Oppose Agree with Alvesgaspar -- Simonizer 15:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment obviously a scan. The resolution is too high for the film grain of the original. But the grain should be considered in relation to the image size. Downsampling would increase percieved quality considerably. So the pic is fine by me. Not ok is the signature on the picture, those are strongly discouraged! --Dschwen 15:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Irrelevant as they are only background and not central subject of the image. --Dschwen 16:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the picture as it brings back memories of my Tokyo days, but not sure how this could be used. If it's an article on kimonos, you could probably find better samples, and if it's about Shibuya, I can think of other images which would show the more typical aspect of that Tokyo district, like the Shibuya crossing, or the Spanish steps for example. I do like the image though so I'll support it. Jnpet 18:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like this photograph due to its composition and athmosphere, but there are some aspects that let me oppose: 1. duration of exposure causes motion blur on the people 2. noise in the shadow of the car and on the covered (left) front wheel (why only there?) 3. strange green glow around the left front wheel. norro 19:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at the flickr source page. The image is released under CC-2.0, therefore appropriate licensing. norro 14:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This seems to bee a tone-mapped HDR image, composed from several (2?) bracketed exposures. So it is not blur you on the people but multiple exposure. I seriously doubt this effect is desired, but is is hard to avoid with this technique. A solution would be taking several shots at each exposure and combine them with manual masking to remove all moving objects and people. --Dschwen 12:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ This picture was rejected last month in the English WP FP candidates due to distortion and stitching errors.

The missing square puzzle - not featured[edit]

Info This is a simpler variation of the missing square paradox, popularized by Sam Loyd and Martin Gardner. I made this puzzle more than twenty years ago (in wood) and haven’t found till now any written reference to it. However, and because its principle is quite simple, I believe it might be hidden is some 19th century puzzle book. The aim of this animation is to deceive and puzzle the reader, not to explain the apparent paradox. That way, maybe he/her will become interested in the full explanation.

Oppose License is not ok. DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH OTHERS! -- Simonizer 08:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Info I'm afraid I don't agree with Simoniser.. The wording you have quoted is from the standard web-site licence terms, which presumably you found by clicking on the 'view image license' link below the photo on http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=270109. But these terms explicitly say the "All Images on the Website are copyrighted and they are the properties of SXC or its Image providers." (my emphasis). In this case, copyright lies with the photographer, Martin van Triest, not the owners of the website to which the image has been uploaded. And the photographer has explictly stated that "There are no usage restrictions for this photo": in other words, that he has released it into the public domain. The quoted words simply do not apply. --MichaelMaggs 10:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Info OK, on reconsideration, maybe things aren't necessarily as clear as I suggested above. One possible interpretation is that the words "There are no usage restrictions for this photo" should be read as a statement by the photographer that he is reserving no additional rights over and above what is stated by the standard web-site licence. To be on the safe side, the photographer should be contacted to indicate his intentions. I haven't done that as it requires registration on the SXC site. --MichaelMaggs 11:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't question the freedom of use of this image but only the terms of the licence: "I, the author of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide". Since the image was not uploaded by its author (who probably doesn't even know), the text seems inappropriate. - Alvesgaspar 12:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Wow, I wasn't expecting this to be nominated! And I uploaded it just a few hours ago! Anyway, since this is now a FP canditate, then I guess we do need it at a larger size. It is now 450px wide (that should be enough), and the "photons" are a bit smaller too. I don't want them too small, otherwise the rainbow effect won't be very effective. — Kieff | Kieff_Wikipedia | Talk 05:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Another suggestion: the stream of "photons" should be continuous from the begining of the animation, the feeling of motion wouldn't be lost. - Alvesgaspar 11:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done. Purge your browser caches. I also made it 700px wide, the photons slower and even smaller. The file is actually smaller now as well, I just needed 8 frames for the animation. — Kieff | Kieff_Wikipedia | Talk 17:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  - Not at all, I still have the code, it's just a matter of changing the parameters :) ... I actually did this (and several other animations for Wikipedia) using mIRC. I love how it's so easy and quick to code graphics ("picture windows") on it, so I use it all the time. I won't be releasing the code, though. Can't be bothered to clean it up and write a documentation for it :P ...

