A more natural post-processing would get my support. -- Colin (talk) 11:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

- Info Ever since I shot this photo, it has grown on me. The planking provides a very good, neutral but interesting background for the shoes. For me it is sort of a relaxed, scruffy-looking, 'yin-yang' complement to this FP. The photo is not staged, the man was quite surprised and amused when he saw that I was taking a photo of his shoes.

- Oppose Casual shot. I fail to see it fitting among other pictures of this category. They look much more extraordinary. -- Pofka (talk) 15:05, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I quite like having such generic and useful images on Commons, but as for FP I'm not really seeing any particular wow factor.--Peulle (talk) 16:17, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Peulle. Very well stated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Support First, although those are Timberlands, they look similar enough to my own black Eccos that this could well be my feet in the wintertime (at this time of the year they are often likely to be bare, in contrast). Second, I like the internal yin-yang of this picture: the black boots, a little sandy, against the clean-looking planking. Third, we don't have a lot of FPs of clothing or footwear to begin with. Fourth and last, I like the idea of a picture of black boots that doesn't evoke fascism. Daniel Case (talk) 23:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

- Info all by User:Peulle. The cairn was built as a daymark just outside Risør, Norway in 1898, and in 1979 a round-light lantern was added. The solar panel was added on later to ensure power to the lantern battery year round. At the time the cairn was built, Risør was an important port town in the south of Norway, and the cairn was part of the work of marking local rocks in the skerries. Beyond it is the east fjord, one of the two shipping lanes leading out to sea from the town. The open ocean can be seen in the distance. -- Peulle (talk) 16:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Support -- Peulle (talk) 16:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Living between two fjords as I do, I know just how dang hard it is to capture their grandeur in a photo, you just end up with a lot or nice but uninteresting water. The cairn is too small and dark in the photo to make the scene interesting. If only the sky had put on a show, things might have been different. Sorry. --cart-Talk 16:46, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

- Weak support I would like to see if the purple fringing can be cleaned up a little more than it may already have been. Daniel Case (talk) 17:18, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose This is a weak composition and weak technically -exposure, sharpness etc, Dof (F5.6) etc. Charles (talk) 19:26, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Charles what does you mean by composition, technically, ... critic. It seems you are an ambitious photographer and your critics maybe can help getting better. The composition was chosen to give the tiger space in front of him and preserve a rule-of-third. The left eye at the crossing of the most left and upper third. A tighter crop would have chopped of his leg or leave a small green frame which doesn't look good either. Without space underneath his paw the lake would not be complete. Exposure was 1/500s to get the waterdrops sharp and ISO 200 to reduce noise as much as possible. The lens was at 200mm with a 2x converter, together 400mm with widest aperture at 5.4 giving smallest possible dof. It reaches from ear to ear, keeping the background out. Point of focus left eye. The picture appears as sharp as a Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 can be with exact focusing, even in a 100% zoom. I don't know which point I missed in your critic and hope you can help me. Alexander Leisser (talk) 10:13, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Everything is a matter of opinion and sorry if I was too abrupt. The basic idea is OK, but the water masks the face unfortunately. Also, I think the crop is too tight for this type of image. The sharpness problem comes from 1/500 sec - far too slow to freeze the water and paw and the F number is too small for good DoF with the lens used. Also, I think we need to see an animal's eye.

