Comment It would appear that the subject of the painting is notable in the world of sports and that the painter might not be otherwise notable. She does not have an en.wiki article, at any rate. Should she? No offense to her or anyone else, but I'm not loving this as an artwork. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:09, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Weak oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 04:40, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Comment This is the sort of thing which may be a good candidate for Wikipedia's FPC: it's a good quality portrait of a notable person for whom we do not have a free image, and a painting that is worthy enough to have been displayed publicly as a mural. It undoubtedly enhances the article in a meaningful way. As for Commons FPC, I don't know -- photos of paintings are typically higher resolution at FPC, for starters, and usually by notable artists. Don't know that it needs to be that way -- I'm just skeptical it'll find support. A side point, googling the subject, I do see this photo. I can't find the rest of the image, but it's similar enough that it makes me wonder if this is a COM:DW. I think we'd need to see the full other photo to make that determination, but it does look like this other portrait may have been based on a specific photo as well. Valuable work indeed, but may be problematic for Commons to host. — Rhododendrites talk | 15:55, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Question Is this a photomotage? In my opinion the shadows of the branches and of the bear and the ape don't fit together (the sun comes from left, as the branch behind the ape shows, but the ape itself is equal lighted. The belly should be in shadow when lit from the same direction as the branch it is perched on), also there is a difference in sharpness of the branches and the mammals. The light halo around the branches and the storks is missing around the mammals, the type of contour is different, less sharp. --Llez (talk) 11:20, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Weak support I am going forth and back on this one. On the one hand, your restauration is excellent (as always), her smile is natural and charming, and I also like how the photo just fades at the bottom. On the other hand, the face seems not as sharp as the collar, therefore I wonder whether the photographer has focussed imperfectly or if there is a tiny little bit of motion blur … Please correct me if I am missing something. --Aristeas (talk) 08:42, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- It's a very 1910s aesthetic. I don't entirely love it, but I also don't like changing past aesthetics. 23:14, 26 March 2022 (UTC) Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:14, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- The 1910s were kind of a nadir in photographic quality. You started to be able to take photos quickly. Candid shots were possible, you didn't need to find a pose that you could hold motionless for minutes on end, you could go into a random place and take a photo... But they weren't as good, as user-friendly as the old ones. The benefits outweighed what they lost, and eventually, cameras and film caught up - as did all the photographers who suddenly had to learn new techniques - but the cost of that freedom and the need to retrain was that the quality dipped for a while. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:58, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your explanantions, Adam! This photo could even be taken as a good example for the benefits and drawbacks you mention – I imagine it would have been difficult to capture her natural, spontaneous smile with the old, slower photographic technique, but on the other hand the photographer was not able to frame and focus as meticulously as before. --Aristeas (talk) 10:22, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

- At the risk of being a killjoy: I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a regular modern kit they have ready for visitors bumping their head. I've been in one of those museum pieces (this one's in Hamburg). While they try to make it as safe as possible (e.g. by squeezing in a semi-proper staircase), there are still plenty of opportunities to hurt yourself if you're not careful. Anyway, I love how the thumbnail makes it look quite roomy but as soon as you use the proper panorama viewer it feels authentically tight.

