Support - Quite good. "Rialto bridge at night" is a sufficient description. As for geotagging, someone could do that, but we know where the Rialto Bridge is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:22, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too soft (aggressive noise reduction), poor lighting on the bridge (clipped whites on portals and reflections). The quality of this picture is obviously below COM:QI requirements, hence also not meeting FP standards. --A.Savin12:50, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per A.Savin. Additionally: A blue hour shot could work here but instead everything is black around the bridge. Neither is the quality there (excessive noise reduction, oversharpened, blurry off-center parts and so on), nor is this an outstanding composition in any way. I'm very surprised that we've got so many support votes nonetheless. --Code (talk) 19:18, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – I agree with Code. Blue hour is almost always better than full night in urban environments. I'll admit, I'm impressed that the exposure is as balanced as it is. –Juliancolton | Talk16:32, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question Absolutely charming :), but is there any chance of getting just a little bit more frame at the top? Just enough to get the top left little train signal not cut. I think that would also balance the photo better because of the empty space at the bottom between the tracks. Thoughts? --Cart(talk)16:12, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great, thanks. With the amount of guys here on this forum, I'm surprised we don't have any FP's of model trains (AFAICS). Think of the challenge to make it appear like a real train in a Kabelleger-esque photo. --Cart(talk)22:47, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant oppose Yes, it would be very nice to have more model-train pics, and all the stuffed animals make this one irresistibly cute, but ... there's so many discordant diagonals in the image that it takes FP out of consideration for me. Daniel Case (talk) 18:23, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know this place, but seems rather a movable object to me. This may disqualify it for being permanent in the sense of FoP laws. --A.Savin02:14, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This version is better, though you probably removed more bokeh stalks than necessary. I may be jaded by an excess of great insect closeups in not being wowed by this, but I recognize that it's a very good closeup of a bee.

Descriptions in several languages are recommended. The photo is used on two pages of wikipedia in French. It is logical that the description be first in French. I don't make pictures for FP. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 10:18, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, but when I wrote that, it appeared that the French-language description had been removed. This is a good photo, but I'm still not sure that with the color noise, it's an FP, so if someone held a gun to my head and demanded a vote, it would probably be in opposition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:39, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another crowd in India we've had featured because it was really excellent is this File:Khandoba_temple_Pune.jpg. But this one, as Uoaei1 said, is mostly visible from the back.

Oppose Great shot, love their faces! But I'll have to agree with Daniel, the background at the top is a tad too distracting for FP (although it works much better at screen size than I would have expected from the thumbnail).

Comment At first I thought it was some prop from Game of Thrones... Anyway, the Exif doesn't contain any data about the camera and it has the size at 5,472 x 3,648 px while the uploaded photo is 3,000 x 2,171 px. So the eternal question is: Do we feature something that is probably downsized or do we wait for the original file? --Cart(talk)20:09, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's a great image and since I see now that the downsizing issue apparently is relative, I'll support it too. I am a bit surprised though to find people who have previously said that downsized photos are no-go, supporting this. I would prefer it not being downsized, but if it's ok with the community, who am I to argue. --Cart(talk)10:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture candidates/File:Ponteceso - Virgen del Faro -BT- 02.jpgCommons:Featured picture candidates/File:Ponteceso - Virgen del Faro -BT- 02.jpg
Support - I like this photo. A subsidiary point: I think the English-language description is partly wrong. "Virgen del Faro" is "Virgin of the Lighthouse". I know of no word "virge" in English. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I need this issue resolved before I can support. Before voting, I want to know what I'm looking at. I can find no Wikipedia article about this, and according to Google Maps, the location (as given in the geocode) is "Nosa Señora do Faro", which doesn't tell me anything either.--Peulle (talk) 07:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ikan Kekek and Peulle, of course Virgin is correct, my fault. So I'm going to explain this place: it's the top of Monte do Faro, the Lighthouse Mountain. There have been built two constructions, one is the Lighthouse monument (Torre do Faro), the other is an old chapel. Please see here and here. The local newspaper wrote some article about it in 2009 (in Spanish). Hope this helps... Anyway, it's quite strange that there is so little information about the place because the Lighthouse column can be seen very well from the surroundings. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support, quite striking. I would have maybe preferred a more balanced cloud field instead of having them bunched up near the top, but no big deal. As a side note, I'm enjoying the contrasting Freudian interpretations of this structure. –Juliancolton | Talk16:47, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry have to do this to a Diliff, but the scene is just too stretched and contorted, plus the shadows are so lifted/reduced that it has lost the 3-dimensional feeling and looks more like a print from a story book. There is nothing wrong with having a bit of depth in such a photo. --Cart(talk)14:04, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pofka: Well, if no shadows were lifted, then I'd say it is photographed at the wrong time of day, giving the sun too much access to all the parts of the church. I know that most photographer usually want to get everything as well lit as possible, but in doing so you sometimes lose the effect of depth and drama in an image. These two photos are a very good example of this: sunlight and shadow. The photos are taken handheld from the same place at roughly the same angle. They have been post-processed in exactly the same way. The first is well lit with sunlight everywhere, like the church here. You can see every part of the rocks in great detail, but it's flat and uninteresting. In the second photo, the shadow of a cloud passed over the quarry, dulling the cliffs in the background, but in this photo you can clearly distinguish the cliffs from each other and you get a sense of depth in the photo. I'm not asking for anything so extreme here, but some gradient in the light would have saved this from looking as flat as it does now. Sorry. --Cart(talk)21:23, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture candidates/File:Bank of pink clouds reflected in the roof of a blue car.jpgCommons:Featured picture candidates/File:Bank of pink clouds reflected in the roof of a blue car.jpg
Support - I don't know whether the buildings on the right are leaning or not, but that is indeed a beautiful bank of clouds and reflection. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:35, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think that any leaning is so slight it can be ignored. I didn't want to do any perspective correction since it can disrupt the symmetry of the reflection. --Cart(talk)22:57, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Beautiful clouds, awkward reflection. It would be a lake, maybe. But there are 3 problems now with this mirror effect : 1) the DoF is too shallow because the car is close to the camera, so at full size the reflection is completely out of focus and not pleasant at all, 2) What makes a reflection beautiful in general in a photo is produced by the surface, and the texture of the material, subtle waves for example with water or polished tiles. Here a roof of a car doesn't make this elegant reflecting surface. It's a creative shot (giving the illusion of water at first sight), but deceiving when we start zooming, 3) The contours of the reflecting plan and the intersection with the horizon are unclear and make this car, which doesn't belong to the landscape, intrusive. Sorry, this is not working for me. I also find the image rather dark with uninteresting black silhouettes in the middle. So nice colorful clouds certainly, but not a successful composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:13, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just to point out the laws of physics state that "For all planar mirrors, the object and virtual image are positioned equal distances from the reflecting surface". So the clouds and the reflected clouds are essentially equidistant from the camera wrt DoF concerns. The car roof paintwork is not acting as a perfect mirror and is slightly convex. The DoF is not "too shallow", and greater DoF would not bring the reflected clouds into "focus", but would bring any dirt or scratches into focus. -- Colin (talk) 11:49, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dirt and scratches yes, but also more details of the clouds. Laws of perfect mirrors are not valid here, since the surface is diffuse. For a better approximation of the optics in this particular case, here are some basic principles concerning the surface reflectance. I'm not saying this surface would be pretty to look at (that's in my second point), but at least the reflection would not be blurred like that. I studied physics and optics at the university and worked in illumination systems for trucks dashboards in Siemens VDO in Germany for my final project -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:30, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Guys please, let's not overthink this. I photographed something different that caught my eye. You either like it or you don't, simple as that. --Cart(talk)12:35, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Forget physics and optics, it all comes down to that I should have washed my car better. I need to keep this in mind for future photos. ;) --Cart(talk)12:50, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly , if this car had been polished like a crystal ball, the reflecting clouds would have been perfectly identical to those above, whatever the DoF. But since this paint is certainly partially opaque, it can never be assimilated to a perfect mirror, and thus a larger DoF would have shown the wonderful texture of this roof, to give a clue about its reflectance. Now, unfortunately you just have the diffuse part of a semi-reflecting material out of focus and that's not, in my humble point of view, extremely sexy :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:41, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well I think FPC can be a place to learn, as well as see pretty pictures. The surface is only partly diffuse, otherwise you would not see a recognisable refection with detail. The reflected clouds really are kilometres away, not 2m away. The scattering of light by the imperfect surface is not something that any degree of focusing or increasing DoF can recover, so the unclear reflection cannot be fixed by better technique. If one focused on the car roof, say, one would see the orange-skin paint surface texture, or dirt, and the clouds would be even less clear. It is possible to get an image on a diffuse surface that is at focus at the diffuse surface itself -- this occurs when you watch a film at the cinema. In this case, the image has been focused with a lens onto the surface itself. That is not the case here. For what it's worth, I like the clouds and the reflection is fine, but the middle bit is rather dark. I think this is a good idea for a photo, and it could be tried another time (with clean car!), which is also why I think it important to understand that "shallow DoF" is not the problem here. -- Colin (talk) 13:04, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you want this color on the clouds, the surrondings are bound to be on the dark side since this was just before the sun set. I could brighten the center, but I like to keep my photos as much as what I saw as possible. --Cart(talk)13:13, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I wouldn't fiddle (too much) with reality. Woodland is a light-sink at night and not much can be done about it. I guess I'm more looking for either the middle to be so thin you don't care about it, bright enough to be interesting (light coloured buildings or illuminated city?) or silhouette (File:Arran sunset.jpg). -- Colin (talk) 13:21, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very nice idea. Great clouds, lovely colours. At least something different. I don't think there's a DoF issue, the surface might not be perfect for a clear reflection but reflections are rarely perfect. --Code (talk) 12:36, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain after Granada decides to withdraw, not signing her edit as always (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) Time lost for everyone. So better to leave early, to avoid the related delist nom which may follow next. I can understand the frustration for the second nomination which is about to fail, but honestly these two simultaneous withdrawals sound too much like an unreasonable whim -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:41, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's not assuming bad faith, just putting this withdrawal in its context. After several warnings, why continuing not to sign one's withdrawals ? We can stay mellow, and I find positive to maintain this candidature alive, maybe I will vote next time, but not only to support always, also to oppose sometimes if necessary -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:59, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very good shot. I disagree with the opposers; the car must be there, it's the car used by the race director and it should be behind the rider so it does not obscure the view or get in the rider's way. The DoF - which is perfect btw - solves this issue by not focusing on the car, but the rider.--Peulle (talk) 06:52, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
+1 Maybe this bicycle would have been great isolated from its background too, but the picture would just have not been the same. These cars are very important and visible in any cycling competition, so I find normal to see one here behind, slightly off, so the champion is still very distinguishable and in focus in the center -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:52, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Really??? An account created today marching straight in as a newbie at FPC doing everything right in the nomination process as their first edits, nominating two photos by the blocked sock Architas...