- Weak support I was skeptical about supporting this at first because it looked quite random picture, however if something like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tokyo_Metro_and_JR_East_at_Ochanomizu,_Tokyo.jpg can be FP, then probably this one may join the club too. Colors look quite extraordinary and playful here. -- Pofka (talk) 18:58, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose While I agree that we should consider images like this one and not dismiss them out of hand, that other photo is in a different class, IMO. There's more going on and more of a skyline imagery. This one would have to be really really good to impress me, and it's not really doing it. There's quite a lot of chroma noise, the composition is a bit tight on both sides and the light is not really great either. In summary: I must oppose.--Peulle (talk) 20:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose as per Peulle. Daphne Lantier 20:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment I think the church needs perspective correction; otherwise, the image is comopositionally striking and of high quality.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:46, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Too dark (for 15:50 July). The grass shouldn't be that colour in daylight I think. Either under-exposed or badly processed. Could do with being saved with an embedded colour profile too. Wrt the "perspective correction", I don't think this is going to be possible as the photo was shot too close to the church and the resulting distortion would be too much. I don't think, even with light-level fixes, this is comparable with FP level for churches. -- Colin (talk) 16:57, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Obviously too dark and unnatural. I think the image wasn't edited in Lightroom or Photoshop yet and still has that ugly darkness which sometimes happens when you are photographing with Nikon DSLR in sunlight. If it was captured in RAW, then I think it can be easily solved. For now complete oppose. -- Pofka (talk) 19:11, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose as per others. Daphne Lantier 19:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info San Giuseppe dei Teatini is a church in the Sicilian city of Palermo. It is located near the Quattro Canti, and is considered one of the most outstanding examples of the Sicilian Baroque in Palermo. The church was built at the beginning of the 17th century by Giacomo Besio, a Genoese member of the Theatines order. It has a majestic though simple façade. In the centre niche is housed a state of San Gaetano, founder of the Theatines order. Another striking feature is the large dome with a blue and yellow majolica covering. P.s. The Roof lantern is white non overexposed. All by LivioAndronico (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Colin's work is a truly great photograph that we should appreciate accordingly. A couple of weeks ago I expressed the hope (in our group on facebook) that FPC has become much more open to unconventional yet great motifs. So please do prove me right. Btw., two years ago critics pointed out that there would be no possible encyclopedic value - they were proven wrong.

StrongOppose There is nothing more than just a valued image of the photographic effect for me here. Photographs similarly to paintings are supposed to be works of art that have to allow engaging in deep thinking and enjoying while staring at, while this heavily manipulated one makes pain for the eyes in few seconds and does not allow one to concentrate on what is there and what it has to mean. I even think that the original one would be a much better candidate.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:32, 1 August 2017 (UTC)- Kiril, I'm sorry you don't enjoy it, and it causes you "pain for the eyes" but it is not "manipulated". File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg is "manipulated", and it's a POTY. The above image gives an impression of a bluebell wood in England. That's a valid form of representation imo, though not a common one. At another extreme of photography is File:Army Athletics Long Jumper at The Inter Corps Athletics Competition at Tidworth, Wiltshire MOD 45152793 (cropped).jpg, which gives the 1/6000th second moment a long jumper lands in the sand. It isn't "real" either, because sand doesn't stay absolutely still suspended in the air. It is an effect only possibly with high-speed photography, not human vision, and at one level is just a mess of sand getting in the way of seeing the athlete. -- Colin (talk) 13:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Colin: I praise the effort to create an unusual work of art from a photograph, but I'm sorry to say that this does not work for me at least for an FP (perfect valued image, though). As for the manipulation, most of the FPs we have here are manipulated in some way and no-one has a standardised definition of what "manipulation" stands for. For me personally, the combining of multiple images to produce unrealistic effects is "cheating", while altering a photograph that makes it difficulty to spot the composition normally is "manipulation". I also don't think this term should be taken in a negative connotation, as it is a normal thing done on photographs in the lust of creating something special or of higher quality. Regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:48, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Kiril, I have neither "combin[ed] multiple images" nor have I "alter[ed] a photograph". I pressed the shutter while moving the camera. Other photos are taken by pressing the shutter while the subject moves. Any processing was no different to that for a standard image. Only a single image here. I'm not sure you appreciate that the 1/6000th second photo of the athlete is no more "manipulated" or "cheating" than this. Just different ways of observing the world through a camera. See en:Photo manipulation -- this is not that. -- Colin (talk) 14:35, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

