Morgan 3 wheeler

  •  Info A Morgan 3 wheeler with a JAP motor during GLP at "Gaisbergrennen" 2009. Sharp, you can see the motion of the wheels but also see the surroundings mirroring in the car. Nice depth of field, the car is complete sharp, the background blurred, but you can see the action. Created, uploaded and nominated by MatthiasKabel(talk) 19:38, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Background is blurred, centering can be boring, and the shadows ar on the right side of the picture. (5 oppose from me because of resolution didn't influence your decision?) MatthiasKabel (talk) 21:07, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've sent my lambs out to slaughter, no hard feelings.Mtaylor848 (talk) 21:12, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not quite FP for me, due to the distracting background (despite the fact that its blurred) sorry --Tom dl (talk) 21:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I like it. Also the background is just blurred enough to give you the feeling of the oldtimer race. Crop on the left is a little bit tight though. --Chmehl (talk) 07:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The background needs to be blurry to keep the eye's focus on the car. An in-focus background would be distracting. I wouldn't crop it because the road stripes add to the effect - maybe just a little cropped off the right if any. The engine detail is extremely interesting. Royalbroil 13:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I thought about cropping on right side also, but I wanted the traffic sign and the shadows and moisture on the right side shouldn't be cutted. MatthiasKabel (talk) 15:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Voting period ends on 5 Jun 2009 at 15:46:57
SHORT DESCRIPTION

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it is not stunning, questionable composition, has glare, has lighting problems, and doesn't befit the FPC criteria in general. 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.

—Anonymous DissidentTalk 14:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I am commenting on your proposal to FPX the image because of the reasons that you state are completely subjective and lack substance at that, except at your personal level, which cannot be relied on as evaluation criteria. Not stunning is subjective and subject to personal preference. Not an objective point. Questionable composition is also subjective and again, subject to personal preference. Not an objective point. Glare, where? the sun is behind, so there is no glare. Not a valid technical point. Lighting problems? Which? dynamic range is there, if you knew zone system photography this would be evident. In fact, given the dynamic range, exposure is pretty good. Again, not a valid technical point. So I nonymously (sic?) dissent in your personal opinion and I definitely dissent on your technical observations. Self portraits are a tradition in painters, photographers, etc., and are self interpretations of the creators. Whether they work or not for the observer is a different story, subjected to the cultural capital of the observer and his knowledge of the medium, but they are definitely a common practice. A simple oppose would have been enough. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose -- Really can't see any use or worth in this picture. It's just a picture of a dog shaded by the photographer, in no special way. Definitely not FP-quality. -- Peipei (talk) 11:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Support Labeling is not that important in my opinion to delist an otherwise impressive and very useful illustration. --norro 15:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep It probably took hours and hours of hard work to make this highly detailed illustration. Since you cannot substitute it with a real-life photograph of a dissected hand, the FP status of this image should stay. (P.S. I have such a feeling that I was not the only one to use wrong template in order to vote. Whoever is going to count votes, read the comments first, they might contradict the vote template.)--Ahnode (talk) 13:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't useless because you want it to be useless. See above. --Ahnode (talk) 14:51, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I said partially (please read my comments properly) as it is salvageable should the original author (or someone else for that matter) want to do the effort. I'd rather have it as a correct image than not used! Lycaon (talk) 15:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it will be a good idea for you to notify The Photographer about this nomination to delist his illustration. At the same time, I would suggest you, as a scientist, to help us improve the illustration and explain precisely on the talk page (image's or user's... wherever) why do you think it is inaccurate. This is going to be the best 'favour' you can do so far (removing it from articles doesn't count, as you haven't discussed it first at the article's talk page). As for your claim regarding absence of references, Wilfredo specifically addressed this issue when replied to your comment. Probably you couldn't have asked Wilfredo to enter this information into illustration's description template. But again you haven't contacted him yet. --Ahnode (talk) 16:05, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This was obviously not a reference. I can't understand why you are so adamant in wanting to keep this picture as FP when it clearly needs work done to it. It doesn't even specify whether it is a left or a right hand so that a laymen (99.99% of users here myself included concerning human anatomy) can't properly judge whether it is a top or a bottom view...

