Consensual review[edit]

File:Sun diagram.svg[edit]

  • Nomination Diagram of the Sun --Pbroks13 06:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Comment Support I'd promote as QI except for the stars which IMHO are a distraction of random white dots that dont offer anything to the diagram Gnangarra 11:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Okay, I removed the star background. Pbroks13 03:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks, I was looking for a second opinion but since you have removed them I've changed to support. Gnangarra 13:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose not a good illustration of what is explained about sun structure. I don't find out each of the elements in the right shape --B.navez 15:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
  • What exactly do you mean? It specifically shows each part. What is confusing about it? And what is not in the right "shape"? Pbroks13 (talk) 16:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
According to the today's english article en:Sun,
  • Chromosphere (5) is transparent to visible light. On the diagram it looks opaque.
  • Convection cells (3) are hexagonal. I see circles.
  • Granules (8) are said to be spaces between hexagonal cells. Nothing shows that on the diagram.
  • Sunspots on telescopic images are black stains of various shapes and sizes. I just see small circle spots on the diagram.
In addition I find grey color for the corona is not appropriate and I don't like the cutting (not easy to watch the layers). Sorry but other diagrams are much more understandable. --B.navez (talk) 09:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I believe I fixed all of the problems:
  • How would one show the chromosome if it is supposed to be transparent? All diagrams of the sun that I have seen show an opaque chromosphere.
  • The convection cells are not very important to the image; therefore, I removed them.
  • The granules look near identical to every image of solar granules out there.
  • The sunspots are now no longer ellipses.
  • New and (IMO) better looking corona.
How does that look for you? Pbroks13 (talk) 19:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry I am not convinced. It does not look like the sun. I find the other diagrams File:SunLayers.png File:Sun parts big.jpg more reliable. More opinions ? --B.navez 14:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I gave it more of a sun look? Also, how are they more reliable? I got most of my information from NASA. Pbroks13 (talk) 19:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support I like it, but not the stars put in in the image at random (B.navez discussed it already) --High Contrast 13:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
There are no stars in the background anymore. Did you purge your cache? Pbroks13 (talk) 19:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Not convinced neither. Also too elaborate and inappropriate gradient of the corona. Lycaon 17:14, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
    I am trying to make it look elaborate, as B.navez had some concern on it not looking enough like the Sun. How would you make the corona? I had a different one on it (look at the file history), but I am not really sure on how to make it look good enough. Pbroks13 (talk) 19:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
May if that's orange too. --Beyond silence 20:56, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
If what's orange? Pbroks13 19:10, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
White corona (thant's name of shine?) --Beyond silence 20:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay, the corona is orange; however it is not as elegant. Will that work? Pbroks13 (talk) 00:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose It seems easily work.. This may be enough what illustrate a sun, but short of image quality. _Fukutaro (talk) 16:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose, but I would  Support the original. I think the DOF in the original serves well to bring the voltaic pile to the for-front and without the background it really looks... I don't know. There is no context or scale, and I think that detracts. J.smith 18:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Interesting but would have been better in natural environment. Reflecting areas are overexposed. --B.navez 07:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Reflecting areas are....reflecting areas. Of course they are overexposed, cause they are reflecting the sun. Not a reason for declinig in my eyes, but for illustrating the slimy skin of the toad. I want to discuss this first. Btw. I agree with you that the pic would be much better, if it shows the toad in its natural enviroment. So this isn't a support vote. --LC-de 17:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support sharp --Beyond silence 16:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Promotion
  •  Oppose too hazy --Mbdortmund 18:15, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
    •  Comment Haze was the point of the picture, but if it is not obvious, then I guess opposition is justified! --Eusebius 18:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support Very good illustration of the town in hazy morning (and unfortunately typical for Grenoble !). Nuances of the background mountains well managed. --B.navez 06:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment I would support this image if the description mentioned that the haze illustrated is typical (if that is indeed the case). Otherwise it doesn't seem obvious to me that the haze was the point of the picture.--PieCam 17:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
    •  Info B.navez mentionned that the haze was typical because there is much pollution in Grenoble, in the form of a cloud over the city. Here, however, I think it is only the standard water mist of a cold morning. Maybe the pollution contributes to the haze, but I'm not sure about it. --Eusebius 17:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

    •  Comment There is no legal trouble for publishing this picture :
      • this is a place with public admittance,
      • no piece of art is clearly visible, thus no infringement of author's right
      • nobody is recognizable, thus no infringement of private intimacy

