  • Promotion
  •  Support Good quality and gives a good view of the area. WikiLaurent 18:15, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
  • If "somewhere in France" is not meaningful enough, I don't understand why "somewhere in Poland" is a sufficient title for nomination.----Jebulon 19:31, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
    • I don't rate the description here, I rate the file description and the one of the Poland file is much more detailed than the one of the French ones. WikiLaurent 19:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
      • Sorry, you used the word "title", and not "description file". Furthermore, if I'm not wrong, you don't have to remove back yourself my "discuss" into a "promote", please.--Jebulon 21:53, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
        • Ok my mistake then, I should have written "description" and not "title". I still think that this image should be promoted for the reason given above. Is there any reason why you think it shouldn't? WikiLaurent 10:04, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Decline Sorry but quality images must have a title more meaningful than "somewhere in France". WikiLaurent 18:13, 26 June 2010 (UTC) Where stays this rule, you apply for France and not for Poland ?...--Jebulon 19:28, 26 June 2010 (UTC) Well since you're checking my contributions, perhaps you should also check the description of the Polish file. WikiLaurent 19:49, 26 June 2010 (UTC) Sorry, "title" is not "description of the Polish file". The "title" of this pano is exactly the same (except the country) than the polish one, "somewhere in France" is no more, no less than "somewhere in Poland", and you know that --Jebulon 21:57, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

     Comment For me it's in general (scene, details, colours etc.) good although it's still a bit too noisy, true. People here and there complained what still should be improved which is why I uploaded so many versions. It's hard to make them all happy. If you want it to be less noisy, I can try it … DerHexer 22:34, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

  • ✓ Done Tilt corrected, better now ?--Jebulon 20:19, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Promotion
  •  Support Good -- Smial 23:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose WB problems and slightly oversaturated. Lycaon 10:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
    • (slight ec) where are you seeing wb problems (& indeed over saturation)? --Herbythyme 16:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
  • What white balance and oversaturation problems? Can't see anything of this. Perhaps slightly overexposed, but this is not disturbing. -- Smial 16:23, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support Do not see problems here. QI to me. Agree with Herby and Smial --Jebulon 21:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Histogram does not lie and objectively sees oversaturation in blue channel hence WB problem. Lycaon 22:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Don't rely on histograms with images that have only one or few dominant colours, in this case white and blue. Please look at the histograms of these featured picture candidates, all three would have white balance problems, if you look only at the histogram: File:Citrus paradisi (Grapefruit, pink) white bg.jpg File:Another brick on the wall.jpg File:Jellyfish aqurium.jpg. Our candidate here has slight blueish whites, which is not astonishing if you see the nearly complete blue sky which is reflected by the snow. Please have also a look at File:Kutiny (11) rgb FFFFFF.jpg, where I have marked all parts, that have rgb FFFFFF - these areas are very small and not disturbing. -- Smial 00:07, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Personally I agree with Smial - this is not uncommon in such landscape photography. --Herbythyme 08:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Reviewing it in more detail in image software. I do not see the histogram tells the story Lycaon does and I agree with the detail of Smial argument. There is a small amount of clipping which could easily be resolved. --Herbythyme 08:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment -- Am I the only noticing the OOF trees? -- Alvesgaspar 19:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
There are more problems (such as CA on those blurry trees). Lycaon 21:39, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose -- Yes, there are -- Alvesgaspar 22:07, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support - CA is the only issue I see, and it isn't unusually or distractingly obtrusive. I'm not a photography expert, but WB/oversaturation issues are overblown in my opinion. Juliancolton 02:51, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose idea is good, but composition could be better (background, focus) --Mbdortmund 19:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The main issue is the composition; it's a little hard to tell that the foreground object is supposed to be a hand, and the black object in the background is a little odd. --King of Hearts 23:58, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Comment I'm sorry, but I disagree with the opponents about the title or the category. IMO, opposing for these reasons is wrong. Nothing here is against the QI rules. @Carschten: yes, a bit, you are right. THIS is a good reason for an opposing vote, but you didn't, thxs...--Jebulon 23:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
     Comment My vote is not against name, but against content of image. First of all, image must illustrate something. What does this image illustrate? Almost nothing (most important objects are sky, dark fence, road and blurry bushes). I see no meaning. Just a casual picture. --Kae 14:22, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

