Nomination denied. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines because only two active nominations per user are allowed. --Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:40, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Question - are the nomination guidelines available in Arabic? I guess that Ghabara may not have understood them fully - MPF (talk) 15:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, there isn't an Arabic version of this FPC's rules yet (apparently the Arabic FPC is pretty different), but Ghabara can communicate in English. We just have a case n00b-itis here. --IdLoveOne (talk) 22:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was, but it was really hard for me to look at that poor bear (I saw dozens of them in a wild), at his yellow fur, and a sick look. Polar bears are beautiful animals, and this one... it looks like he is in pain. Anyway you are right. I let my personal feelings about this poor caged bear to prevail. Sorry about this.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing to be sorry about! I agree that ethics is a factor to [polar!] bear in mind when considering FPC - MPF (talk) 09:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, nothing wrong with having ethics, and it could be argued anyway that if someone was going to take a zoo photo it could show the animal more interesting than just sitting there. This one looks more lazy than like he's suffering to me, though. --IdLoveOne (talk) 14:38, 24 September 2010 (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: because this same picture, with a different name, is already featured in Commons -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:20, 2 October 2010 (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.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Oppose This image has to much light (look like washed out - per Maurilbert) and some parts are blurry (but blurry is a minor problem for me). But the composition is good (aesthetically). This is a problem of digital sensors.. it is better to have dark images and add light later rather to have an image full of light (it is hard to darken it afterwards).

A whale with the marks of great white sharks
It is not just an interesting subject, but quite unique subject too. The other image of the bites marks
is used in w:great white shark article. It is not a common subject --Mbz1 (talk) 20:20, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As a matter of fact you're visiting FPC so very rarely , that you added your note to a wrong place. It should be added to a nomination, and not to an image, but you came here not to review the image, and you know that.--Mbz1 (talk)
The most important thing, the subject of the image is a whale, or rather the mark of the bites of great white sharks. The whale was not retouched. The ocean was. There were a big waves that day, and it is all, but impossible to stitch the waves automatically. I did my best in stitching those waves, and I believe I have done a good job, but once again, the subject of the image is the whale, and the marks of shark bites.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:07, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Will you please add note to the nomination? But I very much doubt there's one. If there were alvesgaspar and/or lycaon would have noticed it.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:21, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I would like to ask everybody, who is here to review the image, if you'll see a stitching error, please do not oppose it right away, but add a note (not to the image, but to the nomination). Please also notice that the subject of the image is not the waves. One more time, I would like to stress out that the subject is quite unique, very rare to see, has a great EV, and reviews like "Anyway, decaying sea animals on the beach are not the most appealing subjects" should not be taken in the account.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:55, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Looks good to me. I think its a great subject, and a very valuable and unique picture, too. Who cares if it isn't a butterfly on a flower? I'd honestly rather see a decaying whale, which is a very interesting subject matter that isn't something you see everyday (a big factor, I would think, in whether or not something is worth featuring). As for the stitching, I understand why manipulations on the ocean had to be done, and I fail to see why that's a deterrent; the subject in intact and looks good (not that type of good...), while the ocean is an ocean, and isn't a big factor in the image. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 03:05, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'll note the imperfect source for the id, quoting a marine biologist, says Sei (B. borealis) or Bryde's (B. brydei) [doh! Fin (B. physalus)] or Blue hybrid. I imagine the boffin blathering on about uncertain taxonomy of the genus, and the reporter seizing on rare and hybrid to fill the column, but noting it as a species of w:Balaenoptera is probably reasonable. Beached whales are not rare, neither is being chewed round the edges before they land. Questions: This was taken with the same camera that produced the image at the Great White article? Is it possible to see the source without retouching? Where is the citation that states it was that shark species, or is that assumed? cygnis insignis 18:11, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, beached whales are more or less rare, and appear only in some regions, even at ocean shores. I live 10 minutes walk from the ocean. I see a beach wale about 1 time in 2-3 years in 40 miles radius from my home. It was only second time I saw a whale with the bites by a great white shark, or any shark for that matter at all. I saw elephant seals with the bites of sharks. All the images were taken with the same camera. Also amazing were the huge bites taken out of the whale that experts said were from great white sharks. I am not sure why do you need to see the source files.