- Support Daphne Lantier 07:29, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- weak oppose The sculpture is compelling, not sure about this photograph though. There is possibly a vignette applied to the image, which helps "pull one in" to the faces but then one can't actually see Psyche's face, just a nose. Compare File:Psyche revived by the kiss of Love, Louvre 14 September 2009 003.jpg where we can see she is looking into his eyes -- surely that's essential for a close-up of this scene. Btw, the full sculpture looks like File:Psyché ranimée par le baiser de l'Amour.jpg. I think the best crop shows the embrace of both figures such as File:Amor-Psyche-Canova-JBU04.JPG. I don't think the landscape orientation is helpful here and the figures are positioned with Cupid's eye in the centre (perhaps cause that's where the focus point of the camera was) rather than framing a little lower and more to the right. As a plus, the image is sharp, and retains detail on the stone, and avoids any distractions in the background (which isn't easy). I also like the soft tones, because too many photos like this are ruined by applying lots of "Clarity". -- Colin (talk) 07:35, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Support I hear you, Colin, but I share Ikan's point of view ---Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:12, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Support This angle and crop is designed to capture a moment rather than a statue. The shot creates a tension and makes it sensual, intimate, almost erotic. Sure, we can't see Psyche's face, but her exposed throat and arms up in surrender to love, shows how vulnerable she is at this moment. Just picture Google "woman with head back" for comparison. --cart-Talk 09:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Cart I tried your Google, but mostly I still see a face in each image, rather than a neck and nose. I agree with all the qualities you describe, but feel they come from the statue, which is great, rather than this composition, which seems created by holding the camera in the standard orientation aimed at Cupid's eye. I understand the point of cropping, but they are embracing, so I'd like to see his arm to complete the embrace, rather than a bit of wing. I'll change to "weak oppose" because it is a good quality photo of this statue, and it isn't as boring as many of our statue FPs. But if you're going to crop, the composition/orientation is the point, and I don't think it is quite right here. We've got a 3:2 horizontal image because that's what the camera makes when you hold it normally rather than a crop that is based on the subject. Why all the space on the left? I'm just itching to turn the camera vertically. -- Colin (talk) 09:44, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

- Info The minaret of Friday Mosque as seen from Nizwa Fort, Nizwa, Oman. This picture grew on me over the time. First I was a bit disappointed that the sky was rather misty. But misty skies are actually to be expected when visiting an oasis town in the middle of the dessert surrounded by mountains. So now I really appreciate the "One Thousand and One Nights" feeling the image conveys to me with everything from the parapet to the minaret.

- Support The mist actually works for the image here, bringing out the minaret better. --cart-Talk 11:17, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support per Ikan and cart. Doesn't seem like it should work, and indeed it's almost oversharpened, but as a result the background detail is sharp enough to not use "unsharp background" as a reason for opposing, and frankly the minaret is just the right amount off center. (I also like that roof, so much like Qusayr Amra in Jordan ... wonder what the shared architectural influence might have been, as I don't think the Sassanids got that far south. And what's that museum in Dallas with the similar roof ... my dad noticed that right when we got to Qusayr Amra, and wondered if that had been the inspiration).

- Oppose Too much random trees everywhere covering the main subject (church). Half of the cut tree in the right hidden in shadow made the decision clear for me. It might work if not that dark tree, though. Sadly, it is obvious that cropping it is not possible here as it would also damage the church. -- Pofka (talk) 19:05, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose as per Pofka. Daphne Lantier 19:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The composition is a bit unfortunate with those trees but I might have been able to forgive that (since it's part of the actual scenery) if everything else was great. Sadly, it's not. The light is very pleasant, but the level of detail on the building is low. Also, as a tip to the photographer: before nominating something for FP, try to really check the image so it's as good as you can make it. Why am I saying that? Well, take a look at the lower left corner and you'll know what I mean ... --Peulle (talk) 20:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose In addition to the trees, I also find the steeple wanting ... it's overexposed on the right and purple-fringed on the left. Daniel Case (talk) 04:24, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

