I guess this is the first time an image doesn't get its well-deserved support because of too high resolution... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's a first time for everything. Even resolution can be excessive. If you want to show something, crashing all but the most well-endowed computers does not help. Kleuske (talk) 10:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For featured pictures more detail is better. If you need a smaller version you can use the previews or request someone to make a smaller version that doesn't freeze your computer. --Pine 07:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Night view of the Macau Science Center, Macau, China.
 Comment You're forgetting that, like Hong Kong, Macau is a Special Autonomous Region of China, retaining (among other things) its own currency, customs and laws—including copyright. HK and mainland China have different FoP provisions, with attribution not required in the former. I don't know if Macau is different (they may have retained Portugal's), but they do not use Chinese copyright law yet. Daniel Case (talk) 15:07, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Centennial Hall in Wrocław
I agree that fussing about blown specular highlights is often mistaken, but brick/stone/concrete doesn't produce specular highlights -- you need something mirror smooth like metal or water to get specular highlights. I think more subtle processing could save the detail while still producing a bold image. It is clearly not straight-from-camera (there's very little EXIF data, so some program has removed it) so I hope the creator can rework it. Colin (talk) 22:42, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Life study by the artist and film producer Sasha Kargaltsev. Part of Kargaltsev's widely respected series giving an insight into New York gay life. Kargaltsev is one of the rare professional artists to publish all his works on a free licence. This photograph was chosen as Fæ's 999,999th edit to Wikimedia Commons.
  •  Comment I have replaced the image with a link. I have no problem with such works on Commons or being reviewed for FP but a general forum like FPC should remain "safe for work" (or safe for viewing while my in-laws are visiting!). I appreciate the lack of image makes the nomination harder-work but hope you understand. Not everyone here is reviewing images in the privacy of their own study, and could face significant embarrassment or even disciplinary action for viewing this. -- Colin (talk) 17:09, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for that. I got a bit of start when I was on a break at work and saw this come in through the corporate firewall. Saffron Blaze (talk) 18:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow Colin, what's embarassing on an art nude photo, furthermore on one in a thumbnail view? Imo, you're exaggerating. --A.Savin 19:38, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would appreciate a bit of feedback on what images are to be censored in FPC candidate discussion as there ought to be an unambiguous definition that I can comply with. Nudity itself is not really "NSFW" in my view, this was a life study image, and an obviously gay one, but not a sexually explicit image or even an erotic one in my view. Thanks -- (talk) 19:51, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please avoid the C-word; this is not an issue of censorship and that word leads to a polarised mentality in discussions. Flickr offer some advice: "If you would hesitate to show your photos or videos to a child, your mum, or Uncle Bob" and "A good rule of thumb is, bare breasts and bottoms are "moderate." Full frontal nudity is "restricted."". I'd rate both the "moderate" and "restricted" Flickr categories as needing a link rather than preview image. This image is full-frontal nudity even if the intention is not in your opinion sexual or erotic. It is hard to give an "unambiguous definition" but if there is doubt, I think a link should be used instead. In the UK, imo, viewing such images in a professional open-plan office can lead to disciplinary actions (misuse of company facilities, sexual harassment in the workplace), as well as considerable embarrassment. A.Savin, if you think I am exaggerating then you need to read a UK employee handbook (the scope of "misuse of company facilities" is often worded extremely widely and the sentence for this "crime" can be as severe as instant dismissal). Perhaps you don't work in a mixed-sex open-plan professional office environment in a country like the UK? This isn't a "thumbnail" like on QI, but about 5x5 inches. One can get away with more nudity in a historical fine-art painting than in a photograph -- there's a considerable a social-attitude difference even if you believe there isn't a rational one. -- Colin (talk) 22:27, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A few simple points, from someone who happens to be the most active contributor to Wikimedia Commons this month:
  1. "Censorship" is not the C-word, you appear to be trying to create a parody here where even the concept of what might be censorship is as offensive to discuss as the word "cunt". We have an extremely clear section in one of our most important policies on this project, Commons:Project scope#Censorship. This photograph is not offensive sexual material in anyone's book. Thank you for your concern for my family, but my mother would not be in the least bit offended by this life study shot of a gay couple that is more romantic than erotic. If you are offended by it, I'm afraid that is your problem, not Wikimedia Commons' problem to hide it from you or your mum.
