SHORT DESCRIPTION
It is not because you never saw, that you could affirm that do exists.
You (all) do not understand the impact of this "theories". -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 01:43, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
? As I said, there's an entire genre of manipulated/staged images of snails, so finding a couple other examples of snails on flowers doesn't disprove anything. Importantly, however, the two you have linked appear more realistic than this one, as the snail is not sitting atop perfectly intact dandelion seeds, as though it fell onto the flower from above.
If anyone is interested in discussing it more, I mentioned it here: WikiProject Gastropods. — Rhododendrites talk18:01, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Why does one Wikipedia, in this case, in English, has the authority to decide things here?
  2. If the capture is rare, it shouldn't be here? ??? Now can we not have rare events registered? A straight answer: is it impossible to happen? No. So we should discuss the photo, not this theory.
  3. If it is staged, results of stack 300 photos, has a studio... nothing, nothing of this matters. If it is a good photo, the style does not matter.
Photos are not a thing that came straight from the camera... It never existed.
We have Commons:Featured_pictures/Places/Interiors/Religious_buildings#United_Kingdom several images that were have manipulated and are the junction of several photos, none of that was signalized as photo manipulation, but as they have a certain look, they don't need to accomplish all the exigencies that you all made for the other photos.
Was pretty quickly to remeber why I do not use more of my time to bring my best photos to Commons. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 00:45, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why does one Wikipedia, in this case, in English, has the authority to decide things here - it doesn't have any authority here. The subject is a gastropod and that is a group that knows about gastropods. I opened the thread in the hope that someone there could provide insight. Ideally, they could say "it does not look staged," and I would likely apologize and strike my oppose vote.
If it is staged, results of stack 300 photos, has a studio... nothing, nothing of this matters. - As I've said (and as I've voted in the past) we should absolutely be open to promoting any of these things... but we need to know if they're staged, if they're composites, if they're studio shots, etc. For one, they should to be described as such; secondly, our standards shift somewhat when the photographer has more control. This is why it's harder to promote an animal in a zoo than a wild animal, and why we have higher standards for sharpness and lighting in a studio shot. — Rhododendrites talk01:41, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Rhododendrites, you are only forgetting one small thing, this photo is the first place at WLE internationally. A lot of specialized wildlife photographers evaluated this photo, and it is mandatory for the contest that the capture was in a protected area.
What you are saying is: "Wikipedia has better photo specialists than the WLE, and I can evaluate the photo better than the local jury and the international jury of WLE."
-- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 06:03, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Were there gastropod specialists on the WLE jury? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the local juries were clueless when it came to selecting winners. WLE has not bothered to list this year's international jury. In previous years, a number of judges were not noted for having photogrpahic expertise. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:13, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

q.e.d.

I have nothing more to add. It is now not only disrespectful to the photographer, but also to WLE volunteers, and judges. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 02:50, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Definitely upscaled and looking at it, it does indeed feel like that. I don't see a need for that I'd support if fixed. The quality is not great but given the lighting conditions good enough to me. Poco a poco (talk) 11:13, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment As a matter of fact, the guideline wording is way out of date. AI software like Topaz Gigapixel AI means that upscaling can enhance quality. I use it for making large prints. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:40, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment @Bodhisattwa: FWIW I consider the last 5 images on their own a valid set, showing progress of the same animal over time. (Though maybe it could be wise to omit the freshly formed pupa since its background is quite different. Alternatively just have a set of 3 showing the eclosion.) -- King of ♥ 03:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • IamMM: if you mean the images with the sole swimming, I agree, those are also interesting but a pretty diffent shot than this one. I'd indeed like to try a nomination somewhen with this one, too. From all shots of the sole laying on the floor I believe that this one is overall the best one, specially in terms of quality. --Poco a poco (talk) 13:23, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, quality is better than the others but on a subject like camouflage, I prefer this one which shows more details of how it works. The image you mentioned is also worth the nomination IMO, I find it interesting that camouflage is effective even when the fish is swimming. -- IamMM (talk) 16:31, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Roques de García, Roque Cinchado, Mount Teide, and Roque Torrotito (from left to right), Tenerife
