Comment On what would you like me to go? --Cephas (talk) 15:33, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...I find there is a serious lack of good architecture photography... but that's a completely different fish... :) --ELEKHH^T 22:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But architecture is much, much easier to take than birds: doesn't fly away! --Cephas (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you mind some other opinion... How about simply some other wildlife animals ? It seems to me you could share us some pretty good stuffs - Benh (talk) 22:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on this already, but apart squirrels, mammals are elusive and don't cross our way too often. --Cephas (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it is anything like here, it might pay to go out at night with a spotlight to find them. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Since we're playing puppeteer... Personally I want you to keep providing us with awesome bird photos. In fact, I've put your lens on my wish list and am hoping I can oneday do a similar job in Australia (as JJH is already doing). --99of9 (talk) 12:46, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- Could you please denoise the background? That is an easy thing to do nowadays. Alvesgaspar (talk) 01:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you denoise the background without affecting the sharpness of the bird? (I will finally learn to decrease ISO when enough light is present!) --Cephas (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I carefully selected only the background and denoised it. I uploaded over the top, but feel free to revert if you don't like it. Maedin\^talk 00:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The long exposure in this picture is a well known procedure to get this kind of effect. However, in this case it causes motion blur at the people in the picture. Also, there is overexposure at the top of the gorge.--Snaevar (talk) 15:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Overexposure, motion blur (I don't mean the water, I mean the camera was bumped). --The High Fin Sperm Whale 06:10, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose --Only featurable at thumb size. Sting (talk) 14:20, 27 February 2011 (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: not featurable quality

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.

~~Oppose~~ For me the yellowish color on the crane, the captains deck and the tower above that is a no-no. Pictures outside of commons tell me that those places are supposed to be white (just as the nearest surroundings), but of course you may try to prove me wrong.--Snaevar (talk) 12:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can compare colors on title "MAERSK RIESA" at backside - clearly white. I don't know why yellow color was used. Also this ship at first years after construction was blue, not typically black as some tankers. -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 12:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  - I am surprised they let vote, a stranger who did not produce any photograph. I draw the attention of the community about your behavior strange. It will be very easy for a critic to your level to amaze and delight us with your production. If I'm writing here is that on your talk page you erase the criticism you are doing. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Is this really worth arguing over? Let's talk about the image, not those voting on it. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 17:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You're right, one should talk about pictures, but nevertheless: FPC rules have changed. According to the new guidelines, only editors whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote. I can't see a single edit (picture), only opposing votes. I'd like to know, why someone can vote without fulfillig the criteria for voters. If I not have the right to vote by not having 50 edits, I think I have also not the right to oppose. --Llez (talk) 20:11, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Are we still using that rule? The vote was 11-9 to get rid of it. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 23:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, we are still using that rule, and actually it was 10-9 to get rid of it. The conseus was a heated discussion of what should have been a fairly simple conclusion and ended with one of the Commons administrators deciding the result.--Snaevar (talk) 15:29, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Imaginative artwork of having the sun in the image does not work for me. It looks like the brightness of the sun has caused some cusps of light probably due to internal reflections within the lens. The cusps are fascinating - is there a name for this phenomenon? I find the foreground is unbecoming. The resolution is good enough. Snowmanradio (talk) 14:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like how the Sun, its lens flare and the Statue of Liberty share the composition, even if the lens flare was an accident, though I would like the bit on the left cropped out since it isn't even symmetrical in any way. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 04:01, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Info Night photograph of the Upper Belvedere palace in Vienna, Austria.
Support -- Murdockcrc (talk) 19:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Dull colours, and rather dark, even for a night shot. Looks very slightly tilted to left as well. - Benh (talk) 20:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As Benh, could be more sharper. --Mile (talk) 20:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I like the colors and their atmosphere, has the feeling of weird and mystical. The image is sharp, maybe a bit noisy (ISO 200 would be better), but that's still ok. I have a problem with the composition: At such symmetrical buildings with reflections the image should be centered what isn't the case here. I would crop ~12 pixels at the right and ~312 pixels at the top. Then I would support this very nice photo. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 21:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative 1[edit]