  2. It is not your job to hide content on Commons on the basis of what you personally think might be NSFW or not, based on rules that you are making up as you go along. If you think Commons should have a policy of hiding explicitly homosexual content or nude content then I suggest you run an RFC so that the Community can decide whether your ideas about censorship represent everyone else. Until you do manage to establish a community consensus for this type of censorship, I am restoring this photo to this discussion rather than allowing special rules on this discussion that exist nowhere else on Commons. Your personal opinions may be interesting, but do not have the power to overturn guidelines established by the community.
  3. Commons is not Flickr, quoting their policies here to justify your action in censoring this image is no justification.
  4. Commons has images of dead people, sex education content, nude women and images of highly offensive political and defamatory propaganda. If you work in an office environment where policies for internet access are so restrictive that you might get dismissed, then you probably should not randomly surf the internet at all. It is not within Commons' scope or any guidelines to comply with arbitrary policies that companies may have made up or may vary on a day to day basis, but are neither a national law, nor practical for this project.
Thanks -- (talk) 22:45, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to have confused Commons hosting guidelines with the wishes of those participating at FPC -- the community at FPC can set their own guidelines wrt what material should be hidden from immediate display in that forum. I'm disappointed you are edit-warring over this without establishing consensus for change. You also seem to be confusing my personal opinions with those of my personnel department at work, views I have no control over and who do not have to conform to the kind of morality views at Commons yet have a rather large influence on my pay packet each month. If FPC is NSFW then I cannot and shall not participate. Goodbye. Colin (talk) 23:08, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rubbish, boldly making a single edit to restore the discussion to comply with the norms of this project is not edit-warring. Neither have I "confused" the guidelines. If there are to be special rules for FPC that do not apply anywhere else on Commons, then you need to establish them as agreed with the community rather than dictating them on the community. As for your morality, you are most welcome to hold your views and discuss them here, but please do not assume that your morals are superior. Thanks -- (talk) 23:14, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you are a UK office employee and you believe to endanger your job by watching FPC page as well as any other Wikimedia page on a computer in your office, you probably should avoid Wikimedia projects entirely while surfing on Internet at work. Wikimedia projects have for a good reason a purely educational purpose, there were already "worse" things (remember Vulva on WP Main Page?), we on Commons have also explicit pornographic images, so there were plenty of discusions on child protection, image filter etc., but fortunately none of them have been succesfull so far. Yes, in some countries you might lose your job, in some other countries maybe also your freedom or even your life (because there are still lots of backward barbaric countries in the world, even nor, in 2013); maybe also because of much more harmless pictures; but still, it is not Commons' job to safe you from such risks. Its only job is: hosting freely licensed educational content. --A.Savin 23:58, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Colin, seriously, get back to work, I am sure that your employer isn't paying you to be surfing the net, and even more sure that they are not paying you to argue on the internet. Also, I think you are coming across as a little high and mighty when you talk of the "FPC community", or is it that FPC in your mind is the feifdom of a few closed off entirely to the evil outsiders? Sorry, but we are all members of the same community, so Fae's suggestion of an RFC on the issue is a sound one. russavia (talk) 23:59, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So we leave a crap image on display, that is obviously not going to succeed as FP given the community's standards, just to spite people that have concerns as to when and where it gets displayed? Brilliant. Saffron Blaze (talk) 01:46, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the body of Kargaltsev's works are related to his gay life, however he has made some studies of non-gay subjects such as this nude portrait of a heterosexual couple which I doubt would be suppressed due to arbitrary claims of being NSFW. I would be surprised if all of his artwork was considered "crap" by the community and I would be interested to know if alternative gay related photographs published on Commons under Category:Files from Sasha Kargaltsev Flickr stream that feature nude or semi-nude gay men would also be subject to censorship if I nominate them here. -- (talk) 08:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • How do we know this heterosexual couple is heterosexual? Are they a couple at all? Nothing on the flickr site would allude to these assertions as being fact. Actually the commentary in the description would lead me to think otherwise, albeit in a rather humorous way. Regardless, it is all irrelevant. The nominated image is of an exceedingly poor technical quality that it is appalling you nominated it. Moreover, your desire to make it a test case should not trump accepted FPC practices. The fact that you persist in throwing around the censorship card speaks clearly to your motives not Colin's. However, let me assure you I would have objected to any image on FPC that displayed full frontal human nudity. Not because I am prude, but rather because I would like to exercise control of what gets displayed on my screen beyond a certain limit as a courtesy to those around me and out of respect for the terms of acceptable use I often commit to, to use various venues of Internet access. Saffron Blaze (talk) 03:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: no more reasonable chance of success now (only one support vote, by the nominator, and six oppose), and above all technically below of the standard qualities for a FP (Blurry, unsharp) --Jebulon (talk) 17:51, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
    • I have contested this early close even though we have seen only opposes. In line with the FPC General rules I would prefer this to run for the minimum normal time. An early close such as Jebulon has proposed would appear to be a way of mollifying the move to suppress this image as NSFW and is the sole current subject case example to support a current RFC about this type of censorship. Thanks -- (talk) 18:08, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Fae, I've reverted your edit as the image is indeed not FP quality, with little chance of passing. I understand and share your concerns, especially as it relates to people who should be working trying to censor the project, but seriously this is not the image to use to have such a discussion that you wish to have. russavia (talk) 18:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question May I move this per General rules: 9.