Comment This composition has yet to fully convince me, but I like it much more than you guys; it makes sense as a set of layers, if you're not trying to move your eyes around the whole composition including curves between the layers; the peaks in sunlight are quite beautiful; and though there's some posterization in the low-light areas, we've featured a whole bunch of lower-light images (more silhouetted) with more layers of mountains that are much more posterized, so it's all in how you look at this and perceive it artistically. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:23, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Info Polititapes aureus is characterized by a color pattern on the shell consisting of brown lines, spots and rays. The inner surface of the shell is more or less yellow (golden = Latin: aureus). The variation "beudanti" differs by the partially violet coloring of the inside. The "mabillei" variation has a predominantly whitish shell, only the lunula and the back side are colored brown; created by Llez - uploaded by Llez - nominated by Llez -- Llez (talk) 06:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose Not a valid set according to the rules, because it does not "show all possible variations". This page seems to indicate there are more variations for this species, and our guidelines are clear: "Not acceptable: A few breeds of cats". We are in this case in my opinion. They are Valued Images, but not FP -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:41, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment Sorry, but your link leads to a list of synonyms (!), NOT varieties. Synonyms are quite different from varieties, they are the names by which a species has been described by differernt authors, regardless of shape or color. Several synonyms can include identical forms or varieties, they are not morphologically differentiated, unlike varieties! --Llez (talk) 05:20, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- The page contains 65 times the word "variété" (variety, in French) and says twelve forms belong to the subgenus Polititapes ("douze formes appartiennent au sous-genre Polititapes").
- How many varieties are presented in your set, two? Beudanti and mabillei, so why 3x2 pictures? And where is it written that these two varieties are the only 2 possible? (cf guidelines "unless they share a defining characteristic and represent all possible examples of that)". -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:09, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment The text you cited above and you linked to was published in 1939! This more than 80 years old work corresponds in no way to the current state of research. The taxonomy, the species concept and the definition of varieties is completely different today than it was then. BTW "twelve forms belong to the subgenus Polititapes" you say, but this set shows not Polititapes (the whole genus) but only the species Polititapes aureus! --Llez (talk) 06:32, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- The page does not talk (only) about "synonyms", that's what I meant with this quote. By the way, almost all the synonyms mentioned in the Wikipedia page are unaccepted. Moreover, the question of the diversity, concerning the varieties, remains. Would a set nomination of 50 races (like varieties) of dogs be acceptable here? 🤔 No. Thus, it is the same here, in my opinion. Imagine a set showing a picture of dog captioned "Dog", and then two pictures called "Dog Labrador Retriever" and "Dog Poodle". Weird, right? -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:05, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia refers to WoRMS, and WoRMS only works at the species level. "Acceptet" in WoRMS and Wikipedia means that it is an accepted species. Approved subspecies and varieties are therefore always listed with "not accepted" (as species!), but it does not mean, they are not accepted as subspecies or variety. --Llez (talk) 08:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- We agree the two "var." of your set, mabillei and beudanti, are not valid species, right? And they certainly don't form a whole group. Thus, your set is not valid according to our guidelines (see COM:FPC).
- Please have a look at this set nomination. My comment may "speak" to you 😆
- The major problem here is the potential diversity of "varieties" / races. Like dogs or cats -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:29, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose Per others wrt being a set. Also I don't think the quality is great here compared to other shells. We have often 80MP of mostly black and when you examine each shell, many are out of focus for most of their area, and none appear to have pixel-level sharpness. In other words, I think this is at most 20MP or less, of resolution. -- Colin (talk) 18:51, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Weak oppose per Colin. Daniel Case (talk) 03:52, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment As there ist a huge variability and no shell looks like another you have a lot of transitions between the varieties and ist is often not easy to separate them. Therefore there is no consensus of the different authors about the number and the differention of the forms and varieties. I choose the three forms of the species which can easy be distinguished by a single clear character and with no doubt. But I think it is better

Support Extremely detailed and instructive. The subdued light lowers the contrast so that even buildings in the shade are easily recognizable. – IMHO such 360° panoramas fall into their own aesthetic category, so that their composition cannot be judged the same way as in normal landscape photos, etc. Instead of harmonic proportions, mass distribution, counterpoints, etc., what matters here are the well-chosen viewpoint, the technical implementation, even transitions in lighting and clean stitching.

Weak oppose per Ikan. Really beautiful and nothing really wrong here, but not that striking in compsition, plus a bit unclear as for the subject. Assuming, according to the file name, the church to be the main subject, then there’s too little visible of it. --Kreuzschnabel 12:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose I know I'm biased... But the green background (yes not grey but is it really always better?) distracts from the colours of the bird and the bird itself, the resolution is higher yet at the same time the crispness is lower (compare: [1] [2]... So what's the point in this nomination -- perhaps to legitimate the replacement by this picture in all WP articles? Sadly that wouldn't surprise me... --A.Savin 04:13, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Comment The other photo is better, for the reasons you state, but I still like this photo per se. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:23, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Both have the same sharpness. Which background you prefer is a matter of taste - the green or the grey sky with thorns. There is no legitimate reason for A.Savin to oppose. Perhaps he might like to vote on this current FP which has garnered significant support. Just voting on nominations by users you dislike is unwarranted aggression. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Both have not the same sharpness. Besides both links for direct comparison, you also can see here what would my picture look like if just upscaled to the same width as yours... As you may see, then, all the feathers, the eye, the beak etc. (surprisingly?) look very similar, but OK, just keep calling white black and black white, it's hopeless. --A.Savin 13:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Could you please have a look? (Just as a hint/question, not as critique of your restauration which is, as always, excellent.) --Aristeas (talk) 07:56, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Aristeas: I was eyeing that a lot. It's either a hatpin or similar, or damage, but if it's damage, it doesn't match any other damage on the photo, and you almost never see only one bit of damage on a photo, so my presumption is real. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:08, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Photo editing hardly began in our generation, but aesthetic tastes change. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:35, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Photo editing pretty much started with the inception of photography itself. Photomontage, for instance, is nothing that needed Photoshop to become popular. Early superstars like Le Gray were master manipulators - out of sheer necessity. Otherwise "HDR" (hehe) images would have been impossible. To all romanticists who still believe that it was digital photography that killed off the holy concept of authenticity: Go to your room - that discussion started in the 1850s (seriously)!

