InfoIn Cesenatico, historic boat.fishing boat. In use in the nineteenth century it was used for deep sea fishing. Usually these boats fished together in small fleets and used smaller boats.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna.Massini (talk • contribs)
Oppose Phone pic of low quality. Cluttered background -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:53, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. What I can say is that the place is always crowded, and it was no small thing to be able to photograph a boat without there being pieces of others as even the boats in the canal are numerous. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 18:26, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are artifacts everywhere, particularly visible in the sky when one zooms in. Vertical and horizontal lines are even noticeable due to the execrable level of JPG compression -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose 1.6 MiB for this resolution is very low, also low level of detail. Not outstanding enough for me --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 21:01, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I think this is actually quite high quality for a cellphone pic, but we judge photos by the results, not according to what equipment was used to produce them if better equipment was fairly common at the time. This boat is a great motif, but the positions of the people in the background seem random and damage the composition, and the fact that a place is always crowded definitely makes taking a great photo harder but does not give the photographer a free pass. You have to find a way to shoot a photo when the positions of the people serve the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:46, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Street art in Melbourne

Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Other#Australia
Info created by TigTab (Flickr) - uploaded by HappyWaldo - nominated by SHB2000 --SHB2000 (talk) 01:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Street art forms a core part of Melbourne's culture – I'm surprised that we don't have any FPs of Melbourne's street art. For me, everything in this photo just works – composition, salience and colours (I'm not a huge fan of the top, but I find it necessary so the "end no stopping area" sign is visible, and I did wish it was taken by a Commons photographer instead). --SHB2000 (talk) 01:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Question What about Australian freedom of panorama? --RodRabelo7 (talk) 14:59, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Per w:Freedom of panorama#Australia, it only applies to permanent artworks – murals like these aren't permanent, so I don't think it applies. SHB2000 (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The mural is permanent, as per FoP rules. The painting can't be moved away from the wall, that's the point. Yann (talk) 18:35, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, ~~I withdraw my nomination~~. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:11, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. You are withdrawing based on there being freedom of panorama for these murals? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:50, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Wikipedia article says "This means the reproduction of 'street art' can potentially infringe copyright." --SHB2000 (talk) 21:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reread COM:FOP Australia, which makes clear that paintings do not have freedom of panorama under Australian law. Only 3D works and 2D works that are purely "works of craftsmanship" have freedom of panorama. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I've struck my withdraw. I'm not an expert on FoP, so I'll leave it to you. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:17, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You don't understand what "freedom of panorama" means. It's an exception from copyright enforcement that allows for photos of publicly-viewed art that's copyrighted to be published and used commercially (or in the case of non-commercial freedom of panorama, non-commercially, but Commons doesn't allow for such publication terms). The lack of freedom of panorama is the reason you should have withdrawn this nomination, because this photo will surely be deleted if nominated at COM:DR. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Pineapple sea cucumber (Thelenota ananas), Red Sea, Egypt. They are able to reach up to 70 centimetres (28 in) in length, with a weight of between 3 to 6 kilograms (6.6 to 13.2 lb). While generally considered sedentary, they have large tube feet hidden underneath their body which allow them to be highly mobile creatures and widely distributed. The environment of T. ananas is found in clean, sandy bottoms of lagoons with a depth of up to 30 metres (98 ft), or in slabs near large coral heads and coral rubble. They are typically found in tropical Indo-Pacific waters from the Red Sea and East Africa to Hawaii and Polynesia. The average water temperatures they thrive in are between 26–27 °C (79–81 °F). The individuals are large and found dispersed in low densities. They are slow growing, but also longer lived and have lower mortality rates. T. ananas plays an important role in coral reef ecosystems by recycling nutrients, bioturbating sediments, buffering sea water from ocean acidification to local scales, prey to a range of predators, and acting as a host for symbiotic biota. It feeds exclusively on calcareous alga Halimeda sp. Note: we have no FPs of the whole class Holothuroidea. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 08:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This might not be an FP now, but I think that doesn't reflect on its quality. It is a very good, painterly landscape, and this kind of picture could be shown on every wall of a gallery and please me. If it's not an FP now, that's because there are now more spectacular landscapes on this site, not because of any lack of quality on its part. But I would further say that a more interesting sky, though not necessary for a very good picture, could have upped the impressiveness and made a difference in how I voted. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- Higher resolution and larger file size than the only current featured photograph of a tornado (File:F5 tornado Elie Manitoba 2007.jpg). Previous vote was in 2011, only days after the photograph was taken.

Info created by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, uploaded and nominated by Yann
Info The Description de l'Égypte (English: "Description of Egypt") was a series of publications, appearing first in 1809 and continuing until the final volume appeared in 1829, which aimed to comprehensively catalog all known aspects of ancient and modern Egypt as well as its natural history. It is the collaborative work of about 160 civilian scholars and scientists, known popularly as the savants, who accompanied Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798 to 1801 as part of the French Revolutionary Wars, as well as about 2000 artists and technicians, including 400 engravers, who would later compile it into a full work. At the time of its publication, it was the largest known published work in the world (Wikipedia). Frontispiece to the second edition, by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke.

