Support - Not greatly wowing me for whatever reason but I think it's deserving and interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:27, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment undecided on this one. I think for me the main issue is that for this to depict a particular kind of culturally significant fire/event rather than some other flame, I'd want to see more context in the photo. For example, there are some people there in the background, hard to see except at the edge of the frame. A wider shot to get more of the event in the frame would be good (of course, then it would be hard to get the full flame -- and they're not so conducive to panoramas :) ). — Rhododendrites ^talk | 14:32, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since the people are hardly visible in this image, it doesn't belong in the 'People' category. All fire photos (if the fire is the main subject) belong in 'Natural phenomena#Fire' regardless of how they started, by humans, nature or divine intervention (take a look at the other photos in that gallery). I've fixed to category now. --Cart (talk) 15:22, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, more or less per A.Savin (though I don't find the side crops very tight). I feel like the tricky thing about this kind of photo is that to be great, the positions of the pedestrians should aid the composition. I don't think they do in this instance, which makes this photo certainly IMO good but not exceptional. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:41, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose IMHO the image was taken to close to the ferris wheel and the random crowd in the foreground disturbs the scenery, resulting in an overall generic look. There are plenty of great shots of the Grande roue de Montréal taken on top or even behind of the bridge leading to it. The blue sky works quite well with the snow-covered environment, but I think the ferris wheel will look great under almost all light conditions (blue hour, golden hour, sunset, sunrise, etc.) Definitely worth a second try! Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 14:41, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Ikan Kekek, Christoph Braun, I can't quite agree with the criticism regarding the presence of a (relatively small) group of people. This is a major tourist attraction in Montreal, and to expect that no people be present, as if it were some sort of pristine wilderness, is a bit counter-intuitive. If anything, it would make the scene look sterilized and post-apocalyptic. I believe the people are well-integrated into the scene: they occupy only a small portion of it, nobody is cut off and nobody is obscuring any part of the main subject. I really don't see how the people are any more distracting than the conifer trees, for instance. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 15:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The Cosmonaut I didn't say that I expected the absence of people. A well-positioned single person, a small group or a couple can improve the composition and provide a sense of scale. In this case however, the pedestrians look rather generic. Furthermore, thanks to technological advances like ND filters, even crowded places can be photographed without people in the final image. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 17:05, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Christoph Braun: the ND technique would require the exposure time set to a few minutes to remove the slow-moving objects, like pedestrians. For this very brightly-lit scene with lots of whites, it would mean having the smallest possible aperture, which would inevitably lead to degradation of the image quality. For me, it doesn't seem like a meaningful sacrifice just to clear a very small part of the scene of people. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:51, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Cosmonaut Changing the aperture won't be necessary with the appropriate ND-filter. A similar outcome can be achieved by taking multiple shots of the same scene and blending them in Photoshop/GIMP. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 18:11, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Christoph Braun, true, that would work, but the question of the necessity of it remains... Do you have an example of a FP, where the presence of tourists in a very touristy place is not generic? I linked to this photo below, and I honestly don't see any difference. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Cosmonaut That's exactly why I would have voted against that one as well. Here are some examples where integrating people into a composition went rather well. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 20:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Christoph Braun: well, at least you're consistent :-) And yes, these are good examples. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 22:02, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Cosmonaut QED. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 00:06, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I posted very clearly what I thought about the people, which is not that it's a problem there were people in the photo. I really can't see how I could have been much clearer, other than if I suggested a specific position of people that would help the composition (but why on Earth would I do that?), but if anyone is sincerely confused, tell me what language seemed confusing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:30, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan Kekek, you nominated this image, and it passed with no opposition (deservedly so). Would you care to elaborate how the specific position of the tourists is different? It's every bit is as random and generic. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:51, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Of course these things are very subjective. But I don't agree with you that the positions of the people are equally random in that photo. They are along the sides and in the front, thereby actually helping the form by working with the lines. The only one who damages the composition somewhat is the woman in the near left, but she is still not really in the center, and the five tall spires on either side have such a strong effect on the viewer that the damage is greatly attenuated. In taking a photo of a ferris wheel, you inevitably have to be further from it, so that the people come between the camera and the ferris wheel in a way that's different in degree and even arguably kind than is the case with the photo of the top of the Milan Duomo. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, did you read the comment I wrote when nominating that photo? "Daniel Case has been taking many photographs that either focus on the tourists or fit the paradigm of 'landscape with people'. In this case, the people are much less important than the fantastic tall spires on the duomo's roof, but their presence creates a rhythm for the viewer's eyes, so neither he nor I think it damages the composition, and it's also a way of acknowledging the elephant - or, well, crowd - in the room, which is not always best to ignore." -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:31, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see how the distribution of the tourists, who are predominantly on the left and in the centre, with barely anyone on the right, aids the very symmetrical architectural theme, but I appreciate you taking the time to express your view. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 02:27, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's essential for there to be exact symmetry of tourists in that situation. I judge photos mostly by how I can move my eyes around the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:34, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info Castle of Zafra, Campillo de Dueñas, Guadalajara, Spain. The castle was built in the late 12th or early 13th centuries on a sandstone outcrop and stands on the site of a former Visigothic and Moorish fortification that fell into Christian hands in 1129. It had considerable strategic importance as a virtually impregnable defensive work on the border between Christian and Muslim-ruled territory. The castle was never conquered and was successfully defended against the King of Castile in the 13th century. The successful completion of the Reconquista at the end of the 15th century ended its military significance. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 09:54, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support One of those "forest primeval" pictures I wish I could have taken. I forgive the vignetting (although it doesn't need to be quite so obvious) because it generally enhances the effect. Saturation? Maybe juiced a little bit, but I've walked through real forests like this. Daniel Case (talk) 16:34, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Agree with Colin. Vignetting can sometimes be a creative thing, but here it's a bit too overprocessed and artificial - the kind of photo that would do well in WLE but that doesn't make it FP. Cmao20 (talk) 15:37, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info Entrance to castle Hohenwerfen, Werfen, near Salzburg, Austria. The medieval rock castle, situated on a 623 metres (2,044 ft) precipice overlooking the town of Werfen in the Salzach valley. The fortress is a "sister" of Hohensalzburg Fortress, both built by the Archbishops of Salzburg in the 11th century. c/u/n Poco a poco (talk) 11:45, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think it could do with a bit more sharpening at the top, but it's a spectacular shot. Cmao20 (talk) 16:54, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question - I haven't seen these kinds of strange diagonal relationships of elements in castle construction before. I'm assuming this is a view one would really see from the same angle, but I want to double check: Those aren't artifacts of some kind of perspective correction, are they? If this part of the castle does look like this, that's quite interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:29, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what diagonals you mean, Ikan Kekek, but it looks quiet loyal to reality to me. You can have a look here. Poco a poco (talk) 15:24, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Although I think it would be improved by cropping the dead space at left ... about a third of the image on the side really isn't doing anything but taking space. What's (ahem) left would actually be sort of Christmas-y (hey, it was shot during winter), which isn't something we think of mushroom pictures being.

