- I'm not far of your opinion. My goal is to provide always the more informations possible, but sometimes it does not work very well, and I know I should "sacrify" parts of pictures, but it is not in my mind, and I'm wrong...Do you suggest a crop like this one ?

Request Maybe you could add the "personality rights template" in the file description page ?--Jebulon (talk) 17:44, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Done But imho she is not identifyable on the photo. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:00, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Jebulon is right, she is. Tomer T (talk) 18:06, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I tried it several times but didn't come to the conclusion that this composition is really featurable. I don't observe any harmony between the girl and the background. Is she actually posing? it doesn't look like that to me. Maybe that pose makes somehow sense from a different angle, no clue. Btw, it is blueish, you should increse the temperature a bit. Regarding personality rights, please, go ahead, is it allowed to stay there? I know the place and don't remember such an spot. Poco² 21:51, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Poco for your careful review. First: I've uploaded a new version with slightly modified WB, but I think WB is OK (even a bit too warm when you take the sun side of Half Dome as basis).
  Some background information to the photo: The rock where the girl is sitting looks more dangerous than it is - it is far from being dangerous :) The "rock" is about 1 meter high and is easy to go there. It is located on the public accessible part of Glacier Point, it is like a podium. The clue is that behind the "rock" there is no deep hollow (as the choosen perspective pretends) but just the normal visiting point where other tourist walk around :) The idea for the photo was: A lot of tourist (also me) go there and pose in front of Half Dome and take a photo. I saw this girl there during her friends were photographing her and asked if I can also take a photo. To the composition: For me there is a lot of tension between her and Half Dome. The curvature of her body corresponds to the curvature of the Half Dome - I tried to capture this moment. Also the sun lightens her well - head and legs are bright, her shirt is in shadow. I hope you understand my motivation of the nomination and the context of the photo better now?! --Tuxyso (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  Add: On this photo you can see the "dangerous" situation quite well. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks to you for the detailed explanation and motivation, still, I'll keep the opposing vote. Poco² 13:49, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - No problem. Just to be sure: Your only remaining reason for opposing is missing Wow of the composition, right? --Tuxyso (talk) 13:54, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - No wow at all due to the fact that this composition is IMHO artificial, looking at the picture I don't see the harmony you seem to observe, even after your explanation. She on that rock is rather a disturbing element to a nice background Poc o² 17:24, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support wowww. Impressively and dangerous. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:54, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Poco a Poco. Although the image is technically good, I don't find the theme or composition featurable. Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:53, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support because this is the closest I've ever seen (and for that matter may ever see) anyone come to properly imitating a Maxfield Parrish "girl on a rock" illustration in a photograph. Really ... you should have had her dressed like one of his models, and just gone wild with the color saturation and the light on the rocks. Daniel Case (talk) 05:09, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Daniel for your informative comment. Up to now I have not known these illustrations, but you are right there are some similarities :) --Tuxyso (talk) 11:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (weak) I really like the interplay of different surfaces: brown beach, water+beach with a nice diagonal line and white parts, water with a gradient from green to blue. My opposing reason is due to the person walking there. Her white dress creates imho not enough contrast to the white water parts beneath her and thus the walking person does not work as central compositional element for me in that tiny size, sorry. Nonetheless quality and idea is very good. Probably a black dress and a white bag had been perfect :) --Tuxyso (talk) 17:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The file descriptions are very short and for some of the images only a file description in Estonian is given. A size scale is neither provided in the images nor in the file description, though at least some of the images appear to represent different magnifications. I understand that all images are electron microscopy images, being artifically coloured, but I don't understand the colour coding. Why is a yellow colour chosen for some trichomes while the others are coloured in green/blue/red? -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 11:51, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yes, thous are SEM images that have been artificially colored (technology uses beam of electrons, not light, and therefor allows no color), but the images have no specific color coding -- only goal seems to be to distinguish the trichomes from the leaf. I would view it as both modern art and as scientific contribution. Even the author is know for both of his scientific work and from photography (example). I asked from author to add the information about the size of the structures on the images. As additional information I might point out that this series (and there where some other images as well, that I didn't included to this nomination) won the Estonian Science Photo Competition 2013.

Comment What are you exactly opposing? Are the images bad or you just don't like that there's a 5 of them? And how should I choose if they are "five similar images"? Btw there where more images uploaded by Heiti, but I already choose the most different ones to show how different the trichomes can be. Kruusamägi (talk) 17:53, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Light is excellent as usual with your shots but imho the composition is unbalanced. I guess that you would like to take the nice "onion dome" at the very left into the picture. But the problem is that the church, your main motive, is turned to the right image border and thus creates due to its right placement an unbalance. --Tuxyso (talk) 17:40, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Sure, Annie Leibovitz can't handle exposure; should stick to "auto" :-). Come guys, you make fools of us. Nasa usually give us this sort of bland studio portrait and now we get real art and we can't spot it. Per Kleuske, the lighting is fantastic. She jumps out the screen in her red uniform and the eye is instantly drawn to her no-nonsense face. No wonder Nasa chose this image to publicise an exhibition of their Art program. -- Colin (talk) 10:13, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment That Annie Leibovitz took it does not give the image a pass here. Yes, she is famously talented. But even extremely talented artists make crap sometimes. Are "Do You Want to Know a Secret" and "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" towering achievements in popular music because the Beatles recorded them? Is Topaz a classic film because it was directed by Alfred Hitchcock? Daniel Case (talk) 17:33, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - You miss the point (though the photographer is famous enough for us to consider this work in the "Artwork" category to be honest). You agree with Alchemist that Leibovitz underexposed this picture? Are you now saying this is "crap"? -- Colin (talk) 18:11, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have the right to dislike the work of a sacred cow, and I have the right to write my disagreement here. To me, this picture is full of flaws, regarding our usual criteria.

