  •  Info Cropped to remove partially shown trees and to fix the centered horizon. Contrast also enhanced a bit. Muhammad 20:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No no no no no! What do you mean by enhanced? That makes it sound like you did something good. That's not the case. It is a completely false assumption by people with bad monitors that stretching the histogram of an image automatically produces a better picture. You are ruining the colors of the image for the rest of us with non sucking monitors. --Dschwen (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support IMO it now solves all the above mentioned problems. Muhammad 20:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Apart from not helping to ensure accurate color reproduction it also didn't fix the sloping horizon. --Dschwen (talk) 20:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are other issues : all your source pictures weren't focused consistently, resulting on soft parts and sharp ones being mixed. This will be more difficult to fix. The tilt is very obvious on this version. Also, I wouldn't try to change things when they can only be judged subjectively (such as contrast and colors... you were there, you remember the colours better than we do, so if you were satisfied with the first version's colours, I'd suggest you keep them !). Benh (talk) 21:13, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose, the left part of the picture is disturbingly unsharp in this version. Also, I prefer the composition of the first one. --Aqwis (talk) 21:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Like the other edit better. Mr. Mario (talk) 23:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I prefer the other composition and don't agree with Dschwen on the need to be absolutely faithfull to reality, whatever that means. Anyway, the colours look washed out to me (even worse in the edited version) and that might be the result of some overexposure. Finally (here I go again...) photography should allow for some personal interpretation which is, by the way, the funniest part of it. And yes, the tilt looks worse now... -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sharpness issues on the left side of the image. Freedom to share (talk) 17:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is not a perspective problem, it is tilted. Mr. Mario (talk) 03:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, let's close the nomination, but I want to ask e few questions - how it is tilted, if all walls of buildings are vertical, and roofs at the center - horizontal? This image was taken at this place: [1]. So, in the left a river is moru curved, than in right, so it only looks like curved. I don't really understand, where you see tilting :( Andrius Vanagas (talk) 04:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • But, uhm, the buildings are not 100% vertical - I measured a 1.64 degree counter-clockwise tilt on the highest building (in the middle) with Photoshop's Measure Tool. --Aqwis (talk) 09:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The tilt is clockwise, not counter-clockwise. You can see that when you connect any object with its mirror in the river. The connecting line should be vertical. --Romwriter (talk) 14:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hm... Is it difficult to solve this problem? Photoshop free transform tools? or is there other way? - Andrius Vanagas (talk) 16:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd go back to your panorama software for this. --Dschwen (talk) 13:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Voting period : from 26 Sep 2008 to 5 Oct 2008 (included)
SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info created, uploaded and nominated by Benh (talk)
  •  Info This is one of the hydraulics motors of the Saulnier watermill (Here a previous nom. of mine). Parts of the subject are cropped (and this is the widest I can do at 10mm !), and I had to clone out a few distracting elements (a child and a newspaper). I hope you'll find the job properly done. - Benh (talk)
  •  Support I find the view interesting and there're not so many pictures of this kind over here. -- Benh (talk) 22:16, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - No, there aren't many but the one I know has an amazing quality. One comment and one question: I don't like the way the dial of that metering device, at the LR side, is distorted; where were the child and the newspaper? I'll save my vote for later. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't do much about distorsion, please keep in mind this is a 10mm shot (FOV ~ 90°) and that I couldn't step behind. Lucag's FP is a great one, and a tough comparison :-). It was taken using the same hardware (400D + Canon 10-22) and with similar settings (I used f/8 and 10mm, against f/5.6 and 10mm) so quality should be on par. My picture isn't downsampled and this is a little bit more unforgiving. Lighting is more challenging here as well. Notice you see the details on the upper floor quite well, which isn't possible without exposure blending (which I used by the way, sorry for not telling, I'll update the caption). I didn't want to tell were cloning out was done, not to biase votes, but here where they were : Child (550, 1550) and around ; newspaper (244, 2452) and around. - Benh (talk) 06:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I might but I'm not equipped properly (like a Nodal Ninja panoramic head). And there were so many people that my timing was very short. I agree with you that the shot would have been much better uncropped... But I still think it looks aesthetic (nice atmosphere and colours to me), and has value. IMO it depicts well the mecanism of hydraulic motor. Once I'm sure about what composes it, I'll update the caption (but if someones here knows... All I can tell is the left gear has its vertical bar actioned by the turbine in the river underneath). - Benh (talk) 17:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do about that. --Aqwis (talk) 16:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Two reasons: crop and to improve sharpness. You may notice that it is cropped slightly tighter than in the previous versions. In those versions, I actually added some "fake" sky in the uppermost part of the picture where there was previously a grey background from rotating the picture. I didn't want to do that in the FPC version so I cropped it instead. I've also downscaled it slightly to improve sharpness. --Aqwis (talk) 11:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A gold plated stereo jackplug