Comment Modified the exposure to make the palace brighter without clipping the highlights and applied some sharpening. Feedback is very appreciated. --Murdockcrc (talk) 15:29, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice improvement but I would still oppose. You're not helped by the lighting scheme itself, which is pretty basic. - Benh (talk) 22:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose, per THFSW. His arguments are valuable for an oppose vote too... This is a very nice picture, which could win in a contest, but I do not know how to use it in projects. There are many other sites where to show this kind of (very good) images. Only my opinion.--Jebulon (talk) 11:15, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Remember that Commons is not only supporting Wikipedia. I imagine this could be used as a generic image in a Wikinews article like this or elsewhere. --ELEKHH^T 13:21, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for information. I'll try to remember, but I think I know well enough now what "Commons" is or is not ...;). I know too that this picture will be feature-d. In my opinion, only in my opinion, this (nice) image has no (or a very little) educationnal value and is not feature-able for this reason, sorry. --Jebulon (talk) 10:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Amen O my Lord. Sed qui bene amat, bene castigat. --Jebulon (talk) 19:56, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Don't misunderstand me, I am very glad you give so much attention to educational value! Nevertheless I think there are multiple ways an image can be educational. In this case I imagine you refer to a lack of EV as the image does not show any details of the horse or the vegetation etc. But as a highly impressive image, it can help attract attention (i.e. readers) to an educational article, thus indirectly leading to an educational benefit. More directly, it shows the silhouette of a horse in an aesthetically pleasant way, which might make viewers want to learn more about it. -ELEKHH^T 21:11, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I can agree with all of that. I understand what you mean. My oppose is "weak". But I oppose, indeed...--Jebulon (talk) 00:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Je pense comme elekkh que tu as tendance à trop valoriser le côté encyclopédique d'une image alors qu'on est sur Commons, mais nous en avons déjà suffisamment discuté... À la rigueur, il faudrait penser à faire l'équivalent du FPC sur le Wiki français (seul grand wiki sans !!) - Benh (talk) 13:05, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Je pense comme Archaeodontosaurus (et d'autres) que tu as tendance à trop valoriser le côté "concours de beauté" dans FPC alors qu'on est sur "Commons". Il y a beaucoup d'autres sites, et des meilleurs, pour montrer et juger de "belles images", alors que "Commons" est unique. Nous ne nous accorderons pas sur ce point je le crains, et en effet nous en avons déjà discuté (suffisament ?). Je crains que ton interprétation de la pensée d'un autre ne soit pas tout à fait conforme à ce qu'il dit, en ce qu'il confère tout de même un aspect encyclopédique (ou éducatif, pour mieux traduire) à la beauté de l'image en question et tente de m'en convaincre. Je pense au contraire qu'il conviendrait de supprimer les FPC des wikipédias nationales (anglaise, turque, allemande essentiellement), qui n'apportent rien et ne font que créer de la confusion, d'autant que la tendance est à regrouper et à faire migrer tout les stocks sur "Commons". J'attache énormément de prix au côté international de "Commons". Je considère enfin que les discussions particulières et les interpellations ad hominem n'ont pas leur place sur cette page, surtout dans une langue qui n'est pas usuelle pour la majorité des utilisateurs. --Jebulon (talk) 17:10, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I've no issue with switching back to english. I remind you again part of the guidelines : "Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.". That's Elekhh's point. Another issue, unlike en:FPC, you can't weight your vote on Commons, no need for weak or strong vote. - Benh (talk) 09:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        
        My concern was not only about the use of english or french...--Jebulon (talk) 11:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        
        After re-reading the guidelines (rule 7), I see that I was wrong (only) with this part of my sentence above: but I do not know how to use it in projects. It is not a valid reason to oppose, ok. I still think so, but please notice that it is not the main reason of my oppose. I maintain the rest. To me, this picture is suffering of a lack of educational value. Then I still oppose for that. It was a weak oppose because I used a contrario the same arguments used for a weak support by THFSW. Please notice that I didn't use the false/wrong template. This kind of trial sounds ridiculous. I never go to ENWP FPC (only one time, when they promoted my écorché), and I don't know what happens there regarding the vote process.--Jebulon (talk) 00:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you very much for the critical comment! I know what you mean but a same scale is in a paper not really necessary! Normally scientific journals want to see under each picture a scale. If you want, I can make such a scale but to my mind those things disruptive the picture because my intention was only, to take a nice scientific photo that showed many details of a skull of a juv. crocodylus sp..

