camera ? Does one want my face in picture ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:54, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think the photographer is distracting here. He's well hidden behind his camera so you can't see his eyes or face, in this photo he's a nobody. Yes, people are aware they are being photographed, could probably have said something if they were uncomfortable about it and we would not see this photo here. It's not like the photographer is skulking with his mobile in a sly way. If you dress up for a night out today, you are aware that there are cameras everywhere. I also think that the wow and artistry overcomes all technical nitpicking here. It's an impressionist photo. For some strange reason we even create blurs of water or panning blur, but anything else moving is intolerable. --Cart (talk) 10:39, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The main subject of this photograph is the photographer. All the action is centered here, around this camera. "What's this photographer doing ?" is the main question coming before we understand there's a mirror behind. So "not distracting" and "well hidden" couldn't be more wrong, IMO.The fact that there are cameras everywhere today is absolutely not relevant to justify the intrusion here, and I wish these cameras can take better pictures . 6400 ISO is far too noisy, and in the context the level of blurriness suggests a drunk operator -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:38, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make assumptions about the state of the operator/photographer, keep it factual without personal attacks. You should know the rules better by now. --Cart (talk) 12:14, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I think this is an obvious feeling you normally have when you see a photographer taking part of the party and shooting among so many bottles. I'm not saying this is the reality and I don't "attack" anyone. I specified "in the context", since here the technical problem of this lens opening at f/4, creating noise & blur, gives this feeling. Even if the operator has only drunk water, that's the natural thought coming in mind unfortunately -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have a very active and vivid imagination, it makes for great photos but it can sometimes be less good when put into text on this forum. --Cart (talk) 13:02, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Doesn't work for me. Basile putting into words my thoughts better than I ever can. -- KTC (talk) 11:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Reducing this image to its technical shortcomings doesn't do it justice. Unlike most static architecture or landscape shots this scene can't be easily re-created. While most images that make it to FP are of outstanding technical quality, very few of them tell a story. And I think that's an achievement of its own right. At first I was opposed to the idea of the photographer being part of the image. On second thought Tomas' incidental self portrait helps the viewer to understand that the scence was taken against a mirror. I'd also like to point out that I wholeheartedly disagree with Basile's unnecessary personal attack. This kind of behaviour is unfitting of a frequent contributor to COM:FPC. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 13:08, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't understand the idea I explain, it's not complicated. Imagine a picture from a boat with the horizon tilted. What do you guess ? The photographer is sick or the boat induces this tilt ? The second solution probably. So that's the same here, except that the problem is created by the equipment -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:23, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I´m not sure about horizon alignment. It's too straight considering that the mountains in the distance seem actually to become higher from left to right.--Milseburg (talk) 19:13, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure about your comment, Milseburg, looking at the bottom half of the images buildings look fine. Do you expect more inclination of the horizon? should the left are be higher or lower? I haven't edited the image after the stitching --Poc o² 07:45, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would expect the horizon to increase from left to right in the distance with the mountains. At present, the distant mountains in the middle part of the picture appear at the same elevation as the lower mountains on the left. In this picture, the course of the horizon is more natural for me. On the other hand, in this one the horizon looks similary arched. --Milseburg (talk) 10:11, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I understand what you talk about now, Milseburg, but I don't believe that this is a problem. The image that you say looks good is a portion of the others and in that area the mountains in the back are actually higher that those being closer. But that does not apply (and it is consistent) to the mountains in the area over Signal hill and further to the left. I'm always willing to improve my pictures but to be honest I don't think there is any problem here. I checked other panoramic views from that spot in the Internet and I cannot see a problem comparing to this or this one. --Poc o² 14:50, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The "quality" of the other panos you mentioned are out of question, but a FP need a correct horizon. See here, how it is calculated by peakfinder. In comparison, the horizon in your pano is bent slightly down to the right. By the way it would be nice, if you could add the coordinates and direction of viewing to your image. --Milseburg (talk) 18:57, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

* Oppose for now. --Milseburg (talk) 11:34, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Milseburg yes, the horizon was not straight, or better said the image was tilted. I applied a 0,5 degree tilt. Not sure whether that mitigates your concerns. I also added metadata (template location), what do you mean with "direction of viewing"? which template do you use for that? --Poc o² 19:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Horizon looks natural now. Thank you for adding the coordinates. I think we see in your panorama in eastern directions. So you could add {{Location | -33.9359879 | 18.3898028 | heading: 90}} The number refers to the center of the image. With panoramas you always look in several directions. Therefore, it is good for a better comprehension also to specify the angle of the perspective in the description. Maybe others also expect the panorama template {{Panorama |1= |2=|3=}}. But my point was the horizon. Support now. I hope to be there someday and making photos too. --Milseburg (talk) 15:04, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for your feedback, Milseburg. I added the heading to the location template. --Poc o² 18:38, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support I wondered how long it would be after Wikimania before we started seeing pictures like this (I've uploaded some too, so far from the hotel roof). I'll reserve judgement on the horizon question, and it's wonderfully detailed; I think I can find my hotel (the other one, not the conference hotel).

