The Commons:Deletion requests/Template:CC-Dont-Remove Watermark discussion is relevant to some degree, though the attribution text on the image description page is not equivalent to the attribution on the photo itself. Colin (talk) 11:15, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the crop made for a better pic, but if the author wants this as his form of attribution then it would violate the license terms to remove it. Saffron Blaze (talk) 14:43, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, it would not. This is a misunderstanding that results from reading only the license deed ("in the manner specified by the author or licensor), not the actual license. CC-BY-2.0, which this is released under, says in section 4b that [s]uch credit may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit. Disclaimer, I'm not a lawyer. darkweasel94 15:38, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed (pun intended), but it is easy to see where the confusion comes in. Hopefully in the next iteration of the CC license they tidy up that wording on the deed. Saffron Blaze (talk) 15:52, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Every Wikimedian is bounded by the agreement "You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license". I discussed this matter with a Creative Commons staff, and the reply was it is enough for any CC license irrespective of whether the use is in WMF projects or not.

I think most of us are happy to have the attribution moved, though the wording shouldn't change like it has here, and remember that in the case of Flickr transfers, the author bound to any Wikimedia terms of use contract at all. Colin (talk) 19:11, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think you mean to say "in the case of Flickr transfers, the author is not bound to any Wikimedia terms of use contract at all." That was the reason behind my discussion with them. If the answer was different, we can't use third party uploads in articles or galleries as we don't use attributions on those pages. So I think that answer is very important.

  •  Oppose until criteria for this sort of thing are defined. The guidelines for featured video were clearly written for documentary-style videos of a subject, whereas here the pop video is the subject. As such, the above checklist is pointless. Our guidelines for "Artworks" would appear more suitable but this is not a reproduction, rather it is the artwork. The work itself is not notable. While it may be an example of its genre, I'm struggling to see what distinguishes it in any way to make it a "featured" example of its kind. The ev is made more limited by its sexual content, which limits where it could be realistically used [This isn't a comment against hosting such content -- just that it obviously limits its value compared to some other video of the band playing]. The world is full of non-notable professional music videos -- this one's main defining feature seems to be its free licence -- and I don't think being "professional" is a sufficient condition for FP - . Colin (talk) 18:29, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • This isn't a non-notable music video, but a music video by a notable Ukrainian band (uk:Semargl). Also, we don't really deal with educational value here on Commons in such things, that is more a Wikipedia notion, what we deal with more is the technical aspects of the images/video. Also, sexual content isn't relevant in this regard either. The "checklist" by Michal Rosa above has merit. russavia (talk) 03:57, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Very few pop videos from any band are notable in themselves (to the extent, say, they could have a WP article in their native language). I highly doubt this one qualifies. So let's not claim it itself is notable. The band may well be notable, but that's another matter. The point, when comparing the "Artworks" criteria, is it fails "Notable in its own right" -- the subject isn't a great work of art that the world values and admires and comments on. The second criteria "Of high artistic merit: Works which, while not particularly well known, are none the less wonderful examples of their particular type or school of art." Again, I don't think there is anything special about this video that qualifies it on that condition. And the third possibility is "Of high historic merit" seems also unlikely. And it isn't an illustration so the last criterion doesn't apply.
      • The "ev" is an absolutely requirement on Wikipedia but is still a quality to be judged on Commons (and frequently is) -- we are a repository of educational material after all. We've rejected self-made artistic photographs and drawings before because of their limited ev even though they might do well on Flickr. The FP criteria require the picture to be "valuable" and in that sense it is its value to use as educational material. This video can be used on the band's article would be hard to use elsewhere. If it weren't so sexual it would have more value as it could illustrate music genre articles too. So I do feel that its content limits its value to the project and that counts against it. It is professionally made, though the studio setup is low budget.
