Saint Petersburg, Russia: Sphinx at Universitetskaya Embankment (Quay with Sphinxes)
 Comment The noise is better done at RAW stadium, so pinging @Florstein: . (For me, however, the sky is OK.) --A.Savin 23:45, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's the most slightest noice I ever dealt with. And I see no reason to reduce it even more. Especially after "perjebulonists" invasion. :) --Alex Florstein (talk) 17:43, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment - Excuse me, Alex, it's not so slight to me. And now I found a spot to the right of the sphinx's hat. Do you know what it is? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:31, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jacek Halicki: Tilt corrected. ;) --Alex Florstein (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Should I delete the pigeon? --Alex Florstein (talk) 17:43, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would say no, I like the pigeon. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:32, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Thanks, I'll look forward to that. And User:Florstein, I've noticed that other photos that have been nominated here have been less noisy in the sky without blurring the rest of the picture. This is, after all, Featured Picture Candidates, where we're supposed to judge whether nominees are among the most outstanding pictures on the site. I think there's room for doubt with your picture the way it currently is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:51, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Much appreciated, but I regret to say that I'm not really noticing the difference. Did you definitely save the right file? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:53, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quod erat demonstrandum. Alas, Ikan Kekek simply likes to get on nerves. Doesn't matter, is there noise or not - he sees it. @A.Savin: большое спасибо за работу, Саш, но теперь сфинкс и правда кренится немного влево. :) --Alex Florstein (talk) 08:26, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You really shouldn't take this personally. Do you seriously think I have something against you? Why would I? Yet you took any opposition or even criticism personally right away, the better to dismiss it ad hominem. And you haven't succeeded in trying to goad me into opposing a feature for your picture, which I would certainly do if all I really cared about was the way you reacted to my request, and then my change from support to neutrality. Have a nice day. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Now, I don't know about the tilt, but the noise is definitely lesser. Try to purge your cache. --A.Savin 11:56, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say anything about a tilt. I also don't understand why it took a purge of my cache for me to be able to see a difference between the two files after opening both. All that said, I do see a difference now, thank you, and will now  Support a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:27, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Support --Jacek Halicki (talk) 18:09, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed results:
Result: 8 support, 3 oppose, 0 neutral → featured. /George Chernilevsky talk 19:59, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
