  •  Oppose Sorry no. The supposed white (or heraldic silver) parts (planes, background of arrows) are transparent here. It needs a white layer under the composition--Jebulon 12:13, 23 May 2011 (UTC) Corrected indeed. Technically good, but the heraldic is wrong. I remain neutral here.--Jebulon 23:25, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Nomination The Old Clock Tower, Sevlievo. --MrPanyGoff 05:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Promotion  Support Good quality. --Raghith 07:35, 26 May 2011 (UTC)The main subject itself is fine, but the shadow is disturbing, and the pink cloth too. It needs a discussion IMO.--Jebulon 10:16, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
    Partly agree considering the pink cloth. Would it be OK if I change its colour to more neutral one or you want it erased? As for the shadow, I don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't affect the main subject nor the surrounding ones. I can reduce its area by cropping a bit in the bottom.--MrPanyGoff 11:07, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Please notice that I did'nt really oppose. I juste wished for other opinions, because I didn't want that this picture were "simply" promotted. The issues are minor, but had to be mentioned IMO. I know you'll do your best for improvements.--Jebulon 07:55, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

File:Sickla_strand_april_2011b.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Sickla strand. Built 1947-48. Arcitects: Tore och Erik ahlsén. --Ankara 19:38, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Decline The composition does not showcase the architecture at all. --Saffron Blaze 08:01, 27 May 2011 (UTC) It is a detail image showing colors on the facades and balconies, it is one of the area (which is considered historically and architecturally valuable) qualities. The facade looks exactly like it was built 60 years ago. The image complements the others in the category, the statement that "composition not does showcase the architecture at all" is therefore false.--Ankara 08:30, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
     Comment I don't know if a standard for architecure photos exist. For me, if you are trying to demonstrate an architectural style most, if not all, of the structure should be in view. If others think what you have offered meets the aim of providing EV than I will be happy to accept that concensus. -- Saffron Blaze 09:13, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I agree with Saffron Blaze. --Tomer T 14:52, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose IMO: in QIC the educational value is not the main argument for a promotion. In this case, I think that the composition is ruined by the very disturbing parked cars in foreground. Furthermore, this pictures suffers of a (correctible) vertical distorsion.--Jebulon 08:08, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
    • Did you really think that the distortion is a problem here? Usually I do not make any perspective correction when I use my Nikon 50mm f/1.8, a lens known to basically be free from distortion. However, I must admit that the car at the far right is disturbing. Thanks for your reviews.--Ankara 08:26, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
      • I think he means tilt. Best demonstrated by the change in the width of the gap on the left side, but it is visible in the window frames as well. Saffron Blaze 10:58, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
        • Sorry no, I don't mean "tilt", but perspective distorsion: Put a grid over the picture, you will see that edge of the wall is leaning to the right at left, and the windows at right are leaning to the left. What have to be vertical is not vertical --Jebulon 07:18, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
          • Ah yes, I see what you mean. I should have inspected both sides of the image. Saffron Blaze 17:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Sorry, our 2 megapixel requirement for QIs isn't a matter of opinion. But even leaving that aside, I think the quality isn't really there. A tight crop on top, harsh lighting, and an odd facial expression jump out at me. The sharpness isn't bad though. --Avenue 12:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  Oppose Sorry, but the composition isn't good: it isn't clear what is the photo's subject. --Tomer T 09:37, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, i don't understand, what there should be unclear: the picture shows the painter (left) and the lady, thats spokes the honorary toasts. They stood a few meters away from each other; another composition, thats shows them similiar sized and both sharp seems to me nearly unpossible. --Alupus 15:28, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Firsly, it would be helpful if the description would be added to the file's page in English, so that it would be clear who is the lady and who is the man. Secondly, I've opened it for discussion. --Tomer T 19:38, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

    • You could not like or dislike the focus, it's an artistic method, it's all about taste. What about brightness, I may underexpose it. Could you please tell me the numbers — gamma, left and right borders of bar chart? Or maybe you'll explain where is a bright point so I could base on it making the image darker and durtier?