  •  Comment Comparing them I see advantages and disadvantages for both of them. The contrast is handled more gently in this photo (in the other one more shadows are almost black); however because of that strong contrast the midtones show more ‘clarity’ in the other one. The other photo seems sharper, but that could mostly be due to more sharpening in post (the border between hills and sky looks a bit like cut with a saw in the other photo; maybe the sky was processed separately with a mask with hard border?), in this photo some details appear less sharp, but in return more natural and appealing. In the end it comes down to the fact that both are different photos taken with different settings and processed differently; the other one was focussed more on the background, the present one more on the foreground, the other one was processed with stronger contrast and sharpening, this one with more gentle settings, etc. --Aristeas (talk) 13:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Both photos are interesting. One difference that to me is in favor of this one is that it lacks really blurry areas, which when they're in the foreground can be disconcerting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:27, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Female Green Basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons) in Costa Rica
Not so. iNaturalist's Research grade is a junk description. iNaturalist is like Wikipedia - a great place to start with for an id, but not one to rely on. Don't you think this reptile is Basilicus vittatus and not Basilicis plumifrons? Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The color of the juveniles is different from the adults, so I also looked both at B. plumifrons & B. vittatus juveniles and B. vittatus has pretty clear latereal stripes I don't see here. B. plumifrons usually has white dots I don't see here, but it also says they can be missing. The distribution range matches for both. --Lupe (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Well, indeed a bit more sky would make the photo even more attractive ;–) What do you (all) think: Would it be ethically OK to add a little bit more (artificial) sky? The sky is almost featureless, so adding some artificial sky would not adulterate the photo. To make clear what I mean I will try to create and upload an ‘amended’ version; if you don’t like the result, we can just revert it. --Aristeas (talk) 16:06, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Here’s my two cents: I actually don’t mind the top crop (imo it is sufficient except maybe in the top left corner, where the highest peak is a bit close to the edge). Idk if this makes sense, but I kinda think of the mountains as part of the sky. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 17:00, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Negative votes with no reason are not very constructive and fortunately extremely rare. The guidelines say "Explain your reasoning, especially when opposing a candidate" and "Unhelpful reasons for opposing include: No reason". Did this user found unnecessary to repeat "per Colin" like the three others above? It's a shame this vote occurs only 12 hours before the end of the voting period. Still I think in the past we used to validate such controversial scores, like here for example -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zebra sea bream (Diplodus cervinus), Teno-Rasca marine strip, Tenerife, Spain
  • Well, there are 2 option in terms of focus, I either got the fish or the background, and if it had been the latter it wouldn't be a candidate. Regarding where the focus point is, I just installed this Lightroom plugin (no clue why Adobe is not providing this feature) to figure it out and it is quite in the middle of the fish, which is of couse a matter of luck underwater as I cannot prepare and shot as I can do over the surface. Poco a poco (talk) 10:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • To be honest I'm not sure what we are discussing here. The focus is on the fish, the fish is flat and in a parallel plane to the chip on the camera, so the question about wheter the focus was on a proper spot is a secondary issue for this kind of subject. I'd understand this discussion with a subject with one end far from the camera and the other one much closer. Poco a poco (talk) 22:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seems blurry. Motion blur at 1/250s? The tail is totally blurred and the fish seems to leave. Concerning the focus point, it also depends on the speed of the animal. Leaving fast = distance increased from the focus tracking to the shot recorded -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:10, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Well, I have asked myself the same and have taken a closer look before voting. There are some differences between the building façade and its reflection, e.g. some “smears” in the reflection and some additional highlights here and