File:Dome of the Clocks, Umayyad Mosque.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination: Dome of the Clocks, Umayyad Mosque, Damascus --Bgag 00:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC) The first of the three spheres (or globes) (right) has a hard perspective problem: it's not spheric !. Same (less)issue with the second (central, which is a little oval too)Only the third (left) is 'round' enough, IMO. Not enough to decline, but maybe others opinions could be interesting.--Jebulon 16:02, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Unfortunate composition. It takes some time until you understand what you actually see. --AngMoKio 10:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes, it does. But that's how it is in real life as well ... this is why I annotated the image. --Ianare 18:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I discern following problems: CA, WB, noise and focus. Lycaon 08:29, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Realize that all of this image is under a very blue water and a very bright sun. That the bottom is visible is testament to the clarity of the water, but some distortion is to be expected. Look at the fish to see WB, CA is from water, focus is on the source (annotated) and pretty good imo considering it's about 2 meters deep. --Ianare 19:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Nomination Juniper Springs 1 --Ianare 02:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Oppose Unfortunate composition. It takes some time until you understand what you actually see. --AngMoKio 10:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes, it does. But that's how it is in real life as well ... this is why I annotated the image. This one I didn't even realize there was a spring until I looked at it on the computer ! At the time, I just though the turtle's shadow was cool. --Ianare 18:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support No problem with the compo to me. It's a nice and rare picture (particularly sharp, through the water) of an interesting natural phenomenon, well depicted. The turtle and its shadow are lovely. --Jebulon (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  SupportDifficult subject but the result is good. --Archaeodontosaurus 17:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC
  •  Oppose WB and CA. Lycaon 08:27, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
    • I'm not convinced that it's CA. The blue fringe is below the shadows in every quadrant of the image, so it doesn't radiate out from the centre like typical tranverse CA. It also seems to mainly appear on the floor of the pool; I can see a few shallow dark objects with little or no fringing, despite nearby shadows being strongly fringed (e.g. the dark stump projecting up into the sand patch upper right, and the branches above white sand on the lower left edge). So I suspect the fringing is real, i.e. due to the optical properties of the pool, not the lens. --Avenue 09:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Per Avenue, realize that all of the image is under a very blue water and a very bright sun. That the bottom is visible is testament to the clarity of the water, but some distortion is to be expected. This one is deeper than the other, about 2.5 - 3 meters deep. --Ianare 19:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

File:Trepanated skull, Bronze Age.JPG[edit]

  • Nomination A trepanated skull from Bronze Age, exhibited in the Jordan Archaeological Museum. --High Contrast 22:36, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support I'm very skeptical about this skull, not on your photo that is good. She can see there a lot of restoration in plaster but it has been crudely painted with the brush hairs stuck. I think that the basic skull is true. Or it's a copy and must be reported or it is poorly restored ... and we can not do anything. --Archaeodontosaurus 06:53, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

    agree quite tight but nothing is cut off thus documenting the car and panning adequate. --AngMoKio 14:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Nomination I have uploaded a retouched version with the structures removed. Is this a better one? --Herzi Pinki 20:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Support This version is better and IMO it's really enough to be QI. Jebulon could you put notes on the picture to help us to see where you see the process and where is the other structures. Please Herzi Pinki, don't post the same picture two time in the same page (I talk about the picture "St.PankrazenInStambach-retouched.jpg" you post in the discuss place and in the nomination place)--Croucrou 11:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment There is some remaining structure, a pole and a white spot that could be a pile of sand or similar, but I do not feel this is disturbing so I did not retouch it away. Thanks for support, I'm just beginning to get feedback on my images and some comments sound a bit harsh.

  •  Comment Hello Herzi Pinki. Much better now without the "structures", IMO ! Well, Lycaon is right, At high resolution, I can see two or three little dust spots too. I'll try to put them in a yellow square. If removed, I'll promote.--Jebulon 16:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

  •  Support Sorry, I hope it's not my monitor, but I do not see real problems...--Jebulon 16:48, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
??? Have you taken a close look on the eye of the bird ? --Berthold Werner 18:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The picture seems to be upscaled by software like from a camera with digital zoom. (Though I thought DSLRs do not have a digital zoom??) One has to downsize by 50% in order to make the pixel effect vanish. If you then crop much of the empty background around the main subject, the picture resolution easily falls below QI minimum of 2MP. That's why I oppose. Otherwise the downscaled picture isn't bad. --Johannes Robalotoff 20:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support The bird seems to me perfectly normal for this species. There are a few missing but we are not in FPC but IQ. This photo has a real value is a shame to denigrate that. --Archaeodontosaurus 07:06, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
It may be nominated as VI --Berthold Werner 08:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
  •  Info The image was not upscaled intentionally. The original picture was cropped with the crop tool in Photoshop, the option "Front Image" being activated, in order to preserve the 3/2 length/width ratio. This makes that the initial file dimensions (number of pixels) are preserved: the cropped image is therefore upscaled. (When cropped with the option "Front Image cleared", the image is not upscaled) by PS.
  •  Question Does anybody know ho to crop with the option "front" image" on, but without upscaling the image? --Cayambe (talk) 07:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
No PS experts here? Strange! --Berthold Werner 08:30, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