A bit of bad faith here... You are right for the underexposure; but really the point of view is more suitable to avoid reflection.

Oppose Since this is a boat ferry picture, I think there are two ways to get it featured. The first is to have a good DOF so the landscape is what makes the picture great. The second is to have near-perfect quality of the boat. Unfortunately, though, this picture does not have a good DOF or sharpness and a slightly too much overexposure (wrong time of day, IMO), that makes the white color look a little off. Additionally, of-course, every image should have a decent composition and here even the water trails of the boat are not fully on the photo. It´s a no for me.--Snaevar (talk) 12:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Info painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, digitized by Google Art Project - uploaded by DcoetzeeBot (bot of Dcoetzee) - nominated by Dcoetzee -- From en:Netherlandish_Proverbs: "Netherlandish Proverbs (also called The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) is a 1559 oil-on-oak-panel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder which depicts a land populated with literal renditions of Flemish proverbs of the day. [...] There are around 100 identifiable idioms in the scene". This particular digitization, from the Google Art Project, is not only higher resolution than our other copies of the same work (5649 × 4000 or 22.6 megapixels) but also has better colors and is sharper, allowing elements that were not discernable before to be identified (see e.g. this fish). It's used in 46 articles on 29 projects and currently has 44 extracted images depicting individual proverbs. Has a good artwork template with 10 translations of the title, albeit missing provenance and accession number. On the minus side, it could definitely use image notes and Google's title for the work (The Dutch Proverbs) appears to be their own invention (possible rename?).

I'll mark some of the boundaries to help your eyes.

File:Common kestrel falco tinnunculus.jpg, delisted[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes.Voting period ends on 6 Mar 2011 at 10:37:18

Info The originally uploaded picture has obviously been greatly modified~~, and not particularly well~~. I suspect that the whole background has been replaced - the perch looks square edged and manmade, what were the original surroundings?. Ok, we have no particular problem with edited images if it is well done, and disclosed, but here it is neither. For instance the tips of the tail feathers should be white and rounded, this bird has had them snipped off - I expect the original had a much lighter coloured background at this point, and in cutting out the bird from the background, they were lost with the background. On the original upload there are a couple of white specs in this area which were probably part of those feathers. There are editing artifacts all the way around the outline of the bird. (NB I am not complaining about the subsequent editing for the FP nomination) --Tony Wills (talk) 10:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Perhaps there was some fixup done just near the tail, but the rest of the photo is as shot. The feathers around the bill look very consistent with the background. Has anyone asked the photographer for comment? Tomfriedel (talk) 02:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I put an initial question on his talk page, no reply yet. Everything below the perch worries me, the background has a different texture (smooth) than above. No sign of the talons from the front toes appearing under the perch (what is that perch?). I think the photographer just cleaned up the image but wasn't aiming to submitt it to FP, if he would upload the original image we could maybe redo the edits. --Tony Wills (talk) 03:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I once had the idea to clean up some of the bird featured photos, and selected this one first: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LilacBreastedRollerCropped.jpg but it was not delisted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomfriedel (talk • contribs)

I don't believe in delisting FP images that were up to the standard at the time (others disagree ;-), but in this case it is a recently promoted image that clearly failed what I thought was a standard here : edited images are fine so long as the editing is disclosed and not apparent (so I am not so much concerned with the quality of the photo, but the quality of the edits). --Tony Wills (talk) 21:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Info Andreas has sent me an unedited version, the falcon is perched on top of a white sign, the white tail feather tips are very difficult to see against that background but I think that we can retrieve them, the talons on the front toes are hidden by the sign. I haven't yet seen the camera original file, so am not sure yet whether we can get a less compressed version (with fewer JPEG compression artifacts). --Tony Wills (talk) 20:02, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delist opposed when it was nominated. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 16:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Info Andreas sent me the original and I have re-edited it to include the tail tips and eliminate the visible jpeg artifacts. I have adjusted levels slightly, but haven't increased saturation or adjusted the colours. The original background was fairly noisy, so I have smoothed that out with a gausian-blurr. Others may be able to do a better job, so I have uploaded a jpeg of the original too. (PS I love the sign in the original, it is as though the Kestrel is guarding the area, and directing you to read the sign :-)

- I disagree. I think if the background were more in focus people would complain that it's distracting, same vice versa. In this case it's sharp enough at full resolution that you can see what the plants are, and they're all pretty evenly lit with no 'disturbing shadows,' but not so sharp that it draws attention away from the lizard in question. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 03:11, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image.