File:Katharina König DSC 3451.jpg[edit]

Comment: I made an new version, somewhat warmer and lucid, and a little bit cropped on the top. How do you all that new version critize? --Alupus 11:27, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The new version seems much better to me. Amazing what a difference the colour change makes. Pores don't jump out as much, and her eyes seem more lively - certainly a more sympathetic portrayal. The composition is also improved. The main remaining flaw I see is that the focal plane is a bit in front of the eyes - not too bad though. --Avenue 12:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with the new version being a more sympathetic portrayal. To me it seems to cross the threshold into QI. Saffron Blaze 13:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to your comments. The focus plane could in deed something more near to her eyes, or F 4,8 - 5,6 in lieu of F 3,3. I hereby draw back the candidature of the old version. --Alupus 15:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    please explain what you are meaning, there is indeed an adequate description/ definition --Taxiarchos228 09:26, 26 May 2011 (UTC)  Comment The definition of the image is of 1,82mpx. So, she is lower than what is required to reach the status of QI. --M0tty 09:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Sorry, but I donot like the composition the tree on the right is distracting. The object is just put in the middle. --Elektroschreiber 07:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
such as you did here: File:Caterpillar325DLN CanalEnlargement GermanyDortmundEmsCanal HDR.JPG. there is no need use in every picture the golden ratio, not even in every FP --Wladyslaw (talk) 10:50, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The centered composition of the house is made very unbalanced by the tree on one side and only the light pole on the other. Cropping the left side at about the same position as the pole (to make the picture tell a story about the similar shapes of the building and the tree) might be an improvement. I also think a lower elevation might be an improvement — looking down on the building makes it look shorter while a lot of the interest in its shape comes from how tall it is — but that might be difficult because of the trees getting in the way. —David Eppstein 20:29, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
you probably mix up QI criteria with a beauty contest. I would never say this is a FP. --Taxiarchos228 06:35, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
One of the QI criteria is whether the photo is acceptably well composed. I don't think this one is. —David Eppstein 15:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
You seem not knowing the conditions at this place. An acceptable composition is when an object is showed clearly within the bounds of possibility. And this was done here. --Taxiarchos228 13:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support Somewhat weak support, as it lacks some sharpeness, and has tight crop at the bottom. But shows the object as complete as possible, has over all acceptable quality, and so is QI for me. -- Smial 22:04, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

As I wrote, the description gives no clue where this tower is. It just says it has the name "Blauen". Thanks for the geocode, with this it's not an issue anymore. But I still do not favor the crop, sorry. The top is cut off, whereas below there's much dead space. I have no problem with the exposure though (as Mattbuck wrote). -- H005 17:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

    Different reviewers have different emphasis on things they look for, and some have higher bars than others. What might seem like a ridiculous detail for one reviewer may not be seen as such by other reviewers. That's a good reason for having CR as part of the QI process. What triggers me is that you respond by getting personal, ridiculing the reviewer for needing glasses. That is completely unnecessary and incivil. If you do not see the perspective distortion yourself, you could ask if the reviewer would mind indicating where and how the distortion manifests itself. It is also OK to disagree with an assessment, just do not get personal. --Slaunger 13:41, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

  •  Neutral There is geometric distortion of the leftmost section of the building. The horizontals are alright. But the verticals gets worse and worse as you go to the left, especially behind the trees. This is easily verified with by dragging a vertical line in, e.g., GIMP over the columns in leftmost building. I do not think it will be noticed by 98% of all viewers, but since it is fixable I would like to mention it. So it is not a simple overall tilt or perspective correction which is needed, but perhaps a revisit of the control points in the leftmost parts of the photo used in the stitching process and some inclusion of vertical guidelines in the stitcher. --Slaunger 13:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