  - If the Internet makes you brave enough to ridicule a pro portrait photographer for not being able to expose or crop her pictures properly, then you should have thick enough skin to take what reaction you get. Yes you are more than entitled to your opinion and to stand by it. I agree there are no sacred cows and even pros take bad or mediocre pictures at times. Review, discuss, challenge, think. If you just want to vote and run away, then the unwatch button is up the top-right. And, yes, a happy new year to you to! :-) Colin (talk) 14:42, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I did not ridicule anybody nor anything. Are you suggesting I am a coward ? I'm afraid you are going a bit too far, dude. If the Internet makes you brave enough to (try to, without any success) ridicule me as an amateur photographer, feel free. No offense: I am an amateur photographer. (Not exactly the same meaning in french, less pejorative). If you are soooo politicaly correct to think that any work, because of made by a well known photographer, is obviously good, feel free too. I agree: think. Your first comment, dear Colin, made me have a strong reaction because you say, in other words: 1) this picture is good, because of made by Anne Leibovitz, therefore, shut up. 2) who are you, poor insect, to contest the Nasa choice for its Art program. And you suggest me to "think" ? "Think" yourself too, by yourself. And many thanks for your wishes.--Jebulon (talk) 23:51, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Jebulon, I haven't said anything about "amateur photographer" (that's Kleuske below), and your points 1 and 2 are not what I said at all. There is a difference between commenting on a work to say what you like and dislike, and commenting to say the photographer made a basic technical mistake like "underexposed". You might not like the lighting effect here, and you may hate it enough to oppose based on your own tastes, but you claim Anne Leibovitz, one of the worlds top portrait photographers has made a basic mistake. And also, when picking the which image to use from her shots, she picked the faulty one. And then NASA chose to exhibit this faulty photo and to lead with it in their publicity. This is all too much. I suggest you stop digging and consider the oppose was badly worded. By all means say it is too dark for you or that you don't like the lighting effect, but please, "underexposed"? -- Colin (talk) 13:35, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Sorry, I do agree with Colin on this one. This is far more interesting than the bland portraits they usually take. This is an artistic portrait and you can tell that it isn't accidental that the photo is 'underexposed' in parts. Targeted lighting is a completely legitimate method and I think it's been executed very well in this case - the only question is whether you like it or not. As with any art, we're all entitled to make our own mind up about that, but the photo does not contain major flaws in any objective sense. Diliff (talk) 15:58, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I checked the file history, visits the source pages several times. Personally I don't like full body portrait; so prefer a half body one similar (but a bit more generous crop on bottom) to one in Flickr. But showing the full costumes may have more EV.

Does PD NASA overrides non commercial restriction imposed at http://www.si.edu/termsofuse/ ? J e e 03:41, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "half body" is just a crop someone made. The actual portrait has the same vertical size but is actually a bit wider. See this photo of it. It is interesting the white balance appears different in that photo and the colours more saturated -- but it is hard to tell what is right. Another photo from that set has Collins with her helmet off and two examples here and here look different to this. I prefer a less sickly coloured sky. -- Colin (talk) 14:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Notable work by a noted artist with historic significance. Targeted lighting to feature the upper body and face works great as a deliberate style, even if it's not to everyone's taste. -- KTC (talk) 14:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very good work. The people on the right look weirdly grey, but it's not distracting. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 15:23, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Very good scene and detail, and the brickwork at ground level show no parallax problems, which is hard to achieve. However, there's a glitch in the sky at the top (above the Shard). Of the three blurry people on the RHS, the middle one looks like a solid grey smudge has been applied rather than the result of overlapping frames or motion blur. I'd be very tempted to see what content-aware-fill can do with that, or see if you can rescue something from an individual frame. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I wasn't that happy with the grey smudge person but I was too far along the post-processing to go back to the originals as it was quite a lot of work (so many minor adjustments here and there as Photomatix doesn't provide consistent output for each frame - ie if one frame has a lot of sky, it tends to process it very differently to a frame with a lot of bright lights) so I spent quite a bit of work re-balancing it both before and after the stitching, which may have introduced the weird glitch next to the shard... Content-aware fill just makes a hash of fixing the person on the right side though. I don't think the image would suffer too much to just crop that section out completely. The smudge in the sky next to the Shard is easily fixed. Just need to decide whether to leave to start from scratch again or crop. ;-) Diliff (talk) 16:53, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - You do the HDR on each frame before stitching? I can see how a tone-mapping program might produce wildly different output for each frame. Is the alignment not good enough to process HDR after stitching? -- Colin (talk) 16:59, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I typically do process each frame individually prior to stitching. I can see how it might be useful to stitch first and then tone-map afterwards, but you lose the ability to remove ghosts using Photomatix if you let the pano stitcher (Hugin, PTGui etc) do the HDR-file creation. The ghost situation would probably be far worse if I hadn't eliminated them prior to stitching with Photomatix. Once the HDR file has been combined with PTGui, they'd be one big swirly smudge... Swings and roundabouts I suppose. I'll try the stitch-first-then-tone-map method on this scene and confirm. Diliff (talk) 17:13, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Seems to have been a success. I've uploaded the new version over the top of the old. Hopefully it's not introduced some new glitches that I've somehow missed. Diliff (talk) 18:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Nice composition, good light and interesting motif. Who dares to enter the hut? Seems to be a fragile construction :-). But too much is blurred due to long time exposure and inappropriate aperture (f/5.6 is not suitable for a landscape image with foreground). The blurr is OK for the water, but almost all leaves, parts of the hut and mountains are blurred too. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 09:57, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice place and composition, but oversaturated and not sharp enough. Some parts are too strongly denoised IMO.--Jebulon (talk) 14:57, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support (weak) I fully agree with Norbert, f5.6 was not a good choice but the compsosition and light justifys my pro vote. To the sharpness: IMHO sharpness has to be assessed with regard to the resolution. In the case here we have full size D800 resoultion. If you zoom out 2-3 steps in Firefox the water part and the house are incredible sharp. For me it is a bad habit to scale down and make an image "sharper" rather to leave it at sensor resolution. Although a photo looks sharper after downscaling you loose nonetheless information. --Tuxyso (talk) 17:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice silhouette, nice sunset but ... I have no idea what I'm looking at and why it's important. So I look at the image and see it's supposed to have something to do with a rail line in Vienna. OK, what does it tell me about the rail line that serves to illustrate useful information that might be imparted in an encyclopedic article (something which this image is currently not used for at all)? Also, frankly, as an image itself it's just too cluttered, between the stuff on the tower and the wires running across it. Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is the Overhead_line#Tensioning, a very essential part of a power cable. I think the structures and details are even better visible in this silhoutte than in an ordinary picture.