- Thanks Ikan for the comment, exactly that's the problem: as you can see in the file history, there is a former version with more space on the right. However, there was another horse in the blurred back which someone could consider a nervous background. I'm not sure what's your opinion but I decided to crop it out. What do you think? --Basotxerri (talk) 20:50, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- I agree that the previous version was worse because the background was bad. I'll make a decision about this photo and post it later. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

- Support I was on the fence about this one because of the tight cut before. I don't mind removing the other horse, they are not permanent fixtures and it was such a small part of the photo.

Especially since here it is a "lady" and that for this family the females are much rarer than the male. When one has the chance to find them they are not always in very good condition which is a little the case of this specimen. Thanks to Peulle --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:14, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info Yazd Atash Behram (in English "Yazd Victorious Fire"), a Zoroastrian temple located in Yazd, Iran. It was built in 1934 and was open to non-Zoroastrian visitors in the 1960s. It is one of the nine Atash Behrams, the only one of the highest grade fire in Iran where Zoroastrians have practiced their religion since 400 BC; the other eight Atash Behrams are in India.

- Oppose Flat lighting on most of the scene (or else you've lifted the shadows too much) means the mountains are all middle-grey. I'm not seeing the exceptional light from our FP natural scenes like this. And nor is there exceptional detail -- the image is really soft and especially so in the corners. I have to downsize considerably to get a sharp image. I think Wolfgang Moroder, you should get that lens fixed, as your camera is capable of so much better image quality. -- Colin (talk) 17:02, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

- I don't know that much about the past "black" discussion, but the photographer explained about the lighting of these photos on another nom. This isn't black cutout, it's just dark. You can even see a bit of green in some places. It's not that hard to get an almost black background even in a natural environment. Even a totally inexperienced "wildlife" photographer as myself managed to get very dark backgrounds in some photos taken on an extremely sunny day and no flash, simply because the flowers grew out from under some bushes.

- Bubalus bubalis is apparently less aggressive than its African cousin. Needless to say, however, a one-ton beast is certainly not something I'd try to anger. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:06, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- What I meant was that this is not a photo taken from 500 yards away with a 600 mm lens, showing a cheetah at full sprint or something that may require cropping; it's a photo of a buffalo standing fairly still, taken at fairly close range. It seems to me that the only reason for the downscaling of this image was to make it appear better and sharper, which we should not do.--Peulle (talk) 15:45, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- I really don't know how wild kerbau (to use the Malay word, which I think is the same or almost the same in Indonesian) behave, but domesticated ones are very docile and slow-moving.

- The regular waves is what pushes this photo over the FP-line, IMO. They occurred only two times (a freak wind or something) in the twenty-something photos I took and the guy had the best pose in this.

- Comment This is much better than this one and has some artistic value, but I am still unsure whether we should allow featuring manipulated photographs in a such way. It is also difficult for me to decide whether this should be evaluated as a photograph or as a painting.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:46, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment It's definetely a photograph if the latter's defined as a "process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (such as film or an optical sensor)." I wouldn't even say it's that much "manipulated". I merely panned the image vertically during an exposure time of 1/5s. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Kiril See my comment on the Bluebells ICM. It isn't "manipulated" in the sense people mean here (post processing). All photographs are a manipulation of time. Whether 1/6000th second or 1/2 second or 30 seconds. Only photography can choose to freeze a brief moment in time, if one wishes to. Reality is continuous. It should be evaluated as a photograph, just don't think so conservatively about what a photograph is. -- Colin (talk) 13:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Colin: I'm fine with the "manipulation" if it results into something interesting. In this case, the thing is that this looks nice to me compositionally as a work of art that fits good to my eyes regardless of whether it is a photograph or painting. However, I'd like to make sure that this is something that we allow for FP. I agree with you that my definition for a photograph is a bit conservative and that's probably another factor for my hesitancy about such innovative works.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 14:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- I think it is wrong, and unfair, of you to use the term "manipulation". See en:Photo manipulation. No manipulation here. Just pressing the shutter. -- Colin (talk) 14:39, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- My intent was not to be unfair to you or anyone else here and I explained that the term "manipulation" does not have any negative meaning in my comment bellow. I may be wrong about using the term for this but I assure you that it wasn't supposed to be something derogatory.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:41, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment When I made this nom, no one questioned if it was a photograph. Motion is relative, in one photo the subject is moving and in another it is the camera. They both result in an unusual photo. --cart-Talk 13:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