  •  Comment There's something odd about this image (both versions). It is only 4M from a 12M pro camera and doesn't look that sharp. Is the lack of colour detail due to being under-exposed and then stretched back? Was too high a JPG compression used? There are jaggies round sharp straight lines like some kind of interference or the result of rotating. The "Version with no D-lighting" is not as good a crop as the earlier one but I agree the D-lighting one was unnatural. --Colin (talk) 16:23, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
    • Both versions are crops from a larger landscape image, hence only 4MB. As for jaggies I am not sure as to what you are referring... the roofline is jagged because they use large tiles.Saffron Blaze 17:35, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
      • So are you able to widen the latest version to have a similar crop to the previous? The "jaggies" aren't the roofline steps. It's a pixel-level texture on sharp edges. Look at the edges of the iris at the bottom, the ripples near the ducks, the window frames in the house, the lower step of the house. The pixels alternate from light to dark stipple. Looking closely at the birds on the roof and the aerials, I can see a halo so I wonder if this effect is due to over sharpening. It is a pretty scene so I hope it can be improved. [Whoever stuck that "No cyclists" sign there should be shot]. --Colin 18:52, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
        • I said something, expletive laden, similar about that sign. It not only spoils the illusion but later in the day it reflects the sun mercilessly. That aside I will go back to the orginal and try to duplicate the original crop as it is better and try to minimise any post processing to see if there is something I am overdoing. Saffron Blaze 19:48, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
          • Well, it is cropped more like the original. Sharpness is about the same. It seems fine at 100%. For what folks are seeing when pixel peeping I have no educated explanation. Saffron Blaze 21:21, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
            • Crop: I like that the 21:13, 29 May 2011 version gets the whole of the left building but prefer that that the 17:51, 28 May 2011 version gets all the right hedge. Seems to complete the picture better if they aren't cut off, but that's just a personal preference. I agree that extreme pixel peeping comments shouldn't affect a QI vote -- I'm just commenting that there is an odd effect going on. But I see you've reverted to the original turquoise-sky D-Lighting version which I'm not sure about. --Colin 08:44, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
              • No worries, I think the original file lacks critical focus on the structures, as opposed to the foreground. Even in NEF (RAW) I can see a lack of definition and those halos you are commenting on. I suspect the latter has to do with the harsh lighting from the early morning sun. To be frank I was never overjoyed with the original as the DR is too wide for one exposure. I needed to arrive 30 minutes earlier before the sun crested the horizon to get the lighting I wanted yet still have the calm air. By mid morning not only does the wind usually pick up but so do the tourists. Saffron Blaze 13:05, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
  •  Strong oppose destroyed image because of heavily exaggerated retouching --Carschten 15:36, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

    • the picture shows part of the area. The choice to place the houses in this ways and save as much of the trees and nature is a hallmark of Swedish post-war architecture. The image is used on Wikipedia, just as an example of urban design from the postwar period in the article on the Nacka Municipality. It was also one of the few places in the area where it was possible to shoot more than one building in the same image. The variation of different types of houses, and various colors are also part of the architecture in an area. And it distinguishes the area from larger-scale housing estates in the 1960s and 1970s.

Both cabs are on "rule of thirds" intersections if one cares about these things (Commons isn't just about artistic composition). The machines might be more impressive if the photographer had crouched or held the camera near the ground and filled the space vertically. I agree the fence rather spoils the picture.

  •  Oppose Yes, the vertical lines are exactly vertical. But alle the cars and the walking frame in the lower area of the picture look compressed. The ball lamps at the side door look compressed. The middle area of the picture above the doors with the the steeple, the clock look naturally. The cross, the ball and the roof of the steeple in the upper area look drawn out. The ball looks more like an egg. On your image File:Istein_-_St._Michael9.jpg the propotions look much more naturally. --Elektroschreiber 05:50, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
    • you can't compare the picture File:Istein_-_St._Michael9.jpg with this one which was made directly in front of it. --Taxiarchos228 08:02, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
      • Oh, I can compare the pictures. As far as I know the shortening because of the perspective. The roof of the steeple, the ball under the cross and the cross should become smaller and more compressed because they are more away then the cars and the walking frame. But on this picture it is just the other way. The roof becomes longer and longer and the cars on the ground become compressed and even more compressed. That looks really unrealistic. --Elektroschreiber 11:44, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
      • But I can't give a way to change the perspective in a correct way. So I withdraw my oppose.--Elektroschreiber 12:13, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

    No you don't. It is only an unusual composition--Jebulon 16:22, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
    Non sense answer, I misunderstood, sorry--Jebulon 08:01, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I have thought about it and although I think the photo both has technical quality and artistic value, I think it has limited informational/educational value, so, sorry, I decline it. Feel free to bring it to CR, if you would like second opinion on that. --Slaunger 21:02, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your very careful review. But please notice that the lack of educational or informational is not a relevant argument for decline in QIC. Logicaly, your comment should have been conclued by a "support" vote...--Jebulon 08:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
      • You are formally correct; let me put it differently. In the guideline it is stated concerning focus "Every important object on the picture should be sharp, considering the idea of the image." Since only the background is in focus I conclude the bg is the main subject. Next, regarding composition it says "Foreground ... objects should not be distracting." The foreground is the out-of-focus stone wall with holes. The blurred out foreground blocks visibility of the main subject by over 50% to the object in focus. Thus, I conclude: Not QI. But I think it not clearcut, as this is a quite rigid/mechanic interpretation of the guideline, and all rules can be broken. Thus, I would like to hear other opinions in a CR. --Slaunger 21:33, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