      • But more importantly, we have the fundamental difference here between reviewing a great reproduction of a subject and the subject itself. We simply haven't agreed a set of criteria for judging the latter, nor have we even agreed that such works fit into the FP process. What if a band were to release all their videos and songs with a free licence. Would we "feature" all of them automatically because they were professionally made? What if people released adverts under a free licence? On en-wp we had a current movie poster once at FP (the real digital poster, not some scan) and iirc there were copyright doubts about it and a unease we were publishing promotional material. I think the FP process needs to discuss whether such material is featurable and what criteria we should set -- merely being one of so few donations so far doesn't really cut it imo. Colin (talk) 09:43, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Colin. Further, unlike COM:POTD; COM:MOTD doesn’t require a "Featured video" as a pre requirement. So you can post it at any empty slot available there without nominating here. We rarely feature some Featured videos ; which are heavily used in WMF projectsto document something. JKadavoor Jee 00:06, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • This isn't being nominated so it can appear on the front page of Commons, it is being nominated because it is a high quality video, and meets requirements as they stand right now. Also, it is in use at uk:Semargl, and it simply requires that article to be translated into other languages and it would likely see use in those articles too. russavia (talk) 03:57, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • High quality is only a pre requirement (QI) and sometimes neglected if override by other exceptional merits. Since this is an art work, it should be “Notable in its own right”, “Of high artistic merit”, “Of high historic merit” or “Of high illustrative merit” to qualifies an FP. This is definitely a QI; but QIC accepts only works of Wikimedians now. The only notability as “the subjects of a controversy” I see here is its sexual content; but that is very common in pop videos. JKadavoor Jee 14:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saint-Joseph Bridge, Agde, France.
IMO the tree leaves give it a certain charm and for the road furniture I had tried at maximum to integrate its in the composition and I think the result is not so bad with the elements of the place. But I don't understand : this bridge is not pretty enough?!? -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:14, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can certainly see you tried hard with composition -- it isn't random. The path through the bridge, with the fence leading the eye, is a nice device, but the shadows on the path and past the bridge don't help the eye to follow or give any reward for looking through the arch. Perhaps if the sandy path was in full sunlight, it would lead the eye better. Only a third of the bridge is in light or clear of trees. Colin (talk) 12:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that that's not so much a feeling as a fact, as these areas have a color value of 1 and therefore do not show any structure, shading or detail any more. Ideally, in such a situation, a slightly underexposed photo can be taken and then brightened to this brightness in RAW-processing, only leaving the brightest areas untouched and thereby making sure they aren't clipped. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 12:36, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Paisley Abbey from North West
  • What Suncalc doesn't show you is that to my right/rear is Paisley Town Hall. A huge building that would cast most of the grounds and abbey into shadow for the date/time you suggest. For a 3d object, there are various lighting directions that put some faces into light and some into shadow. Lighting from behind the camera might have fewest faces in shadow (assuming no obstacles like a town hall) but will also be completely flat, so many of the carved details will be far less clear. I have taken some pictures further round, which are in full light, but obviously are of a different view. Will try to upload them this week. Ideally, I'd also want to be further back to minimise the wide-angle effect, but you can see that the two street lamps would then obscure the abbey when taken at ground level. What I need is a big crane.... Colin (talk) 11:36, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Because it is. Paisley's own "leaning tower of Pisa" the western gable leans disconcertingly and is quite wonky. See this frame that made up the above picture, taken with the camera level and is unadjusted. See also this shot from straight-on, showing how it leans to the side too. And there's this Geograph photo take side-on.
  2. The lamp-post leans the other way. Damn that lamp post.
  3. The wide angle of view doesn't help. A wide angle rectilinear view (whether from lens or projection) "corrects" x/y-axis vertical and horizontal perspective "distortion" but doesn't adjust perspective in the z-axis (depth). The effect causes the near corner to look more dominant than reality and the far corners to recede more than reality. For an extreme example, see St Pancras Station. The only solution is to get further back, but that has its own problems with lamp posts and statues and trees obscuring the subject. This is the furthest I can get, for this viewpoint, while still getting an unobstructed view.
  4. Most views of the abbey have a degree of vertical perspective "distortion" -- the verticals lean inwards -- which nicely masks the issue. -- Colin (talk) 07:20, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Like the details in lights; but don't like too see an entire side on shadows. I can see the details in a larger view; it is disappointing in a smaller size. Do you have the view from the opposite side? I would like to evaluate again after seeing your other views that you had promised to upload later. JKadavoor Jee 04:39, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I will try my best to get them soon. Colin (talk) 07:20, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Support After seeing all the views. JKadavoor Jee 16:37, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak  Support Very difficult to evaluate. On the pro site: The quality is really good, the stitch (I guess) quite complex (did you use a nodal point adapter?), the level of detail is (not surprisingly) VERY good with 125 MP. Contra: The photo looks not really appealing in thumbnail size, the lightning is unfortunate (more than a half of the building is in shadow). If it would be only 16 MP I had definitely voted with contra. But all in all your great work should be honored and the high level of detail is very useful for educational usage. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:10, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Tuxyso. I think this subject benefits from the detail as there are so many features to explore. For example, at the nearest corner of the tower is a carved face with hair like the Wella logo, which wouldn't even register as a dot on a normal photo. I agree the lighting isn't optimal but I don't live there so can't keep visiting at any date/time, and one can't guarantee the weather on the west-coast of Scotland. Pictures on a rainy overcast day might be useful but (understandably) people don't tend to go wow then. Perhaps next year I'll be luckier, or perhaps it will be covered in scaffolding...