Comment This version seems dull compared with the reproduction on the Sotheby's website which has vibrant colours and doesn't have the blue/pink sky. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IMO this copy is oversaturated. I wouldn't rely on Sotheby's to get accurate colors. Yann (talk) 21:22, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert, but it looks plausible to me. It's really hard to know, because none of us were around to see this as a new work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither, but I can't see anyone producing a half blue and half pink sky. Perhaps Yann can explain why we should rely on this version. Charlesjsharp (talk) 00:39, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see the original, but I have seen the very good condition of preservation of this edition and the quality of the scans. I don't see why one sheet would be bad when the 932 other ones are excellent. Yann (talk) 09:13, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While we consider this nomination, some information from w:Cardisoma guanhumi: Cardisoma guanhumi, also known as the blue land crab, is a species of land crab found in tropical and subtopical estuaries and other maritime areas of land along the Atlantic coast of the Americas from Brazil and Colombia, through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, to the Bahamas, and north to Ponce Inlet, Florida[3] Princess Place Preserve on the Palm Coast, and Bermuda. The species varies in colour from dark blue to brown or pale grey, and may grow to 15 centimetres (6 in) in carapace width and weigh over 500 grams (18 oz). Not to be confused with the (non-land) Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, or blue land crabs in the Discoplax genus. So this is a fairly small photo and the crab is medium-sized, as the size of the carapace does not include the legs, etc. The distribution of this species seems pretty widespread. The Wikipedia article further states that "[r]elatively cold water in the winter, less than 20 °C (68 °F), affects larval survival and restricts the species' possibility of spreading further north," so it wouldn't be surprising if it is benefiting from global warming, but at the very least, such cold water has decreased. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by David Revoy - uploaded by Bensin - nominated by Bensin -- Bensin (talk) 19:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support This digital painting is both of high artistic merit (being a wonderful example of its particular type or school of art, i.e. digital paintings), as well as of high illustrative merit (illustrating the setting and some prominent characters of Alice in Wonderland). It is also, as I added to the Wikipedia article Works based on Alice in Wonderland, a fine example of how works entering into the public domain allows them to be freely remixed or adapted. This image is also one (of many) examples of how a public domain work provides furtile ground for new culture to grow in an artist's imagination, and how the resulting work helps promote the orignal work; old and new culture forming a positive feedback loop. For more information about the image, see the file entry with links to the artist's blog post about the image and links to an article about the making of the image. -- Bensin (talk) 19:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't know how to judge this. The existing FPs in this category (except for the one that shows an anime work in progress) all have more normative space in them, but of course it makes a hell of a lot of sense for an artwork intended to illustrate Alice in Wonderland to be surreal. I guess the most sensible way to judge this work is to be wowed by the composition or not (or for people who unlike me are familiar with the techniques involved, whether they're wowed by the technical achievement of the work). One question I have is: Why was the upper part, and especially the upper right corner, made unsharp? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:22, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the distorted space was intentional. See the blog post and the black and white picture of creating the distortion. In the cgsociety.org-article, Revoy says he wanted to create a "feeling of space and time distortion."[1] As for the unsharp parts: Good question. Since it is not a photograph, but rather a digital painting, it appears to have (as you correctly write) been made (or created) unsharp. All the foliage is a little softer than other aspects of the image. Maybe it's with drawing foliage as it is with drawing hair: Sometimes you don't want to draw individual hairs but rather chunks at a time. Maybe clever brush selection helps achieve foliage rather than many leafs? I can't speak to the artist's intention in this regard, but his brush selections does not appear to be accidental. On the contrary, availability of appropriate brushes seems to be something he cares about.[2][3] I must admit that the upper right corner was not what first captured my eye in this picture. :-) Thank you for commenting. It allowed me to discover some new aspects of this image. --Bensin (talk) 01:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The cat is sharp, thus I suppose it is voluntarily created in volume so as to evoke a DoF like in a photograph, or perhaps to draw attention to the elements in focus -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:54, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question What is fake/unnatural? It's OK to feature photos of the Milky Way with land shot much earlier in the day, so where do you all draw the line? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:16, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind HDR-merges for star shots, as long as the light from the sky matches the land below. You want to make it look as natural/plausible as possible. That is not the case in this photo. The very hard line for me would be to shoot the land after sunset and the sky when it's totally dark. But the best photos would be a merge of some photos taken within minutes of each other, like you do with "normal" HDR. You can take a few shots with lower ISO, focus on the land, even longer exposure time, maybe aided by some light painting with a torch, just before or after you shoot the stars. --Cart (talk) 15:58, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Quite beautiful. Was the house actually that bright from the auroras? The only experience I've had in viewing auroras was in Lenox, Massachusetts, and they were not as vivid as this, which could be why they supplied much less light. They might have supplied enough light for some long shadows, but I don't remember, as it was 41 years ago! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:38, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: Murmansk Oblast is ≈26° further north than Massachusetts, so it's probably a lot more prominent here.r SHB2000 (talk) 08:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This looks fine to me. Up here in the north, auroras can be seen despite moonlight and light pollution, as is evident by all the aurora photos I've taken in my town (Examples). You can even have a sunset and aurora at the same time! When the photo in this nomination was taken, there was a waxing crescent moon (if the time stamp is right), enough to get nice details on the building. Some of the best aurora shots are made with a bit of moonlight and snow. This photo from the north of Sweden was taken under about the same conditions. --Cart (talk) 11:23, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. The reason I haven't been sure is because I have the photos of the Milky Way with obviously earlier photos of the land on my mind. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:13, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guessed that was what was bugging you. :-) The difference between all these sky photos can be tricky if you haven't shot something like it yourself. The compo in this nom is nice even if the aurora itself is a bit "meh...". That's why I think it's best suited for a 'Places' gallery. For a 'Sky' gallery, I think Norwegian auroras are the best, like this. --Cart (talk) 15:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. This is an impressive aurora to me, but then the aurora I saw in Massachusetts was impressive, too, because I had never seen one in person before (or since). And to those who haven't seen one, part of the amazing thing is that it changed color and streamed across the sky, then pooled in one part of the sky, and kept doing that for a couple of nights. I have no way of knowing whether auroras always do that or not. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Sunrise is when the fishing boats offshore return to shore, ending a fishing session. This picture was taken in Hòn Rơm fishing village, Mũi Né Ward, Phan Thiết City, Bình Thuận Province, Viet Nam. Viet Nam is a country that has so much tourist attractions. But sadly, there're not too many featured pictures about the view here.