But they aren't terribly sharp, the girl has no expression on her face, and the other passenger is hidden. Try setting your camera's drive mode to continuous advance and hold down the shutter to fire off loads of shots. Then you might get lucky. --Colin (talk)

      •  Oppose I think you are both right in a way (at least in the English text, I don't understand Spanish.) Many technically overexposed spots are unavoidable and nothing is lost there. That the windows are dark and some places under the trees are very dark is also normal. Yet I see two places that disturb me: One of the clouds on the right is overexposed on a larger area, so that its structure is lost in plain white. In the region at the hedge in front of the church darkness is disturbing as structure cannot be seen any more. Apart from that, there is visible noise on the church wall at the left. --Johannes Robalotoff 17:24, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
      •  Oppose The exposure issues reflect the difficulty of taking such a picture in bright daytime sunlight. If the RAW file is available, then Lightroom may be able to recover some of the extremes and bring out a little detail in the hedge. But I suspect there isn't any significant detail lost in the clouds, which can get so bright they hurt your eyes never mind remain within the limits of a JPG. Lightroom may also be able to eliminate the chroma noise spotted on the church wall. Overall, the exposure is fine and the areas affected minor enough not to trouble me for QI. However, I'm disappointed with the composition. There's too much of the field on the left and half a red house on the right. Crop the photo to just left of the church and on the right to remove the red house and car (keeping the nearby tree) to give a portrait image that IMO is much stronger. --Colin 19:20, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
  • This picture is neither overexposured nor underexposured. I wonder how this one File:Malsburg-Kaltenbach - Evangelische Kirche7.jpg could get QI if the arguments should be valid that I question. --Taxiarchos228 18:44, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

    • I can downsample the image to 2mp and the grain would be invisible. I can also do noise reduction and turn it into a soft Canon look-a-like image. But this is not a digital photo, and the fine grain is a characteristic of the film which has been used by leading photographers for decades. I may get a bad reputation for questioning peoples reviews, so I will not do it here and I respect your opinion. --Ankara 16:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
      • Then it is not noisy, but very grainy. Is it a scan of an analogic image ? OK, maybe I'm technically incompetent for review this kind of picture, I only spoke with my feeling.

