Comment I haven't had the time to really watch it yet, but quality-wise that's still a couple of steps away from really being "professional", imho. Maximum available resolution on Youtube is 720p – not even Full HD. Especially the map that is used every once in a while is pretty much unreadable (and its source is uncredited). English subtitles are part of the video itself, which makes it difficult to add subtitles in other languages. The background music appears to be a bit repetitive. There may or may not be mitigating amounts of WOW in the content, though, so I'll Abstain as long as I haven't watched the whole thing. --El Grafo (talk) 09:17, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Each of the series has its downsides. I was thinking about nominating one of these and if I had done it, I would have chosen this one. Ikan's proposal isn't bad, I like the sea of sunflowers across the landscape but that's it, they are looking the wrong direction. BTW, if you see sunflowers, take the image right at that moment, a few days later all their beauty might have gone. I've been to that place this week again and there's no nice motif left. --Basotxerri (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose OK ... I'm sorry if this sounds insulting, but the quality here is nowhere near FP level. The noise, the lack of sharpness, it's not even QI material, this. I'm tempted to FPX it, to be brutally honest. That said, I do quite like the idea of having some depictions of everyday life in FPC, so if you can get some better quality images of scenes like this, I would certainly consider supporting those.--Peulle (talk) 13:10, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About noise/grain in photos (sometimes Cart talks too much...)

No insult taken, I know you look mainly at technical quality. The noise is not even as bad as in some other FPCs or even FPs. It's the price you pay for taking photos indoors of moving people without flash or studio lights. I suggest you try doing some such photos yourself (even if you don't publish them here), that way you can see what level of noise is possible. It is something very different from outdoor photos where the light is good or indoor photos of static objects. That is why people downsize such photos. Thank you for your kind words about the subject though, I thought that would be the main problem with this. --Cart (talk) 14:04, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't think photos with this level of noise should be FPs, I'm afraid. If I shoot images like this, I don't even upload them unless the topic is extremely rare or special. Like "famous person falling in the pool" kind of special. That could give me enough wow to overlook the quality issues. Incidentally, I notice that the noise was the main topic of debate in that FP you linked to. I guess it comes down to whether the voters think the level of wow factor is high enough to compensate. On a side note: why not just use a flash? I think I will.--Peulle (talk) 15:03, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking just like you (noise=no FP) until I started to try it myself. It was Granada's sports photos and all the critique she had to put up with that got me doing it. I was naïve and thought "How hard can it be?" Well, I found out just how hard it was. Now, I look at under what conditions a photo was taken before I judge the noise. If we want every FP to be razor-sharp regardless of the shooting conditions, we miss a lot of situations where real life is happening and FP becomes a collection of very static images. Image quality is always relative. As to why no flash: I've experimented a lot with that too. A flash can be good but many times it is a sure way of ruining a good composition. Had I used a flash here, it would not have been strong enough to cover the whole length of the room. Since low light means you have to use a low f-setting and therefore end up with a shallow DoF, it does help if you take the photo from a distance and thereby increase the DoF. In this situation, it would mean that the only lit part would be the butt of the woman closest to the camera. The other persons would end up in semi-darkness. Here part of the compo is the repetition of the couples, the younger couple (unknowingly) mimics the older, giving us a hint that in 30 years that could be them. So it is important to have the scene evenly lit. Another thing that can improve your chances of a good shot in situations like this, is that you put your camera on "rapid fire". A subject may blink in one photo but have his/her eyes open in the next. This is part of such a series. This is impossible to do with a normal flash since it has to re-charge between photos. Even if these little hints doesn't make you more sympathetic to this photo, please keep them in mind for the next indoors nom that pops up. That way we get a wider selection of more interesting photos. --Cart (talk) 15:44, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, please also take size into consideration. The seal photo that is proclaimed to be so sharp by everyone, is taken with ISO 800, so much grainier that this with ISO 500, but it is downsized to 3000x2000px to get it sharp and noise-free, this photo is not. Maybe I too should start downsizing my photos since no one seems to mind that anymore? --Cart (talk) 15:58, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cart: The exposure time is 0.2sec so I think that is kind of motion blur or something. What do you think of that? --Laitche (talk) 10:41, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Laitche: Sounds likely. Even if snails move slowly, they do move and the eyes can be very fast. I didn't want to go higher on the ISO since the snail was so small and the grain would have been too much. The main thing that fascinated me was that the surface tension of the water made it cling to the body since the snail was so small. It moved with its own little 'swimming pool'. That and the eyes looking at you made this stand out from other snail photos so I thought I might give it a try here. At full photo size it is huge compared to the actual size of the snail. I could downsize it to say 3000px like the seal below, that would make it sharp enough, but I choose not to. -Cart (talk) 10:59, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I actually prefer one of the other images in the series; this one is b/w which simulates being in old times, but also shows the modern windmill, which works as an anachronism for me.

Info Norsteam's crew scrambling to change sides and avoid capsizing as they execute a quick turn in Match Cup Norway 2018.

I don't nominate my own images for FP very often; this is simply because I haven't considered them to have enough of a "wow factor" and I really think FP should be about the very best images we have. This, I firmly believe, is one of those. We don't have many images of sailing sports in the FP sections, so I think it's time to add one. I also considered nominating a different image, but preferred this one since you can see the crew better.

