This one is better organize, better lightning.Trongphu (talk) 01:18, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Oppose I know you retook the photo, and this one is an improvement, I'm just not sure this qualifies for the best of what we have on Commons. It still seems too much like a casual snapshot, perhaps it's better for a quality photo nomination. Missvain (talk) 03:22, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Well I did the best i can to show the Xiangqi table. It meant more than just a picture. Xiangqi is a most famous chess in Asian (i think) origin from China. I don't see any problem with the picture quality, it shows everything needed about the Xiangqi. If this one fail again by many oppose then i guess it's time for me to try my luck at quality photo nomination.Trongphu (talk) 07:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- OpposeBarrel distortion. And please notice that "FP picture" does not mean "better than QI picture". It is a common misinterpretation I try to fight again. The technical quality requirements are almost the same in both pages (maybe less severe in FP, because of mitigating circumstances, not allowed in QI). Maybe could it be interesting to read the two guidelines entirely. I think this one should fail in QIC page too, sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 08:40, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Comment -- Trongphu, featured pictures are "special" pictures, which not only should have excellent quality but stand out by their extraordinay beauty, perfection, rarity, value, whatever. You image is a plain depiction of a board, nothing more, and no reviewer will probably acknowledge any magic in it. I'm not sure it will pass the QIC barrier either, due to the tight crop and geometric distortion (due to the small focal distance of the lens). Another issue is the camera. Yes, it is possible to shoot a FP with a point-and-shoot camera like yours, but the odds are against it, due to the poor image quality given by the small sensor and image compression. Please take the example of my Eiffel Tower nomination below. It is a high quality very large picture composed of several individual images, taken with an expensive camera. Still it won't probably pass the FP barrier due to both quality (poor lighting) and composition (lack of magic) issues. Please don't give up, anyway. Go on practising, use this place to learn from our photographers and reviewers and ... try to get a better camera. Regards. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:16, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment I fully agree with Alvesgaspar. Especially when he says "Don't give up" !!--Jebulon (talk) 14:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- I feel like giving up already. There are so many things that i don't even understand what you're trying to say. I'm not even an amateur photographers or reviewers. I don't know much about camera and stuffs about it. Things are more complicated than i thought. I bet to understand all of these things i must take a class specific about photograph. Guess i just upload pictures for fun then since it's impossible for my pictures to qualify to any of these.Trongphu (talk) 21:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
