OK, fixed. --Yann (talk) 08:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The background is too large. This framing is not working for me. A lot should be cut IMO. There's also a white halo on the right side of her face, visible at thumb size -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:05, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see the white halo now, and unfortunately, I can't unsee it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:44, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Basile Morin and Ikan Kekek: That's a very minor issue IMO, I don't even know how to fix it, or even if it needs to be fixed, but I welcome anyone who wants to try. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:00, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for this halo is certainly because the author made a local correction using the selective brush on Lightroom. Probably the face was too dark, or not contrasted enough. Now fixing this issue without the RAW file is not as easy as it seems. It can be done quickly and superficially on Photoshop, but for a clean correction totally invisible at full size, it takes a while IMO. Not sure I'll have the time to handle this in the next days. But if someone else do that I would suggest to upload the new file under a square format not much bigger than the size of the head -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:50, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I like to have head room in a portrait like this. Thanks for offering your help. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:54, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, please respect that this is the artistic creation of Bill Hamway. While legally the CC0 declaration lets you do what you want with it, morally it is no longer Hamway's image if you start mucking about with crops and selective brushes. FWIW, I think the space is room to think. If you really like the image but think it could be improved then when don't you try contacting the guy and chat to him about it. Sometimes a halo forms due to the tonemapping adjustments in Lightroom, so that's another possibility as well as local adjustment. I'd much rather we feature (or not feature) Hamway's work, than something altered without his permission. -- Colin (talk) 17:59, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very much regretful oppose per Lothar. Yes, we are looking up at the tower, but in real life the buildings on the sides wouldn't be in imminent danger of collapse. I can accept some tilt in the name of not distorting the image so much, but not this much. Daniel Case (talk) 05:45, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrt @Spurzem, Ikan Kekek, and Daniel Case: this is what Daniel refers to "real life". This isn't camera distortion; it is what you see when you look up. You don't pay much attention to it and the edges of your vision are kinda blurry, but the verticals converge in reality too (just as parallels on the ground converge when you look down a road or railway track into the distance). The difference is that this entire scene is captured and frozen with the camera looking up at the capsule, whereas if you were standing there, as you looked at the distant buildings, your gaze would shift to a more level viewing direction, and they'd no longer slope. And as you gazed up and down the pillars, in 3D, shifting focus all the time, your brain would be constantly saying to you "It's ok, these are actually straight up and down". And since your retina is curved, your brain is constantly straightening out those bent lines your eye produces. A more representative equivalent to reality would be one of those 360° viewers that let you shift your gaze around a sphere, and where the edges of the frame are wonky but but straighten out as you shift them to the centre of the viewport. The perspective here is correct. It is the perspective one gets standing on the beach looking up at the capsule.

We may be trained that buildings should be rendered in 2D with parallel vertical lines, but that is only an approximation to reality, and only looks realistic if the vertical angle of view is modest -- which is best achieved from a distance and from a height. The only way you will get a correct perspective of this scene, with verticals going straight up your monitor screen, and the capsule faithfully rendered how the eye sees it, is if Arild bought a drone and took the photo at height and some way out to sea. The vertical angle-of-view here is simply too great for the standard rectilinear perspective to look "normal" (remember that nearly half the vertical angle of view, when standing on the beach, is "wasted" going into the sand). The effect of "correcting" the verticals does weird things to the base of the capsule and it starts looking like it is tilted 45°. We sometimes see this when Diliff includes too much ceiling in one of his cathedral interiors, and round discs on the ceiling end up looking like they are angled and heavily distorted. The "corrected" version looks like computer generated art by someone who hasn't yet grasped how perspective and viewpoint works. Please just oppose because you don't like it, that you wish it had been photographed from further back and further up, and stop trying to claim the laws of physics need fixing. -- Colin (talk) 08:51, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I stated my case above, and I didn't mention physics once. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:54, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not really 'what you see when you look up'. Most of us have binocular vision. Charles (talk) 10:46, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charles, binocular vision makes no different to the vertical field of view, or to how parallels converge with distance. If your point is that our eyes move about as we gaze on different parts of the scene, then yes, that is a difference from a wide angle still picture on your monitor. It doesn't change the fact that verticals converge when you look up from the ground near a tall building. -- Colin (talk) 11:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan, you agreed with Lothar, that it "needs perspective correction", which implies the perspective is wrong, faulty, and could be fixed. Let's imagine a standard architectural perspective taken from this viewpoint on the sand. According to Google Maps, Aldrid is 50m from the base of the i360, which is 162m tall. If we pretend Aldrid is 2m tall and holding the camera to his eye, then we have a right-angled triangle 50m base and 160m tall with an angle of 73° at the camera. To get the vertical angle-of-view, we double that. So 146°. The widest ever rectilinear lens is 126° diagonal angle-of-view, much less vertically. Anything above 100° is heavily distorted. It is not "correct". Compared to 73°, the maximum the human eye can see above the horizontal, if looking straight ahead, is about 50° but that isn't even clear or in colour. We can only see in colour up about 25° and much less than that clearly. Any human standing here, hoping to see the top of the i360, is looking up with their head tilted back. Demanding a standard architectural perspective with a vertical field of view of 146° is just crazy man. The only fix that can be done here, to get the kind of image some prefer/want, is to get much much further back and ideally about 80m up in the sky. -- Colin (talk) 11:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As an example of a standard architectural photo, File:Mount Stuart House 2018-08-25.jpg is I believe about 25m tall and I was 160m distant when photographing it. So the vertical angle of view of that photo is more like 20°. -- Colin (talk) 11:30, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here's how the BBC reported the i360 -- a "Getty Images" picture taken from even closer with even more sloping verticals. Brighton's own paper here -- with a "Press Association" image taken from even closer to the ground. And in today's Guardian newspaper, this photo of the Houses of Parliament with gloriously sloping verticals. Taken by Andy Rain, chief regional photographer for the European Press Agency. Guess we should ping him an email about his newbie mistake. -- Colin (talk) 13:31, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What I said is that I prefer the "corrected" version. I simply like it better, although I'm not sure I'd vote to feature it, if nominated. And I find this degree of slant to the buildings strange to look at. It's an aesthetic reaction. It's totally fine to disagree with it, as you do, and obviously, there are other professional photographers who do, but that's what it is. No weighty principles are involved on my end. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:40, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan thanks for the explanation, and I agree with your usage here: that when the photographer is closer to the subject than the subject is tall, then "correction" should be used within quote marks. -- Colin (talk) 10:02, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but maybe that means that in my opinion, an FP from this angle might not be possible. And if so, it wouldn't be the first time a particular view of a particular motif were deemed not to be featurable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:10, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well much of composition is finding the correct position from which to take a photograph, so not surprising that many positions aren't regarded as ideal or best. My argument has simply been that if you don't like the results here, the solution is only to re-take it from much further back (and perhaps higher up). It can't be made "correct" in software; the laws of physics and mathematics don't allow it. -- Colin (talk) 19:20, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In a perfect world it wouldn't be, but in nations that either have no FoP provisions (France) or exempt public artworks (the USA), any arrangement of lights, even those that stay still, is as surely a three-dimensional work of art as a sculpture or statue, or the Eiffel Tower's nighttime lighting.