there, which show that the reflection is at least not a simple copy of the image of the façade. The reflection also shows both at the left and at the right margin an additional ridge turret (or however this may be called) which is not visible on the façade. And I did not find any very obvious transition problems at the borders of the puddle where the reflection ends. Of course I know this does not prove much, but at least the reflection is not just a simple copy, so that it would be a shame to fall for it ;–). IF the reflection is artificial, the counterfeiter has obviously made some effort to disguise it. – But what do our experts for fighting fake photos think on this one? --Aristeas (talk) 14:05, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It's a fake. If you take the photo, copy it into a layer, flip it and adjust it to 50% opacity, the building and reflection will fit exactly on each other. That doesn't happen with a real reflection. Since a reflection is always "looking up from underneath" the original, the horizontal distances between roofs and windows will be different in original and reflection. That is how you spot these fake reflections. Also most reflections will have a slight perspective distorsion. This one hasn't. There might have been som small puddles on the ground and the creator simply extrapolated on it. --Cart (talk) 16:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think it's a fake reflection. The gates definitely aren't fake because they simply cannot be copied, mirrored and paste (or it's an extremely good job). And it's normal for the temple to match its reflection from where it is. - Benh (talk) 18:16, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I wonder whether parts of the reflection (the gates, and maybe parts of the roofs of the building) are genuine and other parts, especially the central parts of the facade, are fake/artificial. --Aristeas (talk) 19:05, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose fake. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:51, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Assuming the gates are genuine, we can affirm the water was still, and explain the overall sharpness. I looked a bit more carefully and the temple is definitely not a copy and paste. From that angle, it ought to look very similar, but there's a slight misalignment between elements of the roof which tells me it's also genuine reflection. Why would author do such a manipulation? - Benh (talk) 06:29, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The reflection is not a copy-paste of the top. Agree with Benh there's a slight perspective effect leading to a tiny misalignment, indicating there are two different views. The camera was probably placed on the ground. However 1) the picture is  Overprocessed, an impression several of us have here, and that can be confirmed by looking at the other uploads of the same user (example of over-vivid-saturated colors), and 2) the upper part of the image was manipulated because two branches of the roof have been deleted at the left and at the right (see image notes), while they are visible in the reflection. Enough clues to conclude to a fake IMO -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:26, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you all. I can't personally comment on whether it is fake or not, but due to the 5 comment on the undeclared manipulation  I withdraw my nomination. --IamMM (talk) 09:51, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comedian Sasheer Zamata during a performance at the Tribeca Film Festival
 CommentI now realize that this is not going under portrait, but under people at work ... where there are more interesting images. I am a bit confused why some of them are there and not under portrait, perhaps exactly for that reason? --Kritzolina (talk) 11:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think the distinction is a little unclear. Based on the current taxonomy, I tend to think of portraits as depicting people sitting/standing/posing for the portrait (intent/context) while "people at work" is for people actively engaged in their work. Maybe it would make sense to have something like a "performing arts" section, of which "musicians and singers performing" would become a subsection. — Rhododendrites talk18:30, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1930s self-portrait by Will Burgdorf
I've found a slightly higher-resolution version, although I can't tell if it is of higher quality. Updated with the suggested crop. As a general note: I've shown this to a few people and something like 25 % are completely blown away by the optical illusion it creates while the rest looks at me as if they are worried for my mental health. So this may be somewhat similar to that golden or blue dress from a few years back. In any case, it was always obvious that it wasn't going to impress with its pixel count, and applying such criteria to art may be easy, but wrong. Karl Oblique (talk) 01:29, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's a pretty strict rule. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:55, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should talk about this rule for historical images of articstic value, but with the current version, we now have a white line at the bottom that would need to be cropped and a white spot in the upper right corner that should be easy enough to fix --Kritzolina (talk) 07:11, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose A very interesting photo, educative and inspiring, but what we would feature here is a reproduction of that photo and to do this we need a reasonable reproduction, i.e. sufficient resolution and quality. The original is intentionally mostly out of focus, right, but I want to see this in the reproduction for sure and to study the gradation from sharp to unsharp etc., and therefore I need a certain resolution and quality. --Aristeas (talk) 07:32, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Oppose It's a good diagram, but looks too simple to be an FP IMO. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:39, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose for the moment. I think "too simple" does not quite hit the point there. Having an appropriate level of abstraction is an important trait of a good illustration, and I think this one is almost 100% spot-on in that regard. It would make a great VI, but it is not flawless. 1) Conceptually: The whole nX thing only becomes clear after reading the description and looking at a picture like File:Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong.jpg. And even afterwards, I don't quite understand how this would be relevant for what's being shown here. 2) Visually/aesthetically: I don't want to go into too much detail here*, but in essence, the balance between thickness of outlines, fonts size, size and visual weight of operators and spacing between elements and sub panels is off. It feels crammed, and the labels, pluses and arrows are a tad too dominant. The chosen colors remind me of 1990's Excel defaults for diagrams, which were easy to distinguish but not particularly pleasing to the eye, to say it mildly. The shading successfully delivers a 3D feeling, but I've got the feeling that reserving the brightest/punchiest colors for the small triangles on top may not help with visual attractiveness. --El Grafo (talk) 10:00, 10 June 2022 (UTC) *Sorry, can't help it: One problem is that the pyramid in the second panel from the right is poking out of the whole arrangement in a way that is not balanced with what the nX are doing. That could be counter-balanced by moving the nX further up, but then you increase the white space between them and the drawing below. Balance that by moving the panels further apart (too tight anyway), keep adjusting until everything falls into place. Alternatively, putting the nX below the towers, maybe even removing them completely, might work better. Sorry again, I'll shut up now.[reply]

Edwin Lutyens' design for The Cenotaph
  •  Oppose We have thousands of documents like this on Commons. Not one of the best IMO. Simple sketch with nothing more. Technical drawing, far from a piece of art. Subject in itself boring in my subjective view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:09, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Compared to the original, almost no difference in my point of view, concerning the restoration. But as part as the original is concerned, it is not an exception design.

Namaqua Chameleon (Chamaeleo namaquensis)
About the bug maybe, but speculating about the interaction between the chamaeleon and the person is part of what makes the picture interesting to me. It does tell a short story. You see where the chamaeleon was coming from, what it is focused on right now and what it wanted to do next. Maybe the person also wanted to take the bug away to lead the animal somewhere else or just stop it right before it's eating the bug since there are no finger marks in the sand. I don't see any manipulation with the hand clearly visible and I also don't think the head is blurred. --Lupe (talk) 16:38, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is like a building, in my opinion. The fact that this building exists somewhere in the world does not necessary mean its architecture is incredible, and thus automatically an FP. We're here to select the best images in some categories. The building needs to be interesting in itself, special in its kind, having shapes particularly attractive, so that the "wow factor" is there. -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:24, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This are Bivalves, most of your links (with the exception of link 1 and 2, the right and the left valve of the same species in a nomination of a set) are gastropods, a completely different group of animals. Please remember: We have more than 80.000 known Mollusc species, why should only 2 or 3 worth to be a FP? If you argue in this way, please have in mind that we have "only" 70.000 vertebrate species (Fishes, Amphibs, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals). Following your arguments it would be enough to have 20 FPs of Vetrebrates. But please count the birds alone, you never opposed a nomination of a bird with this argument. Why not? The same is with the insects. How many butterflies do we have? More than five? I think so. How many landscapes, how many buildings, churches,... and so on. --Llez (talk) 15:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  1. This is absolutely wrong to pretend I never opposed a nomination of a bird with this argument. We can dig the archives to exhume these reviews if you want. Pigeons and chickens that were "not special enough" for FP, like this shell, have been declined.