Delist Blur, and looks oversaturated to me. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 15:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist This is a tired debate and folk who don't believe in delist should seek to abolish it by consensus rather than disrupt the voting. Is this among the finest on Commons? No. Look at the Category:Monument Valley. When there are dozens of better pictures than this, then something is wrong if this remains featured. The only people who care whether a photo was featured in 2005 are the photographer, the nominator and perhaps a few voters. Nobody else gives a damn and would prefer if FP isn't cluttered by images kept out of vanity. Using the "sensor progress" argument is a fallacy, all that counts is what people take and upload to Commons. If the average photo that just anyone can take and upload is so much better than an FP like this, then who are we kidding? -- Colin (talk) 16:29, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Hard words. I didn't want to 'tire' anybody or 'disrupt' anything... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 21:35, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - But it is tiring to keep these debates for every delist. While we have a delist mechanism, votes here should be done in the spirit of that: that FP is the best on Commons, rather than a record of what was best at some point in time. This image is now among the worst on Commons. Please everyone take these other arguments to the talk FP page and debate there otherwise just abstain from delist voting altogether. -- Colin (talk) 15:42, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment ok, alright. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 17:36, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist Not convinced by the composition (overlap of foreground and background subject), slightly tilted, quality insufficient (independent of the year it was taken, since better resolution is possible with relatively inexpensive film equipment). — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 17:31, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Julian (and others), can a non-appealing composition be an argument for delisting an FP? OK, you have other quality arguments, but imho delisting an image only because one does not like the composition is not sufficient. During an FP process you will always find reviewers who do not like one or another aspect (like composition, crop, motive). But as stated on the FP page, delisting is done because [o]ver time, featured picture standards change. The compositional standards have not massively changed but mainly the quality standards (over-exposure, resolution, advances in image editing software). Thus compositional aspects cannot serve as only delist reason. Delisting cannot be understood as second regular review just with different reviewers compared to the original nomination. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - In this case, that doesn't matter because the other arguments are sufficient imo. In general, I don't know, but if (a significant amount of) people complain about a composition in a delisting-nom and didn't in the original nom, that tells me that the standards have changed, purely by observation. If that's not the case, it won't be delisted for that reason. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 16:23, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree that delist is not just another FPC round and shouldn't be used as such (e.g., you think we made a mistake). But standards can change in all ways. We sometimes make allowances that are no longer justified. But let's kill this "sensor progress" argument dead. For a start, this image is actually a slide that has been scanned. Look at File:Monument Valley (4998504149).jpg, File:Evening in Monument Valley (4077440899).jpg, File:Cowboy (4013367806).jpg, and File:Monument Valley (3871718849).jpg -- all shot with a D80 (launched 2006) or File:Monument Valley, late afternoon Cropped.jpg short with a D70 (launched 2004) or File:Monument valley.jpg taken November 2005. Some of these would stand a chance at FP even today. The delist image has simply been outclassed by better pictures, not by just better technology. -- Colin (talk) 16:42, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per Colin. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:43, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We need not delist all old FPs due to the technical enhancement of today. But we have a lot of low quality FPs due to lack of enough contributors (work and reviewers) on that days. So IMHO, we can delist a few of them. Remember, "This formerly was a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (Featured pictures) and was considered one of the finest images." will still remain on a delisted picture.

Oppose I think, this one is too similar to the other subway station photo, which you nominated below and which is is likely to become a featured image based on the already given votes. One featured image of this kind/type is enough considering the FCP critera. Also the mirror image of the photographer on the glass plate in the front is a bit disturbing. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 14:44, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree with Diliff, Colin and their arguments in the discussion above. As this is an image of a different station constructed with a totally different design, I think both images could get a promotion to FP.

- The other photo below is not of the same object. In that image, which is a panoramic view of the complex, the building is mostly obscured and you certainly cannot see it in any detail. The two photos are sufficiently different. Diliff (talk) 16:11, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well both photos are in same wiki category and show buildings of the same building complex. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 16:49, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NorbertNagel, we often have several featured pictures of the same subject, sometimes even the same angle of view. This view and the other are different enough that many would not even suspect they were the same building. So please strike your invalid reason for oppose. -- Colin (talk) 16:54, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, that we have different opinions on this topic and that it may have happened earlier that several pictures of the same subject have been featured, but this does not mean that my position is invalid. I ask you to respect my opinion as I respect yours. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 17:38, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are suggesting this is how FP should operate, which is a question beyond this individual picture. The idea behind FP is to select the best pictures on Commons, not the one best picture. I can respect differing views on one picture but if you want a different FP from the rest, then you need to get consensus for that change. I can also respect your view of how FP should work, but fundamental shifts such as this may be considered disruptive change is suggested by voting at the image-level. You've chosen a rather bad example to make your point. We do often oppose or go neutral on images that are too similar to others (especially recent) but never because it is the same building, even from the other side. -- Colin (talk) 17:55, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Norbert, so if there is already one FP of an entire category, by your logic there should not be a FP of any other photo in that category? In this case, the category is for an office complex, and in that complex there are many notable buildings, each deserving of a FP IMO. As the two images are both clearly a different subject and a different object, the category they are in is mostly irrelevant. All it does is suggest that perhaps we could create more specific categories for each subject. That is not the fault of the image(s). Diliff (talk) 18:28, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Florian Fuchs (talk) 17:57, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
weak oppose: First: I've seldom seen such brilliant combination of HDR and stitching technique - probably the highest quality shots of that type we have on Commons - you master the processing of those images in a nearly perfect way. The same with the image here: The quality is far beyond QI average - I've only discoverd a small artefacts from stitching / fusing (see note). The reason why I oppose anyway is mainly due to compositional aspects: the different widths of the framing building at the left and right, diagonal elements on the floor starting amid the image and not going through the complete picture, the building at the right background distracts the symmetry, an unclean border of the right framing building and finally the different types of surfaces at the left and right which also distract the symmetry. All in all: This centered shot can for me only work with perfect symmetry which is distracted by several elements. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:34, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your comments. I agree with you that it could possibly be improved by centring the image so that the widths of the two surrounding buildings are equal. I left it slightly off-centre because I thought the tree would seem cropped otherwise but I concede it might be better. I'm happy to upload a centred image over the top of this one. I assume this is not enough to convince you to support however. I did take a similar panorama of this building another evening but I wasn't as pleased with the lighting as it was too dark. It may solve some your compositional issues. The view is from much closer so the building is more distorted, but the distracting foreground elements are minimised. What are your thoughts? Not as a potential FP candidate, but in terms of the composition. Diliff (talk) 22:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I prefer the closer view. I am personally a great fan of close shots of buildings because the lines and architecture are accentuated well there. See for example this shot I've photographed with a T&S optic. To your closer image: It is much better that the pyramid-shaped building at the right is hidden. But there are still distracting elements at the left and right. I would crop them out - see my proposal. But cropping is always a matter of personal taste. But you are right, light is better on the nomination. --Tuxyso (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I will see if I can revisit (for a third time!) and improve on both images with good composition and good lighting. As you say, cropping is a matter of personal taste. I try to 'let them breathe' (as Richard Bartz mentioned on another nomination) but sometimes it's just not possible. In this case, the building is cropped either by the framing or by the buildings - you can take your pick about which. ;-) Diliff (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support After the well-balanced feedback at the beginning, now my extreme opinion: I'm not so much in the portrait business and the slightly different skin colours in the face are a bit surprising (make-up?), but I would consider this as an clearly above average portrait of a concentrated looking musician with instrument.

