South-western black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis occidentalis) female
Thanks, I think it's nice to keep some sky if you can. Charles (talk) 22:36, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Another option you could consider is to blur the bokeh more. It currently has a very active blur, which is somewhat distracting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:50, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Would like to support the photo due to the rarity of the rhino, but the bokeh is quite distracting and the crop is not ideal: there should be more sky or no sky at all. —kallerna (talk) 07:43, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apple cake with vanilla ice cream
  • Sure, I understand and I was contemplating styling it, but for a piece of apple pie I think that the cozy homemade feeling of a simple checkered kitchen table cloth was best. --Cart (talk) 10:47, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did use my reflector on this photo, or the shadow would have been even deeper and the table would have nearly no light at all. :-) Some shadow in a photo is good, otherwise it will look very flat. As for the crop, people here usually object if a shadow is cut so I included it in this photo. --Cart (talk) 17:37, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, it's a good technique that works on normal subjects when you have the time to do it. You have no idea how fast you have to work when you focus stack ice cream! And neither had I. :-) It melts and shifts soooo fast. This was the third slice of cake before I got it right. --Cart (talk) 09:05, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:JJ Harrison, if you'd like to address Charles' objections, please go ahead. Charles, I have to respect your expertise in shooting birds. I agree that the photo could be improved if the highlights are reduced somewhat, though I hadn't thought about it because I was busy being impressed, but I don't know how anyone could lose a mostly black and partly white bird in a bright blue background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Works for me, so I don't really get it, but I imagine you feel like a darker blue sky would provide a better background, and therefore, this isn't as good as this type of photo could be. Darker blue would contrast less with the black, though? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dichroic prism with white light from bottom
  • This is not the reason of the light, it's the background, a black cardboard with a rough surface. Without the cardboard nothing would be seen. I don't have a studio or a fog machine. --XRay talk 10:15, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Grtek (talk) 10:46, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Charles asked, here is a longer explantation: To explain what is shown: The prism lies on a black cardboard with a rough surface to make the light visible. The light from a flashlight with white light is focused by a lens (telephoto lens) onto the prism from below (right), with a small part of the white light passing the prism. I added the explantion to the file description too.
  • No problem. Sorry for the missing description. We've made the photo with two persons, one for the camera, one for the lens and the flashlight. ("Flashlight" is a interesting translation for "Taschenlampe" in German, because it isn't a flash.) --XRay talk 16:51, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First order Fresnel lens at Point Reyes lighthouse
Since the photo is of the lens and not the light device, I've put it in the 'Optical devices' section and not 'Lamps', hope that's ok. -- Cart (talk) 18:53, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The small things you call artifacts, were shadows left over since I corrected the perspective for Frank. My bad, now fixed (refresh the page). The highlights add to the natural look and I'm not sure removing any more CA would be a good thing. I wouldn't call it "strong" and the color is so close to that of the glass so you risk getting those ugly gray areas. Better to leave it be, it doesn't disturb the overall impression. --Cart (talk) 14:58, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was referring to the large gray blotches, not the shadows; added notes. I could live with the overexposed areas on the flanks, but the central ones, in the lens, are disturbing. And I don't quite get the argument that removing CAs may make things worse. Sure, any post-processing may make things worse. That's why we hone our skills to improve things. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 15:23, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, two dust spots removed and some CA. I think I managed to avoid intruding on the glass color. What you read as shadow noise, I see as paint texture so I let that be. --Cart (talk) 16:33, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Could be cloned out I guess, but I think I'll save my effort on a full next shooting session when I return there again (wanted to this year, but will be hard now!). Or if other reviewers agree... - Benh (talk) 22:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm afraid I can't... and the last change I brought made things worse (since it stretched the buildings). Many things I did wrong with that photo, underexposed, shot jpeg only... so yes it's noisy and unsharp. What you get when in a hurry... I like it though I think it's OK when looked as a whole, but yes, probably not when looked at pixel level, and clearly inferior to the one by Basile (very nice one). - Benh (talk) 23:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Charlesjsharp: It's inferior to a very good pic in terms of quality, but it's acceptable I think. If you downscale to 15 or 10 mpix, it's sharp. And I like the composition. I don't have mitigating reasons. I screwed with my camera setup, and was in a hurry. - Benh (talk) 16:25, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're a good guy. So I will mildly  Oppose this nomination as not quite IMO an FP (though it looks like it will be one), but I love the larger panorama you linked above in a reply to Kestreltail and will support it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:33, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Albuca spiralis "Frizzle Sizzle" focus stack
