Info London Bees's Jo Wilson during warm-ups before FA WSL 2 match against Millwall Lionesses match on 15 April 2017. All by KTC -- KTC (talk) 20:03, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- KTC (talk) 20:03, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I really like this and the action of the photo, it brings to mind Zlatan's bicycle kick but I think it would be better to crop the pic to concentrate on Wilson since the players on the left side are a bit distracting and it is also impossible to make a cut there without cutting a person. (~~See crop suggestion)~~ Let's hear what the rest of the folks here has to say. --cart-Talk 20:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support this version, but would be interested to see what a cropped version would look like. Seb26 (talk) 23:13, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now because I'm having trouble considering this a really outstanding photo of this beautiful motif, as I'm not satisfied with the sharpness. Maybe I'm being shallow in some way, but I'm not feeling that wowed. If there were more light on the courtyard, etc., that might make me feel differently (of course I realize that rain and overcast skies are much more typical of English weather). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A lot going on there ... the background competes closely with the subject for the viewer's attention—amd frankly the lead racer's expression just isn't dramatic and emotional enough to overcome that.

Yes, I like the idea of it without the contrail, and we could certainly make a cloned-out version, but that's not enough to offset all the other things about this one. Daniel Case (talk) 01:53, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I prefer this one. The contrail is a bit distracting in the other one, even though it is sharply captured with the plane -- the eye is drawn to the plane, rather than the building or the geometric forms.

Oppose The butterfly+flower is good but the whole picture is quite noisy even at screen-filling size, never mind 100%. However, the bottom right has a large noiseless patch which looks like you've cloned something out. I don't mind that but it needs to be done better than this, with matching noise-texture and colour tones (it is a bit grey and lacking contrast). I think Christian Ferrer has helped Jee with some difficult photos to reduce noise in the background while retaining detail on the butterfly. Perhaps this can be rescued with different processing. -- Colin (talk) 17:28, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Ikan, no sky available. The huts were on a slope beneath the sand dunes and some other houses and boats, just to the right of this. The photo was taken top down from a small observation deck close by and had I made the photo just a little wider it would only included other houses, traffic signs, flags and people.

Much better, thank you. I like this picture and will reflect on whether I consider it an FP, as I haven't decided yet.

Support I agree with Yann. Sure, we could get some well lit photos of this species during daytime in a zoo, but there is definitely a plus to get a good photo of one in its natural habitat and a flash is the only way. The blackness is not a problem either, it's what you usually get at night in a nature reserve and if someone put a camera flash on me while I was busy hunting down my dinner, I would look startled and awkward too. --cart-Talk 09:18, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support J e e 11:07, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Peer Juliancolton and if this period is prolonged, logically, the bird is blinded for an extended moment and is vulnerable to danger as it cannot see well enough to respond to its environment. Many strigids and other nocturnal birds are highly dependent on sight, so a temporary lost of sight might be costly, or even life-threatening (due to depredation). Likewise, a night-bird blinded by the flashes, whether by birder’s torches or photographers flashes, are essentially “wasting” time for foraging and other natural behavior. This might have some ecological implication that we don’t know exist, that directly affects the birds negatively, perhaps in lowered prey capture success, leading to nest failure?, or got killed by arboreal predators.. etc. Having said that, there is still a small chance that the bird may react unexpectedly and hurt itself. IMHO “The subject is more important than the photo” more info --The Photographer 19:46, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support There is no evidence that one or two (close) flashes cause any damage to nocturnal animals' eyesight. This is a nice photo. I would crop at right and ideally leave more room at the top. Charles (talk)

Info Melanitis leda, Common evening brown, is a species of butterfly found flying at dusk. This is wet season form. All by Jkadavoor -- J e e 09:16, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- As the common name suggests this butterfly is active only in evening or in a cloudy environment. During the daytime they rest in the undergrowth and so difficult to get a clear view. This is the first time I get a good photo though chasing them since 2010. And surprisingly this is wet season form though the wet season is just starting. So probably this is from the first batch of this year. J e e 09:16, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also take your points on the challenges of photographing this particular butterfly. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:39, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; the wing is a bit more sharp here (but head not). The hind wings are not firmly closed, demanding more DOF. J e e 11:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I love the Tuscan countryside and have seen the beautiful views from the Rocca in San Gimignano, but this photo isn't really striking me because of the hazy light, the composition, which feels fairly random and not exceptional to me, and maybe the percentage of sky in the photo.

However, I would like to hear from the opposers about what's unbalanced about the composition and what problem there is with the perspective. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:36, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, but it can reach FP quality through a little editing in my opinion. Specifically: Perspective correction, moving the crop up a little, a little bit of brightening and contrast, a tiny white balance adjustments towards blue. The latter part is a matter of taste, but the perspective should definitely be fixed. — Julian H.^✈ 12:12, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Martin, I didn't go for this since, even if I like these long exposures, I like some substance in the water all the same. Like in this. I also followed Partick Smith some years ago and his water pics are usually more "tangible". Here the water looks too strange, like it is evaporating or if there is a methane gas leak nearby.