Comment Needless offensive, assessment of Colin.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:03, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We find it easy to pick fault in some remote professional's donation (e.g., although well done and looking fantastic on preview, one of the eyes isn't completely in focus at 36MP peeping or similar fussiness). Here, because Savin is one of us, we were too kind last nomination by saying nothing and he has misinterpreted that when renominating. Or perhaps we are looking to make allowances. Why? Nobody makes allowances for one of our holiday landscape/building snaps being the wrong light or bad weather? I have a whole gallery of Scandinavian professional portraits, some candid like this and some posed, and many of them could be FP perhaps and many far better than this. Do a Google Image search on the "Isabelle Faust" to see how a good portrait of her (posed or playing) might look. Then come back here and consider if "very good in every respect" is a reasonable conclusion and whether my comments are harsh but fair. FP is supposed to be our very best and make us go wow with appreciation. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This blur is actually intentional and it the guidelines it is called "motion blur". the branches are moving in wind. If all the branches in the background were sharp there would not be enough contrast between the hut and the trees. I actually would prefer even more blurred background but it was quite windy and with longer exposure time I would have had some overall blurriness due to camera shake. I nominated this picture because I was encouraged by the success of another picture of mine also with large blurred areas that was unanimously elected to featured picture. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 19:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The blur is also to make the hut stand out, or it would just blend in with the background if everything is equally sharp.

Neutral With such a bright sun, I would have expected the snow to be much more white, not blueish-gray. Especially in the foreground and along the ridge top. Lupo 16:28, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Snow is never white, specially in a backlit photo. Thanks for the note --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 18:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say it should be white, but whiter. I think the foreground was underexposed because of the bright sun. Lupo 19:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is not underexposed, as you can see it still fits in the histogram, but it is a lot darker compared to the sun - I don't like HDR btw or at least I'm not comfortable with it ;-) --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:17, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Prefer this tighter crop and hence more simplistic composition. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Strange artifacts to the left of the cross (halo & shade, both even visible in the thumbnail), halos to the left and at the top of the foreground fence poles. These artifacts do not exist in the original nomination. Lupo 21:29, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done New version, thanks, you're right, oversharpening is certainly (one of) my biggest default. --Christian Ferrer 08:55, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, to my eyes, nothing much has changed. The fence poles still have the halos left & right, and the cross a slightly less noticeable halo on the left. However, I've given this image some more thoughts, and I must say I'd even oppose this crop being featured if these halos were completely fixed. First, I do think there's something wrong with the snow; see my comment on the original nomination. But more importantly, I feel that by cutting off the cliff at the bottom right you lose the vertical dimension. It's nearly as if the cross stood on some unremarkable hill. Lupo 16:28, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Too bad the snow is trampled. A nice fluffy snow cover would make it perfect. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather find out the pano SW... Poc o² 13:12, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's PtGui as you can see in the image description. Also Hugin is very good for multi-raw panos (leaving the stability issues aside) - I've compared the results of both programmes with different multi row shots. The key questions with Diliff's panos is which hardware (surely not computer hardware but camera hardware) is used. Pano head? Nodal point adapter? Special shooting technique? Would be interesting to hear something about that. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:17, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it is PTGui (and Photomatix) on the software side. I use a Nodal Ninja 3 panoramic head to avoid parallax issues. Diliff (talk) 16:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Shaky tripod? Or do people actually drive like that? Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 23:11, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to tell, the tripod is pretty robust but the location, in the 49th floor of the second tallest building in Vietnam, could be the cause. Anyhow, the picture itself is not "shaked". Poc o² 23:38, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It kind of looks like the shaking tails off at the end so it might be from the shutter actuation. I don't have a ton of experience with this kind of photography. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 23:55, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like this picture, composition is really nice. But it's blurred. Also quiet noisy but it does not bother me. I think ISO 100 was not a right decision. Exposure time 8 seconds is a lot and there is always some camera shake. ISO 200 or 400 do not cause too much noise. It would have given you a lot better exposure time and less blurry result. I also don't like the DoF. Both bigger and smaller aperture would have given better result. With big aperture and focus on the middle bridge would have given you nice bokeh at the distance. Smaller would have given you more detail at the distance. Average aperture has given you average result. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 12:12, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak Support Good, but lens flare on the right.--XRay ^talk 08:18, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CommentYes, it flares on the right but it does not affect to the general composition. You should note this is a huge image due to it is a panorama made merging 5 vertical photographs and the position of the sun is perfect to give light to the main entrance of the cave. I had to take a decission: to maintain in darkness the cave with no sun in the composition or wait until the best hour to take the pictures, that is, with light inside the cave (you can check the river entering inside) and the green valley. I preferred the last option.

Oppose Some very significant halos and a band of strange colour and noise that goes through the sky are problematic in my opinion. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 10:02, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Christian, if you see there, you will realize that most people who oppose against this zoomed image, liked each other, for example: Kruusamägi, said: "If it should be seen as a set, then I can't agree with the nomination due to the very low quality of the second image"and Julian H., who said: "Fully support the first one, but the second image has quality problems and I don't see a reason for nominating this as a set."

Retouching errors fixed, more noise and less sharp. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 16:43, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't agree with what you said about the noise and sharpening. I don't notice any losses in details. I could do without any but then the sharpening and no-noise fans would mind. I agree what you said about the composition. It's not the best to capture it from left because you can't go far enough and so the bell tower would be distorted to a degree that cannot be fixed. Haven't seen any better solutions in Commons. My idea was to show the whole square with the bell tower and the statue. If the intention is to show only the cathedral then it's the best from left. Will try to fix the area you don't like. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 12:21, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Technically well done near to perfect. You managed a difficult light and shooting situation very well.