If you're wondering if the crew did manage to avoid capsizing, here's the whole series: 1, 2, 3, 4. :)

~~Oppose~~ Neutral I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that the rocks in the background make it hard to see what is going on unless one magnifies that part of the image. I know you wanted the whole of the sail in the picture, but the result is the people are tiny. If the background was simpler and the crop focussed on the action.... The moment is good. Please export your JPGs as sRGB for internet use. -- Colin (talk) 13:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done I tried to convert to sRGB per request of Martin Falbisoner and Colin; I've never really done that before, I just used the standard settings in PhotoShop on my Mac. Hopefully, I got it right. As for the rocks in the background, they cannot be helped; the whole point of this racing tour is to have the boats race in extremely close proximity to towns and land. You can find more information about the location here if you're interested.--Peulle (talk) 16:18, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The cliffs are noted, but knowing how hard it is to anticipate an event such as this, capture it sharp in good light from the right angle, for me this falls under the photos described in the FPC rules as "A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph." And yes, in sailboat photos people are tiny if visible at all, there is no way around that. Compared to other FPs of sailboats, the folks in this photo are actually quite big. --Cart (talk) 16:07, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at this like a picture editor on a web news site wanting a picture captioned "Norsteam's crew scrambling to change sides and avoid capsizing as they execute a quick turn in Match Cup Norway 2018." The actual action occurs in a tiny portion of the frame and isn't really visible in the thumb (which I get as a very detailed 600x874px on my high DPI monitor). I guess if printed as a large poster it might still work. I still think the best sports action shots are close-up crops. Btw, the image still appears to be Adobe RGB and please don't "convert" the JPG. The point is that when you process the raw file, you export the JPG (or TIFF, PNG, etc) as sRGB. So there will be an option in your Photoshop settings/preferences. Perhaps also the default is taken from your camera setting for JPGs, which doesn't directly affect the raw file but might be noted as a tag somewhere. AdobeRGB is fine if you are a pro working for a printed magazine, but on the internet it means an awful lot of viewers will see the wrong colours. -- Colin (talk) 20:44, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I see your point about where to focus our attention - on the crew or the whole scene. It's a matter of taste, I guess, and I could have zoomed in, but I prefer it this way since we can now see the whole boat almost capsizing, whereas a closer zoom (while getting a better view of the crew's activity) would not show what's happening to the boat. And thanks for the format info; I'm still a complete n00b when it comes to such things. I will see what I can do about it when I have more time.--Peulle (talk) 07:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to have been used in a race ... many such cars actually take a lot more damage than is evident from TV coverage. Daniel Case (talk) 04:37, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this exact car raced and won Paris-Dakar in 1986. After that it wasn't restored but rather preserved to commemorate the hardship it went through. --MB-one (talk) 14:36, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the winning car in every year's Daytona 500 is taken by the speedway and exhibited inside the speedway's main entrance until the morning of the next year's race (which can put a little stress on less well-funded teams that win, since even with the purse they can't just go out and buy a replacement the next day).

Comment Let´s not edit somebody else´s posts basile. If there is a typo let the original poster correct it. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree Tomascastelazo found intelligent to call me "moron" (stupid). Obviously a personal attack, though I chose to ignore it and just removed the insult. Then, this user reverted my correction and called me once again "Basil Moron" with the same error in my first name (not struck out), proving the malicious intention to disrupt. The insidious harassment was deleted once again, per the official guidelines : "Some examples of appropriately editing others' comments: Removing harmful posts". We can make jokes here, and have fun sometimes, but no personal attacks -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:33, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Basile, I really find your comment, and no pun intended, moronic. You are offended by a typographical error, labeling it as a personal attack, while you forget that you not only insulted my behavior and attacked me personally recently, as can be seen here #REDIRECT [[1]], and I quote you directly "and in the context the level of blurriness suggests a drunk operator -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:38, 18 August 2018 (UTC)." I struck my typographical error according to custom and format, yet you vandalized it again. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 20:24, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree False accusation of vandalism. Don't call the kettle back. Here a deliberately attack, and once more insisting with "I really find your comment moronic". Just inadmissible. I have not attacked anyone here. Comparing the activity of two people, one planting rice and one sitting eating ice cream is not personal attack, and cannot justify the fact to call someone moron. Please calm down now, and ignore unpleasant comments as I did. Check the history -- Basile Morin (talk) 21:40, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
+1 ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 02:31, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question Did you or did you not call me a drunk operator? It is there for all to see! Did you forget your insult? And why would a proper english term be inadmissible? I am expressing my opinion. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Problem solved The insult has been deleted accordingly to Wikimedia policies. Albert Einstein is not "Alert Weinstein" and Max Planck not "Maxi Prank" - pun intended -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:36, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What insult are you talking about? Or do you mean the typographical error? You know, the "i" and the "o" are next to each other, so it is easy to misspell moron and spell it miron or something like that. On the other hand, I though that you had deleted your moronic insult of me being a drunk operator, but I guess you still don´t want to acknowledge that. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 01:17, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not one, but three errors :

1) An alleged typographical error (sounding like an insult) ;

2) A clever and productive correction obtusely reverted, showing like a sly desire to disrupt with intentional misspelling ;

3) Probably the less intelligent of all : Striking out only one of both misspelled names to reiterate the same error after warning

, as if the operator really had problems of understanding.

Now the alleged reason to justify this revenge is not only out of topic here, but also wrong in its context.

No worry, we can try to be civil, to forgive the editors, and that's my intention personally. But remembering my first name contains 6 letters is very easy : Anagram of Basile :

Info If rocks contain iron, it is normally Fe³⁺, which is red and gives the red or brown colour to the rocks.

- - Comment No, I don´t think all photographs should be taken 15 minutes before sunset. The light is too harsh in this one, flat, and not visually appealing. Some places can be photographed fine under this condition, but not this one. A directional, softer light would bring out rich textures,colors and tones, and wet it would probably look great.

Question Could someone please explain to me how this is an outstanding photo? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:46, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Featured pictures : "Featured pictures are images (...) that the Wikimedia Commons community has chosen as some of the highest quality on the site." or from Commons:Featured picture candidates "Featured picture candidates are images that the community will vote on, to determine whether or not they will be highlighted as some of the finest on Commons." I guess they (we) think that is indeed among the highest quality on that site or that is indeed among the finest on Commons. To be "outstanding" is not written anywhere. It is just a reason to oppose if you think that it is an indispensable condition for that an image can be considered among "the highest quality", or among "the finest on Commons". Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 11:05, 29 August 2018 (UTC) Though the composition is not extraordinary, it is not so usual to have an image of a trawler with this point of view (the entire boat), with such good light and quality.

