Veryweak support The detail is impressive and the support is strictly for its educational value, but the composition is very lacking. With such bright colors on the animal and that varnished wood, it looks more like a kid's toy left on the dinner table. Some other background would be better. --Cart (talk) 08:52, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
- 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)

Oppose -- I don't like the camera movement. Is not too much to know that this is an effect we want, so it just seems moved. -Theklan (talk) 20:37, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Support The effect works for me. I like all the luminous crosses created by the movement and find something artistic in the image. Also an original nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Support I agree with Basile Morin. It's a good example of this technique because the crosses are aesthetically pleasing. Cmao20 (talk) 04:54, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Comment It's a nice and well handled ICM, but since the movements are so precise and sort of follow the buildings' shapes, I think it needs some better perspective correction, otherwise you more get the impression that this was someone trying to take a photo during an earthquake with the buildings starting to fall. --Cart (talk) 09:17, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- I was thinking the same thing when I saw this nomination. Will see if I can get to that later today. Thanks for the nom, Zquid. — Rhododendrites talk | 16:36, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
Support per Basile and Cmao20 (of course a little perspective correction, as suggested by Cart, could make the image even better). – Aristeas (talk) 16:32, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- 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)
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)
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)

- 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)
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)
- 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)
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)- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

Info Comet C-2023 A3, Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, in the night sky over Tuntorp with the oil refinery at Brofjorden to the left, in Sweden. The trees were illuminated by streetlights below the hill and a waxing crescent moon rising, so everything was made in one shot, no composite. We already have an excellent FP of this comet, so this nom is a bit daring, but hear me out why I make it. Most photos of comets are made as closeups or in natural places with trees and rocks, and that makes it hard to appreciate just how big these comet tails are. All we subjectively see is that it's bigger than a rock or a tree. But if you add in a third big element of known size in the composition, our gullible brains can make the step-by-step connection and realize how gigantic these comets are. Here the layers are: trees, oil refinery and comet, and that makes it easier to understand the size. I also like how the wind was cooperating and made a "wooosh effect" on the clouds as the comet went by. ;-) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 14:04, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

- On second thoughts I agree with Cart and I think this was a hasty vote. Cmao20 (talk) 13:07, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
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)

Delist and replace per nomination. In such delist-and-replace nominations we used to show both the old and the new (replacement) image. AFAIK this is OK because FPCBot cannot handle delist-and-replace nominations anyway, so the additional image causes no harm here. Therefore I have taken the liberty to add the new (replacement) image above at the right. @W.carter: Is this still correct and is the additional image OK, or have I missed something? Thank you! – Aristeas (talk) 10:14, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for noting this. I wasn't aware about it as this is my first delist-and-replace request.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:16, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Aristeas, either way is ok since these noms are closed manually and we can ignore the Bot, and having both images is just more "user friendly". --Cart (talk) 13:33, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Kiril Simeonovski: No problem! I did not want to criticize you! I just wanted to add the new image for the sake of easy comparison, and wrote the notice mostly in order to discuss this with Cart. @Cart: Thank you! – Aristeas (talk) 16:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Comment Nice view and good composition, I would very much like to support this if the perspective is corrected (see top row of windows). With such a geometric photo, the symmetry is important. It's easy to do so I'll wait for that. --Cart (talk) 13:25, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Yes, the leaning horizontal line is irritating, I also find the noise level a bit high. The subject itself is not extraordinary in my eyes, either. Sorry. Poco a poco (talk) 20:46, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Dull light and bland colors, sorry. Also per Poco. The subject is rather ordinary. About the composition, the asymmetrical composition (windows) and the cut out tree at the right don't work, in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:09, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
Comment In my eyes this view is actually interesting because of the contrast between the rigid order of the architecture and the living organic order of the trees. However to bring the contrast out we need, just as Cart has pointed out, a perspective correction. – Aristeas (talk) 10:03, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

- @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)
Support I think you are right. The baseline of the observatory is exactly horizontal. It is OK for me --Llez (talk) 10:19, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
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)

- 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)
- @Yann @W.carter, sorry, didn't remember to mention you. LucaLindholm (talk) 07:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

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)

