Support Thank you very much for sharing this, it is a relief to see a good picture. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 23:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Composition is incredible. —Mono 02:29, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sorry; I still prefer your old super FP. Although the subject is interesting; I failed to see the scope for two FPs. J e e 02:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A relief to see a good picture?? super FP?? I haven't seen so much sucking up here before. You really are the Lord of the Flies. Correct me if I'm wrong but this picture was a alternative of previous nomination and now you have nominated it again? --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 09:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No; the nom. I mentioned above is at EN which has different review criteria. My comment above is also per my personal POV; not about its quality on aesthetic aspects. There is not a requirement that a reviewer need to be capable to take competitive pictures. But he had a lot of FPs earlier; and this make a Flickr Explore #1 recently. J e e 09:46, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture you are referring to is really excellent. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 11:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The sea is unnaturally dark and the same with half of the cliff. I haven't been there myself but a quick google search gives me pictures with much better lighting, for example here. Apart from this, a long exposure would certainly add some wow to the photo but now it's just a snapshot. I would expected something more from someone with so "high standards" and extremely critical towards others. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 09:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please do not make personal attacks. You should refer to comment on the image. It is the best way to bring this section, the most balanced, technically and objectively as possible. I invite you to reflect and stop this negative attitude. On the other hand, from the technical point of view, the example you have shown me a picture much more digitally modified than the current nomination (look the sky and overexposition, for example). I lived on the coast for 30 years and have seen similar colors to this photo. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 12:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I wished a MUCH tighter crop at the top (see note) and a wider crop at the right. I am unsure if the light is fortunate for that motive. Most parts of the relief are in shadow. Contrary the warm light on the sand is nice. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:52, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good comments by Tuxyso. Hopefully addressed. Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. and Mono are asked if they still support. Saffron Blaze (talk) 22:35, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will support the tighter crop at the top :) --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 22:52, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I understand that the motion blur is necessary to convey the sense of movement of the crane arms, but the verticals are out of focus too. Sorry, but not convinced about the composition or quality. --DAJF (talk) 11:12, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Estonian contingent has had a disproportionate impact on the results here and on possibly the POTY, but I would be surprised there is any kind of puppetry going on. National pride is not yet a crime. Would hate to be proven wrong though. Saffron Blaze (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.101.124 (talk • contribs)

Hello Mr. Saffron Blaze, I don't belong to Estonia. I just thought that this was a pic worthy of FP status and I just nominated it. I am neither the sockpuppet of the uploader nor biased towards Estonia. I was browsing through the user page of the uploader and found this pic. Nikhil (talk) 13:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Italic text is copied from another page and in not a comment by Saffron Blaze to this nomination. Just wanted to warn Estonians for voting here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.101.124 (talk • contribs)

Well firstly, it is not great style to post unsigned comments from IPs. I think it would be for the better of this project, if we had people from all countries as engaged as the Estonians here. I cannot speak for POTY, but I see not a lot of issues going on FP. If people think that images should not promoted, they have to oppose - simple as that, I do not think that there are enough people from any country here to get FPs through on their own. --DXR (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC) Edit: I was not aware about the ongoing issue at the talk page. However that does not change my opinion since it is a special issue involving two users, not an entire country... --DXR (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, DXR. Whoever is editing from that IP, I think it is not in the interest of Wikimedia Commons to write a reckless comment about bias towards a country without logging in. As I said, I nominated the pic here only when I thought that this would be worthy of being an FP. It had nothing to do with my nationality or that it was a pic from Estonia. One can point out any technical flaws in the nomination without logging in, but please stop making prejudiced comments. Nikhil (talk) 16:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would anyone be surprised the IP address is from Estonia? That aside, I never said there is arranged country block voting. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- No I haven't. --Rutake (talk) 09:32, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The EXIF data says "Saturation=High" so it has been boosted a bit, probably in-camera. However, I will confirm the colours can be vivid on a bright autumn day and some adjustment of saturation is quite normal. I guess the turquoise sky next to the orange slopes is a bit clashing in terms of colour harmony. -- Colin (talk) 12:51, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It is a beautiful landscape but the composition isn't working for me. The cloud keeps taking my attention off the land. The smoke is a fire rather than a steam train, which is a shame. The path isn't successfully leading the eye. I'd like to see a bit more of the lake and less of the path. The 4:3 ratio doesn't help I think. -- Colin (talk) 12:49, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I didn’t know there was such a thing like right and wrong smoke sources. Since there is no railway line even near this place, a steam train would be much wronger a source IMO.

Oppose Per Tuxyso. This is a common bird. -- Colin (talk) 12:42, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Focus is IMHO acceptable but this picture looks strange to me, have you reworked the bokeh with a noising mask? to me the bird looks isolated from the enviroment, especially around the head. Poco² 21:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the comment - I've done some background noise reduction via a mask, but nothing drastic. The isolation from the environment is caused by a very strong backlight from sun reflected off a window, and combined with the facing side getting the direct sunlight is part of the reason I like it so much. If it was just backlit you'd lose contrast in the subject, but here you don't - this does look different, I'll grant you. This here was one that got away (and in a slightly different spot along the same branch), but also shows the same backlit effect. The light was reflected off a small window, and only lasted a few minutes to illuminate this particular spot --Baresi franco (talk) 22:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, any other user can unflip them but can you be sure the images really are flipped? Even if you tried to locate the places you probably would not be able to recognize the views in nature. This shows how absurd the discussion really is. The sequence of trees or stones doesn't matter. It is not a deception. There are no heritage protection object in these pictures. The flip does not change the nature, the atmosphere nor the quality of the site. I don't know about you but I'm not a google street-view photographer and I'm not environmental copyist. Since my work doesn't fit yours standard, I will not contribute anymore. It must be a relief to many of you. Wish you all the best. -- (unsigned)

- @DXR: I've very corrected stretching very moderately. Keep in mind that the car is quite long :) I like the gap between palmtree and car - it brings some tension into the photo. I've used wide-angle to include as much as possible from the interesting environment and placed the car just under the remarkable cloud.