Oppose Colour white is too strong, people are disturbing the composition and not sharp enough --Michielverbeek (talk) 20:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for the constructive criticism. I've been a lurker here for years (mainly collecting awesome free photos for desktop wallpapers), then I decided I would try my hand at uploading one of my own best photos and see what happens. I hadn't realized the perspective was so warped at the edges; I uploaded another version below that fixes that (as best as I can). I understand the criticism about the people being distracting--it's hard to take a photo at a tourist attraction without getting other tourists in the shot (I remember being very frustrated that day waiting for a break in tourists without getting one). However, concerning white levels: it is a white building in direct sunlight, yet you can still make out the edges of the white bricks even in the brightest part of the lighthouse and the building at the base. It seems like the right balance to me where it is not blown out yet still captures the feeling of looking at the building in warm summer sun. If I decrease the whites any more it looks very dull to me. Kiprobinson (talk) 01:30, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Not quite great to me. For example, it's not that people ruin a shot, it's that where they are placed within the shot and what they're doing is part of the composition, and in this case, it hurts the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:45, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It is a nice bold image with strong subject and clear background. The leftmost tree is a bit unfortunately cut, and I would arrange it between the trees. There is a 0.35° tilt - you can see it if you draw a light down the middle of the lighthouse. I'm not sure what "perspective correction" you applied, but if vertical then I don't think it should be done or is necessary. Vertical perspective correction can correct for slightly tilting the camera up but only if you are quite some distance from the subject (much further than it is tall). Here it is quite obvious that you are relatively close and are looking up at the top light from below, so correction would just produce weird results -- we just have to accept that and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For tall buildings, try to get as far back as you can. For people, yes it is annoying, but what separates great from a tourist snap we all take. You can try going early, late, at lunchtime. Or stick your camera on a tripod and take several photos and then merge them in Photoshop to eliminate the people. There's something quite satisfying about painting-out an annoying tourist with the brush :-). I agree with you about white brick in sun -- I'd expect small parts of that to be pure white and only minimal brick detail there. Reducing the highlights to be paper-grey is a mistake. A black and white subject in sun is just going to be challenging. -- Colin (talk) 08:20, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't see this one succeeding as a result of the comments above, but I just wanted to add that despite the problems indicated, I really like the idea behind this shot. A nice lighthouse like this one with a nice sky in the background is definitely a suitable motíf for an FP nomination, so if you have the opportunity to re-shoot this one, I think you should.--Peulle (talk) 11:36, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info Detail view of mud out of the Berca Mud Volcanoes, a geological and botanical reservation located close to Berca in Buzău County, Romania. The phenomenon is caused due to gases that erupt from 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles.

Comment At first glance (without requesting perfection), the main problem I see here is the tilt of the tiles too visible in the foreground for such a symmetric image -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:18, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed I made a new adjustment of the lines. It is really difficult, because it's only a impression. The vertical and horizontal lines are not parallel. So if a line is adjusted, another isn't OK. But you're right, I tried to adjust the main lines now. And the crop is better now too. --XRay ^talk 10:19, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Horizontal lines improved, vertical lines worsened :-( -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:37, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Harsh contrasts.The picture was shot in backlight : the shadows are oriented towards us. All the volumes, gradients, shades and textures are off. Thus this is more a dark composition of various silhouettes, which are not particularly interesting (cut shadows at the bottom, lack of details for the building, ordinary tree with heavy background). Then not artistic nor special enough in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:28, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you included a daytime shot of a bird among the unsuccessful night nominations or why you chose blood moon photos as they can hardly be photographed in bright light.

Support - I know photos of aurorae can be controversial at FPC, but the immensity of the aurora in the sky and its reflection in the water below are really special to me. I also think the quality and amount of noise are quite good, considering the situation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:36, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:52, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Please allow me to direct your collective attention to this image, of which this nomination is a slightly modified copy. Said image is already an FP and was a finalist in PotY 2017. As the images are almost identical, I humbly suggest that this nomination is withdrawn.--Peulle (talk) 09:07, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Just for the record: they are indeed very similar, but this is quite obviously not a copy derived from the same base image. Look at the land on the right, that's clearly two different pictures, either taken from different positions or with different water levels. --El Grafo (talk) 11:45, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but if this is promoted, it says that we can nominate several images that are very similar and expect them to be promoted. Instead of choosing the single best one out of a series, a photographer could shoot a whole series of images and nominate them all. It would undermine what FPC is all about; choosing the single best image between many candidates.--Peulle (talk) 14:57, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think they're significantly different and that that's evident from comparing them by clicking back and forth between them. I'll wait a little longer, and if it becomes obvious that there's nevertheless a consensus for your view, I will withdraw, but I don't agree with you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That we disagree on an issue is of course fine; I stand by my point, though, and I feel that if yours prevailed, I should be able to nominate all four images in my M32 series since they're slightly different, and I just don't believe that is the intention behind FPC.--Peulle (talk) 21:34, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral after correction. Yes, this dark corner was very intrusive. So please, Poco, understand why I opposed here your picture, instead of contesting the issue you've just fixed. We certainly see things differently. You find this image awesome, while I just consider it very ordinary, with honesty and good faith. We have tons of similar pictures of religious buildings here (mainly christian, not much other religions represented) and this one is just one more. Due to the distorted perspective, this church looks giant inside, while the reality is probably very different. I personally prefer non-deformed perspective because it gives a better idea of how the interior is in truth. The color is yellowish, so not very aesthetic. In these conditions, an intrusive object spoiling the left corner to completely break the symmetry was just too much. This is only my subjective opinion, and your photo also gets 5 supports. Now I'm neutral because the correction was made successfully -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:33, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: The criterion of good photo is not one, I think you have a fixed idea too much --Laitche (talk) 08:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you insist on my being more specific, the problem I have with this photo is that it's not that interesting for me to move my eyes around it, and then there isn't anything spectacular purely on the image level that would cause me to vote for a feature even though the form, in the terms in which I understand and experience form as something active involving my eyes moving around the picture frame, is not that interesting. If that's not specific enough for you, I could always choose to fall back on the very unspecific "no wow", which we are permitted to use as a reason for opposing. And if you find my taste uncongenial to you, just accept that it's different from yours, OK? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Peulle, and technical quality is not the best (see e.g. the door in the background) --Uoaei1 (talk) 08:37, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Concerning the technical quality, the background is soft due to the low depth of field, which was absolutely necessary in these difficult lighting conditions with moving subjects. Not a landscape picture nor a ceiling you can shoot with a tripod. I completely respect different feelings, but I also think the technical quality couldn't be better inside this temple. It's an action shot, then not focus stacked, and of course not everything is crispy sharp. Otherwise you'd have the subjects blurred or an excessive noise. Just different kind of photography I may withdraw if it's not appreciated enough. But I nominated it as I think it's original (different from what we usually see here), and special (as these people in this situation are not ordinary in my view) -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:33, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too much justification... and nowadays these are not difficult lighting conditions. As you said before, "technically the lens is not adapted," "Canon sells fixed focal lenses specially designed for this kind of photography, like the 50mm f/1.4 for example", providing much better results with less noise and more sharpness in the same lighting conditions. A fixed focal lens with wider aperture would have helped... DOF is not an issue anyway. What I don´t like is the contrast in materials, the shiny surface takes too much space and clashes with the colorful scene around... It is hard to say if the men are setting up shop (or a taco stand) or cleaning up. and in the context the level of lack of clarity as far as the activity suggests an inexperienced operator. I would crop out some of the left and bottom... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:20, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Old encode. New encode.

