Question Laying an egg? A little over-saturated I think, though no flash recorded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Charlesjsharp: , that is not laying eggs. The butterfly is puddling on a bird dropping and excreting excess fluid (seen as a bubble) from its anal region which is a biological function of Hesperiidae and some other butterflies. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 04:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Info The kind of motif that many people would have missed but to me this makes a really satisfying photo - I love the colours with the rich ochre, blue and green, and the composition putting the door off centre is the right choice, there is lots of effective use of the rule of thirds here. created by Tilman2007 - uploaded by Tilman2007 - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 19:49, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good to see the library contains the life of Richard Burton. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:33, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charlesjsharp, the library actually holds the most prominent collection of Anglo-American literature in Germany. Based on the fact that George III (who was concurrently Duke and Prince-elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg before becoming King of Hanover) donated many books during his reign, and – much later – J. P. Morgan (who had studied at the University of Göttingen) made a big financial donation which paid for the purchase of even more Anglo-American literature. I worked at the Göttingen State and University Library as a software developer before coming to the United States and I'm still friends with many people, which got me access to this room during my trip to Europe in September this year. I wrote some of my early featured Wikipedia articles there, so it's somewhat close to my heart. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:06, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Info Bas-relief of Ramesses II on his chariot during the Battle of Kadesh against the Hittite Empire under Muwatalli II, south wall in the Hypostyle Hall of the Great Temple of Abu Simbel, Egypt. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel, which took about twenty years to build, was completed around year 24 of the reign of Ramesses the Great (which corresponds to 1265 BC). It was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the deified Ramesses himself. It is generally considered the grandest and most beautiful of the temples commissioned during the reign of Ramesses II, and one of the most beautiful in Egypt.

Ikan Kekek: The corridors are pretty thigh there, getting a panel of the whole wall is complicated, that's why I had to focus on Ramesses II and its chariot. The picture was taken in his temple, so I guess there is nothing wrong with that. Poco a poco (talk) 20:10, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yes, that is a public bookcase next to the Tallinn City Wall.

Oppose Beautiful blue hour, however the ghosts (6 people in the center plus 2 at the left) are distracting. It would have been possible to avoid them, either by waiting the right moment, or by taking 2 pictures, merged together afterwards. Moreover, I think this nomination promoted last month is showing the spectacular inclination of the building better. In this case, due to the point of view, the angle appears less explicit. We notice the edges are not vertical, but they give the feeling that "the perspective should be fixed", more than "the building is special" -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The blue hour is one of my appreciated time of the day to take pictures, especially architecture. In excellente architecture photography, the edges of buildings must be vertical. The most disturbing objects in this picture are the electric wires with the light bulbs -- Marc-Lautenbacher (talk) 23:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your subjective appreciation of the light bulbs is respectable, however, note that the building itself is not vertical in reality. Due to the inclination, it is named the Tartu Pisa Tower. But your feeling confirms mine: this specificity is not obvious enough, from that angle. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Mostly for the ghosts, but also the verticals on the building to the left are not vertical. BigDom (talk) 11:22, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- I might be biased here, but still: too much sky, and the ghosts are really annoying. Also, the crop of the left building is not quite good, maybe because of its (too) prominent placement, with the result that it looks "cut". --A.Savin 23:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I might have come down on the weak support side if I hadn't already seen A. Savin's picture of this same building, which in my view has a better composition and, surprisingly, better light - I like blue hour shots as much as the next man, but in this case I find it all a little too yellow.

Info Trajan's Kiosk, Philae, Aswan, Egypt. The unfinished hypaethral temple, currently located on Agilkia Island, is attributed to Trajan, Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD, due to his depiction as pharaoh seen on some of the interior reliefs. However, the majority of the structure dates to an earlier time, possibly to the reign of Augustus. The temple complex was located originally on Philae Island, near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt. The temple complex was dismantled and moved to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. The function of the 15.85 metres high kiosk was likely "to shelter the bark of Isis at the eastern banks" of Philae island. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 11:45, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question Appetizing with a beautiful light, but why has the cup been cut out so tight at the bottom? The coffee should be visible in full in my opinion. I will support if the crop can be improved -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Also support crop that includes all of coffee cup and would advise the shadow area in the coffee be lightened to show more detail. --GRDN711 (talk) 14:50, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose composition. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:12, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you crop it, crop it more than 1% (coffee). Since there are dounughts i would remove that on right side, just combo of plate + coffee. --Mile (talk) 10:13, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Info A tree covered and ultimately killed by kudzu, an invasive vine here in the US which can cover large areas, depriving plants and trees of sunlight. You can see the scope in photos like this one. I was attracted to this subject because the effect here is kind of monstrous, a figure overtaken by vines. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 04:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Ordinary pattern of a dead mass, in my view. Wild natural sites may be rare in New York, but in any countryside of the world, these sorts of vines wrapped around trees are very common. Here this heavy gray web is insignificant to me -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The linked picture is actually more impressive and shows the problem better. This photo lacks the wow effect although it is very instructive.--Ermell (talk) 11:36, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per above, sorry Poco a poco (talk) 18:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seems it depends on how we look at this photo (as often ;–). I first thought this was one of Cart’s photos – this bizarre dead tree immediately evokes associations of a bad witch, a giant insect or a monster, so it reminds me a lot of Cart’s point that we should not only depict beauty, but also the wicked and strange. The contrast between the gloomy associations of the tree and the glorious cloudy sky further enhances the impact of the image for me. --Aristeas (talk) 09:02, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Perhaps a VI, due to the way it shows kudzu creeping northward as a result of climate change, and actually as you and I (but perhaps not Basile) know, there are plenty of these open wild areas within New York City (Staten Island Greenbelt, anyone?). But it doesn't stand out enough for me to see it as an FP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Case (talk • contribs)

Comment Just to say that I am for edits that enhance a subject. Here the added vignetting (or haloing / clarity) around the tower definitely draws the eye towards it, which I like. But it might be overcooked a little bit (noisy on the edges of the frame). - Benh (talk) 14:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BTW: There is no vignette added. It's natural. --XRay 💬 15:18, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- my bad then. But it's really remarkable how the brightness drops around the tower. So I'm a bit surprised. - Benh (talk) 18:22, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a cloud in the right place. --XRay 💬 18:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks to Benh. I made some improvements in the sky (more noise reduction, colors). --XRay 💬 15:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support The tri-valley junction of the Doda and Tsarap rivers with Padum town, villages and fields in the valley. Late autumn in this arid high-altitude region, the evening sun low in the sky. Peaks in the Zanskar Range are about 6,000 m (20,000 ft), towering above the 3,600 m (11,800 ft) valley floor.