    • I would suggest that correct focus was a bare minimum for a "quality image"? --Herbythyme 14:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
      • I agree, focus is a bare minimum. But you have to consider how much focus is possible and if maybe the blur gives an idea of movement. This shoot was taken with focal length 500 mm, 1/320 sec, so I guess, blur comes from birds movement. IMHO in this case blur is acceptable, because very hard to avoid. Maybe it still can be reduced a bit more, even it is already a sharpened version of the photo --J. Lunau 17:06, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per Herby. This is a very common, and easy to approach, and to take picture of bird. We have much better shots on Commons File:Phalacrocorax brasilianus back.jpg. I see no reason to promote an image only because of 500 mm, 1/320 sec settings were used.--Mbz1 17:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Shows the turtle nicely in its natural setting, with impressive resolution and detail. There are a few stitching problems visible in the water, however, the most prominent being at the water's edge left of the turtle and at the left end of the wave halfway up the right side. I think wavy water can be hard to stitch convincingly. --Avenue 10:11, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
May I please ask you to add the notes for the errors? Maybe they could be fixed. Thanks.--Mbz1 12:59, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I fixed some errors.--Mbz1 13:27, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
The wave on the right side is much better, thanks. The one left of the turtle is improved, but I'm not sure if it's quite right, as it now seems to show echoes running left to right. There is now also a smudged seam running up through the rocks (see my new notes), and I preferred having more space below the turtle in the original version. Sorry. --Avenue 03:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Main issue for me is that the eyes are not sharp. I think (but it is only a thought since I'm not in a position to lecture you) an ideal shot would have been at around f/4 instead, with an additional flash and a shorter aperture time. 1/30 at 100mm, that's not reasonable Rama, even if you like this lens :-) --Eusebius 22:01, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I wonder how one could say it is easy to reshot, if one does not even know where the image was taken. The image was taken in a plane, and the crystals were on a plane's window, so they are very special, and the quality of the image is as good as it gets.--Mbz1 22:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, Jebulon. I have to admit that once I did get scared of a turtle. I was sitting at a rock wearing my flippers. I had my mask and snorkel in one hand, in the other I had my camera and one flipper. Suddenly a turtle swam right to me. I should have gave her a way, but with slippery rocks all around, the surf, busy hands and one flipper on I could not move. I was afraid that the turtle could pinch me, I really was, I saw them doing this to each other. So I gently pushed her away. I am still sorry I did it. I even apologized to her, but I should not have touched the turtle even after she touched me first.--Mbz1 04:47, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Neutral If I'd look at only the quality of the image (DOF, sharpness, exposition, framing, etc) I'd have to say it is very good. On the other hand, I can't say I get a good look at the subject (the tomb). I get your explanation but I would like to be able to read the top engraving. Maybe you could go back and take it from somewhere else? Perhaps, from the left side where there is less trees. I can't decide what to vote on this one...--Letartean 15:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the enlightment but still I can't say this pic does the job for me. The more I look at it, the less I feel it's right.

  •  Oppose poor composition. L'inscription sur la base n'est pas très lisible (je ne crois pas que le directeur sera gêné si tu la nettoies un peu), aussi j'aimerais une vue d'un autre angle - on dirait que la branche n'est pas très proche de la colonne, et si c'est le cas, les inscriptions seraient plus visibles. S'il n'y a vraiment pas moyen d'avoir une meilleure vue, la composition pourrait alors accentuer le décor naturel, par exemple en montrant une partie plus importante de l'arbre. --Ianare 05:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment Pour l'inscription sur la base, je l'ai déjà un peu nettoyée de ses feuilles, mais je ne veux pas la dégager plus, la plaque est un peu enterrée, je trouve que c'est son charme et je ne veux pas trop "préparer". Un autre photographe a pris la plaque l'année dernière, have a look here. Pour le reste, c'est plus compliqué : il n'y a aucun recul, il faut être sur place pour se rendre compte...