  •  Comment I've uploaded a new version that adjusts the white balance and brightens the subject a little. It's rather late in the process to just switch it, and not a substantial enough change to propose an alternative, so I'll just link to it here (I've reverted to the original for now). Curious what others think. (btw thanks, S. DÉNIEL, for the alternative, but I wanted to work from the raw files and prefer the roomier crop :) ). — Rhododendrites talk13:44, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I prefer that, but it's a kind of fakery, isn't it? I still don't really understand where the line between acceptable edits and fakery is drawn at FPC. Substituting a separate sky is unacceptable, but making the background a different color than it was is fine and recommended? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:08, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eh. I think we all have our subjective lines. In this case, however, the background is a white posterboard, so any sort of off-white shading is a result of light/camera/postprocessing. I'm content to defer to others about which version to use, but will default to the original nomination since it was changed kind of late. — Rhododendrites talk22:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Looks good to me, but I'd like to know what you feel needs to be fixed about the verticals before I vote. Maybe I'll see what you see if you explain what to look for. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • IMO this is something of a harsh critique Wilfredor. You are right that the foreground at the bottom is out of the depth of field, but this is true for plenty of church FPs, see this one which you nominated yourself and which passed by an overwhelming 16/0/0 margin but for which the same criticism holds, if anything more so. As for the verticals, I can't really see any significant issue, but it's worth keeping in mind that the pillars in some of these churches aren't perfectly straight anyway. See this where the third pillar on the right visibly bows out slightly. Cmao20 (talk) 23:36, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I added a note about of the vertical problem --Wilfredor (talk) 15:35, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure I like a crop quite as radical as the one Benh has suggested as it cuts a bit too much of the floor off for me and leaves the composition looking slightly unbalanced, too much ceiling and not enough floor. Have left a note for a slightly less radical crop that I prefer, I'll put it up as an alternative if others prefer it. Cmao20 (talk) 22:36, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Water splash made by a girl jumping into the sea in Röe Sandvik, Lysekil, Sweden
  • I promise, there is a girl down there in the water. Seriously, I was mostly interested in capturing the splash and I figured it would be best to be upfront with what caused it. --Cart (talk) 15:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Cmao20, I think you are reading too much into this. Sometimes a splash is just a splash. :-) I had in mind to catch a big, sharp, hi-res splash, complete with drops and liquid sheet for the Commons:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena#Liquid section. Many of the images in that section are not really wow-y and more encyclopedic, take a look. Catching such a splash is a bit harder than it looks. You need a very sunny day and clear water for a sharp photo. Add to that some kids willing to do splashes. Most splashes were not "photogenic" and only a couple came out as good compos. This one had a 'top' at approximately one third and a liquid sheet going diagonally in a good way, so I selected it for nominating. And most important: You need to come up with the idea of actually doing a photo like this. How may of the FPC-ers here have done that? --Cart (talk) 19:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
So now FP is a competion Cmao20? And you do not want a good photo, you want a standard. Photograph is not about that. OBS: The photo that you pointed out is not centred, the lack of light at the top gives more weight to the bottom, same as cutting the top. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 20:44, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think FP should be a competition, but I do think that since there is lots of good work being done in this genre, it's appropriate to judge these photos by high standards. Your pic is good and I like it, it's a very spectacular interior, I just find it a bit unbalanced to have so much more room at the bottom than the top. I think it might be better with a bit more sharpening too, it's slightly soft as-is. Don't get me wrong, this is good work, it's just whenever I look at it I can't help wishing it was more central. Cmao20 (talk) 21:42, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Cmao20, I will not defend more this picture, but food for thoughts:
"bit more sharpening too"
This church is a "no tripod" one in Rio, a dangerous city, that I am not feel comfortable in walk with a camera (let alone with a tripod).