Daniel Case (talk) 05:05, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment KennyOMG, W.carter, according to the EXIF, the highlights have been recovered as much as is possible. Although red/green values read 0xFF in the JPG, imo it isn't really that important unless there (a) it is reasonable to expect an 8-bit JPG to record that tonal range from ice cave to direct sunlight and (b) there's any interesting detail that has been lost. I think all we have here is some white featureless clouds in that portion, with the sun lighting them behind, and I'd rather they render brightly on my monitor than artificially reduced to paper white in order to have a more acceptable HEX value :-). The EXIF also show the exposure has been lifted considerably, showing that the photographer "exposed for the highlights" as much as they could. The darker cave has possibly been selectively brightened, further raising noise levels. I agree that some noise reduction on the cave (but not the central portion) would improve things. A vertical perspective adjustment of -40 together with a scale of 90 will fix the sloping verticals and retain as much image as possible, though there is some loss of the upper corners as a result. -- Colin (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question - I like the photo, but please discuss the amount of blue in your photo, compared to the grayness of photos by User:Halavar such as File:2014 Erywań, Matenadaran (18).jpg.

Comment We can see colour of the building also in other images. Ikan Kekek has right, there is too much amount of blue in nominated image. --Halavar (talk) 22:10, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Halavar and Ikan Kekek: Changing the WB is not a big deal but sorry, I'm not convinced, that I've to apply it. Different lighting conditions (time, weather, etc.) have a direct influence in the result. I've seen similar pictures with these tones, too. Within a range I think that some deviations among versions should be fine. Poc o² 22:40, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support The Matenadaran is as grey in real life as possible. The other linked picture is extremely warm that's why it's looks more brownish (unrealistically so). I think this image is, if you think nothing else of it, is a good example for images to shoot in the harsh midday sun, especially because grey objects don't care. -- KennyOMG (talk) 22:50, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The lighting is too harsh for what? I find it fine. I think this is the best photo of this motif on Commons (ergo, it should also be a VI). I think it was right to ask the question about the white balance, but it's very possible that the greater amount of blue in the sky accounts for all or most of the difference from Halavar's photos. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:04, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seb26 (talk) 13:55, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seb26, the thing that struck me enough to make me take this photo was how much the wavy reflection of the tree really looked like the way water is often depicted in stylized Japanese prints, not the serenity. Examples: 1 2 3 4. I also realize that these patterns may not be known to everyone so the connection may be lost then.

If it is only GFDL, I believe it may not eligible for FP status according to the guidelines for licensing of FP images.

Mild Support - Irrespective of the results of this nomination, this photo should be nominated for QI and it also looks like a good VI candidate. In terms of this nomination, I've been undecided for a long time, but I think the composition is good enough to support a feature otherwise based on the interest of the motif. These buds look kind of like Brussels sprouts with some red leaves. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:22, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ikan, it is always fascinating to see how things really look when you see them very close up. The photo was nominated at QIC at the same time it was nominated here and it is now a QI. You can always see if a pic has been nominated by scrolling down on the file's page and see under "File usage on Commons". If it is already nominated, 'Commons:Quality images candidates' will appear there even if it hasn't been promoted yet. --cart-Talk 08:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see. But if it has not yet been nominated for VI, it should be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:02, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For a VI, I think the cropped version would be better since it shows the buds better at thumb, this is a more artistic take on the twig. Anyway, I don't do noms for VI anymore since I always seems to get the scope or some other part of the nom wrong. ;) It is a rather confusing section of Commons. --cart-Talk 09:16, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I will make the VI nomination on your behalf. Point taken on the cropped version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:15, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The video is playing for me, and it's very valuable and something I'd usually vote to feature without a second thought.

It's kind of the point of the clock, to be able to see which entry it is pointing at. Here the pointer is positioned over text that is in shadow, and the lack of sharpness at that part of the photo adds to the problem. -- Colin (talk) 14:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Seb26: , the photo was taken in the city of Silao, Guanajuato, at the entrance of an industrial park, called FIPASI. I drive by on my way to work and the scrap is always changing, when I saw this I knew it would be a great shot.

Info The Baptism of Christ is a painting finished around 1475 in the studio of the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea del Verrocchio and generally ascribed to him and his pupil Leonardo da Vinci. Some art historians discern the hands of other members of Verrocchio's workshop in the painting as well. The picture depicts the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist as recorded in the Biblical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The angel to the left is recorded as having been painted by the youthful Leonardo, a fact which has excited so much special comment and mythology, that the importance and value of the picture as a whole and within the œuvre of Verrocchio is often overlooked. Modern critics also attribute much of the landscape in the background and the figure of Christ to Leonardo da Vinci as well All by LivioAndronico ^(talk) 21:03, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mile I do not understand what you are talking about. Make examples or make notes, so generic reviews are not very useful.

Comment - You're right. I've struck my support vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ikan Kekek If you are not sure of something not to do it, you often change your mind, honestly if you do not vote (positively of course) my photos, I would feel lighter. Of course you can oppose when you want, but in favor it would be best to avoid so you do not take the risk of changing your mind because of your insecurity, thank you.--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 19:02, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I owe an explanation for striking my support vote. The reason is obvious from the context. It feels a little strange to be asked not to support your photos if I feel like doing so. I'm not inclined to accede to such a request. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:09, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are free to vote,but if you're not convinced, as is often the case, stumble ... it's a tip--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 09:39, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's very simple: I liked the picture, but when it was pointed out that it was missing a part of the top, I saw that. It has nothing to do with not being convinced: I simply hadn't noticed that the picture wasn't complete until that was pointed out. So what's your tip? To notice everything the first time or to ignore information I hadn't noticed if someone points it out? Either way, thanks but no thanks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:13, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Thanks Ikan for this nom. As mentioned in fr:Indosylvirana urbis, it is a small frog, having only 30-40mm long. It was described in 2014 and found only in three districts of Kerala so far. It is known that frogs use plants and mushrooms as shelters in rain. I found this beauty in the morning after a heavy rain in night.