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:26, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't cite that source, good copy is the priority. I can't cite you until you are published and reviewed, but dead and dying whales turn up on beaches more often than other regions, if not always. I see and hear of them in my immediate vicinity many times a year, I've never thought to photograph them, is there an audience for deserted and dying humpback calves. This used to drive the locals nuts, keeping them awake all night with their wailing until somebody went out and shot it. Stinking up our favourite beach isn't much fun either. I had the idea that making the original data available was sop, at least for restoration, and I fancied having a look after I zoomed up on the retouched file. Is it impolite to ask, ignore me if it is. cygnis insignis 19:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I count four in the last three months, on beaches I can see from my window. One was 'resting' in the harbour for a fortnight, then was blown up; again, I didn't think to get a snap of that. BTW, you should add a warning about touching dead mammals, not a good idea. Rarity is not a consideration here. cygnis insignis 20:09, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose the image of the Frecce Tricolori that you intend to get featured does not show the formation with their traditional colours. displaying the national colours of italy is what makes them so remarkable. the blurry bush seems rather distracting here and does not improve the composition. i would be glad if you could provide another picture showing the colours at this size. using digital image editing - removing the fauna will be the least problem. regards, --Peter Weis (talk) 19:48, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • What do you mean by their traditional colours? This? As far as I know, the F.C. had never had this kind of livery on the MB-339. And if you want to remove the tree - sorry, no deal. Wolf (talk) 19:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • their traditional colours / national colours of italy refers to the green-white-red smoke trails as seen on other pictures. my point is not about the planes' colours - i opposed because i think showing the Frecce Tricolori without those smoke trails does not cope with what they are renowned for. if reviewed at 100% sharpness and detail could be better as well. for this is not an image showing a historical singularity an image featuring all the aspects mentioned here could still be created. think of someone who is not into aviation and does know about the Frecce Tricolori - which composition would be better to explain what is seen on the picture? --Peter Weis (talk) 08:05, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh, the smoke, now I understand. Honestly, no, they are not renowned for the colour of the smoke. They're simply not. You could say that Patrulla Águila is, in a sense, because they're the only team to use yellow smoke. And mind you, this is not Wikipedia the Commons FPs do not need to be educational in the strict sense. And there is never an indication of what a particular image is supposed to illustrate. The argument would, however, be perfectly valid for valued images, that is where we pay attention to how the image illustrates a given topic. There due to the reasons you mentioned, I'd oppose the picture myself. Wolf (talk) 08:12, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • i think there is always an indication of what a particular image is supposed to illustrate. it first of all is image itself: the level of detail you can perceive, the movement within the image, the way the image was shot concerning technical aspects. the question one needs to ask oneself is: what does this picture tell me? does it tell about the aircraft type? not really, shape is visible, but technical details are not. does it tell about the formation they fly? yes it does - to a certain degree, film could do better to give a illustration of what they are able of. speaking of the connection of colour and Frecce Tricolori - i think it is the same with Patrulla Águila. they do formations including their national colours as well. that was my point. after having seen several picture of the Frecce Tricolori, visiting their website and browsing through the article i got the impression that this what they are renowned for. but alright, you are the guy who's into aviation. i would be very glad if you could get me the part of the guideline where it says, the Commons FPs do not need to be educational in the strict sense, i did not find it so far.--Peter Weis (talk) 14:17, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • And where does it say that an image has to be educational? That's exactly the point that EV is absent from the guidelines altogether. Commons FP (as opposed to Wikipedia FP) deals with the image itself, not the image in the context of a particular article. And as for colours, the truth is that most stunts are done with white smoke, the colours are mostly reserved for fly-bys and some formation manoeuvres. Wolf (talk) 15:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • after digging deeper and deeper in the mine of understanding, i unearth your idea here. besides colours or not, besides educational value or not - what is the aspect of this image that makes you think it deserves featured picture status, what makes it convincing?--Peter Weis (talk) 16:07, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • I like the diagonal composition and - as mentioned below - the idea of the planes popping out from behind the cover as if in a low level air raid. By the way, I've just nominated a picture with high (I think) educational value. You can consider it to have a dedication just for you Really, no hard feelings.