I find this question of copyright interesting, as it's true all the subject of the photograph is here. Apart from these lights, the picture has nothing really special.

The illumination of the Eiffel Tower is clearly under copyright (the society earned 1 million euros in 2002 from these), but I could not find texts nor articles on the web in French related to this kind of protection for other monuments or structures. On the contrary, it seems that similar Christmas decorations in Paris are accepted and widespread on Commons. Thus I don't see any problem with this picture, until some specific references are given -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:55, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the light of the Eiffel Tower which is protected, but a light show, which included video and fireworks. There is no copyright on light, and any simple decoration. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:07, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is the light of the Eiffel Tower, which is protected. Since 1985. Today you want to take the picture of the Eiffel Tower by night, you have to pay for the rights (source, in French : "Ces éclairages sont considérés comme une création de forme originale et sont donc protégés par le droit d’auteur.") Greetings -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:49, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what the court decision says: Category:Eiffel Tower at night. Yann (talk) 11:28, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which court decision are you talking about ? The text says there has never been a court. Also says "The Société d'exploitation de la tour Eiffel (SETE) states that the various illuminations of the tower are trademarked and claims that they are under copyright". Same than the blog linked above and written by lawyers. Read also the section The Eiffel Tower Copyright from the article Do Night Photos of the Eiffel Tower Violate Copyright ? : "The artistic lighting is not in the public domain". And in the section The Practical Side of Copyright Protection : "Having a copyright does not require that an artist enforce it. The rights can be used in any way the artist wishes." Never any court decision. But not a good idea to start to infringe. However, for this picture here nominated, I don't think these illuminations are protected like the Eiffel Tower -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:09, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info Library of Congress scans have a lot of ambiguity as to colour balance - this is fairly well-known, unfortunately. As such, I balanced it against actual photos of the college. I think this is an excellent historical image, near enough to the time period of the college's founding to be meaningful, though, as a photochrom - a secondarily coloured black and white image - there's a tradeoff between the historic value and the inherent flaws of the medium, and there are certain inaccuracies that result. This is, however, by and large, excellently done. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:14, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- @Ikan Kekek: That's for modern additions; it's generally bad practice to remove things from hundred plus year artworks that have been part of them throughout, unless there's a good reason to do so. It's part of the historical artefact. In fact such things are explicitly permitted in Commons:Watermarks#What_are_not_watermarks Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:29, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I'm happy to support. I may have missed it, but I don't actually see this specific kind of case referenced in "What are not watermarks". It would be good to have somewhat more specificity in how old a photo has to be for captions or other writing on the photo to be OK under this site's guidelines. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Yeah, there's a rather massive "etcetera" in there, which could be a lot more helpful. It does say "captions and signatures on historic plates" - which this is quite close to, a caption on a historic print that (by the very nature of the medium) only exists in print form.

Info It's probably worth mentioning here that the photographer's stamp was - at a guess - an actual stamp in this case. Hence it being placed in a location where the inclusion of it severely hurt the composition of the image. I don't like removing such things (hence why a with-stamp alternative exists) , but I think, for useability, this version is easily superior, and it's not so much of a loss as to justify keeping it.

The photo were taken with a tripod and the built-in level of the camera set horizontally. There is likely nothing to fix. Furthermore riverbanks have not to be horizontal when they are taken in perspective (the far left it at 1.6km, the far right is a 2,1km), the true horizontal level is the line sky/landscape, and nothing shocks me in this line. Though I will not be surprised to see one or two of the habitual opposers take this opportunity. Long live democracy, have fun. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 18:37, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What complete irresponsible nonsense Photographer. You have no idea what you are talking about. Charles (talk) 10:59, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An animal will not enjoy being lit up by a close bright light. Chameleons are mainly sensitive to light, which is used to change color. A powerful source of light could blind him momentarily, making him an easy target for other predators. --Photographer 03:05, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Simply not true. Chamelons use brain impulses to change colour, it is nothing to do with light shining on them. A flash would momentariy blind it, as it would with any animal (including humans) but the presence of a photographer will guarantee that there are no predators anywhere near. Please remove your oppose vote or justify it without misleading the community. You may have forgotten that you supported this nomination in 2015. A close-up photo of a reptile illuminated with flash. Charles (talk) 10:57, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your opinion, however, it is only circumstantial evidence. Please, do not take this personally, let's hope that some documented evidence can be presented. BTW [1] --Photographer 00:30, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I do take it personally. Very personally. For you Photographer to accuse me of threatening the life of an endangered animal is libel and should be subject to sanctions. I seek support from other contributors on the talk page. As for your assertion of circumstantial evidence on colour change, I refer you to Glaw and Vences, the key reference is most chameleon articles. They write that changes in colour result from the chameleon's "hormonal and emotional state". There are 148 photographs of chameleons in the 3rd edition of their book. About 138 are taken using close-up flash. Charles (talk) 09:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yann the NASA page says the image was "from an airplane on October 12, 2007" and the EXIF says it was a Canon EOS 30D that took it. The EXIF doesn't indicate this is a stitched image so I think the NASA webpage has upsized the 8.2MP image to 24MP. It should really be 3504 × 2336. I would probably support this, but reluctant to support an upsized JPG. -- Colin (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colin is right about the effect of the harsher lighting, and despite a more natural space for it it's still a very busy, very ambitious composition that nevertheless leaves a few awkward crops. Not as bad in that department as the other one, but still impossible to look past. And I also wonder what, exactly, is going on the upper left.