    • Thanks for your interest. I guess the modifications that you are suggesting, will represent an alternate lightning situation than what was really present at the time of capture. Nonetheless, it would be interesting to see the re-worked image. I suggest, instead of creating a new version of this image, you upload your rework as a new derivative file/work (with source as this image) and also put that as an alternative in the nomination. That way, users can review both and make their assessments. --Dey.sandip (talk) 10:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I had not denied that it is the natural habitat. But from a photographic viewpoint the background is unfortunate. If the brown area had filled the complete background or if the whole body of the bird had been over the rock it had been much better. The way it is now the rocks (or whatever it is) cut the wings of the bird. It is the same as you cut a (human) head by a horizon line - a no-go for portayal shots. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:01, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1869 rare photograph of female impersonators.

  •  Support -- (talk) 11:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very interesting and unusual. The restoration is good, but could be better (stil many dustspots). OK, the size is obviously too small, and does not fit with the rules. But the subject, the encyclopedical and historical values are strong mitigating circumstances to me (my choice). Any chance we could get a higher resolution version ?--Jebulon (talk) 16:44, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • In terms of resolution, this is probably the best there is, considering that the original was used in a book and a magazine and having my own copies of both, they appear no better than this version. I will try emailing the Essex Record Office that published the image and see if they can advise. I can take another look at my photoshop version to remove more dust, I limited myself to larger defects and decided not to crop the original, as I was cautious of not over-restoring the image as this might reduce the sense of age. I can upload a more "worked" version as a separate image, perhaps tomorrow, though I would still avoid touching what appear to be lines on the original produced by the chemical process (noticeably in the upper left) rather than later dust or scratches. -- (talk) 16:54, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • The Essex website says "Fred Spalding" as author. You write "Spaulding". Who is right ?--Jebulon (talk) 17:11, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Spalding is right. I have corrected to "Frederick Spalding" as this is what Neil McKenna uses in his book for several illustration plates.
        • BTW, this photo which the Essex Record Office published on their blog, has been cropped down slightly from an original full scan, which I have only seen in much lower resolution (uploaded here). Most of the removed border is either very badly damaged or irrelevant (such as sticky tape on what might be a mounting card), however if we can get the full sized original this may be useful as a reference image on Commons. I'll see what is possible over the next couple of days. -- (talk) 17:37, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          Email sent to the ERO asking for higher resolution images and suggesting we discuss a longer term project. (talk) 13:42, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • You know what ? I've found some informations about this story (i.e., the trial) in contemporary (1870) french newspapers ! Really interesting. Btw, you may use this picture in illustrating the enwp article...--Jebulon (talk) 17:43, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • I thought it was astonishing that in newspaper illustrations of the time, they were shown as attending the trial in full drag. If only legal trials today were so exciting. -- (talk) 17:53, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note I have uploaded a sightly more restored version today. The changes are to remove some more dust marks per Jebulon's suggestion. I would be happy to split this out from the file history if preferred, though the changes appear too minor to my eye. -- (talk) 14:22, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Update—I have had an email back from the Essex Record Office, definitely a no-go. They don't understand why Wikimedia did not ask permission to use this (1869) photograph and are proposing a £50 "usage" fee, which then limits use strictly for non-commercial research, kindly supplying me with a standard form to fill in which includes a clear declaration that I accept that I would be liable for infringement of their copyright if I used it, or shared it, for any other purpose. It is unclear whether purchasing a version of the image would be any better than the one we have and if I did then share it, I would be breaking the contract terms imposed on purchase.