Probably you can provide some background information about your rationale for this decision. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:30, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What may I say ? Only this : please, read carefuly the nomination and the file description page... Of course the blind background is intentional, in order to focus the attention on what I want to show. I hesitated with a .png version with only a round pic and no backround at all. My goal is to question the reviewer too. "Is it a plate or what ? Oh no, wow, it is a ceiling !" Anyway, sorry, This is not a "painting", but a mosaic. Of course we all have seen the picture you links. The "context " you mention is out of scope (i.e. Else than the mosaic, and not by Raphaël), as I was just centered under the drum, there is nothing else to see, except, as I already wrote, distractive lights from windows, and other architectural concentric "circles". And I wanted to hide all little parts of the paintings/frescos if any visible, only distractive (and again, out of scope). But you understand this very well, I'm sure, even if everything is always discussible without end, of course.--Jebulon (talk) 00:49, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose No offence Christian, but I think most of your nominations belong at QI. Please can you explain why the viewer should go "wow", which is necessary for FP. -- Colin (talk) 13:38, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No offence Colin, but can you explain the question? Do you ask me to convince the viewer to go "wow"? Because I can't do that, I am not a carpet salesman! If my photos are for your eyes of a status insuffisant, you can pass your way or oppose. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:06, 05 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Convince" is too strong and not what I asked. I feel many of your nominations are technically ok pictures but lack "wow", or even any clear subject. Why do you go "wow" when you see this picture. If you can't express your own amazement at the picture, why should anyone else be struck by it. Thanks. -- Colin (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Colin, I could very well say why I find it wow, but I prefer to let each make the own opinion each. Good state of mind, isn't it? -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 21:38, 05 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I find it odd why on Commons FP people don't give a rationale for their support/nomination like they do on en:wp. We are left with a picture and to figure out why it is special. A really special picture is obvious and gets 10 supports before the next day. Sometimes it takes some help to know why something is good - it isn't obvious. But also, if you can't explain to others why it is special, then I feel you shouldn't nominate. Seriously, Christian, why is this special? You might not convince me, but you might convince someone else to support. -- Colin (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you or someone else see nothing special in this picture, maybe it is not special and do not deserve to be promoted, I choose to let my photographer's talents to convince you. Is it so bad? Sorry if my pictures irritate you or someone else. I work hard to improve and I consider good to use my current and future actives nominations to make you share my work and my "extraordinary photos of landscapes". -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:06, 05 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Qafa e Valbonës, or Valbona pass in Albania connects the town of Theth, located at Theth National Park in a valley formed by the Shalë river with the town of Valbonë in Valbonë Valley National Park. This photograph was taken in October 2013 on the Valbona side at about 2/3 of the ascent to the top of the pass. It shows the mountains surrounding Maja Grykat e Hapëta, which is one of the highest mountains of all of Albania.

Oppose Yes, it is too unsharp, and maybe a little bit noisy. But as it is your first nomination in FP, I think you deserve more feedback: my opinion is that except unsharpness, this picture is very good. The colors are nicely contrasted, the white balance is good. The composition works very well with the mountains, the valley, and the transversal foreground. The landscape is appealing and eye catching. And we have not so many good pictures from Albania.

Support I disagree concerning the horizon, I think that in a 180+°-panorama (almost 360 here?), the horizon is the main horizontal element in the photo and the panorama rotation axis should therefore be aligned to that.

- I don't think that DR established anything other than what most people write at DR is a completely uneducated guess. -- Colin (talk) 20:52, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- odder, it is exactly as Colin pointed out it. As is often the case at DRs like this the result is without case law or even a legal opinion to back it up. In this case the outcome was very disrespectful of the photographer who created the conditions that allowed these photos to be created. There are some jurisdictions where even the monkey could be imbued with the copyright as its creator. Regardless, in absence of actual case law, legal opinion, or even an informed one, it would seem the precautionary principle would be the best approach instead of participating in a self-serving rights grab. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:12, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - It isn't uncommon to have nature photographs triggered by the animal passing some light beam. Or lightning photographs triggered by the flash. Or a camera installed to take pictures periodically. These presumably give loads of duff shots and some person chooses the decent ones and works on them a bit and publishes. And we really have no idea what processing the photographer did of the raw shots. We wouldn't have this photograph if it wasn't for that photographer. Morally, I think the photographer (the person who owned the camera and "developed the film") has some rights to it, regardless of whether law has anything to say on the issue. -- Colin (talk) 23:24, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

        What is the point, odder, if the project only cares about copyright law? I just don't think this is anything to be proud of. Now, if the human photographer wants to donate the image CC then I'd support one of these. Has anyone asked him? After all, the Internet has stolen his picture already. -- Colin (talk) 16:05, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been in contact with the photographer and he indicates that the first time this image was uploaded to Wikimedia he requested it be taken down and it was. He is quite unhappy it was re-uploaded and asserts his copyright over this image and is seeking legal advice to escalate this further. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is quite a serious issue. If that what you state above is true, those three images should be suggested for deletion asap. Sandstein and odder are OTRS members, with the result that their real names ( + probably the adresses) are relatively easily ascertainable. I think none of both would be pleased to be taken to court by a photographer who claims copyright on that pictures and has a real chance to have it adjudged. --A.Savin 21:29, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It makes no sense to me to sue individual volunteers. If somebody has doubts about the PD rational, he/she can start a DR and the community will discuss and decide. Also the photographer is able to contact the WMF legal department. If they think he is right with his claim, they will remove the files. Sueing an individual volunteer instead of contacting WMF will fail in most jurisdictions I guess. Jcb (talk) 21:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on this process, but the deletion discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Macaca nigra self-portrait.jpg resulted in keeping the image, and as discussed there other media organizations have also refused to recognize copyright claims in this image. Sandstein (talk) 21:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A glorified blog whose underlying mantra articulates that "I want a PRINCIPLED Free Culture Movement" is to be trusted as a reliable "media organization" when it comes to the discussion of copyright, given their disdain for the photographer in this case, is quite a dubious position to take.

I like the composition with the nomination at hand. You can fully concentrate on forms, structures and light/shadow parts :) --Tuxyso (talk) 20:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- I still find this argument rather strange. With this argument you could delist a lot of FPs, e.g.
  File:El Taj Mahal-Agra India0023.JPG / File:Taj Mahal N-UP-A28-a.jpg / File:Taj Mahal, Agra, India edit2.jpg / File:El Taj Mahal-Agra India0023.JPG
  
  In the case if you have exactly the same perspective, with the same framing, with the same objects and with similiar light I can follow your argument. But I see no reason to have different very good shots from the same place. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:29, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your comparison with Taj Mahal is not very relevant as people need different views of such a famous site. I am tempted to consider these two works as separate as the previous FP is about a particular spot (Heart formation) and this one is a generic view. But we can't blame the opposers if they are a bit selective, considering you have several successful FPs of this particular place. J e e 05:37, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question - How sure are we that the painting of Shiva is de minimis? Looks borderline at best to me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They are reproductions of ancient arts/concepts; so no one can claim copyright for them, I think. We made such a conclusion for similar works, earlier. J e e 05:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the gist of the discussion from what I've read. Lets say I take Vishnu, and depict him in a new way, perhaps inspired by public domain works and in a similar style. The new poses, backgrounds, etc. would still draw a new copyright. Otherwise every depiction ever published of any public domain figure would also be public domain, which is certainly not recognised. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree; but most of the "components" I'm seeing on those pictures (including two small pictures on the stick) are very common in India. They are heavily re-printed and sell on roadside for a price of their printing cost. The watermark we are seeing there is that of the re-publisher. Here, in India, we use everything for free, including Microsoft Windows. :) J e e 06:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, it's very similar in Indonesia ;-). However, as the servers are in the US, and US copyright law is a bit stricter, I'd want proof that this print is already public domain before supporting (unless, of course, we determine that it is de minimis). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Good details on the focal point; but the stem, leaves, etc. all OOF. The first comment I got when I started posting at whatplantisthat was "although abstract works look beautiful, they are less useful for us to describe the subject."

