• I recently find this image, and I an quite enjoying the composition and colour. Is it in FP or QI level?廣九直通車 (talk) 12:04, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
  • While I agree the composition and color are interesting, there are technical problems that would keep it from being FP (and probably QI). Lots of heat distortion and sharpness issues, some chromatic aberration, etc. Maybe a VI, though, for the expressway. Such pictures are often hard to get in the daytime with no cars in the frame. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  14:37, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Is this picture on FP level?

Thanks for a constructive review!

Seems like a very good photo to me, PantheraLeo1359531. It's unusual to see photos of altars from so close in at FPC, and some folks may feel like a photo taken from a bit further back would be a better composition. I don't know how others might react, but it could be worth nominating. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:49, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your review, I'll try it :). --PantheraLeo1359531 (talk) 11:00, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Help to identify

I found without categories and I restored it, but I don't know much more about the subject, anyone who can help me, please?

• @Ezarate: This page is for getting feedback on photograhs, not identifying their contents. All I can say is that upon close inspection it looks like some kind of en:Embroidery rather than a painting. Maybe the people at en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Arts might be able to help you further?

• Not sure what the best venue would be for asking about this. I tried to do some quick identification work, but without much luck. As it's a friendship book/festschrift, it's likely not the work of Jenisch himself, but I can't find anything about it online. Best thing I could find is a reference in "jenisch"+Liber+amicorum this book to "a Liber amicorum or Paul Janisch" in the Stuttgarter Landesbibliothek. Maybe if someone lives near Stuttgart, they can check. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  13:55, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

• It's a page from a "Stammbuch" or "Freundschaftsalbum". Latin: "Liber amicorum" (engl. book of friends; "album amicorum" is a synonym). Those books came up during the 16th century and were highly popular among students until the first half of the 19th century. They're an early version of autograph books, and this one belonged to Paul Jenisch, a lutheran theologian who served the dukes of Württemberg as a court musician (thus the reference in the Stuttgart library). These types of books were more popular among protestants than among catholics, and Jenisch is an example of that. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:57, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

P.S. You can see and download the full work here: http://digital.wlb-stuttgart.de/purl/bsz332487253

P.P.S. On folio 132 verso you'll find information about who made this for Jenisch. Please let me know if you need further help.

Thanks Frank, can you translate folio 132 to English, thanks!!!! Ezarateesteban 22:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