Info Freezing rain in Quebec city. All by -- Photographer 17:39, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looking over the image with my magnifying glass (drawing rectangles with IrfanView at 100%) I see quite a number of buildings with significant tilt. I know lamp posts are notorious for not being vertically true, but all the nearby ones are tilted. The very furthest left building has a noticeable tilt if you look at the corner edge. On the right, the factory/port (?) building towers are leaning. The spikes on the central tower appear very slightly leaning. There are lots of other examples if you try to find such edges. So I think you need to add many more vertical control points. I won't oppose, even with these errors, as the light is lovely and composition very good. It is a shame about the scaffolding and white sheeting, though I suppose they could have used blue sheeting which would be worse. Shame there is nobody on the nearby seats enjoying the view with us. Do we have a similar FP or past candidate? It looks familiar? -- Colin ( talk) 18:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Colin as usual, your comments are very accurate. I had noticed that vertical problem, however, sometimes I do not know if these houses, because they are 1600-1700, are somewhat deformed. Anyway, I have corrected based on your comments (however, there should be a way to not correct anything at hand, that way it could be a representation of reality without alteration). This year at WLM Canada, my winning photo is similar to this, it is possibly the most beautiful view of Quebec that can be accessed without a car. There are things that I miss from Latin America such as garbage and imperfections, poor people in the street and general decadence that does not exist here. Please, take a look and tell me if it is ok. Thanks --Photographer 23:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm not as bothered by the look, which while it does seem rather, uh, refined (with two light sources, was a half-second exposure really so necessary? But you do you ...) is at least borderline natural (to me).

Oppose - Nice picture, but I'm sorry, it doesn't feel like an FP composition to me. I think the issue is that I don't perceive any framing on the left and right. I do like the branches being in front. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:33, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Composition doesn't impress, not when we have so many other pictures of forests in winter under blue skies, and even if it did the contrast is not well handled, as the snow on the trees near the top is seriously blown. Daniel Case (talk) 05:29, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Great picture. I'm unfamiliar with this sport, so I looked it up on YouTube to confirm that this man has not in fact had an accident. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:18, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yes, this is speedway and the athletes really are leaning this much, thanks to the very high speed and extreme centrifugal forces. The huge spikes in the tires give enough grip to make this lean possible. The fact that the rider is also moving through a curve at very high speed means the subject is difficult to capture, but it has succeeded here.--Peulle (talk) 12:56, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CommentThanks for comments.

Support - Really good abstract composition. If this is not the kind of file that should be on Commons, I think that needs to be clarified.

@Daniel: I've reduced the light. --Hockei (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info It was not possible to take this picture without using flash. The place was very dark where hardly any sunlight came through. And besides, the crayfish was on the run (in motion). Aside from that, it was a very rare opportunity to photograph this animal. I never saw it before. --Hockei (talk) 18:35, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This great capture could be FP, but not by FPC custom and practice. Rarity is not considered unfortunately. Charles (talk) 10:25, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think it's considered somewhat, but crawfish aren't rare. Maybe this particular type is rare, but does it look so different from other crawfish? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:09, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info To take the photo was a very rare opportunity, not the crawfish itself. It's introduced from America and in Germany (Europe) very invasive. --Hockei (talk) 12:23, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Daniel although I understand Hockei's arguments. BTW, if the species is invasive, soon it won't be so rare to shoot it in Germany --Basotxerri (talk) 15:01, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I just don't find this outstanding, compared to other FP animal pictures. There are few photos of this species of crawfish on Commons, but that doesn't seem to be from rarity, as the species is described as "Least Concern" at w:Signal crayfish.

Info You wouldn't think there is actually a photograph of the victor of the battle of Waterloo, would you? Yes, I know the quality is pretty crummy compared to modern images, but this daguerreotype is actually a photograph of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, taken as early as 1844. When this was taken, telephones and cars did not exist, California was still part of Mexico, Italy and Germany were still not countries proper and dynamite had not yet been invented. That's enough wow factor for me.

And Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, had passencore rearrived from North Armorica, either. Daniel Case (talk) 04:28, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I think this is a downright interesting picture, and also (unintentionally on their part?) funny. I don't know how the men see with their caps pulled down over their eyes, and it's funny to see a fluffy goat with long horns with a kind of uniform draped over his back. The composition is good and refreshingly spacious.

Oppose Tilt and need verticals fix, incomplet EXIF information and small for the source camera sensor --Photographer 02:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Photographer Thanks for the vote. I uploaded a new version with all metadata. I leveled it out a tiny bit, it's probably better. It's tricky though. The stone that the building is made out of is quite rough and I had troubles to make everything looking straight in other photos of the parliament, too. I believe it's straight enough - as soon as I find something leaning slightly left, straight afterwards I'd find something else leaning right. My camera has 20.2 megapixels, the image has 9.4. Roughly half is not too bad I think considering heavy perspective fix and a crop. I couldn't go any further and use a different lens because there is a parking lot with cars, plants and a water fountain that would block the view.