~~Support~~ Great pose. Charles (talk) 10:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question From the EXIF, this appears to have been taken during the day using natural light with no flash. Has the uniform black background been added? Charles (talk) 14:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you download the image to say Photoshop and crank up the saturation to max, you will see that it is not a uniform black background. Instead it is dark blue with green specs all over it. It is very easy to take an image like this if the subject is in strong sunlight. Please compare with this image taken at the base of a hedge with the flowers in a beam of sunlight. I had to bring out the background from raw or it would have been totally black (since I know some people here have trouble with very black backgrounds). If I can do such shots, I'm sure other photographers, better than me, have no problem taking similar photos. --Cart (talk) 15:30, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not so. Your image is nothing like this one. I had already opened it in Photoshop and reduced shadow and it is a completely uniform background. As is the case with a number of this photographer's images. There may be a technique to achieve this, but you are nowhere close. There's no rule saying he can't play with backgrounds, but I'd just like to know in this instance. Charles (talk) 22:58, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't claim my photo was as good as this, just on the right track, a pointer to how this can be made. You are often taken what is written too literally. If you reduce the shadows, you will see a uniform background. However, playing with saturation will reveal what colors may be hidden in the darkness. Hopefully you will get a full explanation from the author. --Cart (talk) 23:14, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, Cart, Done and info added also here Poco a poco (talk) 16:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated. Small question: With panoramas like this, where a distortion like this might not be the best thing for the accuracy of the image, have you thought about not taking all the photos from the same spot, but rather place the camera in front of each house along the street, or something like that, and later merge them? I have done that on some occasions (this is one) and you get a more true perspective. --Cart (talk) 17:07, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cart First of all, I like this kind of perspective, it may be "less encyclopedic", but I enjoy it; secondly in order to reduce this distortion I need to use more mm and for that I need to go further (or alternatively do what you did, taking a picture in front of each house), but IMHO none of these 2 options were practicable, because therefore I would have had to go further to the back, which wasn't physically possible or I should have gone closer with lots of distracting elements, specially people (and which is surely more tricky to stich to a pan later on). Poco a poco (talk) 17:37, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unpleasant distortion, weak light --A.Savin 16:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice image and it looks like a lovely place to visit but regrettably I think the perspective distortion is just too weird. It's a good depiction of the location for documentary purposes, but if this is the only way to capture the whole shopfront in one picture, then for FP I'd really prefer to see a single frame focussing on a smaller bit of the street; it would be more aesthetically pleasing.

Info An interesting church in Fleet Street, London, constructed in the 1830s with a peculiar and striking octagonal lantern tower. Nowadays it's a joint Church of England and Romanian Orthodox church, which is really interesting, and there's plenty of orthodox-style art visible here.

Oppose Without even looking at the full resolution I can tell you that for a photo like this, the resolution of 2,7MP is too low to impress me.--Peulle (talk) 07:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Interesting, but the darker sky at the top breaks the illusion almost immediately. Maybe add some ND filter (simulation) to the sky half or brighten up the water half? It has a slight surreal feeling to it due to some "impossible" angles and some things seemingly missing in the top half due to perspective (btw, phone/power poles: cloned out or really not visible?). But I'm not sure the effect is strong enough to "make" the image. In any case, I prefer the flipped first version over the later rotated versions, as it keeps the letters in the logo readable. --El Grafo (talk) 10:29, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Striking reflections but I agree with El Grafo that it looks a little bit surreal and unnatural. I find the colours a bit too bright, and the image could also do with a perspective correction. Cmao20 (talk) 17:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I might have been able to forgive the softness, but the vertical composition here seems to me at odds with the natural inclination towards a horizontal here. Daniel Case (talk) 21:57, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Daniel Case, and maybe also too contrasted with low wow factor, since we have a lot of (better) images of this kind already -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:19, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others, and bright parts (which seem the most important ones here) are overexposed. This is not at all an easy light to work with. f/10 already causes visible aperture diffraction on an MFT system. --Kreuz schnabel 16:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's a nice shot, but it is a tiny bit soft, and I agree with Daniel about a horizontal composition being more appropriate here. I like the light though. Cmao20 (talk) 19:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination Thanks all for the feedback! I'll make sure to use smaller f-numbers in the future. I've chosen the portrait orientation because it was the best in this case to show the mountain and focus attention to its summit (which is the interesting part), as that was my main goal.