  2. The fact there are 80'000 town halls or theaters somewhere doesn't mean all of them should be promoted at FPC. Only the most interesting ones, IMO. Image guidelines: must have a "wow factor". Valued Images have different requirements, and all of these pictures could find a place there, with a right label. But here we need a bit of emotion.
  3. It would be the same for a fish, a flower, a beetle, a microbe, or anything else: Banal shape = Ordinary subject -- Basile Morin (talk) 17:10, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, some parts of the luminous squares are burned out, with blue chromatic aberrations around. The building is not visible, so no link is explicit. Like a focus on an insignificant detail, or an ordinary phenomena captured, overall I feel there's nothing special out of there. Unbalanced composition with hazardous framing, and at full resolution the texture has not the homogeneous charm of this aspect for example -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:08, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 01:30, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Even though the discussion seems to be already decided, I want to give this picture some love. Because although the counter-arguments are plausible, I personally like this picture very much; obviously it is a matter of taste. Technically, the CAs could easily be removed; the fact that the highlights are broken out is not a bad thing in my opinion, since they are strong reflections that simply have to be 100% white. The decisive question here is whether the composition appeals to you or not. It has been called chaotic; that is not wrong, but a bit austere – one can very well sense the underlying window grid. I am reminded of some of Paul Klee’s abstract paintings, which also live from the fact that a grid is (apparently randomly) only partially filled with little squares of colour; and indeed the value of this painting lies in this, in the abstract composition that combines chance and order. --Aristeas (talk) 15:55, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I agree that the photos from that film are very interesting and it is great that you have transferred them to Commons. And indeed, while the images alltogether are impressive, it is difficult to select some of them as FP candidates – maybe just due to the fact that they are indeed stills from a movie. Nevertheless there are at least some very nice portrait-like shots among them, e.g. this one – one has to accept the raindrops (?) in the background and the bottom left corner is a bit unfortunate, but the facial expression is good, as are light and colours. And there are probably more good candidates … --Aristeas (talk) 08:55, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I was also thinking maybe for a this. But I'm struggling to select one or two images that stand out from the rest. But at the same time, it would be good to show the filmmakers, that images like those are appreciated in here. It was also shot as a trilogy to cut costs and therefore it might be possible to get some more interesting images. Kruusamägi (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Weak oppose lovely flower and a pretty good shot of it, but I don't think it's quite up to the level we've come to expect for flowers at FP. Obviously we don't want all of our FPs to be studio shots, but there also needs to be some additional "wow factor" to make up for busy backgrounds. I hope you'll nominate something again in the future, though! — Rhododendrites talk19:53, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Have to agree with Benh, the perspective distortion due to short distance somehow ruins an otherwise excellent effort. In the front view, it makes the lens look too huge and the body smallish. Compare with this one showing no converging lines. Maybe this could be fixed by software but needs to be done IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel 16:49, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your photo is simply advertising photomanipulation, I guess. My photos - focus stacked only. --Alex Florstein (talk) 19:43, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It’s not "my photo" ;-) it’s from the official Nikon image database. I didn’t intend to advertise anything, and it wasn’t even meant as a counternomination, it was just to show that the proportions of the lens (yes, I know, it’s a different one) and the body can be shown in a much more balanced way. There is no manipulation needed, just a bit more distance. Sorry if it came across as an insult. You might have noticed that I said these pictures are otherwise excellent. --Kreuzschnabel 21:46, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kreuzschnabel: no, it's okay, it's not an insult. But the official photo is too perfect and "inanimate" to me. My photos are not perfect geometrically, but alive. --Alex Florstein (talk) 06:28, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Kreuzschnabel, your link is to a computer generated rendering, not an actual photo. -- Colin (talk) 11:48, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am fully aware of that. I am talking about perspective, not perfection on surface cleanness. The rendering has been done from a more distant (maybe infinite) viewpoint, showing the lens and body at their respective sizes. The photo nominated does not. I just wanted to give an example this is not necessarily so. Whether or not one may consider this a drawback is a matter of taste of course, and as far as I’m concerned, I do. --Kreuzschnabel 12:28, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Funny, to me one of the nicest shots I've ever taken underwater. Apart from your oppose it's a bit surprising to me that the moray image (4th moray shot I nominate to FPC) got much more support than this shot. This look reminds me to a rose in a garden. I can also say, that this species is not often and I also believe that the quality is pretty good for underwater. --Poco a poco (talk) 14:42, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't remember having seen lots of morays, so I'm fine with it. To me the subject is centered in quite a bland way, and lit in a flat way. I was quite surprised to see that this coral can actually be much more "3D" than hinted here. Maybe a lower vantage point of view would have given it more justice? And I trust you the quality is good for underwater. Hence my QI suggestion ;) Anyhow, just one opinion amongst others. - Benh (talk) 16:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is an amazing image, but it feels small and I'm not sure the quality, although great for 2005, is overwhelming enough for the size.