Info There are some reasons to replace. (Original nomination)
1. New encode is in VP9 which brings better quality to video. Above that, the bitrate is now closer to the original file, to avoid over-compression.
2. New encode uses Opus as audio codec, which should improve compression and quality.
3. The old encode has its color matrix incorrectly set, which result in the rendered colors being incorrect. This is fixed in the new file.
4. You can see a simple comparison here.
Delist and replace -- FakeShemp (talk) 16:10, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I can't discern any material difference from the framecompare.com comparison link. If it's a better encode, feel free to just drop it over the existing file. I used whatever tool was available at the time. czar 10:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately I can not simply drop it over the old encode because it's over 100MB, the max size updates can have. Therefore a new upload. FakeShemp (talk) 18:00, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delist and replace Daniel Case (talk) 17:52, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moot The re-encode has been uploaded over the original version so there is no need to delist/replace. (FakeShemp had hit file size limits upon trying to do this on their own.) If the re-encode had any aesthetic benefits, they are imperceptible to my eye, so I see no issue in writing over my original upload. czar 22:53, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The bright orange requires each element works. Here there is a monk cut behind a small out-building. The monks weeding the pavement is just a really awful subject. Everyone with their back to us. There's a big hole in the middle of the composition, with orange at the outer sides. -- Colin (talk) 21:57, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is a "monk cut behind a small out-building", not really visible. Then, weeding the pavement to keep this place clean and attractive is less "awful" than honorable in my view, as these monks take care of their elegant temple. It also gives a realistic insight of their daily occupations, productive and respectable -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:02, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is a second attempt at nominating this photo. The previous attempt was made in 2009, before the Space Shuttle program ended. I believe that the photo now has historic value and it seems to be an exemplar of this type of photo (two shuttles on pads) on English Wikipedia, where it is already featured. There may be artistic complaints about the composition but I think that they are outweighed by the historic value. The sharpness is not great but due to the long distances and the atmospheric effects I think that this is acceptable, given the other good qualities of the photo. -- Pine^✉ 06:54, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - As User:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover recommended in 2009, this should be nominated for VI (unless it's not the most useful image of both those shuttles on launch pads at the same time). It's a pretty image and interesting, but it looks noisy and the crops left and right are sub-optimal.

Explanation deemed acceptable.--Peulle (talk) 06:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Peulle, I'm quite strictly against downsizing. I downsized only once or twice, and it was when I worked with panoramas which were so big that my computer kept freezing. --Podzemnik (talk) 06:56, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose My first reaction was "That's not a castle. That's a four bed house with pretensions". But then I realise you've photographed the side. It is photographed too close, which results in strange asymmetrical effects to the rounded parts and spire. 16mm on a full frame camera is ultra-wide and not really appealing for exterior architecture unless you are going for an effect. I appreciate it may not be possible to get much further back. At 7MP this appears to be 70% downsized from the 20MP camera. Please can you upload upload the original? -- Colin (talk) 21:49, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for you comment, Colin. I didn't downsize the image, the pixels were lost after I fixed the perspective and cropped the image. I couldn't get any further since from the western side there is a only a small driveway and then steep stairs down. Also, I think I left a bit more space on the sides than necessary because at that time I wasn't sure if I'd need that space during quite heavy perspective correction. Well, now I know than no, I wouldn't really need it :) I uploaded the original RAW here. Any advice how to improve my post processing is highly appreciated.

Comment I can understand we don't like this image for particular taste, but I disagree with the reasons given above. This is not my kind of paintings personally, though I support because I really think it's FP level. The author Terence Cuneo is famous enough to have his wiki page in 3 languages. The quality of the photography is excellent : shot at 100 ISO with a professional camera and certainly a tripod, as all the details are there. The resolution is not huge, this is true, but 9 Mpx is still okay.

Info The grand marble hall in Mount Stuart House. It's owner, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, was reputed to be the richest man in the world at the time. Perhaps the most expensive house yet built, containing more marble than any other building in Britain, and with the latest technology such as electric lighting, central heating and a heated indoor swimming pool.

