Consensual review[edit]

File:Abel Korzeniowski at FMF byVetulani 01.JPG[edit]

  • Nomination Polish composer Abel Korzeniowski. --Francesco 13 20:21, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline Noise over there, but aceptable --The Photographer 18:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Not really sharp, and I think the colours are dubious. Weak  Oppose. Mattbuck 21:35, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Unsufficiant white balance. Somewhat too soft due to wide open aperture. Noise is acceptable. Can probably be enhanced by rework from Raw file. -- Smial 15:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Poznan 10-2013 img11 Jesuit College.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Former Jesuit College in Poznań, Poland --A.Savin 15:41, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline Overprocessed. --Smial 16:36, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
    It's not overprocessed, it's an HDR image. --A.Savin 16:41, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
    Ok, so it is an overprocessed HDR image. -- Smial 16:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I tend to agree with Smial--Jebulon 14:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Unsharp, chromatic aberration, yellow channel satured --The Photographer 19:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment In detail: Main problem is the very unnatural appearance. The sky is darker than its own reflections on the cars, and the facades of the buildings are getting darker in the upper parts than in the lower. Additionally the strong brightening in the dark parts of the image produces massive noise, i.e. in the surfaces of the black cars. I'm the least one who would decline an image because of too much noise, if high ISO is necessary to get a good shot under difficult circumstances (stage photography, sports etc.), but if you brighten ISO100 shots partially by 4 f-stops those parts will look noisy like ISO1600. There are also many chromatic artifacts i.e. in the traffic signs and at edges at the buildings, probably also due to tone mapping. HTH. -- Smial 14:34, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I've never been happy with HDR (my HDR images) (btw it gives the image a strange blur as to this one), a pity mayby you could work on one of the single images in a "conventional" way, the composition is very good imo --Moroder 17:20, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Redland railway station MMB 16.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination: Redland railway station. Mattbuck 10:58, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Review  Comment The image needs perespective correction. Please.--XRay 08:43, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
    I don't know I can really, and on reflection I'm not sure this is QI anyway. Mattbuck 19:57, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
     Comment Let's give the image to discussion.--XRay 17:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

File:USB 3.0 plug, type B - 1709.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Ein Stecker für USB 3.0 des Typ B. --Anıl Öztaş 16:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Near edge ooF/blurry, DoF too shallow, strange artifacts --Kreuzschnabel 10:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
    • Maybe F5.6 wasn't the ideal aperture for this kind of shot, but is the rear part of the cable so important? The image should show the plug. Which artifacts do you criticize? --Anıl Öztaş 17:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
      • I was talking about the near edge (of the plug), not about the rear cable outlet. Artifacts are around most of the edges (which are unsharp). --Kreuzschnabel 08:57, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose DoF too small, see right side of the near part. --Dirtsc 16:30, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose At least the blue connector parts should be sharp. --Tuxyso 08:30, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

    Brightened. Mattbuck 21:10, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Sorry, but the left train is too blurry. I understand that it is moving, but then a shorter shutter time would have helped, which appears to have been well possible when seeing that the picture was shot at ISO 100. --DXR (talk) 16:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

==[edit]

  • Nomination A turtle with an unproportional big head as a plushie. --Anıl Öztaş 17:58, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline Very nice, but - sorry - not sharp enough (f/6.3). --XRay 13:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
    Mh, I just saw after your message, that the focus was set on the rear eye of the turtle. Too bad, I didn't notice while taking the picture. --Anıl Öztaş 17:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

    It was dark and miserable. The light is correct IMO. Mattbuck 21:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
    After suggestion, I have changed the colour balance. Mattbuck 20:41, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support QI IMO --Christian Ferrer 06:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Weak  Support The branches of that tree are somewhat disturbing, but this is a matter of taste and i won't decline therefore. Good photos don't need in any case bright sunshine. Technically ok and atmospheric colours. -- Smial 14:47, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose In opposite to my vote on the image of Swinsty Reservoir, I think, such extreme dull lighting conditions are not adequate for architectural photography. -- Smial 14:53, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

File:East Midlands Parkway railway station MMB 19.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination: East Midlands Parkway. Mattbuck 10:58, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Nomination Construction site of the new locks at the river alster in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel. --Dirtsc 12:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose almost half of the picture is in shadow, which is disturbing along the handrail at left. The strange thing at bottom right ruins the composition too, sorry.--Jebulon 20:06, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
    I made a new version (cropped and with brighter shadows). So lets see, what a CR will bring. --Dirtsc 19:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Lagarto_(Sceloporus_mucronatus),_Zona_arqueológica_de_Cantona,_Puebla,_México,_2013-10-11,_DD_05.JPG[edit]