Info Wall of one of the north side chambers of the Great Temple of Abu Simbel, Egypt. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel, which took about twenty years to build, was completed around year 24 of the reign of Ramesses the Great (which corresponds to 1265 BC). It was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the deified Ramesses himself. It is generally considered the grandest and most beautiful of the temples commissioned during the reign of Ramesses II, and one of the most beautiful in Egypt. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose An interesting idea, as the filename suggests, and I don't blame the photographer but as all the other !votes make clear this just does not work (and it's not just the composition). With no supports beyond the nominator in five days, this nomination has no chance of passing at this point and it is past time for the nominator to withdraw it. Daniel Case (talk) 18:55, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support As per above it has no chance of passing, I agree, but I thought FPX was supposed to be used for photos that were clearly and obviously below the standard of FP or that were copyright violations. I don't think this falls into either category. The quality is a little on the low side and the colours don't seem quite right but I like the effort at an original composition, the motif is beautiful and the detail is sharp - this is a long way from an iPhone or Android pic that has no pixel-level detail and would deserve an FPX. I don't think it's perfect but I'd be happy to see it on the main page. And we have already had one other voter saying they would support if a change were made - again suggesting this does not fall into the 'so irredeemably bad it deserves to be FPXed' category.

Comment Exellent light, mood and composition. Because the verticals are almost vertical (we are not looking up or down), you may want to make them perfectly vertical (perspective correction); and you may want to correct the green chromatic aberration on the edge at the right. --Aristeas (talk) 18:33, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Info I will upload a new version tomorrow. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 19:52, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I agree with Aristeas, in that there are borders in various places that would ideally be edited out. I think this is a very good low-light photo, though, and the motif is interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ (Switching to Neutral per discussion below) My eyes keep drifting to that bit of boardwalk at the bottom. Looking at the location it seems possible to place the camera right at the edge of the boardwalk to capture a full reflection without any distractions. On the technical side, I subscribe to the shortcomings listed by Aristeas and would add low sharpness to the mix, seemingly caused by slight camera shake and/or diffraction. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 20:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Striking but ~~barrel distortion at the top~~, in addition to the other problems. I will oppose if this is not fixed -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Info Thank you for the comments. I have uploaded a new version. I made a perspective correction and removed the chromatic aberrations. I also adjusted the cropping so that more foreground is now visible. In fact, I even tried to get closer to the water. There it was difficult to get all the reflection on the picture. Also, the front step was so half submerged, which didn't look so good, see here. The roof in the foreground is actually round. It fits exactly into the roof of the building opposite, as you can see on satellite images. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 07:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, indeed that half submerged step spoils the reflection! The idea of matching the curvature of the foreground to the opposing roof is awesome, but I'm not sure it comes across as intentional without the accompanying explanation. One last point on technicalities: the chromatic aberration correction went overboard and left a thick orange border across the entire building. I see you use Lightroom, so would propose instead one of these corrections: i) using the Defringe tool with around 14 on the green amount and 62/84 on the green hue; or ii) using the clone stamp tool at max magnification to manually remove the green fringing. The latter produces better results but is a but time consuming. Happy to help further if useful --Julesvernex2 (talk) 08:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Info Thank you so much for your tips! I had already worked with the Defringe tool (after the automatic correction did not give good results): Now I have adopted the parameters you suggested. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 08:41, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're welcome! I still see the orange border but it's probably just a temporary cache issue --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:08, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      - Hi Julesvernex2. That is strange. They weren't there yet during the upload. But now I have also seen them and uploaded the file again. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 09:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        Yep, can see it now! --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Thank you very much, Matthias, for the new version! Perspective etc. are IMHO much better now. But I still see some orange areas at the right of the building, around the crane etc., even when I refresh the cache. That’s a pity because I really would like to support this photo. --Aristeas (talk) 08:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Good eye, Aristeas! Matthias, when I apply the parameters above (14 on the green amount and 62/84 on the green hue) I get slightly better results (e.g., no orange borders on the right of the building) but the crane is still not perfect. I think this will require a bit of manual cloning to solve, happy to help you with this if useful --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:05, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Dear friends, please have a look at the newest version. (Most of) the purple fringing is gone. CA removal is really difficult in this case, among other reasons because the image is quite colourful and therefore some usual “replace colour” tricks etc. don’t work well. But I hope we are making progress ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 10:28, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Facially, great! But it's rather soft all around, with CA still visible in places. It looks like it was a long exposure, which might explain this, but with incomplete metadata we can't tell so I don't feel like I can fairly !vote. Daniel Case (talk) 18:25, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Daniel Case. Thank you for your comments as well. Aristeas and I were working on the .jpg last time and must have overwritten the metadata when uploading. The settings were: f/16 at ISO200 and 30 seconds exposure time. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 07:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A good effort but I just don't see FP here. Overall, the building overall seems a little too dark, wtih muddy details. While the attempt at symmetry in the water is laudable, the boardwalk is disturbing. I did a test crop without it and liked the image better. If possible, consider going back to this location and making another attempt. --GRDN711 (talk) 22:00, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi GRDN711. Thank you for your comment. As I mentioned above: I tried different perspectives and decided on this one. Of course, you don't have to like it. But you should know that it was not created by chance. --Matthias Süßen (talk) 07:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support I would love to have seen more details, but I understand that it must be a limitation of the camera sensor --Wilfredor (talk) 16:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What limitation ? 5DS ? And anyway, nothing that can't be overcome with a tripod and even multi exposures shots. - Benh (talk) 20:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe that the 5DS sensor is capable of resolving as much detail as a modern sensor (dynamic range is another matter) so the limitation is probably on the lens (the 16-35mm f4 struggles with high-density sensors). Compared to the usual 20-25mp images we see here though, I think there's still plenty of detail. Diego, in any case, have you tried to fine-tune the AF? I've done it recently on my DSLRs, and the improvement is noticeable --Julesvernex2 (talk) 15:35, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment To be honest, I am really surprised that we are discussing resolution/level of details with this photo ;–). IMHO the detail level is absolutely fine when we consider that this is a single-shot, 3/5 seconds exposure at f/11 on a 50 megapixels sensor. Only few lenses will resolve more details on 50 megapixels, and not at f/11 (many modern lenses arrive peak resolution in most areas at f/4 or so), and the twilight also has its influence because it does not do justice to many small details with low contrast. Not long ago, in the time of 12 megapixels sensors, people would have gone crazy about the possibilty to capture so many details with a single shot … --Aristeas (talk) 16:02, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Every photo is a great opportunity to nerd-out :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:35, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Now that’s certainly right ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 19:42, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aristeas its a FP for sure, however, we are discussing how to improve the sharpness level, but this does not mean that we are ruling out the possibility of being FP. I know that prime or fixed lenses generate better sharpness quality. Poco a poco's photos are excellent, to be sure, but the sharpness level of Diliff, Colin and others are at a better density. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:42, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, when we consider the incredible expenditure Diliff used for his church interior photos, it’s no surprise that the sharpness is on another level. We cannot and should not expect or require that level. For “normal” (single shot) photographs, the most important things one can improve are the lens and the focussing, as Julesvernex2 has explained; and the stabilization, of course. --Aristeas (talk) 09:22, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with Aristeas here. I don't really understand this discussion, either. The image is out of a 5DS 50 MPx sensor without any downsizing, I just applied a crop to strengthen the panoramic effect and get rid of uninteresting sky. Diliff used a panorama head and took lots of frames for his awesome church interiors. Believe me, this was not the spot to do that, with tons of people around me trying to get a good a spot for selfies and if I had needed e.g. 30 minutes to take all pictures the lighting would have been very different between the first and last frames. In other words, panorama head approaches like those from Diliff work good in a church one hour long, but I guess that it would have been more complicated here. Julesvernex2 what problem do you see with the focus? and how do you fine-tune the AF? Poco a poco (talk) 09:40, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's a problem with focus per se. As mentioned above, there's plenty of detail on this image (certainly more than on the lower resolution images we typically see here), but I've seen sharper 50mp single exposures. The expensive way to improve acutance would be to buy a sharper lens. The more sensible thing to try first is to fine-tune the AF (or micro-adjust the AF, in Canon's lingo), to make sure you're getting the most out of your camera-lens combo. Here's one way to do it, but feel free to shoot me an email to discuss it further --Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:25, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if Wilfredor meant this, but the issue would be the exposure to me. Many details lost in the darker parts, and I personally like brighter night shots. If I had to review this objectively, it's a subpar night photo; with the horizon in the middle, the lack of brightness and yellowish WB. And I would also have to disagree when you say night cities views are not compatible with the "Diliff approach". He's proven that and there are plenty of other examples on Commons to support that claim. - Benh (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose On an aesthetic level, sorry but I find the color of this background 1. unnatural, 2. inharmonious, and 3. ugly, like in the previous nomination. My personal point of view concerning these artificial backgrounds displaying arbitrary colors like