It's still working really well for me. Oh, and maybe a few more categories would be good. --Podzemnik (talk) 19:09, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Podzemnik the centre of the hall was occupied by a temporary commissioned work of art (lots of glass spheres) which meant that I couldn't stand there. I was rather disappointed to not be able to take the standard photo, so had to shoot from the side. But actually this view lets you see into the galleries. If you look closely, along the gallery ceilings, you see lots of women, from history or from myth. According to a biographer, this was done to inspire his daughter. I'll look at categories later.. -- Colin (talk) 19:19, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Colin I see them! Interesting. I find this view much more entertaining that a central view actually. I feel like with a central view you "just" rely on a beauty of the ceiling but with a side view like this you bring some of your own lines to the whole image.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the technical quality is too low for an FP; the detail level, for instance. Also, there are chromatic aberrations.--Peulle (talk) 06:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the bird is calling I think. But Frank, what are the black blobs all over the image? Charles (talk) 15:47, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose unexplained black blobs. Charles (talk) 15:55, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(a) Black blobs: some kind of seaweed, but I'm honestly not sure which species. (b) Behavior: I had a conversation about this with one of the main authors of the great cormorant article on the German Wikipedia. It could be that the bird was regurgitating a pellet. However, after looking at the whole image series that I took that day, I can't 100% confirm that. Another option is that the bird – given it was a very hot day – opened the beak to cool off (a behavior I've seen before with cormorants). I think it would be best not to add any additional information to the image description. Thanks, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 23:53, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Great scene and I would love to call a shot like this my own but ... seems a little weirdly processed. The texture of the bark doesn't quite look natural, and the left edge of the church next to the sky seems to be a narrow pinkish blur. Was it downsized? Daniel Case (talk) 04:33, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: I took a close look, and I don't see the problem with the left edge of the church, which makes me suspect that your display may be the problem. The bark is difficult for me to judge but I don't see something that looks so bad that it's clearly a problem in my opinion, so I will Support. --Pine^✉ 07:13, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What I see at the left edge is that it becomes more indistinct than the section immediately below it with the trees behind it. In fact, it looks like there is a slightly dark halo there, which may be part of the same problem. Daniel Case (talk) 04:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was not shot in RAW, but in JPEG. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:18, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Btw @Daniel Case: , the matter of fact, that the photo was shot on a chilly January winter morning and the position of the sun was way down low (so the sunlight had to penetrate the hazy atmosphere almost parallel to the surface of the earth), the whole scenery is plunged in the long-wave reddish light; that’s the reason why the bark of the tilia trees is not brownish but more on the reddish side. That circumstance can evoke an unnatural appearance. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:34, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I could see that it was shot at sunrise, and I can imagine it looked magical, and I don't blame you for taking it. But ... taking in mind what I noticed and remarked on in my reply to Pine, it looks as if perhaps the image was slightly oversharpened. The colors of the trees look alright, but something about the texture doesn't. Daniel Case (talk) 04:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info Mount Stuart House on the east coast of the Isle of Bute, Scotland, is a Gothic Revival country house and the ancestral home of the Marquesses of Bute. It was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson for the 3rd Marquess of Bute in the late 1870s. The two wings are older. The home has a fine marble hall, private chapel, first-floor conservatory and heated pool. During World War I it was used as a military hospital and the conservatory was an operating theatre. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 13:07, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support per others for this beautiful photo. You could crop out the unsharpest part of the foreground, as I don't see any great advantage in including it, but that's not a good reason not to support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:35, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan thanks for the support. I discussed how to crop this with a friend, and this was the arrangement we thought worked best overall. I know that when you zoom in, the near grass is out-of-focus, but in the whole it positions the building nicely in the frame and the cut grass lines form weak leading lines. The photo was taken from 160m distance, which is great for ensuring the vertical perspective is not distorted, and the view corresponds roughly to a 45mm lens on a full frame camera, which turns out to also be considered an ideal view for minimising distortions. A lot of buildings are shot much closer, which can create some unpleasant wide-angle distortions, though it would mean the foreground is more likely to be in focus.

Support - Yes, another photo of gray skies in Alaska - in this case, it's raining. And look at nature's power, in water, ice and rock! For all the gray, it's a colorful composition, and in my opinion a very good one that deserves a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:38, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sure, it's nice scenery, but for me, this becomes a matter of having a raised bar. In this series, we have already seen several other photos reach FP status and in my opinion, the light and sky conditions in the other FP photos (I'm counting about 16 of them, btw.) are all better than this one. They also all have a higher resolution. Poco has uploaded so many great photos depicting scenery like this that the bar has been raised, and given that it's sort of competing against high-resolution panoramas and images with great light, I don't think this one is among the best within this subject.--Peulle (talk) 08:31, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: This one's a lot less noisy. Daniel Case (talk) 04:07, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Thanks. Yes it is, but it's of a different subject. This composition is very good and pretty, and I think that as a historical picture, it's good enough to merit a feature.

Look at the cloud above the mountain farthest away. The area around its edges seems a bit darker than you'd naturally expect it to be. Daniel Case (talk) 19:54, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I can't see it s.th. unnatuaral. All processing work was done (e.g. lighting curve) for the complete image and not for a single area of the image. There are some mountain peaks with snow and ice in front of some without (in the middle of the image area), maybe this overlaps does an edge, but this is the perspective and nothing unnatural. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:24, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Nice light, airy and pretty. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:25, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice, light and airy it is, but the highlights where the sun comes through the windows are not well handled, particuarly in the rear right. Daniel Case (talk) 17:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I don't understand what you mean .... can you explain yourself better? Thanks --Σπάρτακος (talk) 18:36, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Σπάρτακος: Take a look at full size at where the sunlight comes through to the walls on the right. The walls there are nearly blinding white, with the edges of the shadows blurred. These can be tamed in most image editing software. Daniel Case (talk) 04:05, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To be honest, I don't much like the red light either. It works better with File:Mount Stuart House chapel lantern 2018-08-25.jpg. There's an explanation for the red glass in the lantern here. The house & chapel is advertised as a great wedding venue, but I think you'd need to be careful about the time-of-day you got married, to avoid some red glow on the wedding dress giving all the wrong message. I've fixed the redlink in the description. -- Colin (talk) 10:43, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For some people, red is the symbol of fertility, so OK for a wedding. ;o) Yann (talk) 11:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty positive meanings for red in Christianity (Christ's blood, the fire of Pentecost) and here it is certainly intended here to symbolise a holy light from above. But if a photo appears to show a hellish red flame from below, it might not be so suitable for a marriage. -- Colin (talk)

