•  Comment Sorry but the technical quality on this image is far below what is needed to be called one of the best images on Commons.--Peulle (talk) 07:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the technical quality is below what is expected from an FP.--Peulle (talk) 07:40, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Okay, it didn't seem so bad.PROPOLI87 (talk) 08:26, 8 June 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 08:26, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose The technical quality is not great, although I don't think it would preclude it from becoming FP if it was a really good photograph otherwise. But I don't like the composition - for instance the randomly cropped bit of path on the left, the fact that the bottom of the plinth is cut off, and the fact that the subject is so small in the frame.

•  Info Cmao20, posting an 'Oppose' after a file has been FPX-ed is redundant. The only thing that will do is to postpone the Bot-removal of the file. The Bot will move the file to archive 24 hours after the last edit on the nom page has been made. Hence, I will archive this manually. --Cart (talk) 08:36, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

• Cart - understood. I did know that but I thought it wouldn't matter to delay an FPX a few hours and that the picture deserved a more thorough critique than just dismissing it by saying that the technical quality is insufficient. It was really a response to PROPOLI87's comment above which seemed to be a request for a more detailed explanation of why this image is not an FP. I won't do it again though.

• No problem, and thank you. What I understand is that the camera I have cannot aspire to take exceptional photos using zoom. For this I have to get as close as possible to the subject of the photo without using the zoom. And in this case the pigeon seemed to me rather well photographed. I didn't want to cut it at the expense of the fountain, because it seemed beautiful to me. I'll try again. Good morning to you all.P.S. For once I managed to do the job well! :) PROPOLI87 (talk) 07:21, 10 June 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 07:21, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