I took the picture by hand. Perhaps Santa will get me a panoramic head, though then I have to use a tripod which isn't always easy in a town centre. There weren't many stitching errors to fix - just those two lamp-posts had parallax problems which were fairly easy to fix by hand blending layers. I use Smartblend with Hugin, which I find does a miraculous job at choosing where to make a hidden seam between the frames.
I've uploaded another different view: File:Paisley Abbey from the west.jpg. Only 64 MP but 180 degree view and a Panini projection that worked really well imo. I may nominate that one, but have some gargoyles to accompany it that I want to upload first -- one of which is an Alien. And I have yet more views from the opposite side, but need to work on them first. -- Colin (talk) 10:51, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree the garden is over-exposed and if the raw is available I would suggest experimenting with locally reducing it there. One counter-argument might be that if one's eyes are adjusted to the dark room, then the outside will appear over-bright, though only for a short while till they adjust.

    • Sorry, but I cannot really follow your arguments. Your formulation "Very poor lightning" does imho not carefully considering the photo. BTW: There are some shadows (look at the Half Dome). The main motive here is the overall Yosemite formation (moutains + valley). Light at midday is not "very bad" because the complete valley AND the montains are lightened without extreme shadows. My main purpose here was do to a very detailed documentary image of the valley and surronding mountains and for that case midday is for me the better time of day than the more atmospheric light in the morning or in the evening. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:42, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Diliff has created some lovely pictures of this with sunset lighting (File:Glacier Point at Sunset, Yosemite NP, CA, US - Diliff.jpg and File:Half Dome from Glacier Point, Yosemite NP - Diliff.jpg). However those capture a different area (though still have the Half Dome and there are some nice waterfalls to the right of the Half Dome that would have been good to include). Our purpose on this project is educational material, not to create postcards or panoramic posters to sell from the tourist shop. While lovely lighting and picture-postcard images are fantastic to have and rightly featured, we should also support those attempting to provide "detailed documentary images" (as Tuxyso puts it) where the lighting supports detailed study rather than being merely attractive. The Internet is full of "downsized for web" highly processed picture-postcard images with watermarks and restrictions that look fantastic but don't have great educational use because you can't study any details and you can't republish them for free.
However, I'm reluctant to support for now because I think the image is significantly titled in the area of the Half Dome and below. Compare Diliff's pictures. The trees are a giveaway. I think it is important for such geologically interesting formations, to get it straighter than this. Colin (talk) 09:13, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your detailled assesment. What do the others think about the perspective? Visually I see no significant tilt. But for sure it was aligned but Hugin and you have no real verticals here for orientation. If there a really perspective problems I guess I have to manually influence the stitching process. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:22, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I took a crop of the right-hand side and opened it in Irfanview. Then took Diliff's Half Dome picture and reduced it 80% in size. Yours and his can then be aligned up to be surprisingly similar apart from the lighting. Yours is a little fatter horizontally, but that's to be expected from projection changes. Using the selection rubber-band rectangle tool, I drew a vertical from the pointed tip of the Half Dome down the a light patch in the rocks far below. Then rotated yours -4.5 degrees to get it the same. The mountain range on the far right still doesn't come up as high as Diliff's, requiring another degree perhaps, but then the dome is rotated too far. Another comparison is looking at the craggy peak to the left of the dome compared to the distant range to the right. In Diliff's these are almost level, whereas in yours the right is far below. However, to show how hard this is, I can compare Diliff's half dome with his wider pano. To do this, reduce the half dome by 45% instead. You will then see his wider pano is significantly tilted anti-clockwise , making the right hand mountain range much higher than the left.