If Albertus teolog has infriged the rules of the museum, he could be prosecuted for that but that is his own problem. Museum hasn't any rights on this picture or against its publication. If you eat in a museum, you may be prosecuted too and condemned, but you are not obliged to vomit except if you have swallowed something belonging to the museum. The general image of the museum, even inside, doesn't belong exclusively to it. --B.navez (talk) 08:19, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

    •  Comment I could admit any good reason in order to improve my skills but in this very case I think you make a confusion between focusing and resolution. For any fractal stuff, such as vegetation or rocky area, you always have details that are beyond the finest resolution. Watch your own pictures : do you see the nerves of the leaves even if foliage is in the focused field ? Images should not be judged at full resolution but at a fixed size. In addition, in this volcanic location, sun heats the naked and dark rocks which in return give back warmth radiation, creating at ground level a layer of troubled air. Even with hawk eyes, details look really a bit blurry. I didn't want to cheat. I could have done so, downsampling the picture to 2Mp and tool-sharpening like this : . I preferred to give it plain. --B.navez 07:25, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

File:2008-11-10 Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse in Chapel Hill.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse --Specious 07:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Top corner of building is cropped off, which is a shame. Mattbuck 13:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
    •  Comment I chose to zoom in slightly -- it looked better to me. There's nothing in that corner that looks different, and it looks more cozy to me this way. I took several shots, but alas none with the full corner intact. --Specious 23:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
  • OK, let's take it to discussion. I do like the flare off the sign, pity about the van. Mattbuck 23:45, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
    • The truck is there on purpose. It's Lowes' own truck they advertise for rental to get your purchased good home. My intention was to illustrate a Lowe's front entrance as well as possible with a single picture, for the Wikipedia article. --Specious 02:00, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment the composition is good but could be strengthened by reducing the amount of building and the couple of incidental cars on the left edge. I like the flare on the sign and the vehicle as to the vehicle which adds to composition, presumption is the vehicleis a unique feature to Lowes. I can "live" with the corner of the roof/building being cut off but because of the depth it becomes an additional negative element. Gnangarra 01:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The cut off roof disturbs me less than the tree foliage in the upper-left corner and the flare of the truck. I like the composition, but I think it could be sharper. --Eusebius 09:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

File:Kankakee_aerial.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Aerial shot of Kankakee, Illinois. Anyone how has taken a picture from a plane should appreciate the effort that went into postprocessing... (removal of vignetting, haze reduction while keeping the colors natural) --Dschwen 00:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Support I don't think I saw any picture taken in a plane look as good as that before! --Mrmariokartguy 15:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose That's probably true, but unlike at FPC it is the technical side (i.e. the result) that counts, not the circumstances. Lycaon 08:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Then you should address the technical issues. Keem in mind though that the image has 12MP, so there is quite some headroom here. --Dschwen 14:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
      • OK. Though there are of course mitigating circumstances, they IMO do not count for a QI (that would count for FP). Again I would like to see a sharper image and a bit more contrast. I admit that you probably would have to use a hot air balloon or so to achieve that, but still, such are the results presented. Lycaon 22:30, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
        • Sorry, but this is bogus. The image has 12MP. You cannot go around yelling OMG downsized and complain about lack of sharpness in an image this large! Or should I be penalized for having a DSLR with a large sensor? I could easily deliver a tack sharp image at the size most of the contribution here, but I choose not to downsample (I find this kind of pixelpeeping rather discouraging though). The mitigating circumstances argument goes both ways, images are frequently turned down for being easily reproducible at a higher quality. This one is not easily reproducible, and I quite frankly think your quality expectations are too high. --Dschwen 23:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
          • Sorry too that you feel my expectations are to high (I can't deliver myself to those standards most of the time so I don't nominate but just post), but bogus is not the correct word for it, and if you are fair, nor is pixelpeeping. If you can at times produce pixel perfect not downsampled images (I've seen quite a few from your hand), then you can't blame me for faulting the ones that are sometimes not. Lycaon 00:00, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
            • That is the essence of my comment: You are working with different standards for different photographers. Seems not only unfair, but unproductive. The enduser won't care who took the picture. The QI seal is supposed to ensure them that the image exceeds a fixed minimum standard. --Dschwen 00:11, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support Overall a very good photo. There's still a little bluish atmospheric haze remaining, but I'm inclined to see that as a natural aspect of shots covering such an extremely long range. I might also suggest a mild unsharp mask to make the fine details a bit crisper. Still a great shot. Huwmanbeing 13:55, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