@Colin: What had you done better? Where do you see room for improvements? --Tuxyso (talk) 22:01, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The critic is entitled to comment without being talented enough to do better!! :-). The components are far apart with a hole in the middle. The elements on the left of the tree are distracting. The car overlaps the sea in a way that seems accidental rather than posed. The white sand needs to be an out-of-focus background rather than something so detailed you see the imperfections (such as the weed near the car's tyre). The car is too small and in an undramatic side-view pose. The front of the car is not as well lit as the back. I don't know what your intention is but I guess I'd be looking to create an image that makes one think "Beautiful car in a perfect setting", but where the subject (the car) is dominant and detailed and the setting is more of an impression. -- Colin (talk) 22:34, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Colin, first: Thanks a lot for your circumstantial comment - I really appreciate constructive comments with ideas for improvements. It's a good question what my original intention of the shot was. I am no commercial photographer thus "Beautiful car in a perfect setting" was not my very intention. The location, the Salton Sea, has been a very popular holiday location in the 19th century. Famous stars like Frank Sinatra had their fincas there. But the sea was massively polluted by farming and is now acid. The past splendour of the place is gone, the villages around the sea become more and more ghost village, see e.g. this photo and tourist do not yet go there. Thus my original intention was not perfection. At the first glance the setting implies such perfection (blue sky, nice clours sea, palms, ...) but at the second glance this perfection is undermined: dirt on the sand, the gap between car and palm tree, the massively leaning electricity pylons at the very left. I confess that the composition is improveable if one had moved the car - I just went out (46°C) and tried to compose a photo as good as possible - I was satisfied with the result. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:13, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Very interesting. Well all I can do is repeat my request that folk offer a rationale for this picture like you've done now. Some pictures work simply as straightforward subject shots for WP, say, but others are more complex or have interesting shooting conditions. See Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Stipiturus malachurus - Southwest National Park.jpg for another case where it would be interesting to know the situation and be explicit about the technical challenges. There are feelings about this photo and the landscape that are in your head and didn't translate to the bare picture nom. If it was part of a visual narrative of the area, then it might have worked better (though I'm not sure how this car fits into that story). It would be nice if someone offered such a visual narrative as a FP set, say. Would make a change from assessing sole photographs that are expected to stand alone in judgement. -- Colin (talk) 08:56, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Background information to photographs are interesting, especially in technically challenging cases. Your idea to add narratives to photos is interesting. But I see problems with the language gap. Those people who are more familiar with the English language do have advantages with such nominations. Nonetheless I completely agree that background information to FP noms are valueable and should be added if possible. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:43, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        By "narrative" I meant en:Visual narrative, not text (though words in the description are useful). See "The Photographer's Story: The Art of Visual Narrative" by Michael Freeman, for example. -- Colin (talk) 10:34, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I mostly agree with Colin's perception. My first impresion here was a car and a palm, none of which are predominant but still tends to be in my eyes a (not featurable executed) commercial shot of a Nissan car. The fact that the surface of the sea is hidden by the car, and the elements on the left are also a minus to me. I would also add the the sharpness is just middle of the road (applies to both, the palm and the car). Summary: strange composition that doesn't work to me and is not overweighted by quality, sorry. Btw, I fully agree on the need of adding a description with the nomination. I have always done it and will always do because it adds value to the nomination and we all want to learn something there. Furthermore if there is no information we could miss something (intention of the photographer, cultural or historical value, etc.). Poc o² 11:01, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like the subject, BUT: 4.7MP out of a 24MP camera (downsampled? or 5 times digital zoom?), ISO 800 in bright daylight? Unsharp foreground, unsharp tail of the train. Burnt out (and brought back to grey) sky on the upper right. Strange looking background. --P e z i (talk) 20:04, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(1) What's the problem with the downsampling? It's just the decision of the photographer. The minimum requirement is given! Maybe the photographer wants to sell a version of higher resolution and gives us this one. This is his right to do so if he wants.

(2) All important parts of this train are in focus and sharp. For sure neither the tail nor the bottom part is important. So we have perfect focus here.

(3) We can't judge how the lightning situation was in fact. So the ISO 800 may be a good decision. First: for me it does not look like a very shiny day, more like a cloudy one. Second: we have here a moving object and not a fixed. So ISO 800 isn't very wrong to ensure a short exposure time. I don't see an adverse effect of noise in this picture, are you?

(4) I don't see anything strange about this background. Did I miss s.th.? --Wladyslaw (talk) 21:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, offering low-resolution with a CC licence while thinking you one can sell the high-resolution version is no longer wise since CC have warned they may be considered legally the same "work of copyright" and so both under CC. -- Colin (talk) 17:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

True. I have no corrections profile for this lens but I can do it manually. Would that do it for you? --TigrouMeow (talk) 23:46, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral The distortion originates in the angle of the camera (horizon not centered vertically) and isn't a fault of the lens. So no lens profile would fix it. I personally don't find it too annoying because it's not a strictly architectural shot. However, I do find the composition to be somewhat lacking in wow or a clear structure in the image.

Delist Nothing against the pictures otherwise but I do agree about the flipping. Photographs like these are likely to be used in Wikipedia and That's where the educational value of the picture is important. A flipped landscape doesn't represent the reality and so the educational value is kind of lost because it's misleading for someone who tries to study the places by the photographs for example. --Ximonic (talk) 14:50, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I assume from these edits ([1], [2], [3]) that Urmas83 is now in a pressure and has a difficulty to understand the points. Urmas83, please read the policies and guidelines, especially COM:SCOPE and COM:IG and discuss on the FPC:Talk if you have any doubts. Note that your contributions are irrevocable and any other user can and create an unflipped image from it as the license you granted allows "to adapt". Please stay calm to constructive criticisms that will be good for you in long time. J e e 02:53, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, any other user can unflip them but can you be sure the images really are flipped? Even if you tried to locate the places you probably would not be able to recognize the views in nature. This shows how absurd the discussion really is. The sequence of trees or stones doesn't matter. It is not a deception. There are no heritage protection object in these pictures. The flip does not change the nature, the atmosphere nor the quality of the site. I don't know about you but I'm not a google street-view photographer and I'm not environmental copyist. Since my work doesn't fit yours standard, I will not contribute anymore. It must be a relief to many of you. Wish you all the best.
I didn't say any of your images is flipped. I only made a reference of your previous FP, one user asked whether they are flipped and you answered "yes". We have a policy COM:AGF, so we are committed to believe you unless it can be proved otherwise. You can clearly see what I said later. COM:SCOPE demands realistic pictures for architectures and landscapes as they can't be flipped in real life. I am not bothered about animals or objects that can be turned.

