Laon Cathedral Nave
distortion --The Photographer (talk) 18:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I see what you're talking about now. It's not distortion, it's the actual shape of the building. The leaning horizontal lines are in the original files before stitching too and I make sure my camera is completely horizontal and centred before I shoot. The leaning lines that you noted are probably partially because the choir is not aligned with the nave - if you look carefully you can see that it angles slightly to the left. Diliff (talk) 19:16, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I make sure my camera is completely horizontal and centred your comment
There are not always and visual hints that you are off-centre your comment
After reviewing the photograph from top to bottom I have concluded that the photograph was not taken from the exact center. I recommend the use of laser device to find the center. --The Photographer (talk) 10:58, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I added two notes mores, I see the same situation in the windows and columns. Maybe it appears to be a bit stiff towards the upper left corner? --The Photographer (talk) 19:34, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's possible you're right that I wasn't centred, but the point I was making above and below (in comments to Mile) is that there isn't always one single centre of a church or cathedral. Different areas of the church often have different centres, and some of them are not perfectly symmetrical in the first place. I'm not going to bring a laser range meter to a church. ;-) It's not necessary - I'm not a surveyor, I'm a photographer. The only reason you're even questioning whether I was perfectly centred is because FPC is so oriented towards pixel peeping. There are professional architectural photographers out there making a good income with photos that are not so perfectly aligned as this image IMO and people just accept the image as it is instead of asking for absolute perfection. In any case, as I said, I don't believe the problem you pointed out has anything to do with not being centred. The left side of the central triforium leans upwards while the right side is (virtually) straight. Whether this is because it actually increases in height or whether it is some other geometric issue, I cannot say, but I do know that the lines of this part of the building are not straight in reality. If it was a problem of not being centred, both the left and right sides of it would be leaning but they would be leaning at the same angle, not at different angles. Diliff (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comment Diliff. This is a great picture and I agree with you, it can't be fixed, try fix it could spoil your technique. Best way is take again. The possibility that there is an asymmetry in the Cathedral is possible, but unlikely.Please correct me if I'm wrong, This shot has a no possible opening for the human eye and therefore perhaps Jebulon commentary, however, the inclination generated by the possible lack of center or asymmetry creates a misperception of reality from my point of view. This image is perfect, the technique is perfect, however, I am trying to provide a comment for your images may be better. I am a faithful follower of you, however, this small detail could be corrected with another shot, break your technique for me is not an option.--The Photographer (talk) 10:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry no. Just because I know the place very well and I don't recognize this cathedral which is my favorite gothic one. This projection disagreement, as usual.--Jebulon (talk) 19:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those two "horizontals" at notes aren't as they suppose to be despite central position. But I would definitely put this version, which is much more interesting. Just crop the bottom up to the pillars. --Mile (talk) 20:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC) p.S. On the other hand, they might be such in real, I already experienced similar stuff.[reply]
    • The problem with the horizontals is also often because the central aisle of the church is not actually the true centre of the church. There are not always and visual hints that you are off-centre when you are there in the church and just a few centimetres here or there is enough to create this slight tilt on some horizontal lines. It's very difficult and not always solvable. Even if I did align myself with the centre of the church, it would mean that I would be closer to the left or right side of the aisle and then the aisle would look off-centre. These churches are old and asymmetrical and the photo can't always be symmetrical when this is the case. Diliff (talk) 21:25, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support per Wolf and Martin. --Tremonist (talk) 12:50, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Honestly I don't really care about whether it's perfectly symmetrical or not. The picture is great in quality and composition and has a high educational value. Additionally I find it very beautiful. Of course it's an interpretation of reality somehow - just like every other photograph in this world. What are we complaining about? Let's step back for a moment and reflect about our standards! We promoted lots of pictures in the last months which were not even close to the quality of this one. --Code (talk) 14:54, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info The only thing that can be done is to paint the offending areas by cloning. I'm not sure I will or should do that. @Mile: the differences between the windows are colour differences, not caused by variations in wb or exposition. Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:58, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Alvesgaspar: I am talking for differences in shadows. Vitgares are fine. You just cut each from your originals and put them in one photo, some white spacing between. I cant solve it from this one since you made some unlucky borders and rectangles...and this is FP worthy. --Mile (talk) 17:18, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interiror view of Ulm Minster
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors/Religious_buildings
  •  Info Interior view of Ulm Minster which happens to carry the highest church tower of the world. I took the photo with a single shot, using a 17 mm wide angle tilt shift lense. As the minster is pretty dark inside, I created a three image HDR image. Ulm Minster is a jewel of tourism in southern Germany, hence it was not possible to get this view without people. The long time exposue created some motion blur of the people, but in my opinion, it is not disturbing within the huge image but is giving an idea of the shere dimensions of the nave

I understand those limitations. I've banged my head against them too.