interior wallpapers is that they often ruin the charm of the natural subject depicted on the image. Flowers are living organisms met in particular environments, and these environments usually contribute to the elegance of the subject with textures, bokeh, gradients, etc. Distorting the context that way is like diminishing the value of the content. I understand the trick makes easier the potential retouches incumbent on the focus stacking process, nevertheless the result also spoils the visual impact compared to original natural compositions. By contrast, the color of the flower appears dull and fake here, in my opinion. Moreover, as part of the framing, I find the crop too tight at the bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:08, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Note: the main reason I photograph flowers on thin twigs in a wind-free place is that it is almost always windy in Friesland. Then it is impossible to take a stack of 33 photos without motion blur. The background I use is matched to the color of the flower. You take beautiful long exposure photos of waterfalls. How unnatural is that!?--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:01, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You sometimes manage to focus-stack flowers in their natural environment, like this one or that one, then the problem of the wind is often surmountable. Also, it is not an absolute requirement to make the whole plant in focus with multiple frames, when nominating a picture at FPC, a single beautiful shot with enough DoF can also produce a wonderful photograph, if the light is special. You're saying the flower matches the background color, but I don't think so, because this brown is too saturated. Thus "it steals the show". You seem to favor the technique over the subject, but is it a wise choice? Sorry but I have no idea what this flower looks like in a natural context, with this picture. And what about the transparency of the petals? Photographic technique is useful when the trick is at the service of the subject. But if the subject gets changed because the technique requires such artificial modifications, I think it is better to step backward, and to search for the essence again -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:31, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose That's a bit of a dissapointing quality for a daylight shot taken with a D5. I even initially thought this was shot with a cheap drone. Not sure what went wrong. - Benh (talk) 20:05, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Info Benh, thank you for your review. I took this image through the pilot’s window while flying a Cessna 172 at approximately 100 knots (185 km/h) with a fairly long focal length of 190 mm because I had to fly at least 600 m (2000 ft) above ground level over the national park. Even with the short exposure time of 1/1600 s, there was some motion blur in the raw image, which I corrected with a sharpening software tool. Unfortunately, there is some residual motion blur visible in the image, which I was unable to correct. I uploaded four different pictures of Grand Prismatic Spring that I took during the flight. In my opinion, this image has the best composition of the four, so I selected it for the nomination. I would be interested to learn whether one of the other images would be acceptable for you. --Carsten Steger (talk) 20:42, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- If 1/1600 is not enough, why not aiming at even faster shutter speed? I don't think you need f/10 and you can easily go for f/4 or wider if you lens permits it. None of the other shots stands out (they are equally good composition wise to me). It's really the quality that is a deal breaker, in my opinion, of course. - Benh (talk) 17:14, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Benh. I have to agree that the image quality of this beautiful sight is not high enough for FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like it. For my eyes the sharpness is just OK, and hey, this is still more resolution than the other 11 aerial views of this spring. It seems quite rare too -- I don't think drones are allowed there. --A.Savin 22:56, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Carsten: Every time I see your photos, I think: You make an admirable effort and take almost/already professional aerial photography! However, in the end the quality of the photos at pixel level is not as great as it should be. I suspect it’s due to some camera settings and/or to the post-processing. Maybe you would just have to change a few things to make your photos even better. This isn’t the right place to discuss it, but maybe we could discuss elsewhere with some others what it might be. I don’t mean this as criticism, but as help, because I really estimate your work. --Aristeas (talk) 08:46, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Great image but the inclination in the left hand is just too strong to me. The fact that the right half is leveled makes me also believe that it is tilted in ccw direction (apart from the lack of vertical perspective correction) Poco a poco (talk) 22:11, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Minor white balance change towards cooler, some small overexposure fixed on the clouds, small tilt correction. I speak against going for perspective correction, since it will significantly impact the composition decided at the place of photography, and it will also cause notable stretching foreground and would alter the proportions of the mountains to something else. This is a creative choice made by using a wide angle slightly downwards to include foreground.--Ximonic (talk) 12:43, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support The egg curry looks delicious, it's sharp, and I find this a good composition except that some of the crops could be more generous. Whether the crops are a reason to oppose is to your discretion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:18, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Stunning. I've spent quite a bit looking at this image, trying to capture all the little details that went into making it: the careful food arrangement, the off-center composition, the choice of colours, the focus point with just the right amount of depth of field. The only niggle I have is with the harsh highlights on portions of the curry, perhaps a more diffused light source would have helped --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent reproduction. – I wonder whether we should remove that small scratch or not.