Question Why you flipped those pictures? Here we need "realistic pictures" as per our scope, especially for landscapes, architectures and other static objects. Flipping an animal or object will not hurt that much as they can also turn themselves. ;) J e e 13:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, any other user can unflip them but can you be sure the images really are flipped? Even if you tried to locate the places you probably would not be able to recognize the views in nature. This shows how absurd the discussion really is. The sequence of trees or stones doesn't matter. It is not a deception. There are no heritage protection object in these pictures. The flip does not change the nature, the atmosphere nor the quality of the site. I don't know about you but I'm not a google street-view photographer and I'm not environmental copyist. Since my work doesn't fit yours standard, I will not contribute anymore. It must be a relief to many of you. Wish you all the best.

Support Although this bridge is fairly well known, and imo one of Paris' nicest bridges, few images are around that manage to show its character well at night. Especially the metal construction at the bottom often gets lost in images that capture the entire bridge since it is very dark. The image presented here is not an HDR, but has been reworked in LR to an extent that I would consider appropriate to its actual appearance.

Comment To be honest I have difficulties with such art nominations. The motive has definitely Wow potential but isn't it the wow coming from the original artist and not from the way is is photographed? For me as a person who is mainly interested in photographic aspects of Commons it is difficult to assess how much work is by Jebulon and how much work is from the original artist. If there was special effort necessary in order to photograph the motive in the way as it is done here I can warmy encourage the photographer to provide these information with together with nomnination. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:54, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you enjoy ? Then support is the last word. Do you think a FP needs to be difficult to be taken ? IMO you are basically wrong, but in this case, be sure that it is difficult. To photograph anything inside, without tripod, among tourists, is very hard. Do you think that post-processing work must be hard and must take time ? Again, you are wrong IMO. But be sure that it was hard and took a lot of my time. Anyway, you can compare with other similar works, like (no offense to the photographer) this one... I don't see any difference with a garden perspective photograph or a nice building picture or a wonderful mountain landscape (What is feature-able in Versailles ? The Le Nôtre gardens, or a very good picture of Le Nôtre gardens ? A nice old building is feature-able because of the photographer, or because of the architect ? Idem for anything). I've nominated this picture, simply because it is different, because I think the technical quality is up to the FP standards, and because I find this beau-ti-ful. And, more than any support vote or any FP star (I've got enough), I'm happy to share, from time to time, my vision of beauty with high level other photographers, better photographer than me. But at the end, once FP technical standards checked, let your heart speak. If you hear nothing, then ignore, and assess another picture. Long explanations in nominations has never made a picture better... Have you ever seen that kind of ceilings before ? This is the best relief of the CoA of pope Saint Pius V we have, and remember: this is not a wall, but a ceiling...
- About pictures of works of art in general, as for me I just abstain for paintings (especially when famous), because I'm never sure of the colors (remember the last "Van Gogh", recently nominated with a very different alternative). But I think all other works of art are welcome here. When I nominate the Pietà of Michelangelo as FP candidate, be sure that I chose a masterpiece, and a ++ very good (IMO) version, very "worked", and deserving at least the nomination. That's an interesting discussion, and I'd be happy to continue it with you, dear Tuxyso. But it is not the place, and the "Babel" problem is still here...--Jebulon (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Good technical quality but not entirely convincing composition. The right part of the photo (the bridge) is not very interesting, have you considered a different crop?--ArildV (talk) 12:18, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- From an encyclopedic viewpoint the bridge is very important thus cropping out or massively reducing its visual importance is no good idea. From a compositional point I like the crossing of the two bridge structures at the golden-ratio position. I also tried to include some elements from the river bank at the right to give the photo some depth. Have you got a concrete suggestion for a better crop? --Tuxyso (talk) 12:36, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I added a suggestion. I dont think you lose any encyclopaedic value, the bridge is still there and the original image did not show the entire bridge either).

Oppose The problem I see is not the right crop, that would be acceptable IMO since it is softy hidden by the tree. I can repeat in this candidate my comment from the Mülheim nomination. The quality is top but there is nothing spectacular here. The item drawing the attention is the bridge and it is not really appealing. Sorry to oppose once more, nothing personal, you know that.

Support I adore the division of this photo because of the rounding of the bridge. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:07, 24 february 2014 (UTC)
weak Support. The crop could be more radical imo - a bit too much concrete on the right side. Still, I do like the colors and the calm, almost serene atmosphere. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 21:48, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose QI but no wow. The sweep of the handrail has potential but it doesn't stand out, being the same colour as the empty road, which dominates the right hand side. The flower boxes are all empty -- how much better this would be if they were full of colourful flowers. The pedestrian on the bridge looks glum, carrying her shopping bag. The road and boats all point towards a subject, which is good, but it is just a streetlamp, which isn't switched on. So the eye isn't rewarded. It is a lovely day, but the scene isn't really making me want to be there. If only we had an attractive couple walking towards the camera, with a riot of flowers in the boxes, and some attractive lighting... -- Colin (talk) 08:09, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, MarsPF2, but the image is currently well below the quality level expected from featured pictures. I assume that you are new here: To get a better understanding of the expectations we have you should first nominate some images at Quality Images to get a feeling what is necessary at a somewhat less harsh threshold of requirement. Please make also sure that you read the guidelines carefully before nominating. The image you have nominated here has fairly poor detail and not corrected white borders from the panorama stiching process. Furthermore the composition is not very convincing, showing some part of the tower. --DXR (talk) 17:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Michelangelo - Photographied, uploaded and nominated by me--Jebulon (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Renomination after rework of this Michelangelo's Pietà, one of the marvels on the human genius IMO, and one of the great masterpieces of all times. This work has his own article in many wikipedias.I know that we already have a FP of the same subject, but it is now a bit old (2008), and a bit small. The nominated version has double size. It seems to have a sufficient quality (better than the already feaured version IMO - chromatic noise etc-). Those who know the place know also how it is difficult to take such a photograph, without tripod nor flash, and through a glass...-- Jebulon (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not really easy for me right now. I have never witnessed a delist and replace during my short time here, but wouldn't that be the right place for doing one with the FP you have mentioned? Both images show the same subject with approx. 30° difference in viewing angle while having a very comparable crop. That seems pretty similar to me. --DXR (talk) 19:08, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I asked myself the same question, but 1)We already have at least 3 FP of the Neuschwanstein castle taken from the same place (the bridge), 2) I'm not a fan of delisting old FP, and 3) as you noticed, my candidate is different, because not taken from the front. And there is no way to have another crop, due to the nature of the composition of the sculpture. Thoughts ? Supports ? --Jebulon (talk) 21:06, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Okay, given that two FPs of one subject appears to be accepted, I can well support as the quality is certainly good.