Info Feather star (Stephanometra indica), Red Sea, Egypt. This medium-sized feather star lives in crevices, under corals or inside sponges, the only visible part being some of the arms, but it comes out at night and perch themselves on eminences to feed. It has up to 40 arms, which are are fragile, and if one is broken off, at least two grow in its place; in this way the number of arms can increase. Note: there are no FPs of the whole class Crinoidea (that includes about 700 species in total). If you want to see something pretty cool, have a look here to sea how feather stars swimm. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:25, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Coral (Favia favus), Red Sea, Egypt. This species of stony corals is massive and forms thickly encrusting dome-shaped colonial corals. There is a great diversity of form even among the same species. The corallites, that have a diameter of 1 to 2 centimetres (0.39 to 0.79 in). project slightly above the surface of the coral and each has its own wall. The septa and costae linked to the corallite wall are well developed and covered by fine teeth. The polyps only extend and feed during the night. Each one has a small number of tapering tentacles which often have a darker coloured tip; these are called stinger tentacles, or sweeper tentacles. They use these to sweep the water to see if any other coral is in its area; if so, then they begin to sting the other coral. This is commonly known as coral war. Each coral is trying to make sure it has enough room around it so it can continue to grow and have more surface area for its offspring. Note: we have an FP of this species but substantially different. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:37, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'd support this for QI, but a photo showing only most of the face sharply, with most of the rest of the frame being more or less blurry, taken in a zoo of an animal that is not endangered doesn't seem like an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:41, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for the review, Ikan Kekek. From my point of view, the photographic quality should be in the foreground and not the question whether I did a headstand for the photo or spent 20k€ for a wildlife safari. The blurred background and the beautiful framing by the trees I have here deliberately chosen to make a beautiful portrait of the monkey. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I didn't want you to think that because no-one had yet voted or replied, it was because this was a bad nomination. This is a good photo for sure, and regardless of the outcome of this nomination, it should be nominated at COM:VIC in the right scope. But for the purposes of featured picture candidates, I compared it to comparable existing featured pictures in Category:Tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic. File:Dennis 2005-07-07 1550Z.jpg is more dramatic and shows the entire cyclone more clearly; File:Hurricane Isabel eye from ISS (edit 1).jpg is an amazing photo of a hurricane's eye; and File:Hurricane Isabel from ISS.jpg, which is most directly comparable to this photo, is better lit and gives the viewer more of a sense of the movement within the cyclone. What's also true is that the two photos other than the closeup of the eye are bigger than this one. I still think this is a good picture and worthy of nomination, but I'm not sure it stands up to the rest as a featured picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:45, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Ah, my favorite flower of the Catskills! A sign that spring is well underway when you see it and red trillium blooming in the woods off trail. Considered a rare species here in New York by the state (I think it even has "threatened" status) because it only flourishes in the northern-hardwoods forests at higher elevations. I suppose it's more common further north in Ontario.
My support is "weak" because although this captures the essence of the flower, the light is a bit too golden to fully do it justice. In fact, I think (mainly because of my experience with seeing them in the shade of beeches and birches) that it looks better in diffuse light, with cooler tones. Maybe you could see about getting one like that next spring? Daniel Case (talk) 17:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus), often simply known as the bullfrog in Canada and the United States, is a large true frog native to eastern North America. It typically inhabits large permanent water bodies such as swamps, ponds, and lakes. Bullfrogs can also be found in manmade habitats such as pools, koi ponds, canals, ditches and culverts. The bullfrog gets its name from the sound the male makes during the breeding season, which sounds similar to a bull bellowing. The bullfrog is large and is commonly eaten throughout its range, especially in the southern United States where they are plentiful.

