SHORT DESCRIPTION
Hmm, you usually provide much more details in your nomination. 11th century? Looks very recently renovated. I see now that it is historically interesting, but I maintain it isn't photographically interesting. It's a very simple building shot in hard direct light. I think File:San Juan de Busa, Oliván, Huesca, España, 2015-01-07, DD 24.JPG is better and I'd probably support that on the grounds that the blue sky and snowy mountains add to the image and composition. With this nomination, the fence and two shrubs are fighting for attention. -- Colin (talk) 09:49, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Colin, I didn't provide much information because I'm travelling and this time I really had to optimize the weight (as I had to wear it for many kilomeyers on St James's Way), so I didn't take my laptop and editing here with a smartphone is really (at least to me) a pain in the ass... Regarding the fence the idea is that those lines guide to the subject, rather than distract of it. Poco2 17:28, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not agree with you. Amazing, in my opinion. I have no doubt that occur because my name is not one, I find no other possible justification. Thanks.
es: Los arbustos de la derecha equilibran la imagen, no estorban, aportan equilibrio. Que la parte izquierda carezca de interés para usted es algo que por mi parte es mejor que quede sin comentar: ¿sabe usted lo que es el contraste de espacios y de colores?--Lmbuga (talk) 20:23, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Sorry I don't understand that language.) I think composition is very subjective, I prefer without pine trees on the right side, that's my opinion and just my opinion so do not worry I always get opposing to my comments --Laitche (talk) 20:48, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You say this "Nice colors but agree with sting about the composition and the pine trees on the right side are disturbing", but (es:) sting criticaba el lado izquierdo: ¿De que habla usted? ¿Cree usted que se comporta con seriedad? ¿Como se suma a una crítica diciendo algo que no tiene nada que ver? USTED HABLA DEL LADO CONTRARIO AL QUE HABLA STING: SERIOUS, PLEASE--Lmbuga (talk) 21:22, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, with respect, I do not agree. But I'm not one for you--Lmbuga (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • A good rule of composition in landscape photography (of course, it's not carved in stone): foreground subject, second plan (here the beach) and background (here the mountain). Here your foreground is occupied by regularly set dry grass, not eye-catching and at the limit of DoF, particularly at the left. The pine trees are set at the sides and get lost... or are too present; I'm undecided about their status. The right one, like Laitche wrote (and that's why I was talking about PoV), is invading and hiding the beach but hasn't force enough to get above the horizon; that's why I don't think it balances the composition. And about contrast of colors and spaces, right. But your foreground lacks color and is a prominent mass of undistinguishable grass taking too much space compared to what you want to show as the subject of the image. I don't know the place but my recommendation, if you allow me, would be to go a few steps to the right and closer to these pine trees in order to give them a reasonable height to counterbalance the mountain and set them as foreground subject, at the right. Mountain at the half left, getting rid of the left pine trees (or the pine trees at the left and the mountain at the center-right, depending how you can set the composition to show the beach). A lower sun, with more appealing light may also help. Your image is nice but a bit too common in my opinion. Hope this helps. Sting (talk) 21:44, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • PS: and don't be so worried about your language or your “name”. ;-)
  • PS2: When I vote or comment here, I try – at least – to be constructive [with arguments] (edit) and transmit my little experience/knowledge for the photographer better his work. It isn't always well accepted [and I may be wrong] (edit), but that's part of the deal. And on the other hand, if one nominator here expects only praises about his work, well, imo he's in the wrong place because it's about voting here, that means accepting hearing about pros and cons, which should lead to a bettering of the work (again, my opinion). If it's only about promotion, barnstars, medals and self-promotion, I suggest to turn towards the social networks.