  •  Oppose Per Daniel Case, + too prominent shadow in foreground.--Jebulon (talk) 22:27, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    can you please point out what shadows are meant? Imho the morning light is quite fortunate here because it draws the attention to the buildings. Can you also point out how to make this photo better. There is a famous German saying: "Meckern kann jeder Bauer aber besser machen das fällt ihm sauer." - criticism is easy, making constructive proposals for improvement is not. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:38, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the place is all in shadow, I think that's meant. Besides, Daniel is right, there is a distortion that can't be ignored. How to do this any better I can't tell you, though, I'm sorry. --Tremonist (talk) 15:08, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I know from my own experience that Gendarmenmarkt is very difficult to photograph. I think the only way to take such a photo in an acceptable quality is to create a multirow panorama. There's not enough space to get everything on the picture without heavy distortion otherwise. The other thing is that there's few time each day when the light situation is acceptable at all. Has to do with all the surrounding buildings. In this case I think there's too much shadow. Additionally the people all around are quite disturbing here, I think. An exposure of around one second would have been better aesthetically, I think. The sky and the composition are very nice, however. --Code (talk) 17:33, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

@The Photographer:  Comment SVG maybe not be a standard and the W3C validator may not make sense, but the SVG cares because it can be resized at any size without reducing image quality. Maybe someone might say an oppose due to this image being small even though the image can be made larger without reducing image quality. :) Poké95 11:56, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure why you say SVG is not a standard (see [1]. W3C call them recommendation, but this is the same for HTML, CSS and all.). I haven't followed how it's evolved lately but I'm fairly certain it has good support on all major browsers, which allows for things like D3.js to work quite well. - Benh (talk) 12:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Cayambe: ✓ Done. I updated it. Ali Zifan 22:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment To be fair, I've found that most tools that do open SVG still don't understand and properly implement half the damn spec, like masks, filters, and CSS.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics that has support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999
Web browsers that support SVG will display the drawing by itself. While SVGs are very practical and helful, slow adoption of the spec in browsers requires cautious use. SVG was adopted by the W3C in 1999, but it wasn’t until 2004 that a browser added the spec. A full list of browser support for SVG can be found at caniuse.com. BTW, Since SVG 1.1 does not officially support a standard for multiline text, this document represents a "best-fit" standard. I know that this file is a AI export, however, I want to note that Inkscape svg is basically the same as plain svg, just with a few extra commands (in separate namespaces) added, which the Inkscape tools use to keep track of their work. The most common problems that I’ve seen with using SVG so far are that Internet Explorer tends to clip resized images rather than actually resizing them and that Webkit-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Safari will resize and stretch images in strange ways. --The Photographer (talk) 14:30, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When I wanted to see other shots in category, I saw its only one - so exclusive shot. To get underwater shots like this is more rare than usual.