Info Male Speckled sandperch (Parapercis hexophtalma), Red Sea, Egypt. It's a species of marine bony fish that grows to a length of around 28 cm (11 in) and is found in shallow waters on the east coast of Africa as far south as Natal, the Red Sea and the western Indo-Pacific. Like other members of the family Pinguipedidae are protogynous hermaphrodites, starting their adult life as females and changing sex to males later. Not only do the fish change sex, but they also change their markings at the same time. Male fish are territorial and defend a harem of females. Note: there is another one FP of this species, the only one in the whole order Trachiniformes but I believe that this one has a pretty different POV and higher detail. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 22:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Fairly decent sharpness on the goose's head and neck, but mostly a blur and nothing is that sharp. Somewhat distracting background, too, as is that active a blur in the foreground. Not outstanding to me, especially considering how common these birds are. Sorry, I hope this doesn't come across as harsh toward you; it's just my reaction to this particular photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:40, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: It's fine, everyone's perspective is different. My main idea of the picture is not the bird but to guide everyone to the middle through the bokeh. Even though, the bird is common but I haven't seen much photos with such surrounding environment of flowers. --Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 20:56, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Fabian Roudra Baroi: Sorry, but it doesn't work for me either. I get what you try and I think you might have my support, if the background was all flowers and grass, or at least if there were still flowers and grass well above the goose's head - but the way it is my view shifts too quickly from the goose to the clutter above. --Kritzolina (talk) 06:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question Doesn't this photo need to be rotated 90 degrees? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:24, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why? 😄 ArionEstar 😜 22:02, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because the surface of the Earth is vertical? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't understand your reasoning at all. Why should the one of the two waters (lake/lagoon to the left and sea to the right) on either side of the sandy beach be up or down? As it is now, the photo is sort of oriented with the north part of the sandy beach at the top, the way most maps are. It's a very distinct part of the park, so it wasn'r hard to find on a satellite image. Location now added. --Cart (talk) 22:57, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maps are useful representations of reality with graphics and symbols on a flat surface, but photos that should be turned to be vertical are obvious to see. I doubt everyone else will find my reaction at all odd, and I'm surprised you do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:17, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Depends on the viewpoint. Lolol! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 23:01, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disregarding the map angle, you write "90 degrees" is that cw or ccw?. Should the lake/lagoon or the sea be at the top of the photo. I think drone photos are mostly aligned in ways that are aesthetically pleasing (mostly from the author's point of view); in a way they free your mind from convectional thinking. Giving the two waters equal importance looks pleasing to me. The photo has an almost abstract color-blocking quality to it. --Cart (talk) 23:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I guess either way might work, though I thought of the sea being on the bottom. I'll live with it longer, but it struck me very strangely, like a movie that's 90 degrees flipped. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not trying to convince you to support it, just having an impromptu POV composition discussion. ;-) It's a nice photo, but personally, I think it lacks the 'wow' factor and the processing of it could really be better. It is after all a seven y/o drone photo. A lot has happened since then. --Cart (talk) 12:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately, the photo still looks 90 degrees off to me, because it's just really odd to see the waves breaking to the left instead of to the top (or maybe bottom? I'd have to see it). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:53, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Overprocessed. Excessive clarity and contrast. There are twenty versions in the history, and all of them are retouched / modified from the original. I don't know where the last version comes from, because the main source is incorrect and the other sources numerous, but I don't trust this processing that makes the render artificial. As an historic photograph, the originality should be respected. At the most, just a decent and very subtle restoration could be accepted, but not such a strong post-treatment -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for Basile's detailed analysis, based on which I change my vote to Neutral. I hope a colleague has time and patience to take care of the retouching. I would like to give a try, but currently I have less time than usual. In any case, in the future we should give a well retouched version of this historically so important photograph the chance to become a FP. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 09:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Incredible resolution! But without having looked at much of this document at full size yet, but before it decided to go black, I saw some chromatic aberration on the northern peninsula. It seems to me, any color on this map is automatically chromatic aberration. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:09, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chromatic aberration is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point (Wikipedia). This is a composite scan of a flat grayscale map. I don't see how there could be "chromatic aberration". Beside this document is 200 years old, so there may be defect due to paper aging, etc. The ZoomViewer is broken, but the elements can be seen in Category:Carte topographique de la Corse, 1824.

Info Greasy grouper (Epinephelus tauvina), Red Sea, Egypt. The species inhabits clear-water areas on coral reefs (at depths to 50 metres (160 ft)), although juveniles may venture into reef flats, tidepools, and mangrove estuaries. The greasy grouper occurs in the Red Sea and along the East African coast, east to the Pitcairn group, north to Japan, and south to Lord Howe Island. Epinephelus tauvina grows up to 75 cm (30 inches) in length and is a protogynous hermaphrodite. Greasy groupers are top predators on the reef; they mainly feed on small fish and sometimes crustaceans. The greasy grouper is caught in recreational fisheries (including spearfishing and hook-and-line fishing) and plays a major role in commercial fisheries. It is also found in the aquarium trade. Note:we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 13:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info The Mille_Miglia (one thousand miles) was an open-road, endurance motorsport race established in 1927, in the northern part of Italy.
Since 1977, the race was revived as the Mille Miglia Storica.
This composition contains my best 10 photos taken during the 2nd leg of the race at the place of departureː Cervia Air Force Base.

The cars were photographed in a mini cars-circuit built inside the military airport of Pisignano in Cervia.
The weather conditions were mainly heavy rain. This made it difficult to start operations.
As described above, the tension on the faces of the pilots and navigators committed to giving the best of themselves is clearly evident.
This is a factor that enriches the composition beyond the nice vintage machines depicted...

Cars shown in order from top-leftː
1) Car number 85, Aston Martin Le Mans (1934) driven by Francesco Polini and Matteo Chiari (I)
2) Car number 265, MG TF 1250 (1953) driven by Francesco Durante and Margherita Petrone (I)
3) Car number 96, Delahaye 135 CS (1936) driven by Henricus and Bastienne van den Anker (NL)

Comment I'd rather look at individual photos. A composite may have some educational use, but I don't prefer this way of showing the cars. To elaborate further, this would fail the requirements for a set, so why should it be nominated as a composite photo? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:10, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination
As a set of different images of the same event, and not different point of view of the same object, I didn't realize to overrule a possible feature candidation requisite. I withdraw.

Many of them have some sort of legend how a person managed to make a deal with the devil and get the better of him. In this case the devil ended up helping the person who constructed the bridge, but as a reward was only given the soul of a pig and not the soul of a human as he had hoped.

per COM:OVERWRITE you can't overwrite files that have been awarded a special status like Quality Image or WLM. To propose this modification, you should upload the derivative work under a new name -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:47, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

COM:FLEXIBLE – it was only promoted to QI within the last 24 hours. It would have been no different if I had uploaded this when W.carter overwrote the file. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:41, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree about the QI status granted yesterday, but the original picture is labeled "WLM winner" since 2020 -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:55, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CA removal and minor lens distortion correction are within the minor adjustments that are allowed in overwriting. It is a great photo, and I would be a shame if it failed here due to some such minor technical problems. --Cart (talk) 09:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. Commons:Overwriting existing files#Exceptions to the minor changes rule: "Exceptions to the "minor changes should be uploaded to the same file" rule

