Gold dust day gecko
  •  Support Good point. As you know I always prefer naturual surroundings, but this is unusual. These geckos were introduced acccidentally many years ago from Madagascar and have adapted to live in houses for the wamrth. Apparantly, they are seldom seen outdoors. Thanks for the nom. Cmao20 Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:19, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for this info. In this case I think the surroundings add value to the photo because they illustrate the usual setting in which this gecko is found. Cmao20 (talk) 15:25, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suspected these geckos liked the indoors, and since that suspicion was only based on what I'd seen on TV, I was being cautious. But there are more appealing indoor backgrounds so I'll just tone it down to 'weak s'. --Cart (talk) 16:45, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Panorama Tower at night (intentional camera movement)
  • Yes, for the diversity of opinions and tastes, I also support the suggestion of perspective correction. Why? Simply because in this type of image, lines and directions have a meaning. And if the image were tilted, the visual aspect would not be the same at all. I think that with these very straight buildings, properly worked horizontals and verticals will give more the impression that the blur is not the result of chance, but intentional in the context -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:01, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Theklan. I don't see the value to see this motion blur for a static subject. Ok for a car at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, not ok for a skyline by night. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 22:18, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not impressed by it, but it's just a matter of taste at this point. By the way, not to antagonize anyone, but applying perspective correction to this is just nonsensical, it's visually striking because each light traces out the same shape, perspective correction is for documentary purposes Henrysz (talk) 03:49, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Created by David Valle Martínez – uploaded by David Valle Martínez – nominated by Zquid -- Zquid (talk) 12:55, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think this is a "Science" picture more than just a nice picture of an animal (if you know what I mean)... so I choosed Scientific Art category... -- Zquid (talk) 12:55, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would ask you to reconsider the gallery, since most of the images of animals in Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media/Others#Animals are scientific art from old books on nature etc. (only 3 out of 28 are not). I think it would look odd to have just one animal image in the gallery that you suggest. --Cart (talk) 14:14, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It looks like the textured paper has been erased all around the illustration. But the lower left corner is dark with a white background -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:20, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Basile. The conversion from drawing to digital is done a bit haphazardly. This would be better as only a photo of the drawing. Mixing two media needs better post processing. --Cart (talk) 08:56, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree with both of you. Well, it would be very difficult to restore the paper texture, but it’s easy to remove the irritating remnants of the texture at the left border and in some other outer areas. This way we get at least a more consistent impression. Here is an attempt to retouch the image. I have also removed some tiny stains here and there which did not look like intentional parts of the drawing (of course it’s hard to say where to draw the line here; if you want to restore some little points or remove another stain just drop me a note). Furthermore, the missing sRGB colour profile has been added, as well as some basic metadata like author, title, short description, and copyright/license. @Basile Morin, Cart: Would you consider this retouched version as a considerable improvement? Then one could nominate it as an alternative … Hope it helps, – Aristeas (talk) 16:18, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Aristeas, the transition in that picture looks better to me. However "one" should not add it, I think it's up to the nominator to decide if it should be entered as an 'Alternative'. You forgot to include Zquid in your question. I'm not a fan of the way people here sometimes just jumps in and tacks on 'Alts' to noms without even asking the nominator first, it's downright rude and disrespectful. Sometimes people want to keep things in their original state. We can suggest, that's all. --Cart (talk) 16:37, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Cart, I guess we have a misunderstanding here. I did not want to ignore Zquid. I just wanted to ask first the users who have commented on the image quality whether they would see an improvement in the retouched version. I did this because I do not want to bother the nominator with a suggestion to add an alternative version as long as I don’t know whether the people who made out the problems were satisfied with the improvements or not – in the latter case an alternative would make no sense at all. If you and Basile would have agreed with the retouching, I would have in turn asked Zquid whether they would consider to nominate the edited version as an alternative. I would never have added an alternative version myself (or asked you or someone else to do that; and if you look back you will see that I have never added an alternative to nominations by other people, but only suggested possible alternative versions). The “one could nominate it” was meant as a short explanation why I am asking you, and in no way intended as an insult to Zquid or as an insinuation that you should add the alternative. I understand that the wording of that sentence was unclear and unfortunate. I was under the impression that the use of the indirect “one” in such a context was an educated idiom in English, but it seems this was wrong (I may have confused this with German or classical Greek τις phrases). Please consider that my command of the English language, and also my skills in diplomacy, are not on your level. @Zquid: I apologize if my comment has insulted you. That was not my intention. I just wanted to help. – Aristeas (talk) 16:54, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Aristeas, I understand your good intention but I think a nominator should be included in all stages of a discussion about their nom. I reacted this way since I myself have been in Zquid's position, where someone was discussing how to correct my image instead of just asking me as nominator. It was not a good feeling and I did not wish it for Zquid. --Cart (talk) 17:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand, Cart. @Zquid: I apologize again, it was not my intention to ignore or insult you, I just wanted to avoid to bother you with suggestions as long as I did not even know whether they make any sense at all. But I see this was wrong. So my attempt to be polite was actually quite impolite. I am very sorry for that. I have striken my comment above. – Aristeas (talk) 17:13, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Oppose Sorry, but this does not work for me at all. The focus is very soft, there is strong CA to the left. The arrangement makes it look like some grotesque hand, add to that a strand of hair in the mix makes it unappetizing for me. I don't think we should promote descriptions of plants as having so many wonderful medical properties like "can also prevent and treat Alzheimer's", when none of that is proven (see the article about the plant). Might be best if the description focused on just the botanical facts. --Cart (talk) 13:03, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cheomseongdae Observatory under blue sky in Gyeongju South Korea
  • @Llez: Thanks for your review. It's very easy to rotate this image, and I would be happy to improve it if necessary, however here I really don't think it's tilted. Otherwise the central observatory would lean to the right. Maybe the lampposts are not perfectly vertical (please compare to the pillars next to the second street lamp from the left, for example) -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:44, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The tilt to the left comes from the fact that the camera orientation is not in line with the semi-minor axis of the ellipse-shaped fenced area. You should have moved a few steps to the right in order to take a balanced picture, but that would have resulted in a side view of the observatory which you probably wanted to avoid. In other words, the semi-minor axis of the fence is not perpendicular to the side of the square-shaped top of the observatory. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:09, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rue de Pera, Costantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey, 1912
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Historical#1910-1919
  •  Info A typical view of a street at the beginning of the 20th century... so what's interesting about it? Well... it's Constantinople (now Istanbul), the capital ot the Ottoman Empire, in 1912! The most interesting part are the french advertisements on the building in the background, particularly visible the Nestlé one.