I will sit on the email for a few days and ponder if there is any value in replying, pointing out that their form is legally meaningless and that is why it cannot be used. (By the way, the £50 would actually be paid to Essex County Council, which is of course already funded by the public purse. If anyone has contacts in the Council, we might want to contact them to point out how their policies actively work against the public benefit.) -- (talk) 17:31, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If we're going to accept a smaller image, all efforts to get a bigger one must have failed first, and there must be strong reason to believe that getting a larger copy of this, or any similar image, would be impossible in any reasonable timeframe. Neither of those criteria are met yet.
In the end, we need to be detached. I think that we can all agree that combating systemic bias means we want more historical LGBTX images, but we shouldn't settle, and thus make it look like the problem has been solved. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:42, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I mentioned above that I emailed the Essex Record Office. When I get any response then I'll leave an update. If they can provide a higher resolution scan they may still not be happy with my intention to publish it as unrestricted, or they may want a reproduction fee, which I might be able to arrange. In the meantime Fanny and Stella has been created with a selection of lower resolution scans that were released by The Guardian and uploaded yesterday. -- (talk) 22:55, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But Fæ, you didn't wait for the response. Your heart's in the right place, but, if the point is to add LGBT images to FP, may I point out that the decadent art movement of the late 19th century did a lot of boundaries-pushing work. It's hard to get now, but should be available. In addition, Tijuana bibles might be a possibility - published in the US without a copyright notice before - I think 1977, could be wrong - is enough to put it into Public Domain. There's plenty of possibilities that don't require special pleading. 86.161.10.101 23:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

* Support -- The historical significance and drama engender the wow I value here at FPC. Saffron Blaze (talk) 03:42, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per Adam and Commons talk:Featured picture candidates/Archive 13#Trying to understand Commons FPC At 0.84 MP this would by a wide margin be the smallest historical FP I can find and far far below the typical standard. I see no mitigating factors for making an exception here. Examine the historical photographs at Commons:Featured pictures/People and Commons:Featured pictures/Historical for comparison. This is not among the finest. As Adam notes, it can be celebrated at VI. If it illustrated an article then it may succeed at WP:FP. -- Colin (talk) 08:28, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ Colin : Please, remember that many of us here in "Commons" do not care about (and don't know) what happens in en:wp...
  • @ Adam: We have what we have. If, in the future, we have a larger or better version, then we should nominate it and delist this one. Don't say that it encourages the search to end, because it is not true (see my two more recent nominations (for instance) in VIC: previous photographs of my candidates existed, and I continue to search)...
  • I don't support this picture because of an assumed need of LGBT pictures in FP list (we have already at least designs by Niabot in japanese style, for instance). I support this picture because it is nice and interesting, and historicaly very valuable and rare, per Saffron Blaze. The point cannot be "to add LGBT images to FP", because this should be using "Commons" in an activist (and therefore non neutral) way.
  • For the record, I don't care about the sexual life of anybody, here and anywhere.--Jebulon (talk) 15:04, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I merely mention WP:FP to indicate that are more ways of celebrating valuable content that just COM:FP, lest anyone think this is the only forum that counts. I don't think "we have what we have" is a valid argument for FP -- there are lots of categories of image where what we have isn't even good never mind excellent. Should we promote the multitude of tiny 640x480 Geograph images of buildings pending something better? The "best of this particular subject" is more a VI thing. Our purpose at FP is to feature the finest images on Commons, and among the category of historical images, this one is a long way below the standard of its peers. But I respect your different opinion. Colin (talk) 15:28, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm happy to support something if it's genuinely impossible to get better. However, that requires the research to have already been done on getting better. As it is, there just isn't sufficient reason, and, frankly, this is why Valued images exists: to celebrate images not quite good enough for FP, but valuable nonetheless. Given we have Valued Images, I don't think this is near enough the resolution expected to make an exception, nor has the possibility of getting a larger version been exhausted. I have many images I've restored but would never think of suggesting for FPC of around this size. It's painful, sometimes, to know something that's good in everything but reproduction quality just isn't good enough in that to reasonably be an FP. But, sometimes, it's true.