Oppose Too much of the image is just trees and leaves in shadow and the gradient filter at the top is not working since it leaves the left part of the sky saturated and the right part gray. --Cart(talk)11:51, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your explanation. It is quite a coincidence then that the trees are also darker in the same part as the sky. It adds to the illusion. --Cart(talk)15:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do. It's an image which includes both perspective and a lovely water scene with a nice building at the end. Nature meets a tranquil space, coupled with the straight wood moving on to the right away from the viewer.

Oppose Like Daniel says, it's a pretty chaotic image. That can been helped if there are overall lines or shapes to define the subject. Here such a shape is the outline of the leaf "clump", but it is unfortunately cut. I sort of miss the top 1/3 of this image. A darker (or more uniform) background would also helped define the outline of the subject and made it more pleasing to the eye. Good idea, just not executed all the way. --Cart(talk)11:33, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Basile, in other nominations, including some still on this page, he's been allowed one vote, so should this vote be restored or should all his other votes be deleted? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:13, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This user has been banned eight months ago, so is not allowed to vote here anymore. Changing one's name to go unnoticed and using multiple accounts is perfidious. These double votes prove that the intention was definitely dishonest and pure vandalism. I felt embarrassed many times before with these false accounts that I suspected fake too, with no mean to prove the cheating. These "oppose" looked like revenge in many situations, but were just accepted. Now there's no way to keep this vote here. As a nominator, I take the responsibility to strike it out, and if the author is unhappy, they can always try to remove their block by solving their issue with the admins. Not my problem. I will not fix the previous nominations that these fake votes also polluted, but as long as this one is active, I just put this poor review in the garbage. And I think all the other nominators should feel free to decide what to do in their own situations. The past discomfort is certainly worth this pleasure. We should not let us get attacked sneakily like that, because if we keep these votes, then it's too easy to start again, creating a new account, get quickly 50 edits to be allowed to vote, and then change the consensus for personal reasons. Even if we manage to stop them later (and too late), they would have enjoyed their misconduct. So not this time, sorry. Inadmissible -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:25, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GerifalteDelSabana: No one is going to ignore any votes here, however irritating or irrational. One user one vote. A good reason for the 'oppose' is very strongly recommended, but not all users get this due to language barriers or some other reason. Don't get us started on some new voting controversy when we are right in the middle of the biggest we've had here at FPC. --Cart(talk)19:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@S. DÉNIEL: If you have difficulties in making yourself properly understood in English, please leave your comments in French (or another language you are comfortable with), there are many users who understand and speak it. That way nothing gets "Lost in translation" or manner of speaking, since French has a way of using one-word-comments in a way English doesn't. It's a sure way to be misunderstood. --Cart(talk)19:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bonjour et merci. C’est effectivement très difficile pour moi de parler anglais et une traduction automatique est source de mutuelles incompréhensions. Je constate qu’il ne faut pas beaucoup de votes négatifs pour que certain y voit une série d’agression incohérente (surtout si ça les arrange – je ne parle pas de vous évidement). Regardez la page de vote, dans son entier, et vous constaterez que je ne vote pas plus négativement qu’un autre. Je comprends que des votes négatifs peuvent énerver des gens très motivés. Ils peuvent sembler injustes. Cela dit il ne faut pas confondre demande d’explication et demande de justification et transformer une justification en remise en cause. À ce compte tout et tout le monde peut être jugé inapte ou incompétent. Sur les votes eux-mêmes, nous mettons un motif et souvent un seul pour justifier un vote. Pourquoi accabler une photo d’une litanie de points négatifs. Donc, sur cette photo je trouve les blancs brûlés, mais je trouve aussi que le cadrage n’est pas très judicieux. Le monument aurait été mieux sur le deuxième tiers. On préfère généralement qu’une personne ou une façade ne soit pas tournée contre le cadre. Les courbes des collines en arrière-plan renforce bien la focalisation du regard sur l’ouvrage – c’est bien – mais il renforce aussi le déséquilibre dû au point précédent. Ce cadrage a été choisi pour qu’on puisse voir les drapeaux mais pour moi ils sont plutôt secondaires (trop petits). Personnellement j’aurais choisi un cadrage carré qui permette d’éviter ce problème. Si je n’ai pas mentionné ces points, c’est que j’ai remarqué que certains s’obligent a suivre les remarques des contradicteurs pour obtenir leur étoile. Je n’aime pas trop cette pratique qui ressemble plus a une contrainte qu’a un conseil. Enfin ces drapeaux ont probablement une importance d’un point de vue encyclopédique et il serait donc idiot de demander de les enlever. Croyez bien, que si mon commentaire est laconique, il repose sur une observation attentive et raisonnée. Cordialement.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 08:55, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
S. DÉNIEL: Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Je comprends très bien le français, mais je ne peux pas l'écrire. Seulement très mal. En tout cas, nous avons maintenant un meilleur moyen de communiquer. Je ne pense pas que vous ayez donné trop "d'opposés". Je pense qu'à l'avenir, il serait préférable que vous soyez moins laconique dans vos critiques. De cette façon, nous pouvons éviter les malentendus. J'ai également apprécié la lecture de votre analyse réfléchie et complète de la photo. C'est à partir de commentaires comme celui-là que nous apprenons. FPC ne consiste pas seulement à voter pour des photos, il consiste également à apprendre les uns des autres et à partager des idées sur la photographie. Et s'il vous plaît, laissez vos commentaires en français. Ceci est un site international. Une bonne critique en français vaut mieux qu'une courte en anglais qui peut être mal comprise. Peut-être Ikan, qui parle beaucoup mieux le français que moi, pourrait vous en dire plus. --Cart(talk)12:35, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cart, je doute vraiment que mon français est meilleur que le votre. En tout cas, S. DÉNIEL, je suis satisfaite que vous avez établi votre bonne foi et je vous remercie d'expliquer plus votre opinion. Je suis d'accord avec Cart qu'il soit bien d'expliquer vos votes plus dans le futur si vous voulez.

Agree with Cart here. I also find the crop too large and would have preferred a square. Plus the color of this background is not neutral like grey, but slightly yellowish, so not aesthetic. I may vote later -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:16, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The red color is always a bit troublesome when it comes to digital cameras since the sensor is prone to shift that part of the spectrum into infrared. If you have big red areas in a photo, correction is almost always necessary to make it look natural. This is much better. --Cart(talk)16:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - This photo has grown on me. It reminds me of William Carlos Williams' poem, "The red wheelbarrow". There's a kind of simple near-perfection of form to it, with only a few colors and lots of relaxing blue sky and white sand. Only a couple of contrails spoil the illusion a bit, but they're far enough away to also be gentle. Daniel, Milseburg and Basotxerri, do you still think this photo is oversaturated? I think it is good now. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Ikan, the saturation is OK now, however I have a problem with people in landscape images. If they could be cloned out, I would vote in favor. --Basotxerri (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Everything you can clone out. But as I argued I did not see the point why this few persons should disturb the image impression so much. In fact I cloned out some persons that was in the mid range of the image. But the far away few persons gives the image life without disturbing the relaxing and calmfull charakter. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:28, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I reduced even the nativ colours of the image, so this image is in fact not oversaturated. Maybe you disslike strong and fresh colours? --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:28, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It was not used a polarizing filter. And in fact the image was de-coloured. You seem not to know different light conditions and clear and fresh coloursituations which you have e.g. on high seas on shinny weather. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:26, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question How is the definition of the image transformed? 590 × 800 => 3.926 × 5.317. For FP rules ?
Hi, S. DÉNIEL; I don't rightly know how the current version was achieved, but resolution is secondary for such an historic photo (compare: the historical category). If someone were to create an even better, restored version, that would be a great service to the community, but I fear I am unable to. Btw. please remember to sign your comments.--Peulle (talk) 19:19, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, and this is the most ridiculous one I've seen so far. It's illegitimate to oppose a historic photo because the original scan size was lower than 2MP. Judge the photo as it is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@S. DÉNIEL: I'll address your concern properly, since there seems to be a misunderstanding of the rules. Point #1: an image must be judged in its current version. As you can see on the image page, the original version of this image was only 590×800, but higher resolution images have since been found in digital archives and uploaded by other users, thus replacing the original upload. Therefore, the image file is bigger than the minimum requirement. Point #2: there are exceptions to the rule which apply here. Allow me to explain: Yes, the 2 megapixel rule is normally in effect and applies to all pictures. There are, however, exceptions, and I encourage you to read about those in the Guidelines. As for the exception for this particular image, the relevant passage is: "Given sufficient "wow factor" and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality." Given that this image records an important moment in history and is famous in its own right, users might have voted for it even if no size bigger than 2MP existed. As it does, however (see point #1), the point is moot. In summary, and I'm sorry to say this as I think each user should be allowed to vote their minds on FP images, but your vote is wrong since it was made on faulty premises.--Peulle (talk) 18:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for all these explanations. I thought the picture was the same and artificially enlarged. I should have said it in my comment, sorry. After watching with more attention I see that it is not the same version. the noise is the same but there are other small details. the link of the source deceived me. thanks again --S.