    please make clear what here is tilted. The facade are straight in line --Taxiarchos228 10:53, 20 February 2011 (UTC) I made a note to the picture. The tops of the towers are not direct above center of the bottom part of the towers... as it should be probably. --Daniel Baránek 10:57, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
    the location of the camera was left of the center so the spires of the towers has to be like this, this are simple perspective reasons, nothing wrong here --Taxiarchos228 11:40, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose There are different opinions about vertical camera tilt. But this image is simply rotated. --Ikar.us 19:41, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
  •  Support There is no remarkable tilt in this picture to see. Like Wlady said, the spires have to be so by perspective reason. Um es genau zu sagen: Die Helme der Erker können so oder so dieser leicht schrägen Ansicht über den Ansatzpunkten der Erker liegen, da die Helme nicht über einen vollkommenen gleichseitigen Grundriss verfügen. Dies ergibt sich zwingend daraus, dass die die einzelnen Dachbahnen der Helme bildenden Dreiecke nicht alle genau gleich groß sind. Es scheint so zu sein, als habe der Architekt den Ansatzpunkt der Erker unten am Baukubus vor den durch die Dachhelme markierten (gedachten) Erkermittelpunkt gesetzt. Da alle anderen senkrechten Linien des Bildes ausgerichtet sind, kann es sich nicht um eine fehlerhafte perspektivische Transformation handeln. --Alupus 22:35, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Die anderen senkrechten Linien sind eben nicht senkrecht. Parallel, aber nicht senkrecht. Das Bild ist perspektivisch richtig, aber komplett verdreht. --Ikar.us 22:18, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Wo soll da was schief sein? Selbst mit einem Raster in Photoshop versehen und auf 200 % gebeamt, sehe ich von ganz kleinen und irrelevanten Abweichungen hier und da keine "schiefen" Senkrechten. Und ob diese aus der Bildbearbeitung stammen oder evtl. sogar tatsächlich am Bau vorhanden sind (ja, das gibt es, auch an Protzpalästen...), könnte nur eine genaueste Bauaufnahme mit - pardon für die Kamera - besseren Messinstrumenten als eine D 90 klären. Dafür ist C:QIC aber nicht da. In meinen Augen ist das Bild auskorrigiert. Ich fände es eher besser, ein paar wenige Prozent Abweichung Richtung der fallenden Linie zuzulassen. Zu den Gründen vgl. z. B. die Kurvatur am griechischen Tempelbau. Das gilt übertragen auch für Bilder. --Alupus 19:13, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Stürzende Linien heißt das. Die Kanten links sind um 1.2° geneigt, die rechts verlaufen senkrecht. Wenn alles um 0.6° nach links gedreht wird, gibt es eine schöne Perspektive. Ein halbes Grad ist sehr viel und fällt dem bloßen Auge stark auf. Wenn die Gebäude gekippt wären, dann nicht so gleichmäßig. --Ikar.us 21:31, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Danke für deinen Hinweis, dass es stürzende Linien heißt (falsa demonstratio non nocet?!). Im übrigen bleibe ich meiner Ansicht. Auf meinem Bildschirm befindet sich auch bei 300 % Ansicht die überwiegende Zahl auch der Senkrechten auf der linken Bildhälfte im Lot, sprich parallel zum künstlich erzeugten Raster von Photoshop. Auffällig ist allerdings z. b., daß die Gebäudeecke des linken Flügels nicht im Lot ist, der unmittelbar rechts folgende Pilaster an diesem Flügel aber wohl. Derartige Abweichungen können imho nicht durch eine perspektivische Transformation bei der Bildbearbeitung entstehen, sondern sind evtl. Realität? Übrigens: Das Bild sowie aus der Kamera mit den stürzenden Linien ist eine perspektivisch richtige Darstellung. Schlußfolgerung für mich: weiterhin keine Abweichungen zu erkennen, die den QI-Stempel verhindern würden. --Alupus 08:34, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


Die Diskussion ist interessant und wichtig. Meiner Meinung nach ist bei der Korrektur der stürzenden Linien etwas schief gegangen. Das Zentralgebäude wirkt gestaucht und weist eine Konvergenz der waagerechten Linien auf, die wie eine Verzerrung wirkt. Die Treppe rechts scheint zu kippen, sieht aus, wie in sich verdreht. Nun ist das ein subjektiver Eindruck, denn jede 2-D-Darstellung von 3-D-Objekten arbeitet irgendwie mit Verzerrungen, vor allem bei Objekten wie hier, die eine große räumliche Tiefe umfassen und mit Weitwinkel aufgenommen wurden. Dennoch kann man das Problem etwas besser lösen, indem man die waagerechten Linien des Hauptgebäudes etwas geradezieht und dabei darauf achtet, dass die etwa gleichhohen, auffälligen Teile des Gebäudes zueinander passen, einen Grobvergleich der beiden Verfahren habe ich beigefügt. So richtig gut ist es mir nicht gelungen, aber ich glaube, man sieht, was ich meine. Ich bitte um Kommentare. mfg --Mbdortmund 13:47, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

  •  Support Hello everybody ! Sorry for english language, aber wenn ich Deutsch verstehe, it's easier for me to write in (poor) english. Yes it is an interesting and useful debate. I agree with Alupus, there fore I support. For me, this picture is not tilted, nor badly corrected. Maybe be could you notice that I have (almost) the same problem with this unassessed picture. It is not tilted, nor wrongly corrected, but it looks like. The reason in that as photographer I was not really "in front of", or really parallel to, my subject. One can see this when looking to the left (facing) side of the tower. Not only the facing side is visible. Therefore, as it is a looong vertical building, the top looks tilted. I can "correct" horizontal, it should be comfortable for the eyes, but unrealistic. I hope I was clear enough...--Jebulon 09:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