Overall your pano does show the right hand mountain range curving downwards where perhaps it should be closer level with the left. A 4.5 degree tilt is quite a lot, assuming Diliff's half dome is correct. Colin (talk)
  •  Support Very nice. I disagree about the poor lighting statement. When viewed at full size, the walls have nice texture and relief, and there are walls in many different directions, so it's difficult to have a perfect hour to frame it all, probably not so difficult for a "detail" shot, e.g. the Dome only. I'm not sure about the scale (how high the walls are would be very useful in the description) but there must be some climbers in it, I couldn't find any, they must be two or three pixels. --Kadellar (talk) 12:21, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • You are right. I have seen them with field glasses and also made a short video sequence where you can see them moving.
      @Colin: I am unsure about the right perspective. Later I will nominate an alternative with a manually modified projection where I tried to adress your comments. But the stitiching is very time intensive. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:32, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose After certain considations I am not fully convinced of this photo. My question if this is an HDR aroused because it looks as if you've photographed against the light. The consequence is that the sky is quite bright and, as Daniel stated, somehow distracting. All buildings are in unfortunate shadow. This photo could have been better at a different time of the day.

Paisley Abbey from the west
Thanks. I'm working on one from the south-east (which isn't as good as this), I don't have a south-west. The Abbey is more than just the main church building -- as a former monastery, the adjacent buildings, court and cloisters are all significant components, which are visible from this angle. I think the markings on the pavement of Abbey Close form nice leading lines towards the subject, and this angle suits a Panini projection (diagonal lines from a central perspective point). -- Colin (talk) 09:37, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well I can't please everyone it seems. -- Colin (talk) 12:02, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think it would look better with more crop on the right side. There isn't really much to see on that side, and the main subject on this version is much further left than at the "rule of thirds" division. darkweasel94 10:57, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On the right is the the Anchor Mills building, a Grade A Listed building and important to Paisley's history. So I'd like to keep it. The subject is the entire Abbey complex, including St Mirrin's chapel and the Palace of Paisley, the memorial cross in the courtyard and the cloisters round it. The main tower is actually to the right of the "rule of thirds", should one care about such regulations. The symmetrical leading lines point towards the courtyard of the Abbey -- a symmetry that would be lost if the right is cropped. Colin (talk) 12:02, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I understand correctly your question (I'm not sure about that), you ask me why I did not take a front view of the lighthouse =
1/ Because of the sun light, with this centring the sun is in my back (with the front view the left half of the lighthouse is in a dark area) so why I did not come back at a different hour, because I wanted a photo with this particular light and also see answer 2.
2/ Because I wanted to include the entire boat in backgroud at right

  •  I withdraw my nomination Yes, you're right, I've nominated it for the quality, but the composition is not working. I had come this day there to take exactly the photo which you have just described, but in my great disappointment they put a panel on the left of the lighthouse to announce a construction site and it was impossible to make an attractive photo of the whole lighthouse, then I contented with trying semi-close-ups.

Yes, but the top of the Giant Shiva Linga is also overexposed, it's burned out and you can't see it in the histogram because there is nothing more in this area -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:45, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing more in this zone except white light and this light is not considered as overexposed by your software. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:51, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Since this is a single-exposure frame and the light is directly falling on the top of it, I am not sure what can be done. Considering this is a very small area of the frame and no interesting details where present there either, I guess, it should not be a bother --Dey.sandip (talk) 17:58, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orchis punctulata
There is no crop at the top (there is some at the bottom though); this is the way I photographed it. I find the composition appealing. The emphasis here is more on the individual flowers and their arrangement than on the shape of the entire inflorescence. Gidip (talk) 19:31, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I Agree with Tuxyso. Gidip (talk) 22:21, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't see a problem, maybe you can pinpoint a specific part of the image that is problematic? Are you sure you are looking at the more recent version I uploaded from Oct first? Gidip (talk) 12:12, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was looking at the most recent version. I marked a few areas where it's the most obvious, but it's spread relatively evenly across the background. There are many 4x4-pixel-blocks visible. The problem would probably not be noticeable if you would use the full histogram, but the lower 5-7% aren't used. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 12:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see it now. It happens to me often in images with dark background. If you can explain how to avoid this I would really appreciate. I didn't really understand what you said about the histogram. Any simple manipulation in Photoshop or CaptureNX to fix this? Thanks. Gidip (talk) 17:03, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I neither own nor use either of these programs, so that's slightly difficult. Maybe someone else can help. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 20:59, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua Tree National Park with apporaching thunderstorm front