    •  Comment I noticed that WP has few underwater FP candidates, and I hope it's not because we're throwing the baby out with the bath water. Critiques of underwater photography should not be on the same scale as land shots or photographs taken in controlled environments, or under optimum conditions. They certainly shouldn't be dismissed for lacking certain attributes one cannot possibly achieve under such an extreme environment. If you've never experienced underwater photography, please try to imagine the conditions. It's difficult enough to capture an elusive critter on land, but to capture one that's hiding inside a dark crevice on a reef structure at depths of 30 to 40 ft is far more difficult. In addition to dealing with currents, you're dealing with constant motion while trying to maintain neutral buoyancy, all the while trying to keep your subject in focus. It makes underwater photography a rather daunting task and highly dependent on post-processing. You have no tripod, varying visibility, limited natural lighting depending on depth, light refraction, and you cannot touch the coral or attempt to stabilize yourself on the ocean floor because it creates backscatter. Macro photography brings even greater challenges when both the photog and subject are constantly moving; depth of field, freezing action, dynamic ranging and proper lighting without back scatter is something everyone should attempt at least once. 😆 Add to that, the fact that you're working with a fixed amount of air in a bulky cylinder on your back, fins for feet, limited vision through a mask while trying to keep an eye on your subject and steady yourself in the current without landing on a scorpion fish or fire coral. It's a far cry different from shooting on land. There's also a risk factor in getting close enough to a live subject, which shouldn't be more than 2 to 3 ft away, or only inches if you're shooting macro. Underwater critters will either be frightened away by your exhaust bubbles, or become defensive and attack you. I just hope that while editors are judging underwater images they will at least consider the level of difficulty and place a bit more emphasis on composition and lighting, especially underwater macro shots. With regards to the merits of upscaling, I agree that it lacks merit on most levels, except when the image is unique enough to warrant a bit of quality loss for enlargement purposes, especially when a purchaser wants to use that image for the company's trade show display.