Oppose per Daniel. Lighting also not the best, most photos without the sky in it would be better on a cloudy day and this is no exception. -- King of♥♦♣ ♠ 14:54, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per others, plus a bridge is better depicted with someone or something on top. The composition cuts the image in half. A diagonal would have been much more visually attractive. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture candidates/File:Brand sign on the closed Lysekils canned seafood factory 4.jpgCommons:Featured picture candidates/File:Brand sign on the closed Lysekils canned seafood factory 4.jpg
Info Many towns and cities have signs that have become a kind of landmark, this is Lysekil's version of it. It is the logo of the now closed seafood factory. This industry defined Lysekil for about three centuries but it's now all gone. The sign is among the first things you see when driving into town, it can be seen to the right here. -- Cart(talk)09:50, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Very sharp but I don't like the feeling of listing to the left. Maybe it's meant to be poetic, since it's the logo of a closed factory, but I'd rather see it horizontal. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:02, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I did photos from several (possible) angles and this one was the one that turned out best. The angle and the perspective makes the composition more dynamic than the other. You can see them here. The central strut of the sign is vertical and the rest of the photo is playing with the lines. The near horisontal shots looked just boring and a perfectly horisontal shot is not possible unless by drone.. --Cart(talk)19:50, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, since we are on the subject of sharpness here, that is all thanks to two other photographers here. :) Basotxerri taught me how to understand f-numbers for small-sensor cameras and Kabelleger adviced me about Adobe's smart sharpness feature. Many thanks to both of you! You have saved a lot of my photos. :) --Cart(talk)20:08, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I have thinked about it and looked several times, but the horizontal line is strongly not horizontal and Château Frontenac is leaning to the left. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:31, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I expect there to be objections to the people and the crane, but in a big panorama of a city, those elements are to be expected. I like the sweep of the view, the light (especially on the Frontenac) and colors. I'm not disturbed by the perspective. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:19, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm sorry, this doesn't work for me. The detail, view and perspective are ok but the uniform dark colors make it look like an old 50s postcard. --Cart(talk)09:24, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mild support While the title is a little misleading (this is Quebec at dusk), like Ikan I like the way this panorama captures the city's best-known landmark and its general physical setting, at the same time as it gives us an impression of this as a busy place, with people in the streets and a docked cruise ship. Perhaps, since I've been to Quebec (albeit a long time ago), I appreciate it more. Daniel Case (talk) 14:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
CommentWladyslaw Thanks, I applied a verticals and horizontals perspective fix (You can see the Guides opening it with Photoshop), please, take a look and let me know if it is ok for you. BTW, Charles and Cart absolutely true, the dark color was due to an excessive use of clarity filter by mistake, please, take a look too. Also I added more space to the composition with a more generous cut and finally, I removed any ridiculous color filter to let it with naturals colors. Thanks nice reviews --Photographer01:37, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When i say dark : Quand je dis que c’est sombre je vois surtout qu’il manque des valeurs claires qui auraient apporté plus de contraste et un aspect moins oppressant. Centrer un point de fuite est très risqué, le rendu est souvent décevant. On préfère le mettre au tiers pour pouvoir laisser la spirale se déployer plutôt que de se refermer sur elle-même. Ça diminue cette impression de tomber dans un puits sombre. Il aurait été préférable d’enlever du cadre le bout de mur droit en bas qui est inutile et où l’on voit la déformation du à l’objectif. La composition est basée sur les parties droites de l’escalier alors que le point fort c’est une spirale courbe. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 06:44, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think you have a good point there, that the mid-tones are a bit dark and oppressive. There is something about this photo that doesn't seem quite right to me and I could not put my finger on it, therefore I didn't vote. Your analysis sounds like it. --Cart(talk)16:21, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info The brilliant emerald is one of the UK's rarest dragonflies. It spends nearly all of its life in flight and so is extraordinarily difficult to photograph. Except for a period of 30 minutes. In late June/early July, a few will emerge together from dark woodland ponds and can be observed waiting for their wings to dry. Then they make their first short flight. If you're lucky, it's a nice day and one will land somewhere close in the open and you have 10-30 minutes photo-time. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 10:25, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explaining. Without the alternative, I think I'd support this nomination, but since I prefer the other photo a lot, I may abstain on this nom and will decide later. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:01, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Criticise but please don't guess S. DÉNIEL. No HDR. If you knew about wildlife photography, you would know that HDR techniques are seldom relevant - like when taking this hand-held image on a windy day in a clump of bushes in a forest where the only support possible was a monopod. Charles (talk) 10:14, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I vote against one of your photos and you attack all my votes. not very fairplay. not friendly. I don't say it's HDR but overloaded to be like hdr - you can don't like my choices but respect my opinion please. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 14:03, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Looks overprocessed and not natural per S. DÉNIEL. Not very sharp. WB too cold. If rare or not or always flying or not isn't a reason for FP but maybe for VI. --Hockei (talk) 18:10, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You should read the FP guidelines Hockei: A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph.Charles (talk) 20:23, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You mistake difficult with seldom opportunity. ISO 1000 is too high and f/4.5 is too large so that the DOF isn't enough. Then you try to conceal the bad quality with Photoshop with this overprocessing and sell us the picture as a FP. Too bad that the supporters above do not recognize this. --Hockei (talk) 12:23, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As a talented bug photographer you should not make such an elementary mistake in analysis. In low light there is no sensible alternative to high ISO and large aperture. The other possibility, using flash, is not good for dragonflies because of the reflection of the wings. And I do not misunderstand the meaning of difficult, having a good understanding of my native language. Charles (talk) 14:58, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I see that you have removed the FP status from the file, but it is still on Commons:Featured pictures/chronological/2015-B and Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media/Maps. Shouldn't it (and all the rest of the photos that are being scrubbed) be cleared from all pages connected to the FP status before the new voting? And what do we do about all the POTY galleries it is in, do we leave it there? If not featured again, should we put a 'delisted' tag on it to explain what happened. I think this cleanup has started a bit too hasty and not thought through all the way. Or? --Cart(talk)17:21, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@W.carter: We could wait for the end of this vote to do that. If the FP status is confirmed, we don't need to do anything. If not, we can remove all. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:08, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It might not be as easy as that. If this is now once again promoted to FP, the automated system will add this into this month's FP chronological too and it will appear in this year's POTY. Of course these re-noms and the cleanup need to be done, just not sure which is the best and least disruptive way to do it. --Cart(talk)18:19, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I hear ya, but I don't think there's any way around it. Once delisted because of this fraudulent behaviour, an image should still get a chance with a new vote (at least if the vote was close), and that inevitably means it will be set as a 2018 FP if promoted. I think that's just the mess we're in and we'll have to live with it. Actually, it does rather well illustrate how disruptive the behaviour was. For my part, it's a Support, although the image could probably do without that white border. I love old maps.--Peulle (talk) 18:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at how we did this in the previous case of PumpkinSky. In the chronological, the FP was striked. I think we can do the same now, that way it's clear what happened and why it appears twice (if promoted again) in the chronological list. See example, January number 80 on Commons:Featured pictures/chronological/2018-A. And of course it was removed from the FP gallery, but as you say, that may be done later. As I recall, no photos were re-nominated that time since there were so few and we were just fed up with the whole thing.--Cart(talk)18:40, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

+1. For this photo to be of use, there also needs to be a size that anyone can download, not only a select few with powerful computers. Could someone please make a copy that is say about 30% = 5,765 x 8,647 px? Sort of like it's done with this photo. --Cart(talk)15:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Done I just didn't want it to appear that it was my own photo. I uploaded it and copied the file info from the page of the original, also linking between the two. The downsizing was done in PS with maximum quality retained. I also took the liberty of cropping the bottom ever so slightly, as there was plenty of room available.--Peulle (talk) 10:07, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Peulle, great thanks! If you upload via Upload Wizard, you normally click on the "This is not my image" button and fill in the facts about the original.