 Comment No upsize or downsize was done, it would of course look much sharper if I downsized it but our guidelines say that we should not do that. Postprocessing has been spot and noise removal and I slightly reduced three highligts and adjusted the white balace a bit. It was quite difficult to get the light right for this as the shiny metal easily made burned out highligts during the 8 second exposure. I ended up with using three light sources and moved the strongest one in an arc behind the camera during the exposure to create a more even light. I understand your concern about if this should be FP of course there are more beautiful subjects, but all are difficult in their own way. Sharpness was also a challange, I used both mirror lock up and remote shutter. In my oppinion we have many featured macros of nature objects but not that many of "things". /Daniel78 (talk) 22:56, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I realise it's not upsized, but wanted to point out that the picture as only tiny blotchs, and not pixels (sorry I don't know how to explain better). Strange. As a result, downsampled version wouldn't not lose much information I believe. And if something can be downsampled, we should go ahead I believe. Space drive is not free ;). I'm surprised you had to remove noise from a Nikon D300 picture ; why did you use ISO 200 by the way ? Benh (talk) 17:31, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well there was not much noise, and nothing visible on the jackplug (just in the background), perhaps it was the background that caused it as it was a black paper with some texture that was not in focus ? Anyway ISO 200 is actually the lowest on the D300 although there are lower modes called LO, but as I recall it those modes do not follow the standard for ISO ratings (color reproduction and other measurements I guess) and therefore it is not using the ISO numbers just like the reason that above ISO 3200 and up to 6400 it is called HI instead of using the numbers. About downsampling there seem to be different oppinions here, some thinks it's ok and some think you should never do it. But as of now our guidelines do say that the highest possible resoultion should be used, if that is not the case it should be rephrased. And keeping the highest resolution is good in the way that it leaves the option of downsampling to the user of the image, after downsampling you can not get the original back. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Overall sharpness is quite good, but the edges are not as clear as I would desire. Background is too “warm”, it could be darker and the hue should be complementary to the plug's golden colour. Third, I do not like the lighting, I would prefer more diffuse light sources. --Romwriter (talk) 08:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that the background and the plug could be better separated, perhaps I should try to play with that. But to me the jackplug should not be warmer, I have it in front of me and if something this image looks too cold. Not sure why everyone think it's the opposite :) I would also like to try with more diffuse light sources, but I had none available. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:21, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Not bad image, quite illustrative. Freedom to share (talk) 09:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Some numbers appear incorrect; other important parts aren't labeled. For example, #7 says "shutter release" but the shutter release should be the round button closer to the front; #7 is probably meant to be the on/off switch. Also #3 says "diaphragm" but the diaphragm doesn't have a label; it's closer to the front of the lens. The line coming from #3 points to a glass element in the lens. The pentaprism and mirror don't have labels, nor does the aperture ring (the ring around the lens near the body of the camera, attached internally to the aperture). Fg2 (talk) 12:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The image description page has a comment by Jean-Jacques Milan (who knows quite a lot on photography), and says "ce dessin est plutôt bien fait mais le pentaprisme doit être remplacé par un prisme en toit. Avec un pentaprisme le viseur donnerait une image inversée droite-gauche", i.e. in English "this drawing is well done but the pentaprism should be replaced by a "roof prism" [I'm not sure how to translate it]. With a pentaprism, the viewfinder would give right-left inverted image". This should be checked and fixed. le Korrigan →bla 16:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Illustrative. I understand this is a reflex camera, but the reflex mirror isn't labled. Something like this has better description. Regarding the pentaprism, here are the illustrations: Pentaprism and Roof Pentaprism--Base64 (talk) 16:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Circa 1897 view of USS Maine, the sinking of which precipitated the Spanish-American War of 1898

I am guessing the picture was shot from another ship rocking on the waves, hence the decrease in sharpness. I wonder what the exposure duration was in those days. The picture is indeed unique (among those available on the web at least), as it is by far the best image of USS Maine that I have seen, and the ship is of course quite significant. I particularly like the clear view of sailors on board, giving a good indication of the ship's size. Per Durova, it would be good to clean the picture up more and remove the artifacts, but I don't have enough experience to attempt this.