Support Important on its own, & the added bonus of Frederick Douglass's name listed in the meeting prospectus (3rd down in 1st column) is really great too. Daphne Lantier 08:00, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Although I think the work may be worthy of FP status, I think this nomination may be a little bit rushed with regards to our file page for the work. I will do some more research on the work to find its true author (it was certainly not the printing place) and adapt the caption which has been copied verbatim from the auction page (not appropriate copyright wise). For others' reference, I found this work in OhioLink and a somewhat similar reproduction(?) on Library of Congress. Could the hunt continue still for a higher resolution, or is this version from the auction website sufficient? Seb26 (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support now, I continued some of the above points on File talk:Men of Color Civil War Recruitment Broadside 1863.png. Seb26 (talk) 14:46, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Wouldn't it be better for us to wait for resolution of these problems before featuring this broadside? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:21, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I initially thought so, and I did think it was poor that it was nominated with attribution given to the printer's press. But in the state that the file page is in now, after my changes with a proper author according to a reference and a more appropriate description, I believe it is good to go. As for the resolution issue: the OhioLink version I mentioned above... the resolution appears to be slightly lower, and the scan (to me) looks of lower quality, it is not quite as focused and sharp as our current version. (It sort of goes against what I am used to expecting...that libraries and commons have higher resolution works than random online websites, but alas the physical broadside itself is being sold privately so it follows.) What are others' thoughts? Seb26 (talk) 18:07, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If it's clear the broadside was composed by Frederick Douglass, that's great, and I certainly Support featuring this important historical document. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:26, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On Commons I haven´t found any possibility to annotate panoramics like this suitable. As I know, the ordinary annotations are only working in a preview.

Oppose I don't think the tree trunk is a very effective part of the composition; it's kind of just there, but doesn't make any kind of statement. I think including more of the trunk would be better, or otherwise not include it at all. Some flowers are also slightly blurred due to the wind; movement can be great if deliberate, but here it is merely a distraction and a faster speed would have been better. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:05, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm more or less where Famberhorst is on this picture. I like the tree trunk being part of the picture. My problem with it is that I would like a little more DoF. I guess I can find a couple of bluebells that are fairly sharp from top to bottom, but my personal preference would be for there to be a few more.

- Info dear Colin but the darkness is meant to be during the shot because if I did not do that the sky would be overexposed ... lot of my photos was rejected due to clouds overexposed so this time i divided the job so I can correct it after ... the only thing I did is i decreased highlights an whiteness and improved the shadow ... this is not overprocessing and my monitor is OK --IssamBarhoumi (talk) 21:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - According to the EXIF, the following adjustments have been made in Lightroom: Parametric Darks +31; Parametric Lights -49; Parametric Highlights +54; Sharpen Edge Masking +100; Luminance Noise Reduction Detail +50; Color Noise Reduction Detail +50; Contrast +17; Highlights -100; Shadows +81; Whites -100; Blacks +89; Clarity +36. I have rarely seen so many and such extreme levels adjustments made to an image. The EXIF information isn't perfect evidence since it is often lost/removed during the editing process, particularly if several programs are used, but here is seems to be intact. You can't just whack those sliders left and right all over the place. From looking at the raw file, it was fine out-of-camera and only needed minimal adjustments. Certainly there was no issue with blown white clouds.

Support I like the textures and the shapes in the photo. The nature of B&W is very well handled and it looks almost like one of the copper plate etchings of yesteryears. Of course it can be "documentary", that word does not have to imply doom and gloom. This is "documentary" in the sense that it has captured an ordinary thing, the man can be on a visit to the monastery for many reasons. He might be carrying that bag with a gift for his fiance waiting for him in he monastery where they will be getting engaged or something. In any case, I hope he is happy. --cart-Talk 11:57, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I tend to agree with cart, but I'm not sure I like how this was exposed/developed/edited. To me this looks more like "black and grey", or technically speaking there's nothing going on in the right hand fifth of the histogram. But maybe this was done on purpose to make it look dark and gloomy? Then more fog/clouds would be nice. I don't totally dig the composition, it kind of makes me want to turn the camera a bit to the left. Not sure about this on yet … --El Grafo (talk) 16:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mild Oppose - I have a lot of trouble deciding on this nomination. If the colors were more vivid or perhaps the light were a bit more intense, I might feel impelled to vote for a feature. More pinpoint focus at full size could help sway me, too. But I guess if someone put a gun to my head and demanded a decision, I'd go with "not outstanding enough to feature", whereupon my mild opposition.