 Comment Thanks for the feedback -- I see what you mean. Unfortunately I'm not sure what/if I can do about this; individual spots and things like that are easy to retouch, but for wide areas of sky it usually just becomes worse if I try that. --Domob (talk) 11:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Question I don't know the technology/process, but if this is a common problem with a stitched sky, would it not be better to use fewer images? The frames are less than 2000 pixels wide which seems strange. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • In case it helps, there are a thing or two you can do to mitigate : 1. ensure you are in manual mode and that all source photos are taken with same exposure (and focus, but that's not the topic here) ; 2. Process them exactly the same way ; 3. Your stitching software probably has a "exposure optimisation feature" to mitigate exposure differences ; 4. Last resort, brighten the sky on that source photo where sky which is darker before stitching. If you do 1, 2 and 3, you should never have to resort to 4. but we're all human and can make mistakes in the rush of the moment. - Benh (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks Charles and Benh! I always do 1, 2 and 3, but will take a closer look today again at the raw frames to see if I find any specific flaw that I can correct (or maybe as Charles suggests tweak the included/excluded frames and/or masks). --Domob (talk) 04:16, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done I've now uploaded a slightly tweaked revision, where I tried to improve the "worst offender" in terms of sky (on the left side of the image slightly above the mountains). I also tried a few different other things with the raw frames, but unfortunately wasn't able to produce anything overall better. --Domob (talk) 08:45, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose That might be a cruel vote, but 1. that patch of darker sky is mostly gone, but there are still seams in the sky 2. a busier sky might have helped composition wise. 3. the cut off river bending is a deal breaker. - Benh (talk) 09:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks for the feedback, I can definitely see your points (although I personally don't see them as deal breakers, otherwise I would not have nominated the image). Unfortunately for 2 and 3 in particular, there's nothing I can do about it obviously; that's just how the weather on the day was, and how the view from the platform looks like (but that's not an excuse of course, your points are valid). --Domob (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vincent van Gogh - Starry Night Proposed replacement

  •  Info Too dark, second version of Google Art Project alternative version (by Paris 16) has better lighting. (Original nomination)
  •  Delist and replace -- IamMM (talk) 05:48, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose For now. This is maybe my favorite painting. And you are right that the new version has better exposure. But I don't know what went wrong with the shadows which are darker that the current FP. Details are lost in the process. I have the feeling that we could pull out more details from the current FP which some slight curve adjustments. - Benh (talk) 07:54, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment and btw, it looks like this is not a new scan by Google Art Project but just an alternate processing from the same source by Paris 16. I personally was misled by the wording. - Benh (talk) 08:55, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose And I think the version by Paris 16 needs some work to make it very clear this is a significant deviation from the Google Art Project version by a Commoner, not a faithful reproduction of an actual artwork hanging somewhere. I see no reason to support this. See Musée d'Orsay for comparison. You might like the brighter one but it doesn't have much Educational Value. The clue, about "too dark" is the word "night". -- Colin (talk) 12:41, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think there is a connection between the current FP exposure and the "night". In The Starry Night, which has similar conditions, the night is also depicted but with much better exposure. There are two images in the museum link that Colin put, the current FP image and another version with better light. -- IamMM (talk) 13:52, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • that's very persuasive indeed. I first thought the current FP is underexposed and agreed with IamMM, but this is like photographing an underexposed image. If the source material is already underexposed, there's no reason to fix it. Even more in that case when it would supposedly not be faithful to the actual painting. Maybe I'll go back