Comment I am not really convinced. The composition is imho a bit disorganized. I would suggest a tighter crop at the top (see note).

Support Great! Very nice and impressive work. It would be nice to provide some background information how the photo was created. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:06, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The foreground is lit with off-camera flash with a CTB gel. Custom white balance is set to the gel color to create the complementary tint to the sky and background. And the interior of the shed is lit with a mini softbox with a green cover. Should this go in the image description? --RalfHuels (talk) 12:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- BTW I had a bit of a struggle whether this would be seen as an image manipulation under the guidelines. As the manipulation was done with lighting and in camera and showing the reality of the background location is clearly not the main purpose of the image, I chose not to flag the image as retouched, even though the colors are not what a human would have perceived at the scene. If consensus is otherwise, I'll add the template. --RalfHuels (talk) 12:38, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Just out of interest, I have examined the image in LR and with lines etc. and I do not find any convincing evidence for "strong tilts" when looking at verticals (there might be a minimal one, but a straight oppose based only on that is pretty harsh, imo). Surely the coastline is not reliable as indicator and I see a lot of pretty vertical lines. --DXR (talk) 00:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am convinced on your argument that this isn't titled. Must be an illusion created by the landscape. Also, I tried a couple of different crops and could not improve on this composition. What I would have liked would have required a higher perspective. Removing the oppose. Saffron Blaze (talk) 01:06, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks DXR, indeed I've tried to put the verticals straight. And if there is a tilt it is not obvious IMO, and I don't see it. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:10, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given DXR's comment I opened the image in an editor and at full resolution it was very apparent there is no tilt with every vertical object perfectly perpendicular to the horizon.

Oppose The bottom half is good with the clean wooden path, regular patterns, lovely still reflection, but then the eye is carried up to the top and things peter out. The centre has a few trees, a hazy hill and then further over some kind of oil refinery. The scrub land and trees which occupy so much of the image don't in themselves make a strong enough subject -- perhaps the bog has flowering plants another time of the year. Possibly a better photo could have concentrated only on the path and its reflection closer up. Or have a group or couple walking on the path. -- Colin (talk) 10:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What is ice-six and how does that relate to tetragonal crystals? Why is the normal ice annotated as 1h? Is groves a scientific term? Shouldn't ganymede be Ganymede given it is a proper name? Saffron Blaze (talk) 04:32, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's literally like 15 kinds of ice in the universe, including Ice six & Ice one-h. Ice six for whatever reason has tetragonal crystals, Ice 1h is the snowflake-kind we all know and love (the h stands for hexagonal crystals). Take a look at the w:Ice article. I didn't note "hexagonal crystals" cause everyone knows normal ice is hexagonal. Idk if grooves is a scientific term but that's what the wikipedia Ganymede article uses. && I usually don't capitalize headings, it's stylistic.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 05:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting stuff. In reading that I would suggest you clean up how you present the ice information. In one you use the official ice designation first yet in the other it is bracketed. I get you are assuming people know normal ice is hexagonal but I am certain you are mistaken. I would suggest naming the layers after their shape (hexagonal and tetragonal) and bracketing the official name (Ice 1h and Ice VI) for consitency.

Comparing it to your other graphics of the Sun, Earth, Moon, etc, the bold text is nicer. And well, I don't really bother whether it's the iOS 7 age or not, as long as Macs don't rule the world (and Windows does). I'm changing the vote to oppose, but you can (of course) choose whether it should remain unbolded or not. Cheers. ;) (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 07:00, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tuxyso, ich möchte nicht überkleinlich sein und ein Weak support ist ja immer noch vor allem ein Support, aber ich finde die Schärfe der rechten Häuserzeile für ein Bild vom Stativ einfach ein bisschen zu gering, vor allem am zweiten von links, und ich persönlich habe lieber ein wenig mehr Rauschen als eine doch relativ starke Weichzeichnung.

Comment After a bit of hesitation (regarding composition) I guess that this one can become FP. At the moment I am neutral, because a lot of details on the bright fassades are not yet visible (see note). The bright areas are not burnt out but could be brought out much better if you (selectively) reduce the highlights of the photo. If you make a test and reduce overall brightness of -1 EV you see how many details are still there. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Whitehall Court in London is one contiguous building but consists of two separate constructions built in the 1880s. The right part occupied by the National Liberal Club was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the major part (including the Royal Horseguards Hotel) was designed by Archer & Green. Well-known residents have included George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Sarah Caudwell, and Stafford Cripps. Panorama with high level of detail to capture all of the interesting features of the building.

Do you seriously think the other three experienced reviewers are just incompetent morons out to antagonize people?

This image fails virtually every single criteria we seek in FP. Saffron Blaze (talk) 02:42, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, why are you attacking my opinion when I did not attack anyone's opinion? I only voiced my own opinion as I find it meets the FP criteria, that's all. So this only enforces everyone's fear that there is no "free speech" to oppose when everyone else supports, just that in this case, it's the opposite situation. You are free to oppose, but please do not attack others' opinions. Thank you very much. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 03:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is impossible to respect an opinion that has no foundation in reality. I have cordially discussed this penchant you have to make out of step arbitrary assessments based on personal preferences and this apparent need to assert your opinion against reasoned consensus. I am not the only one who has mentioned this either. Yet you persist despite our attempts to provide friendly counsel. The fact of the matter this image fails every criteria we set out for FPC yet you think it should be featured as one of our finest works. This opinion of yours was offered despite very obvious opposition from seasoned reviewers. That is why I cannot respect this vote of support. Saffron Blaze (talk) 05:32, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Saffron. I just thought about it and I think probably it isn't really top-class, "our best work", and suitable for FP. So I shall withdraw my vote. Earlier on, I promoted it to QI, and I think that's probably more suitable for this photo, compared to FP. If you have any opposition, you can open a discussion at the QI nomination. If no discussion is opened, I think it would be promoted tomorrow at 04:58 UTC. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 06:53, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info What the original reviewers apparently didn't know (because the file description[s] didn't have this information): It is a composite image. And a deceiving one at that: We see a normal, colour image of Saturn with ultraviolet aurora in false-colour overlaid on it. The colourful, nice-looking image conceals the fact that we don't know colours of aurorae on Saturn yet. (Original nomination) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scanmap (talk • contribs) --DXR (talk) 23:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am by no means an expert on astronomy, but your exact complaint is disclosed in the, admittedly German, description. --DXR (talk) 23:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CommentAt the time of FP candidacy the description read:

English: Auroras on Saturn.