Comment I am concerned the artwork on the wall forms a major part of the picture, and may be subject to copyright. Also the walls, doors, etc seem very curved. -- Colin (talk) 20:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

About the artwork on the wall, it's a permanent exposition and pages from Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (English: Brazilian Natural History), originally written in Latin, is the first scientific book about Brazil, written by Dutch naturalist Willem Piso and published in 1648 (PD-old). Also, I applied a barrel distortion fix, let me know if it's ok for you. Thanks --The Photographer 11:57, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Glad the artwork is ok. However, it is just too wonky and the left side appears to have some copy/paste cloning going on above the lift door. There's barely a straight line. I'd be ok with that if this was a fisheye lens but I'm not sure what we're seeing here. The red clothes and legs is also distracting. I'm suspecting this is a stiched-handheld photo, and you really need to get that pano head to do this to FP standard. -- Colin (talk) 13:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a striched image and I haven't a fisheye lens. BTW Yes, I will buy that nodal ninja this year, however, I'm asking for somebody that only will travel in six months --The Photographer 13:42, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support - It's a very good and appealing composition, IMO. Colin's concerns about copyright are well taken, but I don't know how or whether they should be addressed at FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Ikan I don't think it generally should be extensively discussed at FP, but I think that images with any doubt might be worth getting checked at DR before nominating here. Our "finest" work does have to genuinely be free. -- Colin (talk) 08:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. But since it's already nominated here, I think the recourse is the same, anyway: A nomination at DR. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would think this would be kept in a DR as per COM:DM. The stairs are the focus with the walls of images being incidental and unavoidable where the stairs don't block them. None of the pictures on the wall is big enough to extract a workable copy. They may also be PD-old-XX as The Photographer states below. Daphne Lantier 02:51, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I have to Oppose barring a substantial improvement in the stitching. If you compare the old and new versions superimposed on each other, you see that only part of the image has been modified, suggesting that it was corrected manually, which is error-prone. There is now a kink in the curve of the ceiling, which doesn't seem to have been there in reality. Meanwhile, the curved pictures on the right are still not fixed. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:30, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to define three things. 1) The striched image was handmade as well 2) The paintings on the wall are not aligned because severals artworks have a different size from the others. 3) With respect to reality, only a lens 50 mm FF should show a "human view like it's reality", a striched image is a human creation impossible to see through the eyes because the vision angle (wide) and because the distortion. Thanks for your comments, for me this kind of technical comments are very important to me and I respect them a lot. I promise to take them into account as much as possible --The Photographer 11:39, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate it is hard, and I've spent many hours myself trying to fix up handheld stitched interiors, and had my failures too (Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Foreign and Commonwealth Office - Durbar Court.jpg). The standard for interiors is pretty high at FP. This is also challenging subject as it appears to be quite a small space. -- Colin (talk) 12:07, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your result is excellent and I think that with a corners distortion fix it could be improved. It is difficult for me to give an opinion especially because I consider you superior in knowledge in these subjects, however, btw the problem is barrel distortion, when pulling in a very wide amount of information from off axis, light gets distorted based on how extreme of an angle it is coming in at because the lens can't completely correct for how far off the lens axis the light is. Line bending is just a characteristic of lenses that wide- and many people use them to achieve that effect. It becomes a problem when one uses them to accommodate smaller APS-C sensors: if one goes wide enough to get the compositon one needs, it often results in unwanted distortion. In your case, my sugestion is reshape with Photoshop's liquify tool or Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin but this requires a great deal of skill and time. You can see a example on this original and the result, in this case Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin --The Photographer 12:35, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I make sure I turn on Lightroom's "Lens profile correction" before exporting files for stitching. That should mean any lens distortion is extremely low for all my lenses other than the fisheye. Remaining distortion is then the result of the projection chosen. But with handheld panos (or where a proper calibrated panoramic head isn't used) then the parallax errors add their own distortions as the algorithms assume the frames are all taken from a source point. Using SmartBlend is better at hiding these but sometimes the errors are so large that the stitching program makes the scene too distorted. I don't think liquify is the best solution, and the edit made to this file seems too crude and not really fixing the problem. I'll look at your snow pictures later. Another solution, for small rooms, is to abandon attempting a flat image but take a 360° panorama that one can move about it. Not sure your bank would be happy with that, though :-). -- Colin (talk) 12:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nicely posed, but noisy. Not just in the background, but on the birds itself. Daniel Case (talk) 05:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Daniel. There's also some obtrusive unsharp foreground that I find distracting, and I have a preference for at least what the bird is immediately standing on looking realistic, though others wouldn't care. I think the bird is not that far from FP quality, as it is pretty sharp throughout, though noisy. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:07, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I uploaded a new version with noise reduction and a slight crop to achieve a cleaner foreground. Personally I tend not to bother with noise too much on high resolution images as you barely zoom in 1:1 where it becomes obvious & you loose a bit of sharpeness. C-M (talk) 06:36, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not ready to support this photo for FP, but I've struck my opposing vote. I've seen clearer birds at FPC, but this is a large file for a bird photo, it's a nice bird, and I like that we can see its body from its head to its feet. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:09, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not sharp enough compared to e.g. File:Common Redshank Tringa totanus.jpg. I'm surprised at the noise levels as ISO 560 shouldn't be that high for a D500, but I see from the EXIF that the exposure has been lifted 1.4ev and a +25 dehaze is a lot and that does tend to add lots of noise. Maybe more luck in brighter light conditions. Btw, CM, most folk support their own picture nominations. You're posting here, so we assume you think it FP. -- Colin (talk) 11:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I had an other go with the Lightroom Sliders which reduced the noise an other time (less EV+, bit of Highlight, no Dehaze, less sharpening) Compared to the existing picture: The light situation is definitively not compareable, my picture has been taken about half an hour before sunset which gives more muted contrasts and softer shaddows, something I prefer over strong daylight. I could probably have gotten more sharpness by going to F8 with a higher ISO, but that would have increased the noise even further. In terms of texture I prefer my feathers, the existing picture has a strange effect where only the tips are sharp and everything else looks rather mushy - any Ideas how that happened? To much denoise with masking on strong edges? Anyway: I highliy appreciate your comments as they give an other perspective, I only started taking bird photography more seriously very recently and still learn and try to improve my technique. C-M (talk) 19:59, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm no bird expert. Try User:Charlesjsharp for advice on technique as he's nominated quite a few. I agree the light may be photogenically better at this hour (I do like the colours and composition and action, per Yann, which often is lacking in our "bird species identification" photos), but it is also a problem wrt achieving a low noise / fast shutter. I find high noise can really reduce the sharpness when one is looking closely (though absolutely fine for small "for the web" sized images). But so can using a lens wide-open or having too slow a shutter. It is not easy to balance these. I presume your lens has OIS, though from my experience (and from reviews) that seems to increase one's chances of a sharp-enough image rather than being reliable, so taking many shots could improve your chances of a sharp image. If the bird is fast moving, 1/500s might not be fast enough. The two pictures aren't completely comparable, though I downsized yours a little to make a farer comparison, and the other one still looked sharper. Sharpness isn't everything, if you have a great image, and in the past many of our bird photos were heavily downsized, which hides these flaws. Btw, best to ping me if you reply as I don't always re-look at nominations I've voted on. -- Colin (talk) 11:18, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Others know much more about processing than I do, though it is clear than NR has reduced definition on this image. I'm surprised you have tried 1/500 with a 600mm lens without a tripod. That and F5.6 are going to make life difficult. When I'm lying on the ground, I find it difficult to keep the camera super still, even with it resting on something and always use IS lenses. Evening light can look great, but it will cost you several stops. For mammals, evening light works well, but for a bird portrait, you are not going to get such a good result. The ISO setting is not the problem here - up to ISO800 should be fine. Charles (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Daniel; Also, this photograph has a very low resolution (1,024 × 681 pixels), and despite it being from 2005, the significant clipping around the sun, among other factors, don't make up for it. Sorry. WClarke 23:03, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, it is smaller than the minimum size of 2 megapixels. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I looked at the original Flickr page for the file and the original resolution was 3008x2000. However back in 2007 it seems the 1024px version was uploaded to Commons. I have added this higher resolution now and removed the FP close so that those that voted can reconsider based on other factors. I personally feel the composition is quite good and that the subject is something important to feature, but I get the feeling this shot could be done...better... seb26 (talk) 00:35, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Now that it's big enough, I oppose it based on the weird-shaped sun-blowout area that feels to me like a picture of a nova, the strange greenish blotch some way to its left and higher, and because it has to compete in Category:Sunsets, one of the strongest on Commons, though admittedly, also in Category:Wind farms, which is not nearly so strong. However, I would suggest at least two pictures of wind turbines at sunset with neater compositions than this one: File:Bạc Liêu windpower farm.jpg, although its FP nomination didn't succeed and I voted against, and File:Zwei WKA auf der Neutscher Höhe.JPG, which I don't think would pass here, either, but is pretty simple in basic conception. So, essentially per Daniel. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:16, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Blue hour view of the Constanța Casino, a casino located directly in front of the Black Sea in Constanța, Romania. The building, listed as historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, is considered a symbol of the city and it was built in Art Nouveau style according to the plans of Daniel Renard and inaugurated in August 1910.