Support A previous edit of this image was promoted as FP, but was delisted due to a few short comings, see previous nom & delisting. -- Tony Wills (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think there could be some substantial undisclosed editing going on below the railing. In particular I think that some or all of the space below has been replaced with a fake background. Particularly on left hand side the tone suddenly jumps from dark above to light green below along the fence line. The rate of this tone shift seems inconsistent with the amount of background blur. Secondly the railing is blurred at the edges above, but sharp in places below. Finally there appears to be direct evidence of cloning on the lower left hand edge of the railing. I'd like an independent assessment before making such accusations though. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, it is disclosed it seems (so I am wrong there), but still obvious in my view. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well the original edit got through FP with little trouble, where were you then :-). I must admit that my editing concentrated on repairing the bird, I am not really much fussed by the fashion for blurred, blank, backgrounds ;-). Perhaps someone with a bit more skill would care to tidy up the image (or start again from the original :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:04, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, sorry to waste your effort a bit. It might be technically possible to improve the consistency of background, but I'm not a photoshop whiz. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:00, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I would not bother with elaborate work on the background, since the quality is not up to the standard any longer: lack of detail due to heavy posterization (also, the head does not seem to be properly focused). It is essentially a bird without details in front of a photoshopped background. But I admit it looks nice as thumbnail. --Nikopol (talk) 12:44, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "not up to the standard any longer" ? Boy-o-boy standards have improved in 3.5 months :-) It might be worth reviewing other FP promotions during November 2010 :-)

The quality is good and as for the crop it a little bit of splash cut out isn't much and if it were to be included it should be widened on both sides so it would remain even.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the suject-title is much too small and a terrible picture quality. --Sting (talk) 00:23, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can see why it was submitted to FP, the strong diagonals of colour and cryptic horizon look quite good at 640x475. But at full resolution it certainly has problems. For an image taken at ISO 64 and 10Mpx resolution, and 11MB in size I am surprised at all the artifacts. I would love to see the non-photo-shopped original. --Tony Wills (talk) 11:50, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It seems that two pictures were stitched together in a rather bad way: see the horizon line! Lower part is oversaturated, upper part is full of artifacts and noise. -- MJJR (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral How do you overexpose a white object? Do you want it grey? However, it is not very sharp, and having the rear in front of those clouds is not good for composition. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 19:18, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was to be the seventh, but I have a little doubt, it seems to need a small correction, the tower at right looks leaning in the wrong direction : the dark aperture behind the broken balcony looks distorded. Too heavy persp. correction ? --Jebulon (talk) 14:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Jebulon, the tower seems to lean in the wrong direction because the slant is different in the front than on the back, that is, the slant in the front is of a different angle than the slant in the back, you can see it in the second tower also. If you were to look at the towers from the top down, the center of the top portion would not sit in the center of the bottom circle, it would be off-center. This can be appreciated when you look at the towers from the side. Perspective correction always distorts something else. The only way to really get better perspectives is with view cameras or perspective correction lenses. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment –Very nice indeed, but the visual impact could have been even greater with a slightly different position of the sun, illuminating larger areas of the rock.