  • IMHO it is OK that they fight for attention (for me the rock in the foreground is much more eye-catching). Both element, giant rocks and Joshua Trees, are characteristic elements of the park. Cropping out the Joshua Tree would destroy the dramatic atmosphere (clouds), cropping out the foreground rock would destroy the central idea of the composition: sun-lightened rock in the foreground vs. dramatic apporaching thunderstorm. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:01, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The translation of the answer of Ritchyblack from my talk page:
My missing English language skills are the reason why I do not vote for other photos here. Notably for negative votes an in detail justification is very important for further discussion. Positive statements for photos without any explanatory comment seem to be also odd to other users. To the core of your question: On flight shows and car races I photograph with a monopod and ball head. I use the Sigma 50-500 lens with image stabilizer never at open apperture of f5.6/6.3 but at a minimum of f8. On my D700 I prefer higher ISO values instead of open apperture shots. The optimum shutter speed for propeller-driven aircrafts is from my experience between 1/125sec to 1/350sec to preserve the movement of the propeller on the photo. I always expose in manual mode with activated Auto ISO function for compensation of varying brightness. The apperture is oriented to the bright areas on the photo. For exposure measurement I use the spot or integral method to get a rough value for the contrast ratio of the scene. Very often I still use a light meter and other photographers smile at me for that. Compared to the other (smiling) photographers I do not look permantely on the camera display for checking the correct exposure of my photos. I shoot in Nikon RAW format (NEF) import the photos in Lightroom and convert them to the manufacturer-independent Adobe DNG format. The development of the RAW files is done in Lightroom for 98% of my photos. Very important is switch on the lens correction profiles especially for the Sigma lens mentioned above to eliminate its strong vignetting. --Tuxyso (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mercedes-Benz at IAA 2013 in Frankfurt, Germany
This image shows the light effects and the rush at exhibiton hall of Mercedes-Benz at IAA 2013 in Frankfurt and this featured image also shows only two colors. ;-) -- Wolf im Wald (de) 19:54, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And what can you tell us about that architecture based on this photo alone? Daniel Case (talk) 04:46, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can see the rough layout of this area of the hall, I see how light and colour is used for a dramatic presentation of the cars, I see how the visitors have access to an area all around the presentation area, going up via the escalator on the right and then back down using slopes (which is very similar to the Mercedes-Benz museum in a way). I also see that the roof is built in the shape of a dome but not lit at all to give the impressin of a very high room, making it almost but not completely invisible. On the right, an LED screen is used to imitate the look of a draped red curtain (thanks to sufficient resolution to see individual pixels). All parts of the building itself are clearly deconstructivist in their architecture. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 07:50, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, what I see is an abstraction of discordant shapes in red and black into which the Daimler-Benz logo has somehow wandered. It is artistic, perhaps, but not an effective picture for an encyclopedic article. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Paisley Abbey New Gargoyles
  •  Info created by Colin - uploaded by Colin - nominated by Colin -- Colin (talk) 18:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I'm nominating this as a poster rather than a set as the images individually are smaller than the size threshold. These gargoyles were created in 1991 to replace those that had worn-away over the centuries. The set includes "see no evil", "speak no evil", "hear no evil" and an "alien". I Hope you enjoy them! -- Colin (talk) 18:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment One frame is rather unsharp (note added). --Ivar (talk) 18:44, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It isn't as sharp as the others, I agree. I was hand-holding at 300mm (450mm full-frame equivalent), iso 400, f/5.6 and 1/320s. I guess either my Sony SteadyShot let me down, or the gargoyle moved. I tried to take a few shots of each but for some reason this one only had one shot. He's not downsampled, so the flaws aren't hidden. -- Colin (talk) 19:06, 14 October 2013 (UTC) Actually, I do have another one of this taken a few minutes later. I'd bumped the iso up to 800 and the sun came out so took them again at 1/2000s. However, there isn't any more detail in that one (due to the higher iso I guess) and the sunlight makes hard shadows and warmer colours so he wouldn't fit into the set. :-( Colin (talk) 19:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After some tweaking, he did actually have much more detail than the first unsharp one. Hope this is enough. Colin (talk) 20:07, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support now. I like the idea of composing a single image from different figures. With no 8 a more frontal shot (with more face) had been better but the sharpness is now OK. Probably your idea will become a pattern for similiar shots. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Diego Simeone during a news conference after a football game as coach of Atlético de Madrid.
