  • On the basis of historical significance — it's the first documented aerial photograph and the file is remarkably high quality. -- RootlessCosmopolitain (talk)
  •  Comment - I understand your point of view, but it's not the point of view that wins the day at FPC. We reward excellent digital restorations and expect the restored photo to include a link to the original. You could make this argument at VIC, though; people might be more receptive to it there. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • As we both know, it is not possible to take this frame with both the butterfly and the flower focused. IMHO it is disruptive when the flower is so obviously OOF. As I said it's a nice picture, but I think this is not your best butterfly image. —kallerna (talk) 10:55, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • BTW, found one butterfly-shot from my galleries, and the flower is not disruptively OOF (of course a completely different setting and location). However, it's a common species and the background is rather distracting - would not support that nowadays. —kallerna (talk) 11:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Happy to support delisting of your image. Settings are always a compromise. Your flower is only so-so, but your choice of 1/200 sec and F14 mean that there is zero detail around the head of the butterfly. My flower is in focus, but with little depth of focus.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Je ne suis pas certain de la façon dont le dessin a été réalisée mais le plus probable c’est que : le dessin est fait par des traits au crayon, on a utilisé un pastel blanc pour faire les nuages, mis une « couleur de fond » qui serait peut-être un lavis et enfin certaine partie sont laissées sans rien. Après on a édité cet œuvre. Je ne connais pas le procédé de reproduction et je n’ai aucune idée si le lavis a été imprimé en couleur ou en gris. La volonté ou la nécessité pour l'auteur était d'obtenir 3 nuances plutôt que 3 couleurs. Comme j’ai refait un cadre blanc cela ne me dérange pas de proposer une version couleur. Pour moi, ça tient plus du goût de chacun que du respect de l’œuvre originale. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - Merci, S. DÉNIEL. As long as we don't know what color the paper originally was, I'll support both versions, though I prefer the colored version as a matter of taste because it feels more volumetric to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:44, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Caution: El Grafo over-analyzing again. Read at your own risk, BYO grain of salt. Is there anyone around here with advanced experiences in making darkroom prints from B&W negatives? I've got some thoughts on this, but lacking practical experience I'm really just hypothesizing here: There's a strong difference in contrast between different sections of the frame. The background is rather bright, very flat, almost foggy; the middle ground with the main subjects is very contrasty with hard shadows, suggesting strong sunlight; and the soil also shows a gradient in contrast and brightness towards the lower left corner. It's entirely possible to encounter atmospheric conditions like this, and the darker soil in the centre of the image may be due to different levels of organic matter content (darker = more manure/dung). However, to me it looks like that was (at least partially) done on purpose during print through dodging/burning (they already did that in the 1920s, right?). And it makes sense to do that, as our mind tends to focus on areas of high contrast. But here's where it's getting tricky: Bright areas also attract the eyes, and mine are drawn towards the bright background much more than they are drawn to the contrasty subject. The latter mostly consists of totally crushed blacks with a few almost purely white spots (shirts) in it. I'm tempted to call this print "over-processed".
Anyway, I do like the composition a lot. I find the subject very interesting. I enjoy how the buildings seem to disappear in the fog (or maybe more likely air pollution). And on top of all of this, this picture was created by one of the pioneers of photography, so who am I to criticize her? But ultimately, to me the picture fails at one core aspect: depicting the main subject. And I think that might be one of the reasons for the low participation in this vote so far: It's a great shot with lots of potential, but it's not quite doing what it was supposed to do – leaving mixed feelings among reviewers. --El Grafo (talk) 09:25, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If I were editing and overwriting the original image, of course I would ask him, but that is a very different situation.

Insect flower art
  1. Firstly, the resolution is ridiculously weak for a FPC! Without the black frame, only 1250 x 1270 px? Less than the minimum requested in the guidelines. And I see no justification for such a tiny size, on the contrary, since it is a photomontage, we could expect larger than what the camera recorded.