Support Outstanding. The level of detail here is completely off the hook. Truly one of the best images on Commons. If I'm nitpicking a bit, I'd say you could probably crop the bottom since the image is so large, and you could do a bit more work on the black areas near the borders between the eyes and the background. Also also, is there any chance of getting the categories even more accurate?--Peulle (talk) 12:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I love it. There are 1-2 very small spots that might be dust spots, but they're visible only at full size, anyway.

CommentBasile, Peulle: One key difference between this FPC and the existing one is that the existing one is one image, this one is a panorama composed of 6 images. Point of time and subject is similar but the result is IMO pretty different Poco206:32, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The other one is better in my view and I supported it, but the main issue now is because both are very similar. One has more pixels, one has more foreground, but both show the same view, same colors, same horizon, same reflection.

Info This 2007 image was superceded by a better, higher resolution version created by the same author in 2010. Referencing the Guidelines, "Normally there should never be two featured pictures that are just different versions of the same image, so if a better version exists the original version should be delisted." I believe these two images fit that situation and that, consequently, this one should be delisted. (Original nomination)
Ehm ... actually, it's the other way around. Are you sure you've read the guidelines I linked to? You're talking about QIs: "The purpose of quality image status is to recognize that at the moment of creation, a Commons user skillfully achieved a desirable level of quality, a recognition that is not erased by later advances". For FPs, on the other hand, the point is exactly that: "The purpose of featured picture status is to recognize that an image is currently among the most valuable images—the top fraction of a percent. As overall image quality improves, some images will be delisted."--Peulle (talk) 16:24, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure. The other one is a little bit better, yes. And I voted with "neutral" (not "keep") for this reason. IMO the new is a good FP, but it could be better too. --XRaytalk19:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Should be more cropped, but that would make image too small. Not really enough definition and an ordinary background. Charles (talk) 14:33, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What you call an ordinary background is in fact a natural background. Pics of birds in cities or in zoos are for sure not that worthly. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:01, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course natural and much better than a zoo or city, but not FP, especially for a common bird species. Blurred foreground is also a problem. Charles (talk) 16:23, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really sure if you every made animal shots in wildlife. This requires long focal length (here: 400 m). It's a optical rule that you have blured fore- and background when you shoot with 400 m. The main objekt is totally sharp. Don't understand the necessarity that the pebbles or the sea has to be sharp. On the contrary: with the blured fore- and background the main object is more in focus than it would be if everythink would be sharp. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:48, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have in fact shot a few 'animal shots in wildlife' and posted some on Commons; but of course your photography lesson is quite an eye-opener! Charles (talk) 09:13, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I love this picture and the well use of DoF, however, like others FPC is now more competitive that a time ago and we have with us a specialized birds photographers who have taken amazing pictures of bird with super detailed size, and of course, you don't need a expensive lens, everything is relative and remember that it's just my opinion.

Sure they're all about green rice fields, but also different places with different trees, different compositions, under different weathers. So, maybe like the shells by Llez, the mountain views by Moroder, the butterflies by Charles, or the flowers by Famberhorst, this picture of paddy fields is also special in its kind. Thanks for your vote anyway -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:39, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - All that pooled muddy water isn't doing anything for me. I'm suggesting cropping out most of that, so that we are more in the midst of the exciting part - the waterfall. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:40, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Waterfalls are generally nice but I don't see this as an FP. I think what fails for me here is the lighting. However, I don't agree with Ikan and his crop suggestion: the rocks create an interesting foreground element and thus, more depth and a more interesting composition. --Basotxerri (talk) 08:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I like this photo - picturesque, with the arch actually being emphasized by being in shadow and pretty streaming clouds - but the sharpness could be better, and is the curve up to the right and left accurate or due to something about the way you photographed the scene? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:00, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Thanks. I'm torn because I really like the composition, but the sharpness is still pretty questionable for an FP, I think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:56, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I had to try to recover the right white balance as my camera registered a RAW file far too much cold. I remember when I leave that place to check the light colour on the bridge archs, end the colour was indeed yellow colored, as well as on the church. Though I maybe pushed a little bit too warm the WB + I of course added some saturation. Hope that is not too much unatural.

I agree with the scaffolding, but it is a typical feature of such buildings. As far as I know, this is in place for several years. And I do not know what these young ladies are doing. --Uoaei1 (talk) 12:36, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice shot, but I'm not getting the "wow, this is one of the best images on Commons" vibe. It looks a bit like a shot any tourist travelling along the river could take. I'd like to have seen a photo from a higher angle (drone?) showing more of the buildings extending at both ends. As it is, I'm not seeing enough of the town, partly because of the trees.--Peulle (talk) 16:51, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose To me it lacks a clear subject or compositional idea. The river is just "there" but takes no role in the composition, although it might have been able to provide some stron lines. The view towards the building is blocked by some trees right in the centre of the frame. Of course, a good panorama can be awesome without following the traditional conventions of composition if it instead can manage to create the illusion of "being there" while looking around. Unfortunately, it doesn't have that effect on me either. --El Grafo (talk) 07:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose My main problem would be that it is overexposed, as the pale clouds and sky suggest, although that is more evident at full size. But ... Peulle and El Grafo have points regarding the composition; perhaps it did not need to try to take so much in. Daniel Case (talk) 03:24, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I'm a huge fan of Martha Argerich (note spelling - filename must be corrected), but this is not a very high-quality photo, and the composition has some problems, too, such as the random pink straps on the right and the bottom crop. I don't think it's a QI, either. It might be a VI in the right scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:57, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Ikan Kekek. Typo corrected. I'll just add that I didn't touch the picture -- It is as I took it, with no editing at all. It was a magic moment, the kind we don't usually get to see, and I thought it was worth keeping it natural. Thanks for your input, though. Shani Evenstein. (talk) 21:06, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't think the sharpness and level of detail are high enough on this one. Also, can I just say: I'm not sure I agree that all of these should be renominated, at least not if the vote was very close. As this one made it through only thanks to one illegitimate vote, is it really worth bringing it up again? It's not like it won in a landslide. Or is that the point, to only nominate the close ones? --Peulle (talk) 21:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They are all close, since only the ones where striking one of the double vote made a difference from promotion to not are being demoted. If striking the double vote didn't make a difference to the result, the image stays a featured image. (Ignoring the current proposal here to demote all of L/Σ/A images where there's double voting.) There's also some that would had featured if not for double opposes. Those aren't being promoted though. At least one of the renomination below is such an image. -- KTC (talk) 22:21, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The files who had a failed nom because of the double vote are not automatically promoted. However, the users have been notified and a message has been placed on the noms that they can be renominated. If you open the list and click on some of the 'fixed' noms, you will see this. --Cart(talk)22:26, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict) Peulle, only nominations where the outcome was changed by removing one sock vote are eligible for re-nomination at this point. They are all listed in the "Where extra vote changed the result" on the FPC talk page. I'm fixing the affected noms and informing the nominators, but it will take some time since it's a lot of work. --Cart(talk)22:23, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- No, I purposely didn't fix perspective completely - otherwise a big part of an image will be lost from the both sides and also it gives some dynamic effect. Thank You.--Moahim (talk) 07:11, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I have the version with correct perspective (with lost parts from the bottom and both sides) - I completely don't like it. And these buildings are the main part of an image (as object of georgian cultural heritage, via WLM). Thank You.--Moahim (talk) 09:50, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support A difficult subject deserves a little complacency. La Lumière rasante met bien en valeur le relief. Pour moi c’est la première exigence pour ce type de paysage. Ici c’est fort bien réussi.

- Polarizing filter darkens sky, manages reflections, suppresses glare from the water surface and all of these makes colors more deep and saturated. --Moahim (talk) 09:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand but it's difficult. The map has no title, no author, no date. This file name is the reference number given by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Put this number in google and you find the map. - I read on rules : «If possible, language and schema should be preserved, as well as the camera or catalogue number». I preserve the catalogue number.

I think a good name could be "Carte de Brest - ca 1700 - Bibliothèque Nationale de France - Btv1b8439976x". It doesn't have to be more complicated and that way you get to keep the number and refer to where the original can be found. --Cart(talk)17:40, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The only feature I can find to this photograph is its age, because it's old, and thus has a special value. But apart from that, the quality is quite bad for a static subject, even for the period, and the contrasts with the light too strong.

