File:Duisburg, Loveparade-Mahnmal, 2011-06 CN-04.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Love Parade monument (detail) --Carschten 17:27, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Decline  Weak oppose White candle is blown with CA as well. --Saffron Blaze 20:59, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
    candle not blown out, it's white. CA are not disturbing and very small --Carschten 15:06, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
     Comment Photoshop shows 251,255,255 in the central area of the candle but the majority of the candle is less than blown as you point out. Just seems to glow to me and I am not talking about the flame. Saffron Blaze 16:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Promotion
  •  Support Maybe crop a bit tight above, but very good.--Jebulon 17:06, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose much too tight crop at top, bad quality/detail (compared e.g. at the man at the right) --Carschten 17:54, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support At 24Mpixel I don't expect pixel sharpness. Still surprising detail on the man. --Ikar.us 12:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support The people are inconequential, as the building is the main subject and it shows good detail. If a wider crop on top is available I recommend it be done, but if not this still meets QI. Saffron Blaze 16:29, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

    • Seems you are right about exposition, I will check if anything can be done. And where do you see the tilt? Thanks.--PereslavlFoto 11:48, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
      • Hi Pereslav, I marked three lines, where you can imo see the tilt --Mbdortmund 00:41, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
        • Thanks, I see now. AFAIR, a church dome must be straight vertical, and other lines could be tilted. The base of this dome is partly on the ground and partly on the sidewalk, and should I keep the buildings vertical, the dome apeears to be tilted.--PereslavlFoto 13:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

  • much better, but I'm not sure if it's good enough for QI. There's also a halo because of the backlight. I think it's the best to hear some other opinions here in CR. --Carschten 09:40, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support Much better. To me QI: the halo is not too strong--Lmbuga 13:30, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

  •  Support Good quality -- George Chernilevsky 08:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

  •  Support Disagree. The car is red and cannot be confused with the background. And it is in situ, I find the compo very realistic.--Jebulon 13:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Agree the crop is poor. Just because the picture contains two elements the nominator wanted to display doesn't mean it was composed well. Would work better as separate pictures of the memorial and the front face of the building, and a different time of day would improve the lighting on both. Colin 15:23, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

  • ??? there was no raw shot. W.S. 12:10, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Of course there was. There is no digital image on this world that didn't com from raw data from the sensor - whether the raw is saved and whether postprocessing was done in the camera or outside doesn't matter. -- H005 20:28, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
You are funny. There was no RAW saved. Wetenschatje 20:53, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
No, I am serious. It doesn't matter whether it was saved, I just see that this jpg is the result of something more than just simple JPG transfer of the raw data, and that this "something more" is something that, IMHO, ruined the image, sorry. -- H005 11:40, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

  •  Comment I think you will find a real disconnect between what may be considered a QI as per the image guidelines and what is expected of QI here. I find there is an over emphasis on a certain subset of technical achievents (I even have been guilty of this) and very little emphasis on value or artistic merit. I think your image is striking but I also know that it will never pass for a QI here because of the perspective issue.Saffron Blaze 09:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Distortion does not matter, because it is not a mistake but a special effect. Let us check the QI guidelines, and we read a supprise: Perspective distortion should either have a purpose. They do! — Yet I see CA to the left on the roof, noisy sky, and the whole image seems tilted — check the topmost cross. On the other hand, the lighting conditions are about perfect. The whole image is about emotions raised by the church.

It is a difficult building to photograph for several reasons: a) it is surrounded by construction sites / railways / highways; b) the building is huge (built 50-60000 viewers), c) there is no good vantage points. To take the picture I get up on a viaduct, where I had the choice between the pole and more trees.

      •  Comment I prefer my view that the histograms. if you take a piece of wall painted white or yellow shades, the histogram does not change and here it is not "natural".

        •  Comment Please, download the file and slightly reduce its brightness. Is it really your taste that that image does look more natural then? I have a completely different taste then, to me it doesn't look natural at all anymore, rather like shot through a pair of sunglasses. An image full of snow has to be white, not grey. And an image of a white wall too. The exposure is perfect here! But well, different people, different taste. -- H005 15:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
          •  Comment This is a local religion. People here do not like the bright sunny weather and avoid bright images filled with sunshine. They think white places are to be photoed gray. You may have no blown areas on the histogram, but they say «too light». White places are to be white? This is not a mainstream tradition here. No way for us.