Yuh, I don't hate the style, and it's even pretty attractive. But when there are technical faults, one must mention them right (Since we can't trust you on this) ? And it's not like Llez can't repeat the shots easily. - Benh (talk)
- No, I have criticized Llez's pieces that I thought might've been flawed before. The difference is that my primary approach is visual whereas you criticize from a technical ideal justification. For example in one case you claimed that, despite visual evidence that to me seemed to indicate otherwise I had provided, that a piece Llez nominated was unsharp merely and solely because of the technique that was used. It also seems a lot of your issues with Llez's pieces are that an even number of shots usually isn't used like you would prefer. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 10:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It really was unsharp in that case... And I justified because of the technique used. You're the one who thought that shooting at narrower aperture was enough to improve quality and DOF, the one who mistake perspective issue with architectural feature and the one who ask people to use measure unit that isn't provided... That's why I think you're not trustworthy as a FPC reviewer... and yet you dare looking down on others as making decent points. Where are we going ?? - Benh (talk) 17:58, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And there you go again, posting more attacks and snobbish opinions like an expert, but not only were you unable to read my comment to W.S. about the image he linked on that candidate where I explained that I mistook that user's intention of adding that image like an alternate candidate, you continue to make quite loud your ignorance of issues that can occur with panoramic imagery that lead myself and another C:FPC user who's been around here far longer than you to make such a mistake. Oh, and, myself excluded, six people disagreed with you that the image was unsharp. You aren't making decent points and we wouldn't miss you if you left, you're just being smug, trollish, disruptive of polite conduct that we are accustomed to here, and I think that funny-looking bridge might be the only image you've ever supported anyway. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 22:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are skirting very close to personal attacks here IdLoveOne, please tone it down. I'm not sure who you mean by "we", but you certainly aren't speaking for all of the FPC community when you suggest that Ben should leave. Further, you may wish to check your facts: Ben has been here for quite a while, and has supported plenty of images in his time.--99of9 (talk) 05:36, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...And what of Benh's attacks on me, 99? I try to be civil, but I do not apologize for what I said because he doesn't and it annoys me. Almost any other user here I can have polite disagreement with, but oh no, not Benh. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 07:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

None of the people mentioned that the image was sharp... and the people who were against clearly mentioned it was unsharp. Anyways... You can read any article you want about anything, nothing betters experience in my opinion. I believe I have some when it comes to panorama, whatever you might think, and the records speak for myself. The link you provide proves nothing about the Carcassonne FPC... and I'll risk myself into saying the other user you mention doesn't know much about panorama either. When you try to prove something at least check the facts better, as advised by 99. This isn't the first time you're a bit too quick to come to a conclusion.

    - Certainly. But for me a gastropod isn't only a beautiful shell.--Citron (talk) 13:41, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - If you have a look on the recently featured Picture of a Fingerprint Cowrie you can see, that the shell is completely covered by tissue, it isn't visible! And this is the case in many marine species. You can't make photos of the shell of many species when they are alive, and you can't "see them full and in their natural environment". Nevertheless, a shell is very important for taxonomy, visible or not in living specimens. So it is quite different to photograph shells and to photograph living animals. It always depends, what you want to show. I photograph shells, there are other photographers, which make pictures of living gastropods. We need both on Commons! --Llez (talk) 18:51, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you completely misunderstood what he wrote about. Sting (talk) 12:12, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. Snow and ice are white or rather when light hits/enters snow or ice crystals they reflect back white light. Therefore a photograph of ice is to be expected to be white and radiant and seem overexposed. That page is more about his method of compensating through deliberate underexposure, but I'm just making a point. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 13:35, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I´m talking about overexposure in the top left, just as THFSW voted on. The first alternative picture is better than the second, but I must agree with Sting, that you are not quite getting the idea.--Snaevar (talk) 13:52, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overexposed in the top left and motion blur on the bear, yes. (changed the wording of my vote to reflect this)--Snaevar (talk) 14:54, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@IdLoveOne : what the guy wrote is that if you take a picture of a very clear subject (here ice), the exposure meter of the camera will try to get a middle gray scene, underexposing the ice, so usually the photographers compensate a bit to get back the correct balance of the scene and a bright subject, but Mr Zuckerman prefers not applying that correction and he never wrote that ice/snow should be overexposed, on the contrary as a burnt photo is lost. Note that for a dark subject it's the contrary, the meter trying to get it gray... and it's what happened here as the bear is in the shadow while the upper left corner is in the sun, that's why this area is blown as no compensation was made. Sting (talk) 22:13, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, I didn't say the snow should be overexposed. I said that because of how light works with snow when photographed without a compensating method it will appear to be overexposed. He underexposes his snow imagery and then digitally enhances them later. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 00:03, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