  2. Secondly, too kitsch for my personal taste. Of course it is "cute" and colorful, but frankly this is also too repetitive. Aesthetically, that style reminds me the dot stickers of my childhood :-) It occupies the time, but creativity is also very limited. Although I love Arcimboldo, Octavio Ocampo and Oleg Shuplyak, I really don't think these patterns are up to this art. It lacks subtlety and singularity in my view.
  3. Thirdly, a butterfly on a real flower, with a true photographic composition (and its natural flaws, giving life and soul) would have been much better in my opinion. Now I just see a huge black background, glaring colors, and a boring copy-paste method.
Sorry, this is maybe innovative compared to what we're used to meet here, but personally I don't like this patchwork. Looks too artificial, and it lacks poetry in the way I feel. Your pictures of animals in their natural environment are usually a thousand times more captivating. -- Basile Morin (talk) 16:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Sorry, I had uploaded the version I used for the magazine. A higher resolution version is now uploaded
  2. but it’s still kitch!. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:36, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes:D However, with this new resolution also come new issues, in particular the sharpness now is far from homogeneous. Compare the blue butterfly for example, to the red bug it hosts, at full resolution the rendering is technically flawed -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

COMMON POPPY IN A MEADOW IN MAY 2020
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Plants#Family : Papaveraceae
  •  InfoPoppies are considered weeds,but with their red color, they embellish any outdoor space and impose themselves for the liveliness of the colors, they grow spontaneously both in cultivated land, in the middle of wheat fields, and in meadows. Poppy is the flower symbol of the Italian partisan struggle in the Second World War. Poppy as a symbol of remembrance. The tradition comes from a poem of 1915 called 'In Flanders Fields' written by John McCrae and dedicated to a friend of his who died in battle. In the first verses the poet cites poppies as the first flowers that appear in the rough field after the battle. created by PROPOLI87 - uploaded by PROPOLI87 - nominated by [[User:{{subst:PROPOLI87}}|]] -- PROPOLI87 (talk) 08:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- PROPOLI87 (talk) 08:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - Better depth of field than the last nomination, but no great composition. One specific issue is the random bit of another flower on top. The grass on the left and the glary light don't help, either. Probably a QI, I think? But I'm not sure what would happen if it went to Consensual Review. You might consider posting some photos at COM:Photography critiques for some specific advice. You might have to wait a while, but when people do post there, they are helpful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:26, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose My critique is this: simplify. Red is a very powerful color and must be used carefully. The cut-off flower at the top and the flower at the bottom left simply compete for attention and distract from the main subject. Additionally, there is quite a bit of glare which robs the colors of their richness; you'll find that cloudy days are often better for photographing flowers. -- King of ♥ 14:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree with KoH. I think what this image lacks is a careful composition, the fragments of other flowers at the top and bottom distract from the main subject too much. I agree with Ikan that it might be a good idea to try Photography critiques. Also, just to note, I think the category is wrong, the common poppy belongs to the family Papaveraceae as opposed to Ranunculaceae. Cmao20 (talk) 14:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Purple roller (Coracias naevius mosambicus)
  • “Least Concern” is a misleading term, Ikan Kekek. It relates only to the risk of extinction. The porcupine is classified of least concern, but I've never seen one, never mind photographed it. The same applies to practically every tiny mammal, unless they are enticed by food. The purple roller is not a common bird. I've seen a few, but this is the only one I've been able to photograph. Of the five South African rollers, the most common is the lilac roller, with hundreds of good photos and four FPs. You see it every day on safari. It perches in plain sight and does not scare easily. The least common is Coracias spatulatus. I've never seen it. Not a single decent image on Commons. But still classified as ‘of least concern’. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:22, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: At only 0.96 Mp it is way below the minimum of 2 Mp. Also poor scanning quality and cut text on both sides. Please read COM:IG. --Cart (talk) 14:10, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply] 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.