Files that have been awarded a special status [...]". This is a case where minor change is not permitted. Subjectively you think these modifications are an improvement but some voters may find these changes awkward -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:45, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also known as the lesser panda, is a small mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It has dense reddish-brown fur with a black belly and legs, white-lined ears, a mostly white muzzle and a ringed tail. Its head-to-body length is 51–63.5 cm (20.1–25.0 in) with a 28–48.5 cm (11.0–19.1 in) tail, and it weighs between 3.2 and 15 kg (7.1 and 33.1 lb). It is well adapted to climbing due to its flexible joints and curved semi-retractile claws. Created by Mathias Appel, uploaded by Mhao Koe, nominated by -- 20 upper 13:45, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tagooty: The tail is out of focus but not blurred. The face in File:Ailurus fulgens - Karlsruhe Zoo 01.jpg is sharp, but the rest of the upper body is out of focus. Furthermore, the animal is quite adorable, and this image concentrates on the face rather than the body, so I'm really not sure what you want me to alter. Give more information regarding "Not exceptional for a zoo photo". 20 upper 09:02, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Photos of animals in zoos are much much easier to take than the wild, and there's an unspoken rule of FP about difficulty – in other words, if a photo taken in a zoo is not perfect to be considered one of this site's finest images, it likely won't pass. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:21, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Close-up of a masked puffer (Arothron diadematus), Red Sea, Egypt. This pufferfish can only be found in the Red Sea from surface to 20 metres (66 ft) depth and sssociated with coral reefs. It has a maximum length of 30 centimetres (12 in) and is usually solitary but in schools during mating period. As with many other puffers, this pufferfish has a symbiotic relationship with types of bacteria that produces tetradotoxin which is a powerful neurotoxin. Tetradoxin is found in their skin and internal organs like liver and is approximately 100 times more toxic than cyanide, what makes pufferfishes among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. They are therefore highly toxic to most animals when eaten. Nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan, Korea, and China when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity. Furthermore one of the most known characteristics of pufferfishes is that they can inflate taking water or air an so multiply their size several times to avoid that they can be swallowed by predators. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 05:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a sort of 3/4 view of the fish's face. I'd rather see more of the fish. For example, I like this photo better: File:Pez globo (Arothron diadematus), mar Rojo, Egipto, 2023-04-17, DD 155.jpg. It looks great at 50%, which I daresay is larger than life size on my 23 1/2-inch monitor, and it's a more dramatic-looking face with more dramatic fins and in context. I would vote for that photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comment ikan kekek, hover fly are roughly 1 to 2 cm in width and the area of its compound eyes are nearly 1 to 2 mms so in this super macro image i can only guess that it may be some dust particles or pollen or a small water particles stuck from the rain or dew drops or the white color may be the reflection of my flash in the dew or rain drop in the compound eyes Prasan Shrestha (talk) 13:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Emperor angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator), Red Sea, Egypt. It is a reef-associated fish that can reach a length of up to 40 centimetres (16 in). The emperor angelfish is found at depths between 1 and 100 metres (3.3 and 328.1 ft) and is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, from the Red Sea to Hawaii and the Austral Islands. Its diet comprises sponges and other encrusting organisms, as well as tunicates. This popular aquarium species form pairs and both, juveniles and adults, may act as cleaner fish, cleaning ectoparasites off larger fishes.

Support Yes, it is amazing. --LexKurochkin (talk) 12:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Powerful indeed, but I don't think the desaturated look (-62 Vibrance in the EXIF metadata) works well for portraits, as it results in greyish skin tones that mischaracterise the Koryaks (or any healthy human being, for that matter). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 13:16, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of the photo editing techniques that have popped up in recent years. It is meant to make the photo look old and sun-bleached, like it was taken with analogue film sometime in the previous century. This style is mainly embraced by younger photographers who weren't around before digital cameras. Analogue film photography, is seen as "cool" these days, and there are many "schools" as to which old-photo-look to use. The latest fad is to make photos look like the Oppenheimer film which emulates old films. I guess that the photographer who made this photo, thought the subject was suited for this kind of "faded beauty editing". --Cart (talk) 15:55, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair point, and I can see how this subject lends itself to a vintage look. I would however argue that the issue with this image is not one of style, but rather of execution, since not enough care was taken to preserve skin tones. By contrast, the colours on this image also seem to have been tweaked, but the skin tones still look natural.

PS: the Oppenheimer look is indeed very striking, I wonder how much of it is due to the film stock used, and how much is colour grading? For Dune, I seem to recall that a convoluted process was needed to achieve the director's vision (shot on digital, transferred to 35mm film, and then scanned back to digital). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, unfortunately, very few of those using this style are experienced editors, and they lack having lived with the visual references. Btw, I can also recommend the art that Simon Stålenhag makes, where he uses old Swedish 70s photos as color scheme for his art. :-) --Cart (talk) 18:19, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Maybe this is a dumb reason to oppose, but I keep seeing the two pimples on his face, and they distract me inordinately. I think this is probably a legitimate reaction because the photo is supposed to be about him dancing, not the photo of someone with some acne on his face. Sorry if this seems shallow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just saying, don't get too hung up on the "dancer" part of the photo. It does say "Koryak dancer portrait"; it's just a description of him instead of his name. If there was a portrait of you here, and it said "Portrait of flutist Ikan Kekek", it could still be just a normal photo of you, you don't have to play in it for the caption to be accurate. (Not even gonna try comment on you vs the pimple situation — I'm watching a re-run of Ugly Betty and my mind is far too PC now. ;-) ) --Cart (talk) 21:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Info Yes indeed, this is an HDR photo. Four images with different shutter speed were merged into a single image. This shot was taken in low light conditions. Uploading this image in 11K Resolution was probably not the best idea. Maybe I should upload it again with a lower Resolution, for example with 2K or 3K. These strange margins or burnt edges will then probably be gone when you zoom to 1:1 (actual size) on the screen. -- Roy Egloff (talk) 22:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. Could you try to make a HDR of one image only? Would be a pity to loose the image size. Even knowing when the camera can do 100 MPIX.