Too many words (unable to read, sorry). Do you know someone than can translate it. Imposible understand it to me. Sorry. (I'm sure that this is not a mutiligual proyect: It's a English covert proyect)--Lmbuga (talk) 22:01, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Não entendo o que você quer dizer com "as palavras não tem assinatura". Os "PS" e "PS2" (para "post scriptum") são eu que escrevi. Mas acho melhor deixar esta conversa aí. Boa noite. Sting (talk) 22:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  I withdraw my nomination Eu não quero continuar a falar sobre isso: eu não sou nada. --Lmbuga (talk) 22:57, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • "PS" é para "post scriptum", quer dizer "[nota] depois da assinatura". É por isso que não assinei novamente e que coloquei ao mesmo nível que o texto principal. Não vejo qual outro texto não tem assinatura. Aliás, não vejo qual o problema de entendimento das frazes, mesmo sem assinatura. Sting (talk) 23:07, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just a final (and personal) comment/consideration: imho, FPC is not only about promoting (or rejecting) one picture, but also in bettering the taking of the photograph, eventually with new shots. What else would be the point of an argumented opposing vote? (not the first time writing this, but well, I see it needs to be repeated...) Sting (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment You could probably provide more light on the dark parts, but the "mood of a sunset" is here IMO, see the light in the windows. A bit les dark, and you'll get my support (but not to the alternative cropped version...)--Jebulon (talk) 20:34, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It's really dark, and it seems to be a recurring thing in your photo. So either it's ur mood, and we'll have to respect that, or it's your monitor :) Either way, I think you intended to have only the glasses standing out from the reflection of the sunset (which is very beautiful). But the reflection should be brighter IMO because we're still talking about sunset. My 2 cents :) And yes, I too think this works better with the wider framing. - Benh (talk) 21:25, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • ✓ Done CA removed, beware of thin sticks which are parallel to vertical sticks on windows, at quick look might be mistaken for CA. As for sharpening lines - you will have to show me. Since no sharpening was done, other way around - walls were denoised. For coat of arms, families are clearly readable, some other information about them I didnt see. They are in all hall, but hall is gothic and very asymmetric, since I know how conservative people here are if they don't see symmetric or straight line I went to this one. --Mile (talk) 11:02, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral It's an interesting composition (I think it's a fisheye again) but IMO, the noise reduction on your pictureS (yes an S) is a bit too heavy. - Benh (talk) 10:01, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Benh lens is mentioned in category, Samyang, and no other would do such in single shot. PicutreS ?... I haven't used NR till Samyang (with some exceptions), which gave some more noise in edges of photos (especially if they are underexposed). Here, walls were denoised, not frescoes. Comapare it with 1st version. Lens is sharp. --Mile (talk) 10:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC) p.S. Set at sweet spot of Samyang: f/5.6 and focus distance dot minor back from ∞[reply]
  • Thanks. I don't think everyone could tell this is a fisheye at first glance, unless they know the place (couldn't add a link to a 360° view of it, but a quick Google takes us there). As for noise, I like when surfaces retain their textures, which I don't feel is the case here. Still a good shot. - Benh (talk) 19:39, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
 Comment Because of your view in terms of the background and the arrangement of the blossoms a picture of this plant could hardly get a FP. This is its natural look and environment I want to show. Also there is blurriness neither by noise reduction nor by compression(?). Certainly using F2,8 would be sharper than F16 but then I wouldn't have achieved enough DOF for this blossom cluster. The bright spots is the sky shining through the higher vegetation in the evening. The former version was to bright for me. The colours are better now. But it's OK that you don't like it. --Hockei (talk) 13:14, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like some algorithm's result to me but ultimately, it doesn't matter. The result is not sharp and other images here show that it's possible to get much sharper results. Regarding your opinion that a picture of this plant could hardly get FP status: I'm sure it's possible to find such a plant with a slightly less busy background. But even if not: There is no guarantee that every subject must be capturable such that it deserves FP status. If that's not possible, that's ok and changes nothing. In total, the vast majority of subjects is hardly material for FP photos. — Julian H. 14:06, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are several pictures that I not find sharp enough and they got FP. It's your opinion. But never regarding nature ... In total, the vast majority of subjects is hardly material for FP photos. is something what I see so. The nature is no building! --Hockei (talk) 16:09, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are misunderstanding about my comment Jebulon. I mentioned the river with long exposure, wanted to say this is not in real :) --Laitche (talk) 00:43, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I agree with Laitche. There are other problems with this image IMO but the river looks like this simply because a long exposure was necessary, not because there's a problem with the technique. It's not always possible to photograph a scene the way the eyes see it (and anyway, in low light, our eyes don't perceive colour very well, would you argue that we should desaturate a photo to better match our eyes?). We