Pipe organ of the gotic church of San Pedro de los Francos, located in Calatayud, Aragon, Spain. The original temple was founded in the 12th century by order of Alfonso I, "The Battler" to offer the french people who helped him in the Battle of Cutanda (1120) against the Almoravids and stayed definitely in Calatayud a place to pray, but the current church was built 2 centuries later. The organ, which almudejar wooden base dates from end of the 15th century, was built in Calatayud and was supposedly work of Miguel de Monreal.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • After some thought,  weak support. This seems to fit the Commons FP criteria. However, I think this would be better suited to FP on English Wikipedia and perhaps other language Wikipedias, where the relatively plain aesthetics are less important that the good informative value that this photo has. --Pine 20:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, absolutely, that's not the issue. The issue is that the scene has a high contrast with many areas being dark due to being backlit, others being quite bright. As a result, most of the picture has to be at either end of the histogram, while only the central part of the histogram can really show strong colours (which mirrors our perception - very bright and dark areas can't really show a lot of colour). The pavement is not backlit, so that's the least problematic. All the colours are correct I assume. But they get lost in the picture, in my opinion. — Julian H. 11:22, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cepelinai in Vilnius
  • I very much like the focus here; but wonder why the file size is only 866 KB. Not a technical geek; so afraid to ask this stupid question (?) here. :) Jee 02:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jee, the file size is small mostly because there isn't a lot of detail in much of the image. The plate and background contains very little detail and the JPEG compression algorithm is able to store it efficiently. Many people make the mistake of confusing file size and resolution. As a general rule, lower compression (larger file size) results in a better quality image, but it isn't always as simple as that. It's usually possible to significantly compress an image without affecting the image quality as long as you know the limits and have a good understanding of what JPEG compression artifacts look like. For those who don't, the rule of thumb to use low compression/large file size is a simple but effective way of keeping maximum image quality but some people go a bit too far IMO and this results in huge file sizes with no visible improvement in image quality. Many of the huge files on Commons (50mb+) could be re-compressed to 10-15mb without any obvious difference in quality. The problem is that for archival purposes, the size is not much of a problem, but for practical purposes (ease of download), smaller is better. Anyway, enough said I think. Diliff (talk) 13:20, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks Diliff; now I understood. In my macros, where the background is unfocused, the file size is less than in an image where everything is in focus. File size is reduced a lot while denoising a macro background too. This may be first time I saw an image of you in such a small file size. Jee 13:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Nice presentation and color; at this range I understand about the focus. Daniel Case (talk) 06:57, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Mmm sorry Diliff but in this case per Colin, it's very nice for your own SNS (nice colors and good exposure) but not an FP for me. If you purposely used this shallow DOF, I want to know that purpose and cut off of the shadow in front is also a minus point (did you raise the front side of the plate?), imho. Regards. --Laitche (talk) 04:17, 5 November 2015 (UTC) P.S. I think if this photo were not your work, it would get at least 4 oppose votes before my vote... --Laitche (talk) 04:22, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I was mocking FPC, which seems to demand focus stacking for all still-life photography. Only on Commons FP would you find anyone suggesting that professional-class food photography (of dishes served on plates) must use focus stacking and have front-to-back sharpness of the whole subject. Having said that, the shallow DoF here is probably more due to the low light conditions forcing the camera settings, rather than artistic choice, though sometimes one feeds the other. -- Colin (talk) 08:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I assumed Colin's comment was sarcastic too, because I made it quite clear at the top that this is not a studio food shot. For the same reason, it's not possible to focus stack a moving insect in macro photography, but there is usually still someone in the peanut gallery who insists that focus stacking is necessary for his support vote. ;-) Likewise, I think it's silly to expect someone to set up a tripod and studio lighting in a public restaurant - this is not paid professional food photography. There are two reasons for the shallow DoF: One, I had no choice because it was a dark restaurant, and two, because it's normal for food photography. I'm not saying it should be done simply because others do it, but it is a common aesthetic in food photography. As for the other criticisms, they are fair and legitimate, but I can only mention again that there were practical restrictions to the photography that were dictated by the fact that I was in a public restaurant. ;-) Diliff (talk) 08:27, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --King of 04:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think the other photo with one dumpling cut open is superior as it properly illustrates the dish. But the presentation is very plain ("boring centred photograph" some would say). I think if we aspire to FP having professional-level food photography (and it should, and doesn't) then the subject needs to be presented as one might see in a recipe book or food magazine -- part of a well-dressed table, carefully lit and composed. Oh, and there's nothing wrong with cropping the plate (someone suggested in another FPC that this was a no no) though it needs to be done deliberately rather than accidentally. This is just QI imo, and I agree with Laitche's comment that if some newbie had nominated this it would have not survived a day (which isn't to say it is terrible, but that everyone is being over-generous in holding back). -- Colin (talk) 08:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I certainly agree with you that this isn't world class food photography, but compare it to existing food FPs, particularly non-studio style shots, and I think you would find it's comparable, as that's what I did before nominating. There are some FPs with better settings (a set table, more pleasant background etc), but the vast majority have a simple table, or white background. I suppose we have to find a balance between comparing candidates to their FP peers, and aiming for a minimum benchmark standard though. Diliff (talk) 08:33, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree the current standard of food photography on Commons is poor yet there is no good reason for this. It isn't like there are huge technological challenges or expensive equipment required. I'm not sure the "Picture taken of food I'm about to eat in a restaurant" photo genre, which is apparently extremely popular on social media, is ever likely to generate an FP. Same goes for tourist photos in the middle of the day in summer, or difficult snaps of celebrities at events. It is difficult to do that well, compared to a planned photo, but that isn't really an excuse I feel that should mean we are happy to accept the result as "among our finest images". I would love it if someone raised the game on food photography, as you have done for cathedral interiors, say, and that's why I don't think we should lower the bar merely because everything to date has been disappointing. -- Colin (talk) 10:37, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • I do totally agree with you, except that I disagree that there's no good reason for it - I think there's an additional barrier to quality food photography: for many dishes, the Photographer has to also be a decent cook, or know someone who's willing to cook some nice looking dishes just for the photo (ok, and to eat it afterwards which I suppose could be an incentive to make friends with budding chefs!). I think the lack of an intersection between the two genres is the main reason why the quality of food photography is not at the standard of cathedrals. With grand buildings, all we have to do as photographers is turn up with the appropriate skills and equipment, we don't have to build it beforehand. :-) Diliff (talk) 18:58, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • I'm not sure the lack of access to decent food is that big a problem: cooking elaborate dishes to entertain friends is quite popular :-). Not everyone has the talent personally, but then not everyone lives near a great metropolis or in a natural biodiversity hotspot. And it doesn't have to be cooked food: even a simple cold lunch, picnic or salad could be presented well. I reckon we just haven't had anyone turn up here to inspire and/or offer advice, and Wikipedia isn't exactly a recipe website, so the focus there would be on notable dishes. -- Colin (talk) 08:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Food photo is what we lack here. They often say dish should be shot from above, I don't agree always, here is ok as is. But background is invasive, color of table is too strong, food could be in focus all - stacking, shadow of dish isn't lucky neither, crop could be same distance dish-edge at least on top and on sides. --Mile (talk) 08:09, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Now I convinced. I love the focus where I start to bite. Jee 13:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination. Close, but no cigar. 2 supports short, and a few too many opposes to pass. Back to the drawing board. I don't usually have the opportunity to shoot asethetically pleasing food but if I do, I'll give it another try. Diliff (talk) 11:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Dispute collapsed
  • Interesting! After Ralf opposed your family picture - for good and obvious reasons - , you are opposing him here now. Don't you think that makes you completely untrustworthy for any review, not only here? --Hubertl 13:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • normally I understand the opposing opinions here as constructive criticism and feel they usually also be substantial. In this case, I do not understand it but that's not important. --Ralf Roleček 21:59, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And yet another unnecessary personal attack by Hubertl. From my long-term experience, Daniel Case is a very trustworthy reviewer on Commons. Btw, a reviewer can make himself untrustworthy not only with "revenge opposes", but also with "friendship supports"... --A.Savin 01:11, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When I will talk to you, A. Savin, I will do it explicitely. Everything else I do is not your business. --Hubertl 01:50, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it was clear that your answer would not be particularly intelligent. --A.Savin 02:10, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As Livioandronico2013: --Ralf Roleček 07:50, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry again for the intrusion ,but A.Savin in your opinion, this is a way to stretch the minds? In my opinion (I say this as a friend, I hope that does not offend you) you're too aggressive. If Hubertl was wrong in your opinion it was enough to say that Daniel Case was in good faith, in an indirect manner and not to attack. Honestly I would expect from an administrator a way of doing more fatherly and I repeat I'm not saying that you're inadequate or another, you should just go softer.I repeat, I am convinced that Daniel is in good faith it is a dear person sincere and forthright as I like. Then each one can have his opinion the world is free. Sorry for the intrusion and if I offended anyone.Peace. LivioAndronico (talk) 09:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Accusing s/o of revenge votes is a personal insult, and it is not the first one by H. within a couple of days. It is my right to point that out. FPC needs mature participants, not someone who takes everything personally. It is true, however, that this page is a wrong place for such discussions. Should I see similar or inflaming comments by H. in near future, I would transfer the whole issue to COM:ANU. --A.Savin 11:12, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Illuminated Tennōji Park and Abeno Harukas (the tallest building in Japan).
@Martin Falbisoner: This photo was taken at 18:39, so about 1 hour after sunset, it means very early at night but November 3rd is a national holiday of Japan (Culture Day) then most of the offices (in the tallest building in Japan) were closing... --Laitche (talk) 11:49, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. And there were so many people in the park due to this lighting up festa on the national holiday so I was waiting about 20 minutes until they have left from there. --Laitche (talk) 12:28, 4 November 2015 (UTC) Or you prefer with ghosts?