Info The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurosiberia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America, home to the largest populations outside of its native range, with additional smaller introductions in Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Measuring 125 to 160 cm (49 to 63 in) in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange beak bordered with black. It is recognizable by its pronounced knob atop the beak, which is larger in males. Created and uploaded by Yerpo - nominated by -- 20 upper 19:26, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Replacement

Furthermore, a digitization from the British Museum (higher resolution, with a clearer provenance) is available and nominated here as a replacement. (Original nomination)

Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Fish#Family_:_Tetraodontidae_(Pufferfish)
Info Masked puffer (Arothron diadematus), Red Sea, Egypt. This pufferfish can only be found in the Red Sea from surface to 20 metres (66 ft) depth and associated with coral reefs. It has a maximum length of 30 centimetres (12 in) and is usually solitary but in schools during mating period. As with many other puffers, this pufferfish has a symbiotic relationship with types of bacteria that produces tetradotoxin which is a powerful neurotoxin. Tetradoxin is found in their skin and internal organs like liver and is approximately 100 times more toxic than cyanide, what makes pufferfishes among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. They are therefore highly toxic to most animals when eaten. Nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan, Korea, and China when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity. Furthermore one of the most known characteristics of pufferfishes is that they can inflate taking water or air an so multiply their size several times to avoid that they can be swallowed by predators. Note: we have no FPs of this species. I'm creating this nom following Ikan and Basile advise. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 23:50, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Basile Morin: my nomination emphasises water colour and clarity, which is what's missing from your examples, although they are great for other reasons. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 16:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Full-page advertisement for the 1941 film Panggilan Darah. It was published in D'Orient, which tended to use higher quality paper than most contemporary publications in the Dutch East Indies (which, given that it was aimed at the ruling class and the indigenous intellegensia, isn't surprising). For us, this means that we've been able to get an excellent reproduction of this advertisement. Note that, although I had the physical copy at the time of upload, I no longer have access to it; it should be in the collection of one of my colleagues.

Info Cesenatico was founded in 1302. Its port and canal were built later in 1314. The canal was then surveyed and improved by Leonardo da Vinci in 1502. Even though it was not originally designed by him, the canal has been dedicated to Leonardo in this way: Porto Canale Leonardesco.

  Since I didn't make any changes to the evident dark parts, I decided to lighten them a little bit and I have to admit that the result is now really nice.
  By the way, thanks for your review. (refresh the cache to see the difference) -- Terragio67 (talk) 21:53, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's noisier, though. Could you do something about that? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I uploaded a new version, denoising the image using Darktable (non local means - noise reduction). Terragio67 (talk) 05:21, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question There's a white glow around the sails of the boats and around the roof of the building on the left. Is that fixable? --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:56, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By zooming in on the affected parts, it is possible to clearly see the bright glare, consequently it should be repairable using semi-automated tools which would drastically reduce it. The bad news is that it will take a long time and I can't work on it today (Sunday). I'll try tomorrow as soon as possible. Terragio67 (talk) 05:35, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment
Uploaded a new image

@Ermell , @Ikan Kekek , @Frank Schulenburg
Although I have limited knowledge of photographic post-processing, I took your comments seriously and tried to correct them.
First I worked on a new image obtained from the original file RAW.
Then I tried mainly to lighten the dark areas and reduce the noise that arises under these circumstances.
Finally, I managed to reduce the white glow around the sails of the boats and around the roof of the church on the left. Please, let me know if the image is better now... -- Terragio67 (talk) 17:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Smoke from the Pika Fire rises from the left and goes above North Dome and Basket Dome, then obscures the sky above Tenaya Canyon and Half Dome on July 15th, 2023. The Pika Fire is a wildfire near North Dome in Yosemite National Park, California. Ignited by lightning on June 28, 2023. The fire filled the valley with smoke. This picture was taken from Glacier Point.

Neutral I am sorry to say so, but the detail level is quite low and the trees look a bit mushy – not what I would expect from a Z 9 photo taken at ISO 80. Maybe the lens was not up to the resolution of the Z 9? Or something went wrong during post-processing – did you apply any noise-reduction (should not be necessary here)? Sorry again, --Aristeas (talk) 08:56, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the smoke from the fire is what causes the lack of detail in the trees on the other side of the canyon, the air was hazy due to it. I didn't apply noise-reduction and the lens is the "24-120/4 S" so I don't think either of those things are the issue. Sorry it doesn't meet your expectations. Lorax (talk) 02:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, that may explain it. (And sorry if my comment seemed a bit harsh. My expectations come from the statements of many proud Nikon users which claim that the Z 9 is the best camera of the world and takes always perfect photos, while cameras and lenses by other manufacturers are just crap. Therefore I was a bit surprised to see a low level of details in a Z 9 photo …) --Aristeas (talk) 10:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So far photos with rainbows have been added to the galleries for the locations they appear over.

Info Orange-lined triggerfish (Balistapus undulatus), Red Sea, Egypt. This demersal triggerfish has a maximum body size of about 30 centimetres (12 in) and is found across the Indo-western Pacific East Africa, Red Sea and Japan, typically in coral reefs ecosystems, coral lagoons, and external reef slopes within this area. Within coral reefs, the orange-lined triggerfish are more versatile than other triggerfish species and can be found at depths up to 50 metres (160 ft), although studies have found that they prefer depths of 2 to 8 metres (6 ft 7 in to 26 ft 3 in). It's an omnivorous feeder that can, because of its strong and heavy teeth, tackle a variety of benthic prey like cnidarians, molluscs, ctenophores, crustaceans, other fish, algae, and echinoderms. This species in particular, given its broad diet and distribution, is a crucial component in coral reef ecosystems through top-down control and especially through consumption of sea-urchin.

Oppose I'm a bit torn on this one. It's an important historical document, but the image itself is... terrible. No clear subject, people facing away from the camera, bad composition in general... On the whole, I think I'm coming down on the side of oppose, because the image doesn't seem to be depicting anything in particular, and I don't think all images should be FPs just because they were taken by an historical figure.--Peulle (talk) 10:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It'a panoramic photo (and a simple Kodak Brownie capable of doing that is already great), it's from one century ago, it describes an important battleship in the middle of the WWI and immediately before the most important military operation the Russian Empire has ever done, it has an interesting composition that makes it really spontaneous, historically (and not only) interesting.