can try to match our mind's eye and it's great if we can succeed, but in this case I don't think it's possible. We have to accept that the camera sees things very differently to the eye. Diliff (talk) 17:16, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What's the other problems, Diliff. I'm interested. --Laitche (talk) 19:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The main problem is that it is completely unnatural and overdone. Short: ugly (my taste. Same value as yours)--Jebulon (talk) 22:12, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think the HDR has perhaps been pushed a bit too far. The sky looks a bit strange. It has the coolness of the blue hour but doesn't have the tonality that I would expect from the blue hour (a deep blue sky, bright incandescent lighting and deep shadows etc). Nice lighting is really important for a night/blue hour photo and I think this might have been taken a bit too early when it wasn't at its best. It feels a bit dull and grey. And apart from the church and the tower on top of the hill, there doesn't seem to be much of historical interest in the scene. Most of the buildings seem fairly modern. Compositionally, it's also missing a 'je ne sais quoi', for me. Diliff (talk) 08:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Julian, if you look the file history you will find that I was trying solve this problem. If you give me more information about what areas look too strange, it could be ussefull to improve the image. Thanks for your comments. A hug --The Photographer (talk) 16:40, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, I see your point. And I have a hard time defining exactly what looks strange to me, so I guess it's not fair to oppose. I think compositionally, what bugs me the most is that the columns that dominate the architecture don't actually stand out that much contrast-wise and therefore make it harder to anchor parts of the image in the third dimension. Anyway, maybe I'm just too critical. One thing though: There is a piece of white background form the perspective correction on the lower left. — Julian H. 06:45, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

* Oppose This is not an alternative, but another completely different picture.--Jebulon (talk) 21:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Jebulon, the main contentious issue with using an Alt for an image that isn't from exactly the same RAW file is that one might abuse the system by nominating more than two at a time. Is Julian in a habit of abusing FP by a continual stream of FPC along with alts? As far as the resulting image is concerned, the original nomination looks very much like a crop of this large panorama, even if technically it isn't. So I think the spirit of an Alt nomination is here, even if it fails your legal test. The drawback to an Alt, for Julians's POV, is that only one can be featured. And I think that is fair here, as we don't really want to go about featuring images along with what appears to be a cropped version also. So I think an alt nomination is by far the best choice here, lest we get into a mess with two potential FPs. -- Colin (talk) 07:59, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Colin, this is NOT an alternative, sorry. Do you really think that a picture should be or not an alternative regarding the usual behaviour of the uploader ? I guess (and hope) it is not the case...--Jebulon (talk) 10:42, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Jebulon we have discussed this at length e.g., Commons talk:Featured picture candidates/Archive 14#Alternative ? (again), and you have failed to establish any official rule nor consensus for your interpretation of "alternative". So this is just your opinion, not a fact. I know you are fan of rules, but others prefer to allow some give-and-take and are strongly opposed to rules that prevent good-faith no-harm-done actions. Forget for a minute how this image is created and just look at the two images: one is a crop of the other. In this digital age, where we take numerous photos just by holding the button down, and a large proportion of images at FPC are composites of several raw frames take over a period of minutes, it really does not make sense to have some rule that insists alternatives are merely different processes of one raw file. You misunderstand me wrt "behaviour". The alternative restriction (which is merely undocumented convention, that has long since forgotten) was created to prevent abusive behaviour. You have contorted it into something that prevents desirable behaviour simply because you are stuck with your old view of what the rule was. The only fact is that Julian has offered this as an alternative candidate where only one can succeed. To me that is the best process for dealing with two images that are essentially different crops, regardless of how they were made. I note that the original image and the three-frame panorama were taken with the same lens and exposure values and a minute apart. The original could have been merely the central frame in the three-frames that make up the stitch, but if it isn't then who cares. In a composite image, one doesn't really get concerned with which raw files made it. -- Colin (talk) 11:37, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Colin, about your reference/quote: I did not fail in anything, I just asked a question, there was not any vote, just a debate. Fan of rules ? Yes, it is necessary here, as everybody tend to establish his own rules for his own purpose or " success " in nominations. Sorry for my "old view", but it will continue. What is the problem of another nomination ? I dislike "alternatives"in general for other reasons too, difficult to explain in a foreign language. Short (but not exactly my feeling), you are psychologically obliged to chose: this or that. Not a vote for "the best of Commons", but a vote for "a better between two candidates". This is the purpose of VI. Sorry for poor english and my "old mind" which is younger as you believe, be sure ! --Jebulon (talk) 20:30, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • The problem with another nomination is that Julian must choose either to withdraw this one and gamble on people preferring the other, or run both and hope he doesn't get oppose votes simply because people have supported the first one and don't want both promoted, or worse, that both get promoted but one clearly the favourite. It all gets messy when one's intention is that only one should be FP. I've never felt the pressure, with an alternative nom, to "choose" one. I'm quite happy to dismiss both. I've seen enough "prefer this but still not FP" comments to feel happy that others can do this too. Wrt vote vs debate, I much prefer a discussion as Commons votes too early before anyone's brain is engaged in trying to understand all the sides. The discussion clearly showed that we are all of different minds on when one should use an alternative nomination, so that's the conclusion. By and large, it seems to work fairly well, with people mostly knowing not to propose a radically different image. There are many ways to gain an unfair advantage that are worse than this possibility here: like going through the existing nominations freely offering one's support to win friends prior to nominations. Or never opposing so as to avoid making enemies. There is no perfect system and you only have to look at how governments try to create rules around benefits to see how creating rules to catch the cheats can also harm the poor and disabled. I appreciate you see negative aspects to alternatives, but there are positive aspects too. -- Colin (talk) 21:03, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Jebulon: Sorry about the mess, I should have nominated this version initially, or maybe withdrawn this and started a new nomination when I recognized that this version is more popular. The alternative was probably not ideal procedurally, although I agree with Colin's points because it is essentially a crop. But any of these actions would make things more complicated now than just keeping this nomination running as it is, while having no real benefit. In the end, the purpose of all of this appears to be a fair voting process and as little work as possible. — Julian H. 06:29, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination If there's a consensus that there's quality issues, then there's quality issues. This was shot as JPG with a too-high sharpness preset, so there's nothing I can do to fix that. In future I'll be shooting RAW. Thank you for your comments.

  •  Oppose Very dark, making it hard to see the traffic light structure. But generally, I don't think animated GIF is an appropriate format for 2015 FP. We have better quality video formats, which allow the user to control when to play. The video is a bit on the slow side -- is the timing accurate (ignoring the time spent on green or red, which must vary with the junction)? Without accurate timing, one might as well just show a series of cartoon lights to explain the sequence, which has other advantages too. -- Colin (talk) 11:42, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Da, I did put longer intervals where they exist, to get feeling of cycle. But I didn't go into complete scaling, why ? Because would last some 2 minutes. And I know videos, animations should not be that long, people loose interest after 20-30 seconds at such occasion. Unless some more dynamic presentation, which is not the case here. Neither I saw semafor animation with complete cycle in 1:1. Will one wait 30 seconds to wait for green or will think animation is over ? That's why, pack in more tight if you want the audience. --Mile (talk) 14:20, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nicubunu: Though the edit seems ok and I personnaly see no issue here, the licence allow you to upload a different file with a modified version but don't allow you to overwrite indefinitely the image with a new version. See : Commons:Overwriting existing files. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:07, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say this falls under Minor improvements: minor and uncontroversial color correction, noise reduction, perspective correction etc., which are allowed. --Mihai (talk) 18:33, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nicubunu, you are wrong. The licence says nothing about overwriting files on Commons, which is the issue here, vs someone uploading an alternative that is not in the competition. You may feel you don't have an issue, but consider if the image wins a prize and someone else complains that this image was given an unfair advantage -- that someone other than the photographer manipulated the image to an advantage (or disadvantage) and possibly after the deadline for submissions. When running a competition (and I was involved in WLM UK) you have to be seen to be completely fair, more than just feel you are fair in yourself. For myself, if someone else had fiddled with one of my WLM images during the review process, I'd have had very harsh words for them. We have no shortage of filenames and there is no rush to submit to FP. Mihai, the guideline says "it is strongly recommended that users wishing to make improvements to photographs first contact the creator, whether on Commons or elsewhere." I can't put it any more simply than that. It is the polite and respectful thing to do. -- Colin (talk) 20:19, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Colin, let's not forget the scope of this discussion: it's not about whether minor improvements to a photo are a disadvantage to other contestants in WLM, which is a totally different issue, but whether this image is good enough for the featured picture status at Commons. Had you expressed these objections from the start (I've mentioned WLM from the start), instead of requesting improvements, I would have postponed the nomination. --Mihai (talk) 03:29, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Colin, the image was already evaluated by the WLMRO jury in its original form.--Nicubunu (talk) 15:26, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Statue of Victor Schoelcher in Cayenne, French Guiana.