- Comment Actually it’s a live-composited image at a base exposure of 1 sec. Once that first exposure is taken, only each "new light" is added to the frame, that’s how the trails come in without brightening the surrounding. The entire compositing may take several minutes, even hours (e.g. for star trails). --Kreuz schnabel 06:41, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is oversharpened. --Hockei (talk) 14:22, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The oversharpening is not only visible on the tongue but around the whole head. Strong! I don't see the slightest reason to tolerate it considering the great composition. This fault has nothing to do with the composition but it is a homemade mistake and can be corrected very easily. I'm convinced that is sharp enough nevertheless. Maybe you don't matter about my rejection but it won't cares me. I'll support this picture if this is corrected. --Hockei (talk) 12:44, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a photo in the jungle of a Thai National Park, but there are made-made items (possibly tables?) in the reflection - so I was curious. Is this a laboratory-type set-up? I visit hundreds of forests and I never ever see snakes out in the open like Rushenb manages (very jealous). What's the secret? Are the snakes captured then released for the photo? Do you know why the images are all credited to Thai National Parks. 17:45, 1 January 2020 (UTC) Charles (talk) 17:46, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really see tables on the eye reflection? I see same leafs, where the snake lies. --Ivar (talk) 18:09, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like the composition very much, it breaks all the rules by putting the (presumably) main subject at the top right rather than in the centre, but it works really well. What I'm not keen on are the colours. I've never seen a sky that blue in real life, and I struggle to believe it's accurate to reality. In fact the saturation as a whole looks too much, and there's some clipping in the blue channel. Cmao20 (talk) 16:33, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice motif, but the colors are too saturated for me, --Fischer.H (talk) 16:59, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Is this a tear, such as people cry, or is it a cell torn off of someone's face (using the other meaning of "tear")? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:18, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is the tear that pours from the eyes :) JukoFF (talk) 11:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I guess it's the use of "facies" that is a bit confusing here — I only know it from geology (and there seems to be a medical use in English), but in Russian the word Фация seems to have some other uses as well. Maybe we can find some better description. I think what we see here is a drop of tear fluid that has been left to dry, allowing the dissolved salts to crystallize and form interesting patterns (some more examples in this article at telegraph.co.uk) - correct? --El Grafo (talk) 11:08, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Absolutely right. I would be very grateful if you correct the description. JukoFF (talk) 11:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not really that impressed by a round gray object on a black background that looks like lots of other round gray objects on black backgrounds. Also, yes I know it was taken through a microscope, but we have plenty of other microphotographs without that level of CA near the edges. Daniel Case (talk) 19:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Unsharp ceiling, per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 01:55, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I suspect Colin would himself no longer see this image as an FP. It's certainly not bad and deserves its QI label, but given the competition within the church-interior genre it no longer makes the cut in terms of resolution, detail or sharpness. Cmao20 (talk) 16:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree that the ceiling is blurred (could be cut out). I disagree with the fact that the tourists are, so to speak, spoiling the picture. There are many excellent photos with emphty churches. These churches look like dead. But churches should be there for the people. Therefore I think that the presence of people should not lead to devaluation! Je-str (talk) 16:56, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I don't mind church pictures that have people in them. Either with or without is fine for me. Cmao20 (talk) 20:18, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an issue that there are people in the photo. The issue is that they are doing random, distracting things - scratching their back, taking photos - and the ghosting is somewhat problematic, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:26, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I find this quite an interesting picture, and I like the forms of the seeds. My only question is whether you will find all of the seeds to be sharp enough and otherwise well enough photographed, but I leave that to your judgement. Also, please help me with categorization. I tried Plants/Seeds, and that didn't work. Did I do this right? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:33, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looks impressive on first sight. But there are some issues (which can be corrected): The masking is not the best, see especially the outline of the upper right, but also in some others. The lower left has a rectangle frame which is not as black as the rest of the picture. There is no indication about the size of the seeds. Is it the same in all or different? Also the knowledge of the size is necessary for the judgement of the quality of the picture: A seed of 2 mm is more difficult to get in high quality than a seed of 5 cm. I also miss the Metadata. Because of these questions and issues I will wait with voting --Llez (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I see what you were going for on this one, but the composition doesn't work for me; I don't like the random bit of building intruding into the frame on the left, and the composition is quite cluttered with lots of blurry objects in the foreground. I think it would have been better to find a more scenic spot to shoot this sunset without so much man-made clutter regretfully in the way. Cmao20 (talk) 18:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry but this is some way from FP quality, I'm afraid. The sky is washed out, the image quality is not the highest and too much of the image is in shadow for me. Perhaps it would be better to submit some of your images to Commons:Photography critiques to get some more detailed advice on what we are looking for at FPC, so that your future nominations have a stronger chance of success. Cmao20 (talk) 18:32, 12 January 2020 (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: Unsharp, multiple parts under/overexposed.

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Looking in the FP category for the Corvidae family, there are several FPs of various crows, magpies etc., but none of this particular species. There are head portraits of the hooded crow and the jungle crow, which are both pretty good, but this is a different species, and higher-resolution than both. created by Jastrow - uploaded by Jastrow - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 19:10, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Impressive. --Podzemnik (talk) 20:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the bird is impressive, but the background appears to be false - check out my note where the green covers the bird's feathers - and also check out the reflection in the bird's eye which might indicate there was an urban background. I do hope I'm wrong and that the photographer can put me right. Charles (talk) 21:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The background is very real—I haven't got the technical chops to create it if I wanted to! Some ideas why those areas of the picture look that way: green fringing from the macro lens I used, perhaps, though this file is normally corrected for that; feather barbs are very thin in worn plumage.
- There is an urban background indeed: the bird was perched on a railing closing a small courtyard in the Jardin des Plantes, a botanical garden in Paris hosting the main campus of the French National Natural History Museum. I know this crow very well (he eats from my hand), which is why I can approach him very close, with a 105mm lens. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 06:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Visit the nomination page.

Info Delist reason: Far below FP standards – low resolution, oversharpened / contrast overdone, birds way too small and partially overexposed, unfortunate composition IMHO emphasizing the foreground. If nominated today, this would earn an FPX within minutes. (Original nomination)

I don't prefer it. That's a new nomination. If you intend for me to have the same standard for delists as I have for new nominations, I would probably propose for a majority of FPs promoted before a certain year to be delisted. But do you really want to take the time to do that? Therefore, I support only delistings which seem really obvious to me. Maybe this one should seem obvious, but does it matter? Nope. It will be delisted. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:09, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Kreuzschnabel, Charlesjsharp, King of Hearts, A.Savin, Iifar, Peulle, and Daniel Case: I'm not sure if you're aware that after the last vote for removal the image has been edited quite a bit by Archaeodontosaurus. This is not the image that was voted on 3 times in the past. So just in case you missed that, maybe consider if a revert to this version would maybe change your vote? --El Grafo (talk) 11:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- CommentThanks for the hint. Indeed, the version pointed out is not quite as bad as the latest one, at least not that aggressively sharpened. Still I don’t think it’s more than QI as for composition as soon as the horizon tilt is fixed. --Kreuz schnabel 12:09, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- +1, the Archaeodontosaurus version is a decrease in quality and should be reverted ( Done now). But nonetheless, it's a low-resolution image and not FP by current standards. --A.Savin 12:35, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Do you think we should remove the FP designation from all photos that are too low-resolution to pass now? If so, that should be done by a bot, because we're not going to want to spend time voting on every one of them individually, I would think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This scenery is really not as interesting for me that I would say "still featured despite resolution". --A.Savin 16:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Oh come, Ikan. Even today we would feature an 800×600 px image if only it had tons of wow, wouldn’t we? The minimum resolution is a "should", not a "must". So what’s this talking about automatically removing all lo-res images regardless of their wow? OTOH, if you could make a bot to detect and measure the wow in an image and judge it against resolution, we could just close FPC down and let the bot decide on today’s nominations too within one second. Even more, we wouldn’t need nominations at all, just let the bot look over any freshly uploaded pic and feature it on the spot. Interesting idea :) --Kreuz schnabel 21:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that made me laugh out loud. But in practice, very few of the FPs from back in those days would pass if judged by today's standards. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Even in 2007 the consensus to keep this was not overwhelming, and in 2010 not a single voter supported keeping. If the resolution were twice what it is, I'd think again, but at this size there is no way it can any longer be considered one of our best, especially compared to Poco's panorama of Boulder Beach. That said, I agree with Ikan Kekek that we need to have a proper conversation about how we should approach the classification of FPs that are nowadays too low-resolution to pass. I wouldn't support a blanket delist of all of them, because some have unique visual interest or rarity mitigating their lower resolution, but we probably do need a more consistent approach than we have at the moment.