I realise that the "Historical" section of FP is dominated by the "american point of view" (many of the photos describes american history in much detail, whereas important european events aren't mentioned at all), but we absolutely need to expand the horizons and include all the great photos EVEN from Europe.

I thaught that this is a good start, even because it undermines some old stereotype.

It's sad that a norwegian like you (I'm both italian and swedish) continues to indirectly approve this point of view... European history has quite completely been cut off.

From now on, however, I will try to introduce new FP candidates that remarks european history (and sometimes even the american one, because americans seem to be a little bit ignorant of their own national history). LucaLindholm (talk) 16:44, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't about an "American point of view"! Haven't you noticed how many of the regulars here are from Germany, Austria, Spain, etc.? My problem with this photo is that it's in bad condition, and I think it would need to be digitally restored before I'd consider supporting it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:01, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi LucaLindholm, Swede here. I agree with what Ikan said above. You might not know this, but about half (maybe more) of the FPC users are from Europe, the rest are spread out all over the globe. But nationalities don't matters when we vote on photos here, we go for the best photos and not the country. One reason that American photos of historical events are so many, is that their museums and institutions are really good at digitizing their old photos and making them available online under free licenses. So with that treasure to dig from, it's no wonder they show up here. Other countries (like Sweden) are only beginning to make old photos digital and getting them online , but scanning techniques and licenses often make the work of finding really good photos for FPC a bit hard. God knows I've tried to find photos from our museums, but they suffer from the same bad scans as many others do. And even if the photo is old, it usually needs restoration, be of good original quality and composition to begin with. Like all the Nadar (French) and Julia Margaret Cameron (Brit) photos we have of people. I like your initiative to nominate photos from not so represented places, but FPC will judge them as any other photos and we are a picky bunch. ;-) --Cart (talk) 19:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: For restoring requirement I'm completely with you. At the beginning (until some week ago) I was uploading historical photos without changing nothing of them because I thaught in Commons was important to preserve the orginals and, then, create a bettered version. In the recent times I started to do some basic improvement with Windows Photo (removing the "yellowish" atmosphere, imrpoving a little bit the contrast, etc.), if you have better software for doing this, I would be pleased to know.

@W.carter: Interesting that most of us are European, but this makes the "Historical" FP subpage in that way arranged (with the U.S. history narrated in such high details)...

---

So, how do we proceed?

Do you want me to edit the file in some way and how and by which means? LucaLindholm (talk) 04:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LucaLindholm, I couldn't tell you the technicalities of how to proceed, but Chris Woodrich is an expert on digital restoration, so you should talk to him. As far as keeping the original scans: yes, you should. Earlier versions of a file will remain visible if you edit it, or you could choose to use a different filename with "restored" in it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden has a great breakdown of the means of finding free images, as well as discussion of restoration, at the English Wikipedia's Signpost. He makes specific reference to GIMP, which is good to test your interest in restoration with as it is free. Looking very briefly at this image, it looks like it would be a relatively simple restoration job... there's a corner where the photograph wasn't quite flush when being scanned which will need to be cloned in or cropped out, as well as some dust and damage, mostly in areas with little detail such as the sky. If digital restoration interests you, there are much worse first images. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:25, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because detail is very good and I could get some relevant feedback from Llez about the shot and the circumstances about it Poco a poco (talk) 23:35, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hello Poco a poco, you wanted some information about this photo. It was taken in Vogelpark Steinen on a very hot, sunny day. The aviary in which the animal sat faced north (i.e. the rear wall was the south wall, see also Google maps). Because of the heat, the animal sat in a relatively dark area. There were two difficulties with this: the light and the aviary grid. I managed to place the lens so directly in front of the grating that the head area was not covered by aviary wire or had a blurred area caused by it. This was only possible in a single camera position. With this camera position, however, the light was so weak that the exposure time would have been too long. So I used an external flash. I have the impression that many Wikimedians think that taking pictures in the zoo is relatively easy (the animal is there, you just press the shutter button). I do not agree with it. In relation to the field, zoo photography is not simpler, but different. How often do you come to an enclosure and not a single animal is to be seen. And if it can be seen, the background is usually unacceptable. In addition, the lighting conditions are often extremely unfavorable, so that additional light is required (flash), which then casts unnatural shadows if the animal sits too close to an aviary wall. So even in the zoo it is not easy to get good pictures of animals. It gets even more complicated in the aquarium. The panes are often scratched and overgrown with algae, which makes a photo impossible, the panes reflect and mirror the light and the animals are usually surrounded by a blue, annoying fringe. In my opinion, a good aquarium photo is at least as difficult as a good outdoor photo. It took me a long time to get acceptable ones, because in addition to a clean, unscratched pane, you need a certain distance and angle of the photo to the aquarium pane and a certain distance of the animal to the aquarium glass. Therefore in my opinion good zoo photos are also not easy, but require a lot of know-how. Best regards --Llez (talk) 08:35, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Llez, let me now answer with a bit more of time. I do it in English although, to be honest, I feel more comfortable in German (as you can see in my Bable infoboxees), as you surely do, but this is fine in the case somebody else would like to follow this conversation. Firstly, I have never said that it is easy to manage a high quality image in a zoo. I managed 3 but it is over 10 years ago (this one in a butterfly house in Spain, this one in a zoo in Germany and this one from a zoo in Vietnam). In fact, I will try to take down the FP status of those images or would be happy if somebody does, I am not proud of those images, even if it is a while ago. I believe that taking pictures in a zoo is fine if we have no good material from their natural habitat of the species on Commons, but when that's the case, there is no reason for me to give the FP status to a picture taken under cautivity. That's neither good for the animal, nor for our free movement. Sorry for being so clear here. Regarding the difficulties of this or that shot. Well, again, a good shot is never easy but I'm pretty sure that if not a bird in the first station, a sea lion next to it or a reptile in the next station can be shot properly. It's a matter of good skills and equipment (which you definitely have), time/patience and a bit of luck. But, what I don't buy is the effort of going to the aquarium around the corner (in my case Sea Life in Munich) vs taking 2-3 flights to get to a place like Anilao in the Philippines, famous for nudibranchias and getting into the water 3-4 times a day to capture animal life even risking my health (diving has risks, I also hurt myself, specially the legs, with sharp coral). Let alone the weeks of preparation for such a trip, the special equipment and the money to acquire it. You can only tell me that an aquarium is as difficult as an outdoor picture if you have tried both. I take over 1000 pictures per dive and will upload at the end a dozen maybe, that should also give you a hint about the difficulty, even after having dived a lot of times. I don't use flash for different reasons (I can elaborate on that if you like, but a bit off-topic), but in the meanwhile I believe that the quality of the images is improving significantly, at least, that's the feedback I've been getting and the reason why I was asked to talk about it in a recent session of the CPUG. The pictures I haven't uploaded yet are even better, I'm pretty sure about that. And as said, if you feel that the quality is not good enough you don't hurt my feelings if you oppose. That's the way it should work here. Best, Poco a poco (talk) 14:32, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Maybe some other folks will like this photo more than I do, but I think the unsharp peppers on the left, especially the near ones, detract from the photo, and the overall composition is not satisfying to me. I'd consider voting for a circular or square photo of just the bowl and some of the surrounding peppers. The photo by Wilfredor that you linked is a great composition that has a good DoF and a refreshing and pleasant variety of peppers. Except for both these pictures being about peppers, I don't think they're similar at all. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:17, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Cesenatico, historic boats, fishing boats. In use in the nineteenth century they were used for deep-sea fishing. Usually these boats fished together in small fleets and used smaller vessels.