Comment First, please don't forget to sign your comments. Second, I highly doubt that many people here are motivated to delist a photo due to issues that do no longer exist. --DXR (talk) 20:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Don't you think it is important to know what you're looking at in order to do a valid review of an image? I think especially with this picture knowledge is important to get anything from it. So the question im asking here is: Do people still think it is a worthy featured picture when they have the facts in mind? Imagine it was "just" a painting? Or would we rather prefer something more honest - that arguably even uses the false colours for some useful purpose like the one to the right? - I'm not trying to lobby against the picture. If the standards for FP still cover this I'm fine with that.

Issues that might still exist in my opinion are: You have to be told beforehand what you are looking at in order to not be fooled. And then it's more or less just nice-looking.--Scanmap (talk) 22:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, yet this is the FP section of Commons (and not en.wiki and not COM:VIC) where the relationship between encyclopedia and esthetics is rather skewed towards the second. While I agree that it wasn't ideal to nominate an image that wasn't described well enough, I do not think that the image in its current form including a decent description is unworthy of FP status. I do indeed think that viewers can be expected to read a description, that's why they are there after all.

It is unfortunate that the image linked here is slightly small and unsharp, otherwise I would have suggested a nomination here. You are obviously very free to nominate an image you consider better or more suited, but I personally feel that an current FP must have larger flaws than the ones pointed out by you in order to be delisted. --DXR (talk) 08:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Colors and motive are impressive, but there are stiching errors (?) / HDR fusing errors of the blade of grass in the foreground, I guess easily fixable via stamping. Although it is a very nice photo, the composition is imho only average.

Info Impression of Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord at blue hour. Taking this picture was quite demanding, considering I was standing in a relatively tiny courtyard surrounded by industrial buidlings. An UWA lense was essential, plus some perspective correction. All the different sources of light made it difficult to correctly adjust the WB. What is more: The red light was kind of flickering, resulting in the impression that the "red tower" is somewhat lacking sharpness, although both objects in front of and behind it are in fact in focus.

Oppose Sorry but I´m not so happy with the composition and quality. The very wide field of view makes a perspective correction necessary, so far so good. But the result is a little bit too much for my taste. Now it looks like Penrose stairs to me... ;-) --mathias K 10:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral The light there is very challenging (as I know from my own experience). You managed it very well - congrats. The quality of the shot is also very good. The reason for my neutral vote is that the composition is not fully convincing. There are limited photo positions but the building is directed away from the viewer and looks somehow imbalanced. As far as I can remember the atrium where you are standing is very tight and the usage of ultra WW obligatory and the perspective rather extereme. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:46, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Panoramic view of Bangkoks hazy skyline. Pictures where taken from the "2nd" floor of the Wat Arun. It is a 14 (upright)picture pano taken at 100mm, hand-halt. ;-) c/u/n by me, mathias K 17:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- mathias K 17:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
2nd Info I know that the foreground looks a bit random and maybe not everyone likes the resulting actual crop. But there were some roofs in the foreground so I had to crop this for the "hazy-city effect". Just for orientation, the Millenium Hilton Hotel (with the "UFO" on top) right in the middle of the picture is about 5,5 km away. --mathias K 18:17, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is the background in focus or is that just the haze? Either way it does detract from a massive pano with lots of detail. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would say the focus fits pretty good. Even those little things like satellite dishes and antennas are visible very well, though through the haze ;-). But anyway I got your point and agree with it. I would also prefer this pano with bright sunshine, a blue sky and all those little details shown clear and "sharp". But with the given circumstances, I like the result pretty much cause this hazy view, with the nearly mising colours has something special in my eyes. --mathias K 05:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

mathias, thanks for your rewiew and for your explanations but I want to specify that the aspect of the water is not caused by oversharpening but by a very strong North wind (look at the grass), which causes every times a lot of very small waves and an aspect very wrinkled of the water. --Christian Ferrer 07:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

swap my comments to insults really is not very mature, I express just what I think, and sincerely believe to be quite objective, no fury, no insult.

Oppose Sorry, but there is a reason why the pro's use another viewpoint (though a shame we can't). Not seeing the rider's eyes fails it for me. -- Colin (talk) 11:58, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your bit about pros. We were with others photographers, "as if" we were from the press. it's the meaning of "accredited". We had access to the same spots than the professionals. but, as you can see in the category, being "on the ground" poses other problems, the first being the public and everything in the background. it's, in my opinion, one of the interests of this picture, the spotless background. 90.84.146.197 12:57, 8 March 2014 (UTC) ps: I'm on my phone, I can't ad links, sorry.[reply]
I misunderstood your comment about restrictions. But it is common in events for pros to have positions that the public can't use. And lenses the public can't afford. -- Colin (talk) 14:11, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We were having access to positions that the public can't use. See the white person in the right top corner in File:2013 Longines Global Champions - Lausanne - 14-09-2013 - Gerco Schröder et New Orleans.jpg ? That's the photographer of this picture, at another time of the day, in the same spot that this photo.