  •  Comment but looks like a waste of resources to re-upload the image, just because somebody want to nominate it as a feature picture. The rule doesn't prevent re-nomination.. I believe that you are right.. But has this been discussed before? Before most of us believe that something is nominated once. And if re-nomination is allowed.. should be clearly mentioned in the rules.. and this should not be done by re-uploading the image with different name (waste of resources to have duplicate identical images). Ggia (talk) 18:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • But the image was not uploaded as a new version... It is the same image! As for re-nominating a picture, the practise was not rare in the past 2 or 3 years. It is a fair thing to do if the first nomination did not receive much attention, which is the present case. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It does not matter how much attention the picture got. Obviously the rules do not disallow renominations, so you are allowed to renominate an image as many times as you wish, even if it was rejected by a vote of 20 to 1. --Petritap (talk) 19:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment just to mention that the resolution of this image is 18.372 × 2.790 = 51.257.880 (around 50 megapixels). Looking to this image ie. 50% of the original size you don't see much noise. Ggia (talk) 22:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral the grain and gradient in the sky are removable. consider uploading an edit. be aware that displaying an image is not the only form of usage. especially if it gets to printing, noise is quite a pain. regards, --Peter Weis (talk) 00:37, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Question how the noise in the sky can be removed? Ggia (talk) 07:14, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment depends on your software. i use photoshop and a noise plugin. photoshop itself comes along with a sufficient method of noise reduction, but this plugin has proven better quality and usability. if you don't have the technical requirements to perform noise reduction, feel free to drop a line - i can take care of it. regards, --Peter Weis (talk) 07:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment thanks for the comment.. I tried neatimage.. but exif information disappeared.. the new version is updated but has half size from the original one.. Ggia (talk) 08:22, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment noise reduction most not be used on the whole image in your case. try to apply a layer mask, keeping the rest of the image unharmed. details won't get lost in non-sky areas. metadata can be reapplied: w:Exchangeable image file format#Viewing and editing Exif data or as an alternative use Template:Photo Information --Peter Weis (talk) 09:45, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I tried once more to reduce the noise from the sky appling a mask there. The image is updated. Ggia (talk) 15:59, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment severe change. the still obvious gradient is very distracting. please reconsider working on it as well. dunno whether this has to do with the light situation on the set, the specs of your equip or anything else. PETER WEIS TALK 22:15, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I uploaded a new version, with much more improvements. This image is made from the beginning directly from raw image files. The sky has no obvious gradient or noise (thanks to the comment by Peter Weis and the very good advices about denoising filter - mask - I did't know before how to remove noise from sky). The white balance I think is better now and natural (thanks to the comment by kaʁstn). The colors are more vivid, the sea is more bright and the whole image is cropped a little bit in the right (thanks to the comment by Alvesgaspar). Ggia (talk) 15:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment if you see something wrong please add a note in the image. Ggia (talk) 15:25, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment thanks for the comment.. did you try to refresh you browser.. probably you have the old version from the cache and not the new version.. In my screen it doesn't look underexposed.. I think the headland in the right part of the image is balanced with the left part (see and land). Of-course a new cropped version of this image if you want to create/suggest.. is also welcome.. Fell free to update the image if you want. Ggia (talk) 16:40, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What to you mean by "blown highlights"? And what could be done to improve the picture?--McIntosh Natura (talk) 17:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Das bedeutet, dass die hellen Stellen im Bild überbelichtet sind. Schau dir den hintersten Berg an; dessen Schneefelder sind so hell, dass sie im Bild komplett weiss sind - sprich, Helligkeitsunterschiede im Schnee sieht man nicht mehr. Der Kern des Problems ist, dass heutige Dateiformate und Bildschirme Helligkeitsunterschiede nur in einem bestimmten Bereich darstellen können, und wenn ein Bereich heller ist, kommt einfach alles als weiss raus. Du könntest nun das Bild nachträglich abdunkeln, aber das nützt nichts, da sämtliche Details in diesem Bereich bereits endgültig verloren sind. Es sei denn, du hättest noch eine dünklere Version dieses Bildes oder ein RAW-File, das idr. einen grösseren Kontrastumfang als das JPEG aufweist; dort sind die Details in diesem Bereich vielleicht noch vorhanden - Dann müsstest du aus dem RAW ein neues JPEG machen, dass dünkler ist (bzw. einen "zusammengestauchten" Kontrastumfang hat, der ins JPEG-Format rein passt). --Kabelleger (talk) 18:06, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Vielen Dank für die ausführliche Antwort, Kabelleger! Leider sind die Helligkeitsverhältnisse auch beim Originalbild nicht besser... Okay, THFSW, now I know what you mean by "blown highlights." You're right, that's a problem, thanks for pointing to that. However, I still kinda like the picture... Let's wait what others think of it.--McIntosh Natura (talk) 18:16, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I like it too. Is there any way you could reshoot with a darker sky, and combine it on this? If you can geocode it you may want to look into VIC. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "mountains of the bottom"? Can you explain that (in Spanish, if you want to)?--McIntosh Natura (talk) 23:53, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lo siento, no me expreso demasiado bien en inglés. Quería decir "las montañas del fondo", la azul y la blanca. Su contraste y claridad son excesivos para su color y definición.--Miguel Bugallo 10:41, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No hace nada. Gracias para contribuir incluso que es un esfuerzo para ti de escribir en inglés! Ahora lo comprendo: "en el fondo" en tu sentido quiere decir "in the background", "bottom" means "basa". A decir verdad a mi personalmente no me molesta que las montañas tengan demasiado azul y blanco. Pero gracias para tu contribución!--McIntosh Natura (talk) 11:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Fontaine des Quatre Parties du Monde" in Paris, détail.