Info Aerial view during sunrise of the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, Luxor, Egypt. The mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. The temple is considered to be a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its three massive terraces rise above the desert floor and into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Her tomb, KV20, lies inside the same massif capped by El Qurn, a pyramid for her mortuary complex. Across the river Nile, the whole structure points towards the monumental Eighth Pylon, Hatshepsut's most recognizable addition to the Temple of Karnak and the site from which the procession of the Beautiful Festival of the Valley departed. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 14:47, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Info Mosaic of the house of the Gladiators, Kourion, Cyprus. Kourion was an important ancient Greek city-state on the southwestern coast of the island. In the twelfth century BCE, after the collapse of the Mycenaean palaces, Greek settlers from Argos arrived on this site. The so-called House of the Gladiators dates to the late-3rd century AD and has been interpreted as an elite-private residence, or perhaps more probably as a public palaestra. The northern and eastern portico of the atrium contains two panels depicting gladiators in combat, the only such mosaics in Cyprus. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 22:23, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support I like the simple composition and the light, but the sharpness is on the low side for an 8.6 megapixel photo. Cmao20 (talk) 02:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose when I first saw the image, my eyes were immediately lured to the background – poor salience; not an FP, sorry. --SHB2000 (talk) 05:32, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think the sharpness is quite good at a larger-than-life size, and I like the table and don't think it's a problem to contrast the lighter colors of the food and wooden spoon with the darker colors of the table, but rather, that that was a good artistic decision by the photographer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:52, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support per Cmao20 and Ikan. The background is OK for me because it uses a repetitive pattern – after a second or two my mind has grasped it and concentrates fully on the dish. --Aristeas (talk) 08:33, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose FWIW, I love the colors and they do not feel exaggerated to me - that's exactly what this kind of forest feels like in this kind of light. But the composition doesn't quite convince me. Structurally, this is mostly a homogeneous wall of color and I'm missing something that breaks that pattern (to hang on to as a main subject). Just an idea: Might be worth a try to crop the bottom 1/6 or 1/5, removing that horizontal line of yellow completely. That would mean doubling down on the simplicity and at the same time bringing out more of that bit of structure you have in the rest of the image (central hill plus background hills left and right). --El Grafo (talk) 09:11, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. But when you would not support it, it’s not worth the effort to offer it as an alternative version, as alternative versions tend to split the voters. At the same time your argument will attract the usual “no reason for ...” voters which always just seek for a pretext to spit their venom. Therefore it makes no sense to torture the poor photo any longer. May it rest in peace.

Info Channeled mountain stream above Schlans ~1700m. In the long run, nature will overgrow the concrete construction and provide it with a milder color, so that it blends in with the whole. Impressive to watch the Metamorphosis at this stage.

We had never encountered such a construction high in the mountains to prevent erosion. These concrete blocks will never win a beauty prize.

Oppose I can empathize with you about the people in the photo, but unfortunately, I think, even if you could meticulously clone those four people out the image would still have issues—the sky is too pale and washed out, and much of the image is unsharp. It also seems to me that the perspective was corrected to the point of looking slightly unnatural. Daniel Case (talk) 23:44, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose certainly a good VI candidate and a decent portrait, but in no way outstanding to me. It is not uncommon for the subject in a portrait to not look at the camera. But if done well, that usually tells you something about the subject: artist at work focused on subject, observant soldier, farsighted leader, I'm somewhere else right now ... I'm not getting any of these vibes from this one. No wow for me. --El Grafo (talk) 10:05, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. If you know whether the swan is male or female, please add that information. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:54, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you can see a pair together (in which case the male is slightly larger), the sex of this species can only be reliably differentiated in the spring/breeding season (the male's "knob" above the bill gets bigger around then). i.e. can't tell from this pic taken in November unless Gzen92 has other information. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:29, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not seeing the issues you're noticing. This bird looks quite sharp to me. Could it be sharper? I think 3 of the 6 Cygnus olor head FPs are sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is little detail in the feathers. The background has not been selected carefully (easy for a common bird) and distracts. Cannot be one of our best. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:35, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan Kekek, looks like it is a bird. I’m not sure but it’s probably crossing the ridge between Chola Valley and Ngozumpa Valley and the lowest point in that ridge is 5,400 metres (17,717 ft). Or maybe it has just crossed the Great Himalayan Range (6800+ m).

Comment Charles, I think this image deserves a re-process to address the sharpening issues mentioned by others (there also seems to be a slight halo around the bottom portion of the branch and feathers). In a few years we'll look back at this AI look - with its crunchy subjects and impossibly smooth backgrounds - and chuck it in the same category as over-the-top tone mapping and selective colour... --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:53, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Post-processing is a contentious subject with no 'right' answer. When I have submitted images with less denoise (which includes less sharpening) there have been objections of a lack of sharpness. I try for a balance between on-screen appearance and suitability for printing, where sharpening artefacts don't seem to be such an issue. With the RAW file, we can always reprocess when new software is developed. 16:47, 24 December 2022 (UTC) Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:48, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think Wilfredor is right. Charles, fruit would be presented similarly to this in the U.S., but probably not as crowdedly. However, from my viewpoint, this is a still life, so the artist can make it look any way they want. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment imo the apple is still fresh, but it's infected with a disease like apple scab (caused by the fungus). -- Ivar (talk) 07:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Like Ivar, I think the apple is OK; the scars on the surface are a common apple disease which does not impair the apple’s taste. At least this fruit looks more interesting than the common over-perfect apples from the supermarket (which look only that perfect because they have been treated heavily with pesticides ;–). The rest of the arrangement is flawless. Small improvement to the gallery link made. --Aristeas (talk) 10:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm failing to make much sense of this arrangement - what is the intention here? It is certainly not how I would arrange fruit for people to eat - partially prepared but not entirely ready for snacking (and who would snack a lemon?). I wouldn't store it like this either, for obvious reasons. Nothing suggests it's being prepared for cooking either - like a knife or a cutting board. So surely this must be a purely "educational" shot - no, wait, why is the apple not cut? And why so many citrus fruits instead of something different like a banana? Is it art then? It a rather crowded arrangement, as Ikan already pointed out above, and if you ask me, the busy tablecloth does not help at all. Excellent food photography requires more than QI quality photography (which is certainly the case here). It requires a solid concept about choice of subject, a setting, and how to arrange the subject(s) within that setting. This one is halfway there, but there's a reason it was rejected in the 2017 nomination. --El Grafo (talk) 09:02, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just for your information, I usually eat lemons even with their shells, it has a strong and acidic flavor that is especially dangerous for dental enamel and for this reason I drink a glass of water immediately. It is not something common but it is not completely unreasonable to think that this is a common breakfast somewhere in the world --Wilfredor (talk) 04:43, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - if my drink or dish comes with a slice of lemon, I'll typically eat that too. I might have gone a bit over board there. Still, it does not feel like an attempt to illustrate a particular part of a local eating culture either. --El Grafo (talk) 11:03, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question I am tempted to oppose this as it seems to be an image created from data and bears no relation to what you would 'see' in a telescope. But I am no expert. It just looks so false. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:07, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not expert either, but I can tell this much: most of the light wavelengths can't be seen by the human eye. JWST's sensors can catch these, so mapping to visible wavelengths can be necessary. This can be a calculated (like when the light have traveled for so long it's shifted toward the reds / invisible infrared, so we just "shift back") or just arbitrary. This photo is probably the later case (it's not far enough so that the infrared light is shifted from visible light). Hope it's not too much bullshit that I said... - Benh (talk) 08:25, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Follow-up Question Does this mean that we should understand and handle this rather as some kind of Computer graphics than as a photo? --Aristeas (talk) 09:36, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's signal processing, so yes to me. But it's real stuff, just we must bear in mind the colors are mapped because the camera used is NIRcam (near infrared, so I assume it's not visible light). I guess they use a mapping which makes sense. But I think I've said too much and I hope some astronomer corrects me. - Benh (talk) 13:00, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Benh: For the mapping and the filters click on link and scroll to "About The Image". Habitator terrae 🌍 16:46, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(Edit conflict) Just because we now have instruments that detect things our human eyes can't see, doesn't make the image any less real. Look at it this way: A digital camera's sensor records photons of certain wavelengths. It does some very fast calculations with the software in the camera and the result is an image of pixels we can see. JWST's sensors does the same thing. It records photons of other (non-visible) wavelengths, software does some calculations (although way more advanced than in a normal digital camera) and this results in pixels that we can see. Yes, the colors are added/enhanced and not exactly what our eyes would see, but in early B&W photography when colors were not rightly represented (like the blue-yellow switch), people still didn't think the photos were 'fake'. Our everyday phone cameras can now record IR light, from say a remote control, process it and give it a color we can see, and we don't hesitate to call that a true photo.

A computer generated image is an imagined picture, with user and AI extrapolating and guessing how things might look. JWST's images are not made up or imagined, they are very exact representations of what is out there. We are just not used to seeing it so clearly yet. Imagine how the Lumière brothers would react to seeing an IMAX nature documentary, they would probably also think it looked false.--Cart (talk) 13:53, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp: By that standard you would be forced to oppose many pictured in Commons:Featured pictures/Astronomy like File:Pluto-01 Stern 03 Pluto Color TXT.jpg or File:Jupiter Showcases Auroras, Hazes (NIRCam Closeup).jpg. It has many relations to what you would "see" through a telescope. Fully red objects don't go to fully blue and vice versa. This comes from the fact, that green is a not existing color for stars. Therefore the basic colors don't fully negating themselves. Furthermore: From a technical point of view, this sensor uses the same process as normal cameras: The only difference is, that it doesn't uses the anthropocentristic filters red, blue and green, which evolved to life on earth and not to view stars, but some infrared (which might find their equivalent in some other species than human). Habitator terrae 🌍 16:26, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so if it is imagined that's fine as long as it is described as such. And the image of Neptune itself is ground-breaking. My problem with it is the whole image, which must be a composite. The planet and one nebula are illustrated with the same brightness; not to mention Neptune's moon Triton with its six-pronged reflection. The two FPs you link to are fine. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:00, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Charlesjsharp: Why do you think this is a composit, or what do you mean with this? This "six-pronged reflection" isn't to the infrared light or some composit, but because of the form of the mirror (which is needed in normal telescopes) and the high light concentration at one point. See for this en:Diffraction spike. Habitator terrae 🌍 17:20, 20 December 2022 (UTC) PS: Do you mean with "composit", that this is a composit of the different reflection of the different parts of the mirror??[reply]