Oppose per above--Andrei (talk) 22:36, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A nice snapshot for you to remember the event, and a decent shot for documentation purposes, but that's about it. Sorry, I'm gonna be brutal here: The composition feels unbalanced, with the entire top half showing nothing but the stage backdrop and the lighting rig. In the bottom half, most of the performers are hidden in the shadows. The singer is lit well and thus the one thing the eyes would gravitate towards, but 1) she's tiny, but over all picture quality does not allow for a tighter crop, 2) her expression/pose are not ugly, but also nothing special(have a look at some of the examples at Commons:Featured_pictures/People#Events), 3) the piano player behind her is disturbing, 4) there's a blurry something in front of her legs. --El Grafo (talk) 10:16, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Der deutsche Namensteil sollte auf Braunwarziger Hartbovist geändert werden. --Kreuz schnabel 10:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Quatsch. Er ist das Gegenteil vom Dickschaligen K., also ergibt es einen Sinn. In meinem Bestimmungsbuch steht er auch so drin. Es gibt außerdem noch andere Trivialnamen. Ermell kann ihn benennen wie er will. --Hockei (talk) 11:35, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Dateinamen auf Commons sollten den Gegenstand exakt bezeichnen, und der jetzige Trivialname wird auch für Scleroderma areolatum verwendet und ist damit nicht eindeutig. Ich kann alternativ auch damit leben, nur den wissenschaftlichen Namen stehen zu lassen. --Kreuz schnabel 12:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Dass S. areolatum gelegentlich als Dünnschaliger K. bezeichnet wird, beruht lediglich auf eine Verwechslung mit S. verrucosum. Der Fehler liegt bei der deutschen Wikipedia. Die Bezeichnung Dünnschaliger K. sollte dort daher bei S. areolatum entfernt und auf S. verrucosum verlinkt werden. --Hockei (talk) 16:36, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan, yes there is. If you click backwards through the categories for it you will end up at Category:Psittacula krameri where you can see it belongs to Ordo: Psittaciformes • Familia: Psittaculidae.

Oppose per Peulle. Certainly pleasant, with nice light in most of it, but not IMO a great composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:22, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There's an interesting idea going on here, but I think the composition is just too cluttered, there's too much going on. I also think you had the misfortune to be shooting at midday when the shadows are quite long and this means that a lot of the image is in shadow; the bottom left corner is entirely shadowed and I find that a bit distracting.

Oppose Sorry. First, per Charles. Second, the post is very dominating the picture but it is neither interesting nor nice. Third, in generally the composition or better the view is very common.

Oppose - I generally consider this breed of nearly furless cats very ugly and feel sorry for them, due to their lack of heat insulation, but this mama cat has a striking gaze. I think the composition is FP-worthy. However, I just don't think the photo is sharp enough to be one of the best on Commons.

Support -- Poco a poco (talk) 11:38, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Have had my eye on nominating this one myself. The back of the waterbuck is a tiny bit less sharp than the head, but ultimately this is a >40mpx image and still fairly sharp everywhere at full size, so it's the kind of content we are lucky to have. Cmao20 (talk) 20:04, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose lack of sharpness. --Ivar (talk) 20:43, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Without wishing to be disrespectful to your opinion, I do think this is a little harsh considering the high resolution of the image. To make my point clear, from this image one can produce this 10.5 mpx downsample which is sharp all over. To me voting against this image because of sharpness at 100% is just penalising the author for providing us with a full-resolution shot. Cmao20 (talk) 18:27, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cmao20, may I add something to that? This is a wildlife image and not taken in the zoo around the corner. It was also taken from a considerable distance, as this animals are pretty shy, and for that I had to use a 600mm and yes, as you say, I am offering a big file, namely, over 50 MPx. I don't find the image lacking sharpness, the shot had to be handheld and for that I had to increase the ISO a bit. Poco a poco (talk) 20:26, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment zoo or not, this image is not sharp. ISO 400 at almost midday sunlight should not have any effect on the result. FP should be the finest on Commons and imho this is not it. --Ivar (talk) 21:08, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Definitely sharp enough, IMO. My only issue with the photo, really, is a nitpicky one: I'd prefer for the waterbuck's face not to be partially criss-crossed by grass. That's a very difficult thing to avoid, but it's what's making the difference for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:11, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's probably not sharp enough, but not enough for me to oppose. The grass in front of the face is not ideal. Hand-held 600mm must be tricky and probably explains the softness. Charles (talk) 13:06, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:22, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose I don't have a problem with the sharpness, really, and the other technical issue I noticed (posterization on the nose and some CA on the droplets) is too small to be a problem.

Sure thing, though to be honest, my favorite thing about that installation was that it was temporary. :-) I notice this language in your file description: "developed by the interior designer Yasumichi Morita".

Support - You really have sewn a silk purse out of a sow's ear, if you know the saying. There's a region on the upper right that's less sharp than other parts of the picture, so you might have a look at whether that can be edited in a useful way. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:15, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know the saying and I thank you for it. It is a dismal place and the low winter light makes all the difference. The reason the upper right is less sharp than the rest of the photo, is because it is really much further away. It may not look like it, but if you check on a map, those cliffs and trees (where I shot this FP) are almost one kilometer away as opposed to the old dock and shacks at about 200-250 meters. I'll see if I can do something about it, but I can't promise anything. --Cart (talk) 18:34, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can relate to the cringeworthiness of seeing an alphabet you know so well being contorted as a font for another.