Comment I don't really care whether the flatten metal tin (?) get put back or not for Commons' purpose. I prefer the edited version. -- KTC (talk) 20:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm not at all satisfied with this edited version. Firstly, the quality (such as the noise) of both images can be criticized, which means that the subject matter (the "wow") is what carries the most weight. Given that, I see no reason why an edited version should be nominated instead of the original. Secondly, touching up some shadows might be fine, but when you go to such lengths as cloing out litter from the street (again, for what possible reason?), effectively changing the scene, it gets a hard 'no' from me. Frankly, I'm astonished none of the professionals supporting above have pointed this out.--Peulle (talk) 14:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little confused with how cloning out some trash here is different from cloning out two birds in a previous nom (supported by Peulle and Charles). Here the cloning is declared with a {{retouched}} template, while that is not the case on the bird photo. --Cart(talk)15:40, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Don't put words in my mouth. I did not support the cloning out of those birds, as you can clearly see in the conversation I even considered removing my support of the photo entirely, but it would have passed anyway.--Peulle (talk) 15:52, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'd agree with putting the litter back in the photo, since it's part of the scene in this war-scarred city. I'm not really seeing destructive edits, though. What's more than minor? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:06, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, there could be made some minor improvements like shadows and highlights, but since the quality isn't primarily what is being judged here, why not jut nominate the original instead? That's my main beef anyway.--Peulle (talk) 20:02, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think any kind of editing is acceptable for photo reports. Subjectively I also find the tonal touch ups less than desired or needed. -- KennyOMG (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I prefer this version with the recovered highlights on the stones on the right and brightened shadows on the left. The removal of the trash on the left is fine for me: It is disturbing the balance of the image, and there's plenty of trash left in the picture so that removal of this single piece does not affect the picture's integrity. It's a much stronger image without it. Similarly, removal of that white piece of building (?) in the background it totally fine for me as it is distracting, is not identifiable, and in reality would be covered by trees as well had the camera been positioned a little bit more to the left or the trees grown a little bit more. Imho, this is exactly how a reputable professional photojournalist would edit this. --El Grafo (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Given the combination of extremely narrow aperture and very fast ISO, I'm inclined to believe what we have is the result of a tradeoff on the photographer's part and this may be the best we can get. Daniel Case (talk) 17:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please fix the categories. I've done that on many of your photos, but it's time you learned how to do it yourself. Tagging and categories are not the same, unfortunately. See Commons:Categories. --Cart(talk)22:37, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very nice composition and interesting place. However, I guess this is an out-of-camera JPEG? Looks as if the JPEG-compression had gone a little bit too far. I think one could recover some more information of the white clouds from the RAW file, they look a little bit blown (maybe not completely avaoidable). --Code (talk) 05:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info During the preparations several photographs were taken. A photograph of the illuminated building is already a featured picture: File:Dülmen,_Dülmener_Sommer,_Open-Air-Konzert_--_2018_--_9316-18.jpg. This one was taken two days before at the very early blue hour, the nominated one was taken later with a nearly clear sky, the automobile in the building and the stage in the background. There are a lot of differences, so I'll nominated the second one. --XRaytalk15:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral This vote is mostly affected by the tones in the cyan sky. I agree with the opinions about it being slightly too saturated. Other than that, I like the picture. --Ximonic (talk) 11:54, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For me it's a picture of architecture and the relationship with the concert is far. This photo would be deleted in my country for the architect copyright. I do not see his name.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 13:04, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First of all: You should sign your comments. The photograph may be deleted in your country if it were taken in your country. I guess, it's France. It's difficult to take photographs in France. So it's no problem, in Germany we have Freedom of Panorama and in this special case I've the permission. But I just added the name of the architects. The building is one part, the illumination the other. The illumination is part of the concert three days before the concert. Otherwise there is no special illumination. --XRaytalk10:49, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info Just for your information: This is the last tram of Münster's trams. It is located within an office building in Münster (Germany). --XRaytalk15:01, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's a good QI, but the wow isn't quite there for me. The light is fairly ordinary and the camera position could be a bit further to the right so we could see more of the tram.--Peulle (talk) 14:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But there wasn't enough space to go to right without having the post in front of the tram. I picked up a disturbing bench in front of the tram and moved it to the right. IMO it's the best view of this side of tram without having too much disturbing elements. And there is wall at the right too. So your proposed position may be an impossible choice. And the light is the light of a good afternoon. The building is closed at night or sunset or other light conditions. I'm happy about this light, the meeting with a helpful and responsible person was fixed three weeks before. --XRaytalk14:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is not about a encyclopedic photo of the tram, but lines. Lines, lines! All those vertical lines accented by the lamp post are certainly a wow for me. :) The scene looks fresh and airy. -Cart(talk)09:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As much as I want to see it Cart's way, I can't. I give Dietmar credit for not trying to clone it out and depict it as it is, but sometimes no amount of footwork can make a picture featured if what's on the ground gets in the way. The lightpost is just too big to not distract me; crossing the steps doesn't help either. Daniel Case (talk) 14:46, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support having done urban photography myself I know that angles and lines are often less than ideal. In this case I like the lighting, colors, and most of the lines enough that I am mostly supportive. --Pine✉01:19, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now. It needs a better description and/or some image notes, imho. From the Google-translated russian description of File:Pteridium pinetorum ssp. sibiricum lum.jpg I can guess that the large pink-ish cells in the centre are the en:xylem, but what is the rest? This is good-looking, but so far away from what it could be with a better description.

Comment This is an old FP from 2006. I don't think it was all that great in 2006, and it certainly is not any more today. There's nothing special in this that would make it stand out among other maps, let alone induce a"wow"-effect. It has a couple of issues, listed here in no particular order: 1) There's a typo in the legend ("Curent"). 2) The legend expands below the mapped region. It should either be completely inside or completely outside. 3) No sources have been given for the historic borders. 4) No sources have been given for the geodata used to create the base map (coast lines, rivers, modern borders). 5) The border of the 1236 Dutchy changing color where it overlaps with the 1920-1923 republic is a bit confusing. 6) Why does the en:Vistula stop short of the baltic sea in the North? 7) Names of some places could benefit from better placement so that they do not overlap with the borders (which, btw, could use better signatures). If someone would like to work on that, there is an SVG version available that could be nominated once the issues have been resolved. --El Grafo (talk) 12:33, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info This image was voted FP in 2005 (votes 7 vs 3) and I feel that 13 years later, standards have increased somewhat. Looking in the pheasant gallery, there are two other similar images, at least one of which has significantly higher resolution and sharpness. (Original nomination)
Delist , but neither of these two photos deserves a star anymore, either: File:Paonroue.JPG, File:Carnavalesco.jpg. Maybe someone who's inspired and has excellent equipment can take a wonderful photo with true color, no posterization and a 3-dimensional feel. (this one, which is not head-on, is arguably better, as the head is clearly 3-dimensional.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Basile.

Oppose Excessive processing of the sky, dark aura around the building and artificial sky. Cut out composition at the bottom and nothing wow --Photographer23:25, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The light is quite spectacular but the post-treatment looks excessive. The first version was maybe better in the history, though showing the dark aura too -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:54, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan, only gifted people can see an aura :-). It is usually a glow (rather than darkening) around a high contrast edge, often caused by tonemapping with too much local contrast (Clarity) or highlight recovery. Sometimes it is just an unfortunate positioning and the lighter/darker areas are real. Sometimes it is a bit of an optical illusion. -- Colin (talk) 07:38, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sun-lit subject against a dark rain cloud always looks impressive. But the subject here is just a block of flats, and the contrast-processing is excessive. -- Colin (talk) 07:38, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Feels like it could be an FP ... if it were either part of a larger stitched panorama of the entire mine or it was just one of its elements. As it is there's just so much going on here as to make it feel chaotic despite the regularity of the layers—the different colors of the earth, the equipment, the shadow at the bottom, the sky (which despite being minimal feels like too much).