Regarding the lense, it's taken with a 80-200mm f2.8 Minolta mounted on a Sony Alpha 900, a 3000€ euro combination, not really everybody's equipment. Pleclown (talk) 17:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are focusing on aspects of my comment that aren't relevant to the oppose. The viewpoint doesn't make the jump as dynamic as it could be, and not seeing the eyes of a subject is problematic. -- Colin (talk) 18:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose There is a notable lighting/brightness difference between the left and right halves of the image. It gives the impression this was two images stitched at the middle. Not convinced this particular building rises to the level of wow either given its rather mundane surroundings. I do like the lone indivual walking across the front. Nice scale reference. Saffron Blaze (talk) 15:37, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The difference in the light is because of a shade just thrown by some clouds on some parts of the ground and the building. A couple of minutes later the whole building was overshadowed. Isn't that actually a plus to catch the moment of changing the lighting conditions?--MrPanyGoff 22:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It is just a reflection. I cannot determine which is the subject. If it is trying to show the building, then the trees and the reflection get in its way. If it is trying to show the water and the trees then the building is awfully disturbing. IMHO. Barcex (talk) 20:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thank you for nomination. I like this photo. Some environments are complex. This lake is located very close to the city center (In the background is en:Folksamhuset). The south shore (where I was standing when I took the picture) is a nature reserve. The northern section covers different eras, the trees on the north side is planted and belonged to a former estate. Around the year 1900 industry expanded in the area and Atlas Copco built a huge industrial area. The company dominated the area during most of the 1900s and also built the brick house. In the late 1900s, the industry move further out from the city and the new houses were built. I think (besides the wonderful autumn and the reflections in the water) that the environment is interesting with contrasts between nature and the growing and changing city. I added a geocode to show the location better. Thanks for comment and votes.--ArildV (talk) 08:04, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have found apparently a new hobby? Giving the same cursorily argument on all my nomination. So it looks.--Wladyslaw (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It goes to the heart of why this not FP. It is a perfectly ordinary photo of a perfectly ordinary balloon, with no apparent attempt at artistic composition or spectacular technical achievement. In contrast, King of Hearts, I don't think "I think it is quite good" is a satisfactory reason to support an image that is supposed to be among our finest works -- have you looked at the category for balloons? -- Colin (talk) 10:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question It is almost perfect technically. I would definitely support if the resolution is higher and the sharpness increased. Any chance? --Jordy Meow (talk) 00:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Higher Resolution? My camera has 16 MP and this image was not downsized, so no chance to get a higher resolution. But I wonder anyways what is the effort increasing the resolution? You want to make a ultra poster out of it? This picture was not sharpend in addition, IMO it's sharp enough. But I could for sure sharpen the image a bit. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why would increasing the resolution/sharpness make this more interesting? Remember this is supposed to be the "finest" on Commons, so a look at the category is a good idea. This is complicated by the fact that someone has over-categorised as is a frequent problem on Commons. But still, we have thousands of balloon photographs and many are equal to this in technical quality and lots are superior in terms of subject (not least, as Saffron points out, the other balloon picture by Wladyslaw). -- Colin (talk) 08:22, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've never had to do point bokeh so it's not that obviouss—Love, Kelvinsong talk 23:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've actually noticed it all the while, including in the other diagrams. And I like it, as it lets us know which planet the moon belongs to, and gives the effect of viewing the moon from space.

Oh stahp it's literally just a 8.0 gaussian blur on jupiterr!.

Also I didn't really want to invest so much effort if there was a chance they wouldn't be very well recieved bc a lot of large projects I drew before wound up getting ignored in FPC so I don't do those anymore.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question How could we be sure that this design shows the truth ? Is Callisto's interior really like that ? In other words: are these diagrams "scientific" ? Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 23:28, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The diagram is based on a doctoral thesis and the WP article according to the description. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jebulon Good question & not really one I can answer. Usually I just draw what the sources specify & if the scientists are wrong you can't really blame me. I use 3D projection software & draw these things with neurotic precision because I'm like OCD with this so you certainetely don't have anything to worry about on my end. Really I don't think it's even possible to be wrong with subjects like this cause from what I read not even the lab coats know what's inside the Jupiter moons. It mostly consists of all the scientists making their own guesses about the moon structure and each guess is different. Sometimes the scientists even contradict themselves (along the lines of "wtf eight pages ago you said Callisto had Ice III inside it & now it turned into Ice V??"). If I tried to average the numbers or cover every possibility there would probably not actually be any Callisto diagram to vote on here. Really the only way to do this is to just pick one source that's fairly recent & comprehensive enough & go with it. Ig if a PhD publication can't be trusted then I don't even know what can then.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:15, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Kelvinsong for complete answer. I'm fully ignorant about astronomy. I don't want to "blame" anybody, and especially not scientists ! It was just a series of questions, and I think they are not illegitime in this case. Your kind answer is sufficient for me. "Love" too, --Jebulon (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't understand my English, I can explain me in spanish: En cuanto la composición, la foto está descompensada. El sujeto mira hacia la derecha y el espacio libre está hacia la izquierda. Es una pena, pero, para mí, no es una buena foto--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 16:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The issue Bugallo raised is he didn't like the space on the left he thinks it should be on the right. He is entitled to that opinion. I just don't agree with it. If the black space was on the right it would be like Mr Gabrial is singing to the void. Here he gives the impression of singing out to those beyond. It's just a matter of taste and people vote their taste here. BTW, this latest edit isn't likely to help your cause. Saffron Blaze (talk) 16:57, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Really nice picture! But for me there are some issues to make me oppose. The overall quality could be higher imo. For a shot like this i expect a little higher resulution, better light and, I know thats nitpicking, the other fotographer is really disturbing in my eyes and I think this would be avoidable . Sorry... --mathias K 13:26, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Leviathan1983: Ok about the other photographer (I was thinking about retouching myself, but others convinced me, to leave him there) and the optical aberration(it's „just“ a 500€-Lens), but I don't understand why you suggest a „better light“? This interiour shot was done with the available artificial light and reflects the exact situation on location. I neither see the possibility nor the necessity for a different lighting?!

One comment on the resolution complaints: Our guidelines define a minimum of 2Mpx. This photo has more than double of that: 5.5Mpx. Who ever consideres this not to be sufficient, should attempt to change the guidelines, instead of giving contras to single photos. --Martin Kraft (talk) 15:06, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We are used to Diliff's fantastic stitched photographs but this appears to be a single frame from a 10MP camera and is approx 75% width, which is not a large reduction. If the subject were less spectacular, or the framing less precise, the lower resolution would count against it for me. Martin, the 2MP limit is the absolute floor of acceptability (to be breached only if really justified). There is nothing stopping reviewers citing insufficient resolution/sharpness in their opinion for their oppose as we are judging what is the "finest on Commons", rather that what is acceptable. This happens not infrequently for scanned paintings or for panoramas. The "finest" will naturally creep upwards technically. Btw, can people avoid "small" for review comments. I know the intention is to make the text parenthetical but it has accessibility issues. -- Colin (talk) 17:58, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- It's not easy to make this sort of scene look natural. It's tempting to do all the processing in a tone mapping/exposure fusion software, but I often find that it's better to output a very 'flat' tone mapped/fused image, and then do the rest of the post-processing in Lightroom/Photoshop. It's more time consuming and difficult that way, but you end up with better control of how it looks. I'm not sure how you're processing it, but it's worth keeping in mind. :-) Diliff (talk) 09:19, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks for your suggestions. I usually use Photomatix 4 only for exposure fusion. The tonemapping and selective shadow brightening, local white balances,... is done in LR. The function "Merge to 32 Bit HDR" has the disadvantage that ghosts cannot me marked as those. Thus I usually use Photomatix with manual ghost marking and exposure fusion in combination with LR. The detail enhancer method ofter leads to unnatural results - I use it very seldom. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are some issues: the right side is closer to the camera than the left one (horizontal perspective correction needed?), to me it still looks unnatural (but wouldn't make me oppose with this improved version), the closer group of columns on the right is leaning out and there are some noticeable halos, especially 2 people in the middle of the right side.