  • Ok, I'll strike the FPX for now, but there is something going on with the file and it keeps reverting to the smaller size. Not sure what you did. You should also add an appropriate gallery as per the original instruction when you created the nomination. It seems you deleted that. Take a look at the instructions on COM:FPC. --Cart (talk) 18:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apologies: yes, I meant overprocessed, although I'm realizing that that doesn't really fit either. With a backlit scene like this, you would normally either have the sky over-exposed or the subject under-exposed (possibly both). There are ways to overcome this, the most common one probably being merging multiple exposures into an HDR image and then tone-mapping them back in to a regular LDR image that can be displayed on a normal monitor. Depending on how you do that, it can look quite natural, painterly hyperrealistic or like you're on some kind of trip - the latter one or two (depending on how you like your HDR) often being called "overcooked". Upon closer inspection, it appears that here a simpler approach was chosen, where the over-exposed sky was replaced with a well-exposed one. There's nothing wrong with that in principle, it just doesn't look convincingly realistic to me in this case. The clouds feel too dark in relation to the rest of the scene. The contrast between shadows and direct sunlight in the foreground feels too flat to me. For instance, I'd intuitively expect the "white" stripes on the house on the right to be much closer to actual white/clipping than they currently are. --El Grafo (talk) 13:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - In neither of the works by Rembrandt given as reproductions in the linked article does he give one of the brightest spots to a random area on the upper left corner of the picture. Instead, the backgrounds are dark to black. So I don't think this is a good example of emulating Rembrandt. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:58, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan Kekek I have made a small adjustment to the exposure. You can see the characteristic triangle under her left eye a little bit more. I think El Grafo is right. The intent was must have been some sort of en:Rembrandt lighting. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 10:52, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's all about the subject, background doesn't really play any role in how you classify basic portrait lighting (). The important point here is the triangle of light on the darker side of the face. Also, it's a photography/cinematography term, not an arts/painting term afaik. Despite the name, Rembrandt is not really the reference here. Some random references: [2], [3], [4]. The lack of photographic examples in the article is weird, I'll see if I can fix that – maybe eve with this one ... --El Grafo (talk) 11:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Thank you! It's a stitched image out of 187 single images. I took them with a focal length of 600mm (prime lens) on my Canon EOS 5DS (full frame). The stitched image has a full resolution of 1448 megapixels, but I had to scale it down for computer performance reasons and because of the 30.000 x 30.000 pixels limitation of the JPEG format. Because of the extreme conditions (heated air flow) not every single image is perfectly sharp, so that I besides improved the overall sharpness with this downscaling. -- Wolf im Wald 01:03, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dew fly on the top of a Montbretien blossom in a garden of Bamberg. Focus stack of 17 frames
  •  Question @Ermell: can u enlighten me a little? I'm doing mean/median stacking. I guess it's the same principle. There's a pre stage which consists in aligning the pictures (because in my case, the pictures are taken from a slightly moving drone). So my question is: if the leaves move very slightly, your process/pipeline will align everything right. Am I correct? Thanks - Benh (talk) 09:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment No, I'll have to rework it by hand. The less the object has moved the better. Still air is ideal and I always use a tripod. That is certainly difficult with a drone.--Ermell (talk) 10:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. And it's actually not so hard to realign drone shots as long as the drone stays still enough (obviously) and it's high enough to minimize parallax errors. - Benh (talk) 06:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Helicon Soft aligns my hand-held/monopod-supported images quite well. If I have moved sideways too much, then I align and crop manually getting it as close as I can then the software can usually cope. You need to make sure there's only one 'in focus' insect or whatever in the frame so that the software doesn't get confused. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:29, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, but I would expect some minor correction. For example, if you photograph a bird in a dense forest, the WB is going to naturally be very green, but our goal is not to preserve that but dial it back somewhat. Having the paper lean slightly in the magenta direction is appropriate and expected; it's just too much here IMO. If a correction would rob the mangosteens of their color, the correct thing to do is to increase the saturation afterwards. -- King of ♥ 02:25, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question - In these situations, is the white balance off, or is the correction changing things to look different from reality? I ask because I don't know how you're thinking about it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:36, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no such thing as reality, only what looks