Unbalanced composition ? --The Photographer (talk) 12:09, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Love the pic, but I see his point. While the lines on the ground are level with the "horizon" the escalator is not. Moreover, that massive pillar on the right does give the impression the composition is weighted to the right as well. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:58, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, in this instance, I think you should just choose which you'd rather featured. There are merits to both versions and the differences are not sufficient to derail this great image. Saffron Blaze (talk) 01:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@El Grafo: Grolier Academic Encyclopedia version ? --The Photographer (talk) 11:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's a derivative work all right, but a derivative work of a GFDL-CC-BY-SA 3.0 work is a CC-BY-SA 3.0 work that we can host here ... that's the whole point of the free license. The format change does not in any way affect the copyright. Daniel Case (talk) 04:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Daniel Case. It is my point too; so this need to be credited to en:User:WikipedianProlific unless I miss something. ( I don't want to enter in disputes; but wish every FP need to be properly licensed and credited before appearing in next year's POTY. ) Jee 05:14, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is "silly" to make a DR when attribution can be "fixed". BTW, I remember you protested vigorously when someone (Alchemist-hp if I remember well) made a derivative of your PD work without attributing to you, earlier. :) Jee 03:06, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And where are the @Rodrigo.Argenton: and @Colin: comment?. Wait moment, oh yes! --The Photographer (talk) 22:33, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Since I was pinged... I agree with Jee: it is vital per the terms of the CC licence that derivative works mention the previous authors along with details of changes made. I suggest using the "Credit line" template as the best way to ensure attribution is correct. This is not "own work". These sorts of things are basic and should be checked prior to nomination if you want a smooth candidate. Only one to blame is yourself, and it is not "stupid" to show some respect for those whose work you are building upon. As for the image, I don't much like the luminous green lines (prefer the original dark red) nor the huge capital initial letters. Otherwise I'm fairly "meh" on this. -- Colin (talk) 23:18, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