Hi there - the darkness may be possible to fix with simple brightening. By "downsized" I mean that this image is only 3,872 × 2,581 pixels, and the camera used has the potential to shoot 6016 × 4000 pixels. Please see the Guidelines: "Images should not be downsampled (sized down) in order to appear of better quality." Certainly, for FPs, we require as high a resolution as possible, unless the image has many redeeming features (big wow factor).--Peulle (talk) 19:15, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
dear Peulle (talk) thank you for the piece of advice: in deed I did not know about that and I always export file after editing with a file sized at 10 Mpix I chnged the setting so tha I can have a better file ... I improved the lightening too --IssamBarhoumi (talk) 21:10, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomascastelazo: You have misunderstood. The guideline is that images should not be downsized. The 2MP limit is an absolute minimum, but you still can't downsize images to just above that limit and expect them to be promoted.--Peulle (talk) 08:55, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others. Again, a very good composition, but I feel like there's no way it was that dark at 10:55, even on a mostly cloudy day in February, and the sharpness could be better. You have some great ideas, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:30, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others; it looks like it was shot through an ND filter. Also, it's still not completely sharp anywhere, which I can't fathom given the aperture. Daniel Case (talk) 16:16, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello everybody and thank you for your Humble Opinions : I did not use any filter and the sun was covered by clouds and even I like it that way but I added more Sharpness and more light ... have a look please --IssamBarhoumi (talk) 18:17, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info I was about to nominate this when the hammerhead appeared... Well, at least I'll give it a try. This photo was not my idea. I was out to shoot his fish stall, and like I always do when there are people involved, I introduced myself and the WikiProject. While I was clicking, he said: "Hey, how about a photo of me holding a big salmon?" Of course I was game for that. :) All by me, -- Cart(talk)12:19, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Info Just a small note: This is in a fish stall and the two pieces of paper on the counter are price tags for some of the products in the stall. He was doing some tagging when I interrupted him, so not irrelevant. The are in Swedish and says (translated): "Smoked mackerel 15.90:-/hg" and "Herring pickled with crayfish 25:-/hg". The are very much part of the environment in a Swedish fish stall, as are the tools of his trade in the background: cart with crushed ice, shovel for said ice, etc. --Cart(talk)17:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But it's posed photo, so composition can be carefully chosen. The fishmonger was not be presenting such a large fish for sale, so the tage for other fishes are not relevant. His expression is not natural. Charles (talk) 07:55, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is a posed photo, staged in a perfect way. There is a long tradition in imagery to depict people with their tools and associated things around them (1, 2, 3) Without the items, the image would be sterile and have no context. His head is centered on that shiny steel thing, giving the illusion of a 'halo' and the fish has plenty free headroom to 'swim out' into. --Cart(talk)09:19, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support; but I think you could do with cropping some of the right out so the cross the man and the fish make is a bit more centered and striking. Daniel Case (talk) 05:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose That dark background on the left cluttered with objects really is a bit distracting ... How 'bout taking like one step to the right?--Peulle (talk) 06:40, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the 'fast' original gives you a good quick idea of what's going on, after that you can get nerdy and examine the map more closely. It's even possible to extract the individual images from this gif and make a still series of it. --Cart(talk)10:31, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the slower one works better. I'm still considering opposing, though, since I also think it should be bigger; the ideal use of this file (IMO) is on a powerpoint presentation on a big screen in front of a crowd, and for big projector screens, the current size is not ideal. Btw.: having the individual images available for separate viewing, as in an album, would be useful, so there could be a link to that in the files.--Peulle (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Since it is a gif you always have to factor in the number of images when it comes to size. This consists of 79 images and that is about as big as the system can handle, so a bigger image is not possible. See above for how to calculate the size of a gif. This is the equivalent of a 72.8 Mpx image. Btw, the image reaches a bigger audience via people's phones than powerpoint, so IMO that is the ideal use. --Cart(talk)10:44, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
At my computer the fast version is not so good, too, because my internet is to slow. But after you wait the gif has run one time, you see the gif with the true speed. You also could see on a smaller version, than the original version (with the descripted problem). In my view. The fast version, because, you see the weather changes (5 years) and see also the climate changes (>30 years), where the focus is on. So it shows very good, that weather isn't climate. The slow version doesn't discribe this so good, I think. Habitator terrae (talk) 11:26, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Illustrates well why this 30-year-old image format should not be used in this millennium. We can now stream video, adapt the quality to the bandwidth, speed it up or slow it down in real time, pause it, and whizz forward and backward at will. This is eye-candy, visually intrusive, CPU hogging, bloated and I get the point on the very first pass so why loop? I can't see how anyone would enjoy reading and pay attention to an article on this serious topic with this flickering away in the corner of your screen. Also, what's with the filename? An "anomaly" is a [singular] deviation from standard, not a trend upwards. -- Colin (talk) 11:22, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Even so, the format is not prohibited and sometimes more reliable/easier to play than video files. Why else would there be need for the constant "Problems playing the file?" on video files. Last year a gif ended up on third place in POTY. --Cart(talk)12:12, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The heart isn't quite so distracting with colour flicker as this. But even so, a video format would have been better. If WMF have problems with playing videos then they should invest in making a better player. I don't have any problems playing youtube videos. And with modern video editing suites it would be trivial to produce a 4K, HD, SD, etc version. --Colin (talk) 13:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The endless loop is horribly distracting when you'r trying to read the page it's embedded in, even in the slower version. GIF is stone age, and so is using Fahrenheit for scientific results (from a global perspective). --El Grafo (talk) 12:10, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it is less problematic than with absolute values. I strongly disagree with the term irrelevant though. --El Grafo (talk) 13:04, 12 October 2018 (UTC) and BTW: there is no "°K"[reply]
It isn't just about SI but the fact the majority of the world won't have a feel for what +/- 4°F means, and knowing what this temperature change means is kind of the point. -- Colin (talk) 13:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm so stupid (I didn't know so much about Fahrenheit, I thinked, that there are the same rules than Celcius): It's more relevant then I thinked: 0,56a°F-b=a°C-b=c°K-b . I work on a K version. Habitator terrae (talk) 14:21, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree. Fahrenheit? 12:31, 12 October 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesjsharp (talk • contribs) 12:31, 12 October 201 (UTC)
Oppose per Colin, who has made this point before but never as forcefully as he does here. .GIFs were always just a stopgap, a format that was developed so people on CompuServe (remember that?) could share images (".GIF! .GIF! .GIF!" ... ah, those were the days). IMO .PNG has superseded .GIF as a better lossless image format for stills, and as noted now that we have better video capabilities here we can leave the animated ones to memes. Daniel Case (talk) 16:47, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan Kekek, this is only how many degrees up or down the temperature has fluctuated, not the actual temperature. K and C have the same steps unlike F. So whether it is written as 1K up or 1C, doesn't matter, it's the same. --Cart(talk)16:06, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I know that degrees Kelvin and Celsius are the same size, but in the English description of the Fahrenheit version, it states: "The scale shows a temperature change of ±4 F° or ±2.2 C°." This makes things clear, should be in German, too, and should be included in the description for this version, too (though it can be restricted to mentioning variation of degrees Kelvin). I'll provisionally Support, but I think everyone can see how I was confused. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:10, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the temp clarification to this Alt's description. For clarity and correct language, someone who speaks German should add the translation to the files. --Cart(talk)19:34, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, while your enthusiasm for your image is commendable, please know that with each change and alternative, voter's interest in the nomination will fade. Most voters don't revisit a nom once they have cast their vote. You are new on this forum and on a bit of a learning curve, but ideally, this should not be a media lab and nominations should be as ready as they can be when posted here. Think about that in the future. --Cart(talk)13:39, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, you will learn how to do this. It is a very demanding and tough forum and voters here will complain about the smallest thing to select "the best of the best" images on Commons. I think you have done well for a first-timer, you survived and delivered. --Cart(talk)14:29, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe there is a little confusion with Charles taking your "you have taken to heart all the comments here" literally as though Habitator terrae was the author and could therefore tweak it. Obviously, with third-party sources, there is much less we can or should do. -- Colin (talk) 16:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Wonderful. I can look at this in 4K and it is smooth like a lava lamp and inevitably moves towards hot. This is something that could easily be incorporated into a TV documentary or current affairs programme, and the individual frames are good enough to be used in a magazine. Exactly what FP should aim for. -- Colin (talk) 16:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Habitator terrae, I still think (after the nomination closes) the filename(s) should be changed. NASA's title is "Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2017" which would be a much better title, though their claim that the baseline of "1951 to 1980" is "normal" and so the red, yellow and blue represent "anomalies" is strange language -- they are deviations from an arbitrary baseline but hardly unexpected or irregular. Still, picking NASA's title is better than this one. -- Colin (talk) 12:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin and Habitator terrae: "temperature anomaly relative to $reference_period" is exactly how climatologists call this kind of thing. So yes, that's how the file should be named, imho. The reference period doesn't really matter, as temperature during the reference period just serves as a baseline; this is never meant to imply that the average temperature from 1951 to 1980 would be somehow normal or natural, it's just one way of looking at things. --El Grafo (talk) 07:47, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
El Grafo, the thing is it isn't an "anomaly" but "Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2017", which should be the filename. It is quite misleading to use the singular (and echo's Trump's recent claim that "it'll change back" as though this is all just a blip). As for "normal", see the NASA article, which repeatedly (and IMO incorrectly) keeps referring to "Higher than normal" and "Lower than normal", rather than the correct neutral term "baseline". At least the Commons file description doesn't make that mistake. -- Colin (talk) 10:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I never fail to be astounded by the lack of respect you show your photographic subjects. When you asked their parents for permission, did you mention that you planned to inform the internet they reminded you of freaks from a cinematic nightmare? -- Colin (talk) 11:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what your point is here other than sour grapes. The first image is of the most notable human rights activist living in the UK, not two random children. The middle image I opposed but clearly has novelty value. The third is yours, is an environmental photo including an interesting shop, and only just reached 7 votes, so hardly a strong support. Perhaps you could explain why you think this among our finest images on Commons and has wow? Any parent has photos like this, taken with no skill or artistic flair -- it is a very ordinary photo. -- Colin (talk) 09:00, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because exotic people => unusual for most Europeans => more interesting? I oppose this kind of view (for me it sometimes looks like "watching common people as if they were animals in a zoo"), but what most users demand here gets promoted as FP. --A.Savin12:49, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think I may have reacted differently from other people because, until I noticed the dirt on their shirts, I saw myself in the picture. Though my school uniform (short-sleeved button-down white shirt, blue shorts, socks and sneakers) was clean, the scene otherwise could have easily been of me going to or from school in Malaysia in 1975. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I 100% agree with A.Savin, I see a lot of westerners in Mexico wanting to take pictures of indigenous people really encroaching in their space as if they were indeed monkeys in a zoo. The response? A dollar a picture. Photographs of disasters, poverty and adverse social conditions geared for the upscale viewers are very attractive and I think a lot of their appeal is precisely because of the fact that upscale people rarely wander into that world which is otherwise common for the majority of the population. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why do some people respond to opposing views with re-justification? It's a matter of taste. If someone isn't wowed by an image, live with it and move on.--Peulle (talk) 15:25, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, he should have gone to Vientiane to find some affluent Laotian twin girls to photograph, wearing the heighth of fashion to their exclusive private school? Should Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans not have photographed their subjects either, so as to avoid stereotyping?
You see the dirt on their shirts, and while I do too, I see in their faces the determination to overcome an environment where they attend school in those dirty shirts that overwhelms that. Daniel Case (talk) 18:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Come on Daniel Case, while Basile is a decent photographer, he is by faaaaaaaaar anything close to Diane Arbus, and the comparisons to Dorothea Lange is extremely poor. Dorothea Lange documented with an incredible depth and sensibility the plight of people affected by an economic disaster and her work is not encapsulated in any given photograph. Her work is understood within the context of the times. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:18, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This photo just doesn't wow me. The girls look rather uncomfortable being photographed. Regardless of race, location or social standing, many twins are struggling to be regarded as individuals and not as "the twins", especially growing up. We don't know if that is the case here, sure they stick together and support each other just like any two sisters do, but I would guess they might be a bit tired of people gawking at them just because they look the same. --Cart(talk)19:01, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find this an interesting picture to look at. Good quality mostly as well. But I have a concern about some of the colors in there. For example the green on the trees to the left - it seems very strong kind of green. Were the trees illuminated by green lamps? It feels maybe oversaturated. Same concern is about the blueness of the sky on the left as it feels too colorful aswell. Again, I can't tell for sure if it really was like this, or if the picture is slightly oversaturated? All best, --Ximonic (talk) 11:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The differnce of colors because of the lamps with different color temperature on the street (there are lamps with cold white light near the green trees and others are yellow warm). The right part of the sky is a bit cloudy and has more "parasite light" from the street lamps. Thank You. --Moahim (talk) 13:11, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It looked better when it was downsized, thus serving as a perfect example of why downsizing an image to make it look sharper - or, as in this case, less noisy - is against QI/FP rules. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:06, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is a random image downloaded from a free-photos site with a max download size at 2652 x 1832 px, if you don't have access to the original raw file, it is quite meaningless to upsize the jpeg and try to make it sharper.