Oppose This is, I'm afraid, only just QI and if cropped a sensible amount would be too small and too soft. A bird on a wire is also never ideal. It is also sensible to check whether a portrait-style image like this could be good enough to be considered for the infobox in a Wikipedia article. This isn't. Please check the current nomination for a bee-eater to see how you must enter the appropriate FP category. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:30, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Comment It's sharp, with good bokeh, and I don't mind the barbed wire. I also appreciate a roomy crop when it makes sense (although typically you want a little more space in the direction it's facing than space behind it), but as others say, it's just rather small compared with FPs of birds these days. — Rhododendrites talk | 17:01, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Nothing wrong with it but too small for FP in 2022, the detail on the bird is too little especially seeing it only takes up a small part of the frame. Cmao20 (talk) 21:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose per others, especially Cmao20 and Basile (I think it's OK that the bird is on a wire). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:04, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- You probably really hate J.J. Abrams movies
Comment Of course, anyone is free to reject such a photo because of the light effects, this is completely valid, such effects are definitely a matter of taste. Nevertheless I want to make a technical note: In such an extreme contre-jour situation, where the sun is somewhere mid in the image, it is really difficult to avoid lens flares completely. In fact, I’m rather surprised that there aren’t more flares in this photo – many lenses would produce a whole series of light spots and so-called ‘ghosts’ across the image in this situation. The light effect visible in this photo also seems to consist less of lens flares and more of diffraction spikes, an effect that is often even brought about on purpose. Overall, I would call the shot remarkably clean (considering the extreme backlight, see above). --Aristeas (talk) 10:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment I appreciate your remarks. However, I'm not sure about the composition, either. It's a pretty scene, but the big lamppost closest to the viewer calls too much attention to itself and causes a tension that doesn't fit in with the rest of the scene. I also find the long sunray distracting because of its direction in the context of the rest of the picture. In terms of movies and TV shows, I do find it strange that lens flares are often deliberately used. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:38, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment Thank you. (And I agree with you completely regarding the overuse of lens flares etc. in movies and TV: IMHO most times that’s just kitsch ;–).) --Aristeas (talk) 07:27, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Comment With due respect to all fellow wikimedians who have voted on this photo, following is the Histogram of this picture from LR Link. There are no clips either in Highlights or Shadow.
The lens is a macro prime and is tack sharp with focus on the eyes of the primate. The aperture was the widest at f/2.8 as it was a cloudy day which I admit is not the optimal aperture for this shot but raising the ISO much (this was ISO 400) was not an option as my DSLR is quite outdated and introduced unacceptable noise. Regarding the venue being captive, here's the description from the wikipedia page - "Nandankanan Zoological Park is a 437-hectare zoo and botanical garden in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India". So there is a zoo but this animal is not part of the zoo enclosure. My previous comment should have been worded better. Anyways, I feel this photo should be considered keeping these points in view- Subhrajyoti07 talk 10:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment "clipping" does not necessarily mean "RGB at 100%". There is considerable loss of detail in the bright parts visible, even if the numeric brightness might still be below 100% due to subsequent normalisation – there are large "mash" areas of nearly one colour with not a single hair to be seen. --Kreuzschnabel 13:05, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The blown white areas in the fur make it insupportable for me, even if it was crisp sharp (which it isn’t). Is this a JPG out of camera, and if so, is the raw file still with us? I might like to have a try with RawTherapee :) --Kreuzschnabel 12:49, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Kreuz, I am sharing the original NEF file for this shot here