- Regretful oppose Might definitely be catchy in an art gallery, but I think not here or not in this category. If we will fill the "Natural" category with FPs like this, then I think we will start destroying what this community has already created. In my eyes, pictures like this should have their own category and doesn't fit among clear pictures we currently have. And yes, I really like it and would absolutely buy a ticket to the exhibition filled with such mystical works of art. Thanks for some pleasure therapy to my eyes as this one clearly is pleasant and not something painful for sight as we recently had in another nomination. -- Pofka (talk) 19:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support - Surprising, and particularly compelling to me at full size. And as with the other nomination, I don't think questions about what category to feature the photo in are good arguments against a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:54, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- +1. If people are iffy about putting this photo together with the rest of the pics in 'Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural', I don't see why we can't add a sub cat at the bottom named 'Other' (Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural#Other).

But as I say this only my personal opinion I love about 95% of FP pictures in fact I love the 4 examples that you selected, I found in the examples lines and shapes very well defined and a nice light distribution my soul finds joy on this pictures I am sorry I don't feel the same about your picture, please don't get offended by my totally subjective personal opinion on a type of picture I don´t know how to describe this, so I choose the expression “too abstract” but only as an intent to express my personal feelings, best regards --Cvmontuy (talk) 18:32, 4 August 2017 (UTC).

- Comment Great scene but some perspective correction is needed; the buildings are leaning out on both sides.--Peulle (talk) 13:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Btw, Peulle, "perspective correction" is not possible here. The camera is clearly "looking down" and that's what you get when you look down. Perspective "correction" can only really give the illusion that one was looking straight ahead provided the deviation isn't huge and that the resulting vertical angle-of-view isn't absurd. -- Colin (talk) 19:47, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- You would be right if the shot was a typical bird-s eye view, but even looking at the buildings directly ahead (other side of the bay), they're also leaning. --Peulle (talk) 10:51, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Interesting event but the composition isn't great (fine for an opening shot on a video where we zoom in on the detail).

- Oppose - I understand what you are portraying, but I have two problems with this photo: (1) Composition. The idea is good, but one of the two men on the right is partially cropped out and you have a tiny bit of metal fence (I guess) on the left. These distract the viewer (or this one, anyway) and detract from the main point you are making, which is to see the marina between the trees. (2) Sharpness, though it's a really large picture, so I don't think I'd oppose if I were perfectly satisfied with the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:02, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I've looked at this for a while, and played around with different crops. But I can't really get the composition to work for me. I'm guessing from the lack of lens EXIF that you're using perhaps a manual focus fisheye or ultra wide. My fisheye is pretty sharp so am puzzled why only the central rock is sharp and the land on either side is very soft. Did you apply a lens correction that has stretched the edges? Or perhaps your 10-stop ND filter isn't so good at the edges? The focal point becomes the sharp rock in the water and it just isn't that interesting or well lit for me. The sky isn't the best sunset potential either. -- Colin (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
- Info I was using a manual focus ultra wide (12mm) lens and it was a conscious choice to focus on the central rock (approximately 1 meter from the camera). So only the rock is in focus. The background is just out of focus. No lens correction (except for removing CA and reduce vignetting).