Diego, several folks have objected to the strong yellow light on the facade of the casino building. My assumption is that there is one or more strong yellow light source(s) we don't see, but I think it would be good for you to address this directly. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Poco a poco: The sky is too bright in relation to the lights of the ships in behind. That´s why the whole appears unrealistic.--Ermell (talk) 20:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Diego, unlike Ermell, I don't have expertise in how much light ships use at what time of night. The photo looks good to me, but since there's been so much controversy about the yellow light, I'd feel more confident in voting to support if you would explain where the yellow light was coming from. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:22, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've uploaded a new version after adjusting curves and WB but this is rather a kind of tapping in the darkness. Alchemist-hp there is no issue with the HDR processin as the brighest frame looks simnilar to the final result. Ikan the only lighting I can think of was from the building in front of it, an aquarium, I was standing on its roof (please, don't tell anybody, I don't think that I was supposed to do that...).

Oppose A lovely scene, yes, but too noisy in the background (As I've said before, when drones can start carrying DSLRs or something equivalent, then we will see some really great pictures from them here). Daniel Case (talk) 21:39, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: It's most noticeable in the background ... sort of looks like it was shot through applesauce or something like that. Daniel Case (talk) 05:02, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I see what you're talking about, but since it's the background, it doesn't bother me that much. Maybe I'm wrong; we'll see how other people vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:07, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Indeed a beautiful composition, but for me too noisy for a FP --Michielverbeek (talk) 05:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not saying that this image necessarily is a FP, but I find it stunning that people would seriously oppose a 30+ MP aerial photo because of noise issues. Imo this really reflects an excessive focus on technicals and judging images at 1:1 regardless of pixel count, when most users of this picture would only ever notice this turning this picture into a large poster. --DXR (talk) 07:38, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per other supporters --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:16, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree with DXR, this is not more noisy than some of the the night FPs we have here. The curve of the river offsets the strange pointy mountains in a nice way. It can seems strange that we accept noise in night photos because of technical limitations, but not in aerial photos due to other technical limitations. Btw (sidebar), the development of drone photography seems not to lie in making bigger drones to carry larger cameras, but rather going the other way. New drones are smaller but with better software. They can be programmed to fly in grid patterns, taking lots of images that are stitched together into panoramas. There is also the technique where a host of small drones fly in formation and are synced to perform tasks such as compiling photos into a large image, (or just looking pretty). --cart-Talk 09:21, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose OK, so I've thought about this for a while now. The technical quality is fine for me, good enough for a pretty large print. I like the composition, totally agree with Cart here. But somehow I'm still not really wow-ed by the over-all picture. It looks kind of bland to me, and I've got a suspicion that the same composition could work much better had it been taken at a different time of day, a different day, or a different season.

Support per others, very good but Question what is the f number? I don't see it in the EXIFs? Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:50, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Christian it was taken with a "Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC" which has no electronic coupling to the camera and doesn't even have an automatic aperture. I can't remember what I set it to. Perhaps f/8 (which would be similar DoF to f/11 on your full frame). -- Colin (talk) 18:07, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - oh ok, surprising, this seems to be a much smaller DoF, I do not say that it is wrong, it is even very successful Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 20:42, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Christian, I found some shots I took wide open and the shutter speed is 3 stops higher, so this must be f/5.6. The lens at 135mm on my camera is equivalent to 200mm on a full frame, so the DoF will be small. I think the telephoto has helped to compress the perspective. -- Colin (talk) 06:39, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I (mis?)understand that you consider this entire category of photographs unfeaturable, regardless of composition, but my observation would be that whereas the photo you linked has a random composition to my eyes (I hope it's not insulting to say that, as it does have some very good qualities, including the way shades of light are captured on the leaves), in this photo, the trees all appear to meet in the middle, where there is a narrow space of sky. So I would submit that the composition of this photo is vastly superior, which might make your comparison nearly irrelevant except to anyone who agrees with you(? sorry if I've misunderstood) that a view looking up to the sky amidst the trees is per se unfeaturable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Just a little hint concerning perspective geometry: If you look along the direction of parallel objects, they can't do anything but appear to meet in infinity - in the so called 'vanishing point'. Nonetheless: it needs someone to see and picture it. --PtrQs (talk) 23:05, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and they have to be there. I do know a bit about vanishing points, as my father was a painter and a professor and lecturer of some note. Perspective was never my strong point, though. I understand the arabesque, and I understand foreshortening, but I couldn't make the kinds of geometric perspective diagrams my father did with his hands in front of a painting we were looking at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:08, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry it is beautiful, but the quality leaves something to be desired. There is traces of red CA in the branches top left, most of the photo seems a little overprocessed especially the right side and all the leaning things on the right side should have had some perspective correction, that is easy to see when there are built structures there plus a guy on a bench. --cart-Talk 20:27, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Strange and unnatural light for me as well. -- Pofka (talk) 11:40, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Question - Is the light really that strange? You all are photographers who look closely at light all the time, so I have to respect your reactions, but I find them surprising because I feel like I've seen and experienced light like this on some cloudy days. I think there must be some unusual issue in the white balance that's putting you all off and not fazing me at all. But I feel like it can't be that far off, or it would bother me, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The lighting and composition don't work for me. The cloud covering most of the left side and extending 2/3 of the way to the right interacts poorly with the tree branches at the left in my opinion. It would also be better if the scene were brighter overall (in terms of the quality of light; this is not something that can be fixed by brightening the image in post). To answer Ikan's point, I think the problem is that shadows were pushed too much; I think the scene looked darker in reality. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:53, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Photographer, I've added a note on the photo (I'll remove it later). Up here in the north we actually do a lot of car racing on the frozen lakes. Here is a drone film of some cars having a bit of fun on a Swedish lake. There are also organized races and the big car manufacturers come here every winter to test their new car models, this is big business here for many small towns.