Oppose Darkening the sky if it is very bright makes sense to me. Making it even darker if it's dark already doesn't. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 14:30, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Gradual filters are a quite commonly used in landscape photography. Sky is dark? By far not dark. You can see the sky in histogram. I prefer some texture in the sky and not the solid light gray surface. I know that at such high latitudes where I am living I should not even take may camera out of the bag from October till March because there is just not enough daylight and only few days with clear skies but I am stubborn and I am capturing photos in winter and am using different techniques to make these photos look close to what is captured by human eye. Sky is dark only at night. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 22:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The main problem I have is that the reflection of the sky in the water is brighter than the sky itself (in the photo) which can never happen in reality and looks wrong to me for that reason. Some darkening is ok, I frequently darken skies myself, but it's very far from being white and losing texture here, so I just don't see the necessity. It's entirely your decision though, only a question of taste. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 10:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm flattered that you like my photo, but the same problem exists as with your Brasilia nomination: the purpose of a set is not to choose a few representative examples from a gigantic category of loosely related things. Examples of acceptable sets would be four pictures showing the metamorphosis of a butterfly, the eight pages of a pamphlet, or a pair of pendant paintings. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose Sorry; set is not intended for these types of sets. We already had a similar discussion recently while some one nominated a "birds" set with 16 pictures. We have a difficulty to present sets in POTY and the current consensus is to preset only the first or best picture in a set (the nominator can decide if he/she prefers) and mention others in description.

~~Oppose~~ Restoring scratches, blemishes, etc. went quite well, and applying a black background is a good idea. As the high resolution original reveals, the colours in this nomination are a tad too bright. Assuming the original faded over the years it's quite reasonable to apply some sort of brightening and contrast enhancement. I'd be glad to support an improved version. The book's binding (and the resulting bend) is always an issue, but I think it's fair to assume that separating the original is not an option.

Support As some may know, the "Community" nominates me as a kind of specialist of restoration, and of this special book. No one have any idea of how such a restoration is difficult, and needs time and care in post-processing. Far much more than for any photograph here around. And this one is very well done. Yes, the brightening is maybe a bit strong (faces), but illuminated books, especially made for a Queen, were painted with "harsh", and flashy colors, with exagerated contrasts, in order to remain colorated for years or even centuries. Remember that this was painted around 1500; 500 years ago ! And we kept enough of original colors, to be able to restore almost how it was. Look, one can see the brush marks ! So, I support strongly this picture of the famous two brothers, patrons of med. doctors. My advice: add a bit of darkness, and reduce the brightness a little, then adjust the contrast.--Jebulon (talk) 09:15, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New file uploaded. I understand Chistoph Braun's arguments ( he's an expert too) but I think Jebulon, who worked on this book before me, understood what I tried to do : I wanted to show the picture as it could be seen by Anne de Bretagne the first time she had a look at it... I know it's difficult and probably impossible but it can be honestly tried, especially with somebody else's advice. So I've modified a bit my first picture according to the upper appreciations. I hope the difference with the original is now not so big as it was previously.--JLPC (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not do so as the image was up for FP, and thus (in case there were issues) I wanted others to have a chance to easily compare them. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:46, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Understood. You did an excellent job of repairing the large scratch but otherwise the two images are identical, hence my suggestion. Saffron Blaze (talk) 00:04, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I was referring to the de-artefacting I did on the JPG, actually. A little bit of detail appears to have been lost. I don't think it's a significant amount of detail, but others may disagree. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:27, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (weak). The image is technically without flaws and winter is the best time to take a photo from this side. But I have looked several times on the image to find something special. It is carefully composed, light is good but it looks imho rather flat due to the centered perspective. I guess a perspective as on this image is much better and has more FP potential than your back view. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:02, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question Some feedback is appreciated. No wow? Quality problems? Compositional problems? I like the photo and it is (at least for an average European) relatively spectacular to have a bridal couple in front of such a nice skyline. I think this photo is also educationally interesting because it shows a typical action of a wedding photographer - placing the couple in front of a nice background. Where is room for improvement?

Neutral shouldn't there be a "personal rights" tag? The facial expression of the spouse seems to tell me, that he dislikes the presence of an additional photographer. The bride looks like weeping.

Oppose I am not fully convinced about the DoF (but not the main reason for oppose). But the photo is definitely too dark, look at the histogram. approx. +0.8/+1.0 in LR. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:21, 10 January 2014 (UTC
- Comment According to guidelines: Images can be on the low side of the tonal curve (low range), the middle (middle range) or high side (upper range). Definitely not too dark. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 08:12, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Surely can an image be on the low side of the tonal curve but it depends on the motive. With this motive I see no obvious reason for a tonal curve with an emphasis on the low side. Please load this image into any good image editing programm and make your own judgement and do not only cite the image guidelines to argue against my assessment. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:08, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Size is definitely better with the new version, but at a moment I don't see that this addition in size will add much to the image. It doesn't bring out new details. Kruusamägi (talk) 15:24, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; there is a huge size difference. But I failed to understand your intention here. From the EXIF, I assume both are same work with background retouched in the first nomination. But there is no such information give there. Personally I discourage delist and/or replace if the benefit are marginal as there is a lot of background works we are doing for every FP (including the silent work by Thierry Caro to categorize them properly).

Oppose Histogram is all squashed together at the bottom; image is way too dark. Judging from the shadows, this was taken in harsh sunlight, so it should be much brighter. Would support a version with corrected levels. Lupo 11:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Compare with File:Chevrolet Malibu 1977 Color.jpg! Something went wrong when this was desaturated. The B/W version has a completely different histogram. If re-done, would need to start afresh from the color version. The color version, however, has a problem in the sky where I placed the image note: it's way too red there. Remnants of this are still visible in this B/W version. Lupo 11:52, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done Thanks for your comment. Sky is fixed --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 12:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  Thanks, sky is better, though that mountain looks a bit artificial (very straight mountain slope). Also, the bushes there are now heavily blurred, and that sign has gone, too. What is it with that top left corner anyway? The color version also has been photoshopped there. Why? How did this corner look in the original, and why do you feel there's a need to photoshop that corner so heavily?
  
  Unfortunately, the histogram in this B/W version is still badly skewed, making the image way too dark. Lupo 13:10, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done The montain in "original" version is really artificial. I built photography based on another of the same montain, I think that histogram is fixed. Nice review --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the histogram still looks the same. It's shifted to the left, topping out at about 200, with the range above basically empty. The distribution is completely different from the color version. I tried desaturating the color version myself: a little gamma correction in the highlights, bringing the gamma down a notch to bring out more details on the ground in the foreground left, and then a luminosity-based desaturation. That gives a, IMO, much better balanced B/W picture. But of course, it still has that problematic upper left corner from the color version...