Weak support Disclaimer: Since I have suggested [3] to Kritzolina to nominate the most impressive pictures from Wiki Loves Folklore also at FPC, I am indirectly involved in this nomination. ;–) It is interesting that no one has voted so far; probably some of us are torn back and forth. Indeed, this is an unusual image, both as a carnival image and as a portrait. The crop seems too tight at first (I would like to see more of the wings [?] on her costume), but on the other hand it draws the eye very efficiently to her face, which is very impressive because of the combination of colourful make-up and the mask over it. The statue (?) on the right in the background is a bit perplexing, but it too seems to be looking at the woman in the foreground, like an echo of the viewer; it’s a clever idea. Unfortunately, the topmost of the feathers on her mask are overexposed and the sky in the upper left shows some posterization; this disturbs the otherwise technically good picture somewhat, but does not ruin the overall impression which is, of course, impressive enough. --Aristeas (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

In the fifth missing image, the rear bee-eater ponders how birds, who famously have no teeth, could possibly have dental appointments.

Support When I saw this photo on the QIC page (thanks to IamMM for nominating it!), I was immediately fascinated. I love the vivid colours with their contrast of warm and cold shades; comparison with other photos (1, 2, 3 …) suggests that the colours are authentic, they are probably caused by the vulcanic nature of the lake. The view vertically from above transforms the whole picture into an abstract work of art. The size is not extreme, but OK (6 megapixels), and the photo is very sharp, crisp and clean and therefore I am fine with the resolution. --Aristeas (talk) 13:34, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- Indeed. I'm a Russian, I'm against war and I'm feeling with the civilians of Ukraine, and as you may guess now I'm feeling heavily betrayed by my country. Because of that, probably I'm not going to go there again (and submit more quality pictures of Russia for Commons) for decades now, maybe even for the rest of my life. But I'm strictly against refusal of any Russian stuff by other users, who maybe do not support this shit either, yet do not have the possibility to escape timely (OK we don't know about this one user... however note that their websites/Facebook/VK have not been updated since 2019 or so, that means we really cannot say anything here...). That said I can fully understand if some Ukrainians now say "no Tchaikovsky/Tolstoy/Chekhov... anymore" or so, but someone like Charlesjsharp (from England, a wealthy European country far from Ukraine + Russia, far from the war, far from Putin etc.pp..) is not in the position IMHO... Meanwhile the offensive and slanderous comments by him are not surprising to me, however this here is really outrageous. When will the community finally recognize that all the "featured/quality/valued" contents by this user is actually a "tainted gift" for Commons and the whole Wiki movement?

Support The attractive combination of colors perfectly works as an abstract for me, it looks like someone poured fake saffron on the stones. It is true that the propaganda machine of authoritarian governments, in collaboration with organized Western lobbies, uses the beauties of their own country as a tactic of propaganda and to deceive public opinion. I am not unfamiliar with this issue and I believe that we should be very sensitive and not allow FPC to be used to promote such material (although there are some exceptions that can also turn bad propaganda into good FP). To me, this particular image is just a view of a natural scene in which there is no contentious and irritating factor, so I do not consider Charles's argument valid here. -- IamMM (talk) 05:36, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Support at 2.6 cm (full-page size is bigger than that), these photos are sharp, but these photos are not sharp at 30% of full size. I know this is an odd question, but are they unnecessarily large? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment I always make full-size photos of each of the 5 views with a 6000x4000 px Camera. Mounted together they reach the given size. I don't like to downsize them afterwards even if there is a risk of some blurring. Everyone who wants to can downsize the photos as he likes to get more sharpness (As far as I know Wikimedians don't like downsized photos very much). The size of the picture also depends on the form of the valve, this one is photographed in the same way, but the form of the valve is quite different and so consequently also the format of the picture. --Llez (talk) 07:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry Llez, but I don't think these are among the finest shell photos. Perhaps these have proved especially hard to get all-in-focus but there's just too much of each shell that is out of focus and the in-focus bits are not sharp. I appreciate you don't like to downsize but at the same time, there is no point in offering more resolution than your lens captured. I have looked at a lot of your other high-resolution shell images, and they appear to have more detail. Further, compared to the other detailed and even colourful shells in our gallery, these are really very boring and plain. Not all subjects invoke wow, and I think, of all your shells, this one is absent wow. -- Colin (talk) 10:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