« with snow... without a compensating method it will appear to be overexposed » at the contrary !! « ...sees overexposure of ice and snow as natural » well, your first comment leads to misunderstanding, but that's ok. Sting (talk) 00:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- No explanation or mitiganting reasons for the small size. And I fail to understand why it was promoted to QI -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:23, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Start by asking how many microscopic images are candidates for QI, let alone FP. FP doesn't even have a category for microscopic images. Mitigating reasons? Have you ever tried taking microscopic images? One problem is that at high magnification, depth of field is incredibly small, so only a small portion of the object is usually in focus - focus stacking can help. Next the camera on the microscope usually doesn't have any seperate lens system, you can't zoom in, the raw image is a rectangle containing the circular view of the microscope stage as seen down the barrel of the microscope. Unless you want to have lots of black around the edge you crop that off, ie extract a rectangle from within the circle, within the raw image. In this case the object fills the whole cropped image, it is not like an insect or animal that probably on fills a quarter of the field of view at the most. So it is a different category of image, rejecting it out of hand is unreasonable. Is it so common place that we have lost the sense of wonder, of wow!, when we see the insides of a cell? --Tony Wills (talk) 20:22, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I believe many of us are well aware of the difficulties posed by traditional microscopic imagery. Still those difficulties are not, per se, enough justification for promotion. On the other hand, the fact that a certain image is not promoted doesn't take away any of its intrinsic encyclopaedic or educational value. As for the sense of wonder, which is a major component of the FPC evaluation, it is totally subjective and varies from reviewer to reviewer. Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:20, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Bullshit! Try to buy a microscope camera under 2Mpx these days. Not possible. And if not a dedicated system, use a T-mount/C-mount and with a +10 Mpx camera you can crop 3/4 and still fulfil the FP requirements. And then there are stacking and stitching, a breeze on mostly stationary microscopic images. W.S. 15:11, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

where do you see high overexposure? curious greeetings --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He's just using the histogram. The image has a lot of highlighting, but there's no clipping so there arguably is no overexposure, certainly none that the eye can see. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 09:22, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am using the histogram. Most of it is in the forground, that is in the bush in the bottom right, in the flag next to it and the tree to the far right (all parts that show clearly visable overexposure). But, apart from the houses in the background in the center of the far left of the image and the sky there is overexposure everywhere.--Snaevar (talk) 13:33, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I look at pictures with my eyes and not with the histrogramm an I can see everythink clearly. Also the sky has a visible painting with blue parts and clouds with different tonality. --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:39, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Wladyslaw. Also, the medium of photography is an art, which is to be evaluated with the eye to the actual picture, and not with the mathematical charting of the EXIF data histogram. The histogram cannot determine whether a picture is good or not. This picture appears well exposed to me. LeavXC (talk) 23:56, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like it. I mean, the forest was chopped down leaving a raw wood, so the colors are raw as well :-) Sky is cloudy and it is obviously hard to make it not at least a bit overexposed. Using a grey filter would harm the trees leaving a "black something". But the colors and the topic is an absolute WIN I must say. The only thing I'd like to change here is format: widescreen shot would be a bit nicer. --Aktron (talk) 09:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The top of the trees are unsharp, along with some disortions. There is a cropped clump of wood and a falling tree on the left who are both partly cropped out and a branch out of a tree cropped out on the right giving a bad composition.--Snaevar (talk) 00:10, 10 March 2011 (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: Resolution is 1.09Megapixels, witch is below the expected minium for Featured Pictures of 2Megapixels

Support The image gives a good impression on the object, and the nocturnal conditions give it a fascinating spin. Positive yes. P.S. While the image is not contrast-perfect, it does provide a fine contrast between the blue horizon (dark color) and the white monument (light color). It could also be argued that the highlights in the foreground give the Wikimedia viewership a hint of the fusion between historical traditions (the monument) and modernity (the lights, electricity, and so on and so forth). I do not think those negative comments above should be taken seriously, therefore. --Александър (talk) 21:42, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What happened to the EXIF data? Has the photo been edited? →Spiritia 11:03, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've used Noise reduction and Crop commands in a photo-editing programme. That's why the exif-data are not presented, are they obligatory? Иван (talk) 12:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not obligatory, but desirable. You can do all of those operations whilst preserving exif too. Just don't use "Save for web" etc. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:45, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've always considered EXIF data in (originally digital) photos as important as the Reference section in the articles. They very much add credibility to the author, as well as helpfully inform the other photographers of parameters like ISO, speed, aperture, etc. See Commons:EXIF :) Maybe you can upload the original photo (under a different filename) and let us know the name of the editing program. Thus you may obtain a more particular advice of how to preserve the EXIF data. →Spiritia 13:05, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I've no time to come back to this file again, but I'm going to preserve the exif data in all pictures, which I'm going to upload in Wikimedia Commons later. Иван (talk) 11:47, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is an 82 degree photo stitching panorama (8x3 +/-2ev 55mm 3872x2592 exposures). To me it seems very sharp and rich of details. The main historical buildings of the city are visible. Cypress and olive trees in the near field are among the most popular features of the Tuscany land. In my opinion the major technical flaw is the overexposure of white walls of some buildings hit by the sunlight, visible at the pixel scale. -- Fabio ginestrini (talk) 20:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although it may not be of a more interesting topic, the image properly illustrates the subject in a well-developed portrait. It is rare to get a high-quality head-on image of an actor to be released under a free license, and this one seems to me to illustrate the encyclopedia article well in a similar manner to the other actor portrait FPs. --Happy editing!