The mountain is now really better, but again this rather heavy-handed edit now lost the left half of the triangular sign on the pole, and gives a strange effect where the shrubs to the left of the pole are dark, and immediately to the right are very bright. If you could upload a color version with the original, unedited upper left corner, I can give this a try myself to produce a B/W version.

I like this image, but I also think the less editing is done the better. Lupo 16:24, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're becaming maniac with the histogram, I invite you to see image itself. There is no perfect histogram, each image has a different exposure which creates a different histogram. A perfect histogram kill artistic compositions --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 17:19, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not a maniac. I find the image too dark and too subdued, and the histogram and especially its comparison with the color version tells me why. But you're free to disagree, of course. Lupo 20:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- What happened? The lights were just extremely bright and with a stopped down lens, you often get those star patterns around the light sources. I used an aperture of f/13 so that the whole scene would be in focus. It's quite unavoidable. It could be minimised by using a wide open aperture, but then the image quality would be much worse so it is a sacrifice worth making. I don't mind the effect though.

- To say that no uncorrected perspective distortion should ever be QI, VI or FP is very narrow minded. I'm usually the first to correct it where it's appropriate to do so, but I don't think it is here. Some images have such a large angle of view that perspective correction is not appropriate. In the case of this image, one consequence would be much greater distortion in the stained glass on the sides. Diliff (talk) 09:25, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A potentially great picture has been spoiled by poor execution and post-processing. The room should have high contrast with the light outside clearly outside of the dynamic range of a camera set for exposing inside. The histogram indicates otherwise, with everything in the midtones. Here, the shadows have been lifted such there is no black (as it should be under the table) and lots of noise, and the whites/highlights reduced so much that the window is posterised and falsely coloured. The shutter speed is a little low for capturing someone who isn't holding a still pose. -- Colin (talk) 12:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Great picture without doubt. Maybe I'am a bit oldschool but in the earlier days of COM:FPC we had a maxime that a picture should be QI + VI + somehow special to become featured. This image seems to fulfill only the need of a "wow" picture, but nothing more in my opinion. Only recently I've noted that a lot of featured pictures aren't used in the whole project, what makes me sad somehow. FPC is going to degenerate into a cheap imitation of FlickR, instead of being a media file repository for making available public domain and freely-licensed educational media content. But don't worry I'am shure there will be a bunch of claqueurs who cheer up this image in their stoic manner, like they (nowadays) always do. Just my 5 cents. Regards 77.187.26.83 19:27, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Maybe I should leave it be but after you have humiliated everybody who have or would have given their support to this image I cannot keep silent. If you think this photo is not a featured then you can just show your opposition in a way that others do. I am sure nobody will support the nomination because nobody wants to be a claqueurs. Nice move, you must be a politician. I don't know who you are because your comment was anonymous, but even if you are somebody really important, I must say your are going wrong with your statement. There are pictures that are not used in the project but it does not mean the pictures will not be used in the future. The scope of educational and useful content is not limited with your understanding of these things. People are different and they might find different photos useful. Your patronizing attitude towards me and some other users does not honor you. I don't worry about the voting, I have really nothing to lose or win here. To be honest I didn't have high hopes about this photo to be prompted to FP. I leave it yours and others to decide. But I didn't expect the comment "only idiots will support this" either. This is not intelligent. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 21:58, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is no question about intelligence but rather fairness. Eagerly uploaders with "only" encyclopedic contributions will never get a chance to be honoured here. My intention to add my 5 cents isn't personally, nor I want to offend someone, but in my opinion the candidate carries that "wow at any price" thing too far. 77.187.168.116 22:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Besides my vote on QIC and the question wether or not an historic building mainly covered by scaffolding is really a good subject, I don't like the tight crop on the top and, the "floating" balkonies on the left and this perspective leading to a strong distortion of the towers top. Imo the view point of the previously used picture in de.Wikipedia was way better. --Martin Kraft (talk) 17:54, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The tight crop I easy can change. The balkonies I can retouche. The former pic is IMO not better because it has very disturbing parts on the left. But I have also a different view of this building. I will upload it the next days. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:50, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Of course the crop could be changed, but that should been done prior to the nomination. Once nominated, we can only evaluate an image as it is. Even with that improvements made, this image may be good but still not really extraordinary. --Martin Kraft (talk) 11:00, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree, the CA on the bottom left is stronger and worth tackling, whereas the "CA" that The Photographer has been edit-warring on the file-description-page to keep is essentially sub-pixel. -- Colin (talk) 08:13, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done CA removed, good observing Julian, haven't saw it earlier. The Photographer - I really cant help there, I cant see any CA there, if you could be more precise I could solve. --Mile (talk) 14:22, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At the Candle edge and over the scarf skirt bottle you can see

chromatic aberration, ie an aura of green and red. Still there --The Photographer (talk) 15:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's actually still strong CA in a few places in the highlights of the silverware. But on the candle and napkin the CA is at perfectly acceptable levels. The Photographer, sub-pixel-peeping a 16MP image is disruptive. Please stop. It will only encourage people to upload downsampled images and then Commons is the loser. If you want perfection, I'd be grateful if you could buy me a Zeiss Otus for my birthday. -- Colin (talk) 18:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am absolutely against perfection because it kill artistic pictures. However, I Will not a beginner's and important error pass becasue the Featured Pictures are the best pictures of commons. Somebody asked me a question and I answered. This error is perfectly correctable in one click with lightroom or photoshop and with some more in gimp. I do not understand how something so easy to fix can be this problematic. This error that you consider negligible, would not have passed the requirements of image quality (see image quality section in commons). If we allow this kind of easy corrected mistakes to pass, we should rethink about this section requirements. This section should use the requirements of quality images (and more), but now is being considered a section with lower requirements. I doubt that this would have happened in QIC. --The Photographer (talk) 18:33, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are making a "beginner's error" in thinking the amount of CA on that candle is in any way important. And this sort of fussing is harmful. Software tools can't guarantee to remove all CA and certainly not all kinds of CA and they do so by altering the image, which can be harmful to colour accuracy elsewhere in the picture. And such CA can only be fixed by the creator who has access to the source uncropped image and ideally the RAW file. Attempting to fix CA by editing a JPG or a cropped JPG may actually do much more harm than good. By all means point out minor flaws as a suggestion, but withholding support on the level of issue you annotated is rude and ignorant. -- Colin (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done red CA removal at serviette. Hope satisfied now, did it at 400%. I should say in start - photo is at full crop, no downsizing and hiding like some could or would do. Pixel peeping (among PD) is often done by hardcore begginers but its more domain on dpreview fanatics, but with time it come to normal behaviour. Judge with tolerance full sized photo, be harsh on downsized one. Have a margin for compact camera owner, and other for full frame owner. That would be my advice. --Mile (talk) 18:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Every CA still there. I added another note, you can see strong