They are part of the navy museum, and the canal designed by Leonardo da Vinci becomes a real open-air museum with the ships.

Oppose Thanks for nominating this picture, but I'm sorry to say that, in my opinion, this is not so special to be a FP. The boats on the left are so distracting. - ABAL1412^{🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺} (talk ☭) 14:38, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great composer and a well-composed portrait, but am I the only viewer here who finds his facial expression a bit odd? Though maybe that's appropriate for someone who wrote quirky dissonances and had a kind of magical tonal rescue technique (that's what I call it; I don't know if there are some music theorists who have another name for it, but it's a real signature of his style and something Shostakovich also used and picked up from him, as he was 15 years younger than Prokofiev). One could say that his somewhat odd expression while looking away from the camera but being traditionally and formally dressed like a conventional gentleman in a formal setting is thereby somewhat of a probably unintentional metaphor, though I could be reaching. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since I don't think you've worked with photographing people and models, I can see why you find the setup and expression strange. It is so hard to get most people to relax in front of a camera if they are not used to such attention. I usually have some time with "warm up photos" when I work with inexperienced models. He is rather young in this photo, and the set-up of doing a photo shoot was probably way outside his comfort zone. It was also a big production getting your photo taken in those days, no warm op photos, do whatever the photographer told you, and hold perfectly still for those one to maybe three shots that were made. My guess is that he was just very uncomfortable with the whole situation. --Cart (talk) 20:17, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think Carter is right... The LOC has the entire series, and he is quite grim or nonplussed throughout. I know personally, when I'm the one behind the camera (a rarity these days), I prefer candids over staged shots for this very reason. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've done posed snaps with my and other people's cellphones, but not for anything high-pressure. I take your points. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We are so used to cellphones with cameras these day, it's a totally different situation than it was only ten years ago. I think we are forgetting what a big thing a photo was 100 years ago. And Chris, even at fashion shoots, you sometimes get the best shot at the end when the model is just relaxing, thinking it's all finished. I like the almost Margaret Cameron style of that shot. :-) --Cart (talk) 22:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is excellent. Thanks for the share! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:12, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there are a lot of photos of these gulls, but none with such a defined and interesting plumage. This gull really puts the "great" in 'Great black-backed gull'. It looks like it's been working out! Could be the neighborhood tough guy, judging by the frayed tail feathers. ;-D With lots of "nice" and "good" gull photos, I don't mind one that is photographically great and interesting. --Cart (talk) 16:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- I'd defer to others on this nom, of course, but a couple reasons people may express higher standards for the swan are that they are very common and "cooperative" (they often approach humans). We have twenty FPs of that species, and voters will often compare a nomination to existing FPs. Not saying this photo is better than that -- just why a mute swan nomination is going to be tough. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 17:05, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe because the swan reminds them of The Swan Lake ballet, which was written by Tchaikovsky, a Russian. ^{just kidding.} -

  - Very tricky to remove, I agree; have to avoid it in taking the shot... Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, it's not so tricky to remove the green. You start with a color replacement brush and dip frequently in the non-green color next to the areas you want to change. Set the brush to soft, 80% opacity and flow at about 90%. Once you got the color right, dust over the areas with a soft clone brush set to about 50% opacity for some texture. Use the sand texture below the bird. Waft around with the brushes until you are satisfied. This is what I got rather quickly by doing this. I'm sure you can do much better once you get a hang of it. ;-) --Cart (talk) 21:41, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Short-nosed unicornfish (Naso brevirostris), Red Sea, Egypt. This species has a maximum published total length of 60 centimetres (24 in). It occurs in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. Adults feed mainly on gelatinous zooplankton, while juveniles mainly feed on benthic algae. The switch from grazing to preying on gelatinous zooplankton coincides with the development of the bony protuberance.