A certain value is also necessary for QI, see Commons:Quality images candidates/Intro#Value. --Quartl (talk) 10:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Sure, but this image meets that minimal standard by a long way. How else would you depict head spinning in a single image? --99of9 02:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Vote withdrawn, I'll leave that case for others to decide. AFAIK, head spinning is not a particular trait of sparrows, but the image may be valuable for illustrating motion blur. --Quartl 11:52, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment Okay. I don't mind anyone that says that a image I submitted is noisy, or unsharp, or that it was too small, or that it generally sucks. Tell me that shot sucks and I'm fine with it and I'll lose precisely twenty seconds of sleep over it. I am cool with that. But to be accused of patent dishonesty by two people: well, no fucking way. If you call me a liar, you'd better actually go out and photograph some birds before you have the right to do that. You'd better have blown off thousands of pictures of sparrows at 8 frames a second to get one shot you like before you have the right to say that I'm lying and that I just did a bit of swirling in Photoshop. At the very goddamn least, I'm going to call you out and ask you what those "symptoms of fake (motion blur in photoshop) were, otherwise I'm going to say that you're full of shit. Call it crap if you like. Fine. But I am not going to be called a liar. Collard 01:30, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment You have my sympathy. I think that their suspicion shows what a valuable image this is, because it depicts a true phenomenon that they simply cannot believe is true. Hence your opportunity to educate them - thankyou for sharing your image (it sounds like it was the result of much hard work!). Unfortunately I cannot support for QI, because it does not meet the technical standards, but I do think that some of the comments you got were in error (as well as failing to assume good faith!). --99of9 02:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

    The colors aren't a big deal IMO, especially since any more exposure (perhaps making the sky less blue and more "real") will completely blow out the white on the lighthouse. But vertical perspective needs to be fixed. --King of Hearts 16:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose There are a lot of problems. Disturbing background with strong tilt. Low quality of small details (due to too strong jpeg compression or noise reduction?). Poor white balance (it is "auto" - not a good idea; why did not you calibrate white balance by white pattern?). Short focal length (portrait looks better if focal length is long). Portrait was taken from too high position; it would be better to place camera on same level as eyes of model (because we see other people from this position). --Kae (talk) 19:07, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Could you please show the sample of that "low quality details" for I could learn? WB is "auto" in EXIF data taken from RAW file, so you have to deny that value.