When one looks to the picture the first part the eye is attracted to is the strongly lit and saturated vegetation and the dark linear shadows of the fence on the bottom part. Yet this is not the subject of the image. The subject is only discovered after a lenghty search... A different vantage point, framing or light conditions might have provided a much better opportunity for a composition which is centered on the subject. --Elekhh 00:28, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Ah OK, I understand what you mean now, thanks for explanations. I think you are right, at the end. Other french comments say the same thing, approximately. I'll try to take another one of this place, It's easy to have a bad weather, but hard to have another point of view. What you see in foreground is a large vegetal fence, I need a stool or a stepladder ! Thanks for review.--Jebulon 10:37, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it was an interesting behavior that I saw the very first time. The turtles probably are doing the same, when they dig the sand for their eggs.--Mbz1 18:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Question -- Which picture is being evalueated? -- Alvesgaspar 23:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose interesting, but composition could be better : the flipper is blocking the view of the head. --ianaré (talk) 04:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I have the same images with the head seen, but only this position could show the digging, and how far the flipper goes for such an activity, and it was an idea. --Mbz1 12:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I would be interested in taking a look, if you get the chance ... --Ianare 12:33, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I could upload one of those images, there's not a problem, but a turtle just looks like it is laying there with the sand on her back, no action. Well, maybe it is better one time to see than 10 to hear. Okay I will upload an image, but only to see not as another QI candidate.--Mbz1 13:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Okay here it is File:Green turtle at Black sand beach in Kona.jpg (and I have few more like this). The right flipper is not sharp, so maybe there is some sense of movement, but nothing as the action (well, turtle's action :)) as in the nominated image.--Mbz1 13:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
The first one (cropped, but I insist: the crop is a bit too hard, now...) is very much better, interesting and useful IMO. --Jebulon 14:18, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Support "Cheating"? This is not a competition, and I don't expect 22 images for QIC. If the effort to put these images into sequence is made, even if it's a method to make images look more good, then I think it's QI.

  • The walls were not parallel in real life; the shadows can be lightened (still having the NEF) but the perspective not really changed: The image was taken at a small jut at the top of the church were tripods, ladders [which of course would not be allowed] aut idem could not easily be used (cf. this and that). Jumping high seems not useful to me (and of course dangerous at the top of a church), climbing the balustrade neither. Kind regards, DerHexer 13:28, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Info Scaled the image down by 50%, the original can be still found in the image history. --Quartl 18:46, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
    • Scaling down to 'improve' an image is not done. It only removes (printable) information. How can you add details by throwing away 75% of your image? Lycaon 18:50, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
      • Ouf course, downscaling does not add details, but in this case the lost information is only noise and the noisy original is still there. --Quartl 19:28, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
      • Exactly. Downscaling just prevents anyone from using the picture at inappropriate resolution, where he/she would only get more artifacts, not more detail. It is still a good 2 MP picture, although it was not a good 8 MP picture because of noise reduction artifacts.  Support I will support now, although there is some overexposure from hard light so that I can hardly believe that the flash did not fire (as Exif states). As for the colours: How can we know that the subject was more colourful? As there was aggressive luminance noise reduction visible at full resolution one could guess that there was also strong color noise reduction that indeed washes out colors. But if I look at other commons pictures of the dragon, I see that it varies in color and some individuals seem to be rather pale in reality. So I personally see no reason to oppose. --Johannes Robalotoff 19:55, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
        • I didn't use flash, that's the Queensland sun. Also, all the processing was (unfortunately) done by the camera.

  •  Support -- QI. Better if not empty...--Jebulon 21:18, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose -- Sorry but I can't even see the point of nominating this image. Quality is mediocre, at the best, and the photo looks like a casual snapshot with little (if any) educational value. Damping images in QIC without no apparent criterium only helps to spam the place and deviate the attention from the good ones. -- Alvesgaspar 12:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment I see that you are fan of my photos. IMO the comment is quite harsh, as the photo fits the criteria. No value - could be used in any wikiarticles about beer (belgian beer, Martens gold...) I quess that the good ones are made by you? --kallerna 14:22, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
    • As always, I addressed the photo, not the photographer. For an easy and controlled shot like this, I see no reason for making it outside (with a distracting background), using a flash and a high ISO setting. The result is very far from what a QI of the subject should be. In my opinion, a careful choice is to be made before nominating pictures here, as QI are (or should be) examples of good quality for the various subjects.-- Alvesgaspar 14:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Oversaturated (170,000 px = 7.2%). Lycaon 06:59, 22 June 2010 (UTC))
Sometimes objects are that colorful in real life. Should we avoid taking pictures of brightly colored objects if we wish to meet your standards for quality images? Daniel Case 16:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
What is the source of the 170,000 px number? I looked at the image histogram and saw no channels with 255 but did find 169,000 with a value of 2 in the blue channel. Those pixels are in the shadows, not in the berries. I am familiar with this species in its natural environment and I don't think that the color of the berries is typical of the species, e.g., File:Mahonia_aquifolium_2771.JPG. Also, the whitish bloom on the berries that is characteristic of the species is not well-depicted.[2] Wsiegmund 15:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
  •  Info This are the original colours. No changes and manipulations in colours have been made, see also my other picures of this plant --Llez 11:18, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
One doesn't have to manipulate/edit to get oversaturated results. Sometimes the camera just doesn't do its job perfectly. Lycaon 12:50, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination I am not satisfied with the edit, which introduces strange issues at the top of the column. However, I would find it a bit picky to oppose on the basis of CAs, and I have absolutely no problem with the WB. Weather was stormy, with sand in the air, and the chosen colours are IMO very close to the actual ones. --Eusebius 13:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