Info created by Adi Nes – uploaded by Andrew J.Kurbiko – nominated by Tomer T -- Tomer T (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Support Untitled, better known as The Last Supper, is a 1999 photo by Israeli photographer Adi Nes. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's famous late-15th century painting of the same name, the photo features 14 Israeli soldiers in a setting reminiscent of the Last Supper. Nes created The Last Supper to reflect the idea that death is ever-present in Israeli society, not only in combat but also in daily life. By portraying the soldiers as both Jesus and Judas Iscariot, Nes sought to emphasize the vulnerability and fragility of their lives. The photograph hints at the possibility that this meal could be the last for any of the soldiers. The photo was sold for $264,000 at Sotheby’s in 2012, the highest price paid for any Israeli photo. The original print is currently in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. -- Tomer T (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Question But is there any way to correct the comments? This photo is quite suitable for the selected images - there is metadata and a large size. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 19:18, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin, @Cmao20, @W.carter
- 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)
- @Cmao20 So it turns out that the problem lies in the tie? MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)

Info The 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.

- It shouldn't be this curved in the first place. Could this be due to a faulty stitch? - Benh (talk) 16:49, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Comment Interesting. I quite like the light and the background, but think the composition would work better if you remove the distracting branches at the left, and a tiny little bit at the right. You still have lead room. Image note added -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:49, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin: New version uploaded, thanks. The crop above felt too tight on the left side, so I did a partial crop then cloned out the two little pieces of branches sticking out. — Rhododendrites talk | 14:11, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

“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...

Comment Very beautiful golden-hour light and scenery. I would consider to crop it a little bit at the left because that small fragment of a wall at the left margin is too small to provide a framing effect and hence rather irritates. There are some little dust spots and unsharp insects in the sky, e.g. again near the left border and in the centre, which could be removed. And could you (sorry) remove/reduce the slight halo around the two cypresses and the round pillar at the right? Best, – Aristeas (talk) 10:38, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Agree... Terragio67 (talk) 10:47, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, the light is beautiful and the structure is interesting, but the composition is a bit lacking. The main subject is too small in frame, I would have liked to see more of down the wall and less heaven. If possible also an angle that was some degrees more and not make the wall "crenellations" so compact. It's a beautiful view that falls just short of FP for me. --Cart (talk) 13:25, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
Support I agree with Cart's points on the composition but nonetheless FP to me because of great subject, light, and quality. Cmao20 (talk) 13:34, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
Comment @Aristeas , @Cart , @Cmao20 Thank you very much, I made some changes based on your valuable comments and advice. At the moment I am satisfied with the result even if I am tempted to remove more from the left side. -- Terragio67 (talk) 14:12, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, it looks better, but unfortunately more wall and better angle can't be corrected so my vote still stands. --Cart (talk) 14:18, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your prompt response, I would need a drone for the proposed shot, however I was convinced to narrow the field of vision to give greater visibility to the monument. Terragio67 (talk) 14:46, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I suspected as much, that's why I wrote "If possible". Unfortunately not all scenes have an FP in them for all viewers, a fact that I'm painfully aware of. You do your best, but still it's not quite enough. That's when you learn to let go and enjoy the shots you can make. I always dread writing opposes like this, but compo is too important for me. --Cart (talk) 15:05, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, I agree with Cart, great lighting and quality, but the subject/compo is not talking to me, I see bricks but without a clear motif Poco a poco (talk) 18:50, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Your opinion, like Cart's, is important, and I accept it. I just want to point out that this composition is not dedicated exclusively to a monument, which unfortunately is abandoning us. The main actor is nature (the greenery) which takes possession of the bricks or what is left standing. The composition is to be divided into two parts: On the left the work of nature and on the right the work of men. This is why above I used a quote from Victor Hugo, an excellent observer and very attentive to nature. Terragio67 (talk) 19:56, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I understand what you are getting at, but in this case, the greenery just isn't as eye-catching as the man-made part which is stealing the whole show. --Cart (talk) 20:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Info This photo actually belongs with the cherry blossom nom below, but not so much it works as a set. This is the same tree in autumn, and the view is from inside the tree looking out of the canopy, whereas the blossoms are photographed from the outside looking in. I like the almost graphic pattern the trunks make with the leaves and the sky, so very different from how it appears in the spring. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 22:10, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