  •  Comment -- As Mbdortmund, I also don't think original artwork (if this is artwork indeed) should be assessed here. I'm not aware of Commons' policy but this situation appears similar to Wikipedia's original research limitation. -- Alvesgaspar 16:53, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Says who or which guideline? Ironically this image is used in many hentai articles and i didn't even add it to one article. Can't be so original. ^^ --Niabot 17:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Original research is about creating information that is not attributable to a reliable source. If you go by WP policy, there are restrictions on original imagery too. However typically apply to technical works (for example creating maps with made up boundaries to further a POV) - to quote "Original images created by a Wikipedian are not considered original research, so long as they do not illustrate or introduce unpublished ideas or arguments, the core reason behind the NOR policy.". Given our wider scope, even that restriction may not really be relevant on Commons. As for this image it appears to be a typical example of the genre - is there any aspect of the image that introduces a new concept beyond what is normally in hentai, that would mislead the reader into what hentai actually was? In fact from that POV, I'd applaud Niabot from choosing to illustrate it in a manner that does actually limit the explicit nature (the genitialia are concealed).
  • Bear in mind that ultimately all photographs are original artworks, the photographer has chosen the composition, settings on camera to produce desired effect (unless it is a slavish copy of the subject or a previous work). If we are to ban original artwork we might as well close QI completely.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:49, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
  • OK, I'm convinced: it seems clear that the concept of 'original research' does not apply. However the issue raised by Mbdortmund on evaluating artwork is still valid as QIC is not supposed to do such thing. -- Alvesgaspar 22:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The perspective is too strange, and the guy's body proportions don't look quite right. WikiLaurent 16:05, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The man(?)s legs look like they have a different skin tone to his body (legs have a lot of extra red and purple). The cats tail has a strange section that is much darker than the rest of the cat (apparently due to a glass reflection, but along with many of the reflections in this image, it doesn't look like a typical reflection to me, and anyway if on a photo might be adjudicated as poor lighting due to odd reflections). Also it doesn't look much like a real cat, but perhaps that is part of the style (though not mentioned on the description or in the Wiki article). Many elements of the scene are cut by the edge of the image (chin, ear, clothes, headphone), which in a photograph would probably cause me to critique this image as poorly composed. The woman(?)s eyelashes are on top of her hair, perhaps this is part of the style (please comment??), but her hair edges are then on top of the eyelashes, which must be plain and simple poor quality. Ditto for the hair going under the eye, not mentioned in en wiki's w:Anime#Eye_styles. 99of9 05:13, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Its an drawing in comic style, never expect to see pure realism.
  • Ok, I've struck that objection. 99of9 11:11, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, but this composition is no where near comparable with those. Close crops are indeed sometimes useful, but IMO not when they slice through important parts of important objects. --99of9 11:11, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Eyebrows are usually on top of the hair, eyelashes/eyes also. Someone should inform himself before talking nonsense and making himself a clown. Just look at the previous examples. Not enough, there thousands more: [11], [12], [13], [14],... In short: You will find hair behind eyes, partially on top of it and on top of it. All variants are "legal" and commonly used. Even glasses can be shown behind the eyes.
  • I've struck the bit where I questioned the eyebrows, but now there is still the problem that the edges of the hair are over the eyebrow (on one of the eyebrows). This is probably easy to fix. --99of9 11:11, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
All shows me, that the voter had/has low knowledge regarding to anime or manga, but is still confident enough to vote. A shame if you ask me. Maybe he should regard to Dieter Nuhrs popular sentence: "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat: Einfach mal Fresse halten,". --Niabot 09:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I agree I'm not an expert. If you limit yourself to those who know anime or manga well, you are unlikely to get much discussion. Many of the aspects I did not know about were clearly marked as questions. My lack of expertise doesn't mean I am unable to see deficiencies. This is after all a discussion. I've struck the bits you've convinced me on, but there are still quite a few issues remaining. --99of9 11:11, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I din't state that no other user should be invited, but he should expect to be wrong in some aspects, if he has little knowledge. In that case he should look up some references, which easy with images for anime or manga, since there thousands of pictures available to look at. Anyway, i fixed the hair issue. I corrected the cat a little, even it might be wrong physically. I also corrected the colors of the male leg region and the bottom of the picture. Any crop before the start of the head looks odd to me, but the head shouldn't be included. The headphones are placed intentionally, since a removal would leave a large empty space, which would imbalance the image. (Cutting an cable is an issue, if it isn't the main motive?) As i stated above in art you are free to choose any kind of perspective, even impossible ones. --Niabot (talk) 12:09, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
  • It sure seemed like you were asking me not to vote [15]. Anyway, I'm glad you've accepted some of my suggestions. The cat is fixed. The legs are better, but I think still darker than they should be relative to the rest of the body. The hair edges still seem to be in front of the eyebrows - I can't see the fix? I understand the headphone and clothes are just a creative difference, but the face sliver still seems problematic since it's part of an important object. --99of9 12:12, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Its like with the eyes. Outlines can be in front. Some artists don't draw the eyebrows on top, instead they draw only the outlines above, and vice versa. The rule behind this is simple: There is no rule how to do it, it varies from artist to artist, or even image to image. (I fixed the hair bangs, that didn't reached the eyelines).
  • The legs are darker, because you have light from top-right side, naturaly you have an shadow-occlusion (like ambient occlusion, [16]) in this area. So the legs should be darker. That would not be the case if i used the more simple flat-shading ([17]).
  • The cropped face: "You can try to create an different crop, if you found any solution call me." I tried many things, but there will never be an better solution. Since it is intentional cropped. (warning, may be explicit: [18], [19], [20], ...)