Comment Aktron actually has a good point here. Sure, the space shuttle lands at speeds above 300km/h, but just as with racing track pictures, I imagine that the camera is in a fixed place, witch makes the level of the picture a preparation issue. Also, there is plenty of commons pictures of space shuttle landings who do satisfy this criteria.--Snaevar (talk) 23:52, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unlevel per Aktron.--Snaevar (talk) 14:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support The levelness clearly cannot be judged by this picture per me. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 00:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Level issue. Could be easily edited and, frankly, missing space can probably be reconstructed with a bit of work if cropping the tail is an issue. Rama (talk) 07:48, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Info Level? The runway is not a horizon! The photo is taken looking on an angle up the runway slightly, instead on straight across, at right angles. The camera is very slightly tilted too, which can be judged by looking at the red/white marker post and the steel tower in the background. You can rotate the image by about 0.69degrees clockwise to correct that, but visually it makes very little difference to how the image looks and the slight JPEG processing just decreases the image quality, a small gain in one area, a small loss in another, why bother?. You could do a 'perspective correction' and get a nice horizontal runway, that makes it look as though the shot was take at the exact moment that the shuttle came abreast of the photograher ... except for the paralex error, you could still see the far rear wheel rather than it being hidden by the near rear wheel. So are people complaining of a 0.69degree fault or the runway not being horizontal? Why not accept the image isn't technically perfect (what image is?), and judge it on the value - the historical significance and un-repeatabilty of the image? --Tony Wills (talk) 22:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rotated to make verticals, vertical. Runway still not horizontal.
Rotated to make runway horizontal. Parallex error with rear wheels.
Perspective correction to make runway horizontal. Parallex error with rear wheels.

    - Desculpe, mas você analizou a imagem de forma incorreta. Isso é ação da natureza. Claro que isso é causado por ventos cisalhados que ocorrem muito nessa região. Isso causa o efeito de riscos no céu azul. Não há motivos para discordo certo?
    - Sorry, but you analyzed the picture incorrectly. This is the action of nature. Of course this is caused by wind shears that occur in this region too. This has the effect of risk in the blue sky. There is no reason to disagree right?
(Response to User Snaevar) (Português) Desculpe, mas a foto esta plenamente boa o que para algumas certas pessoas que só querem mais a plena perfeição, o que essas pessoas dificultam muito. E a sua conclusão sobre céu distorcido, você foi longe de mais. As manchas pretas que você fala são pegadas de pessoas. (algo que não incomoda a leitura da foto). Sobre a tal escuridão no canto da imagem sobre a água você esta sendo precipitado. Ok?!!(English - Sorry, but the photo is fully sound which to some certain people who just want more full perfection, what these people very difficult. And his conclusion about fuzzy sky, you went too far. Theblack spotsthat you speak are footprints of people. (something that does not bother reading the photo). On this dark corner of the image on the water you're being hasty. Ok?!) Um abraço Micael 106 (talk) 20:03, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think I need to clarify a few things. First of all, if the Portuguese comment would have been in spanish, then I would have understood some of it. The existence of the black spots as such is not a problem, I would just like to see them better. And the dark spot in the center to the left edge of the image, is actually the last thing I noticed and you would be wrong if you you think that I haven´t thought about it before I posted my vote. Plus, I can´t belive that you would not accept to make a few changes to the photo, like cropping it to on the left edge. FP is the place that has the most demands for photos for a reason, and one of those are that FP´s are all included in the Featured pictures of the day, witch are displayed on the front pages of the majority (if not all of them) of the 279 wikipedias out there. There are less demands for pictures on QI, than here. Finally, I can´t see why I should make a compromise meanwhile there is no sign of that you would be willing to make one yourself. --Snaevar (talk) 15:41, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did a bit of tilt reduction here. The car roofs can easily be cropped out. Also, I could not expose the tower any more without blowing the clouds.