I have a 100D, and 18-55 lens (at the time, the widest lens that I had). The camera is lying on the floor, with people passing by.
Panorama to increase the sharpness and the angle of view was not possible, and afford a camera or lens to take sharper results would cost a lot, a lot, and with this investment Rio would not be a place to walk with a car price camera ( a 80D or D7100 cost a car here), notice that I did not produce photos of the exterior of this church...
So how could I delivery better result?
With this sharp criteria, rich areas of the globe will have their photos highlighted away more often than poor areas. And poor areas being register by foreigners will be the highlight.
Just some thoughts.
Obs:I could increase a little bit sharp in post, however I would like not, as this curves, and colours are not ideal for that. And I can cut and loose information, I do not want too.

Wheat field infested by scentless mayweed, Röe, Lysekil, Sweden
  • Thanks! I sometimes think we are so busy trying to find exotic locations and fantastic things, that we tend to miss what we have all around us and the beauty in not so contrived compositions. Or as someone wise put it: "All his life has he looked away to the future, the horizon. Never his mind on where he was." I'm still waiting for an FPC of a nice, good cup of tea. ;-) --Cart (talk) 20:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because that's the way it grew and I like it peeking out from behind the wheat like it's sneaking up on it. One barely visible flower makes for a more dynamic compo than an even distribution between wheat and flowers. --Cart (talk) 15:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, I can't see any flying birds in your gallery. It can help if you get birds near the ground - the caracara comes down a lot to feed, not like an eagle. I used a monopod for this one and tracked it as it flew towards me. I thought posterization comes from post-processing, so good light/camera settings are vital. So if I'm tracking a bird I wait till it passes a bit of blue sky. I adjusted colour balance and lightened the underwing shadows in RAW. I used Topaz Denoise AI then Topaz Sharpen AI.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info The current FP doesn't have proper white balance. The replacement fixes that. The newer one doesn't fix completely the chromatic aberration though, but better than nothing I guess... (Original nomination)
  •  Delist and replace by File:Wind Point Lighthouse.png -- pandakekok9 12:42, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I don't see the point of going in with more modern programs and "fix" old FP's this way. They have the look that was considered ok back then. --Cart (talk) 12:51, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Abstain This was taken in warm winter afternoon light, so the warm tint does look entirely reasonable to me. In any case, the whole picture (regardless of version) is kind of meh by today's standards and I probably wouldn't support either version today. I'd say either keep it as it is or delist it completely … --El Grafo (talk) 13:56, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - All I see at a quick look is a bit of a difference in tone that doesn't seem worth bothering with. Is there anything else I should be looking for? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep The new version seems pretty similar to the old version except with slightly darker shadows and a slightly bluer overall tone. Not a big enough change for me to consider it a clear improvement, I'm not sure the warm colour of the original is necessarily wrong. As for the original pic, it wouldn't pass today but I think it's pretty good overall, it's a nice lighthouse under sunny light and with good sharpness. I don't think there's any need to delist it. Cmao20 (talk) 18:55, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep -- no point in replacing by a PNG that is hardly better, if not even worse. --A.Savin 21:13, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep The old version is fine. As a side note, a PNG is not preferred as it loses more useful information than a max-quality JPEG; I would much rather have the EXIF data than nearly imperceptible pixel perfection. -- King of 01:38, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • To be honest there should probably be a subcategory for cloisters but I can't see one, other photos of this kind just go into the standard religious building interior subcategories. Cart will correct me if I'm wrong. I don't see any other photos like this from the site. Cmao20 (talk) 18:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure, since those sections are overflowing, it can be arranged. Creating subsections is fine, but new pages for the galleries is not just about fixing pages, they have to be integrated in the FPC code too and not everybody here has that knowledge. But you only have to ask me if you think something needs fixing. I also see that there are a lot of stained glass windows in those sections. They haven't been sorted in a while, I'll see what I can do about cloisters, windows etc. BTW, the similar photo you were probably looking for is File:The Cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral.jpg, a WML finalist in 2018. There is also File:Karmelitenkloster bamberg Kreuzgang 9244355.jpg. --Cart (talk) 20:00, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, I have noted the Gloucester Cathedral photo as a similar example, though I think this shot is a lot better. Thanks for the offer to create subcategories, Cart - it's a great idea as it would make some of the larger sections on that page much easier to navigate.

