Consensual review[edit]

File:Höchstadt-Schloss-Tür-20180501-RM-170536.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Door to the courtyard of the castle in Höchstadt an der Aisch --Ermell 07:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Support Good quality. --Aristeas 08:47, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Overexposed for me --MIGORMCZ 21:09, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support IMO there is no large areas without details, so it is rather bright, but not overexposed. --LexKurochkin 06:15, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support per others. -- Ikan Kekek 06:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support per others.--Moroder 17:26, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per MIGORMCZ. Furthermore, the distorting wide-angle perspective is inappropriate. --Smial 10:42, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
    •  Comment I had some doubts about perspective and for rather long time looked at it both at full resolution and as a whole image, I am not sure that it is a perspective problem. The subject looks very old, damaged and possibly it was not ideally aligned from the very beginning of its long life. --LexKurochkin 14:22, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support seems ok for QI Rhododendrites 04:12, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
Total: 5 support (excluding the nominator), 2 oppose → Promoted   --A.Savin 01:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Viadukt_von_Chaumont.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Viaduc de Chaumont, by Sadarama --Bobulous 16:50, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Sorry, but this looks overprocessed to me, especially in the green and dark areas. --PantheraLeo1359531 17:58, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support There may be some areas of overprocessing, but overall, I think this is an awesome photo and a potential good FP, so it's worth a discussion and maybe some edits that would make it acceptable to PantheraLeo1359531. Would you like to try some, Bobulous? -- Ikan Kekek 02:28, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  • @Sadarama: As this is your photo, could you please have a look at this discussion? Thank you, --Aristeas 09:15, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Comment Thanks, good catch. I had missed that this wasn't by Bobulous. -- Ikan Kekek 09:41, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Comment You are welcome. I spotted this only on a second glance, too ;–). --Aristeas 12:42, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support I tend to criticize overprocessing, and I am quite sure, that technically this image is  Overprocessed, but in this particular case the processing created a kind of synthetic masterpiece of photography and digital art. I support it as it is and I would suggest @Sadarama: to make and upload new image with different file name, keeping this version as it is. Thank you! --LexKurochkin 11:07, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Too many unrealistic colors for me, sorry. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 21:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose It could possibly pass for art, but for a static architectural shot, the resolution is quite low, which combined with the massive over-sharpening and exaggerated tonemapping results in a massive pile of artifacts. Sorry, this is not a quality photo, but somehow something else entirely. --Smial 10:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Total: 2 support (excluding the nominator), 3 oppose → Declined   --A.Savin 01:08, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Plantain_squirrel_eating.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination A plantain squirrel (Callosciurus notatus) eats while hanging upside-down on the bark of a tree. GerifalteDelSabana 16:56, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose composiition, background, crop --Charlesjsharp 22:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
  • @Charlesjsharp: could you elaborate, please? Three vague words — properties of pictures — seem rather vacuous. GerifalteDelSabana 08:05, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support I know Charles holds up very high standards and this is why I'm constantly trying to improve at animal shots. But back to topic: This a full resolution shot! However focus is a tiny bit of. The body is compositionally cut in half and the squirrel is slightly covered by the out-of-focus tree. On the other hand the composition almost focuses the viewer's attention on the head and cracking the nut. I guess stopping down the aperture would have helped with a bit more sharpness and especially depth of field. But introducing even more ISO noise. Did you already try to denoise a tiny bit e.g. with profiled-denoising? Despite these minor technical remarks, I think this photo is worthy of QI. --Etaped (talk) 11:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The background looks too noisy, the most of the body is not sharp enough. Sorry. On the other hand I do not see significant problems with crop and composition. --LexKurochkin 14:46, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Weak support I suggest denoising the background, but the general composition looks fine to me (compared to QI-standards). It's more clean and has a nicer bokeh than many other QI images of animals.Tesla - 💬 10:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support per others. --Smial 11:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Support Sure, the background is distracting, but I think it's still a QI. Why? A lot of backgrounds with distracting bokeh balls and so forth pass, and the squirrel is sharp enough at its real size on my 13-inch monitor. -- Ikan Kekek 12:28, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
  •  Neutral Yes, the background is slightly noisy, but it is a very smooth and absolutely not distracting noise. Yes, the squirrel's body is out of focus, and the fur on its head is not 100% resolved at full resolution, but it is detailed enough to allow one to distinguish individual trees reflected in its eye. This image definitely has some inner values which simply require some maybe drastic measure. I thus humbly suggest cropping out both the background on the right and the out-of-focus bark on the left, and then whittling down even more to concentrate on head, paws, and whiskers, with half a bokeh circle remaining above its ear. As I really like such difficult-to-attain-in-the-wild squirrel images I tested a square crop. This makes a significant step towards quality image commendation and as such appeals nicely to me and surely also to others. Just try an image size of roughly 3000x3000 pixels and you and others will hopefully agree. -- Franz van Duns 22:12, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per LexKurochkin. --Fischer.H 08:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