    • Its more about the subject of the genre than the style. And the subject is clearly defined. --Don-kun 14:49, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Hentai is a genre and not an art style. Also the style of Anime and Manga isn't ruled by one single artist. It has many common features, but also thousands of different artists with their own style. This is definitely not comparable to your examples. --Niabot 15:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

    •  Question Are you sure? I found 3 Pixel with colour FFFFFF. --Berthold Werner 07:54, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
      •  Comment FFFFFF is plain white, and if it were that, I would have written it. It is mainly the red RGB channel that is overexposed. The blue channel is OK, and the green channel has only a small overexposed spot. All together it makes the effect that I described with "bleaching color". However, you need not decompose the channels to see the effect. Technical analysis is only for finding the reason. Just look at the picture and see how the color of the wall deviates from its actual color in the region at question, because the camera could not get the correct red value any more. --JRff (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

  •  Comment QI is about the technical quality of the photo. Whether the subject is hidden or not is irrelevant here, as long as the hiding factors are photographed properly. Lycaon 08:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
    •  Comment Here where also photographs declined because of "hidden by trees", "distracting somewhat" or "poor composition". IMHO it's part of the technical quality, that the subject is not to much hidden. In this case it may be right to say the hidding elements are part of the subject. Therefore no vote by me. --Berthold Werner 06:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support of course the composition could be better, but the quality is very good --Carschten 14:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
    I'm new to QIC and I have to say I'm quite confused with QI's criteria. I have seen many pictures being rejected for having "distracting" elements (see for instance this recent one). In this particular case, the quality itself is ok but the house, the subject of the picture, is nearly half hidden by bushes and a grid. I would definitely call that distracting, or am I missing something? WikiLaurent 23:22, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
    You are not the only one that gets confused ;-). QIC regularly attracts new contributors who have not yet familiarized themselves with the purpose and guidelines (and rules!) of QI. This is both the case for nominators and assessors. Lycaon 08:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support Technical quality is certainly good enough for QI. The subject is pretty common indeed, but those subjects can be beautiful too, and the whole composition is well done. The rather ordinary "hiding" or "distracting" factors (the trees and bushes, the very ordinary but typical gate) are a surplus value here IMO, and make it a pleasant composition. -- MJJR 15:05, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Nomination: Architectural elements (vault and bosse, XVIth century) in church Saint Etienne du Mont in Paris--Jebulon 22:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Review  Support Good. Trace 11:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
     Oppose Interesting picture but for me it's too noisy --Croucrou 22:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC) Well, there is no really "noise", but I understand what you mean. The stones here are really so "grainy", and no "pure white" or "flat". That's what I wanted to show... Let's see in CR...--Jebulon 09:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose Like Croucrou I see a strange pattern that can only originate from noise, although (in camera) software noise reduction seems to have transformed the familiar noise pattern into something more unusual. The reason why I say it is noise without having been in this church myself is the following: The patterns do not follow the form of the stone structures, but they seem to lie above. They are strongest in the dark parts of the picture and almost invisible in the bright parts. This is exactly the behaviour of noise, and it speaks against the assumption that the speckles are on the stones in reality. --Johannes Robalotoff 15:48, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