I understand this was *redrawn*, and I've got to admit Niabot is an extremely good illustrator. But this is a replica of the original image by a non-Wikimedian. I must be missing something... Fred Hsu 17:59, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

    Of course, and I agree. I am objecting based on QI evaluation, not based on VI. My comment on 'value' is just that, a comment. Having said above, let me quote one of many QI quidelines: "Value - Our main goal is to encourage quality images being contributed to Wikicommons, valuable for Wikimedia and other projects." QI images do not exist for personal vanity. They should be uploaded and nominated with 'valuable' uses in mind, IMHO. Fred Hsu 01:59, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
    This Gród image of yours, for instance, is appropriately tagged as QI. Not only is it of high quality, but it also serves as a valuable illustration for the Wikipedia articles you have chosen as hosts for this image :) Fred Hsu 02:14, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

  •  Comment I don't understand this standard which many of you apply to images. It is as if you expect every image to be a scientific study where all background elements have been erased away. Of course the grass is not important; how is that relevant? Every real picture has elements that are unimportant. So long as they aren't a distraction it shouldn't matter. Moreover, unlike the leaf, which could be any size, most human hands are fairly similar so indeed the hand and ring do offer scale. Perhaps not the scale that you would like to see in a study of a bug, but for me images like this are far more useful and illustrative to regular people than any of the studio shots done with elaborate macro set-ups that appeal to entymologists. Saffron Blaze 16:28, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

     Comment I am not overly pleased with this one either now. The red pops right off the screen yet I don't remember doing much in the way of manipulations. There would have been no reason for light/shadow work and the bright colours wouldn't need much work either.

     Comment My view was based on my own experience postprocessing, and I could be wrong.Fred Hsu 23:42, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment This image linked below is from a slightly wider perspective, as the RAW file looked slightly sharper. It was taken just seconds apart from the other. To make it identical to the other in appareance all I did was Auto Levels and Unsharp Mask as I suspected. To get the following result File:Flax-poppy-cotswolds.jpg I used Auto levels, adjusted the saturation a bit and took away a bit of the red then used PS's Noise Reduction for sharpening (sounds odd but it works). I think the result might be more natural looking and a bit sharper. Saffron Blaze 00:17, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment I don't have ps; I am a lazy Apple Apperture user, so I can't say I know exactly how ps noise reduction works. But most noise reduction tools (including Noise Ninja which I use sparingly) pre-set sharpening as the last stage. I always need to dial down preset sharpening values as they always over-sharpen.

  •  Comment I exchanged mails and images with author. Here is a version of Saffron Blaze' image I edited to my liking. I haven't applied any sharpening as I do not subscribe to the belief of sharpening before scaling. And at Wikimedia and on Wikipedia we always rescale images before showing them to users. In any case, I focused on light, shadows and balance of colors. Here it is, the edited version. Fred Hsu 03:59, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment As I said in our email exchange your version is very nice at screen resolution. I particularly like how the red poppies don't jump out of the picture as they did with my version. However, given the standard set here, it would not likely meet QI because of the overall softness at full-res.