  •  Comment I don't think it's a distracting background, it's just a typical background for a press conference for sports games (this is the one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMM_W9QvSQ8), so I think it's describing a common moment of a manager's work, and it's quite unfocused. Crop might be tight at left side, but not at the rest of places. Must it be someone special to be FP? Since when? Besides, it is someone special for thousands of football fans in Spain, Italy and Argentina, because he was a good player and he's doing great as a manager. --Kadellar (talk) 16:37, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't say he wasn't special, just that this photo doesn't make him look like he is. And yes, the background at the press conference may be the sort of thing he must often be photographed in front of, but that still doesn't make it any less of a distraction. Daniel Case (talk) 02:00, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think that the background is a key part of the story being telled by the picture, and it is reasonably well blurred. That and his facial expression give the clue that the guy has his complete attention on a question being asked. Tight crop is also welcome IMHO as it helps the viewer concentrate on the important part: the face. Barcex (talk) 13:37, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Without someone telling me he's being asked a question, I had no idea that's what was going on. As it is, his facial expression could just as easily be read the way I did—as if he's had an entirely too long day and is staring off into the distance from fatigue.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
To quote the criteria:
"Value – our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that:
almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing, and most such pictures are not in essence different from others,
night-shots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime,
beautiful does not always mean valuable."
Perhaps the criteria should be amended to spell out what this "value" is. From our Welcome page:
"Wikimedia Commons is a media file repository making available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content."
The "value" is surely its use as "educational media content", rather than stock images for inspirational posters or for postcards, say. -- Colin (talk) 11:26, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Support For the value : the kind (species) of trees on the bank can be much more interested than Alien's head for someone I think (not for you certainly), friendly -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 12:10, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I don't think it lacks educational value (if it did we'd delete it). And I don't think it has so little such value that I'd oppose. Just indistinguishable from the other Estonian lake photographs because they all lack any context/surroundings. Colin (talk) 12:29, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the lakes you have cited are look alike, it's an other very important and valuable information for geographer or others scientifics, thanks to have emphasing that. .We are going to put out mountains in Estonia to help Ivar for it's FP. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:36, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And to help Colin to distinguish the photos of Ivar -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:01, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
One only has to look at Ivar's other pictures to know there is plenty scenic variation in Estonia and a variety of composition options. This is exactly the same composition, lighting and subject (give or take) as the other two FPs. I'm currently reading a book on outdoor photography with lots of pictures from both Scotland and from Estonia and none of them are the same. Colin (talk) 18:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What a pity this commonness of these lakes, Ivar cannot make a book of photos with these lakes. Maybe only an educative book on these lakes becauses the photos are very good. Question : if I find a similar lake in my country, It is not necessary that I get bored to photograph it, you saw those there? It will be only a "sunset" of more? -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:44, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Christian, judging the value of this picture is as subjective as judging the composition or the lighting. All these aspects are absolutely part of the FP criteria (despite what Ralf said) yet are personal opinions. I respect your opinion, and I ask you to respect mine, not to mock it. Thank-you. Colin (talk) 18:58, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
To respect your opinion and not to mock it? yes ok but what is it? Your first comment : "Pretty but not strong educational value" your second comment  : "Oh I don't think it lacks educational value". I don't understand your opinion. Me, my opinion is that it's not the same lake so all these pictures are valuable, there is nothing more to add. Me, my opinion is if Ivar or someone else photograph all the lakes in earth with exactly the same light and exactly the same composition, I sign right now and I think Commons will be winner and this is objectively and not subjectively. It is also just my opinion and you can also respect my opinion. It's you who had answer my first comment, it was not necessary because it was also only my opinion and I repeat it : "For the value : the kind (species) of trees on the bank can be much more interested than Alien's head for someone I think (not for you certainly), friendly". Now, if you write another comment, be sure me too. Really friendly -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:15, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah! I forgot, don't worry, a little of hot pepper in the discussion is not so bad (IMO), and I thank you very much for this exchange -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:26, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah! I forgot, if you add