  •  Comment You know I'm a stickler for geotagging, having made, e.g., the {{Geo}} template. On a number of occasions, I've been told that the geotagging would be useless for photographs of a given creature because the subject was photographed in captivity. I never recall that fact being considered a dealbreaker for an image's FPC eligibility in the past. Even if the image were said to lack the ecological validity provided by an in-habitat shoot, I believe the image illustrates the species quite well, and with high image quality; and I feel that any "damage" to the image's suitability is mitigated by the fact that it also illustrates the state-of-the-art in enclosure design, as this exhibit opened just a couple of weeks ago at the National Aviary. —Notyourbroom (talk) 19:24, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Zoo environments certainly don't prevent a picture getting FP, however they usually fall into two categories : 1) even though the animal is captive you don't get that impression by only looking at the picture, 2) inspires emotions of anger or pity (i.e. a gorilla or chimp looking sad clutching the bars of its cage). In this particular case I think the opposes are because it doesn't fall in either category, IOW the background is distracting without offering much value (I understand this is a new enclosure, but it's hard to tell by simply looking at the picture). --ianaré (talk) 20:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Well Lycaon, a few things... Ianare generously contributed with the id... (thanks Ianare) before you opposed. And while I see the value of identifying subjects, it is not part of the guidelines, and I don´t think it should be a requirement. So I see no basis for your oppose, unless you find other faults... (and please don´t just add the requirement by yourself). Some people are good at photography, others at identifying or classifying images... Others at both... If you have the knowledge, share it. I have photographs, I share them... That way everyone wins! --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's not very fair, isn't it? Imagine if I would nominate a name of an insect (well defined) and trhen say: ""I name the subject, you take the picture". A bit ridiculous too, wouldn't it be? Lycaon (talk) 13:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • LOL! Wrong premise Lycaon, starting point is the image, all else follows. Besides, this particular image is centered on flight of pelicans, where the particular identification of the subjects is not the main objective. Remember the Tao, "The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. Translation, the words are not the thing named, the words are not the image. The image is the image. The words about the image is not what is judged here. The image is. Granted, Identification is extremely desirable, but to what depth? And since this is a collaborative effort, I think it is reasonable for people to help the project along, not to shoot it down in technicalities. Add them and further the effort. I prefer depth over form. --200.56.93.82 18:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC) Opps... that was me... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • You are missing the (my) point. I have nothing against uploading unidentified pictures (though I'd never do it myself) but there are lots of options to find out an id before you nominate. FP is not an identification forum (nor a forum to post several alternative versions of the same thing for that matter, but that is another story). We have Commons:Photography critiques for that. Other users can do it (e;g. Alvesgaspar, Yann, Richard Bartz, ...) so why couldn't you? I help where I can and when I can and so do other people. Lycaon (talk) 22:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          •  Comment Please judge on FP criteria, this is still not QI. I agree that identification makes an image much more useful, but images are not just used for Wikipedia articles about a species. --Tony Wills (talk) 23:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Bad quality + id's missing. —kallerna™ 12:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • ... and continuing with the next... What does bad quality mean? There are generally agreed criteria in the photographic world that can, somewhat objectively, define quality in specific terms. Please define your idea of bad quality in adequate language, at least as a courtesy considering your ever present opposes. I think the authors deserve to know the substance, if there is any, of the critiques. That way others and I may learn something from your wisdom.

  •  Comment What do you mean by bad quality? I keep reading that short sentence in this forum yet the quality gurus never seem to put forth valid arguments that result in such judgement and do not contribute to the authors or other observers. If it is an opinion, say so, if it is the result of an evaluation process, bad quality can be expressed in photographic terms. As it stands, it is just an opinion. Purpose of the image? Well, if you read a little about geography, rivers and ecosystems, this picture illustrates on those areas, encyclopedic in nature. Pretty or eye-catching photography? Definitely no. Illustrative of a geographical space, yes. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment In this instance I was referring to the softness of the image esp. away from the cows, nearly all the image is soft (maybe motion blurred?) especially at the edges when compared to work such as diliff's, obviously this isn't a downsampled pano, but this is really unlike a 50d with good glass in front of it. I'm sure you know far more about it than me, and there's probably a reason why you didn't, but in this instance I would consider a polarizer, shooting at ~90mm on a crop body you're not going to get a huge amount of difference in polarization across the sky and you'd definitely knock out some of the haze and increase the contrast. Hope this clears up my views - 58.169.106.1 22:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Fair enough... I accept that critique as responsible and agree with the points you make. And for your information, lens was a 28-135 IS with polarizer. Probably motion blurr despite IS. Photo take from a bridge with lots of vibration and wind. Could be better, yes. Will reshoot when possible.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