natural. If you stay in the woods for long enough, your eyes naturally cover the scene in a magenta veneer, but the camera sensor is not stateful. If we always wanted to capture the "reality" of whatever the sensor saw, then why do we even have WB controls? -- King of ♥ 17:01, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Our eyes are really powerful devices. They can see something as white even though it clearly have a tint because they compare it to its surroundings (see w:The dress for an example of this phenomenon, i.e. colors only exist in our eyes relative to other colors). But when we look at a screen, any color cast hits us in the face because we compare it against the rest of the screen which we take as our definition of true white. -- King of ♥ 23:07, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, interesting. By the way, that dress is obviously blue with black stripes. I don't understand how someone with normal color perception could see it as white and gold - that's crazy to me! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:17, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The one on the right has been cut open? Adds more illustrative value, I guess. Nice use of depth of field, the nearest ones are perfectly sharp and the background ones properly blurred. Overall I agree this is one of our best shots in the food-and-drink category, well done. Cmao20 (talk) 23:29, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Antoniuskirche, Frankfurt am Main-Rödelheim
Thanks. It is a dark church and as you can see, most of the lights are switched off, so I think the representation is rather faithful to reality. Generally, I would rather say that there is a tendency to display gloomy places like church interiors brighter than they are. Regarding the perspective, I would think that it is fine, even though I understand that very wide angle pictures sometimes appear to be slightly off. --DXR (talk) 10:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially, these are as far as I know the only court sketches we have from the US Supreme Court, made by one of the three court sketchers left.

  •  Comment They are a bit small, but if it's the full and original resolution that is shown here, I suppose it could be OK. There are small paintings and drawings in the world, after all. I'd be interested to hear more about that. Another thing, though: the metadata shows this copyright text: "©2019 Arthur Lien. No usage without prior consent. All rights reserved." I'd also be interested to hear how this connects with the Commons licensing. An image with restrictions is less useful than a freely licensed one.--Peulle (talk) 11:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    There is prior consent - it is given in the OTRS ticket. I don't view "All rights reserved" as having any legal difference from "Some rights reserved" when coming from the author; in both cases, the author technically still reserves all rights, but may choose to license any of them as they see fit. -- King of ♥ 13:11, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Peulle: The copyright notice in the metadata is pretty common among artist that digitise their works, because it makes it easier to proof their case in court when there's a copyvio. However, Arthur Lien released these two under a CC-BY-SA license and confirmed this via OTRS, and he presumably didn't change the metadata. There is - I believe - a version with a higher resolution (not sure what the difference in pixels is), although Arthur chose to keep that one in case someone wants the highest resolution - so they'd still need to pay him. The resolution right now is still good and it's unlikely we'll (possibly ever) get a SCOTUS sketch in a similar or higher resolution. --MrClog (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, if this is a case of images of reduced resolution having been uploaded to Commons rather than the full resolution versions, I'm afraid I'm going to have to  Oppose as a matter of principle.--Peulle (talk) 15:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Peulle: Actually, it appears we do not have a reduced res version. If you look at the webstore, the best download they sell is 865 x 1225px, and ours is better than that. I suppose he uses the higher resolution version like this one if someone purchases a printed version. --MrClog (talk) 17:01, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's fair enough, I suppose, so I'll remain  Neutral on this one. Just so I'm being clear for the future: if someone out there has a high resolution image, then uploads a lower resolution of that image to Commons and keeps the higher one for themselves, I will never support it as an FP.--Peulle (talk) 11:30, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose until the above problem is fixed. For a building that is actually tilted in real life, it's important that the tilt is captured accurately on camera, otherwise the picture is misleading. At the moment it makes out that the tilt is more than it is; as KoH points out, you can tell by the reflection that the picture clearly slopes upwards to the right. Otherwise this is great and I'd like to be able to vote support. Cmao20 (talk) 00:04, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

People often cut hair in the backyard of their houses, and btw hygiene in the third world is different, what you call messy is more reuse of recycled materials as the only option as objects are almost never discarded. --Wilfredor (talk) 18:14, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Fascinating creature but I'm not sure of the wisdom of featuring an image where most of the subject is out of focus. I get what you were trying to do, but I don't think it works for me Cmao20 (talk) 21:24, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