 Comment The monument shows Victor Schoelcher (1804-1893) with a liberated slave. In France, slavery was abolished in 1794 (French Revolution), reintroduced in 1802 by Napoleon I, to be definitely abolished in 1848 via a decree prepared by Victor Schoelcher. The monument was erected in 1896. It is listed as Monument historique since 1999.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Sorry if I unpleased you, but I didn't anything you couldn't undo in one click, did I? That was the point: proposing an edit and if you don't like it, simply revert it, without need to multiply derivative and unused files (that's now what happened here). Btw, no saturation was added, it only came from the enhanced contrast; may be I could have reduced it a bit to compensate. Anyway, I didn't knew that in some place on Earth grey-colored snow was falling. But I understand also that's the natural look when you wear good and dark sunglasses ;-).

  • Thanks for your effort but the colour of the mountain and sky has also changed, it looks washed out. This is a stiched picture on jpg files plus I have done also some cloning work. Still I insist that the rather gray colour is natural. It might be the effect of UV light on high altitude (2200 mslm). Snow is "never" white --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:48, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I preffer the natural version, also this version has a hard sky noise artifact ( Se the middle top just in peak top). A rebuild from RAW file could be the best practice --The Photographer (talk) 11:49, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Not bad Ivar, but you lightened the image by sliding the levels right slider to the left. That's not a wise way when you already have some (few in this case) pure white pixels in the image like here as you will loose information very fast in the highlights. This leaded also to reveal, by posterization, a color problem with green, already present in the original file on the snowy slope at the right of the mountain and along the tracks below, around the houses.

In case you hadn't noticed, this is a focus stack of six images, so the clarity of focus on the cactus is not something that's attainable with a single shot. Rationalobserver (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Very good technical achievement indeed. I don't say the contrary. I just find the subject a bit boring, sorry. --Jebulon (talk) 20:43, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, this object is at least 10 cm. you must close the diphragme more. If you're very perfectionist you can do it in 2 images but no need to do so with 6, especially in light that varied. Test. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, this specimen is less than 6 cm tall and 3.5 cm wide, and the light isn't varied; it was full sun directly behind through a diffuser, and the six shots were taken within 18 seconds of each other.

  •  Comment White balance looks fine to me. It is a daylight white balance for a daylight photo. If we inspect the concrete pillars underneath the building, they are actually yellowish. What exactly is too bluish? The windows are naturally supposed to be blue/green tinted. The grey tiles on the exterior of the building are not exactly purely desaturated in real life either. dllu (t,c) 14:14, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am shocked to hear you complain about sharpness for a 142 megapixel image. Let me remind you that this was shot using the Sony Zeiss T* Sonnar 55mm f/1.8 lens on the Sony A7R undisputedly one of the sharpest optical systems you can buy for $3000. Moreover this was shot at f/8, at ISO 100, at 1/300 s shutter speed, which all photographers will agree are the optimal settings for sharpness. The reason for softness is that this is a rectilinear projection (to preserve straightness of lines) which naturally stretches the image in the sides (not unlike perspective correction) -- of course there is going to be loss of sharpness at regions other than the center. But I chose to upload the highest resolution to preserve detail in the center. The next time I choose to contribute a photo to Wikimedia Commons, I will have two options. Either I can upload the full 142 megapixel image, or I can downsample it by a factor of 16 to only 8.8 megapixels. Many photos -- even of architecture! fewer than 8 megapixels sail happily through the FP process without issue, simply because the resolution is low enough to hide any aberrations. When downsampled to 8 megapixels, all the stitching errors you see will become subpixel in magnitude and nobody will notice them. At 8.8 megapixels, everything will be tack sharp and there will be no noise. Look at the picture below, which do you prefer?