- There is some slight colour fringing because the line scan camera I'm using actually has two lines, one with alternating red and green pixels and one with alternating green and blue pixels. It is possible to digitally correct for this offset, but I haven't implemented this yet since this is my first day shooting with this camera. Perhaps in the next few weeks I will write a program to do it. In any case, the effect is very minor in this photo. Another limitation of this technique is that this is essentially a high speed camera; each column of pixels has a very short exposure time. As such, the photo may be slightly noisy. dllu (t,c) 07:17, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment I never heard of this technique before. Can you explain why the background and foreground have a bunch of lines and the streetcar doesn't? PumpkinSky talk 11:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- The best way to understand how strip photography works is to imagine that you are standing with your camera in a fixed position behind a door that is only open a very small crack. You rapidly take photos of what you can see through the crack from that point of view. At first nothing happens so your photos will all be a very thin vertical line that looks the same in each frame. Then something, a streetcar, passes by the crack and you get a small piece of the vehicle in each of your photos. When it has passed by the opening, the scene may go back to what it was before and once again all the photos you take of the crack will look the same. After shooting this sequence, you take all the photos and crop away all the black around the crack in the doorway, leaving you with lots of photos of just the crack and you paste them side by side in chronological order. As you do this a photo of the streetcar as it passed the crack will start to appear. If you were taking photos at the same time-interval during the shooting session and the car moved at a constant speed, you'd end up with a photo like the one here. Imagine if the car had slowed down, then you would have got more photos with it in the crack towards the end of the session and the back of it would have been sort of "drawn out". And if it had stopped in front of the crack all your photos until the end of the session would have had a bit of streetcar in them that looked the same until the end. Now this is done with a special camera that shoots only a slit that is two pixels wide and the photos are taken in an automatic fashion to make sure the time between shots is the same and the shots are merged into a photo with software, but the principle is the same as photographing through a crack in the doorway.
- All this said, it would be very useful if the creator of this photo could mention in the description on the file's page, what camera and/or gadgets plus software (and the usual facts about camera settings) were use to make this photo since there is no EXIF on this photo. --cart-Talk 15:39, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Question - That's a super-helpful description. But why does that create these particular colors of stripes for the street? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:57, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- The streets are just colorful. If you look at the Google Street View, you'll see that one of the lanes is painted red, and the background is a reddish brick building. dllu (t,c) 20:15, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. And the grays become blue. I'll Support out of sheer novelty. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:56, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Follow up question out of sheer curiosity: After looking very carefully at the photo, I noticed that the lines on the right side of the streetcar are a bit wobbly. Is this the ground shaking from the passing streetcar or did you accidentally record a small earthquake? Or is it just heat turbulence in the air after the car? --cart-Talk 22:06, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- The ground shook slightly after the streetcar passed by. I could feel it with my feet also. dllu (t,c) 22:48, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- @W.carter: Excellent description. If you didn't have a special camera it'd be a lot of work. So it's sort of like what you do to get a sharp photo of an athelete in motion, which makes the background blurry? PumpkinSky talk 21:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support I'm suporting becaue the streetcar is pretty sharp and the novelty of the photo. PumpkinSky talk 21:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- @PumpkinSky: Yes, strip photography is often used for photo finishes. It is different from panning though. Most regular video cameras don't have sufficient framerate for this type of photo. For example, most video cameras do 24 to 60 frames per second whereas this type of photo requires around 2000 frames per second (the fast-moving cable car took only a few seconds to pass by). Prior to digital line scan cameras, this type of photo was made using a film slit scan camera, such as [1], for which it's possible to use a wider slit as long as you move the film to match the speed of the subject exactly. dllu (t,c) 21:41, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

The near-centering of the post is no issue to me at all, but I feel like I'd enjoy seeing a little more of the uppermost cord and the top of the tree at the extreme right.