- You might find Commons:Photography terms#Perspective correction helpful. You are going to get diverging verticals if you point the camera "down" rather than level (just as people on the ground get converging verticals if they point their camera "up" to get the top of a church spire in the frame). But of course if you fly your drone high and point it level, you may get 50% sky. The correction that Lightroom has applied here doesn't fully "fix" the verticals, but doing so is likely to bring its own problems, as one ends up with the opposite problems of the viewpoint definitely being "downwards" and the proportions of buildings looking odd. As Benh says, some people looking at such images will find the effect of sloping verticals to be odd, and a compromise partial correction may help. There may be some advise on the web wrt drone photography about finding the balance between horizontal and downwards shots. -- Colin (talk) 11:17, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Support I quite like it. And there's nothing technically wrong with the diverging verticals. Cmao20 (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Support Any drone shot that does not include sky is so distorted that it needs no perspective correction. At some point the line between an upright view and a bird's eye view is blurred and it no longer makes sense to force everything to look like an upright view. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:55, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Support per Cmao20 and King of Hearts. --Aristeas (talk) 13:52, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment I think that a lot of people have agreed, and somewhat built consensus that trying to fix the vertical distortion can bring a lot of issues, and that no matter what, a birds eye view is going to have some distortion. I'm going to revert the upload with the lightroom distortion edits back to the original. Sea Cow (talk) 15:28, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Support per King. I think some day we're going to get to the point where drones can take pictures at a quality level equivalent to the current generation of DSLRs. And then we can quibble about the divergent verticals in this picture, or replace it with one where those can be and are corrected. But until then ... well, the straight verticals aren't really the subject of this image, are they? Daniel Case (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- Thank you for that! Aye, the Ricordi archives are a little bit... I want to say disorganised, but that's not quite right, but certainly unique in how they organise. Or maybe I'm just used to clicking to the catalogue record in Gallica for information about which performance a thing was attached to and, in fact, every archive is weird.

Neutral Hm. This frontal view at such a long distance does not quite work for me, there’s not depth left here. The animal’s nose seems to grow right out of its throat, I get no idea of the actual body dimensions. Looks somehow unintentionally funny to me.

Info This one's all about the bright contrasting colours on the three houses of otherwise-identical design. Hopefully you will find it interesting enough for FP. created by Tilman2007 - uploaded by Tilman2007 - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 19:44, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose No wow for me --Michielverbeek (talk) 20:24, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment I think there is some potential here, but: 1) the composition is too right-heavy, i.e. some of the left-hand side should be cropped out; and 2) the shadows at the bottom are distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:33, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Support This photo has also caught my eye before. I understand the critique, but when I look at it in full size, I am still very impressed by it. For me the beautiful light and colours just work. --Aristeas (talk) 07:54, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Certainly nice but the viewing angle is just too ordinary for me, too straightforward, to generate any wow. The lighting does not emphasise the "bright contrasting colours" meant by the author, instead it rather smoothens them. The cut-off adjacent building & tree make the framing look arbitrary. A wide-angle full frontal view with full light on the houses might work perfectly, as well as a steeper angle from the left from wider distance to get the three closer together. Something more … inspired than an angle that any walking-by tourist would choose, sorry. And yes, the shadows nail it for me too per KoH. --Kreuzschnabel 08:35, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment I think it could work with a tighter crop. See note. Daniel Case (talk) 19:20, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Comment: better, but still leaning to the right. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 14:54, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- @The Cosmonaut: It is quite difficult to improve the perspective correction, because these old buildings have imperfect verticals and it is impossible to get all of the verticals exactly vertical ;–). But … maybe we can get it a bit better. What would you think about this version? Just curious. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:05, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Aristeas, do feel free to overwrite my alt with a better one if you like. Cmao20 (talk) 13:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, Cmao20. But I am just not sure – because these buildings are old, no version looks perfect. What would you think about my attempt? Is it better or at least equal? --Aristeas (talk) 16:14, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- It seems like a pretty uncontroversial improvement to me, the verticals are as close to vertical as you're going to get. Cmao20 (talk) 16:18, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