Please view this at full resolution. On the bottom left we see a crop from the version downsampled to 3958 by 2235 pixels. On the right is the original. The minor stitching error is all but gone in the left, but at what cost?
When future photographers read Commons:FPC and see people complaining about sharpness in a sharp 142 megapixel image, do you think anyone will still upload the full resolution? Please reflect carefully on the harm that your words may cause. dllu (t,c) 14:14, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done I applied partial brightening. The challenge was, that there was not a single light switched on in the church and the corner in the eastern part of the nave was completly in the dark. When processing the image, I was afraid, that too much brightening of this part would raise too much noise, but the result now is imo acceptable. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 04:18, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I already saw this in QIC and found it very nice, but I really wonder about the heavy noise level of the whole picture. Did you brighten it up a lot? Compositionally very nice of course. Maybe HDR would have been a good idea here. FP anyways, IMO. I'm really envious about your lens ;-) --Code (talk) 04:49, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment It is already a HDR image. It was really very dark in the church and I didn't wanted to go over ISO 400, so I had to expect some noise of course. The good thing was, that the problem with the TS-17mm flares is not present, when the sky is overcast or no light spots are present. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 05:12, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, ok, I didn't know that. Could you eventually provide some information about your HDR processing here? The noise is quite strong IMO. I suppose you used a tripod? Why did you choose ISO 400 then? The top part is quite unsharp, too. Is this a problem of the TS-lens? --Code (talk) 14:07, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The castle was constructed in the 10th century although the location had been used already by the Iberians and reformed in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the castle rests from different civilisations can be found: Iberian, Romans, Goths and Arabs.

The 'Spullersee' is a lake in high mountains of Vorarlberg
you're right, I liked it so much the better --Böhringer (talk) 11:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mile, it is absolutely about MP not the camera. We're judging the JPG not the sensor. We're not concerned here about how the noise got there (which is interesting but not part of FP's job to review whether a different camera is needed - the noise is almost certainly from the processing). When people pixel-peep noise in a 30MP image that is invisible when downsized to 12MP then all you are saying is "Don't be stupid uploading 30MP to Commons if you want featured, upload 12MP instead and you'll sail through no problem". Then all that is harmed is the quality of the image, especially if one wants to explore the landscape in detail or print it large. We have a lot of downsized-stitched images nominated at FP and it is easy to forget what an out-of-camera image looks like even with good equipment. That said, the corner sharpness is a huge technical flaw here, so you're left to judge if the wow compensates. And I agree it is a bit over-cooked. -- Colin (talk) 10:25, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry Colin, but, We can't stimulate the downsizing. This section is about pictures and not about cameras. Its not a contest about photo manipulation, We are talking about composition and pictures well shooted. I dont have money to buy a Canon EOS 5DS, You do not want to turn this into an elite section of expensive cameras with great skills, to lower the size of the photos. This is no time to be right, Colin, you could leave your damn ego aside for a second? --The Photographer (talk) 02:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Photographer, I think you've completely misinterpreted my comments, and I can't understand a word of what you wrote. I don't know what you mean by "stimulate the downsizing". If you want to see what a 12MP version looks like, see this link or simply open the image in IrfanView and resize it. Could you please avoid making personal attacks on FPC, thank-you. Don't you forget that the vast majority of my FPs were created with an entry-level 14MP DSLR from 2010 with cheap plastic lenses. I have not made any comments that suggest one needs expensive cameras. -- Colin (talk) 07:21, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blue hour HDR view of the old town of Tarazona and Queiles river, Aragon, Spain. The outstanding tower belongs to church of St Mary Magdalene, built in the 12th century. The tower was reconstructed in the 15th century (Mudéjar style) and 17th century (Mannerist style).