Comment - Nice photo, but it looks like there's a dust spot to the left of the cone. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:19, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If we're looking at the same thing, I think that it's possibly a cloud. It doesn't look like dust on the camera lens to me, and I assume that the photograph was not printed and then digitized so there shouldn't have been a dust spot on a physical printout that a scanner then picked up. --Pine^✉ 00:24, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A nice curve in the beach and a nice sky, but on the whole I think the bar is set quite high for FPs of nature shots like this one, so it would need to be even more extraordinary for me to go "wow". It looks nice, but also fairly ordinary.--Peulle (talk) 07:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think your nomination stands on its own legs. While nice, it's not really necessary for the author to agree with the nom; if you think it's good enough, there's no shame in bringing it here, even if the author doesn't agree. :)--Peulle (talk) 20:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure the photographer has the right (I mean per the guidelines) to withdraw your nomination :-) Certainly voting against and requesting insistently to drop it, but setting the template ? Now the picture is irrevocably shared, its destiny may be quite unpredictable, so it can be used in any article, blog, but also become the next POTY if a consensus decides the promotion :-) So much power in your hands, now :-) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:05, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The title shows its correct location and a seril number for my convenience. As long as we have titles like File:15-09-26-RalfR-WLC-0107.jpg, it's OK this way and a rename is neither desirable nor necessary. --A.Savin 11:03, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just because we have one user who can't name his photos according to the proposed Commons:File naming doesn't mean the rest of us have to follow. If the main subject in a photo is tej, I think it's within reason that it should be a part of the file name, especially since this photo is chosen to represent that particular category and articles. --Cart (talk) 11:42, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've already explained that I don't wish rename of this picture, as I wish order in my uploads and otherwise I would have to do much more renames, like e.g. this picture to "fried fish at Lake Tana" and so on (bottomless pit). There is somewhere consensus from older discussions, that the wish of the author is to be respected, unless the title is fully meaningless and/or misleading, which is obviously not applying here; so I would be grateful if you leave me alone with this stuff. --A.Savin 17:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll think about it some more and get back to you.--Peulle (talk) 15:52, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Info I have no further panoramas of this side, this will be the last nomination from there (therefore there will be no "third view").

+1 for that question. Even though normal clear blue skies can produce banding, especially when making panoramas where the info is sometimes compressed in the process, this one looks very uniform with the same color values across the horizontal plane. --Cart (talk) 12:36, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes, it is also my experience. In this case I tried to improve with several methods, and it is interesting, that in all cases the banding was not visible in photoshop, but if you open it with another program (like "Windows Fotoanzeige") or if you upload it to commons, a slight banding is visible. I think it depends on the processing by the viewing-programs. --Llez (talk) 14:05, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Maybe I'm at fault here, but this photo is just not interesting me much. I don't find it surreal either, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:46, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In Dali's paintings you often find such cut trunks with strong light and shadows like with these swans and elephants for example. There's something surrealist with these trees in the sand of a beach, as if they had grown up here. At least it's a surprising situation in a natural place. Some rocks, shells, or umbrellas would be more understandable, but these trunks having a sun bath in front of the sea remain mysterious enough to me to like it. Your feeling probably differs and is perfectly legitimate. Also the quality of this picture is excellent at full size, so good QI + wow factor = FP, but that's just my voice -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info The "horoscope room" in Mount Stuart House was originally a sitting room with attached first-floor conservatory. During the first world war, the house was a hospital, the conservatory used for an operating theatre (presumably for the good light) and this room became a pharmacy. Afterwards the room was neglected and not much used until around 1980 when redecorated as a bedroom. The animals on the bed posts (and top of the canopy) are Reynard the Fox (with psaltery), Grimbard the Badger with bagpipes and Noble the Lion wearing a nightcap.

Neutral It's difficult to say what's the subject about. The rock with the trees are not exceptional, and the climbers are so small they seem a bit insignificant -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:49, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think their smallness in comparison to the rock face is the point of the composition, and it's a good one to me, but I haven't decided if it's an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:25, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it reminds me this picture where we realize afterwards there are people on it. They're not so small, but the landscape is not as breathtaking either -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:47, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not, but the view of them going up the sheer rock face is starker. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:19, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting discussion. I was going for minimalism here (sort of an upright of this) and, just like Ikan said, how small the climbers are compaired to the rock. Even though they are still clearly visible. --Cart (talk) 09:12, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant oppose I really like the idea of an image of climbers showing just how expansive and sheer the cliff face they're climbing is. But Basile has a point here; the two climbers are not immediately apparent and thus don't make the image's point. Now, if there were a bunch of climbers ...