  • Promotion dark image, poor composition not a QI to me, sorry --Alberto-g-rovi 05:20, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
    What? The lizzard is almost black and is well exposed, the composition is actually fine to me, but THAT'S NO ARGUMENT FOR QIC --Poco a poco 15:01, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Visalia_Bus_Transit_Center_Partial_view_2013.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Partial View of Visalia Bus Transit Center --Tuxyso 08:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Promotion  Comment Difficult. There is only a part of street lamp on the right and a lot of shadows. May be another another opinion would be helpful.--XRay 08:41, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Usually it is required to have two different opinions to change to Discuss. I see no problem with this image. I find the partial lighting interesting and the shadows are not that dark (compared to other successfull QI shots here). --Tuxyso 07:19, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

  •  Support Green lighting makes green images. Looks natural to me. ;-) -- Smial 15:19, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Rievaulx Terrace MMB 02.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Rievaulx Terrace. Mattbuck 11:08, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion Good quality. --Poco a poco 12:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC) Oppose dark part is too dark, centered composition is uninspired. I ask for a discussion, please,--Jebulon 19:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support maybe the shadows a bit dark, acceptable IMO --Christian Ferrer 19:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Weak  Support A small amount of brightening would help, but ok as for Christian. -- Smial 15:22, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support Good quality: the darker parts of the photograph do not bother me much. A question about the file description: is "ugly building which is completely out of place" a personal opinion or is this a regionally distributed term for this building? --High Contrast 20:45, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Nomination Crete: Bay of Malia --Taxiarchos228 17:11, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

  •  Comment curved horizon, stitching issues on the bottom right corner and on the sky. --Iifar 18:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
    • the curved horizont is easy to correct but the little curve is IMO for such a panorama ok, have checked the corner, can't see stitching issues --Taxiarchos228 19:09, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
      •  Comment varying sharp and blurry frames are clearly visible on that corner. --Iifar 19:37, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
        • which is not really a significant problem IMO --Taxiarchos228 19:39, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose until those issues are fixed. --Iifar 19:47, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
a curved horizont is not a issue, it's a matter of taste. the image was shade down. --Taxiarchos228 09:24, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

  •  Support As far as I know Poco a poco does not use HDR (as he has said plenty of times to me) :) I guess, the hightlights had been reduced and became slightly gray. I would suggest to keep VERY bright light rays very bright and not gray - you cannot recovert details there. But nonetheless the photo is QI for me. --Tuxyso 17:28, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Not so good, the other photo of the Iris is much better --Uoaei1 14:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  Oppose This is not the right place for this kind of nominations --Poco a poco 22:53, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 Support I disagree. Neither in [1] nor in [2] I can find criteria to decline the image. There are exactly two issues with this photo: It is black&white and it has strong film grain, but this is the subject of the image. Exposure, composition, lighting, sharpness, size, no jpg-artifacts - all is fine. --Smial 10:27, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Review I added a cat and adjusted some features (brightness, curves,...) in order that this image fits at least the basic conditions, but considering the composition and the size (1,920 × 1,080), I’m not sure that it will reach the threshold for QI.

  • I'm afraid the bell tower is leaning to the left.--Jebulon 20:35, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

 Comment Yes, the bell tower is leaning. Yes, the author did a significant correction, but not enough to make all lines straight. Yes, its not easy for an image like this (total view of a church with tower) to become a QI given the actual rules. ;-) I would say, this is a QI, but I know, that a lot of reviewers would deny this, because of not-parallel verticals. And if you set all verticals parallel, the tower would look far higher than it is in reality. --Dirtsc 17:13, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