  • Mmmh, yeah, I guess you've got a point there. But I'm still not really convinced by the HDR as a whole. As Ralf said in German, it looks a bit too unnatural. I don't have much experience in processing HDR myself, so I can't really put my finger on it, though. Maybe it's just a bit too bright for a night scene (especially the sky)? --El Grafo (talk) 18:47, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry, because I like the mood, but I agree very much with Ralf and Daniel. --Tremonist (talk) 12:48, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment To be honest, I've no clue how I could have taken or processed this picture in a way that you would have supported it, guys. The water looks they way I would expect for a small current with a long exposure. Regarding the fact that it is a portrait, I could offer a landscape version (see here, is it FP-worthy?!) but the problem seems to be rather the usage of HDR in a scene that actually needs HDR, because the dynamic range was notable. Poco2 16:24, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That other image isn't from quite the same spot, and it's cropped really tight on the right. But I could see something more like that coming out of that night. Daniel Case (talk) 05:28, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I like long exposure shots and the effect on the water. And this one has a nice composition on top of it. Wonder about WB, but it's always tricky on night shots. - Benh (talk) 17:06, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 18:42, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. What HDR processing are you using now Poco? You know I've said in the past that I didn't think your processing was ideal (exposure blending using tufuse?) but I think you've started using Lightroom HDR merge now? Anyway, regardless, I agree with other opposers generally. The water probably does look 'correct' for the exposure length but it does look a bit unnatural and strange. The ripple effect must be the result of something under the water causing turbulence. Also, in addition to the strange sky through the bell tower, there also seems to be a ghost edge on the right side of the tower, just above the roofs. Other parts of the image seem a bit low in contrast. It's hard to say one single thing is the reason for the oppose, it's just the collection of lots of little problems that make it not FP for me. Diliff (talk) 23:03, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I re-read the thread with El Grafo and I think the mesh would explain the brighter patch in the window through the tower due to the illumination, as you said. There are still the other issues though. Diliff (talk) 08:49, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Also, I had another think about how to explain the issues that I regularly see in many of your HDR images (and perhaps others too, although I don't want to speak for them). Some of the images seem to be missing a bit of contrast. I had a look at the histogram for this image and there is empty space on the left side. In some situations, this would probably be a good thing because it means you've avoided black clipping, but it can also mean that by using HDR, you've preserved every single pixel of shadow detail and that isn't always what the scene needs, particularly a night scene where there should naturally be very dark shadows. Just because you can show the full dynamic range in mid-tones, that doesn't mean you should. A small amount of black clipping is often a good thing. I think this image could benefit a little from increasing the black point or contrast. I had a quick attempt on my computer and I think the result was slightly improved, with the buildings looking a bit less washed out and more natural looking. You could either apply it globally or 'paint' extra contrast where it needs it using using an adjustment brush in Lightroom. Just some thoughts that might help in future. Diliff (talk) 09:11, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Diliff: thanks for your comments. Yes, I have started to use, in addition to Enfuse (blending procedure), the HDR algorithm of Lightroom and I decide then which one of both looks better and (actually, also) more natural. That it is not convenient to lighten up the shadows too much to get rid of the black clipping is clear (washed out result, lack of contrast), that has never been my modus operandi. Still, I agree with you that in this case there was some improvement (see ✓ new version, please, let me know what you think). In this particular case I opted for the Enfuse version, as the HDR looks more unnatural, although in this case the difference between both is not as much as in other cases. Poco2 12:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Hi Poco, sorry I didn't get back to you before you withdrew, but in any case, yes I think the updated image looks a bit better. It's still not the most attractive composition for me though so I probably wouldn't have supported it, and there is still a ghost-like line on the right side of the tower, although I can see that it might be a rope or netting as it seems to come