Comment - In a case in which I might ordinarily support, with this subject matter, I feel that I am unable to decide whether to support and am therefore leaving the judging to others. The reason for this is that to me, a monument to this man is tantamount to honoring a Nazi war criminal. See w:Khmelnytsky Uprising#Massacres and w:Khmelnytsky Uprising#Jews if you want to understand why. None of this history means that if this merits a feature, it should not be featured, but it does mean that whereas I have found myself emotionally able to oppose photos of this monument or support them for QI, I do not feel emotionally able to support a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:30, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - And to take this one step further, if a photo of this monument is featured, are we going to feature it as a monument to a Ukrainian nationalist hero or a bestial mass murderer? Fairness would probably dictate a neutral tone and a link to the Wikipedia article about the uprising he led. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that you judge this picture on moral matters, and I can understand your embarrassment because I felt the same last month when a picture of a racist politician was nominated here. So I have to say I didn't based my vote on historical events, but on aesthetic aspects, and on the previous works by the same photographer (1, 2, 3 for example). Now this statue is in Ukraine, so probably this guy riding his horse is judged differently by the local citizens. As we have a featured picture of Stalin, Lenin and Kalinin here, and one of a nuclear explosion, it doesn't mean the nominators support war and weapon of mass destruction, neither the community -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:02, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, I am specifically not judging the photo (no vote here, as you see), and explained that I feel emotionally unable to do so. And it's not because of moral matters but because I am a Jew and this glorifying of one of the most horrific mass murderers of my people is more than I can support for a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:11, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's more the fact of there being a memorial to this man than a particular photo of it that evokes emotion from me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:49, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this photo is featured, it's going to be featured for what it is: "(Name), a bronze statue of a man on a horse, placed on a stone podium covered with creepers, all within a fenced area". No other comments about what he did or might have done. --Cart (talk) 12:56, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info Wemyss Bay railway station was awarded a top five star rating in Simon Jenkins' Britain's 100 best railway stations and is the only such station that isn't a major city terminus. A very similar image to this features on the cover of his book. This combined railway station and ferry terminus was built in 1903 to serve tourists from Glasgow visiting destinations along Firth of Clyde, but nowadays mainly just trips to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. The curving roof, central ticket office and floral displays are the notable features. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 15:46, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Asymmetrical cut, obstructing signal traversed in the middle bottom, extreme distortion and blurred on the left bottom border --Photographer 01:40, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This photo, as with many I took that day, was taken with my Samyang 10mm ultra wide-angle lens. It has an angle-of-view of 109.6° which is as far as you can reasonably take a rectilinear lens. This photo was taken with the camera pointing slightly up, to bring in more ceiling and less boring concrete floor, and then corrected afterwards in Lightroom. Unlike with my stitched photos, I'm far more restricted about where to crop and the sharpness is not as good, though I think still quite acceptable. I tried to position the camera in the middle to get pleasing symmetrical results, but it isn't perfect. One problem is the sign, which you can see in File:Wemyss Bay railway station concourse 2018-08-25 5.jpg (middle-left) and is bright red, white and yellow and very distracting if you saw that in the middle of the scene. I tried to position so it was edge-on and not catch the eye. It isn't the sort of sign I can just lift up and move out of the way, without getting arrested by the transport police :-). You can also see from that photo how the top of the ceiling in the photo has curved over towards me and is quite close. This will cause the wide-angle perspective distortion by magnifying, but I think here the straight lines of the roof don't look unpleasantly distorted. Other things like round windows and people tend to illustrate that distortion in a more uncomfortable manner. I agree it isn't a perfect photo and I'd have liked to have had the time to make a stitched panorama. -- Colin (talk) 07:39, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your rich explanation and, I understand what is your intention here, however, I think that this photo is not up to your previous work. I hope you can take my negative feedback as a stimulation to do better job (maybe in a combination of nodal ninja photos). Sincerely this place deserves a perfectionist work that you have accustomed us to appreciate and taste, with enormous size and majestic quality. Obviously my opinion about this photo is little shared, or simply people vote positively because we love you --Photographer 23:57, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Photographer, ha ha, I'm not sure about "love". I hope I've ruffled enough feathers with oppose votes and criticism that nobody should feel bad about giving me an oppose if warranted. I guess this is more similar to my fisheye photos than my stitched panorama photos. Or as a good photo of a great subject, rather than a great photo of a great subject, which would be ideal. I would love to go back and take a better shot but that's quite unlikely any time soon. I live 400 miles away, the weather is not always as good as this, and stations can be busy. -- Colin (talk) 07:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Dark and the composition doesn't work well for me. I'm maybe too classical in my tastes, but the combination of a shoe shop with a church looks a bit awkward to start with. I don't like the white building on the right because it has no charm and the harsh contrasts are not aesthetic. Also the signs on the left are not very elegant, so this shop is not attractive. But the main problem remains this street which is the way where the eyes want to go, while it is too dark -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:55, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Basile Morin. --The NMI User (talk) 09:49, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support even there are a few technical issues I like this view very much.

Support - Very attractive. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:25, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for a tripod shoot with ISO 125 surprising noisy (look e.g. at the white fassade). Overall a good fotography that doesn't thrill me. Beside of this: this image was obviously not taken from a public approachable place so we have no panorama of freedom here and I question the rightfulness of this image. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:47, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Freedom of panorama in Singapore is OK for 3D objects and all the buildings, see this category. The noise is normal for a night shot and the resolution is high enough, compare for example with this FP shot from the same roof -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:08, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say s.th. against the resolution. But the noise is not good, especially for such a camera like the 5D Mark IV. Read the definition of FoP carefully and you will see that this image doesn't fit in. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:31, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of FoP -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:37, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a definition for FoP, but an explanation. The location where this picture was taken from the observation deck of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The access to this point causes costs, is private ground of the hotel and therefore not a public place in the common definition. --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:07, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may misunderstand something concerning the FoP. This building (The Fullerton Hotel) is located in a public place, so whatever the origin of the camera, from a roof, a window, or a drone, that's this building which is considered. Here there are plenty of similar views from this observation deck, and they are all valid -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:36, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The existance of a category in Commons is not a valid proof. FoP means in many countries that your place, where you have taken the image, hast to be public. For sure you're able to show me the law of Singapure where this point is not relevant. --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore Copyright Act says in its Section 64 : "The copyright in a building or a model of a building is not infringed by the making of a painting, drawing, engraving or photograph of the building or model or by the inclusion of the building or model in a cinematograph film or in a television broadcast". You may read Wikipedia to learn more about the freedom of panorama, or ask the Village pump. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:13, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Taxiarchos228: I think you are premising German FoP law here, which is indeed very restrictive. The relevant one, however, is COM:FOP#Singapore: there is no such limitation, that the camera location has to be as publicly accessible as the photographed building. --A.Savin 11:56, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

weak support - Good image; I like the contrast with the background. Something doesn't quite pop, or maybe I'm just jealous because I've long wanted to try fresh mangosteen, but they're just unavailable in the US. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:14, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - They are sometimes available in Chinatown, though they are smaller than Malaysian mangosteens and not as good. But even a mediocre mangosteen, as long as it's ripe, is delicious. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:56, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I read a while back that, at least at one point, it operated as kind of a black market in NYC's Chinatown, because they're illegal to import for some agricultural/pest reasons. Or at least illegal to import from the main places that grow them. There was a NYT or New Yorker article years ago about how locals could make a special request and some grocers would have a secret stash in the back. Possibly that ban has been lifted or enough other countries grow them and can send them over since then, though... — Rhododendrites ^talk | 17:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Read w:Purple mangosteen: "Without fumigation or irradiation (in order to kill the Asian fruit fly) fresh mangosteens were illegal to import into the United States until 2007." Now they're legal, but like I said, the ones you can get here are nowhere near as good as fresh Malaysian ones. But get a couple anyway when you can. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:23, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: If mangosteens are difficult to find in the US, you really have to go to Asia or or any country where they're cultivated to taste them, it's going to be worth the trip :-) Honestly, they're very unique with delicious flavor, and easy to eat when they are ripe like that.