Neutral I can't oppose this, but I can't support it. I actually went off and did something else for 20 minutes or so and came back for this one ... and it just seems ... unreal, or maybe hyper-real. I can't imagine how difficult it is to get the lighting right, since I've never visited this site, but it looks like a painting that was itself created in a badly lit studio. Details in shadow are (seemingly) impossibly highlighted; every nearby tourist is partially obscured. It feels like a composite; it feels like a manipulation—and, with apologies, I can't seem to get past that. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 06:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Appreciate the constructive comments, and I can understand the desire for more colour/warmth. However, I don't really want to increase the saturation in this case, as the Willow Tit has quite muted plumage, which reflects its habitat (damp scrub/woodland at cool latitudes - it nests in old, rotten tree stumps ), and I think this is captured here.

Comment Think again, my friends. Yes, sunrise is nice, light coming from back could be nice when is compensated by HDR. But this city landscape? I don't think it's the best idea. The only justification could be that in this hour there is no traffic, no people. Don't let the nice sunrise sky and water reflection fool you. Composition is poor. Something on the left side but rather empty, the center part is very busy. Poor details, main object in shadow, dull colours. Most of you and also the author have given these reasons when opposing good images. Now you don't see these flaws. Just think again. Of course you could blame the reflection in biased voting. --194.132.180.242 21:57, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Kikos. I don't understand AK's comment at all. The camera has captured a sharp image on its sensor. Other than that, I can't see anything remarkable about this photograph that justifies even QI never mind FP. One has to do more than point the camera at a bit of landscape. -- Colin (talk) 13:33, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Colin: "Wow" is subjective. ;) I hope you understand that. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 16:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Arctic Kangaroo: , I agree wow is subjective, but I wasn't commenting on your "wow" remark, because at the time you hadn't said anything about wow. Saying this has no flaws and cannot be criticised in any way is, well, ridiculously bold and not true of any picture created by someone on Commons let alone an award winning photo in a national gallery. AK, voting like that just makes people suspect you are playing games. This isn't fair on Christian, who I'm sure would prefer a justifiable level of appreciation from supporters rather than the fawning on show above. -- Colin (talk) 20:20, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think we all understand that wow is subjective but it also has norms. Look at the FP landscape category for images that are within a wide range that could be considered a norm. This falls well outside that norm. It's a fine picture, but very few people are going to go wow! Saffron Blaze (talk) 18:09, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info View of the small village of Moros, province of Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain. The whole village of Moros lies on a hill, with the most relevant buildings in the top (church and former town hall), the residences in the middle and the sheep pens at the bottom. The current population of Moros is 441 people (35% of the population one century ago, that's why many houses are abandoned). The picture is the result of the blend of 3 pictures. It was necessary because the sun (shone on the left) made the clouds very bright, causing an overexposed sky within one frame. All by me, Poc o² 19:21, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DXR, thanks for your feedback. Feel free to add notes, I'll see what I can do Poc o² 10:01, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is a matter of location in the image, but e.g. some of the buildings near the church are a bit soft (like the ruin below) [but well possible that I'm maybe a bit too strict here]. I would just sharpen it a notch overall to give it more crispness, but just my opinion, not a big deal at all at this res. --DXR (talk) 10:47, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I increased the sharpness overall and selective in some areas, looks fine to me, thanks, 11:50, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

weak ~~Oppose~~ Sorry but Imo despite sharpening, the left part are is still not quite sharp and has a low level of detail. Composition and lighting is good, but not outstanding (nothing that sets it apart from a good QI). No wow either.--ArildV (talk) 12:04, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
ArildV, can you please add a note where you miss detail? I cannot see the loss of quality that make you oppose. The weather and lighting were IMHO optimal. The sun was shining to the facades of the interesting side of the village and the shadows, far from disturbing, add perspective and texture to the image. The clouds, that could be shown properly with help of HDR, are a plus to me, as well. Regarding wow, of course, that's a matter of taste. Maybe you think that this kind of scenes are usual in Spain. I am Spaniard and have travelled a lot and I hadn't seen a case of a whole village being fully built up on such a steep hill. Before tooking the picture I walked around the houses and it was pretty crazy. When I took this picture there was big wow for me and I thought that would be even more for others not familiar with old spanish villages. Poc o² 14:05, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Poco_a_poco; after discussing the picture earlier today, I took another look. I'm still not convinced, to me it is almost like you've applied a lot of sharpening on a slightly blurred image. I am aware that I may be wrong, and removed my oppose (and DXR has a point).

I dont doubt your description of the village, abandoned (or partially abandoned places) are often interesting and often have an very interesting story to tell. But an exciting and unique places does not automatically mean that the picture is exciting and unique. For me, this is a very straightforward QI with a good composition, good lighting conditions and good EV. I look forward to see more pictures taken inside the village. I understand the feeling of walking around in the unique village, but I don't feel that feeling when I look at this picture. I dont think I can explain it better.--ArildV (talk) 17:14, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support The dark sky with sunlight on the subject is a good catch, and capturing the whole old village on the hillside makes an interesting composition for me. Whenever I find an image disappointing at 100% for softness or noise, I always pop it into something like IrfanView and reduce it first 75%-original-size then perhaps 50%-original-size with a little sharpening. Here, the 75% size version is still over 11MP and very sharp all over. So I ask myself if an 11MP image offered at FP would have enough wow here. And it does for me here. I'd rather Poco donated his larger image than felt it necessary to heavily downsample to avoid pixel-peeping. -- Colin (talk) 17:26, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Pixel-peeping is a derogatory term, and I dont think it's fair here. The most reviewers (including me) take into account the images size (In other words, you are not alone), it is one of the considerations when reviewing images (downsampling is not a solution, since we take eventual downsampling into account when reviewing the image). By the way, I upload and nominate full-size images.--ArildV (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - ArildV, I think you assume too much of your fellow contributors and you also assume everyone here is as experienced as you with FP expectations and norms. Also, remember my comments aren't just/necessarily pointed at yours. You may well have done as I suggested and still found the image wanting (I can't personally spot any sharpness issues at 75% but perhaps you think then the detail or resolution at 11MP is unexceptional and requires more). But you didn't say you had. So for all the newbies and kids who vote here, are they to read this and assume that pixel peeping is fair game? Because if one reads photography websites it sure is and nothing is desirable less than the latest 36MP A7R with Zeiss glass. Back in the real world, we have lenses mortals can afford, cameras that can only dream of 19MP, heat haze, noise, hand shake, wind... The vast majority of images online are "resized for web" and probably look awful at 100% and Commons is quite unusual in publishing large images for close examination. So you may not need reminding of the dangers of pixel peeping, but in my experience many do. As a newbie reviewer, nothing is easier than opening the image at 100% and finding technical flaws. Oh look, I found some CA in the edges. Far harder and bolder to criticise the composition or lighting, say. Contributors have given up because of pixel peeping complaints at FP and many contributors do downsize heavily to avoid them. I know of no other term than "pixel peeping" to describe an issue apparent only at 100% but that is not felt important for judging. BTW, I don't understand why you struck your oppose. I think your rationale is a valid one and should conclude in you opposing. Be bold! -- Colin (talk) 19:26, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak oppose~~ To me it was not obvious what was the subject of the picture, and even after reading the description I still couldn't say without doubts which building we are talking about. I guess that from that location 70 mm was not enough to stand out the subject. Further I am not sure why you placed it that low and so far to the left, I'd centered it a bit more. Sharpness is good but not outstanding and both sides are leaning out a bit. I imagine that the reason for the chosen shutter speed, low DoF and resulting composition is that you had to be quick (commercial flight?), and I have to say that under that condition the shot is really good but still not a FP to me, sorry. Poc o² 18:32, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in both the description here and on the file page, the image captures both the old national stadium and its replacement (Friends arena) in the same image. I cant at all understand why a different focal length had made a difference, the distance between the stadiums are over one kilometer. For once I dont think your comment make any sence, I can of course center the two stadiums by a further crop but it will just make the both arenas a smaller part of the images and make it harder for you see "which building we are talking about " (what's the point of that?) I can not see any better way to include both stadiums in the same picture, I can not see any photographic tricks that make the stadiums to "stand out" better.