Comment Frame cropped. --Palauenc05 (talk) 21:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A little bit better, but I would suggest to remove completely this background, which is not part of the document, exactly like the other versions linked on the file page, and the similar historical works in the same category. Sorry if my comment was not clear, here's the cropped version I had in mind, and that you can use if you like. I think the aspect is more natural like that, and adapted to any background color. Kind regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for reviewing, however I prefer the version as it is now. IMO the small frame is important to clearly recognize the original rim of the document, so that it cannot be the detail of a larger paper. --Palauenc05 (talk) 16:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The problem of this border is it is confusing with the other heavy lines integrated in the document. It is redundant and gives the feeling of belonging to the artwork. The rim is perfectly identifiable without the frame, more natural and much more aesthetic also -- Basile Morin (talk) 18:41, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Small correction. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go for an even more aggressive crop (i.e. the top edge should touch the cloud in the center). What I really like about this image is that at its heart it's just a simple interplay of colors: green in the foreground, yellow/brown in the middle ground, and blue in the background. I think it would really help if the amount of blue were roughly the same as the amount of green, and right now the composition still feels unbalanced. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:23, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - So many great Alpine pictures have been nominated here, and doubtless, quite a large number remain. I don't think this is one of them. I think that there's too much grass in the foreground and too much blue sky in the upper right. The result is that to my mind, the picture is merely good, not exceptional in either composition or scenery. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's more about the subject than the time; a photo from the current century can be historic if it depicts a historic event, as we can see here. In this context, it's a no. There is nothing "historical" about this photo, IMO.--Peulle (talk) 14:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree that it's only the subject. Would you feature an Ansel Adams photo of a subject for which we also have huge stitched digital photographs? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:58, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But the fact of the matter is, an Ansel Adams large format photo *is* high-quality even by the standards of today. Higher, in fact, than the majority of FPs we promote here - basically it will beat out any single-frame 35mm DSLR image, even with a D850. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I take your points. This is mostly a devil's advocate argument. Notice that I haven't voted to keep this photo an FP. But I do think that some of the early digital photos probably should be kept as FPs in some category of early digital photos, as among the best examples of their time, although they fall short for a current nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very lovely. Regarding the colors, there's no such thing as "true colors" since white balance must be set, and that is an artistic decision. That said, I think we have a rather wide tolerance for WB during the blue hour (though this is definitely on the blue side of things), since you're not trying to match what your eyes saw anyways. I've found that the optimal time for viewing a blue hour scene with the naked eye is often not the same as the optimal time for photographing it, which comes about 5-10 minutes later for me. By that time the sky already appears dark blue to me and the we only get the rich blues we see in photos by pushing the shadows in post, so it can only be an approximation of reality. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:47, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Aristeas (talk) 09:59, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too violet-blue and not realistic. I don't find the "these are true colors" claim to be honest. The EXIF show the white balance has been adjusted to a custom value in Photoshop to 3750K and +15 tint, which would indeed generate a violet-blue effect. The EXIF also indicates a paint adjustment and a circular gradient adjustment that both have a temperature shift. So this image has been significantly altered by hand. Which is fine if the result is to create something realistic (my Sony camera's auto-white-balance is often a little too blue). As KoH says, white balance is a judgement, though the intention even in the blue hour, is to match what your eyes saw. It is a judgement initially made by the camera, but here it is altered too far into the artistic: this is Commons, not 500px. -- Colin (talk) 12:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that the deeper you go into the night, the more you’ll stray from so-called reality. For example the Milky Way is nothing more than a faint cloud of light to the naked eye, but shows up in astrolandscapes as this brilliant formation in the sky - clearly enhanced by brightening the image beyond the capabilities of the human eye. So I contend that this image (or any blue hour image) may very well have appeared this blue to the eyes if only they had a higher “ISO” for color images (our “high ISO” mode is in monochrome, after all, robbing saturation from what should be in the image). —- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 13:25, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many milky-way photos are a collage of astronomical photo with long exposure (and possibly a tracking mount) with a landscape photo with shortish exposure (and static mount), though there are exceptions. I agree they aren't realistic either but we seem to accept it. Northern lights photos are a bit like that too -- enhanced saturation. Perhaps because few people/voters live somewhere that the atmosphere is clear of light pollution or polar enough, so they assume it is real. But all of us do know what a night landscape sky looks like, and I think you'd need to have to be smoking something illegal to see violet-blue like this. If the clock on the camera is correct, this photo was taken at 17:42, which according to The Photographer's Ephemeris, the sun is at -6.5°, which is bang in the middle of the "Blue Hour" region. So this isn't darkest night and the sky would appear dark blue to the eye. If this has been exposed brighter than what anyone would see, then I also reject it can be called "realistic" -- Colin (talk) 15:31, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tangent here, but if you have a chance, see the Milky Way from 9,200 feet up Mauna Kea. It's quite brilliant up there on a clear night. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:39, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan sounds great. I am informed that the southern hemisphere has a much better milky way than the north. -- Colin (talk) 19:26, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hawaii is still Northern Hemisphere, but it's far enough south that if I remember correctly, the astronomers said all (or at least almost all) of the southern as well as the northern constellations were visible. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:49, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say all but yes, most sounds right. And what makes Hawaii and Southern hemisphere great is that we can see a larger part of the galactic center, which is the brightest (because we're at the edge of galaxy and looking towards its... center :)). Some nice celestial objects like the Magellanic clouds are seen from southern hemisphere only. - Benh (talk) 06:03, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin: I find your claim a bit dishonest. Cameras can get wrong. So post adjustment of WB is sometimes, if not always, necessary. I don't know about that picture, but it seems fair to me that there can be a colour cast due to the sky. - Benh (talk) 06:10, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And I'd point to the window on the right which is still quite yellow to support my claim here. - Benh (talk) 06:12, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK the light street lamps are very white :) u might be right about that picture :) - Benh (talk) 06:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Benh, please read again what I wrote (and what I was responding to by the nominator). I agree that without a calibration chart, white balance is just a guess by the camera about the ambient light conditions and modifications to it in post processing might be needed (as I said, my Sony camera is often a little blue). I was specifically responding to the claim that "Believe or not these are true colors....The only improvements are..." which according to the EXIF is simply not true at all: this image has been extensively adjusted. My guess is this was much darker in reality, with a dark blue sky, and as KoH says, lightening it (the +1.7 exposure adjustment along with whatever exposure the camera took) produces an image with brighter saturated colours we don't see -- in combination with the temperature and tint shift applied. -- Colin (talk) 12:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake :) Yes it seems author did deceive reviewers here (Although the picture doesn't look that unnatural to me, but why lying about the post processing). - Benh (talk) 18:35, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cameras capture the world very differently to our eyes, and often it's not possible to recreate what eyes (and brain) see even with an expensive camera with all the right settings and calibration processes. Making matters worse photos are around for a long time so we are also used to seeing the world through them as well. I imagine we become used to certain shortcomings and even manipulations. For this image all I can suggest is to manually tone down the extreme color temperatures to bring both the outside and inside closer to neutral, just to relax viewers one time from saturated colors and allow them to appreciate other aspects of the view more. This is why I find B&W images often more relaxing. – Lucas ^T 22:12, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have also substituted your personal colour change onto the Wikipedia article and elsewhere. That has removed an existing Wikipedia Featured Picture. Btw, the Wikipedia FP of the other image noted that this is ultimately taken from a larger photo that is damaged. -- Colin (talk) 14:30, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin: The original is not brown, but pink. I simply removed the pink stain. Why do you want to keep it? BTW the image you linked is sepia, contrary to the GAP one. And your reference to Jan is insulting. Please remove that. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:33, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yann, can you link to the "original" you think is pink. I see a google file and a Getty page. Both are the same brown as the original Commons file. Yours is greenish. What makes you think it is "stained" and why do you to upload to Commons a file that is not what you claim it is -- this is not the image from Google Art Projec--Colin (talk) 16:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)--Colin (talk) 16:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)t. The "source" links to a different coloured image. That is exactly the sort of misrepresentation of archive photos that got Jan into trouble. I am wondering if your PC or browser is not setup correctly. -- Colin (talk) 15:50, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greenish??? This is nonsense. And my laptop is fine. Here is a real sepia version. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yann, regardless of what colours you see on your laptop, it is nothing like the colours of the source image or the copy at Getty museum. Can we at least agree on that? And can we agree that the community, when discussing Jan's uploads, were very upset that he misrepresented the source archive. Do you think you know better than the experts at Getty? Jan did, and it got him an indef block. I really, really, don't know why this needs explaining. And I don't know why you've just uploaded yet another "Yann-Special-Colours" version that doesn't say this on the file description page. Sticking "-sepia" on the filename doesn't "explain" what you did. Please can you amend the "Source" to indicate which images you've altered from the true source, and what changes you made. -- Colin (talk) 16:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The church, built beween 1907-1910 and designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker, was originally known as the Church of Peace as it was built following the wars between the Germans and the Khoikhoi, Herero, and Owambo.