  •  Support even I see the noise too, it is QI for me: you can see clearly the stones and the structure of the vault and I can not find any better photo of this issue on commons. But maybe Jebulon can visit place again to do another shoot with less then 1250 ISO? --J. Lunau 16:54, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
    •  Comment Please note that "cannot find any better photo of this issue" is a criterion for VI (valued image), but no argument for QI. --Johannes Robalotoff 17:40, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
      •  Comment Thanks everybody for reviewing ! All comments (pro or contra) are precious for me because I'm trying my new camera... @J.Lunau : yes, I can ! I'll do so soon. First I will propose you a less processed version of this pic in a few days.--Jebulon 00:07, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

  • @Archaeodontosaurus: elle n'est pas sauvable s'il y a des problèmes rédhibitoires de composition et de netteté. En ce qui concerne les couleurs, je la vois vraiment comme ça ; c'est peut-être parce que je suis daltonien que je n'ai pas vu les reflets rouges de l'autre photo et que je vois mieux les contrastes de celle-ci que vous ; j'ai essayé d'éclaircir le fond et le premier plan, et ça me plait toujours moins que cette version ci. Je préfère être honnête et proposer des photographies dont je suis content.
    @Berthold Werner: I have no problem with my photographs getting rejected. I do have a problem with photographs getting rejected because they approach the quality of studio shots and consequently get judged by far more stringent criterias ; it's like the better your photograph, the lower your chances of getting promoted are. Compare that with many photographs below on the way to promotion though they are casual shots of trivial subjects, in easy conditions and with little encyclopedic interest. That's a systemic issue, not something I bring up because one of my images is not promoted. -- Rama 11:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
  • If you think I act unjustly you may change the status to Discuss to get more votes. --Berthold Werner 12:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

I have absolutely no quarel on this respect (I'm not entirely agreed on the darkness and the composition but that's a matter of opinion, I do agree on the softness on the image). My point is that the guidelines lead to paradoxal results. -- Rama 16:30, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
;-) Sometimes I also think so, when photographs of for example an ordinary street junction are promoted. But here we don't take account for difficult circumstances, but only for the final result. --Berthold Werner 13:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Maybe the optimum would be three quarters of QI and a quarter of VP. But that sort of thoughs and fitfy pence will buy me a coffee. Rama 20:51, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

  • I agree with Niabot; variations in transparency and the elevated POV may cause the apparent curvature in the "horizon". The true horizon is partially obscured, I think. However, the image is a bit overexposed with loss of detail in the white foam on the water near the cliffs. It is a good picture otherwise, so no opinion. Wsiegmund 13:12, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

This to can see the rock art present in this granite stone, at least 5,000 years old, and very, extremely worn. Otherwise, without seeking the overexposure of light reflection on the wet stone and the contrast of the shadow of the rows would not be possible to visualize the zoomorphic, cups and rings and other reasons. --Lansbricae 10:21, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I understand both comments here. IMO, some shadows of vegetals are disturbing a little. However, maybe a perspective correction could help, to show the engravings as "flat" as possible, like if you were "above" the stone (not sure i'm clear, sorry).--Jebulon 15:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

  •  Comment -- Nothing in the rules forbids re-nominations -- Alvesgaspar 16:19, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
    •  Comment Maybe not, but in the past it was considered as "fair play" not to resubmit declined images unless they have been updated. Otherwise nominators can try re-submitting any declined image until once gets lucky and slicks through. Also, if renominating declined images would be allowed, than for consistency promoted images would also have to be allowed to be renominated (i.e. for delist). However when I brought into discussion a delist process, it was vehemently opposed. --Elekhh 03:39, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Not by me! I always defended that, unlike FPs, QIs should be delisted. In this particular case, I love the picture and can't understand why this love is not shared by everybody ;-) -- Alvesgaspar 11:34, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Promotion White walls slightly overexposured, else good; could you try a little darker exposure? --Mbdortmund 21:04, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
  • The walls don’t seem overexposed to me at all. Brick pattern is clearly visible and no detail is lost. Histogram looks fine too. --Saethwr 13:37, 15 July 2010 (UTC).

The tower tilts barely 0.3 degrees (!) to the right. You can’t even see that without measuring and I don’t think it’s worth adjusting it. --Saethwr 18:34, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