  •  Info Momordica charantia [ku gua 苦瓜] is native to Africa but has been used in Chinese folk medicine for centuries as a 'bitter, cold' herb, and has recently been brought into mainstream Chinese medicine as well as natural medical traditions around the world. Recent research has shown that the immature fruit might have some antibiotic, anticancer, and antiviral properties, particularly well suited for use in treatment of malaria, HIV, and diabetic conditions (the use of Momordica fruit is contraindicated in a number of conditions, especially pregnancy - all Chinese medicinals should be used only under the supervision of a trained herbalist of Traditional Chinese Medicine). created by The Photographer - uploaded by The Photographer - nominated by The Photographer -- libertad0 ॐ (talk) 14:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

This is my first panorama, so don't be too harsh on me. I currently don't have the right computer and software to process panorama's, so it took me a lot of time and effort to create this one. I will buy a new computer in a while, so this will change. As for the picture itself. When the winter starts, the sun sets earlier and the light will become a little more dull. I tried to capture this in this image. I hope you like it. Oh, and there is one stitching error for so far I can see. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 18:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's the reason for you opposing? --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 19:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You wrote it yourself - there is stitching error. And in addition, the overall quality of image is not sufficient for FP. --Karelj (talk) 23:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt a new computer would prevent stitching errors. :) --Aqwis (talk) 20:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, but it will make processing panoramas a lot easier. My computer is just too old to do so correctly. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 19:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Featured pictures are considered some of the best pictures out there. So when not even you are convinced about the quality of your pic, you should not nominate it. Besides, try perspective correction. The viewer has the inpression the buildings are about to topple over. --MarPac (talk) 12:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say I'm not convinced about the quality. I only said there is one minor stitching error, which every featured panorama probably has. The buildings appear about to topple over in real life as well, so that's why I didn't apply perspective correction. As for the definition on FP's..I'm well aware of that, thank you. I've been here a lot longer than you.. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 12:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose A very nice stitch ! I haven't spotted the error (and I'm very picky when it comes to noticing them). I'm not too keen on the lighting (which is my main reason for oppose). I'd leave a little bit more room below too, and correct perspective so the verticals don't converge. and I understand how frustrated you can be with your computer, I did most of my panos on a 800 Mhz G4 :(. I'd give it another try. - Benh (talk) 19:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the constructive criticism Ben. I will give it another try and I think the next panorama I'll take, will be during the day. I currently have created a new panorama with some perspective correction and without the stitching error, but it isn't better in terms of the light. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 21:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment - As for the trees - the courtyard is the subject (the "hof" part of the filename), so they should be there imo. You'd hardly be able to get a picture where they weren't hiding many of the buildings, unless we can convince the council to cut' em pesky trees down. ;) Anrie (talk) 07:06, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unnatural... --Beyond silence 14:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are so many images with white backgrounds or fine bokehs. These too should also be considered unnatural then. Some of the panorama images have distortion which increase aesthetics, that should be considered unnatural and opposed. Photography is more than just rules. It is an art. Art has no rules. Muhammad 16:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but there are "unnatural" good images with positive "unnatural" effects and then there are the opposite. I feel this picture falls into the last category. --Aqwis (talk) 17:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A white dwarf in the AE Aquarii system

"This is an awsome illustration from NASA, as almost all NASA illustrations. As of now, no Nasa illustration is FP from what I can see. I am wondering if we want to start voting for those images as Nasa has litterally hundreds of such illustrations: robots on mars, satelites, future projects, etc. Should such works of art be notable or of great value in addition of being beautiful? After all, this is the artist's conception of an event (with some personal input such as the blue flames that may not be a real representation), not a picture of the real event itself. If we vote for this one, are we creating a precedent to every illustration that is "simply beautiful"?" --S23678 (talk) 18:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Each image should be considered on a case by case basis.. in this case, it's an artist impression and not a scientificly accurate photograph. And from that (artistical) perspective, it's imo an image of featured picture quality. A factually correct depiction of this cosmic phenomenom would be quite important in a valued image but in this case, the artist impression also has value (albeit not a scientific one). - Simeon87 (talk) 21:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