- @Cmao20, The Cosmonaut, Ikan Kekek, Princess Rosalina, Daniel Case, Famberhorst, and Radomianin: Since The Cosmonaut has emphasized that the buildings (mostly the leftmost ones) are leaning to the right, I have tried to improve the perspective correction of the crop. As suggested by Cmao20, I have exchanged the image of this alternative nomination. Please check if this version is OK for you. Please note that it was not possible to get all verticals straight – these are old buildings which are not perfectly rectangular ;–). Thank you and sorry for the extra work. --Aristeas (talk) 18:37, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Support This is one I'm voting for. Sharp, beautiful and quite well-composed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:46, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek and many others: I agree with your assessment, and would add that looking to the category this shot is probably the one with the overall best quality/crop/detail (and on top of a very signifcant species), but please, let me give you some feedback about all you cannot see here (behind the scene). Stingrays or lionfishes are rare. The set nom of the lionfishes deals with the first lionfish I saw in my life after about 70 dives (I saw a few more afterwards in the same area, that's true). These 2 species are from dangerous to very dangerous. If you get stung by one of these guys your vacation is over, so you shouldn't get too close (getting things focused with e.g. a 100 mm lens uderwater can be really challenging, so I usually use my 15-35 mm, which means I have to get closer) and you'll not see them often. On the other side, clams don't raally move (if you get very close, they close, but that's it) and are no risk (as long as you don't introduce your hand in the clam :) ) so, as long as you hold the camera firmly and focus properly you'll get a sharp shot. Furthermore you find giant clams everywhere in the Red Sea, indeed I'll upload a few more examples to prove that. I just aim to say here, that those things are not visible at once but do play a very important role form the photographer point of view. --Poco a poco (talk) 16:40, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment Understood, but I didn't vote against the lionfish nomination, and my reason for opposing the stingray nom had nothing to do with sharpness. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:11, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Info Bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma), Temple, Sharm el-Sheikh, Red Sea, Egypt. It is a fairly small ray, not exceeding 35 cm (14 in) and known predators of the bluespotted ribbontail ray include hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops). Widespread in the nearshore waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific region, the bluespotted ribbontail ray has a range that extends around the periphery of the Indian Ocean from South Africa to the Arabian Peninsula to Southeast Asia. While timid and innocuous towards humans, the bluespotted ribbontail ray is capable of inflicting an excruciating wound with its venomous tail spines. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:14, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Thank you, Cmao20, I'm also curious and would really like to know how Karelj would have done it better. Do you have a suggestion? This species is a night hunter and therefore hide during the day in holes and/or camouflage under the sand, like you can see here. Poco a poco (talk) 13:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- OK, this is excelent example of camouflage and very good from this point. But the nomination of it as FP means, that this image will appear one day on main page of Commons. And try to imagine, what will be the reaction of Commons main page visitor on this image: Oh, this is terrible ...., do they really have nothing better to show people around? So I think, that it very good Quality image and I believe, it will be shown in many (all) wikipedia articles about Bluespotted ribbontail ray or Camouflage. And that is my reason for opposose voice in this FP nomination. -- Karelj (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to appear on the main page. We are promoting considerably more than 365 pictures a year so it's impossible for all FPs to appear on the main page. I respect your reasoning if you just don't think camouflage photos have sufficient wow-factor for FP, but accusing the photo of being 'very bad quality' was just untrue. Cmao20 (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose Per A. Savin. Daniel Case (talk) 20:00, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I agree. This is a valuable photo, but because of the true excellence of the ray's camouflage, there isn't that much to see here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:57, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Support In the preview it may look boring, but when I view this photo in full size I am excited to study how well the camouflage works. It’s impressive how an animal with such a showy outside (the blue dots) can hide so well. Only the eye looks vivid, very vidid. --Aristeas (talk) 08:42, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
Support I believe a "Wow" does not have to be shiny or colorful. For me it is one of those images that I might return to several times.

Info Common lionfish (Pterois miles), Temple, Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The common lionfish grows up to 35 cm (14 in) in length and is mainly nocturnal and hides in crevices during the daytime. It feeds on fish and small crustaceans and it has few predators, probably because of its venomous spines, but larger lionfish do prey on smaller ones. Its dorsal fin has 13 long strong spines that are highly venomous and have caused death to humans in some reported cases. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:59, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Comment I have trouble evaluating underwater photos a lot of the time, because I don't know how much focus to expect for an FP. That said, my reaction is that I'm unconvinced either photo is an FP, and the goldfish with blue eyes somewhat steal the show in the first picture, with the one right next to and partly overlapping with some of the lionfish's spines problematic for the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:45, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: I've nominated these images because they are very sharp (I've taken something like 50.000 pictures underwater) and in addition we are here talking about one of the most venomous fishes, so you don't want to get too close to it.

Oppose As others note, as an image these aren't great. I think we may be confusing VI or something about collecting an ok image of a species, with FP, which is supposed to make the viewer go wow. We have wow photos in this category. The top view is a particularly weak image. Possibly these would work better as moving images, where subject isolation is achieved through movement. -- Colin (talk) 19:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Support I understand the reservations, but the background unsharpness doesn’t bother me. The slight softness of the main subject (the castle) may be explained by noise reduction (ISO 1,600). Of course a tripod shot with base ISO value and f/8 or so would have been crisper, but the photographer did his best to get a good shot even without a tripod, and the light and the composition are very good. --Aristeas (talk) 07:56, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose several overexposed areas, lacks of fine details unsuccessfully compensed by sharpening (=oversharpening).