              • LOL, I'm probably one of the best negotiators with GLAMs that WMUK ever had, and as a past Chairman of the organization and being part of the team that created the charity, I know how this works. The question really is whether the ERO is the best use of our limited resources when the starting position is not them coming to us trying to release material for the public benefit (plenty are, the bottleneck is a shortage of unpaid volunteers who have the time and skills to work with them); it would probably need me to follow up with their main archivist or go via Essex County Council in order to get policy changed. Either way this is not as simple as asking again at the same level, as the front line people are just going to follow legal policy and any GLAM that has to ask their legal department for advice is going to take a long time (like a year) to make any changes and this does not always mean a useful free licence for the highest resolution media, based on our past experiences. -- (talk) 07:15, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  I withdraw my nomination Having had a couple of days to think about it, I am increasingly unhappy with the nature of discussion on this page and personal comments about my motivation elsewhere. When nominating this rare photograph from 1869, which I originally uploaded in July without any thought of Featured pictures, I had presumed that "Above all, be polite" would extend to not making slurs against the nominator. Comments of particular concern are:
    • "special pleading" — I am not on trial for a crime, I do not feel the need to plead a case.
    • The point cannot be "to add LGBT images to FP", because this should be using "Commons" in an activist (and therefore non neutral) way. — I proposed this image due to its historic and cultural value, yes this may help address a lack of LGBT cultural images in FP, I did not expect my viewpoint or any that appear later with LGBT subject material, to be marginalized as gay activism. If the LGBT community at some point nominate a heap of FP quality images, I expect this to be welcomed and encouraged rather treated with scepticism.
Thanks to reviewers supporting this photograph, but I would rather it pass based on a mellow discussion about its merits rather than on a review spotted with pointed jibes on the record at my expense. Not worth it. (talk) 19:39, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You've done nothing but make unjustified slurs against the reviewers here. Good riddance I say. Colin (talk) 21:24, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Currently this nomination has 7 supports, 2 oppose so on the edge of being featured. I've no problem with pointy nominations and withdrawing on half way; but withdrawing a nomination having enough supports can be considered as an act of disrespect to the reviewers. The one oppose is from Adam Cuerden, who is considered as the best restorer here; so it can be considered as a great advice for a starter. If I behave like this way, I have no wonder, if people start neglecting my nominations without any comments/reviews. JKadavoor Jee 03:02, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I spend a large amount of time volunteering for Commons for the public benefit. I do not do this so that the images can be used as a means to make bad faith allegations, or to be marginalised as a gay activist just because a tiny proportion of my interests relate to the LGBT community. My experience over the last week has convinced me that FPC has problems with being effectively a closed club, remaining unwelcoming to newcomers and fails to implement its behavioural guideline to be polite, something I don't see happening here or elsewhere when it comes to anyone that dares to question the way the club works. Jkadavoor, thanks for encouraging this rare photograph to get nominated, however I really wish I had not bothered. Let's close this nomination with Colin's comment which right now feels like it epitomizes the daily breathtakingly bad faith allegations I have had since trying to take part, and will indelibly colour how I see this process, "good riddance". -- (talk) 06:12, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks, any way I'm closing this respecting your decision to withdraw. JKadavoor Jee 06:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • For those interested in the Fanny & Stella story, it is worth getting Neil McKenna's book from the library, my husband happened to have a copy in his collection. I am sure there are both featured pictures and articles that could come from this material, however I'm going to put this aside myself so I can forget how unpleasant this experience has been.

Not to be misunderstood, I like this picture, but there are some double standards on Commons.

I agree that technical merit alone is insufficient -- the subject has to be attractive/engaging, though here we all have very varied tastes.