Comment Not knowing what's beyond the statue on the left, and whether the frame goes that far, is it possible to include a bit more so the two sides aren't so dissonant (completely open on the right and almost completely closed on the left)? As it is now the open right side coupled with the tower creates a very unbalanced composition. If not possible try cropping a tiny bit from the right (in the middle or just after the trunk of the smaller palm tree should be fine) to bring balance to the ~~Force~~ image. Lucas is also right that some more breathing room would be better at the bottom. -- KennyOMG (talk) 23:08, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cut off palm tree on the right, sidewalk cuts into the corner, so it is irking me similarily. Apart from that the angle is better and without obstruction by that palm tree. – Lucas ^T 19:15, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "Cut off palm tree on the right" - can't please'em all. :) Maybe the crop was a bit too much but I think it's more balanced. Can't support without more space at the bottom though. (eta: yes the other picture looks nice!) -- KennyOMG (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The animal doesn't stand out enough for me but this is a natural feature so I don't want to oppose it for that alone.

Comment - I haven't decided how to vote, because being upset is an emotional reaction and arguably a reason to vote for, not against, but that said: This does not look like a natural place at 80 seconds, because the long exposure accentuates the lights on the cars on the road in a very disconcerting way. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:26, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Looks like an amateurish attempt to copy Category:Statue of Buddha's head surrounded by tree roots, Ayutthaya, which is famous. As a photo, there is really nothing I see remarkable about it. While File:เศียรพระพุทธรูปในรากโพธิ์.jpg was a controversial FP, it got into the final of POTY. This, in comparison, is just a snapshot. -- Colin (talk) 11:34, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Amateurish" couldn't be more wrong. There's this face also very near in the same tree, which is not surrounded by roots, and that the monks everyday honor with encense and gifts just because it's part of their real worship. This (different) FP was controversial because it is unsharp and completely overprocessed. It would have had less oppose votes if the post-treatment had been better. There are religious items surrounded by tree roots in many places in Asia, in Ayutthaya Thailand of course, but also in Ankhor Vat Cambodia, and here in Laos in this isolated place where no tourist never go. Just search "temple of Don Som" on Google and you'll find no result because it is not an attraction (contrary to that famous one in Thailand). It is similar to other (better known) sculptures, yes, and so, what's the problem ? Are these fake roots ? For me it's an extraordinary creation showing the local spirit in link with nature. That also completely illustrates the art in Laos. It's just 100% authentic. Here photographically the fresh leaves gives something special, but even the painted sculpture itself I find this absolutely great, culturally amazing -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support according to Basile's statement --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support We shouldn't be judging the work itself, just the image of it. I could see opposing it on the basis of this image being too similar in concept to the other one, but I wouldn't be the one doing it. As it is, this to me is different enough because it has a playfulness the other one lacks. Daniel Case (talk) 16:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- We often judge subjects (castles => wow, ordinary houses => meh). We also judge the aspects that make a great photo (great light, great composition, great moment). This has none of those. It is very much a "point camera directly at subject in very ordinary light and press shutter button". It is a QI, but I see no FP here. -- Colin (talk) 16:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is not a "point camera directly at subject in very ordinary light and press shutter button". I've got this picture at several times of the day, including one at 6:35 am, which means I woke up before sunrise and took my boat in the darkness to reach this island, to make the best picture of this subject. That's my way of creating, yes. I love this shot in particular, its composition, the natural light, and think the "great moment" was to discover by chance this rare camouflaged object.