Yeah, I saw that, but I do not agree with the smorgasbord of licensing approach. In the Americas the FAL is almost entirely unknown and untested legally. Almost everyone here intending to use the image who would show up and see the NC clause in the CC license would be discouraged from reuse, and I find it to be on shaky ground to say one license does not permit commercial reuse while the other does.

Oppose ~~overblown whites~~, but mostly the standard, centred composition of a common bird, taken from a not so good angle, makes it below FP to me. --ELEKHH^T 20:53, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question What do you mean with "overblown"? There are actually only three pixels in true white, I've screenshotted a histogram, see here: ; the contrast may come from the spot metering on the gull which was illuminated by the sun.

Oppose Supersaturated, bad cropping, low depth of field.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 18:17, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support there is no need for a large DOF to illustrate the behaviour of a material under UV illumination, I believe that you do not need to play on the saturation to get those colours, people in dance halls are glowing like this when illuminated with UV... Grand-Duc (talk) 20:36, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support~~ I believe this is a macro shot, hence the apparent low depth of field. And I don't believe it's over saturated either. Not ultra sharp (maybe because of f/16) but fine given the size, and interesting subject to me - Benh (talk) 21:33, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment for Benh. Uncivil/unnecessary comment removed.[11] It is by no means macrophotogrphie, this type of specimen is around 10cm. The subject is oversaturated because neither siderite and even less wolfrmite are fluoresent. Now it appears here in a beautiful purple. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 11:17, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Yes, I should have searched before. I've also checked for size. There seems to be smaller than 10cm specimens. I've also checked that filling an APSC size frame at 60mm with a 10cm big subject can require to be rather close (depending on the point of view and given it's not 10cm an all sides), hence the DOF issue. I also found that some apatite crystal glow the same way under UV waves, but the photos I found weren't this saturated. Changed my vote to reflect. - Benh (talk) 11:56, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Well, it's a good stuff, but unfortunately, not a good for a FP. I mean, I made quite a lot of pictures oversaturated like this one, all my friends told me, they are "psychedelic" and now I hate my self for uploading them few years ago :-) --Aktron (talk) 22:43, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's strange logic. Where do you think I said that? Are you implying that a map cannot possibly have visual impact or be historically notable? --99of9 (talk) 20:58, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying it's an old map. It is what it is. And you can't forget that aesthetic tastes have changed in a hundred years and that for certain object there's a higher or lower need for aesthetic presence. A map is not generally even today something people make so that it can be a gloriously beautiful thing, usually it's just meant to serve a utilitarian purpose, but IMO that shouldn't mean it shouldn't be worth any consideration at all. -- One, please.

Oppose Food photography is definitely a tricky domain. I think in this case the lighting is too harsh, making the white plate too preeminent, and giving harsh reflections on the food. The DOF is not optimal : the focus should have been done more on the foreground (fish) ; not on the sidedish (broccoli). The cook's advice : I would never allow a plate to get to the patron with such an unsightly drop of gravy on the side. It would have taken half a second to wipe off. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 23:00, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's my understanding that a lot of food photography doesn't even use actual food or they spray it with something inedible to reduce the glossiness. :) -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 20:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, AFAIK, it's exactly the opposite : they spray cold food with something glossy to make it look hot and moist, rather than dryed out. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 03:26, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sun was just over the right top corner, so the sky looks brighter on the right side, and additionally a polarizing filter makes the sky look darker on the left side.

Oppose Unsharp, especially at full resolution. There are tons of great photos of Ardea herodias available, and this is not among the best. I would nominate for VI. Steven Walling 01:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose body is quite noisy and the back wing is so dark. --99of9 (talk) 21:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative[edit]

Comment I made some cleanup of original foto, also i try this alternative, due to wingspan i think its better portrait mode. --Mile (talk) 21:32, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good quality, but other than that, I'm not thrilled. Part of the spire is blurry, probably because this is a stitched image with one of the source pictures being blurry - Benh (talk) 21:15, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