comment, me too, have I alraidy say it? -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying the image isn't "valuable" as though that was something an image either has or has not. It is not a binary measure. Of course there is value in this image and we will differ as to how much we see. If Ivar wants to take 1000 images the same of different lakes then Commons is a "winner" as you say. Like QI is filled with hundreds of similar pictures of trains, though I assume they are different trains. However, the FP criteria require "pictures should be in some way special" and discourages pictures that "are not in essence different from others". I think after two nearly identical FPs, the third is no longer special enough for FP. Others clearly disagree. We can discuss opinions and disagree without mocking. Colin (talk) 20:54, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but it's not mocking it's juts my answers. I ask you once again : so because there is "two nearly identical FPs", if I find a lake in my region with the same light and without a mountain in background (or some exotic thing like in your book), it's not necessary that I nominate it to FPC (have you a book of my region, I begin to be afraid that my photos do not correspond to the idea that you are made about my region) (is it mocking? if yes, it's you the first who compare our candidate pictures to your book)? Or another question, if the picture candidate of Ivar was in Italy, or USA, could we compare these images between her?. If no why do you compare theses images of different lakes (only because you see just lake, bank and sky or light : it's only a lake!!!) or from which distance between the lakes it's acceptable to have another FP like the both cited. All these questions are serious, can you answer correctly? Now I go to job, see you later -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:29, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if it is a good idea to intervene your heated discussion but I rather try it: I am on Colin's side that there should be a certain variation of motives and compositions with FPCs. In the past I got much bored by the 1000th NASA FPC and sometimes voted with oppose. Another example are the excellent shell photos by Llez. They have surely a high EV (for biologists) but do seldom include enough Wow for me to support on FPC - such images are better placed on VI or on the language-specific FPCs. The only flaw in Colin's argumentation is to take "value" or "educational value" as argument against yet another Estonian sea reflection photo. Especially in the German Wikipedia terms like "educational value" or "encyclopedic additional benefit" are taken as justification for everything if someone does not like a photo. As I've argued there such (scientific) terms pretend an objectivity which does not exist for photos. It would be more honest to say that one does not like a photo or got bored because it is the third very similar shot - on FPC an eligible reason for declining a photo. Let us talk about excellent photos and not about value which no one can measure. --Tuxyso (talk) 06:22, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Tuxyso. I agree the focus on ev as the only or main issue is perhaps misplaced especially as it may be loaded with other meaning for wikipedias. Like my last comment above, it is less special because it is so similar to the last two. For a re-user, these three are largely interchangeable images of Estonian lakes in autumn, which says something about their value to the project to me, but to someone else they may judge value differently. All three are very good individually, and I'm not discouraging anyone from taking and uploading such a picture. But three identical pictures is not what FP is about. I do think opinions on "value" are important however, and our varied opinions on this make FP interesting and the reason why we want !votes from so many different people. But such opinions are from the gut and I don't think picking them apart with forensic precision is a useful exercise. Colin (talk) 07:58, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I agree your point about valued, it's subjective, and in more I did not speak the first one on about the valued. So I have the right to answer about that and for me it's the most valuable AND nice picture of Lake Niinsaare in Wikimedia, on internet (and maybe in the world?), so it give it a big, big value, I think. Interchangeable images of Estonian lakes? is it a joke? I will try to not mock about this sentence. Different Lakes are not interchangeable, different shells are not interchangeable, different butterflies are not interchangeable. But maybe we can widen this reasoning, you could say "Interchangeable images of Northern Europpean lakes" or "Interchangeable images of Europpean lakes", where is the limit please, be more precise, is my region concerned? You have not to compare two pictures of two different shells species, You have not to compare two pictures of two different butterflies species, You have not to compare two pictures of two different castles, You have not to compare two pictures of two different Lakes. And You have not to compare any picture to your book picture (is there a photo of this specific lake in your book?). You can oppose for not WOW, ok, for the poverty of the composition (in your opinion), ok, I agree. But if you talk about valued and subjectively, and you did, it give me the right to me to be also a bit subjective and to say that I said in my first comment. You have promoted in the past excellent shell photos and now you are tired about that, please what is the precise number of featurable images of shells, butterflies, castles and other lakes? Can you be more precise. If you want you can oppsose but if you talk about value you have not the right but the duty to be objective before to be subjective and to not compare different subjects. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As I said before, I don't think picking people's opinions apart with forensic precision is a useful exercise. Your long argument about interchangeable just sounds like argument for argument sake to me. These images are, to me, largely identical. That's just a quick judgement. Perhaps you see a significant difference. Perhaps you view this image more valuable and special than I do. I respect that and am not trying to change your mind. One interesting thing to me is that one can visit different lakes and yet still come away with an identical picture. Perhaps that says something about Estonia or it says something about the kind of image Iifar wants to get. Which is fine. Christian, I haven't opposed this picture. I made a comment. I haven't tried to ridicule your opinion as you have mine, so please stop. I'm unwatching. Colin (talk) 12:09, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