I do think it's tilted, but I wait for other opinions. Charles (talk) 20:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Tilted seems to be the agreement. We should wait till the photographer returns and has an opportunity to correct it. Charles (talk) 13:02, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good for me. Difficult to tell if it's tilted or not, but I don't think it matters too much when the background is so blurred you can hardly tell. Cmao20 (talk) 18:29, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The original breathes more, but I support this version, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:19, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The crop doesn't quite match my suggestion. It was my intention to get rid of the white branch on the right as far as possible and to leave a little more space on the left so that the motif is not centered in the picture. If you want I would send you my crop or overwrite your crop with it for comparison. Then you would see what I mean. --Hockei (talk) 05:53, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is a good idea and I am curious about the result.--Ermell (talk) 07:44, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request Will you send me your email address or give me your permission for overwriting? --Hockei (talk) 08:28, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ermell: I'll upload now my crop because it is my last chance for the remaining time. It is an exception for me. Normally I don't do this but I can't wait longer for your answer. I hope you are not angry. Please set it back to your version if you don't like it. --Hockei (talk) 13:51, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I didn't find it easy to include the background somehow, but this version turned out pretty good. Why should I be angry. Constructive work is always supported by me.--Ermell (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see you've cropped it yourself. I am happy to Support this version, or any different crop that Hockei comes up with. Cmao20 (talk) 19:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info View of the Fernsehturm (TV tower) from the bottom, Berlin, Germany. The tower, located close to Alexanderplatz in the center of the capital, was built between 1965 and 1969 by the government of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany).

Neither do I, but I'd still give it another little push in the upper mid-tones. Anyway, after giving it some time I think I'd stick to my vote regardless of that. There's nothing actually wrong with it and I like the composition with just the right amount of lead room. In particular, I really like how the diagonal of the white\brown feathers runs parallel to the diagonal of the brown beach\bright water (a little bit more to the right and they would've lined up perfectly).

Comment Could you please provide some better categories, geolocation and preferably a description in English on the file page.

Sure, we often help out with such things, but you have been around here long enough to fix that yourself by now, please. --Cart (talk) 17:44, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @W.carter: you're right miss carter. but this picture was awarded 6th place of WLM 2019. I nominated first picture of WLM 2019 too. both of them photographed by Marian Naworski. my intention of nominating these pictures is I want to find out what's the WOW in them.--Amirpashaei (talk) 17:56, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that is right, they have plenty of 'wow', but the "boring paper work" for each nomination has to be done right too by the nominator regardless of that. It is all written in the rules of FPC. An FP is so much more than just a pretty picture, we also need background info on it and good categories and description so that Wikipedians around the world can find it and will know how to use it. A picture without context is useless. We always help 'newbies' with all this, but in time all users have to grow up and fix the basic requirements themselves. After 17 successful FPs, you should be able to do this. --Cart (talk) 18:00, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ per Cart. When nominate other people's work presenting it properly is important, such as this image where I added an English caption before nominating. An FP should be made as useful as possible for anyone working on a project to find and use. As for the picture itself, it's definitely got 'wow' although it's not that sharp and detailed in the shadows. I think I would support it overall though. Cmao20 (talk) 19:18, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ per The Cosmonaut. Cmao20 (talk) 07:51, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I know I'm being really indecisive on this one, but Amirpashaei is right about it. Anyone could visit this place and take an identical shot with higher technical quality. There's nothing imaginative or unique about the composition, the wow comes from the location, and even that could be captured better. Cmao20 (talk) 23:25, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amirpashaei, I can tell you why I supported this one if it helps. I think there's something magnificent and tragic about decaying heavy industry like this, it makes me think about the age of techno-optimism when buildings like this were shiny and new, and about all the people who spent their working lives here long ago. It's an emotional argument more than anything else. You're right about the technical problems though. Cmao20 (talk) 15:32, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- this picture is just a snapshot you can take it with your mobile. I agree with you about the emotional and magnificent and tragic. but these items are in this place and art of photographer just selecting this place to photographing. the art of photographer most be using elements that helps to reaching the main goal of that picture. we can't see any special look or composition could make the photo stronger.or at least I can't see it.--Amirpashaei (talk) 15:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're not wrong, in truth; it's not that carefully composed. Supporting it was a marginal decision for me. The images you have been submitting of your own at FPC are all much higher quality than this. I'm sad that WLM didn't give your pictures as high a status as they deserve, but we are always happy to see your work here at FPC. Cmao20 (talk) 16:07, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thanks @Cmao20 for your kind. --Amirpashaei (talk) 16:11, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To me the 'wow' does not always have to be a positive happy feeling. (The again, I'm Swedish and we know a lot about being dark and depressed... ;-) ) The 'wow' in this is the feeling of sadness, of dreams gone by, of the passing of time and that nothing is eternal. A photo that evokes an emotion, good or bad, has 'wow' to me. --Cart (talk) 16:15, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have not voted for this photo, but I don't agree that it's "just a snapshot". The composition is fairly good, in terms of framing. I'm in no way awed by it, but it's not random. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would really like to support this photo, but I must second Cart’s request for more information, precise categories etc. --Aristeas (talk) 15:00, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per my reasoning below. I'm not sure I like the composition so much, the whole image looks oddly askew as if it's tilted to the left, so I'm not sure I'd support this one. Cmao20 (talk) 19:37, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Technically far from perfect (CAs, blown windows, not many details in the shadow, minor perspective correction would be good), but it has so much “wow” for me that I have to support it. --Aristeas (talk) 16:43, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seven Pandas (talk) 01:37, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with @Cmao20, the whole image looks oddly askew as if it's tilted to the left and right section of picture is empty. alot of Technically problems are obviously seen. (CAs, blown windows, not many details in the shadow, perspective correction and blurring in the whole image ) I can't understand any wow in the picture. if anyone knows what is the wow, tell me about it.--Amirpashaei (talk) 10:12, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Why did you nominate it if you oppose a feature? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:22, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ikan_Kekek because I wanted to know what's the wow of this picture and what's the reason of the first award of WLM. now I realized that I overestimated WLM and the judgement. I understood beauty of picture, sharpness, focusing , blurring , ca, blown section, no detail in shadow, perspective correction, framing and composition are not important to jury. --Amirpashaei (talk) 14:02, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amirpashaei, you are right in that the juries of WLM sometimes make very strange choices and it does you credit to see that. A win in that competition does not guarantee that the photo will be an FP. But if you look at the rest of the photos in lower placings, you will always find very good pictures to nominate here. Many FPs are picked from around 5-20th place. Go with what you feel is right when you make nominations, that is always better. --Cart (talk) 15:10, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amirpashaei, I agree with Cart here. WLM is an unusual competition that seems to be judged fairly randomly, paying little attention to image quality and much more emphasis on immediate visual wow. Lots of the winners have poor image quality, oversaturated colours etc. But there are usually a few gems hiding within the majority of mediocre shots. I found and nominated these three FPs by looking through WLM regional finalists, and all three passed with strong margins. Cmao20 (talk) 15:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I sent 27 pictures to wml and 10 of them got FP and 4 of them selected as 10 best pictures from iran. But in surprise none of them could award 1 to 15 in wml. heritage office in iran don't care to good pictures and they don't want to spend any budget on it. I wanted to impress them by that. my goal was professional photographing from iran's heritage in 1-2 years. I nominated my pictures as FP for reaching this goal. by the way my job is architectural photographer and if I want to photographing heritage instead restaurant and houses I need to money to spend it in this way. now I'm upset why I overestimated wml and judgement.--Amirpashaei (talk) 15:43, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[Edit conflict] Yes, this has been discussed before, more on the talk page than in FPC noms but sometimes here, too. I would similarly say that the best photos, from the viewpoint of FPC regulars, in the monthly photo challenges are only sometimes in the top three. Often, they're further down the list. Now and then, 2 of the top 3 or, I think on at least one occasion (not sure, though), even all 3 of them are excellent and have passed at FPC too. It's more common for the top 3 to be QIs, but quite often, some of them are too small or unsharp/noisy/weird in perspective to be remotely close to QIs, yet they placed 1st or 2nd in the photo challenge. My feeling is that WLM and the Photo challenge are good places to look for interesting photos by photographers whose works in some cases haven't been represented among FPs and are deserving, but you should use your own judgment about which photos seem deserving to you. I might nominate one that's interesting and I think might or might not pass, but I wouldn't nominate one I've already decided is not an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:46, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My sympathies, Amirpashaei. Iran is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and fortunately, it is well represented among FPs. Poco took quite a few FPs during his trip to Iran a few years ago, and others have taken others. But I haven't the slightest doubt that there's a lot more out there to take breathtaking photographs of. Don't spend beyond your means to do it, but we'll be here to look at whichever photos you nominate. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info created and uploaded by Ssprmannheim - tweaked and nominated by W.carter -- Cart (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is far from the first time a photo has been tweaked by cropping or adding space or cloning parts of the photo. I thought it was a great shame this really good photo didn't make FP in its original form. However, the photo was easy to fix with some editing tools. I'm totally fine with this, but if the author, Ssprmannheim, doesn't like it, I will of course withdraw the nomination immediately. -- Cart (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ Nothing wrong with the compo but its is unfortunately a tad overexposed. Knopik-som, is there any chance of dialing down the highlights? Yep, it is one ugly cat IMO although it looks so pitiful you can't help having some sympathy for it, but as Wikipedians and photo critics we must be able to put aside our own preferences and simply look at the image.