chromatic aberration. I really love this image, If you wan, I could try fix it, send me a mail. --The Photographer (talk) 19:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done one more correction. For candle, none to see. I am glad you set new standards, just don't set something you cant follow. --Mile (talk) 21:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I make so bold. I uploaded a version with

chromatic aberration fixed, if you dont like this version, you could simply revert --The Photographer (talk) 22:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your version was based on an old upload so I've reverted it. Mile had already uploaded an improved version (with other quality improvements overall such as to background and stacking). His version doesn't eliminate the CA entirely but the worst bits are now much reduced. -- Colin (talk) 14:38, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

if this image is a 100% reproduction of this painting then "unfortunate crop" is an invalid argument --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:25, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly that's not completely true. The Nachtwacht by Rembrandt, for one, was cropped, which is still considered to be very unfortunate. Kleuske (talk) 12:03, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't seem to be cropped. See the version with frame. Lupo 15:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ Oppose The version at the Rijksmuseum has completely different colors. Also different and (I think) less noticeable cracks. This version here looks overprocessed to me. Lupo 14:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- acquisition matters a lot, a good acquisition can have brilliant effects very close to the oil color. It seems to me that it is not true the other image, but it will depend on the light. I do not think we can speak of "overprocesssed". thanks for reporting, very valuable, however. --Pava (talk) 19:28, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  Our version here gives the Rijksmuseum as the source. The direct link in the template on the file description page doesn't work, though, so I don't know if the Rijksmuseum did do two versions of this, or if the one I found was supposed to be the true source of our file. But if so, the difference is striking. I like the version now available at the Rijksmuseum better. Lupo 20:03, 20 January 2014 (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: strong chromatic noise, not correctible. Parts overexposed.--Jebulon (talk) 21:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The dog and foreground are very dark, despite background objects having clipped whites. This is also a problem in terms of composition, because the eye is drawn to the background with far more contrast, but nothing interesting in it. Additionally, I am not convinced by the sharpness anywhere in the photo. The pose and facial expression of the dog are nice though. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 10:38, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose with regrets, because technical quality is perfect. But I dislike the centered composition very much, with the vertical street and the horizontal line of buildings, I find the picture a bit "flat".

(talk) 16:48, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It only show a big grey rock because Vesta is a grey rock but although it is a big asteroid it is a small solar system body. May be you will find the wow in the fact that previously to the DAWN mission, this was the best image we had from Vesta so although it is known to exist for more than 2 centuries we finally could see it in detail. Last but not the least, "wow" is of course a very subjective criterion but IMHO is hard to be wowed by a Nebula when there are already 29+5 of them in FP and no dwarf planet, asteroid or even Neptune and Uranus. --G Furtado (talk) 00:20, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've been away from the commons few days. The problem with this almost 80 meters high church is that it is built on a small plateau on the top of a steep hill in a park with tall, old trees. It has been discussed before in FP (see also link to an aerial photo). So either I have to do like the image below or use an even more extreme wide angle (photo taken with 24mm on full-frame camera). Unfortunately I do not have access to any such objective, and it would require even more perspective correction.--ArildV (talk) 14:49, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Inded it's an other image, but of the same subject, from the same author, with the same material, from the same point, with the same regulations, with the same light (2 minutes of difference between the both), with the same edition, the only difference is 116 mm and 82 mm.

I so consider them as versions similar enough to be considered as reasonably alternatives. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this is "another image"... So you have three active nominations for the moment, my friend...--Jebulon (talk) 12:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only two can be promoted it is thus only two nominations, I find its rather similar to be considered as alternative and I do not intend to withdraw --Christian Ferrer (talk) 15:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Jebulon. Either nominate each individually or accept that only one can be promoted. For future reference, if I get the sense images are being uploaded just to wear down resistance I will oppose both. Saffron Blaze (talk) 04:15, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Saffron Blaze No problem, I understand, but I uploaded absolute whole lot of my images on Commons, but the lack of time makes that I cannot publish them quite at the same time. I did it this time because it seemed to me relevant because of the first comment. I believed to read in this page this sentence : "Happy judging… and remember... all rules can be broken". Specially in certain cases or the images are very, very similar. Here it is as a crop but for the better, there is no loss of resolution. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:06, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think an good image of that building would be a very good candidate, after all it was the tallest building in the world for some time (even if it had another tower back then). However, I feel that the image has some issues: First, there are remaining parts of white background that come from perspective correction (it shouldn't be a QI according to today's standards). Second, I find the sky somewhat strange: very mushy, detail overall also isn't great, you can see that eight years of camera development have passed since then. --DXR (talk) 17:21, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Honi soit qui mal y pense

@Taxiarchos228: Where exactly do you spot a "strong visible blurry area on the upper left corner (BMW museum)"? If that references to the turbulences caused by the the hot air coming from the chimneys beneath: That's physics and therefore unavoidable. Besides this blurriness isn't an mistake but a picture of reality, its only slightly visible at 100% and doesn't even touch the picture's main subject. --Martin Kraft (talk) 12:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Even if you are right because of the blurry area, this is not the main reason for my voting. We have here a boring and ordinary view, nothing special and nothing featureable for me. Please be polite and don't assume me personal stuff, otherwise you'll be mentioned at AN/U. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Pava: Hm, as far as I can tell, the Vierzylinder-Skyscraper is exactly in the focus plane?! Where do you see something off-focus?

And besides I am not shure, wether its worthwhile to extend a chrisp clear focus to the foreground trees, the only possibility to do so, might be focus stacking – The first tree is less then 1/3 the distance between me an the building ;) --Martin Kraft (talk) 11:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just answered your question, you asked me to be tax and I have been there. Then, in short, is the most obvious point of the building, which is not out of focus a cloud --Pava (talk) 22:11, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Pava: My intension is really not to argue – I'm just trying to understand, what you mean. And, to be honest, I still don't get it.

On my screen the skyscraper ist perfectly sharp. Maybe your browser zoom is activated and you are evaluating the image at more than 100%?! Btw. which "cloud"? --Martin Kraft (talk) 22:42, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see that logo out of focus, if other users see it on fire then I will not know how to read a photograph, but it seems to me clearly out of focus. It is a very important detail of the building, is not, for example, a cloud or other object irrelevant. But apart from this there is the whole band of trees that disturbs a lot to me.--Pava (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Pava: By now I'm in doubt wether we are talking about the same picture?! This is a 100% crop of the logo region from the picture above. That's sharper than many other pictures on this page at 100%. Besides the denoising this IMO is all the focus sharpness one could expect from a more than 10 year old standard telezoom lens at 140mm?! --Martin Kraft (talk) 10:28, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