??? Do you love me that much? Did you miss me or something? As you need my approval to live, I'll do that soon as possible; x0x0. -- RTA 23:22, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  tending to strong opposition, showing love:
Some areas are nothing close to the real skeleton (check it and I highlighted the main issues), and this should be a educational tool, so you must be accurate and precise. This one, for example, is more useful, and reliable.
I don't know why you choose the EN version to be a feature picture, should be a numeral version the featured, for WP-en, yeah, English, here...
This green arrows are not a intelligent choice, the normal use of this image it will be in white background, and with white, this green don't pass in any contrast of contrast check, even in the bone not passed. The SSE is not a acronym that us for this, so I didn't understand the boldness on this first letters.
The ears are in a strange perspective, best one and the image pointed at the begging.
So, when you decided to just vectorizing a job, and told us that was your work, you should, at least, fixed the problems in the original.
Obs:I had to fix the copyright violations, the original one was a CC-by-SA, that means that derivation of the original should be naming the author and use same license, only restrictions actually, nothing was followed, different from CC0 that we don't have any obligation to name the author or use same license, so you should study more about licenses. -- RTA 21:41, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sculpture of Madonna with child and St John (Kunsthistoriches Museum)
@Hubertl Giving good reason - my hope I am wrong. --Mile (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my opinion, the limit of editing is cloning the background. If they made the background or subject (except fixing the errors or flaws) by digital way, that should be categorized to Non-photographic media/Computer-generated. I would reconsider if the category change to Non-photographic media/Computer-generated, but I'm not sure that I would support or not, Regards. --Laitche (talk) 18:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Background is serving main subject - sculpture. If museum would have chance and option, it would be something like this. But background isn't original part of sculpture. So why their room would be original and my presentation not ? To put it into Non-photographic media/Computer-generated is a no go. 3D subject, not changed with retouching (sculpture is not affected by retouching). As rules are saying:
Digital manipulations: For photographs...More extensive manipulations, such as removal of distracting background elements, should be clearly described in the image text, by means of the Retouched picture template. Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable.

So, Retouche template is there from the beginning. Main subject in untouched and in original shape. To put this into category Non-photographic media/Computer-generated beside existing Objects#Sculptures is not an option. Especially when we already have more sculptures there with generated background. --Mile (talk) 19:07, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. If the consensus is OK as a exceptional about the digital ray for sculpture, of course I accept that consensus but I think we would never accept like that digital effect for the scenery and else subject. --Laitche (talk) 19:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On the winter, because of pollution, and other shits, this colour is not rare too see, but it's a little bit less: similar to this (crazy google photos link, I did not uploaded here, because the amount of noisy/artefacts created raising the shadow, especially in JPEG file), however, in this case, the main problem is not the colour, that is not that much far from real (the alt is even further away from reality) check another image, the main issue is that the colour lead us to the boring sky, and it's so dark at the bottom that we lost this village, the city at the left, creating a illusion of uninhabited site.
And I really do not like "over-processed" images as 110% of "winners" in WLE "BR": as this (o.O), but some fine editions, creating a artistic look, could be very interesting, and should be more accepted; here you demonise even fine art, that do not even derail from the educational purpose... Another day I had to hear that B&W should not be FP, because the world is colour-full... We need to stop enter in the Colin's vibe, and not raise to many barriers, to not died in your own poop, that do not mean low the level, but be aware that we have to evaluate by the photo, not by a general rule. -- RTA 06:05, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Front view of the city Hall of A Coruña, also called Municipal Palace, during the blue hour, Galicia, Spain. The modernist building is located in the María Pita Square in the center of the city and was built between 1908 and 1912 following a design of Pedro Ramiro Mariño. It was inaugurated in 1927 by the king Alfonso XIII. The facade is 64 metres (210 ft) width and has 43 windows, whereas the surface of the building is 2,300 m2 (24,757.0 sq ft). The 4 statues in the third floor represent the 4 provinces of Galicia (A Coruña, Lugo, Orense and Pontevedra) and over them, in the middle, is the coat of arms of the city. The 2 dames flanking it symbolize Peace and Industry and Work and Wisdom. In the tower in the middle is the clock and the bells, they are made of bronce and tin and weigh 1,600 kilograms (3,527 lb).