@Charlesjsharp I just got from Habitator's reply that "six-pronged reflection" means diffraction spikes. If you look closely, there are 8 spikes (two verticals as well). It's probably because the primary mirror is made of smaller hexagons and because the secondary mirror is held by three tubes. I think we can safely say these are acceptable tradeoffs given all the constraints that come with sending such an incredible telescope so far. You can't review these like you'd review a photo taken with a "regular" camera. - Benh (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. I still can't understand why some of the planets/moons/stars have the refraction and others don't. But I'm not opposing this anyway; just saying I am not that impressed. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The reason is the concentration of light. Stars often have disffractions, because the source of their brightness come from one "small" source, while galaxies (often) have a more scattered type of brightness. The reason for Triton to be so bright, is that is an big icy moon, which reflects a lot. Habitator terrae 🌍 19:23, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The same can be seen in this image of an airport at night: The point-shaped light sources have diffraction spikes (what photographers like to call "starburst"), but the large rectangular ones don't. --El Grafo (talk) 09:24, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No pb with that. But I'd like to underscore that sometimes the context and meaning of the photo outweights the rest. A bit like photos of animals are better when taken in the wild instead of a zoo... don't you think? Anyhow. Enough digression, apologies for that. - Benh (talk) 20:59, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As Habitator said all stars (except the Sun) can be considered point light sources regardless of their magnitude simply because they are so far and so small. You can pretty much think of them as one single stream/column of photons. Most other objects have some dimensionality which means more than one stream/column of photons will reach your eye/the camera. This is also the reason all stars seem to "blink" on the night sky but planets don't (and how you can immediately tell whether you're looked at a planet or a star). Now, single point sources diffract much easier than other sources, but if the light intensity is large enough you'll get diffraction spikes with those sources as well (see Triton in this example). In a way the strength of the diffraction spikes in any night photo can be explained by the relation of the sensor size vs the size of the light source as it passes through the aperture. The more you stopped down the smaller this size is and the more point like the light sources become. -- KennyOMG (talk) 22:15, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a composite in the same way as HDR and focus stacked images are composed of a number of photos. I guess you could call it an "Astro HDR" if you like. --Cart (talk) 17:27, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. HDR and focus-stacked images are taken at (almost) the same time from (almost) the same position. A composite is a selection of different images combined into one. That's what this looks like. You are suggesting that they extracted the Neptune image from this 'wide angle' shot. That would surprise me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In fact the different frames were tacken at almost the same time (all on 12 July 2022) at almost the same position (L2 of Earth-Sun with the move of less than one day). I furthermore remind, that this is a considerable shorter time compared to e.g. this image. This short times are a feature of JWST. Of course, this is a image of a solar system object and not of galaxies. Habitator terrae 🌍 19:20, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(Edit conflict) I think you've misunderstood what this image is. This is not Neptune and bunch of images of other galaxies thrown together in one picture, it's what the sky looks like from that point of view when all the stars and galaxies are brought up to the same visibility/brightness, like you do with HDR. They are there all the time, but we have not been able to see them this well until now. Have you seen how big the Andromeda galaxy would look in the sky if you just bring up the light with HDR? You talk about the image of Neptune and its rings being 'extracted' from this, like this was just an ordinary photo. The photos we get from NASA are only what they release. My guess is that this was originally an extremely large image. The part with Neptune and its rings was released as one photo, then the whole wide view was downsized by NASA to fit being shown over the internet and that is what we see here. I also suspect that the JWST sensors can, in simple terms, to a degree zoom in and out on objects they want it to record. You have to let go of thinking about this extraordinary machine in terms of normal cameras and telescopes. --Cart (talk) 19:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"HDR" is NOT what it's about. The main point of astronomy is to study observable (by eye, instrument, any wavelength, etc) characteristics and how these relate to each other. Adjusting an image like you would in case of a HDR would be falsifying scientific data. What they do is take images at different wavelengths and combine these into one composite image. You can think of it in away that the Leica M10 monochrome can only take monochrome images however if you take 3 images, one with a red, one with a green and one with a blue filter, then combine these into one composite you'll get a true color image. But, again, it has nothing to do with fiddling with the brightness of objects observed. -- KennyOMG (talk) 22:03, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

just to get you an idea, how the raw data looks like: Here an raw image (which is part of the image in green), with an exposure of 7515.740 seconds. This was parallel taken, by what is shown in blue, starting on 2022-07-12 06:28:25.913 (with perhaps, I don't know filtering the noise out with parts of the exposure). Red and orange hat an exposure of 1878.935 seconds, starting with 2022-07-12 06:52:35.448. Habitator terrae 🌍 20:03, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In Addition, perhaps, that's what's the problem for some, the exposure was more like a "scanner" and didn't all the time viewed the same region of the field because of the size. That's why they end up with different intensities, as shown, if you automatic put all the raw data for one wavelength together (as linked). I presume for the processing of this image they used the original "small" exposures to remove all the noise and different intensities across the image. But all of this seems to be pretty standard for most JWST images. Habitator terrae 🌍 10:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral a very nice, well executed photo of a major Japanese castle. There's a couple of issues though. The camera model used isn't really state-of-the-art in 2022, resulting in a rather limited image resolution, and, what is more, a lack of that crisp sharpness we're usually expecting here. Maybe some adjustments in post might help. That being said, I really like the image and its mood - and I hope to visit the castle myself in the future. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Much better, but what about the colors? It seems to me like it has a bit of a magenta tint? El Grafo (talk) 09:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good hint. I noticed it, too, but did not correct it because I assumed (maybe by mistake) that this could be the real colour of the ground at the shores. In the Category:Debar Lake, some photos show a yellowish colour, some a reddish colour of the shores. @Kiril Simeonovski: Can you clarify which is the real colour of the shore: is it really that reddish, or is it more like in this photo, or …? When I know this I can further improve the photo. Thank you, --Aristeas (talk) 10:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some parts of the shore are yellowish, while some are reddish due to the red tide in the shallow waters. Please see this image for further details. You can notice that the shore to the left is reddish and the red tide is even visible, but the shore in the background is more yellowish. I'd see that the natural colour of the shore on this image is a bit more reddish.