Comment - It's a fine and historically important portrait, and the digital restoration has made a lot of progress, but I think more can still be done, especially to clean dirt and scratches near the left margin. I will not oppose and would respect a consensus to feature if one is forthcoming, but I think that even though the restoration work to date must have been quite time-consuming, other restorations have produced cleaner documents than this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:07, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm by no means an expert on photo restoration. I'll be travelling this weekend to be at WikiCon NA, but when I get back I'll try to make some more time to see if I can't clean it up a bit more. GMGtalk10:35, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Awesome. I had gotten done like the top third of the left hand side, but hadn't been able to finish up. (Getting in some editing here and there is unfortunately a bit different from finding a few dedicated hours to do retouching.)

Weak support In this darkness, the settings are maybe the best possible, but still this shallow depth of field make blurred some important elements like the ovens. Also the worker is seen from behind. I still support because this place with professional tools is interesting, and the action is in focus -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:03, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is one of those photos that completely don't work in terms of aesthetics ... the shapes are all chaotic, there are no lines, no form. But ... I find something gritty and industrial, something very 19th century, in this. You really get the feeling this is not only as it is done, it is as it has been done. (I do think the subdued colors help very much with this). Daniel Case (talk) 02:19, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Basile the view from behind the worker is a bit less involving, but I don't understand Daniel's artistic negativity. There is a line of three ovens, with an odd number being powerful. There is the eye-line from worker to glass, emphasised by the tongs. And the rails (?) on the floor form the third line of a triangle round these elements. The circles and square shapes of the ovens remind me of some IQ "what's next" puzzle. The third oven acts like a glowing eye looking at the glassmaker. The pink 1 on the wall is a little distracting; I'd have been tempted to clone that out. -- Colin (talk) 07:45, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Talk about the size. I'm inclined to support because the unsharpness is part of a mood that I like, but if you downsized it to make it look better, that's against policy. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think it's been downsized, but it's not a great camera so possibly that's why it's very grainy/soft. Also, is F22 right for this sort of shot? I suspect not. Charles (talk) 19:14, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like the mood but Charles has a point ... most of the other 30-second exposures we've featured in less-than-dark conditions are not this grainy. Daniel Case (talk) 07:11, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - It looks better, and I'm inclined not to care about a bit of unsharpness in the sky because it's the gesture of the clouds that really counts. I'm just torn because nowadays, FPs are usually much bigger files than this. I'm going with my heart and supporting this because I find it beautiful and satisfying to look at, but it really is a bit of a stretch. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:08, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Composition, lighting and subject are really nice, but the quality/size is indeed not at FP level, just over the bar IMHO --Poco217:14, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have a nagging feeling about this photo that if we make it an FP, in a few years, we'll be voting on a nomination to delist it. Should that be a consideration now, or should we just vote based on our evaluation in the present? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
IMO if you are not an experimented photographer yourself, then you should be careful when you listen the "pseudo-specialist", especially those who those who have easy criticism, they are usually the same who are much more inclined to criticize photos of others than to their own photography, and nothing is less sure that they are able to do better... Christian Ferrer(talk)04:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's objectively a lot smaller than most of the photos we are voting to feature at this point, right? But do note that I voted to support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just for your info, this size is absolutely not a small size in regard to that camera. See [9]. And almost all the opposers, are not really able to do better with their bigger camera, otherwise I wonder where are their so good nomination(s) of long exposure photography. Regards, Christian Ferrer(talk)05:14, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As one of the opposers, I add a comment. I do not submit long-exposure shots and it's not my area of expertise, but I feel I am able to make a technical appraisal of image technical quality. I suspect that many of the appraisals of my macro lens photos are done by talented photographers/photo enthusiasts who have never taken macro photos of frisky insects at ground level. But they can judge the results, having looked at many similar FP nominations. Charles (talk) 10:40, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mild Oppose - It doesn't bother me that there's a motor vehicle on the right side of the picture. However, it's not balanced by anything of comparable impact on the left side (the plant doesn't quite counterbalance it). The result to me is still a very good picture, but not quite a good enough composition for me to support here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:29, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture candidates/File:Market square in Apolda.jpgCommons:Featured picture candidates/File:Market square in Apolda.jpg
Oppose The town hall is blurred, possibly from camera shake. I think also bad timing with the near people on the left, who are not helping the scene. Sometimes it is worth taking several frames over several minutes, so you can remove some people. The cylindrical perspective distortion is quite strong, and I wonder if a 360° panorama like Code has done would be a better option to capture a whole square, which presumably has other buildings behind the camera too. -- Colin (talk) 19:10, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm not as bothered by the blurred Rathaus, but Colin is right about the cylindrical projection. The contrast could also be helped—the buildings in the center are a little too bright. Also, and I don't often say this, it seems that the colorful elements of the image are a little too saturated. Daniel Case (talk) 19:20, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture candidates/File:Pink double cherry blossoms in Torp 8.jpgCommons:Featured picture candidates/File:Pink double cherry blossoms in Torp 8.jpg
I knew you would say that. :-) In that case, one of the other photos in this series would be better (perhaps this), but I wanted to try something that was between the traditional close-up of flowers and whole tree. Also, I like the layered look the large aperture gives you in this, with the big clusters in the foreground and smaller dots in the background so I chose that setting. --Cart(talk)03:12, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I prefer not to have all flowers in focus. Depth of field is the way of telling the viewer what to pay attention to. I see the big clusters of flowers in the foreground as the main subject of the picture. And the chosen aperture does this very well. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:00, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Depth of field is the way of telling the viewer what to pay attention to." Completely agree. So here it says "Don't watch this background" -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:24, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, you got that wrong. ;-) It just tells you where the primary subject is. There is a huge difference between "don't watch" and "pay less attention to". --Cart(talk)05:56, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Both interpretations of this "short distance" are valid. In one case, why shouldn't we pay attention to them ? And in the other case also, why the others are distracting ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:59, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Lovely composition and colours, which cheer me up on this dull cold autumn day. Agree with Frank. Focus variation is an important visual depth indicator in a 2D photograph. Btw, the aperture here, 21mm f/4.5 on a 1" camera, is equivalent to 57mm f/12.2 on a full-frame camera, which is not "large" considering most people regard f/8 as middling. Any smaller, and we'd get comments "Diffraction softening due to small aperture" -- Colin (talk) 07:57, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I've thought about this photo for a while, and the bottom line is that I don't love it. I'm not sure why, but it probably has as much or more to do with the shapes and the resulting arabesque, which isn't working that well for me, than anything else. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:18, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm unconvinced by the composition, which doesn't have a definite area for the eye to rest on. The in-focus foreground merges with the out-of-focus flowers behind, encouraging the viewer's eye to wander rather aimlessly across both without settling. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:23, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I see the issue. The full image has noisy areas and distracting people in it. Of course it's normal for there to be people in such a picture, but FPC celebrates the extraordinary and the normal shown in an extraordinary way. So for FP, even if there were no technical issues at all, I think you either had to have no people in it or the one seated worshipper, or you had to somehow take the shot when the people in it added something special to the form. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:28, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is so upsized you can easily count the pixels at 100% size, that is not the way to get to FP. I can't find any Exif info either.