  • Here is history, for your drawing, you have to wait a bit. --Archaeodontosaurus 09:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
    • History doesn't matter for actual topics. Hentai of this kind exists since the 90's and it plays a major role in many Japanese culture related topics. If only history would count, then we should not be able to support modern architecture, images of bands that were founded after 1980 or many other things. I can't consider this a valid argumentation at this point. --Niabot 17:18, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
      • The quality of your work is not in question is an art that you proficiently. It is not from me, or prudery, or a religious commitment. I am fighting, both in my daily life. The paradox was that while we defend the values ​​of the two freedoms. Wikimedia is an extraordinary project which we are all very attached. You know that this project is based on a U.S. base. You know there in this country powerful pressure groups can affect the project. That exists in your drawing COMMONS, no problem. There have many or as we magnify a label, is a problem. Our area of expression in WIKIMEDIA seems to me enough for us to move on. Wanting to claim more, can put everything at risk. If we are to continue we need to fight for the quality of our work but also that of our relations. --Archaeodontosaurus 09:17, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
        • We should not bow before possible pressure. The Wikimedia projects are meant to be free and not censored. If we censor ourself we will never reach this goals to begin with. If they care, then let them care. If they don't care, then nothing happens. If we censor ourself, they don't even need to care, since we already have given up to them. Is this the way to achieve liberty or freedom? Ask some Egyptian or Tunis people what they think. The worst kind of self censorship in history is the "Entartete Kunst" or "Bücherverbrennung". Now you might say that we don't delete it. But we treat it different, hide it, what is basically the same. Everyone should know that nothing good comes out of that. --Niabot 13:40, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
          • What you say is true. And once again we are pursuing the same ideal. But you want to go quickly and it is not wise. You have every right to this type of image COMMONS. But this right should not be ostentatious. We have so many important things to do, so do not take risk. --Archaeodontosaurus 17:23, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
            • That is the point i have to disagree with. I don't believe that we are taking any risk in this case. Compared to many other hentai illustrations it is mild. What should we use as a replacement? We can't use an image without "explicit content", since then it would not meet the criteria for hentai. --Niabot 07:15, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

    • Transforming an image to a differnet perspective works only if the motif is flat. If it has depth structures, every single element is still seen in the old perspective. I.e. on a house, if the photo is taken from ground, every window frame, ledge, the eaves etc. are still seen from their bottom side. If the image is transformed to a retangular shape, there's a mismatch of global and local perspective. This is obvious on examination and looks wrong to many viewers. Thus a residual trapezoid shape must be left (according to those reviewers' opinion). --Ikar.us 17:24, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

    •  Comment That 'processed' image is default-processed by Noise Ninja - I find it has better sharpening process. It will be even better if I pay a little bit more attention to denoise fine-tuning (or just turn it off), and the sharpening parameters. My point is that sharpening is a no-brainer step that anybody can apply to a good image, AFTER target resolution is achieved by scaling. Premature sharpening is useless and often bad for re-targeting which is 100% of Wikimedia uses right now. I don't understand the fascination of this community with extremely sharpened images often to the detriment of image quality. Many QI'ed images here have lost image details due to aggressive denoising and then have harsh looks because of aggressive after-denoise sharpening. I think it is sad. And this is not the first time I've seen this. In my past sporadic involvements here, I've observed the same. Fred Hsu (talk) 14:56, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

    • @Jebulon: Could you explain what you marked as an error? As i uploaded the image i noted an error inside this region as well, but Commons currently shows the first upload (cache problem). The halo is typical in such situations. It illustrates backlight. This effect could also be achived by shading the sides different, but this is not intended in such 2D drawings, thats why a halo is used instead.

    No problem here is history. As I say pornography is entitled to be treated with tact and moderation. If we magnify such an image, we may draw upon us the reproach of religious groups or fundamentalist prudes who attack with substantial resources, our project. This is the project that I defend. Please take a step back and think about that. --Archaeodontosaurus 09:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
    I agree that the points you make are to be considered. There are of course other points that go in the other direction: surrendering to fundamentalists that we anticipate before they even manifest themselves, contemporary Japanese culture being worthy of study, etc. Overall the balance between these points is difficult to make, so I rather focus on purely technical arguments. Rama 09:44, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
    I might want to argue that this image, or anything similar to it, does not represent contemporary Japanese culture, nor is it worth of study. There is much more to Japanese art and culture than drawings of anime or manga porn. Not only will these type of images bring waves of protests and bad publicity from religious and fundamentalist groups, it will degrade Wikimedia Commons as a reliable, free, and educational source of images and media. Commons' images should be worth of educational value, not something that pedophiles would "fap" to. —stay (sic)! 05:08, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
    Also I might want to add that this type of image may breach certain decency laws in several countries. In the United States for example, images that explicitly show genitalia uncensored, and meant for erotic purposes, is automatically considered "pornographic" of nature, and minors wouldn't be allowed to view such material. Because not all of Commons' users and anonymous visitors are legally adults, this image should have no right to be kept in Commons, let alone even promoted to quality image or featured picture status. Call me a conservative prude or whatever, but I feel that this is inappropriate to be considered educational material. —stay (sic)! 05:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
  • You really should start to inform yourself. A first step would be to read the paper linked below. Additionally i would recommend to read:
    Otaku engagements: Lawrence Eng: Subcultural appropriation of science and technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2006, ISBN 9780542865497
    Toni Johnson-Woods: Manga: an anthology of global and cultural perspectives, Continuum International Publishing Group, 2009, ISBN 9780826429384
    Frederik L. Schodt: Dreamland Japan: writings on modern manga, Stone Bridge Press, 2007, ISBN 9781880656235
    Maybe also some other titles. I guess then you can answer the question yourself if this is "inappropiate to be considered educational material". Have a good reading. --Niabot 08:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