The reason the chicken was running
  •  Keep First I don't believe that a recently promoted image should be immediately nominated for delisting, any more than a recently declined image should be immediately re-nominated - both are inappropriate. Secondly, I didn't vote on this original nomination but watched its progress with interest. Yes in terms of narrow quality criteria it is mostly blurred and even the parts in focus are not particularly sharp. But this is FP, not QI, and a lot of people don't seemed to know the difference. The 'quality' guidelines of FP were strengthened in line with the QI guidelines, mainly I think because of the large number of nominations - to help weed out unworthy images. But FP has always been about the most striking images on Commons, not just the 'best' in terms of technical quality, but the best in terms of eye popping, and interest grabbing - suitable for a front window display for Commons. --Tony Wills (talk) 22:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I agree with your first sentence, but make an exception as this image was proposed humorously. Also, thinking long-term - it's 50 years from now and there's some major disaster - which electronic archives will be chosen to be saved? I would bet that the FPs would be high on the list. So I would add 'enduring' to 'striking' and 'eye-popping'. My sense is this image is a transient joke that served its purpose. Downtowngal (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
An argument about archives for posterity is somewhat irrelevant, FP are simply the 'best' pictures on commons right now, I don't expect current FPs to survive 5 years, let alone 50 years :-). I don't see why you see it as a 'joke' image, whatever the reasons for nomination, it is an excellent example of a panning shot of a moving animal (a lot more difficult than something moving smoothly like a vehicle). The 'ordinary' subject has a humour element and is greatly enhanced by the photography technique. I hope we can get back to promoting the best of Commons, rather than just the best of QI :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 00:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if there were any better panning photographs of animals, I thought I had seen one or two here, but all I can find is this one ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 02:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info I may downsample images, but not by so much scale... without reason : if I remember (I lost the RAWs) the source pictures were taken at ISO 1600 and f/2.8. Hence a very bad quality when viewed at 100% (soft and very noisy). Leaving the picture unscaled down would certainly have not been seen well. For another reason, my picture of Eiffel Tower below is downsampled : I have a front focus problem on my lens... sadly... because the picture could have been twice as large. -- Benh (talk) 16:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I sympathise with Benh as I too am accused of downsampling excessively with some of my images, and what many people don't realise is the difficulty in actually getting the image at all. It shouldn't matter what the theoretical resolution might be. If you're going to complain about downsampled panoramas, you might as well complain that Benh take a 100 segment mosaic instead of just 15. :-) Diliff (talk) 16:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A ridiculous FPX. We have FPs that are more noisy than this; it is not in any way at all an obvious dequalifier. --Aqwis (talk) 08:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think a perspective correction is needed : the obelisk is really thinner at the top than at the bottom. But don't hesitate to create another version if you wish. Peter17 (talk) 21:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course it's tappered, that's not the point. If you draw a vertical line (with respect to the frame of the picture) passing the pointy end of the obelisk, it falls quite off to the left of the base, instead of almost perfectly in the middle. Which means it's definitely tilted to the left. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 04:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I mean it's not eye catching enough. Maybe the obelisk has an interesting history, but you can't see that in the picture. It's like making a photo of a radio, that is playing a very good song. --Tired time (talk) 12:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose La photo illustre bien le sujet, mais la composition est plutôt ordinaire pour une FP. --S23678 (talk) 02:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seconded. This is a rather standard photograph, a more artistic shot could have given better results. →Diti the penguin — 20:14, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Maybe it is not artistic, but you cannot obtain those resolution and details with a standard photograph. You need to take several pictures and assemble them, what I did. Peter17 (talk) 05:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Comment Yes it is quite good quality over all. But if you use techniques like stiching multiple images you need to remove artifacts of the process (ie one shouldn't be able to tell it was done this way), so first either fix the aerial on the roof behind, or if that is too difficult, then perhaps just clone out the aerial. People also expect something special, beyond quality, about FP images. Perhaps historical significance isn't enough :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 22:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Overexposed. Maybe you could do some edits to RAW-file? —kallerna™ 15:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Overexposed where? The cloth is white and under sunlight, yet the important parts are within the tonal range, with perhaps very small sections blocked, which is acceptable, considering their placement in zones XIII to X on a gray scale. The shadow areas and dark subjects have acceptable detail (zone II and III), so considering the short dynamic range of digital photography, and the tonal range represented, as well as the texture range, including highlights and shadows, exposure is pretty good. You may want to check the histogram, adjust your monitor and a read a little bit of information on zone system photography. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose slightly overexposed (edges of cloth), not a big fan of the motion blur, and composition is a bit lacking. Each of these separately would not make me oppose, but taken as a whole they do. --ianaré (talk) 13:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment This picture illustrates a process of recreating petroglyphs. How many times have you seen that? It is an illustrative image first of all. Now, technically, as I said above, knowledge of zone system gives access to evaluation parameters in terms of the capacity of the medium (digital photography) to represent in its corresponding zone of the gray scale the different luminosities of the subjects of the image. With this in mind, skin tones are correctly represented in zone VI, where it belongs in a normal scale. That means that exposure is correct in terms of original luminosity values with a normal gray scale; the white cloth is correctly represented in zones VIII to X, zone X being the base of the medium, with no texture, but well represented within the dynamic range where you can perceive changes in tonality. The gray scale is slightly modified with photoshop, a normal procedure based on traditional dark room practices. When I analize an image for exposure, I identify a subject with a known corresponding value in the gray scale, and considering the light source and where the other elements fall within the gray scale, I then determine if the scale is normal, expanded or contracted in order to accomodate a visually appealing gray scale, and at the same time, I can determine if the gray scale can be expanded, contracted or moved up or down. Only then can exposure can be judged somewhat objectively. To say that the edges of the white cloth is over-exposed means nothing, for those parts are represented in its corresponding zone. If exposure is manipulated so that those edges fall below zone IX, which is where the tonal range starts, then everything else would be bumped to lower light values, and then we would have true exposure errors, or at least, a modified gray scale with objects outside their natural, corresponding equivalent in gray. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Believe it or not I have seen that method for transcribing petroglyphs, except done in black. I am certainly not opposing on 'no interest'. I'll admit I've never used the exposure zones method. I'm not claiming to be a master, but I usually just try to make sure the histogram looks OK on the camera. If as whole the image is too dark or light, then I adjust using photoshop. To me those edges are definitely overexposed, in the sense that no adjustment will bring out any detail in them. I also feel that if the shutter speed had been higher, there would be less motion blur and overexposure. --ianaré (talk) 21:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment... And that would have created a wrong exposure, by lowering the value of the highlights, the rest of the tonal values would have been pushed into darker zones, losing the real gray scale value of the image. You would sacrifice 99.9% of true exposure for nothing. Nowhere in the history of photography says that everything must be within the tonal or texture range. The histogram is a great tool, specially for zone system visualization, but to know where to place the curve is the real challenge. Anyway, I disagree with your opinion about the significance of a very, very minor area, of white subject in direct sunlight. Of course a few pixels will be completely white, almost as specular reflexions. And as I said, given the luminosity range and the lighting conditions, exposure is pretty, pretty good. Any Zonie will telll you that. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too much advertisement? Should the photographer go and remove the advertisment or what?! -- Pro2 (talk) 19:27, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The photographer should not bring an image with advertisment into the Wikimedia commons. We need to avoid making plugs in the Wikimedia commons. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 22:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that there mustn't be any advertisment visable in images. Haven't heard of such policy. I was talking more about aesthetics. Here advertisment is too distracting for me. For example here there are some ads, but when you look at the picture, you see a car. When I look at this picture, I find myself staring at letters "AMG". They are too big and right in the middle. No, I don't think advertisment should be removed, I just think that this image should not be featured and that nothing can be done about it.
It's a picture of a race car. Race cars have advertisements on them. So pictures of race cars should be ineligible for FP? How about a photo of a pro footballer. They have ads on their jerseys; should they be ineligible for FP also? Street photography often contains unavoidable billboards. Where do you draw the line? Cacophony (talk) 06:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The blurry background is the thing about a panning shot. If you want the car and the background sharp you need a very short exposure. To make such a pic is no problem at all, much easier than this one, but the problem is that on such a pic it would look like as if the car would just park on the road. About the ads I can only say: Racing cars have ads, also the one you mentioned above. Furthermore this car is an AMG-car so in the end it is the brand of the car. --AngMoKio (talk) 08:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