Painful oppose Very mystical and extraordinary picture, but the quality questions me as well... I would immediately oppose any other picture of such quality and noise. What surprises me more is that it was taken with a really solid Mark III. Huge pity. -- Pofka (talk) 11:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In addition to the quality issues noted, I would like to see it with that top arch cropped out ... those fragments are distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 14:19, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I never understood this "do-not-cut-into-x" thing. On this pic it flows naturally, and not having the whole frame makes it more intimate, like somehow you're "in it". Imho. -- KennyOMG (talk) 15:04, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See Colin's !vote below. For me, maybe it's because I'm as tall as I am, but seeing things like that hanging just over the view line almost makes me duck so I won't bang my head into them ... Daniel Case (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It's a great bridge and very photogenic. The photo has been heavily processed, with sharpening halos and a noisy sky resulting from this. Also the crop is not optimal IMO, with the upper bars distracting the eye from the tunnel effect (it's supposed to be like a mine tunnel). The image is also taken off centre, yet the middle of the tunnel/bridge is central so it looks off. I uploaded a crop with some NR applied: File:High Trestle Trail Bridge, Madrid, Iowa, United States (Unsplash F9o7u-CnDJk) CropNR.jpg, but there's no way to undo some of the issues with the processing without the raw file. -- Colin (talk) 17:07, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, Pokéfan95, FPC is usually counted by a bot, so please only support/oppose nominations that are actually formally proposed, and also please avoid anything other than the standard "Support"/"s", "Oppose"/"o" (plus "Cmt" and "Neutral") templates (you can add a parameter to them to include alternative text such as "weak support") as the bot only counts the two main voting templates and they count fully regardless of whether your vote is strong or weak. -- Colin (talk) 09:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Fæ, we don't see you in this section very often, do you know about the practice of making an alt-nomination? Several users have asked for it. If not, see this for an example or just ask for help and we'll fix it for you. --cart-Talk 09:29, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Per earlier discussions on talk-FPC on "alternatives", it is up to the nominator Fæ to agree to adding or to propose any alternatives in their nomination. For example, the nominator may feel the original is best, so isn't required to have their nomination confused by alternatives if they don't wish it. Failing that, the other images can be nominated later if there is support for it. -- Colin (talk) 09:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Pangong Tso, Tibetan for "high grassland lake", is a lake in the Himalayas situated at a height of about 4,350 m. It is 134 km long and extends from India to China. Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies in China. The lake is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide at its broadest point. All together it covers 604 km2. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. All by KennyOMG -- KennyOMG (talk) 09:29, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's unsharp because there's no way (save for a pinhole) to get everything in focus on a full frame 30cm-infinity. -- KennyOMG (talk) 12:14, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so that was the wrong question. The real question is: Why didn't you crop out the unsharp parts of the foreground, and why not do it now? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:51, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because I don't agree with KoH's "compositionally unnecessary" point. ;) In any case you can just crop it in an editing program to see if it looks better to you or not, takes all of 10 seconds. -- KennyOMG (talk) 13:18, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It takes less time than that to simply put my fingers on the screen. I don't see what is harmed by cropping out some of the water. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:42, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what that would improve, in fact it would unbalance the comp with the sky crushing the lake - which would be ironic considering the lake is the important thing here. -- KennyOMG (talk) 00:34, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You really could afford to crop at least some of the foreground. But it's your decision, and I surely won't rescind my support vote if you don't. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon me for barging in here, but please don't crop. Even if some of the foreground is a bit unsharp, looking at the "bigger picture" there are several waves there that perfectly emulates the shapes of the mountains, but in dark colors not light. They create a counterpoint in the lower section of the image of what's going on in the upper part even if they are not as sharp as the rest. Without them the photo becomes unbalanced. --cart-Talk 09:40, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This is in Sao Paulo, where protests might have been much more peaceful. By the way, I think that limits the historical importance of the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:06, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Take pictures in Venezuela protest in Venezuela was the more dangerous that I did in my life. At my side were friends who worked for the major news agencies with bulletproof vest and helmets with a marked green cross. I totally agree that these photos do not have the historical value that a photo in Venezuela at the moment, these protests outside of Venezuela are made around the world every day at the same time as part of international pressure to open a humanitarian channel and thus send medicine and food. BTW, this photo is on Paulista Avenue, the most important avenue in Brazil, there has been protesting for 50 days, it is possible without any danger in Brazil because it is a democratic country. I am doing paperwork to solve a problem with my passport so I can take photos of what is happening there and visit my family after four years. --The Photographer 11:49, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you KennyOMG, but this isn't a new crop, it's a new image that I took one month later. It's almost the full image, so it can't be cropped towards the valley. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:09, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That's it, you're right: there have been two issues, the interesting clouds and the somewhat monotone foreground. You can have a look at the B&W version. Maybe you'd prefer that crop? --Basotxerri (talk) 18:42, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Lizarraga - Saratsa - Paisaje 01.jpg is the black & white version, and I prefer that picture, not mainly because of the crop but mainly because the entire appearance makes more of an impact on me. I think part of my reaction is that the lighted white rocks are more emphasized in gray scale. Of course it's a tradeoff, because you sacrifice the greenery, but I'd support a substitution of the black & white picture in this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:39, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Phimeanakas temple in Angkor Thom, former Khmer Empire, today Cambodia. The Khleang-style Hindu temple was built at the end of the 10th century, during the reign of Rajendravarman (from 941-968), then completed by Suryavarman I (who reigned from 1006 to 1050) in the shape of a three tier pyramid.

Oppose The composition is too busy. I think with a telephoto, you're trying to isolate: either the subject is so far from the background that you can put it entirely out of focus, or you can zoom in on a single element in the background, undisturbed by anything else. What doesn't work for me here is the flattening of the perspective such that the background is just as prominent as the ship. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:05, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Nice light, very crisp and detailed, eye-catching colors of the the vessel in the foreground. I find it funny that the typeface used for the "No Smoking" warning is comparable in size to the letters used for the ship name. But KOH has a point wrt to the composition and the clutter there is in it. Thus, I cannot fully support. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:50, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry to be a party-pooper. It is a very nice scene, but it is lacking in quality. The light is too harsh and it looks like it has been subjected to too much noise reduction resulting in loss of detail. When I looked at the EXIF to find out what might explain this, since with good light such as this, these problems should not be there. Seeing that it is taken with an iPhone explained a lot.