    •  Comment The problem with that line of reasoning is that it implies no line at all. Certainly you would impose a moral standard by not allowing child porn. Saffron Blaze 15:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
      •  Comment You are confusing issues. You are talking illegal stuff that will never be an issue on commons as it will be deleted on sight. Don't mix moral standards with prudishness please. QI is about good quality images, not about the subject. If images are not deleted they can be QI if they fulfil technical requirements, period. W.S. 20:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
        •  Comment I am not confusing anything. Images like this would be illegal in some places; however, I wasn't drawing upon the legality of either type of image to make my point. Moreover, moral standards are not always enshrined in law. Regardless, there are many more examples I could use to make the same point using other forms of "art" with the same legal standing as this yet most people would object to it. By making this image QI you are not just saying something about its quality you are in many ways sanctioning it as legitimate and valuable. Saffron Blaze 23:53, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

  •  Oppose It is strongly recommended to make a caption in English. It is imperative not to give a specimen under a name synonymous. Here the name is Calliteara pudibunda. It needs to be fixed in legend and in the title.--Archaeodontosaurus 12:38, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  Neutral Technical quality is good, but why is the main object so small? 85% to 90% of the space is spent on the surrounding stones - doesn't quite fit my preference. -- H005 17:37, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
    • That's because I like the upper frieze, but I can crop if you prefer.--Jebulon 15:56, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
      • The frise could be awarded a separate image. Cropping would make the image too small - I'm putting it in the discussion area to see what others think. -- H005 21:20, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose crop is nice, but the CoA seems not really crisp and sharp IMO --Carschten 09:35, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

  •  Support Very good job, but be patient to see ...--Archaeodontosaurus 05:27, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Good stitching job indeed. But at full size it is not sharp and slightly noisy too. I would suggest down-sampling this image. --Jovianeye 12:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
    •  Question Where do you see unsharpness? Maybe you can make an annotation. In my opinion it is rather sharp. Don't forget that it is a night shot. I'm not actually excited about the idea of downsampling, because you'd lose much of the detail. -- H005 12:46, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
      •  Comment Yes, I'm fully aware that this is a night shot. I have added an image annotation, but I find the image as a whole slightly unsharp for QI. Because of the lack of metadata I dont know what ISO and other settings were used. Since the Nikon D5000 uses the same sensor as the D90, I know that lower noise levels are possible. --Jovianeye 12:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
        • I've checked it, all shots were made at ISO 200. -- H005 21:31, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support How could downsampling possibly improve the quality? If you need to use it at a smaller size, just use output downsampling. -- King of Hearts 06:52, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

    •  Question -- Could you please elaborate how this very poor composition could be improved? -- Alvesgaspar 16:40, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
      • Of course I can. The composition is too tight and busy. There are many disturbing elements (guy in background, all the umbrellas), I don't like the crop (much space at top, but at right it seems the hood is cutted off). At last (more an FP and not QI issue), the perspective is bad to me, because the draw equipment as well as the reference of the portrait is missing or not really good visible. --Carschten 20:40, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support It is as it is: He's standing in a crowded street on a rainy day, a fact that is worth being documented. I like it, and technical quality is good. -- H005 07:12, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