  • You still have to watch out : If the work was made, say in 1865, and that the author died in 1920, then it's copyright reserved until 2020 (100 years after the artist's death in France, I believe). (Note that the dates I used are arbitrairy, just to illustrate the point that it may still be copyrighted...) -- Nicolas M. Perrault (talk) 19:15, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please have an answer here, with other photos of works of this sculptor, no more copyrighted. And don't worry, 70 years after the death of the author are really, really enough !!!

  • I'm sorry Mashaunix, but your oppose is a nonsense. It is not a "statue", as you say, but it is a fountain. I've never seen a fountain without water, because it is its purpose. Particularly this one: the horse is a "marine horse" (with a fishtail, like a siren), and you may see a dolphin spitting water...

IMO this version can considered as the same image.. it contains the same images + some more.. it is a similar issue with an image and the same cropped image as alternative. the cropped image has less info rather the non-cropped image. Ggia (talk) 12:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Neutral Foreground stitching problem fixed, still the other points that are strange imo. Sting (talk) 14:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The fix to the foreground stitching problem changed the image's dimensions, so that Sting's annotations are no longer visible to reviewers. The fixed version should have instead been added as an alternative, as in the current Svalbard nom for instance. --Avenue (talk) 11:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Question Lycaon, could you annotate the stitching errors that you found? I couldn't find any. If you can't, then I don't believe your reason for opposition is justified. LeavXC (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I like the image. This version is better than the old one (dark area in the middle removed). Stitching is difficult for a moving image like this but I think the result is quite good. --BennyJ (talk) 08:29, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose - the grafiti spoils the scene. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral If the graffiti was well cloned out well, and if the strangely-shaped haze in the upper right was corrected, I would love to vote for this. It is nicely shot with great lighting.LeavXC (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it is not a problem to clone out the graffiti, but then the image would get opposed for "improper digital manipulation". This image was really hard to take and even harder to post-process because I wanted to show the sky, the ocean and the rocks the way I saw them in real life, that beautiful and rare light and clouds, and I got it no matter that some users claim it is unnatural. It is natural and I could upload original images just from the camera to prove it by request. BTW could you please add a note for the haze you're talking about? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I annotated the top and bottoms of the haze I observed. Starting from the annotation point, The edge of the haze tapers steeply down the right, and starting from the left side of the note, the edge waves down to the surface of the below rock.LeavXC (talk) 22:47, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I'll see, if it could be improved.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:56, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • The guidelines state:
      • Digital manipulations must not deceive the viewer. Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in an image is generally acceptable provide it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive.
        • For photographs, typical acceptable manipulations include cropping, perspective correction, sharpening/blurring, and colour/exposure correction. More extensive manipulations, such as removal of distracting background elements, should be clearly described in the image text, by means of the {{Retouched picture}} template. Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable.

  •  Comment a lot of the Diliff's panos photos seems oversaturated imo. I understand that you like them.. but I find it is not polite/fruitful to make comparison of a user work with another user. Ggia (talk) 17:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment for your personal point of view all Diliff's panos photos are example of excellence. You can believe this.. Is this a general view of all the community (Diliff's panos photos are example of execelence)? The point for me is that is non-polite to compare other images with the nominations of the users.. Ggia (talk) 23:21, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Diliff's panos shown in his userpage have been promoted to WP:FP and so, they are examples of excellence for the community (not just for me). Also, this is a forum where candidates for FP are evaluated, not an exibition or a social event. In this perspective, I find perfectly adequate to compare the candidates with other images, particularly better ones. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:05, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment many users show their showcase with featured pictures.. general you can say that all the featured pictures are example of excellence.. IMO when you make comments to other user image.. you have to focus to comments concerning the aesthetics, technical details (advices to make it better) etc. As easy is to find a example of "excellence" it is easy to find a FP that is really bad. Each one has different point of view - you can see it in the nominations.. both opposes and support votes exists.. Art - aesthetics do not have limitations. Here the only limitation is the rules. Ggia (talk) 08:38, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The kind of comments a reviewer makes when evaluating a picture in FPC is his/her own business, as long as they remain within scope and address the picture, not the author. Drawing the attention to high quality images of the same kind is a valid and constructive type of comment, used often in this forum. In this particular case, Diliff's works are very instructive examples of good lighting, colouring and composition of panoramic images, and I really fail to understand why showing them to the nominator may be considered unpolite. Neither I understand the suggestion that my comments may not comply with the present rules. But if that is what you really think, maybe it is better to start a discussion in the FPC talk page. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
* All the FP are considered the finest images in commons. If you like open a discussion in FPC talk page if you believe that only some of the FP commons are example of excellence..