The rocks in that area seem to be actually pinkish, and I assume the streaks in the foreground are pinkish due to taillights, with added pink on the bends due to brake lights. I assume that, as this is the 1970s, these are halogen lights. The concrete seems both greenish (in reflected light from the ground) and pinkish (in areas with more direct light). I'm not sure what the whites should be here for realism. HLHJ (talk) 20:54, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Sorry if this seems Philistine to most of you, but while the photo is an interesting document, it doesn't strike me as great. If it weren't a historical photo, I'd recommend for most of the darkest parts to be cropped out and also the part closest to the top. Is it by this Hans Baumann or another one? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:49, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your question about the author sent me on a bit of a journey. My original source no longer names any photographer, so I thought I might have mistakenly copied this from some other upload. However, there are a bunch of other photos from Comet Photo AG credited with Hans Baumann on Commons, and for all of those, the ETH library now names a Heinz Baumann as the author. So, for this photo here we can't be sure anymore, but it might be this Heinz Baumann. I'll edit all the affected image descriptions. --Draemmli (talk) 18:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I haven't voted on this, but I would request for the crop to be identified and a category added for it.

Ikan, I don't think it's possible to identify any crop since there is none. The tractor is just harrowing the field, preparing the soil for planting a crop. You can't possibly request that we try to see into the future what will be planted in those fields. The small spots of green you see are weeds and remains of last year's crop. The photo is taken in April, which is a normal month for fixing the soil after the winter to plant what will grow during summer and harvested in the autumn. At least in the northern hemisphere. --Cart (talk) 18:28, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Very high resolution, but what's with all that white? Is it differentiated in the original from any other white, or is the photo just attached to a whitewashed ceiling? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:10, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I guess all that white space is so that you can use it for whatever meme text you care to add to this particular Ceiling Cat photo. And to be clear, it's not a photo on a ceiling but an art installation. To put it bluntly, some artists took a dead stuffed cat and put it in a hole in an art gallery ceiling, to make a sort of 3D version of the internet occurrence called Ceiling Cat. --Cart (talk) 00:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I hope this is seen as a valid reason to oppose, but the artwork holds no interest for me. The image quality is very good, but I think when I judge a digital reproduction of artwork I judge it in part on what merits I believe it holds as well as on the quality of the reproduction. This may be an internet curiosity but I don't see it as interesting or important art. Cmao20 (talk) 11:23, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This doesn't work for me. Basically, I don't find this cat interesting, then I don't like the very large white background, and to finish there are technical issues in my opinion, some parts seem overexposed -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:39, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The "large white background" is necessary to show that this is a ceiling and clearly connect this piece to the meme. The ceiling is as much a subject of the work as the cat. This is not a work about a cat. It is a work about the meme. It plays on the ideas of originality, reproduction, derivative works, appropriation and plagiarism. It challenges you to ask "what is original at all?" in this age of social media, the internet, and wide proliferation of copies of images. Can appropriated works be considered original? Can a derivative work be considered artistic? --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 09:00, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of questions you ask but that don't come to my mind when I look at this image. "Just a boring cat" is still my main impression. The artist may have spent a lot of time on lolcats everywhere on facebook, but I haven't, and feel ok without -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:14, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And my take on it is that philosophizing doesn't make a whole bunch of white more interesting to look at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:56, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My take on it would be that the concept of Ceiling Cat is funny and philosophically interesting, as a sculpture/installation IRL it is good, but unfortunately it doesn't translate into a good photo. Perhaps if there was someone interacting with this Ceiling Cat, it would make a really good photo. (For the record: I love LOLcats. I have made many myself, some with my old now departed cat posing for them. I have books with them. I look them up online. But most of them would not make good photos.) --Cart (talk) 11:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I'm sorry, it's a pretty view, but I don't find the composition anything great (for example, the crops right and especially left feel arbitrary), and it's just too noisy and unsharp to be an FP in 2020, in my opinion, considering the great panoramas we've been featuring - and indeed the much sharper, unnoisier ones than this that have been voted down. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:09, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Ermell (talk) 09:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm inclined to agree with A.Savin. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube about how to create "puddle reflections". However, even with Photoshop, you can't change the angle of the reflection. A reflection is always like if you look up from underneath the subject, like you can see in this photo. A quick cut-paste-turn in Photoshop of this photo shows that the reflection has exactly the same angle as the 'normal' buildings, only a slightly different version so probably a photo taken before or after the first. This of course made me suspicious of the other reflection nom we have. That one looks like it could be the real deal since the angle between the monk and the wall behind him are different and there are several photos made with that puddle and apparently from the same rainy day. Or it could be better done in PS, hard to tell. --Cart (talk) 11:25, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, this is definitely QI but I'm not sure it's sharp enough for FP in the competitive genre of flower photos. I'd need a sharper image to support what is, for me, a flower that doesn't have that much visual wow. Cmao20 (talk) 23:17, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite puzzled by the often expressed notion that due to the overabundance of flower photos being nominated, more stringent standards need to apply. Right now, this is the only active flower nomination. I've been a fairly regular visitor over the last 6 months, and this situation is quite representative. Compared to the amount of landscape and architecture photos that gets nominated, we are hardly overwhelmed by flowers, and yet the myth that we are continues to perpetuate, for some reason... --The Cosmonaut (talk) 01:01, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. I think the problem is that it's easy to take a pretty picture of a flower because, well, flowers are pretty, but for an FP I'd want something exceptional either in composition, subject (unusual or especially beautiful flower) or resolution. Cmao20 (talk) 10:08, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but who decided that taking a flower photo is easy? This might be the case for extremely common plants like dandelions or house plants, when a photographer has a total control of the environment. Doing any sort of macro photography outside the studio setting is not a trivial task. First of all, there is a question of access. Most of us live in the urban areas of the Northern Hemisphere, so we're not exactly spoiled with an abundance of rare and exotic plants. I've had to literally crawl on the ground and bushwhack, while being attacked by clouds of various bloodsuckers to get some photos. This one is from a greenhouse, so nothing too extreme, but even so, the awkward angle of the flower and the movement of air provided enough of a challenge. Overall, I would say that to produce a decent flower photo has on average required more effort from me compared to my landscape and architecture photos. My point it, we should assess the candidates on their explicit merits alone without arbitrarily applying stricter criteria based on the preconceived notions of whether the shot was easy to take or not. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:31, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I didn't vote for the second nomination of that mushroom; I voted neutral, for the same reason as here. I never support two similar images both being FP. If we feature two images of the same species/building/landscape etc. that don't complement each other (i.e. a night shot and a day shot, or a male and a female of a particular species, or two massively different angles/compositions, would be fine for me) then we can't really say we are promoting the 'most valuable pictures from all others' as the guidelines say. Instead we should identify which is the better of those two images, keep that, and delist the other. Most FPC voters seem to disagree with me though, and your image is going to pass anyway without my support. Cmao20 (talk) 18:09, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can see why you have made the edits, cropping out the edges to remove the ghost on the left, but they have had a detrimental effect on the image quality. The version of 2014, even with the ghost there, is a fairly solid FP to me, because of the good image quality and the beauty of the motif. Cmao20 (talk) 16:12, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Cmao20, agree, somehow during the editing process some sharpness got lost. Please, check the last version --Poco a poco (talk) 17:23, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Great photo, but I'd like an opinion on whether it's OK to enlarge photos for FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:59, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Upscaled images have been a no-no at FPC as long as I've been here. There is nothing gained quality-wise by upscaling an image; the only thing that happens is that a too small image becomes technically eligible for FPC. --Cart (talk) 23:28, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:36, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Indeed there is no rule that says that upscaling a picture is not allowed (Digital manipulations). If you want to introduce this rule, discuss it beforehand in the talk page. Before you technically assess the image, first compare it with the original version that still has 3.5 MP. It's not just scaled up. And what is bad, when a picture is upscaled a bit so that you can look at it better? The result is decisive. Last but not least, I didn't hide this "manipulation", so long as it is a manipulation at all. --Hockei (talk) 08:30, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the no to upscaling is more of a practice than a written rule, it serves no purpose for the image quality. There are plenty of things that we object to here that are not written in the rules. You don't need to write down everything if common sense is used. As for looking at the picture, with today's computers and monitors, you can crank up the magnification as far as you like. Better to keep the images in their original size. --Cart (talk) 10:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ For me upscaling should always be done client-side if wanted, because uploading an upscaled image to Commons is really just adding file size without adding any extra information or quality. This is a good photo and a good QI but I'm not sure it has enough real detail to be an FP, we have sharper photos at this resolution. This said, I do appreciate you were honest and open about the fact that it's upscaled. And no, it isn't a written rule, but I can't really think of a reason why it's ever worth it. Cmao20 (talk) 10:52, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose ~~per upscaling and arguing "there is no rule".~~ Please don't do that: you can't require all possible reasons for opposing be pre-codified in rules. -- Colin (talk) 11:14, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing Category:Insect larvae FPs, I see most modern images are 13MP+ and have superior subject isolation and more typical setting. Unlike the flying versions, these are relatively easy to approach in order to fill the frame with the bug. -- Colin (talk) 13:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I really cannot confirm what you say about the quality of the pictures in this category that are comparable with my picture. But anyway, thank you so much for changing of your reason for your vote against. --Hockei (talk) 13:27, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info So then, @Colin, Cmao20, and Ikan Kekek: I've set it back to the original version even if I don't share your opinion, at least partially . And Cart, I always use my common sense. My monitor has a resolution of 3,840x2,160 pixels. And I compared both versions exactly. Nothing in the scaled version got lost it's even better. --Hockei (talk) 11:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A nice image that could have been, but in 2020 we really should have higher resolution images to call them FPs, especially when the camera is capable of 20Mpx. I'm not in favour of changing the original resolution of an image either, so that won't help. --Peulle (talk) 13:51, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But the insect was small and in hectic movement. Also I couldn't get nearer for this picture because of the tree trunk. --Hockei (talk) 14:38, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info I uploaded the upscaled version under a different name. --Hockei (talk) 14:43, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin and Cmao20: Would you be so kind and change your reason for your rejection in a valid reason or remove it? It is meanwhile invalid because it no longer applies. Thanks in advance. --Hockei (talk) 17:51, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral at least. It's better than the upscaled version but I'm still not sure it has enough pixel-level detail at this resolution. Cmao20 (talk) 19:09, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I tried to match the photo with other photos in the category, trying to estimate the location, nothing matched. I then noticed that Tomer T had moved the photo to a category with another monument ID than the one on the photo, no idea why (the tempel is part of the Grand Palace complex). Anyway, back in the right category and moved to sub-category, there were other photos from sort of this angle and I did find a likely spot for the photo. The street view match nicely. At first I looked for a pool of some kind, no luck, looks like the photographer had taken advantage of a large puddle in the street after a rain. Very creative. --Cart (talk) 11:31, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I tried to move it to a more precise sub-category because it had a too general one. I'm not sure how it ended up with the wrong category, that obviously wasn't my intention, I guess the reason is related to the identical prefixes of those temples, and to the auto-completion of HotCat.