Oppose I really, really like this illustration since it is very nice and clear, but I have to oppose due to physical reasons. Let me explain:
1. The dots indicate that light consists of particles, which is not right. Light is electromagnetic radiation (although there is the w:Wave–particle_duality). I would like to see waves behind all the dots or even just waves.
2. The dots (indicating the light) move with different speed inside the prism, but the speed of electromagnetic radiation does not depend on the frequency/wavelengths.
I'm not a physicist, but this is my state of knowledge as electrical engineer. Probably most of wikipedia users won't recognise that, but I think that featured pictures should be absolutely correct. I will love supporting, if this is done. norro 18:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, that's why I called it conceptual. It's not meant to be entirely accurate, it's just a simple model to explain a certain concept. Like I've stated before, my goal was to show how different wavelengths (colors) of light behave as they travel through a medium, and how that's related to the phenomenon of refraction and dispersion. The dots serve this purpose pretty well, I think. I understand it can be misleading, but if this image is used in an article, and if it has a decent explanation on the image page (gonna work on that now), it should be enough to avoid most of that misconception. I could (and I will) make a similar version involving little waves, but I'll have to find some time for that one, since it'd be a bit more complicated. Also, light DOES slowdown when travelling through a medium, and the shorter the wavelength, the slower it will travel. The only place where light (of any wavelength) travels always at the same speed is in vacuum. Things can travel faster than light in a medium, though, and that's where Cherenkov radiation comes from. But back to the model, you can see that once the "photons" leave the prism to the black vacuum, their speeds are once again the same, so the model is correct in that aspect as well. — Kieff | Kieff_Wikipedia | Talk 21:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Also, see the alternate image posted here. Nothing against it or anything, but I must admit, I think it conveys little information about dispersion except the fact that it happens! There are little clues in the angle of light while it is inside the prism (though it gets wrong on the exit), but you just can't expect someone to look at it and understand what's going on, especially if the person isn't already familiarized with refraction and dispersion. For all educational purposes, it's just as good as a static image. This is what I was trying to avoid. I wanted something to show, conceptually, what goes inside the prism, and for that I needed individual parts moving, so I picked dots (mainly because it was easier to understand and follow - as well as code! - but also because I thought it would work reasonably well.) It works, but it is not entirely accurate. But again, isn't that how it usually goes? We always use simplified and inaccurate scientific models in order to teach people new concepts (Newtonian physics and gravity instead of General Relativity, frictionless systems, point masses and charges, electrons as particles in orbit, etc.)... I believe that as long as we make the inaccuracy clear, we shouldn't have a problem with them. I think this applies to this image. We teach a concept, and we filter out the inaccuracies later on with a more in-depth explanation. Anyway, I'll try making a version with little waves, but I don't think complaining about inaccuracy is a valid point against the model. It's nothing a bit more of insight can't fix, and by then the model will have done its purpose, and it would have done it well enough. — Kieff | Kieff_Wikipedia | Talk 22:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What causes the dispersion of light in the prism is precisely the fact that different wavelengths have different refraction angles, due to small differences in phase velocity. Alvesgaspar 20:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose If I were to judge the mere beauty: Sure, the colors are nice, the idea with the dark background is both helpful and pretty. But I'm distracted by the little "dots", similarly to Norro. It's not that this picture is inaccurate in terms of "too rough", but inaccurate in terms of "abstracting into the wrong direction": If I see light, I don't see dots. If a model shows me dots, this is novel information that should be accurate (and meaningful). Looking forward to the wave version, Ibn Battuta 05:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose ack Lycaon -- Simonizer 14:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think the picture is noisy, cf. for instance the upper part of the fence in high resolution;

as for the dots: I've now seen two truly tiny dots that *I*'d guess are flaws (one in front of the fence between the horse's legs, and one in front of the horse's right hind leg)--unfortunately, I don't have time and/or knowledge to remove them myself; let me know if there's any forum of the commons where I can find help for issues like this