✓ Fatto Barrel distorsion corrected --Pava (talk) 15:31, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I want to remember that the subject of the photo is the car, it is true that the context makes her, in this case in fact (although I really like the background) I want to emphasize that those buildings, sober and white, and the blue sky clear, make a great neutral background for the car, do not look away from it and not take away the attention. The reader is not distracted by something else. Great visual impact--Pava (talk) 23:07, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are right that the background is relatively neutral regarding color but not regarding form. The background is also quite strong dominated by very clear lines and rectangular forms. IMHO such a shot can only work if there is an interply of forms in the background with the car. In the case here I see no such interply thus my impression is that the background is distracting. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:57, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nearly excellent. I think if the background was the right-hand-side (white building with two small windows, corrugated roof, blue sky) it would have been wonderful. But the entrance is very distracting. The building appears to be a public toilet, a feature that could have had comic or contrasting effect, but hasn't been exploited so instead looks unfortunate.

wau wau, for this picture I took one days holiday, I drove 400km, climbed a tunnel and wait for the good light for 2 hours. That it is so miserable, I would not have thought so. I think I'm going to go there again ... :-( --Böhringer (talk) 20:54, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is far from being bad. Please do NOT consider to withdraw but wait for further opinions. IMHO some minor technical issues are overrated here. E.g. channel clipping is at least in the case here a pure technical issue - I guess no one could see it without a look on the RGB histogram. For me this shot is extraordinary good and the required effort underlines this. Point of view highly depend on the environmental conditions and is imho (already without your background information) also very good. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
There are many strategies for doing photography insect . I can describe the history of this picture. The equipment is described in part. For this I use the flash Nikon SB- r1c1 flash kit. Honestly this is the most essential point. Without this type of flash I had never worked in the past my bug pictures . I even use it with the sun. I abandoned the monopod that can not be very responsive. The focus is fixed ( another very important point). It's approaching that time of the outbreak is selected . Here , the animal is of bias. the selected point is the midpoint of the animal, the base of the wings . As seen net , then shoot. Do not be afraid to close the aperture for sharpness zones front and rear. For most insects you are entitled to one image after the flash they leave. We must therefore do a lot , a lot of luck and a lot of patience.
By doing here you will get good photographs of insects, and a nice elbow tendinitis. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 10:13, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you VERY much for your in-detail information. As far as I have understood you correctly you did not use a monopod or tripod, but the Trap focus technique, right? In the past I've already thought about the macro flash kit from Nikon but could not really assess how good it is - seems to be worth a buy :) --Tuxyso (talk) 10:41, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Jack.belk How do I make it svg?
 Comment Svg format is fundamentally important because a PNG can not be translated. An svg file facilitating the translation process or modification of the image. My recomendation is download Inkscape Software or export to svg from illustrator. If you need help in instalation procedure or with Inkscape, please write me in my talk page. --The Photographer (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SVG is a very useful free format. It can be easily edited and corrected, can have infinite resolution. I expect to hear more arguments instead of saying "this does not work". thanks --The Photographer (talk) 12:40, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Para usar SVG yo necesito programas especiales. Yo no piedo usar esto formato. Photoshop, AutoCAD, 3DStudio no sé este formato. --Ralf Roleček 20:15, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I think you're a little confused. A simple example, try to edit a text SVG with Inkscape, now try to edit a PNG text which is imposible.SVG is a free format and no need to buy a program like 3D Studio or any of thousands of dollars in order to edit this. Display an SVG does not need a special program, just a web browser like Firefox can display SVG. It would be good for you to read the advantages of a vector image. The most important and obvious plus point of vector images is their power of scalability. If you try to enlarge a bitmap image, your computer can only enlarge the size of the squares making up the image area. That is why bitmap images get jagged as you enlarge them. However on the other hand the vector images remain smooth because your computer merely re-computes the coordinates of the points and adjusts the vector equation constants. Each set of lines in a vector image represent separate and distinct objects. therefore every object can be re-edited at any time. For example, let’s say you created a vector art file with a circle in the background. You could open the drawing file at any time – even days later – and change the circle to a square. Another very important reason of using vector images instead of bitmaps is their size. Vector images are much smaller in size than the bitmap image format. Thanks for responding --The Photographer (talk) 20:26, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yo trabajo desde mas de 20 anos con imagenes de vectoriales, estos son mejores, si. Per no el formato SVG por que los programas professionales no se secundar este formato. --Ralf Roleček 20:51, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think is a bit obvious but you do know you can open and edit a SVG file in all those programs you mentioned right? But you can not upload any file create by those programs to commons because those file formats are not supported in commons, SVG is the only vector format allowed and not only that, SVG is the format recomended for "diagrams, charts, illustrations, maps, and graphics of all kinds that need labels" in which category this image is a great example. The Photographer (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In none of the programs can read or open SVG. And that is the reason for my counterpoint, a file that I can not open, is worthless to me. --Ralf Roleček 15:53, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think at this point there will not continue to insist on explaining obvious things. Open SVG in Phosothop , Open SVG in 3dMax, SVG to DXF (AutoCad) --The Photographer (talk) 16:41, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose no light nor the composition doesn't impress me and the tourists are not helping out in any way --Vamps (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • You can (negatively) review my photos for objective reasons - no problem, but calling this photo a "nice holiday snapshot" sound like an affront (as it would be for every other Commons photographer who spends a lot of time in good and well-composed photos) to me. Have you ever closely looked at the photo and got the idea of the composition? If you take a look into the appropriate Commons category you will find no other photo of this motive which compares to this one. Sorry, but at the moment I am a bit miffed about the wording "nice holiday snapshot" --Tuxyso (talk) 22:01, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Alex Florstein (talk) 09:07, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I find here the same problems like with the shot in San Diego: no clear subject to me, the composition is not really applealing and the people IMHO are rather disturbing if you aimed to shot a nice nature-centered Yosemite picture. Poco2 11:51, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have also shots from the same position without people. But National Parks are build for people and for me they belong to National Park like animals and nature. I really like integrating people into landscape photos especially in the case when there are viewpoints which are only build for this species. At this point a lot of people stoped walking through the very cold Merced River and made nice photos with the river and the beautiful nature all around. The motive is the Merced River with people in Yosemite Valley with impressive rock formations in the background. It is surely a question of personal photographic style but e.g. this photo had not been that good without people. In the case here without people there is imho something missing. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:16, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination This image is obviously not eye-catching enough. I will try another one. Nonetheless thanks for the reviews and hints so far. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:06, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. For me the higher viewpoint I've nominated here is more interesting. Photos are always a matter of personal taste... The intersting part of FPC is that one gets an impression how photos are perceived by others. Oneself has a tendendy to develop a "tunnel vision" towards own work. Although unsuccessful FPCs are disappointing I learn again and again new aspects about the perception of my photos. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:57, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't think the lighting and composition work here. The Shard is backlit for no good reason, and the dark foreground does not help. --King of 03:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment -- We use to say that one picture is worth one thousand words. Well, it didn't work this time. My purpose was not (obviously) to produce an illustrative image of The Shard but to transmit the feeling of contrast that I got in this particular place at this particular time. A contrast between an old, and somehow somber area of the city (almost sinister, as I see it here), and the bright and ethereal modern tower. If I wished to make an encyclopaedic image I would have chosen another light and another angle. Artsy material is also part of Commons, even when the creators don't have much talent. Btw, I like the airplace track very much. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:26, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • While I don't think this one worked, I fully agree with you trying to "make" a picture rather than just "take" a picture of something, and to transmit feelings. I recommend you make your comment when nominating rather than leave others to guess intentions. See my Russell Institute pic below as an example. London is difficult to photograph for buildings, especially those that want "perspective correction" for everything. It so busy and cramped to get back enough to shoot. The City has some nice old buildings (e.g. churches) crammed in among the skyscrapers. -- Colin (talk) 15:58, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support As I child, I was frightened of this building, which was actually a child health clinic. The sculptures by Archibald Dawson are rather creepy. A huge guardian angel with twin babies; a sombre mother and her naked children; and the little boys along the sides all have various ailments. Plus fierce lions. I hope it scares you too. -- Colin (talk) 18:01, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment You kept 3 little boys along the sides on the right and on the left, ok it's good but you loses the effect of a symmetry, the mother and the huge guardien are too much on the left and it's disturbing, so IMO you need to crop at right or you take the same shot from a better position, however good job! -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:26, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I know what you mean, but I think I was straight-on to the front of the building. The building itself is not symmetrical. See Google or Bing for a satellite view. -- Colin (talk) 18:38, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A test nomination to check the working of Nsfw template. NSFWTAG
Yes; now it is working! Thank God (and you too). JKadavoor Jee 11:33, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. It isn't working for me. I can see the HTML has the required element now but I don't get the butterfly hidden. The source for the gadget is MediaWiki:Gadget-DeferredDisplay.js. -- Colin (talk) 11:42, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see the problem, the code is testing for the page == "Commons:Featured_picture_candidates". It only works for that page. It needs to work for the "Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/candidate list" page too, as well as the actual candidate page. Really anything beginning with "Commons:Featured_picture_candidate". Also it doesn't interact well with the Beta Media Viewer as clicking launches the media viewer overlay rather than uncovers the image in-place. Also the image does appear briefly before being covered up. So I think the implementation of this gadget is not quite ready. -- Colin (talk) 11:46, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is working for me with and without "beta features" enabled, although some unfriendliness with media viewer as you said. Currently it is working only on the main FPC page; not in individual review page. So we have to see it if any plan to comment. Do we need it there too? Anyway Dschwen will hopefully look into it. JKadavoor Jee 11:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
With the beta, I can't get the image uncovered. It remains with the warning symbol, though the image overlay feature of the beta works. So I think there are a few bugs.