Comment You are right, for first I planned the photo with a pink bottom and a yellow background, especially for the nomination as FP, so that the lizard stands well out from the background ;-) --Llez (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the lizard camouflage is probably the most interesting here: it has yellow spots to match the lichen on the rock. The moult process can also be seen. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We use 50% DEET in mosquito-rich malaria areas where we really don't want to get bitten and otherwise use Equine America's Fly Repel Gel which is made for horses and comes in a huge 500ml pot costing ~ £12 and is the most brilliant substance you can buy. Charles (talk) 13:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support The face makes it. I'd have cropped a little more tightly, but I defer to Charles' judgement if he likes it more like this (and obviously he's not alone).

When I can, I try not to see the author of the image because that predisposes me positively or negatively to the photo, if I had known it was Charles, I would never have doubted him. All this said, After having made a search and seen your video, I realized my mistake. It is as if someone had placed a head of a small cow, perhaps a genetic modification of the same nature. --Photographer00:32, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I can confirm that this particular species of antelope does indeed have a small head. It may look like it's fake but it is in reality a strangeness of nature. Take a look at other images of the species and you will see that it's true.--Peulle (talk) 07:53, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I actually agree about the lines, this is sort of "neither here nor there". If you can't make a centered compo, it's usually better to take it to the other extreme and make it very off-center instead. Something like this (ok, distorted, but I only had your photo to work with, not the real thing). --Cart(talk)17:27, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The lines are not working for me. Making the benches horizontal would have been better, which means placing the camera parallel to the background. One seat / two seats should not really be a problem, just an asymmetrical image, not necessarily bad, while here it's too wild. Also the cut part on the right in the foreground is intrusive. Finally I'm not finding the composition successful -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose renominating a photo that failed to garner 7 votes in a nomination that closed 3 days ago. Not voting also counts as a lack of interest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:19, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan Kekek I think that you're being a bit too negative. If the previous nom was generally opposed or only had 2 people in favor then I would agree that re-nominating an image shortly after a previous unsuccessful nomination might not be very likely to lead to the image passing, but that's not the case here. --Pine✉05:34, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd really prefer for you to nominate something else. Even though I previously supported this nomination, I noted problems with the photo. There are other photos that have never been nominated, and I just disagree with the idea of continually renominating photos until they get approved. There is sometimes a reason to renominate, but surely not 3 days later. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:31, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As I understand it, quick re-nominations are ok if the image is significantly altered from the previous nom, not just to nag the present FPC community to vote for it. In half a year, the then voters may come to a different conclusion. --Cart(talk)10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose Allowing such a quick renomination would be tantamount to ruining FPC, as all nominators who had their nominations fail could immediately renominate their image multiple times. Frankly, I find it shows a lack of respect of the voting process. Perhaps we should discuss a rule change: that an image can only be nominated once a year or something.--Peulle (talk) 11:30, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral There are several similar pictures in the same category (example this one or that one ), but for this kind of "abstract" shot where all is in the balance, I think the quality must be really impressive, like perfect DoF or focus stacked. While here the focus is on the wooden wall, the subject being slightly unsharp -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:10, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Two thoughts about it: I'm wondering if the image could benefit of a bit more contrast, saturation and maybe brightness, it looks a bit flat.

Oppose It's a solid QI and a good capture, but it doesn't quite work as an FP for lack of wow factor. For me, it's the angle with the player being turned away from the camera that is lacking.--Peulle (talk) 07:35, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Technically made wrong with inappropriate camera settings for sports photography. Overexposed highlights in the bright sun. 55mm are too wide for tennis and at f/7.1 you have no chance at all to separate the subject from the background. Furthermore as has already been pointed out the composition is not the best. Tennis is a very fast kind of sports and one definetely needs a faster camera than a D3200. This image e.g. is way better, but with the ball to far away from the player and at just 4 fps in the next shot the ball is already too close. Another quite good shot, but no ball and at f/5.6 no separation of the background. --Granada (talk) 10:53, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's fascinating how the artists could make simple straight or curved lines look like sky or water. So simple, yet effective.--Peulle (talk) 14:59, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Info yes, there is the drawing but also the quality of the engraver. we can note that the perspectives are not very well mastered but it gives a charm - like the Egyptian drawings.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 15:13, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel, I think you man "since it is a pen-and-ink line drawing" rather than "since it is 2D". PNG would be preferable but only if saved as PNG as early as possible and before retouching (ideally from the original scan, but at least when taken from the source archive). Changing this retouched JPG to PNG would not achieve anything useful. -- Colin (talk) 07:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin: You're right, that was how I meant to say it. As I suggested in the nomination above, it would probably be best to start again from scratch if the uploader wanted to do that. Daniel Case (talk) 17:38, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This image is a gradient of gray, the paper background is light gray the png is not good for this type of image. PNG is good for vector image copying.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 19:07, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
S. DÉNIEL it isn't the colour that is relevant but the fact that the ink creates a high contrast edge much like vector images or text does. JPG is designed for photographic or painted works where there is not much high contrast lines and edges. The compression algorithm simply can't handle the abrupt transition from dark to light, and you get little gnats flying around the edges. PNG on the other hand has no problem with this, but doesn't compress so well. Additionally, for restoration work, you need a lossless save/load cycle, so our best restorationists here always use TIFF or PNG. -- Colin (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Although pen-and-ink, the original had tones created by the edges of the lines and the crossed lines, which are a lost when the contrast has been boosted to pure black. I also dislike removing the colour of the paper, which would never have been pure white. Also, at the bottom of the original (now cropped off) is the text "engraving by an anonymous engraver at the end of the seventeenth century" which would seem to disagree with the authorship claimed here. -- Colin (talk) 07:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No it is not about pen-and-ink but an engraving. It is not a drawing by hand but printing. That's why the image is very contrasted. That's why there are lines to make heaven (as Peulle said). Engraving + Printing = Full and Hollow = Black or White There are no gradients.
The editing is made to find this initial state: a white paper and black lines (engraving). I voluntarily remove the text from the bottom : it is a recent addition and it is wrong. It comes from the donor, the leclerc foundation. The Leclerc family owns supermarkets: www.fonds-culturel-leclerc.fr They are very rich but have no historical expertise.
If you had look at the source I give it all this information : Type document: PRINT - Reproduced type: ESTAMPE - Origin of the document: Private collection Edouard Leclerc - Observations: Burin engraving by an anonymous engraver late eighteenth century.
Sorry, but that is not entirely correct. Old inks used in prints were never totally black, that is a later invention. That is why you see faint shifts in color in the "black" lines. Also the papers were not of the dense, compact qualities we get today, but more porous (and never as white as this) so the ink leaked out a bit from the black areas. I'm sure an 18th century printer would be ecstatic if s(he) saw this image, because this is what they were striving for but could never do. --Cart(talk)19:40, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ok cart, mais j'ai répondu a quelqu'un qui a cru que c'était un dessin à la plume et à l'encre. C'est surtout l'usure de la plaque qui finissait par rendre imprécis les lignes. Une première impression pouvait atteindre une très grande finesse. Cela dit j'ai mis les deux versions et il suffit de comparer les deux pour voir que ma retouche ne retire rien. Regarde toi-même les deux images, l'une a coté de l'autre et jugera par toi-même. N’oublions pas que ce qu’on appelle original n’est qu’un scan --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 20:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
S. DÉNIEL, you are right I wasn't paying enough attention and it is in fact an engraving. But as Cart says, the effect of real ink on real paper creates at the fibre level shades and tones. When you increase the contrast as much as this, the square pixels become the edges, and it looks rough. -- Colin (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pas de problème, chacun a ses propres goûts. Cela dit, si on regarde la photo de l’indien ci-dessous. On demande à ce qu’elle soit restaurée et il y a peu de votant. Idem sur le carte ci dessus.

Les restaurations sont acceptables, mais elles doivent être effectuées avec soin et avec beaucoup de sensibilité. Une restauration consiste à conserver l'objet, pas à l'améliorer ni à le moderniser. --Cart(talk)08:09, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Typical of nautical maps. Not much information on the land, only remarkable reliefs. Anchors to indicate refuge places for boat when there is storm. the small crosses indicate the reefs and the point seedling the sandbanks. The text is interresting. If the cartographer is French the cartridge is in German and the denominations are in different languages. The card is a little bit yellow but his interest is enough to name it.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 20:19, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Info Yes, despite the fact that this map looks simple on first shight, it gave very useful information to the past users, as you very well spotted! I never thought of the French Bellin writing the cartuche in German. Possibly because it was published in Germany (Nuremberg).
Info It is vertical on the left side, horizontal on the top, but the other two sides are left as they appear, as the borders of the map ware drawn by hand and are not 100% parallel with the opposite side. Actia Nicopolis (talk) 21:33, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There was a small purple starfish about as well ( can be seen top left in this photo) but it refused to be in frame at the same time as the jellyfish. :) For me there is an additional wow that the water so clear, it is possible to shoot these things in their natural habitat and not just in an aquarium. --Cart(talk)10:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Both interpretations of this "short distance" are valid. In one case, why shouldn't we pay attention to them ? And in the other case also, why the others are distracting ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:59, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Delist and replace the differences are noticeable when viewed at 100%, and I would prefer to have both ENWP and Commons have the same version as featured. --Pine✉ 06:58, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Keep My display is excellent and I'm not saying both images are exactly the same, just the difference is so insignificant it doesn't justify a delist and replace in my opinion. There's also still some noise in the new version. This picture has been promoted just last month, so ok to keep it as it is for me -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