I'm fairly sure these are sharpening halos and look to me about the level advised (in books like The Digital Negative) for printing but a little too much for screen. However, that advice is for the final copy at a resolution to be viewed. Do they disappear when the image is reduced down to standard display size or even pro 27" or retina displays? Unfortunately, no. I agree such a calming picture doesn't warrant razor sharpness. So I would recommend reducing the sharpening if you processed the raw. If this is an out-of-camera JPG then we're stuck I guess. That said, I'd deeply envious of this image and wouldn't consider opposing over such a technicality. Not only is the sun perfectly aligned, but, as Tuxyso notes, the lamps along the pier align with the hills. The long 4s exposure has nicely smoothed the sea without losing all detail (per the current fad for unreal milky-soft sea/sky). -- Colin (talk) 10:04, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have the raw so I will give it a look, but if these were sharpening halos why aren't all the sets of cables affected? It seems to be happening to just the brightly backlit ones so I just assumed an effect caused by the sun's glow on the cables and the long exposure. Saffron Blaze (talk) 14:58, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All cables have halos. The extremely strong halos are only on the thick ones, because the thin ones aren't fully black (don't have such a high contrast im comparison to the background). It's not possible that the sun, in this position, could generate any glow around a steel cable, let alone on both sides. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 15:06, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I notice on upload the first edit was considerably darker than the original so I adjusted the second edit to be more like the original. You are right though they are both fine. Not sure which I prefer. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:47, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The tree isn't sufficiently isolated from its surrounds to make a great specimen, nor is the composition particularly interesting to achieve sufficient wow. The lighting is also quite hard. But what have you done to it in post? It looks like the image has been oversharpened. The fine twigs are twigs are jaggy with each pixel step and there's a pattern over the lower-left tree. There's so much colour noise dancing about the edge of the tree which mysteriously vanishes out in the sky. Have you turned off the colour noise reduction in Lightroom? The default of 25 (at least in my LR4) is usually required -- all digital photos have colour noise, even at iso 100, that needs suppressed. Have you painted over the sky with NR or blur -- it is hard to do this convincingly with an erratic outline. I suggest you try instead reducing sharpening considerably and using a bit of Lightroom's sharpening mask slider to avoid sharpening noise in the sky. When you adjust Lighrtoom's sharpening sliders, hold down Alt to get a black-and-white view that helps you visualise the effect better. -- Colin (talk) 11:49, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done New version with lighting less hard, none sharpening, none noise reduction in the sky, only "a bit of Lightroom's sharpening mask slider to avoid sharpening noise in the sky". Yes, first time I had turned off the colour noise reduction and also painted over the sky with NR. Anyway thanks for advices. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:40, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I don't like the overlapping-dome composition. There are better composition arrangements in Category:Dome of Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre. The building to the front-right looks good and natural, but the rear dome and the building to the front left have too much local contrast. This might be unfortunate lighting but might also be overprocessing. Either way, the rear dome is blown in places so there is no detail to the brickwork. The contrast between the blown yellow-lit brickwork and the saturated blue sky makes the picture look less real. The top of the dome is blurred, though I appreciate it is quite some way away -- I can't comment on whether the aperture could have been smaller as there's no EXIF data. Which is another issue: the file has no colour profile defined or embedded, so may appear different colours on everyone's PC or mac. I think an FP should have professional standards here, and so expect an sRGB profile for web usage. Any quality program designed for editing photographs should be able to save JPGs properly with a suitable profile. -- Colin (talk) 18:05, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

US Capitol east side at sunrise
This is the first time for me to renominate a formerly unsuccessful FP candidate. But I definitely want to give it another try, considering that the image had already gathered six supporting votes with only one vote opposing. I really like this photo. The circumstances of the shot were not easy at all, and I'm quite happy with the result. So.... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 20:40, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dirt heap
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: neither the subject nor its presentation are interesting in any way. 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.