  •  Oppose the restored version seems have lost some details, see the trees on the right hand side. Looks like contrast is too high. The two tears at the bottom right of the image, the spot in front of the people in the road, spot near the 3rd column wall on the far left, all these problems have been ignored. The repair of the spot next to the lamp post on the left is half complete. Not quite an FP level restore yet.--BevinKacon (talk) 18:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very big amount of restore work, it also looks the spot healing tool is being used alone. In blank areas such as the sky this is fine, but with details such as the road, the result is bad. You need to use other tools which involve selecting the repair source. I would recommend withdrawing the nomination for now.--BevinKacon (talk) 10:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

orthographic rendering of Lidar data
  • You are welcome to rotate it but bear in mind that rotation will incur generation loss even for lossless file formats like PNG. Each point is rendered exactly to a 2x2 square and strange artifacts may occur if you try to rotate it (even with nearest neighbor rotation option), for example a small minority of points may end up turning into the skew tetromino. The best solution is to re-render this. However I might not have time to do that right now... dllu (t,c) 22:16, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I realize that Charles is right. Only if I had managed to photograph the dog with another background would the photo have come out better. I tried to seize the moment because the dog as he sees me getting closer to grasp the details immediately changes position, in particular he comes to meet me to play.

  •  Support per Cart. Quality is not perfect but probably the best of the shots you've nominated. I get Kallerna's argument that it's an ordinary pet, but I think it's a very good portrait under nice light and well-composed. Cmao20 (talk) 18:50, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I would like to clarify that pets tend to be uniformed, which seem common and therefore not worthy of particular interests. From direct experience I can safely assert, that this specimen of German shepherd has a wonderful muzzle profile which I think I have focused well, which not all German shepherds have. Each dog has its own different expression and character even if of the same breed. This is why I think that asserting "a common German shepherd" and making him pass as banal is a superficial judgment. Not that I believe I have produced the masterpiece photo, I know my limits that I am trying to overcome and improve the technique, but the subject deserves it, believe me. And it's not just because of the love that binds me to this dog, I loved uglier dogs in the same way.PROPOLI87 (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • I've seen you make this comment before Cmao20. I don't think high resolution is (or should be) a big factor in voting for FP. I'd rather have a sharp 3000 x 2000 image than this effort which you can see is blurred at 640 x 427 pixels. Charles (talk) 08:20, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • All I really mean is that it's unfair to judge pixel-level sharpness on a 40mpx image the same as you would for a 10mpx image, because it's like looking at the photo through a magnifying glass. I think that's what you mean too when you say you'd rather have a sharp smaller image than a larger unsharp one, so I don't think we actually disagree in general. As for this particular picture, the DoF is not perfect, but even at full size the lizard's head and a large amount of the body is pin-sharp, so I think it's good enough for FP.

Blunt-headed burrowing frog
  • @Kallerna: I think this is natural light conditions (in the forest perhaps), because according to metadata flash did not fire. And look at the frogs eye, does the reflection look like flash? --Ivar (talk) 09:17, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The catch light in the eye, the reflections on the back as well the direction of the light/shadows (light hitting the side of the animal, not the top) strongly suggest a (diffused) flash was used. The camera can only register (and store in EXIF) whether the flash has fired when there's a two-way communication between camera and flash. That's the case for the built-in pop-up flash and various kinds of TTL-flash. But just like in macro photography, in situations like this most experienced users would probably be using "dumb" manual flash for better control. That would probably not show up in EXIF [1] --El Grafo (talk) 10:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not natural light. This photographer uses an elaborate off-camera diffused light source. I don't know how many of the shots are set up (i.e. the animal is moved into position). This is very common (and OK) with reptiles as long as the animal is not captured and held for some time. Unfortunately, this does happen in many places. Charles (talk) 16:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment at f/14, ISO160 and 1/320th of a second, there's not much ambient light getting in (but it seems also it was taken at night already). That really is the only weakness of this photo and I do agree with Kallerna. And yes, it's very very likely lit by a very very strong (harmful) flash. I feel photographer could make his photo even better by lessening the flash and letting more ambient light in. I'm only