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:08, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am sorry to say so but I have big problems to find a satisfying correction of the colour balance for the photo. It certainly has more colour shift than a simple magenta tint. When I try to correct the colour so that the shore get’s right, the lake gets unbelievable colours. I assume that in reality this must be a great photo with astonishing colours, but I am not able to find out which. Maybe somebody else with more skills (El Grafo?) can help here. Sorry, --Aristeas (talk) 14:31, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's because the lake isn't wave-free on that part of the image. It has really nothing to do with the cloud reflection. However, it's a very good example of how clouds reflect on a surface of a larger body of water. In order to see a full reflection, it's necessary to have a crystal clear water surface, but that's impossible in practice (unless it's a very small pond).--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:45, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aristeas, Benh, do you think the white balance should be changed? If you ask me it is almost spot on and true to life in this scene at this time of the day. I checked with other images in the series. The sun starts leaning towards the horizon leaving some bluish casts on the right Nuptse wall. The higher you go, the thinner and darker the air gets. The sky is always dark deep blue at these altitudes in late afternoon and early evening. Also the temperature on the surface of those ridges is already around −20 °C (−4 °F) and even lower (−50 °C (−58 °F)) high up in the sky. I guess it’s natural to have some coolness and coldness in that scene. What do you think? --Argenberg (talk) 22:41, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we are used to see winter photographs and high mountains photos with a cold white balance, so you can keep it to give a cold feeling. --Aristeas (talk) 08:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I does seem very cool if you ask me. But I personally think WB is one of those subjective issues. A bit too cold or warm is for author to decide and there's no truth when it comes to WB. I'm more concerned when the snow renders almost grey though. - Benh (talk) 09:34, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Change the white balance in a natural scene is change the reality representation and transform it in a artistic picture out of commons scope. --Wilfredor (talk) 22:56, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I sympathise with your point, but the problem is: what is the right white balance? The camera just guesses it (depending on your settings) and can be wrong, so sometimes changing the white balance in post-processing is necessary just to achieve a realistic result. (This is a general remark, not related to this photo.) --Aristeas (talk) 08:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support out of curiousity, how hard is it to hike to the south ridge of Mount Pumori? --SHB2000 (talk) 08:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would say it is easy provided you’re properly acclimatized to the altitude and don’t have any preexisting medical conditions. The hike usually starts from Lukla and most people need at least two to three nights at 4000+ m. And then it’s advisable to sleep two more nights in either the Everest Base Camp or Gorakshep. Once fully acclimatized to low levels of oxygen it is pretty easy to traverse that ridge up to about 5800 m., weather permitting. There are no technical difficulties. --Argenberg (talk) 20:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't understand that 'paint daubs' comment. This image is not as high quality/resolution as some routine (even boring) mountain views we regularly promote, but this is Everest. It has been taken from the South Ridge of Mount Pumori which looks to involve a huge investment of time, energy and money to achieve a unique perspective on Everest. FP voting should recognise this. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Charles' comment. There's nothing worse than travelling for days to get a photo like this, only for it to be dismissed because of some minor trivial issues (and I feel for Argenberg having travelled to the other side of my state just to write an article but that 14-hour drive is trivial compared to hiking up to Mt Pumori). Sure, it may be minor, but the efforts of trying to get this pic should at least be recognised (QI is another story, though). SHB2000 (talk) 12:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel Case, Charlesjsharp, SHB2000, thanks for comments. My pleasure. I sympathize with all of your comments. I just wanted to note that processing is limited to basic global adjustments to exposure, contrast, highlights, saturation, clarity, sharpness in Adobe Lightroom, those on the very top of edit panel. My editing workflow is very basic and never involves complex processing. Also I don’t think that is a huge investment or a very unique perspective of Mount Everest. But it is a good view anyway because the Everest face is largely free of snow and the sky is fresh and clear. The lighting conditions are quite unique for late afternoon, allowing the summit face to be evenly illuminated by the evening autumn sun. A big investment would be to get some high-quality photos from Camp II, Camp III and South Col and beyond in the Western Realm past the Khumbu Icefall, and I’m hoping to get there some time in the future. --Argenberg (talk) 18:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Should mention location (and have appropriate category); ideally geocoded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:47, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ Temporary oppose. We should not promote an image where we have no idea where the photo was taken. See Commons:Image guidelines. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:40, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, there are sometimes good reasons for not having geocoding: privacy (should Cart or for that matter I, have been required to disclose the exact locations where we live?) or in the case of a photo like this maybe it's a rare species and it would not be a good idea to have everyone destroying habitat looking for a photo.

pinging JJ Harrison. SHB2000 (talk) 09:33, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charlesjsharp: from en wiki: large parts of its range are protected, as National Parks and other reserves. The Red-lored Whistler is subject to a different conservation status in each State where it occurs. Imo this is enough for a reason to withheld the location. -- Ivar (talk) 10:28, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Just to be clear, there was no category to even indicate which country the bird was, never mind the State; so no lectures needed. I am more than aware of the need to protect specific locations. Geocodes can use fewer significant figures to make locations less specific. Then users can quickly click to see roughly where the animal etc. is. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:25, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the location. Geolocation was deliberately withheld for sensitivity reasons - bird is critically endangered in NSW. JJ Harrison (talk) 19:47, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nice source quality, but work needed on blurred areas from focus stack. Can you reduce highlights on lightest part of spider? Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:51, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