weak suppoert I took some time deciding this one. On the one hand, Bertha von Suttner is a very important historical figure, so the legitimacy of the nomination is beyond question. It's also a photo from 1906 (read that again, nineteen oh-freakin' six, it's over 100 years old!), so I think we can forgive the overall lack of sharpness. I just wish the resolution was higher, and I'm also not sure about the quality of the restoration. It looks OK compared to the original, but.. hmmmm..... Well, it's borderline, and I may be a bit taken with it since I basically live and breathe history.

Comment - Very cute and good quality, and I'm inclined to support, but I'd like to hear from Rhododendrites on why the photo is this small. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:34, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: It's small because as soon as I got closer, they ran off (I'm clumsier than they are in a rocky desert), and that's the longest focal length I had/have available to me (150mm, equivalent to 300mm full frame). — Rhododendrites ^talk | 15:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yes, very small and the lighting not so good. A bit soft. 1/1600 sec/F5.6 not a good choice for a static scene. Charles (talk) 11:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it were a situation when I could've used a tripod vs. freehandling at 150mm (equivalent to 300mm full frame) on rocky ground, I'd agree re: shutter. Perhaps I could've brought it down a little bit from 1/1600 and still be safe, but it was just shortly before I left the desert and the only time I saw kids together like this, nevermind close enough to photograph, so wanted to be safe because there was no shortage of light and they were just so cute :). Maybe a noob move, meh. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 15:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not all all 'Noob'. But only a few images aspire to FP! Charles (talk) 16:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Maybe I'm too much of a softy, but although this photo is small, it's well composed and I find it touching. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:14, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support, lighting isn't all that special and a little bokeh would be good, but I guess under the circumstances presented above this was the best shot possible. Good composition as well. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 23:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ikan and Cart are right, saturation was not added. I just changed the profile to Adobe strong. After bathing and just before sunset, the light and colours were essentially the same as they are shown here. Thanks for nominating Ikan.--Ermell (talk) 20:42, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Looking at a lawn in a photo is usually a good way of judging if it is oversaturated. The grass here is almost dull (compaired to the church nom ~~below~~) so I don't see any signs of oversaturation. --Cart (talk) 09:42, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like it. :) The combination of strong red and blue colours with intermittent whites, the composition with the mirror effect and the general curves of the subject are enough for me to overlook any smaller issues with depth, noise or saturation.

Oppose Dark, unsharp and noisy -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Basile Morin Thanks, I added a new version, however, remember that it is almost 100 years old human skin and I do not think that seeing sudoriparous glands will add any additional value to the composition. Let me see if its ok for you know, thanks --Photographer 01:39, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not ok, sorry, because the picture has been downsized, and is still unsharp IMO. Per COM:I : "Images should not be downsampled (sized down) in order to appear of better quality. Downsampling reduces the amount of information stored in the image file." -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:53, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Basile Morin Uploaded a full version, btw its not downsized (a D7200 can take pictures in a max size of 6000x4000), however, I let the original size how you asked me --Photographer 01:59, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Not downsized" ? Image measuring 4000 x 2978 px from the original size 6158 x 4584 px is not downsized ? That's 42% of the surface. Still there in the file history -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:11, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for FP per Basile, but The Photographer, have you considered VIC for this kind of photo? I haven't checked to see if it's best in its scope, but this is the kind of photo that could be good for illustrating an online article. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:45, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And very difficult to take because the permission and low light conditions --Photographer 02:01, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Undoubtedly, that helped make it very difficult or perhaps impossible to take an FP of this motif. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:27, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Info No, I haven't been out travelling I'm sorry to say. This is from the harvest in a vineyard/winery right up here in the cold north. After having documented the harvest at the vineyard, this photo stuck with me as a more vivid way of presenting the grapes-soon-to-be-wine, in the hands of the farmer himself instead of arranged on a plate or something.

Support Yes, different. I like the different shades of green. Are the Solaris grapes he's holding similar to Chardonnay? They look similar. Daniel Case (talk) 14:40, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I'm rather ignorant when it comes to grapes, other than that they and their products are tasty. I only learned that Javier chose Solaris since they are hardy and can survive in this climate. --Cart (talk) 15:46, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: Yes, that's what the article says, but not its Swedish counterpart yet unfortunately. But both of them do explain how it was bred, and it appears the dark spots are really just a coincidence as there is absolutely no Chardonnay in their ancestry. Daniel Case (talk) 02:23, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Composition! How long did it take you to move the farmers fingers to the right direction that they started to make a pleasing form? Also, any other colour of the farmer's T-shirt would spoil it but it seems like he was carefully choosing the right green gradient until he found the right fit for the color of the grass and the grapes. --Podzemnik (talk) 14:51, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are right on both accounts. :) I did manhandle the poor guy a bit to get the photo as good as I could. The hardest part was getting him in position so that the angle of the light became just right for the grapes. At first he was a bit annoyed with me taking up time from the harvest, but he brightened considerably when he realized he was also getting free photos of his vineyard to use. I was extremely lucky that he had such a fashion sense, any other shirt and the photo would have been ruined. But that is what photography so often is about: luck, the color of a shirt, a cloud or a ray of light in the right place. Things you can't control, only do your darnedest to capture when you see them. --Cart (talk) 15:54, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice symmetry, but otherwise a bit boring. Mitigating factor that Pushkin used to live here, but there are also a couple of drawbacks; a slight chroma noise as well as a disturbing reflection off the panel on the right.--Peulle (talk) 16:43, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
