  •  Info all photographic and digital work by me, the rest by wonderful craftsmen from Bavaria -- Jebulon (talk) 17:43, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Something different: a tea set, with gilt silver "surtout", first third of the 18th-century, Meissen and Augsburg work in chinese style, on display at Residenz, Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Please see file page for complete description in three languages (fr, en, de). The background color was chosen from the real one of the room, in order to match with the reflections. Original without manipulation available as first upload, transparent background version as well. -- Jebulon (talk) 17:43, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment You've done a good job cutting the tea service out of the background. But with the "studio" background, it looks strange to retain that green base. It's not a particularly pleasing colour, and isn't symmetrical. I don't think you'd choose that colour or the diagonal form in a studio -- you'd have the table/surface extend across the width, and choose another colour perhaps. Is there any way you could perform some Photoshop wizardry to extend that base across the width and change it to a neutral colour? -- Colin (talk) 18:15, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Weak oppose It’s really nice but the nearest cups look elliptical to me (wide-angle distortion?). The shot altogether lacks the least bit of studio quality, the lighting is too glary (maybe contrast overdone in postprocessing) and there’s too much noise in the shade parts. In a studio shot on FPC, I expect no less than perfection. --Kreuzschnabel 20:01, 9 October 2016 (UTC) review withdrawn. --Kreuzschnabel 20:20, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Kreuzschnabel I should point out, in case I confused things, that this isn't a studio shot (see first version uploaded). My comments was that it was altered to look like a studio shot. -- Colin (talk) 20:04, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Come on, dear Kreuzschnabel, I'm sorry to say that your review is not very fair because not really carefull. Please read the file description page. This is not a studio picture, this is a museum picture (as almost never seen here, landscapes or buildings are easier to manage...), with no tripod allowed, no artificial light (no flash) through a glass, against the natural light... Well, I encourage you to have a look to the original upload, and to compare what I achieved with this. I think furthermore the subject has a big value in many aspects.--Jebulon (talk) 20:15, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I'm sorry; I respect your achievement, but I don't approve of this degree of wholesale deletion in post-processing. Moreover, I like the original composition better and would have preferred for you to work with that, rather than deleting the background, which was elegant and showed depth. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:44, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some work you done, but WB and "back" dont go together here. Problem is more backward lighting. --Mile (talk) 06:27, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination, it needs some rework before a renomination. Thanks for supporters...and opposers to for their useful comments.--Jebulon (talk) 20:13, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