* Oppose I put you notes of problematic light halos. Crop is too tight, could get sideways but why on top ? Colors are oversaturated and its a bit overexposed. I don't see any benefit of night HDR, maybe alternative from single shot.

  •  Support I did it on purpose! Scientific photography is a constraining discipline. For publication of pictures you can not do anything forbidden to remove even a speck of dust. It's a pretty frustrating discipline. So occasionally I allow myself a personal touch, which brings nothing that remains discreet: it is my craziness. But at least I'm sure I'm not a robot. Thank you to all and especially to Christian for his tireless work. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:14, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking too it is a voluntary gradient color, but in the center there is a small circle where the color changes suddenly becomes clearer and this small circle is visible.

* Oppose Also think some bottom part which is out of focus should be cropped. Composition feels unbalanced, I would use zoom in this one in portrait mode. The alternative has bottom in focus, but needs much higher EV. Idea is trees cover sideways so no bushes beyond, that's the case in long end zoom. --Mile (talk) 07:33, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative version[edit]

  •  Info-- I like your images Dietmar but I think also they're worth a little more work in post-prod, so let's pop-up these fall colors, trying to maintain that mystery mist, ok? Here's an alternative mine, balancing the colors again a bit out of the blue as well as several other enhancements in colors, levels, etc. Like Jebulon and Mile suggested above, I think too that the area of the road is too big, which points the eye to the bright area at the end of it. Cropping a bit of it focuses better the attention to the canopy. Sting (talk) 17:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment-- For what's about your alternative bellow, I think that you understand that you lost the interest of the mist in the trees. But most importantly, if you allow me: forget about that zoom, at least at 15mm, and if you can change it for a better one. It's optical quality at full size is terrible imo. ;-) Sting (talk) 17:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment @Sting: Thanks for nomination this image. Please allow me a comment. Nominating a third image is more than confusing. Your derivate has an JPEG as origin, not the original image (RAW). IMO it's better to develop images from RAW. And yes, your image is more colorful. Whether it is balanced, is surely subjectively. I like the colors you've choosen. In order to be regarded as an alternative, in my opinion, all the processing steps from me would have to be carried out. I nominated my image as FP. If the result is, it isn't, so it is not FP. The derived image I do not consider as my picture. My image was just the basis. If I improve my image developed from RAW both images are very similar.
    Your other comment: IMO the lens isn't terrible. But the lens is currently in service. It must be adjusted. May there are better lenses but they are third party lenses (I did not prefer third party lenses) or Canon EF lenses - and much more expensive. Currently I don't extend my equipment. May be in the future - may be full frame.
    Thanks again for your assistance. I can learn from everyone's help. --XRay talk 07:05, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course it's based on the jpeg (but worked on it at 16 bits), that's why it wasn't meant (for me) to be another nomination but more to show an alternative treatment.
Don't worry, I know well that very few of us can afford the replacement of a lens. I too still own one of those, even if it's tagged as an “L” one. I just avoid use it for critical work. Sting (talk)]
Thanks for the alternative treatment. But - sorry - it's not my nomination. Others will review this one. So IMO it should be nominated if the nomination period of original will be finished and the original image does not become FP. --XRay talk 16:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per A.Savin and... When a façade of a building isn’t parallel to the plane of a photo, you expect to see more than one wall of a building, for such photos are similar to looking at a corner of a building, when you, as a rule, can see two walls of the building. Else a photo can look unnatural, like here: the Winter Palace doesn’t look like a three-dimensional building, but like a plane panel, a theatre set.

Salineras (salt evaporation ponds) in Maras, Peru. The salt is obtained in Maras since the Inca Empire times and the site is currently composed of around 3.000 ponds of 5 square metres (54 sq ft) each. As the location is surrounded by salty mountains, subterrean water deposits the salty wather in the ponds and the water evaporates due to the exposure to the sun. After aprox. 1 month the level of salt reaches 10 centimetres (3.9 in) and is removed in sacks.

  •  Info I reduced noise in Photoshop. Sky colors keep the same (it is Airglow). I am living in NYC with big light pollution. From home use technology to cleaning up light pollution, but such post processing not working for real dark sky – it is also clean up real colors of airglow. For airglow sky noise reduction a little bit different. Sorry, I hope it is better now. Thanks! Astroval1 (talk) 8:00, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
