Sunrise on Vereda del Lago and freighter
Absolutely every photo has a potential EV, order this requirement in the FP is killing creativity. However, I have added extra information in the detail of the image, I hope that this may be sufficient for future use. --The Photographer (talk) 02:06, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose Yes; I can push this picture to Lake Maracaibo; but not enough quality, I afraid. JKadavoor Jee 06:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, please could you specify a little more. And that way know my mistakes. --The Photographer (talk) 11:29, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Photographer, I've to disagree about "killing creativity" - FPC is not the whole Commons - each featured picture ideally should represent a good mixture of quality, wow and EV; if an image fails to become FP, it doesn't mean that the photographer should resign from contributing similar pictures. On the other hand, it's also quite easy to find a usage for a certain image somewhere on wiki - there are numerous pictures of poor or mediocre quality in articles - just be bold to replace them anywhere it makes sense & you can provide a better one... --A.Savin 12:14, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, however, the EV is so subjective that in fact is not taken into account in the current Guidelines for evaluating FPC --The Photographer (talk) 12:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Guidelines are just basics; you can go beyond. Answer to your question: I usually search for every possible "subjects" in a work. Here I can see "sunrise", "Eagle Austin" and "Maracaibo lake". "Sunrise" is just a generic topic; so I neglect it. I can't find a relevant article about "Eagle Austin" in projects I'm actively participating. The ship is very vague in this work too. I noticed Lake Maracaibo but not confident enough to add it there. May be you can go bold and check whether any other editors undo it. (If any undo with proper reason occurs; respect it. Don't go for an edit war.) JKadavoor Jee 16:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