    • ??? poor composition this is not FPC, and yes, this is a boring encyclopic shot of the building, but that is no reason to decline a QI --Poco a poco 12:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
      •  Support Of course composition is also a criterion for QI. But I don't see any problems here preventing it from beeing QI. It is not really a harmonic and nice one and therefore will never be FP, but it depicts the subject well enough to be QI. --LC-de 10:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
        • Composition in terms of not having an unfortunate crop, but a candidate shouldn't be rejected for being uninterersting, that was my remark, Alberto is using this argument frequently Poco a poco 15:17, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support good, composition is a relevant argument only if it is very disturbing, and here it's not --Christian Ferrer 11:56, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support As for Christian. Composition alone should never be a reason to decline a QI, because this is much a matter of taste. Can of course be used as an additional argument for thumbs up or thumbs down. -- Smial 15:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Review
  •  Oppose It's not exactly a photo of the staircase but an artists impression of the staircase after applying some fancy filters. In my opinion this should be clearly pointed out in the description of the photo. As long as there is no appropriate tag, I will vote against that photo even when it was promoted in the WLM contest. Plus there are no EXIF data; I consider this to be a minus point in the assessment. --Cccefalon 11:07, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

    Ok, lets discuss if missing EXIF data and fancy filter orgies are really what we want at QI assessment. --Cccefalon 11:25, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
    Your statements are contradictory, is the problem the missing tag or the picture itself? I am no fried of overprocessed pictures, but I don't think that it is ugly in this case. Poco a poco 14:05, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
    •  Support It is exactly a photo of the staircase. I've just used Sigma 10-20/4.5-5.6 lens and that's all! No other 'fancy filters', no 'fireworks', just some curve adjustment layer to highlight very dynamic and light full of contrasts. Some areas are overexposed and I wanted them to be like that. Missing EXIF? Is it MANDATORY? I've saved it in 'save to the web' mode. --Jar.ciurus 21:30, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

    • underexposed for a photo taken 01:38 am?--ArildV 07:17, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
      • Sorry, but it's clearly underexposed. You can use longer exposure or higher ISO or bigger aperture or take picture at daytime --Shansov.net 08:56, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
        • Thank you very much for your very advanced photography lesson. Extremely unnecessary of course, and a very poor substitute for answering why you think the image is underexposed? If you claim that this night shot is underexposed, you must be able to tell what is too dark in the picture. Are you saying that the sky, the snow or the trees are in fact brighter in reality in middle of the night?--ArildV 09:08, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
  • weak  Support Underexposure for a night shot is something like a bad joke :) Quality is OK, but the blurr at the bottom right is not so nice. --Tuxyso 09:26, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment It's nonsense talk, that it is underexposed. More disturbing is the bright area in the foreground which attracts the attention and is very blurry. I would propose to crop it. Also, there is a blurry red spot, which might derive from a waterdrop on the lense (I made an annotation). There is a lot of motion blur in the branches of the trees. --Cccefalon 07:39, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
    •  Comment Thanks for note. I think the red light/spot comes from an outdoor lamp on a cabin, above the light is what looks like a snow-covered roof.
    • I understand the comment about the foreground but I think a crop would destroy the balance of the image.--ArildV 14:53, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose but it was not an easy decision. The exposure is good and the sharpness in the center of the image is also good. Overall a nice shot, the small red area does not bother me. But… all near objects are unsharp, what is very disturbing. Why didn't you use f/5,6 or more and a longer exposure time (as you did it with 30 s already, there should have been 60 s or more possible). --Dirtsc 18:02, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

  • weak  Support Noisy and nearly overexposed but overall OK. Nice pic. --Kreuzschnabel 14:11, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Are you in a mild christmas mood, guys? The motif of this photo is nice of course and useful for WP, but it is lacking quality characteristics we recommend for almost every other photo. It is very noisy and is very unsharp on top. At least the first issue could easily be fixed. Another issue that could be considered to be neglectable are the large burnt out areas of the candelabra. --Cccefalon 07:47, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
    • I rather have some noise than loss of detail in pixel pulp. About the top edge being unsharp, its an extreme wide-angle shot. Most of the image is perfectly well detailed. --Kreuzschnabel 08:53, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

  •  Support I am not really convinced about the composition (statue looks out of the photo, green building disturbs). Also the church looks a bit distorted. Quality is OK. --Tuxyso 09:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC).
  •  Oppose IMO the composition is good with the statue (it works with the name of the church), but the persp. correction of the left tower is too much, and the top is blurry. I think a discussion could help. Thanks.--Jebulon 16:30, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
  • ✓ New version upload, please, give me some feedback Poco a poco 21:45, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Yes, better. But you chose a very difficult point of view and angle... The left tower was too much "stretched", it seems acceptable now (even stil blurry at top). Maybe you should reduce the width too: the rosace is oval and not round, and the persons look a bit too wide. But it is only my poor opinion, dear Poco.--Jebulon 09:56, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