Info From one of my favorite places in the Thy National Park, by the North Sea coast in Denmark, there are still examples of beached fishing vessels. This one shows the rudder and propeller of the wooden hulled vessel Maagen (the gull) built in 1935. A vessel. which is still actively used for leisure angling for cod. I like the texture of the paint of the rudder, the galvanic anode used to protect it from corrosion and the special construction of the hull, which allows the vessel to be towed onto the beach without damaging the propeller and rudder.

This photo was taken in Saint Petersburg on May 19, 2017 during a walk along the Universitetskaya Embankment. A pigeon is sitting near the Egyptian Sphinx, which is about 3500 years old and was brought to St. Petersburg from Luxor (Thebes). Inscriptions at the stone (see photo) were never decrypted. -- Chan-Fan 22:19, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
Support -- Chan-Fan 22:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose - I fixed the category: It's Columba livia, the Latin name for the rock dove; the family Columbidae is too wide a category. And I oppose because although you have a good motif, I find this picture inferior to FP pigeon portraits such as File:Pigeon portrait 4861.jpg, which is a head-and-neck shot, File:Rock Pigeon Columba livia.jpg and File:Fonte Gaia - she wolf detail.jpg, which focuses on the Lupa Senese on the Fonte Gaia as much as on the pigeon. In this photo, the Sphinx is a nice background element but not the subject; it's merely what the pigeon is sitting on. The pigeon is pretty, but the parts of him (?) we see are mostly in shadow and come out as noisy/unsharp at full size. Granted, full size is a lot bigger in your photo than in the other ones I'm comparing it to. But in general, we like our bird portraits very clear at FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but do you have additional information on this, e.g. when tis was painted? --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:17, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Info The romanesque nave of the Brunswick Cathedral was built between 1173 and 1226. After many additions over the centuries, the original paintings from the middle of the 13th century were rediscovered in 1845. As the conservators in these days felt free to complete missing parts in a historism way, not all the paintings are in their original status. A more detailed description you will find at Braunschweiger Dom Saecco-Malereien (germ.).

Further famous artefacts in this cathedral are a Seven-armed Candelabrum of 4,80m and the Imervard Cross, both from the second half of the 12th century.

The pictured painting in the crossing shows the celestial Jerusalem.

Nowadays there are intentions to place a second organ in the crossing. If this should happen, the days of seeing the full paintings of crossing and transept will be gone ... --PtrQs (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Виктор Габышев, in case you are using Google Translate, "CAs" are "chromatic aberrations".

+1 to that.

If Виктор Габышев would like to substitute your version, he can, but we haven't heard from him in this thread. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:21, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  - Not all scenes can produce a featured picture; if it's the case that those particular rocks are never well-lit, then they should not be included in the foreground of any composition. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:02, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Not ideal ... the background looks sort of flattened and the light-green trees just left of center seem posterized.

Info Lake Bracciano (Italian: Lago di Bracciano) is a lake of volcanic origin in the Italian region of Lazio, 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Rome. It is the second largest lake in the region (second only to Lake Bolsena) and one of the major lakes of Italy. It has a circular perimeter of approximately 32 km (20 mi). Its inflow is from precipitation runoff and percolation, and from underground springs, and its outflow is the Arrone.The lake owes its origin to intense volcanic activity from 600,000 to 40,000 years before present, which created many small volcanoes in the Sabatino territory. The main magma chamber was situated under the present lake of Bracciano. Its collapse created the caldera now occupied by the lake, which is a crater lake. Some small craters are still recognisable around the lake and in the immediate vicinity.The lake is an important tourist attraction situated near Rome. As it serves as a drinking water reservoir for the city of Rome it has been under control since 1986 in order to avoid pollution of its waters. The use of motorboats is strictly forbidden (exceptions being made for a few professional fisherman and the authorities), and a centralised sewer system has been built for all the bordering towns in order to avoid any spoiling of the water quality. This makes Bracciano one of the cleanest lakes of Italy. The absence of motorized navigation (apart from police boats) favours sailing, canoeing and swimming.In the last few years the lake and its surroundings have been brought under further protection by the creation of a regional park, the Parco Regionale del complesso lacuale di Bracciano Martignano.Under Pope Paul V, water was brought from Lake Bracciano to the Trastevere region of Rome and (via the Ponte Sisto) to the Rione of Regola.

Oppose Image could potentially have educational or encyclopedic value, but IMO the foreground is not bright enough, as the sunlight is obstructed, making the colors duller. Along with that, the ground on the left side of the image either appears to not be level, or is distorted when compared to the right side. Sorry. WClarke 03:19, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I really like the rhythm of this composition, and it's also poignant, as we see the damage to the graveyard, I'm guessing from the time the Nazis must have knocked the gravestones over. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:38, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info During the more than three centuries in which it was in active use, the cemetery continually struggled with the lack of space. Piety and respect for the deceased ancestors does not allow the Jews to abolish old graves. For this reason, twelve layers of graves now exist, giving the cemetery the shape of a flat hill. As new levels were added it was necessary either to lay over the gravestones associated with the older (and lower) graves to protect them, or else to elevate the stones to the new, higher surface. --Uoaei1 (talk) 10:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
