I appreciate any feedback about this photograph. Thanks --Reinhard Müller (talk) 21:20, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

I like it and think it should pass at QIC. For FPC, a bit more sharpening would be needed and the size might be questioned. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:06, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Ikan Kekek for your feedback. I now nominated it for QI. --Reinhard Müller (talk) 15:45, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek, Charlesjsharp, and W.carter: Possible FP? I messed up the settings for this one, I had kept the settings for my previous photoshoot which explains the low resolution: I was shooting on Nikon's JPEG-Fine-Medium setting. If only I hadn't blundered! ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 14:31, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

I've only looked at the crow. I will struggle not to be negative. Could I suggest you look at the dozens of web pages that offer advice on photography - there you would find help on subject, composition, POV, background, camera settings, DoF etc. So a bid needs to be 'side on' or further away to get the beak and eye in focus; black birds are the most difficult to photograph, the background needs to be a pleasant bokeh or nice blue sky (impossible with a black bird!). Try submitting images to QI before FP. This one should fail there. Good luck. Charles (talk) 14:46, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: Thanks for the response. I can take negative criticism if you have any, so that I can improve. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 14:54, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

This picture was actually against a green and dull grassy background so I decided to turn it into a B&W so that I don't feel nauseous when I look at that dull green. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 14:55, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

I think this is the wrong place to discuss this, because it is not a photography. --El Grafo (talk) 11:01, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Any comments on nominating these pictures as featured pictures?

• 
  Julan waterfall river
• 
  Julan waterfall is the highest waterfall in Sarawak, measuring 300 m in height.
• 
  Rainbow at the Julan waterfall
• 
  Mount Murut Summit plaque
• 
  Vegetations at the Mount Murut Summit
• 
  View of mountain ranges at the Mount Murut Summit
• 
  Mount Mulu Summit in the evening

I plan to nominate all the above seven pictures below as featured pictures. All the pictures above depict the sceneries of the interiors of Sarawak, which is located on the island of Borneo. Or I should instead nominate these pictures as "good images" or as "valued images"? Any comments are welcomed. Thank you very much. Cerevisae (talk) 11:03, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cerevisae,

Well, quality images are exclusive to our volunteers, images imported, as this, are not allowed as QI.

VI have to have a high education value, not seems the case.

And as a FP, also none of they have enough qualities to be one. If you want I can list faults of all photos to you,

This one File:Julan waterfall 01.jpg, is probably the strongest photo, and even this not pass as a QI, let alone a FP, opening the photo at 100% you will see the lack of sharpness, how blurred and noisy the photo is...

All of they have this same issue, actually.

Just a small tip, the <gallery> do not required "File:" to list the images (check my edit)