from a pole at the side? Strange anyway but maybe it was really in the scene. I would also suggest that you make extra sure that your camera isn't moving/shaking at all in your HDR work because sometimes I think I see some blurriness that might be because the different HDR frames were not aligned perfectly. With such a high res camera, you need to take extra care with stability. It's not a major problem in this scene but it does reduce sharpness a bit perhaps. If you don't already, shoot with mirror lock up / live view as the shutter vibration is much less than if the mirror slaps. Anyway, just something to think about in the future. :-) Diliff (talk) 09:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From the English Wikipedia article: "The M-209, designated CSP-1500 by the United States Navy (C-38 by the manufacturer) is a portable, mechanical cipher machine used by the US military primarily in World War II, though it remained in active use through the Korean War. The M-209 was designed by Swedish cryptographer Boris Hagelin... The M-209 is about the size of a lunchbox, in its final form measuring 3.25 by 5.5 by 7 inches (83 mm × 140 mm × 178 mm) and weighing 6 pounds (plus 1 pound for the case). It represented a brilliant achievement for pre-electronic technology. "

* Oppose. Bad file name. I don't know what I'm looking at.This is an enigma for me.--Jebulon (talk) 11:08, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Well M209 actually is the machine's name. In any case, we're judging the image, not a file name (which can be changed, eventough it is already properly documented on the description page). Popo le Chien ouah 11:25, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Popo le Chien The Commons:Image guidelines for this forum require an image should "have a meaningful file name, be properly categorized and have an accurate description on the file page in one or more languages". These things aren't always checked thoroughly, but do form part of what we should be proud to feature. Having said that, I agree that "M209B" is meaningful, if a bit too terse to be helpful, and the "-IMG 0557" is not much different to all sorts of ID suffixes that filenames often contain. Changing a filename isn't always easy (unless clearly wrong or utterly meaningless), more so once the file is heavily used, which may occur if it is featured. For example, changing it to "M209B Cipher Machine-IMG 0557.JPG" would be more meaningful but some admins won't permit such a helpful change. -- Colin (talk) 12:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Colin I know, I know, thanks for the reminder though. But at the end of the day, considering how easy it is to rename and how tedious it is to run a nomination / vote process, I'd rather discuss the quality of the image than what is, IMHO, a bureaucratic detail. This being said, we could simply rename it M209 Cipher machine.jpg, that'd be just as good. Popo le Chien ouah 12:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest you ask Rama, as the creator has more persuasive power at our very restrictive Commons:File renaming policy. Personally, I'd rather face a hard FPC than do battle with some of our admins over filenames. The best solution, is to encourage clear and helpful names at upload-time. -- Colin (talk) 12:20, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello, and thank you for nominating this image, I am flattered. I have renamed it to a hopefully more explicit name, I had not realised how confusing the contatenation would look. Jebulon, je te mets la moyenne pour la blague sur Enigma et la citation de Lénine (excellente !), mais c'est bien payé, la M209B est quand même un classique. Cheers!

Sulfur extraction, Texas, 1943

@Daniel Case and Ralf Roletschek: Sulfur is yellow. See File:Yellow formations of sulphur crystals on White Island.jpg, File:The sulfur miner of Kawah Ijen Mountain, Indonesia.jpg, File:SULFUR PILE AT PLANT - NARA - 542540.jpg. Yann (talk) 20:49, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know what color sulfur is, thank you very much. Do we know for sure it was this yellow in the original image? Daniel Case (talk) 05:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Maybe the film has deteriorated over time or maybe the photographer used a filter to make it appear more yellow. Personally, I'm not a fan of "fixing" something by guessing how it could have looked like. --El Grafo (talk) 10:19, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
BTW: Automatic white balance in GIMP results in something that is in-between the original and Ralf's version. Looks more credible to me because it still has quite a bit of yellow in the sulfur … --El Grafo (talk) 11:11, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have balance the neutral gray to various points into the "white(?)" clouds. --Ralf Roleček 17:55, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case and Ralf Roletschek: I made a new version with a better white balance, but that doesn't change the yellow color. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:41, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