corrected perspective

This one isn't unusual at all. A user has nominated the original version, which I altered and uploaded again than nominated it. The shadows and lighting ruin the image plus there are many tiles that are dirty. The art isn't that historic (probably late 20th century) and represents probably modern Islamic art. It isn't a moving object, which makes it very easy to take a picture of (avoid direct lighting). I find it very "weird" that no opposition has come up till now.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I was not being flippant, and I apologize if you interpreted my question that way. Take it at face value. There is an enormous number of copyright-free 19th century images available, and I assumed you had a rationale for choosing this one to suggest as an FP. Your answer that it's rare to find an encyclopedic image of this play is what I was looking for. Downtowngal (talk) 17:14, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I read the "Seriously." as half-mocking, when I now see you just meant it as, well, indicating you didnt understnd and seriously wanted an answer. I think it's because I grew up in the nineties =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:20, 19 June 2009 (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: It is a Photoshop Disaster. Windows of the second floor obviously photoshoped in. All the curtains are exactly draped identically; sharpness and grain not consistent w/surroundings, some windows (esp. the 1st one on the left) distinctly crooked w/respect to the building. Magenta bleeading at the bottom of the 4th window from the left. Overall picture is noticeably tilted and has strong distortion. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 12:38, 22 June 2009 (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.

Concept drawing for the spire of Frankfurt cathedral from around 1415

This is a scan of the original draft for the spire of Saint Bartholomeus's Cathedral in Frankfurt on the Main by work master Madern Gerthener from around 1415. Although there were alternate concepts to finish the spire, Gerthener's sucessor Hans Fluecke von Ingelheim based his final draft from around 1480 on Gertheners concept. Since the spire was completed after it in the 1860s, Gerthener and his draft as depicted here are considered the intellectual fathers of the spire as of today. --Mylius (talk) 12:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