out of focus: At least *I* can't see that--looks like only the background and the horse's legs aren't perfectly in focus, the latter gives just a hint that the horse is moving (which for me makes the picture interesting; but that's my POV of course); well, and then there's the dust of course, which also belongs. --Ibn Battuta 15:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose --medium69 22:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose strongly. I really can see the odd rectangular bands even at low resolution! This is not just contrasts on their borders, but really a bad adaptation of the camara filter when it creates the JPEG. The camera certainly has a bug in its compression algorithm, or it is your software which uses very cheap conversion/compression algorithms with poor quality! For such noisy image, you really need an excellent edit software with state of the art programming of filters. Most of the defacts don't seen to come from the lense or sensor, but really from bad numeric handling after the shot! Verdy p 01:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I see that you have used PhotoShop 7.0 to edit the original. I suggest you restart the edit from the original, using a better quality software, and that you use the filters consistantly instead of using it by bands. This may require more memory in your system to compute the filters without using sub-bands. If you don't know how to do it yourself, reload your original here under the same name, and ask to someone if he can perform the corrections for you.
- Note: white dots between the legs near the fence are not bugs. This is really true sand spread by the walk of the horse (evident at high resolution). But the very visible bands in the grass in the background are really a severe defect(or incorrect use of your edit software). Verdy p 01:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Size should be at least 2000x1000 pixels, unless there were strong mitigating reasons, like it was an unique event and/or the picture was highly spectacular. In fact, here we see a news event -activist in a transgenic corn field. Unique? It doesn't happen everyday, and may not be widely anounced, but actions like this have been comitted several times. Composition is not the most spectacular -I understand the author didn't want to publish the face of someone committing an act that may be considered ilegal.

Support Nice and informative (fogs are ground-level clouds, this picture shows both of the fog and the cloud perspective). -- Nl74 08:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I strongly suggest you keep the building as a feature that animates the image and gives a field depth to the image. The edit makes all the image too smooth with any contour for the eye, that's why it seems so boring: without it, you can't fix your eye to feel the light atmosphere, and you can't perceive the subtle color differences. Note also that white balancing is a bit strange (too much bluish, i.e. the white temperature is too high; this makes the greens too much grey, and it fades out all the colors). if you don't want colors, then use pure monochromatic grey images! Verdy p 02:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Also the composition is bad: too much white shy on top (it's probably better to crop a significant part of it). Not enough subject at the bottom.[reply]

Comment Sorry, this is not a spectrum but a depiction of absorption lines in the light coming form the Sun. Either we like it aesthetically or not but no exact information can be taken from the image alone (there is no frequency scale), and the text doesn't explain the meaning of the absorption lines. Alvesgaspar 00:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't know how it's called in English, but in Polish it's spectrum of absorbtion. This image is enough for qualitative analisys of this physical phenomenon. --WarX 18:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The scale is not needed; it is clearly explained at the NOAO source from which the image comes (it's about 70 nanometres per band). This image is generated from numeric data, it's not a photograph. You can ask any size to NOAO which will compute the image from their data. The only bad thing is that i's in JPEG format, so this creates artefacts when seen at its maximum resolution. The image would be much better in PNG format (because applying any filter to it would be completely inappropriate! unfortunately the JPEG format is itself a low-band pass filter within each 8x8 cell, and not so cute to see). The NOAO certainly has much better data but keeps it for its sales or scientific research exchanges, this image is just a demo of what they have. Verdy p 01:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The old image will be deleted later by some admin, once all references to it have been resolved. (Note that this discussion page contains 1 reference which will need to be edited to show the new name).