Question Striking photo, good quality for a smartphone shot. Because this photo documents an ongoing war, I would like to know a bit more about it before voting. According to this discussion, the photo shows Belarusians fighting for the Ukraine/Ukrainian army, maybe belonging to the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Battalion (the photo is used in the article on that battalion, but the men in the photo have different insignia with different text, so I am not sure). Could somebody who understands Ukrainian and/or Belarusian and therefore can read some more sources tell us whether this seems plausible or not? And then please add a short English description to the photo explaining it? Thank you very much! (Don’t get me wrong! If the information is true, I admire the heroism of these men! But in every war there are also propaganda, disinformation and false-flag operations, therefore I am a bit cautious.) --Aristeas (talk) 10:03, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- To answer a small part of my own question: The lower badge on the right upper arm of the leftmost soldier shows the sign (double cross) and the name of the Young Front (Малады Фронт); according to the article, this soldier is Dzyanis Urbanovich which is also chairman of the Youth Front.

Comment I've been staring at this for a while now, feeling that something was off about the contrast. I was not sure what it was, and I still am not 100% certain. Looking at the original helped a bit though. The original is a very high contrast image, where large parts of the subject are quite dark due to the direction of the sun relative to the ship. In the retouched version, the shadows have been brightened a bit, making things a bit more visible. But somehow, my brain refuses to find this realistic or credible, possibly because there is still so much evidence for hard shadows around. Given that brightening the shadows did not actually reveal anything new in the image, I'd very much prefer the unaltered original (minus the dust spots). However, I'd still not vote for it, because in my opinion, it is not a particularly stunning photograph to start with. --El Grafo (talk) 12:49, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Info The ruby-crowned kinglet is one of the smallest birds in the world (other than hummingbirds). It's also constantly moving, making a sharp photo really difficult. They're migratory birds here in New York, though not particularly rare, so I've made hundreds of attempts, and this is the first one I think may be worthy of FP. Where is the ruby crown, you ask? Unfortunately, RCKs rarely show their crown, unlike some other species in their family. You can get a glimpse of the ruby in this other photo of the same bird. all by — Rhododendrites talk | 21:32, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Neutral Nice but definitely not your best shot. Sharpness is good, not extraordinary, the bokeh is pretty annoying with those halos, the shadow on the bird is not a plus either. Poco a poco (talk) 18:31, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Weak oppose Even given that I'm looking at this on Easter, I still can't get to support. It's a pretty image alright, but I don't see it as FP because of a) Poco's points, b) the unbalanced feel of the composition and c) the shadow across the bird's back. Daniel Case (talk) 15:56, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Support The whole scene is what I'd call "sublime". Composition works well (yes, a tighter crop on the right might be something worth looking into, but I trust Rhododendrites to have tried this; also: the more blue on the right can remain, the nicer the contrast with the yellow of the feathers), colors look good (thanks for keeping this natural-looking and not following the current trend of boosting colors)… and all of that together feels more important to me than the fact that the shadow is where the shadow is in this image. In my opinion, this totally deserves being featured. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:28, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I went back and forth about the crop, and erred on the side of more space. I'm not opposed to a slight right crop (probably with an even slighter top/bottom crop) based on feedback here. I'll wait to see if there are more opinions about that before moving forward, though, given there's already some support. — Rhododendrites talk | 03:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Taking the photo in its totality, I don't see anyplace to crop that would improve the picture. If you crop the bottom closer, which was the main thing I was considering, you'd delete the branch on the lower left that helps the composition. And there isn't really that much room on the right. I suppose you could crop in slightly on the right, but it hardly seems necessary. The composition is very harmonious to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:20, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Rhododendrites, I think you're right. After looking at the image again, I'd not crop it either. I know how difficult it is to photograph small birds, so this is quite impressive the way it is! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 14:55, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
Support according to Frank's convincing commentary. Please do not crop, it would be a loss for the overall composition. Besides, imho, shadow is usually a compositional means of depicting depth. It creates three-dimensionality and plasticity. -- Radomianin (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose Domestic animal partially hidden, nothing special. Yann (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The picture is fine but not outstanding, I like the goat's expression but it's partly hidden by grass and weeds, and the background is quite unattractive with the wire fencing.