  • Fix gadget so it tests if url contains "Featured_picture_candidate", this would pick up the FPC talk pages as well as sub pages where the nominations live.
  • Fix nsfw template so it works on images that aren't thumbs or in galleries.
  • Fix gadget so the image doesn't briefly appear.
  • Improve interaction with beta media viewer. Perhaps rather than display an image at all, we just need a box with text and some links.
  • Change replacement warning icon so that it is clear why the image is covered up. I favour some text like "This image has been hidden by the Deferred Display gadget since it is tagged NSFW. Click to display." -- Colin (talk) 12:51, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Gallery tags removed; hope Dschwen will check here. JKadavoor Jee 16:49, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some may be aware I have prepared an actual NSFW nomination; however, I will wait a bit longer until we are certain this gadget works as intended (it appears to work with the transcluded page too now). Perhaps a discussion on the talk page regarding a guideline when to use and a warning at the top of this page (recommended to me by Colin) is warranted too. Saffron Blaze (talk) 22:25, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now it is working fine for me in my Chrome 31.0.1650.57 m too; everything as desired, hiding again when the page refreshed. Thanks Dschwen. Saffron, we can expand the documentation and guidelines, but it seems ready to test you nomination, now. :) (I will be away for a week; so feel free to remove this nomination, when the testing is over. Have an eye on the FPCBot too; especially on the log page.) JKadavoor Jee 03:13, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's more the color yellow of the cloud than the exposition the problem, the work that you have done for the entire image is not bad except for the cloud witch seem burning like a lamp. And maybe the cloud is not overexposed but it look like on the last version --Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. I will take a closer look in the evening, at the moment it looks OK to me. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:02, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done I've moderately considered Ivar's and Christian's observations. Iifar: You cannot expect a 100% crisp image because there was some foggy air inside the Canyon which make the mood special here. But I've moderately decrased detail contrast and worked on sharpening problems at the Colorado river. Christian, I reduced some orange colors on the bright clouds - imho slightly better than before. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:37, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: its resolution is far below 2 megapixels. Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way.

House at the bridge.
I suspect that might not be a great solution, though I haven't used Lightroom 5 yet (got LR4) Best to avoid using IrfanView for image editing. I'd be happy to fix it for you as I think that might make all the difference here. The building is still slightly off-vertical (irfanview is useful for using its rubberband selection as a vertical rule). Did you do the perspective mod in Lightroom? Did you apply any lens correction first. Worth tweaking a tiny bit more to see if you can get the verticals perfect. If you can export as a 16-bit sRGB tiff and put it on Dropbox or some equivalent file-sending website, and send me a link by email, then I'll fix the sky and send you a tiff back for you to import to Lightroom. And if you have any higher resolution still, that's always a bonus. Colin (talk) 12:09, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fresh look, no doubt, but that doesn't automatically make it an FP. So is this photo about the place or the sandstone? You said one thing up top and another thing down here.

It is about the place. If it would be only about the sandstone, then only the sandstone would be on the image. And summer is by far a better time to capture the sandstone there due to better light contitions. Kruusamägi (talk) 12:51, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Much too small. Pictures should be over 2 millions pixels for FPC. Please read Commons:Featured picture candidates. Yann (talk) 19:24, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