to Orsay museum someday but I think we can safely assume the exposure from the museum's and GAP's versions is correct. - Benh (talk) 14:34, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • This image also belongs to the Orsay Museum, why not assume this to be true instead of the dark version? The darker version in the museum site also has better light than the current FP, IMO. There is no doubt that GAP is very valuable, but in this nomination I realized that you can not always trust its accuracy. -- IamMM (talk) 15:20, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think you are also right. believe I tried to chose my wording to imply that the real painting could be brighter, but I'm not in front of it so... Also, usual exposure rules of night shots don't apply here. What now looks almost certain is that Paris 16's version is too bright. The shadows are also too dark, with details that can't be recovered (and that is my main reason for opposing the replace, otherwise I would be more neutral). - Benh (talk) 15:37, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The brighter photo by the museum is still quite a bit darker and of a different color than the nominated photo. I haven't been to the Orsay in years, so I don't remember how the painting looks well enough to judge. I'll cross out my vote. But I think it's too much to ask us to judge how accurate the photos are. What happened to the former regular here who lived in Paris and nominated some great photos? It would be nice to hear his take, but he hasn't been here for some time. Is there anyone reading who's been to the Orsay recently enough to judge these photos confidently? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:15, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to what is written at the top of CFCF user page, it is unlikely that you will find an answer to this question. Except for the overly bright image of Paris 16, I did not find any other suitable alternative. -- IamMM (talk) 00:29, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment That is a good point and I was also hesitant at first for this and similar reasons. In the meantime, however, I personally think that this photo shows precisely the tension that is Paris: a famous centre full of culture and lifestyle, but where housing and living are extremly expensive, and endless suburbs with ever-decreasing standards all the way out. From these suburbs (here, a still quite prosperous one can be seen in the foreground), the gaze then wistfully wanders to the glorified centre, whose lights shine in the distance and where many of the suburban residents work, but without ever being able to afford to live in the centre or enjoy its attractions to the full. (At least that’s what I’ve been told by friends who live in Paris themselves.) So I accept the divided theme of this photo and think it is indicative of this city.

*Answer: In this case, I didn't have much choice because the hogweed just happened to be here. The size of the flower bud, the color and pattern of the bud, The position of the leaf on top of the bud and the position of the sun this was the best position.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:54, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On the right, no matter what you do photographically, you won't see more of the lake, as it is obscured by trees. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:46, 21 June 2022 (UTC) P.S. I'll move the file after the nomination period to something like "Clouds are moving in near Lake Helen, Lassen Volcanic National Park", as the current title seems to be misleading[reply]

  •  support until proven it's north FP worthy. First, there's too much IQ not to support. Next, it looks soft, but judging by the bits of dust here and there, which are sharp, I guess this is as good as it gets. Speaking of that, you might want to nominate that edit instead. It has these hairs/dusts cloned out. - Benh (talk) 17:25, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Both of these are impressive reproductions of a pastel to me. It's not really clear to me why I'd pick one over the other, so I'm supporting both. == Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beautiful morning view of Padma Bridge under construction, in November 2021
 Comment Unfortunately not everyone whose photographic skills deserve a better camera can afford or even lend one - especially in countries like Bangladesh, where photographic equipment is even more expensive than in European countries while the average income is a lot lower. But I agree with you, that it would be wonderful if the photographer could take more images with better equipment and bring them here. --Kritzolina (talk) 13:16, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