Oppose per others. Nice snapshot but not more than that. Agree fully with Cmao20, plus the centered composition is boring here, fur is partly overexposed, overall poor quality, xtra-low resolution.

Info Male Speckled sandperch (Parapercis hexophtalma), Ras Katy, Sharm el-Sheikh, Red Sea, Egypt. It's a species of marine bony fish that grows to a length of around 28 cm (11 in) and is found in shallow waters on the east coast of Africa as far south as Natal, the Red Sea and the western Indo-Pacific. Like other members of the family Pinguipedidae are protogynous hermaphrodites, starting their adult life as females and changing sex to males later. Not only do the fish change sex, but they also change their markings at the same time. Male fish are territorial and defend a harem of females. We have yet no FP of this order. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:33, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

- It is a houseboat,
- Whatever it is, this building is just blurry and dark. There's no metadata on the file page, but I assume the depth of field was too narrow. With a tripod, making this part sharp is easy -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:23, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment Since the long ratio is being talked about, I must admit that I did think about cropping the image but decided against it because it beautifully captures the magic of Srinagar, be it the different profiles of the anchored Houseboats, the purely navigational—as well as the vegetable seller's—shikaras, the rare uninterrupted view of distant snow clad Pir Panjals, or the Hari Parbat hill and the fort atop it. It has everything, so I just couldn't crop! --UnpetitproleX (talk) 01:05, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Neutral I see the arguments on both sides here. I like the composition, but I don't like the long ratio and I'm feeling the same as Basile here. --SHB2000 (talk) 03:31, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Support. I don't understand all of the categorization, though. There's one kind of butterfly on one flower, right? So how is it both Melitaea on Fabales flowers and Nymphalidae on Trifolium flowers? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Melitaea is a genus in the family Nymphalidae and Trifolium is a genus in the order Fabales. If we had a category for Melitaea on Trifolium that could replace the two, or if we didn't have any genus-based categories like this, we could just have Nymphalidae on Fabales, but with the current categories it's just about getting to the narrowest cross-categorizations we have. — Rhododendrites talk | 02:57, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- I don't understand. Aren't the two butterflies from the same species? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:03, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, they are. It's like one category is about dogs in Ferraris and the other is about beagles in cars, when the picture shows two beagles in a Ferrari. The butterflies are both the same and in the hierarchical scheme of taxonomy belong to Order: Lepidoptera > [...] > Family: Nymphalidae > [...] > Genus: Melitaea > Species: Melitaea cinxia. The plant is Order: Fabales > [...] > Genus: Trifolium > Species: Trifolium pratense. Now, we have categories for all those different levels of taxonomy for both the butterfly and the plant, but we don't have intersecting categories for them at all levels. We have this genus of butterfly on this order of plant, or this family of butterfly on this genus of plant, but we currently to not have this species of butterfly on this species of plant (beagles in Ferraris). --El Grafo (talk) 08:29, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Info A northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) striking a pose. Mockingbirds are famously aggressive in defending their nests, and this is a "tail up" warning sign that I may have tread too close (unbeknownst to me). all by — Rhododendrites talk | 23:33, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Support — Rhododendrites talk | 23:33, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Support Excellent. Yeah, I've heard that male mockingbirds can attack people. Have you ever had a problem with one? I have not. I look at them, they sometimes look at me, but I stand still and don't do anything that makes them feel threatened, apparently. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- I've had them swoop down on me a few times. There was one that made its nest by a Starbucks parking lot where I lived years ago, and it would regularly swoop down on people going between their cars and the door. I've never seen them make contact with a human, though -- more like a divebomb that pulls up at the last minute. They're pretty fearless, though. I regularly see them going after hawks, chasing them away, repeatedly going in to grab some feathers, etc. The hawk is usually pretty unphased, but it's got to be annoying. The only time I wasn't sure if a bird might actually get me was this least tern. There was one little strip of beach open for walking between two protected areas, and it must've built its nest right near the edge, because when people would walk through (including me), it would fly high, circle around, then from maybe 30' away and 20' high, dive straight at me. It would do that, and then hover maybe 10' directly over my head, yelling at me, and did it over and over. I snapped that picture while it was hovering, then went on my way. What I didn't realize then was the reason they hover is because after divebombing, they defecate on the predator/intruder. If it was doing that, it must not have accounted for the wind, because I came out unscathed. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 03:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