conjecturing here. Wonder if wildlife photographers agree. - Benh (talk) 17:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There will be little chance for ambiant light. It is silly to ask for it. If you do find a frog in a forest during the day, it's still too dark. Has to be artificial light for a shot in the wild. Frogs are active at night, not during the day. And with a frog which is always 'wet', you get reflections. Flash photography is not considered dangerous to reptiles and amphibians. Charles (talk) 21:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Silly or not, the majority of existing FPs have far less refletions than this. It’s supposed to be hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Hard is what makes it great. —kallerna (talk) 04:37, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can do with same reflection, but the light quickly falls of around the subject and is quite flat and hard (shadow). But I realise it might be hard to setup (or I wouldn't have supported) - Benh (talk) 06:17, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I guess Fort Tryon Park is in Washington Heights, but The Cloisters sure is pretty far north to not be in Inwood. I guess there's no reason to try to resolve a minor Manhattanite dispute about where one neighborhood ends and another starts, relating to the edges of one neighborhood or another. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:18, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just a post-script, though, from w:Washington Heights: "modern usage defines the neighborhood as running north from Hamilton Heights at 155th Street to Inwood, topping out at just below Hillside Avenue or Dyckman Street, depending on the source." Identify me with the source that says that Dyckman Street is part of Inwood, period (not its southern boundary, which strikes me as absurd), and that having Hillside Avenue be the southern boundary of the neighborhood makes sense. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:27, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
+1 to the Cloisters being in Inwood ... "Washington Heights" to me means the area around Columbia. Inwood is where the E train ends, and where Manhattan has its highest natural ground. Daniel Case (talk) 18:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're confusing Morningside Heights (near Columbia, more or less following the course of Morningside Drive and west of Morningside Park, which extends from 110th St. to 123rd St.) with Washington Heights (from 155th to above 191st). And Inwood is where the A ends/starts. The E goes to Jamaica, Queens. Also, Bennett Park is in Washington Heights, which indeed has the highest natural ground in Manhattan. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Au-delà des critères habituels, vous noterez que la carte est Géoréférencer dans Wikimaps Warper (accès par le bouton qui se trouve dans la section Géoréférencement). Avec la transparence, il est possible de comparer la ville avant et après sa destruction. C’est aussi une aide au géo-référencement dans wikipédia des bâtiments de Brest qui ont été détruits. Ce travail est d’autant plus simple que la carte dispose d’une légende très détaillée. Autre particularité, la carte a été tiré en deux fois chez deux imprimeurs différents. Je présume que l’un a imprimé la carte et l’autre la légende. Pour le léger arrondi du cadre, j’ai cru avoir affaire a une déformation due a la prise de vue mais quand on aligne le titre avec un bord de l’écran on voit qu’il n’est pas déformé c’est donc que l’arrondi est d’origine.--S.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • I'll answer in English. I lived in Malaysia for 2 years of my childhood and became absolutely fluent in Terengganu dialect (thick accent) within 6 months and also read and wrote very well at a 6th-grade level. Malay and Indonesian are in my estimation almost as mutually intelligible as British and U.S. English, and I know some particularly Indonesian words as well. I regained most of my fluency in Malay after week 1 of my 4 1/2-week return trip in 2003. My other best non-English languages are Italian and French, which I have spoken at a very good conversational level (sufficient for long conversations) and read well when in practice (I'm rusty but can still read, write and speak them somewhat). After that is probably German, which I was speaking at a sort of advanced intermediate level, maybe, the last time I was in Germany in 2014 but don't do so well reading or writing because my vocabulary is limited and I'm not comfortable with many aspects of German grammar yet. I also speak sort of restaurant-level Spanish (but it keeps going over to Italian) and survival-level Mandarin and picked up a smattering of Hungarian in Budapest in 1994, most of what little I knew I have since forgotten. That mostly covers it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I would like to support; in fact, I considered nominating the photo. But I would like a reply to the question on whether the background was added separately, and so far, no answer has been forthcoming. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:43, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: , @Emjeha: is not active during the last month, but I don't think that a fake background is probable. It is quite clear that there's an black fabric on the background, in some areas it's very noticeable. The bottom part is quite uniformly black, but so are other areas in the photo.