SHORT DESCRIPTION
 Comment There are quite a number of dust spots in the sky, on both sides. --Cayambe (talk) 05:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Fixed. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Lycaon, would you be kind enough as to give us a dissertation as to what constitutes "unfortunate lighting conditions?." I chose that particular angle just because of the lighting conditions. You see, a fully lit subject generally is flat, which would have been the case had I taken the picture from the other side, so from this perspective, the lighting creates what in photography is called "volume", thus creating the visual illusion of 3d.--Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:45, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice picture with a great encyclopedic value. I agree with you about the flatness of fully lit subjects. But when the major part (including the whole front!) of the subject remains in a rather dark shadow, that's far too much: on that point Lycaon is right when he is talking about "unfortunate lighting conditions". -- MJJR (talk) 15:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two issues here: 1) The object itself. An interesting smelter built by the Jesuits 400 years ago in a rich mining area in the state of Guanajuato, source of huge amounts of gold and silver during the colony. 2) Photographic technique. a) Exposure renders all areas in acceptable dynamic and texture ranges. b) DoF enough to give acceptable focus across the frame. c) Composition. I framed it tightly in order to depict just the subject matter. Here people are free to like it or not. d) Point of view. I chose this point of view deliveratley in order to have a diagonal perspective, and take advantage of graphic elements of photography such as countour, perspective, volume and texture. Interesting subject? For some, yes. Pretty subject? If you are a mining or structural engineer, historian, or academic, perhaps. If you are into video games, perhaps not. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:55, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment your other version look much more better [12]. May-be applying some masks to the dark (shadow) area and adding more light can enhance your image. Or if you travel-visit again this place.. try more images stitched together to panorama.. the dry landscape around seems to be interesting. Ggia (talk) 00:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Corfu island old town, Greece.

but this is old town of Corfu.. Ggia (talk) 23:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I mean that most of the buildings are really old (70 years from the birth of the architect - Corfu is in Greece not in Italy). But if I am wrong let me know. Ggia (talk) 08:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment a lot of the Diliff's panos photos seems oversaturated imo. I understand that you like them.. but I find it is not polite/fruitful to make comparison of a user work with another user. Ggia (talk) 17:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment for your personal point of view all Diliff's panos photos are example of excellence. You can believe this.. Is this a general view of all the community (Diliff's panos photos are example of execelence)? The point for me is that is non-polite to compare other images with the nominations of the users.. Ggia (talk) 23:21, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Diliff's panos shown in his userpage have been promoted to WP:FP and so, they are examples of excellence for the community (not just for me). Also, this is a forum where candidates for FP are evaluated, not an exibition or a social event. In this perspective, I find perfectly adequate to compare the candidates with other images, particularly better ones. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:05, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment many users show their showcase with featured pictures.. general you can say that all the featured pictures are example of excellence.. IMO when you make comments to other user image.. you have to focus to comments concerning the aesthetics, technical details (advices to make it better) etc. As easy is to find a example of "excellence" it is easy to find a FP that is really bad. Each one has different point of view - you can see it in the nominations.. both opposes and support votes exists.. Art - aesthetics do not have limitations. Here the only limitation is the rules. Ggia (talk) 08:38, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The kind of comments a reviewer makes when evaluating a picture in FPC is his/her own business, as long as they remain within scope and address the picture, not the author. Drawing the attention to high quality images of the same kind is a valid and constructive type of comment, used often in this forum. In this particular case, Diliff's works are very instructive examples of good lighting, colouring and composition of panoramic images, and I really fail to understand why showing them to the nominator may be considered unpolite. Neither I understand the suggestion that my comments may not comply with the present rules. But if that is what you really think, maybe it is better to start a discussion in the FPC talk page. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
* All the FP are considered the finest images in commons. If you like open a discussion in FPC talk page if you believe that only some of the FP commons are example of excellence.. And these FP pictures (that are example of excelence) should be used as an comparison example in the nominations. Ggia (talk) 18:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help me, I'm stuck!!

 Question (Sorry, perhaps I can not understand english). Why "unnatural pose", Tomascastelazo? Unfortunate lighting conditions, why? What you do not like? Do you speak of the position of the bird or of the user? I do not understand. What you suspect?: The image is the image. I can't understand. Have you a problem with Lycaon?: There are pages "User talk:...". This one is not the place. Sorry, probably I can't understand--Miguel Bugallo 16:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