Question It looked too soft when viewing at 100 % and then I noticed that the previous verson had more sharpening, to my eye to an appropriate amount. As it is I can't support this "less sharpening" version. – Lucas ^T 21:53, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lucas You reckon that the previous amount of sharpening was better? I tend to sharpen less as I'm trying to avoid these bright lines around subjects from oversharpening. But you're probably right that this time it wasn't that bad - I uploaded a new version with more sharpening. Regards, --Podzemnik (talk) 05:33, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Podzemnik thanks, it's much better now and I don't see any artifacts. Bright lines can be mitigated by adjusting the settings, there are many guides on the internet about unsharpen mask and other techniques and how to handle them, in various programs. – Lucas 16:47, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to see the picture in its original size, but it's an impressive, unusual view. I don't think we should demand that drone pictures have absolutely level horizons - do you demand that of shots from planes, too? Satellite pics? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:46, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's certainly not a drone nor a robot that uploaded this file on Commons. So the author should do as everyone usually do when checking their pictures, just fix the tilt by a simple rotation of the image, quick and easy step in post-process, and aesthetic touch to avoid a sea rocking like a supernatural phenomenon.

Comment Some verticals of the higher towers seem to be a bit tilted to the left, espesially in the left half. --Milseburg (talk) 14:15, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry but this is quite some level below the standards for Castles/Fortifications on Commons. I'm guessing you are using Lightroom's photo merge, rather than a dedicated package such as Hugin or PtGui. For architecture, these are essential in order to supply vertical alignment guidelines and appropriate projection adjustment. The horizon is titled strongly at both sides, the towers are all quite wonky, including the middle corner. The far left is blurred. Overall, it looks quite strongly vertically compressed. The light and shadow combination is unfortunate too. -- Colin (talk) 17:53, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Our finest reptile photography includes habitat. What is the point in photographing one in the mountains of Madagascar, when the result looks like a pet in somoene's bedroom? The hard direct flash does it no favours either, resulting in over exposure and loss of three-dimensionality. -- Colin (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Still bearing a grudge from the 'flash can kill a chameleon' discussion. Sad. And of course it's not direct flash. Try looking at the shadow from the tail wrapped around the branch. Of course it's an artifical setting, but that doesn't stop it aspiring to be included in our finest reptile photography. --Charles (talk) 17:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why should I bear a grudge? I seem to recall you got upset with The Photographer. Charles, this does you no favours. I commented on the photo, and I examined our collection of reptile FPs. I said the flash was direct, I didn't claim it was a ring flash. Any flash mounted a few inches from the centre of the camera produces that effect. Please Charles, go look at the link you added to our current FP reptiles. Ambient light, or merely using a little fill-flash would have included some habitat colours, but you went for tiny aperture, low ISO, fast shutter and a whopping big flash at a distance of 1.6m to compensate for your choice of settings. So the wood is blown and the background is lost. -- Colin (talk) 18:18, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall you being with me when I took the picture and your analysis of my camera settings shows a very limited understanding of night-time wildlife photography. I chose to have a blackground. Charles (talk) 18:56, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Charles, first you transfer your grudge on to me (who has nothing to have a grudge about), then insult me. Your camera settings may well be for a chosen black background, if you say so, but they also required an unnecessarily bright flash to compensate, hence the over-exposed branch. That's basic photography, nature, night-time, or otherwise. My opinion stands, and since you once again seem to be more interested in personal attacks, than photography, I'm unwatching. -- Colin (talk) 19:19, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I propose to lay down the weapons. There are more important things in life than a picture!--Famberhorst (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to Colin, I find the back background very good: it helps making the animal standing apart. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:13, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I would support this for the style which is similar to my still life photos, but the lack of sharpness and therefore definition of its features, especially on the head, and the out of focus areas, are too much.

Comment I respect your opinion about this picture. But I would like to give a little explanation. The European larix (Larix decidua) occurs in Central Europe especially in the Alps. We are nature lovers and love the Alps. We have been going on holiday for years. Rarely have we seen a larix (Larix decidua) with such a large bleeding wound against the trunk as the larix in this photo. The branch has been broken down to the outside of the core in the tree trunk. An ordinary photo that you can shoot regularly is not my opinion.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:02, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We have similar Pinaceae family trees here in Finland, and I've seen similar wounds in them. The subject may be interesting, but the problem is more in the current presentation (crop and composition). --Msaynevirta (talk) 14:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by the Cleveland Museum of Art - uploaded by BotMultichill - nominated by EurekaLott - Eureka Lott 17:04, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Twilight in the Wilderness is an 1860 painting by Frederic Edwin Church. A different image of this painting was formerly a featured image at en.wikipedia, but was delisted in 2006 due to the number of compression artifacts. It was Wikipedia's picture of the day on August 21, 2004 and on July 29, 2005. We now have this higher-quality version, courtesy of the Cleveland Museum of Art. - Eureka Lott 17:04, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's lovely and all, but I don't feel like voting for it as it's a big TIFF file, meaning the file size is bigger than it needs to be and thus less useful. Have you considered making a PNG version?--Peulle (talk) 17:09, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe File:Frederic Edwin Church - Twilight in the Wilderness.jpg was downloaded from the Cleveland Museum of Art's site, and there are other (lower-resolution) files in Category:Twilight in the Wilderness. - Eureka Lott 17:14, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This painting looks like a bad photograph to me, very dark and details lost in the shadow. Maybe the original is better, but at least this view is not successful. In addition, TIFF format is too heavy -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:59, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Lovely scene, but the big shadow in the corner distracts from it too much. Also the shadow together with a more near tree top (not well identifiable without zooming in, too) cover up half of the village. Overall, the image doesn't tell a clear story to me as it contains too many competing elements of similar size in the frame. The composition could be improved as well. – Lucas ^T 19:35, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Too much darkness and technical issues. These large black sides left and right don't work for me. Certainly a vertical shot would have been more adapted. With these silhouettes in the center we don't need redundant black parts to crush the view with excessive darkness. The two white vertical lines around the door are strange and make the composition complicated. Nothing is really sharp on the image and the children seem not in focus.