It's hard to say why I voted against your photo, which is not so bad although. I think that the car at the first line is a very little to much facing us, it may have been better to see a little more the side of the car (side of the car is in the shadow). I also think that the light on the bottom left of the image is a little too high, the eye is disturbed by it. Maybe you should darken it a little to see if it is better. --Alipho 21:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    - There's a big difference between those pictures and the picture in question. The picture in question is the absolute best depiction of the microphone itself. It would be suitable for use in a technical article. The pictures you linked are very noisy and have distracting backgrounds. I just don't see how they could be used. If they were to identify the act of performing, then the focus on the microphone is very strange, and if they are actually supposed to just identify the microphone, well, they add too many other distractions. --Cyde Weys 19:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I think it is unfortunate that you think that way.. Because anything less 'documentary' and more 'artistic' would be less good for our educational purposes. Substantial work was required in the creation of this image, for example I welded a custom mount which extended out of the backdrop and attached safely to this expensive and heavy instrument to avoid the requirement of photoshopping out the background, and I am a little saddened that commons will only honor my work if I make it less professional, less informative, and less accurate with things like overblown saturation, bizarre angles which would hide the keywork or misrepresent the proportions, etc. I'm glad that I'm motivated by the benefit to our projects rather than by featured status, and I hope for our future that more of our contributors will adopt my indifference. --Gmaxwell 23:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But anyway the image is impressive. - Did you edit it to crop some parts of the background? I have the feeling that some parts of the instrument were cropped too tightly (because the rounded border should have a tangential smoothing near these borders. it gives me the feeling that on some places, the border was cropped 1 or 2 pixels inside, and in other areas, we see some pixels from the background. This may have been caused by editing and filtering. Anyway this image is good. -- Verdy p 01:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with tsca, especially on many your images descriptive labels creates very large empty margins around core image, what reduces readability of it :( --WarX 11:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- for someone that sugest having no text at all readability shouldnt be your concern. the point here is that diagrams are there to explain a subject. and without text or labels diagrams become useless. i do not upload "nice drawings" to wikipedia. i do diagrams WITH labels. i make them svg so the labels can be adapted to any use. but i honestly think that a diagram without labels at all is useless.-LadyofHats 19:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't say you should remove labels, but would be nice if you put numbers not texts, especially when you put texts in very bad places. If I had monitor with 150 DPI your images 'as is' would be great, but on standard display (wikis optimized for 1024x768) on your images text labels because of their placement eat to much space and images are hard to read.--WarX 19:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Dschwen. Diagrams and maps should usually contain text, and if they do, then they will be language-centric. Some folks will publish these maps and diagrams in multiple languages (as I see the Lady of Hats has done on occasion). If the diagrams/maps are published in SVG, then the text can be edited. "En-centric" is hardly a reason to oppose this fine diagram (my only concern is that the text is not large enough). MapMaster 22:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Great resolution, but the the rendering is not exceptional or hard to accomplish -- Simonizer 11:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The improved version is uploading right now, dealing with texture & additional insulation. I must admit I am an electric engineer, not a graphic designer. The complexity of design is hidden behind the fact that the design is general, and the connectors must work for any number of primary or secondary windings and layers of windings, (and any intersection of windings will prove that they are truly wound from connector to connector, not just simulated). Doing this in a general way was tricky. When I learn to do that in a nicer way, the result will be better for sure. Your comments were helpful, and any ideas on better texture selection for connectors and insulation would be most welcome.

Neutral My first impression was: Wow, a clean, beautiful illustration. And even that's the problem - I can't support a beautiful image of a mine.

Support v2 only. We're near from the minimum size of 1800x1200px but it's enough with it; as rotation creates artefact, it's best to reduce a little the image anyway by a factor not exceeding half the cosine of the rotation angle to avoid those artefacts; the low-band filter must be precisely adjusted for such rescaling after rotation, but unfortunately this was respected so the dark borders of the wood remains are a bit blurred on the background see or sky. This is not dramatic because the rotation angle was not very important. For such images, it's best to be prepared with a support for the camera, and a precise vertical adjustment of the support. And of course the time of shot must be carefully chosen and must not be missed! It's sometimes a matter of a few seconds. Verdy p 01:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - over-saturated colours (see guidelines above, "Over saturated colours are not good"). I've seen plenty of similar rusty bolts (often in similar situations of seawater corrosion), and they're never such a lurid bright orange and purple. - MPF 12:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yes there are some solitaire oversaturated pixels in the reds channel. But oversaturation or overexposure usually means connected areas of oversaturation which is not the case here. There is detail in every part of the bolt. --Ikiwaner 06:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - is it technically even a carpet at all? In its present situation, it is a curtain or a wall-hanging. It has to be laid horizontally, on a floor, to be called a carpet. - MPF 12:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You can hang carpets also on the wall. This is called a tapestry then. In museums even normal carpets are often put to the wall because then they are better visible for the visitors, and can be better protected against dirt and other things. --Simonizer 13:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