Support I asked Tomas for some of his other photos and he delivered! :) Not an easy subject to shoot, the smoke is beautifully captured. Ok, the briquette in the foreground is a bit unsharp but that is forgiven since all the focus is on the smoke. The small graininess is very appropriate since smoke is minute particles and not something smooth and fluid. I'm a bit uncertain about the file name though, it doesn't sound like totally correct English to me, perhaps some native English speaker has a suggestion. -- Cart (talk) 13:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input Ikan, I wasn't sure if there was some sort of special expression connected with this, like "Firing up the grill" or "Starting the barbecue". --Cart (talk) 17:26, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Barbecue" is a controversial term, as it has a more specific meaning in the South and Midwest, but I think "starting the charcoal" may be an expression. I'm not sure, but it sounds OK to me. "Firing up the grill" is a good one, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, this isn't charcoal. They're briquettes. :P --Peulle (talk) 18:08, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even more technical: Charcoal compressed into briquettes. ;) Anyway, 'briquettes' is in the description and categories. In many languages we sloppily say coal or charcoal about anything resembling it. In Swedish we would call this Tända kolet på grillen literally "Light up the coal on the grill". So many colloquial ways of describing this male activity. (In Sweden at least the grill is 'male terretory'.) :) --Cart (talk) 18:48, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously Cart, what does the image advance in the way of culture, knowledge? It is beautifully exposed, but 35% of the image area is unusable. The great car is lost in a no contrast zone, it could have been moved to the front of the building to great effect. So besides good exposure in the afternoon, I really do not find any redeeming encyclopedic value. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:49, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Tomas, I'm very serious. Commons is a collection of all kind of pictures, not only encyclopedic ones. If you look at the rules on COM:FPC, you can see that is says: "7. Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project." That means that all sorts of beautiful, artistic and outstanding photos are very welcome here. I'm sure that a skilled photographer like you have plenty of photos that could come into consideration. I would love to see some of your non-encyclopedic photos nominated here. They will be preserved for all those Wikimedia Projects we have no idea about yet. Excellent encyclopedic photos are easy to take, non-encyclopedic are much harder, that is why we see so few of them here. As you can see, the rest of the voters know this and that is why so many users have voted for this. --Cart (talk) 19:04, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question Good thinking! Does this also apply to public health related photographs? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:46, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As long as it follows the rules of COM:PEOPLE. Health-related photos often include people and if they are identifiable, they should give their consent since such photos can be rather intrusive. --Cart (talk) 10:29, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, did you know that there is already a Wiki-project called Wikibooks? This is the sort of image that would make a beautiful book cover if someone made a book there about moods or any other subject that needs a calm classic blue hour photo. Or if Wikivoyage (a Wiki travel guide) needs a nice photo of this hotel. Only your imagination will set the limits for where a photo can be used. --Cart (talk) 19:28, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It occupies the eastern slopes of Primorsky ridge, the southern part of Olkhinsky plateau, the basin of the river. Great River (flows into the Angara River), and also about. Olkhon.

Oppose Clouds may not be blown, but they're close to it, and no less distracting all the same.

- I took this one when I did because of the shape of the clouds--I see a wave crashing over the lighthouse. But I see what you're saying and most people aren't going to see the same thing in the clouds that I do. I have a photo of a different lighthouse (taken on the same trip) which I think is more in line with the comments here (full sun, less clouds, no cropped people).

The wires are permanently attached and used for displaying banners during local festivities (like so). I wouldn't consider retouching them. I went for a slightly brighter exposure to compensate for the harsh midday sun. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 18:59, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - He looks like a tough and deeply aware and intelligent man in this photo. Good portrait, in my opinion, for what it captures, and worth a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:43, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral To me, this is a typical case of how some images "speaks" differently to different people. I'm European and so I don't have the same relationship with this individual as I have with European politicians. To me, this is "just" a portrait of "some guy". However, India is a vast country and this image will probably "speak" differently to people who have a closer relationship with the region.--Peulle (talk) 08:07, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I didn't know who he was until I looked up his Wikipedia article. His name was vaguely familiar to me, since he's a former President of India. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:17, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Definitely a QI, but as far as FP status goes, it doesn't stand out from other portraits we've had here. In the good ones I feel that the subject is looking into me or I can look into them; here I just feel like it's his ID photo and the company has hired someone really good to make these.

Info Unusual angle of such a large boat at good speed, makes for clean background. Beautiful and well maintained boat. I love the kids, they kind of remind me of the "wee rascals" in the movie Brave. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 06:17, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination denied. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines because only two active nominations per user are allowed.

Comment Maybe withdraw one of the others to nominate this - I might support it, nice imho. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 14:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment ... alternatively, just wait until the other noms have expired and then nominate this one instead of pushing all the images like crazy...? :P --Peulle (talk) 14:57, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Peulle: I might wait for one of the others nominations to expire or withdraw later if one of the other nominations is not doing well. Pkbwcgs (talk) 15:45, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good quality, but I don't see what makes this picture one of our finest. I could understand it if the resolution would be wild (something like 50 MPx) or the stained glass exceptional (historic value or something like that), but it isn't the case, sorry Poc o² 20:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