Info The first in the series presents an expository view of the scene under natural blue hour light. The second, taken less than 30 minutes after the first, showcases Shanghai's unique nightly display of lights.
Support -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:48, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good details, the day version with a sky a bit noise in 100 %, and the night version a irregular soft focus on the right border, however, photopollution is common on Shanghai. Also, the day version has a blurred ships on the left and right bottom that are distracting and the header of the Oriental Pearl Tower lost details. --Photographer 23:56, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the support. I added a bit of NR on the first image. When correcting perspective for tall buildings, you inevitably end up stretching the top and shrinking the bottom, so unless you downsample the entire image the top sections will always be slightly less sharp at full resolution. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:13, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I underestand the point when you are corecting perspective (BTW, please add the panorama template to the images if its the case) and be careful when you are applying NR, its better apply a selective NR and not a general NR resulting on lost details. I find your pictures a well done work and my only critic is the ships with motion blur that could be solved taking a fast shoot combining this with a long exposure to later make the boat appear clear with another layer in photoshop --Photographer 00:24, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Not everything is tack sharp, but I like both photos enough to support them individually and as a set. These also merit VIC nomination, as the skyline will doubtless be different in x-number of years. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:54, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support the day version, neutral for the one at night. Impressive architecture, high resolution and nice composition on the left, but in the version at night I regret the colorful light reflection in the water was cut. Probably this choice was made to harmonize both with exactly the same framing, unfortunately the cut seems abrupt here, and visually it would certainly have been much more aesthetic with this special feature, missing -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:05, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nothing to say against showing an animal in its natural environment, but in this case the subject is not well separated from the background without any need for it (IMHO), making it harder to see the quite interesting silouette of the bird. The worst part are feathers on the bottom of its beak that are of very similar tone as the water reflections behind it. E.g. a lower angle would have cleared the background up a lot and provided more presence. – Lucas ^T 21:38, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Great light and colors, and using the shadows + cleared tracks as leading lines is a nice idea, but I feel like the lines don't lead anywhere. The focal point is too centered and consists of some random trees; of course the rule of thirds can be broken, but I don't see a compelling reason to do so here. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:13, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One of the reasons why the rule of thirds was not really possible here is because of my own shadow, visible from another angle, and also because the main subject really was this shape. I've nominated this landscape format version basically because it is a landscape, but now from your feedback I wonder if the portrait version below is not a better choice. Thanks for your opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think it has the makings of a good photo but agree that everything points towards the upper centre, where they eye finds nothing much. This reminds me of my File:Tree Shadow - Hitch Wood.jpg where the tree shadow consumes enough of the image to become the subject, but it had its own flaws. Here the tree shadow is not dominant enough. Btw, I wish we could comment against a centred subject-position without citing the discredited "Rule of thirds": it's a myth. -- Colin (talk) 18:58, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info Christ church or Christuskirche, Windhoek, Namibia. The church, built beween 1907-1910 and designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker, was originally known as the Church of Peace as it was built following the wars between the Germans and the Khoikhoi, Herero, and Owambo. It was constructed from quartz sandstone mined from the vicinity and has a mixture of neo-Romanesque, Art Nouveau and Gothic revival influences.

Oppose Highlights too bright on the clouds and a yellowish cast that gets more noticeable at the edges, where it's also very unsharp. Daniel Case (talk) 02:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel: I've "cooled" the image a bit, reduced the higlights and cropped a bit on the left. Please, consider that this image spans over aprox. 200 degrees and therefore it's to expect that the dynamic range is pretty big with strong shadows and highlights. The same applies to the "sharpness". When taking an image like this you focus manually to a spot (in this case the other side of the river) so that the focus does not change from frame to frame (in that case you'd have problems to stitch the panorama or diferences from frame to frame would be visible). The tradeoff is that items that are either further or closer from the focus point would not get the same sharpness.

- Comment The optical axis does not coincide exactly in the geometric centre of the building. Symmetry can therefore not be created later on the computer.

Info The usual dirt cleanup, a slight level adjustment to bring out the white ink, which had faded a bit towards the paper tone. There's at least two copies of this on Gallica, for instance, File:Rossini - Le comte Ory - dernière scène - Cela doit se taire - Dubois del et sculp.jpg is not the same image, but they're quite similar. This one has additional documentation at the bottom, and I think is a little better painted, so I chose it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:40, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The old line between Aggeie and Domokos is about to be shut down and replaced by a new high-speed line (background) some time this week. This looming change combined with an unusual amount of snow were the reasons for a quick visit. This photo shows two Adtranz diesels hauling a HellasSprinter with IC 52 Athens - Thessaloniki over the last stretch of old, single-track line that's still in use.