Panoramic view of Tromsø from Mount Fløya, Norway.
  • Poco, I'm fairly sure the horizon is still broken, and to some quite an extent. What stitch soft do you use as a curiosity? Do you level your tripod head before shooting? Don't take it wrong, but you seem to struggle a lot to get these horizons right. There are a few FP which should need a review because that's the kind of error which should be a no go IMO. - Benh (talk) 08:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Benh: that there are issues with the horizon in my images is a fact, I see and accept that criticism, especially if the way I get it is the way you did . I took this image handheld, probably that was not a good idea. I used Photoshop Lr and just tried this image also with PTGui Pro but I didn't find the result very different, to be honest. I just gave it a new try and balanced the horizon and also improved the perspective in the middle right. --Poco a poco (talk) 11:22, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I (quickly) looked closely and the verticals look fine, so I'm not getting why I feel the left part is higher than the right. Maybe it's me, or this comes from inconsistencies in the sources. But handheld here should have been fine (no parallax error risks for me) - Benh (talk) 15:57, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The picture linked above seems correctly lit, whereas this one suffers from a harsh lighting source, creating reflections. A soft light would have produced better results.

Balkan fritillary (Boloria graeca balcanica) on epilobium
  • The Balkan fritillary is not one of your everyday butterflies. You’ve got to make a real effort to find it and photograph it. It lives at the top of a few mountains in the Alps and the Balkans, typically from 1,800m to 2,400. So we headed to a ski resort in Bulgaria, to Borovets in the Rila Mountains. The highest skilift is Yastrebets and the butterfly lives close to the gondola top station at 2,369m. It only flies around lunchtime on sunny days in July and August when there’s not too much wind. Tricky conditions to find at the top of an exposed mountain top. As shown here, it's quite small. Charlesjsharp (talk)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Very unsharp.

  •  Question really to unsharp for this resolution (4.032×3.024), so this doesn't match the guidelines??? Habitator terrae 🌍 00:43, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The trees on the right in your photo are very blurry. The first one you linked I would say is very marginal and represents our bare minimum on technical quality (and is definitely sharper than yours). The second one was promoted back in 2008 and clearly doesn't meet our modern standards; I will nominate it for delisting. The third one is not very big, but we do give night shots a tiny bit more leeway as they are harder to capture with the full detail of a day shot (though not to the extent of the second one). -- King of 00:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Strong oppose Nearly everything within the frame is blurry – in the typical way of phone cameras, whose tiny sensors have to strongly reduce noise at the expense of useful resolution (a highly resoluted blur is not useful), and even more so in low-light situations. Please have a look of FPs of the same resolution at 100 percent view to get an idea what kind of detail sharpness is expected here on an outstanding pic. Further, the crop is poor (especially the cut-off object on the lower right). Sorry if my wording sounds rude, no personal offense intended. Pity you didn’t have a better camera with you to capture this beautiful scene :) --Kreuzschnabel 07:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trinity Hall as seen from George Petersen Rose Garden
Re:cropped cypress – @Poco a poco, as photographers we always have to make decisions about what to show and how to present the subject of a photo to the viewer. In this example, I had to ask myself: "What do I want the subject of the image to be? Is it the setting as a whole (with the tree that grew enormously over the past couple of years) or do I want to highlight the relationship between the rose garden and the university building?". And, just for everybody to understand the context better, here's an image with the full view: Trinity Hall and cypress composition example.jpg. After going back and forth, I decided that I didn't want the single tree dominate the picture. I decided that my image shouldn't be about a cypress in front of a brick building in Northern California. Instead, I tried to show the interaction between Trinity Hall and the rose garden planted in the 1950s. So, to be clear: I accept your judgement – in the end it's a matter of taste whether we like an image or not. – Maybe it's worth mentioning that in cases like this I'd rather have us remember that most of us here are excellent photographers and – while we make mistakes every now and then – we most often have choices presented to us that drive how we're showing a subject. I'm bringing this up because I've seen too many comments here on Commons that give the impression that "the photographer made a mistake" rather than "we don't agree with the decision the photographer has made". After all, let's not forget that feedback could also look like this: "I see you've cut off the cypress. I think that's not adding to the picture, but I'd like to learn more about why you chose to do so. Could you please elaborate further?" Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 20:40, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Frank I indeed judged the result, which didn't convinced me at all, instead of wondering why to chose to do so. I'm probably in the meanwhile used to get harsh and rude comments about my pictures, that (without getting that far though) I may be getting too cold in the way I comment pictures here. I'm sorry for that, my intention was not to hurt your feelings. Poco a poco (talk) 06:49, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination Michielverbeek and Cmao20, thank you for your reviews. The actor is playing archery with imagined bow. I have updated the description. You may be right, and this is not a good photo. I struggle very much to select any picture for FPC. I don't feel it well. Sorry to say, but as I see it, most pictures that pass here are very good technically, but no "wow" for me either. Looks like I selected poorly again. -- Jakubhal 16:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment @Charlesjsharp: , @Ikan Kekek: , @Cmao20: Thanks for your comment. Yes, that was my initial impression but cropping the bottom would take away the inferior "frame" of the altar. Besides compositional considerations, I like the rows of pews which "lead" to the altar and give a sense of devotion to the very beloved Sacred Heart and gives also a sense of space and community even if they are empty (we have corona... ;-) --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 08:02, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cropping out the pews wouldn't work. I would like more width (portrait dimensions), but I don't know what there is in the church left and right. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:52, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Original FP Replacement

  1. The original file shows an available size of 3170 px large, not 4708 px. Thus, I assume this was upscaled by Wilfredor (remember this nomination of last month). Our Image Quality guidelines request real pixels. Pictures here should be uploaded at their real size, and not artificially inflated. Otherwise please give a link to where it comes from with this special resolution.
  2. This version is too contrasted, and does not match the original in sepia colors. See the blown highlights on the heads near Einstein, for example.
  3. There are artifacts everywhere, due to the strong post-process (Topaz or another software). Skins, noses, wrinkles, are now full of stains. Sorry but the quality is worse in this version than on the non-restored one.
Thus, I would replace this FP by the original yes (uploaded with or without frame), slightly bigger in size and with natural colors, but definitely not this file, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:10, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't apply any upscaling process, it was juts a download from the source and stain and tear restoration. Please, take a look to image source --Wilfredor (talk) 14:04, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The source displaying a picture with 7,15 Mpx and an upload that makes 15,19 Mpx on Commons? How weird! Best maybe is to upload the original here, then, so we can compare and see which work was made? "I don't apply any upscaling process", and what about generating "more details from non-existent pixels"? -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done @Basile Morin and Iifar: I did not apply any artificial intelligence upscaling, noise reduction, this was a mere tear and stain repair. Also, I uploaded another (removing sharpening filter automatically added by lightroom) and you will find the source here. Thanks for your recommendation. :) --Wilfredor (talk) 14:54, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And the source online? This is the same than this one upscaled to 4749 px large, when you zoom very big. No more details, sorry. 50% of the pixels here are not real -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:20, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah! You have indicated some minor sharpening artefacts, not noise. Levels of sharpening/denoise are a matter of choice. I prefer this level of sharpening to (for instance) the very soft look that JJ has chosen for the top half of the parrot in your recent nomination.

Defunct Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital - image of early 20th century patients installed by JR on a building exterior
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured_pictures/Places/Interiors#United_States
  •  Info Many early 20th century immigrants to the US came through Ellis Island. Those who were sick (or suspected to be sick) were confined to the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital. It closed in 1930, but still stands today, unused. A few years ago, the artist JR installed old pictures of former patients around the hospital grounds, in what I think is an interesting (and effective) way to experience site's history. This one in particular is on the exterior of an inaccessible building, with a caged porch. I found it quite striking, but also quite difficult to photograph (perhaps why, if you search for this installation, it's hard to find images of this one). It's possible to get closer, to see more through the doorway of the porch, but it seems like the image is meant to be viewed through the cage (it was not a particularly happy place). I'm happy with the final result, but we will see what others think. PS: if this sounds familiar, it's because I previously nominated another image from this place. created/uploaded/nominated by — Rhododendrites talk22:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