    Yes, I know. The fact is that I still don't know how to restore an image. I saw that you various times did restore the historical images (I love them) nominated by me, often saving the nomination itself. I am so grateful for all this work done for me and other users. So, how do we proceed? Regards LucaLindholm (talk) 07:30, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Yann @W.carter, sorry, didn't remember to mention you. LucaLindholm (talk) 07:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You could either just let this nom run to its end (it will probably be closed as 'not featured' soon) or 'withdraw' it yourself. Then I suggest you start learning how to restore old images, if you have such a passion for them. When you nominate an image, you are responsible for it and how it looks. If you show up here time after time with images you know are not top notch, just hoping that someone else will do the job for you and save your nom, you are sure to bring down the displeasure of the community on yourself. We've recently had another user with this behavior banned from FPC for life, so patience around here is pretty thin right now. Anyone can browse old archives and find nice photos that needs restoring, the trick is to restore them yourself and by that contribute to improving the quality of the Commons collection. --Cart (talk) 10:53, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I agree with Yann. Since you have made nominations of old photos before, you must know that such photos almost always needs to be restored before having a chance here. So please sort out such things before you make a nomination. When a photo arrives here, everything should be ready and top class, this is actually not a workshop. --Cart (talk) 19:43, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • The size is fine but the sharpness/detail at full size is not. The picture does not look entirely sharp even in thumbnail, and at full size the lack of sharpness is very obvious. For comparison, look at the smudginess and lack of detail on Mr Yanukovych's tie in this picture compared to this FP where the texture of the fabric in Mr Ahlander's tie can clearly be discerned. And the FP of Mr Ahlander was promoted in 2012, standards have risen further since then. Cmao20 (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Cmao20 So it turns out that the problem lies in the tie? MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I didn't say the problem was the tie. I said that comparing the tie to the other photo is a good way to illustrate how this photo is of low quality. None of the picture is at all sharp. Cmao20 (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this. Such a photo quality can't be made sharp and there is no way to "fix" cut-out background. The reviewers here on Commons are looking at the photographical and editing quality of the image. If you want the opinion of how good it illustrates the articles it's in, you need to nominate it at some Wikipedia instead, like Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, but remember that rules and criteria varies a lot so read the rules carefully. --Cart (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

panoramic view of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away, world's largest photo mosaic, made of photos from the Hubble Telescope.
It is a panoramic view of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away. It took over 10 years to make this vast and colorful portrait of the galaxy, requiring over 600 Hubble overlapping snapshots that were challenging to stitch together. The galaxy is so close to us, that in angular size it is six times the apparent diameter of the full Moon, and can be seen with the unaided eye. For Hubble's pinpoint view, that's a lot of celestial real estate to cover. This stunning, colorful mosaic captures the glow of 200 million stars. That's still a fraction of Andromeda's population. And the stars are spread across about 2.5 billion pixels. The detailed look at the resolved stars will help astronomers piece together the galaxy's past history that includes mergers with smaller satellite galaxies.

Cesena, Rocca Vecchia (Italy).

Nature comes to the rescue of every abandonment and, where everything is missing, it restores itself whole, flourishes and greens again on all the ruins: it has ivy for the stones and love for men. Deep generosity of the shadow.Victor Hugo. This is a partial view of the architectural remains of Rocca Vecchia, Cesena (1294), although much of what is seen was refurbished and reinforced in the Renaissance period (14th century), and beyond...