Your review looks a bit familiar . At least, the back wings are sharp :-) But compared to yours, I think the flower also makes the difference -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:11, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the flower is pretty, but the back wing is also very blurred. I think the difference between our two nominations is that mine is in focus, but has less a bit less definition as it is a close up of a tiny butterfly. Charles (talk) 13:18, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree yours has less definition, but on a creative level its aspect is also too ordinary in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 19:19, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a portrait. It's a such a pretty and rare species (unlike Catopsilia pomona!), I don't think it needs a flower to make it interesting. And it lives in a forest where there aren't pretty flowers anyway... Charles (talk) 09:19, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ - I don't think either of these should be FP. Not enough is sharp. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:28, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FP the other one, no, but this one yes, definitely. It's a composition of flower and insect. Could even be nominated in the category plants, I think. Very sharp the butterfly, 75% of its elements like crispy (legs, belly, back wings, head...) I think this is much more artistic than most of the other FPs focused only on the animal or on the plant with nothing else -- Basile Morin (talk) 19:19, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have a good point about the flower. I'll cross out my opposing vote. But I don't really think the butterfly is sharp enough to support this for FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:42, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have this butterfly sharp "all the way" too, but prefer this picture with a better bokeh. We have a lot of butterflies with blurry flowers, this one on the contrary is a nice Tagetes in focus with a lepidoptera in focus too, and just a minor part of it out. The flower is nicely open, attractive with great color -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer that one and would probably vote to support it for FP if nominated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In terms of composition, Jee's is the better photo. This one seems unbalanced, centred, and the background has intrusive lines. I suggest you experiment with a crop. -- Colin (talk) 13:59, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've cropped it to a square, but the main problem in Jee's Catopsilia pomona in my view is not its composition, but really its harsh light, and also the lack of details. The background here is better I think, and the orientation of the flower also -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; Jee's is the better image. Daniel Case (talk) 18:16, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly. But not at all . Jee has captured several excellent pictures of butterflies, unfortunately this one is certainly the worse of them... At least on this point I agree with Charles and Ikan it should not be FP. It was not good at the beginning promoted in 2012, but in 2014 another version has been uploaded with even worse light. Very harsh, IMO, and blown highlights. The tips of the flower are hard yellow, and compared to mine, the body of the animal is dull with absolutely no texture -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination I have changed the category to Plants, since we already have a flower with insect there, we can renominate later this similar combination of flora / fauna, but now it's such a bad start I chose to close it -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Geckos are really small, so this picture is kind of absurdly big and detailed, and it's pretty crazy that Basile was able to focus stack a living creature. I see a little motion blur only on part of the tail. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looks more like it wasn't neatly stacked. I also find the crumbs disturbing, especially the fly leg. Has the gecko just had breakfast?--Ermell (talk) 07:35, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If it's a stacking error, I'd like to see it be taken care of. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:42, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done Not sure I understand well the problem with the focus stacking job, as I handled it very carefully and really don't see major problem here honestly. I've uploaded a new version with the very minor issues corrected, please add a note if there's something else I've missed, but yes Ikan is right it is not easy at all to photograph a living creature so close and to make 20 shots at different focuses in these conditions. So for the tail not completely sharp I agree but I'm afraid this is not improvable. Focus stacking is a choice, otherwise f/32 would not be as sharp, nor as detailed with this DoF -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:42, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm fairly impressed by this focus stack of a living creature and would support it as such, but there are too many out-of-focus areas on the center of the skin and around edges to consider it FP quality. I'm positive this could all be fixed by careful, but more involved cloning work. – Lucas 16:25, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This work is a composition of 20 pictures, not 30, since it was not possible to take more shots without the gecko starts moving. At this moment the reptile was breathing, which means the shape of the stomach was evolving in time, and thus a very special rhythm had to be followed for each picture. It's not as easy as with an inanimate object. If I had these parts available in focus, certainly the composition would be more accurate there, but now they're missing unfortunately, because of the manual procedure. Creating a fake object with artificial patches coming from different areas is not my taste, and would not be better on a realistic level. So I keep it with its minor technical issues. The technique is mentioned in the description, so the viewer should understand why there are soft areas. You can't invent the pixels, especially on the edges : they're just not here, when you focus on the foreground, the background is blurry, and when you focus on the background the foreground becomes half opaque, over, due to the scale ratio proportionate to the distance, and also due to the irregular texture. It's mainly an optical obstacle, certainly similar to every subject of this nature. But this resolution is large enough for excellent quality prints. If it's too big, we can downsize it at 2000 px large, 2500 px large, 3000 px large, and even 3500 px large, still acceptable in my view. But requesting extreme sharpness here like a knife blade is a bit nitpicking IMO. This coleoptera had its back leg totally out of focus because the animal moved too early, and the resulting picture was however a big success in FP -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:59, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Lucas, the various patches of blur on the tail are rather obvious and cause the image to look strange. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:39, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Lucas too many out-of-focus areas. Means the stack is not well done. All in all it is not very sharp, I miss contrast and the subject is too bright. The composition isn't appealing for me because of the "white" background and this unnatural environment. --Hockei (talk) 12:22, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's very sharp at lower resolution, and all is sharp, from head to tail. The white background is a choice (like here or here) to present the animal in its morphology. It will be perfect for captions like this, for example. Although I find pictures of animals in their environment very valuable, one kind of photography doesn't exclude the other(s), I think. Concerning the lighting, it couldn't be better IMO, diffuse lamps illuminate every part and also avoid harsh shadows -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:50, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Expecting a focus stack of a living thing to be tack sharp in every part is strange to me. The level of detail is amazing. If you think you can do better, please do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:13, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it's an impressive feat, but for 17 MP full-frame you can go to f/16 with very little diffraction, allowing you to capture it with the same number of frames but with much more consistent sharpness. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, there's a visible difference between f/8 and f/16, but the main problem with large DoF pictures in focus stacking is the amount of errors generated in the process, even with the excellent software Helicon Focus I use, the sharp patches overlay, creating frequently undesirable ghosts -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Ordinarily, I'd go for neutral as this image is a little bit more reddish than I'd like. But ... in this case it sort of makes it work better. I am reminded of some paintings or an artist or genre of art; I cannot remember which. Daniel Case (talk) 22:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