Info A wonderful example of folded rock. This arose during the mountain formation of the Alps, some 40 million years ago. Such folds are created by large horizontal pressure in this case from Africa.

Support At first, I didn't realize the scale of it! --Cart (talk) 16:23, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question What tipped you off to the scale? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:05, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For me it was first the water below. For a "by the water" person like me, running water usually gives me a sense of how large something is. Then I noticed the tree up left, looks like a young larch, and last the tufts of dandelion leaves in the crevices around it. --Cart (talk) 20:44, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rocks tend to be fractal and thus give little sense of scale. For this reason, instructive shots of rocks (in academic papers, for instance) tend to include a scale object or a scale. See Category:Rocks with objects for scale and Template talk:NoCoins#Coins are a good maesurement for scale. HLHJ (talk) 20:38, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Folds are one of the most common textures of rocks, and this is definitely not the clearest example of a fold. The composition is not pleasing. —kallerna (talk) 05:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Wow factor for me are the unique circular folds of the figure. Completely detached from the more or less horizontal folds in this steep rock wall. I had never seen it so beautiful before. So it is not that normal. Beautiful architecture of mother earth.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:19, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No doubt there are impressive rock folds, and this might well be one of them. It’s just not a very impressive photograph of it IMHO. Just my opinion :) --Kreuz schnabel 07:13, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose In addition to what others have written above, it's not even a very useful or well-done geological photograph. As you can see from Cart's comment above, the scale of a geological photograph can be very difficult to estimate. Because of that, photos in geologic papers and textbooks always include some kind of scale. It doesn't even need to be exact, but it needs to be easy to recognize and interpret – which is why you'll routinely find geologist's hammers, coins, lens caps or geologists in those pictures. --El Grafo (talk) 12:34, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unfortunately, I'm sort of with Ikan. Doing a compo with two main objects with about the same size is never easy as opposed to compos with one or three.

This is one pedantic reviewer (= me) opposing because of one stupid little detail while almost everyone else seems to be OK with it. In the grand scheme of things, my opinion does not matter. This is your work, and if trying to fix the "issue" forces you into compromises you are not willing to make, then don't listen to me. You've fixed the halo, but lost some over-all contrast and sharpness. Personally, I like this version much better, as I think it suits the mood (although I think you went a bit too far when brightening the shadows). Others will disagree, and that's OK. Anyway, here's my Support. --El Grafo (talk) 13:38, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It must have been a nice view but the composition is not the best - especialy the foreground is rather ordinary. Also, I think that for shots like this you need a tripod. --Podzemnik (talk) 00:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per the other opposers. --Domob (talk) 16:36, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info We see the Alps from a distance of around 150 km. Such a clear view from a location below 1000 m is exceptional. The lighting situation (light on the fog, shading of the mountains by high clouds) shows the Alps particularly clearly. I also like how the Bisberg emerges from the fog. --Milseburg (talk) 07:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Podzemnik. -- Fischer.H (talk) 18:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Not totally sharp at full size, but full size is huge, and the altar actually is pretty sharp at full size. Very nice church, good natural light. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support But I would change the description: The photo does not show just “Pulpit of the St. Ägidius church in Kirchaich”, but a view of the interior of the church. --Aristeas (talk) 07:39, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Good but not my favourite of your church interiors. A bit too much floor and not enough of the more interesting ceiling for me. Quality is fine considering the high resolution. Cmao20 (talk) 14:49, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Cmao20. Also slightly underexposed, and no wow for me. —kallerna (talk) 17:05, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose imho it's not outstanding. --Ivar (talk) 18:10, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice QI that shows the mountain very well but the light and composition is a bit boring for FP. There's nothing at all wrong with it, but it doesn't strike me as outstanding. Cmao20 (talk) 14:45, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Cmao20. --Ivar (talk) 18:13, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Interesting composition and the view. More special light would make it more wowy though. --Podzemnik (talk) 00:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question Check category. Most of the pic including the viewpoint is on the Polish side. --Kreuzschnabel 11:10, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Not very sharp, blotchy sky, no outstanding composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:51, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Stunnig subject but the light and the quality are not very exciting. Stitched panorama under better light conditions could definitely work though. --Podzemnik (talk) 01:31, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per the others. The subject is nice and the picture good (maybe a bit soft), but the composition and light are not outstanding. --Domob (talk) 05:58, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Light too harsh, leading to many overexposed or at least washed-out areas and blueish colours. Sea and sky are rather noisy. The sky colour seems to switch from turquoise to purple in the center. Special nitpick: the horizon is rising slightly to the right, maybe a 0.01 degree tilt :) --Kreuzschnabel 07:03, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Would be nice to use the {{Panorama}} template on stitched images. --Kreuz schnabel 07:08, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