With all due respect Diego, I don't think you take into enough account the image qualities. The image has historical value (the only free aerial image showing both venues), Råsunda is a historic arena (one of the few that has hosted the world cup final in soccer for both men and women), the quality is not bad compared to other aerial FP (especially considering that it covers several square kilometers!), picture could only be taken from a chartered helicopter (if you were lucky and got permission to fly as close to Bromma Airport, and the stadium is demolished today).--ArildV (talk) 19:06, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Arild, I got it wrong. I looks that I didn't read the description carefully and came to the conclusion that the subject was only the stadium in the bottom left corner. Therefore my judge was based on a wrong premise, I take my oppose back and leave it just as a comment. Poc o² 13:51, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Info A few words of the guidelines: Symbolic meaning or relevance Opinion wars can begin here … A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph. Images can be culturally biased by the photographer and/or the observer. The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image (to read more about it), not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations…

Oppose Call me a killjoy but I cannot see what is featureable here. Quality is high (excellent FF camera + ISO 100, 1/320 - no wonder!), but motive and composition are too ordinary for me. I have also problems with the light because nearly the complete ship is in unfortunate shadow (only tiny areas at the nose and on the front parts of the containers receive some light). Motive: If you walk for instance through Hamburg you have much more impressive container ships than this one. You could have made this photo special if more of the surronding context had been visible. As it is here, it is just a (relatively boring) ship in any harbour in any country. A well done documentary photo of a ship but imho no FP, sorry. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:28, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, what is extraordinary to me (feeling like a fragile tiny thing next to a huge container ship which is 50 times bigger that the boat I am in, and looking at the ship from the bottom how it pass by), may be ordinary to you, no problem with that. Regarding the place (Saigon river in Ho Chi Minh City), it may also be ordinary to you but to me it is not what I would call a place around the corner in my home city.

I'm a little concerned about giving so much importance to where the image was taken. Wikimedia Commons is a global project and have a global perspective. It is true that users from Europe (especially Western Europe) are over-represented here, but should it really affect the assessment of the images? Are pictures from Vietnam more exotic and therefore have a bigger wow? Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area is populated by more than 9,000,000 people and Vietnamn have more then 90 million inhabitant (more inhabitants than Berlin and Germany), no remote or difficult to reach location.--ArildV (talk) 10:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think that you didn't focus it the way I mean. Vietnam is not more exotic than Spain globally (but it is, of course, to my person). If we were flooded of high quality pictures from Vietnam then my comment would not be accurate, but right now in the category of Quality images of Vietnam you will only find pictures of Prenn (mostly flowers) and mine. So, although Commons is a global project, a big majority of the photographers and reviewers here come from Europe and America and will more likely be familiar to cities like Berlin, Madrid, Paris or London than Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi or Phnom Penh. To me usually it will have more wow seeing something I haven't ever seen before than something I have seen in person. Poc o² 11:43, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Good quality and high EV but to my perception the subject is not really outstanding. The shadows don't help either (too harsh), probably there are better lighting conditions to shot from that angle. Poco² 18:45, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Motive is a matter of personal taste - for me it is interesting enough. But I strongly disagree with your comment on the light - I imho the large bright sun side of the building and the remarkable smaller shadow side give the building depth which had not been there with complete flat and homogeneous lighting conditions. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:13, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- I believe the subject is fairly interesting and great colours and weather. Sanyambahga (talk) 08:58, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The square crop would work better if it was more centered on the building, here for this composition I think there is too much grass. The shadow at left is also problematic because the blue footbridge catches the eye exactly towards this shadow. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 07:12, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Christian, thanks for the review. I thought for a long time about the crop and decided this way. If you take a closer look on the different shadows of the trees you will see that I tried to use them as frame around the building. IMHO the shadows are not really problematic because the building is well lid and catches enough attention. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:14, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A thing is sure, the image is good and interesting. And I agree in 200 % that a good photographer must try to integrate at his best all the elements which can be disturbing, power lines, cranes, shadows, ect... --Christian Ferrer (talk) 09:13, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I am certainly no fan of powerlines, but these don't detract from the main subject in a substantial way. However, a slight crop on the left, right and top could minimize them even more and improve the overall composition (see note for an approximation).

- Thank you for your opinion. But I think that the current crop is better for this picture - it needs more space anyway. Maybe I'm wrong. --Alex Florstein (talk) 08:10, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Except for the spider web away from the camera, the power lines work for me. The perspective seems to point left, toward where the clouds are "gathering", adding to the mystique (as in, "hey, what's going on over there?!"). My preference would have been to crop out the cars camera-right; that this is a roadway seemed to detract from the romance, as it were. —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 03:12, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
