Comment You can either {{Withdraw}} one of your nominations (you place that template at the nomination and sign with the four tildes) or wait for the voting period on one of them to expire before you can nominate a new photo. --cart-Talk 12:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)- Comment Hey thanks for the warning, i just put {{Withdraw}} on 'Wester_reef_heron_kottayam_kerala.jpg' shall i remove the {{FPD}} on this one Deepugn (talk) 13:54, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- I've removed it for you and this nom is now active. --cart-Talk 15:31, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
Oppose - Not enough contrast for good viewing, in my opinion. Can't be helped, but not every motif can be an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)- Oppose I do not see any reason for nomination. --Karelj (talk) 10:55, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment It is understandable when some one says a reason for opposing a nomination, but saying you could not see any reason for nomination is ridiculous and not helping at all Deepugn (talk) 12:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I do not see any reason for nomination: small image, little contrast, not very sharp. Charles (talk) 20:07, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- On one point, wrt "small image" from Charles, the moon is 384,400 km away, which is a bit more than a bird or insect! Atmospheric issues, never mind optics, can make it hard to get a sharp image. There is no EXIF in the file, but compared to my own experiment this image was taken with a 500mm lens on a crop-sensor 24MP camera, so the focal length is equivalent to a 750mm lens on full frame. It isn't realistic to expect a longer focal length (of any quality) from consumer/enthusiast camera lenses and DSLR, so we can't expect more detailed images to be common. One would have to then get into serious astronomical telescopes to get a larger image. We have have a few larger images of the moon, though not always very detailed at 100%. It seems to be a subject where Commons is not well served. What I would like to see is (a) donations of high quality detailed moon photos by astronomers/researchers and (b) taking of more artistic photos of the moon that incorporate some other feature such as clouds, land or people. Combining the moon and stars is difficult without HDR approaches. -- Colin (talk) 13:25, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Colin's comment. There are plenty of good quality astrophotographs of the moon out there; we can wait for them to be nominated here. Daniel Case (talk) 20:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