- Info The three tallest buildings in Canada and some historic interesting historic skyscrapers. The photo is taken from the intersection of Bay Street and King Street West. The intersection of Bay and King Street is often seen as the centre of Canadian banking and finance. Four of Canada's five major banks have office towers at the intersection. I like the composition but also how the images tell a story about 20th century skyscrapers and architecture. From fine Art Deco (Commerce Court North built 1933 and the the tallest building in the British Empire/Commonwealth for roughly three decades) to great examples of International style (Toronto-Dominion Towers from 1967) and Postmodernism (Scotia Plaza from 1988).

Over-all, it appears to a bit on the dark side, maybe try to bring the lettering a bit closer to actual white? Aesthetics-wise, I think it could look better/more balanced with the 3rd image moved to the far left so that the front and back view are framed by the side views. --El Grafo (talk) 09:52, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info The Parish Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo (Italian: Basilica Parrocchiale Santa Maria del Popolo) is a titular church and a minor basilica in Rome run by the Augustinian order. It stands on the north side of Piazza del Popolo, one of the most famous squares in the city. The church is hemmed in between the Pincian Hill and Porta del Popolo, one of the gates in the Aurelian Wall as well as the starting point of Via Flaminia, the most important route from the north. Its location made the basilica the first church for the majority of travellers entering the city. The church contains works by several famous artists, such as Raphael, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Caravaggio, Alessandro Algardi, Pinturicchio, Andrea Bregno, Guillaume de Marcillat and Donato Bramante.

- Of course you do, Livio. There isn't a single photo at FPC that hasn't got some NR. But you use NR and Clarity like a tart uses foundation and lipstick. No subtlety whatsoever. -- Colin (talk) 21:41, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- I certainly did not use it ... do you have any evidence? Besides the tarts? Daphne Lantier,PumpkinSky or Blackcat what do you think?--LivioAndronico (talk) 22:04, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- If you had any concept of what a raw photo looks like out-of-camera, you wouldn't make such foolish claims. -- Colin (talk) 07:33, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

sSwitched to neutral as I explain below I reckon that probably for a professional photograph contest it might not be fit; but apart some exception none of us is a professional photographer and we may consider it safely a featured photograph. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 22:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
PS I learnt a new term, didn't know that what we call fondotinta is called foundation in English. But you don't need to be a tart to massively use foundation- Comment Above vote canvassed from favourable Admim. Blackcat your only contributions to FP have been to support Livio when he calls you. This is very unwise for anyone, and doubly unwise for an admin. I suggest you acquaint yourself with the extensive FP work of amateur photographers such as Poco a Poco, Code and Diliff, to name just three, before suggesting we should lower the bar for your wiki friends. I strongly advise you, Blackcat, to strike out your vote, and remind your fiend that canvassing at FPC is taken very dimly indeed. -- Colin (talk) 07:33, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- I am a regular uploader of original photographs myself but my photographs' quality cannot be compared to the ones I see in the FP contest. I think that maybe a photograph of mine would lower the bar, not this. As for voting, you're unfair to me: do you think that I express a vote just because canvassed into a FPC? -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 08:17, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
- Yes. And not only "expressed a vote", but "expressed a support vote" because you were canvassed. Your record at FPC is clear.Your bias for Livio is also very much on-record both at FPC and as an admin. We're not here to judge images as "It's better than I could do" but "Is it among the finest on Commons". A quick glance at the contributions from those names I mentioned above would assure you that the answer is "No, not by a long way". -- Colin (talk) 08:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Maybe you gave the pic too much brightness. I thought it was taken around midday which could have justified all that light. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 15:49, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

If you shot this scene again in stronger light, I might react differently, but I'd have to see the result.

- Oppose per tight crop as KoH noted last time. Distracting background makes for a cluttered base -- some subjects are just handicapped by this and nothing you can do but accept it is just a QI. Also agree that the reason for renomination isn't valid -- no wow is often expressed as no vote, and that should generally be respected. My bluebell photo was renominated (by a different person) for the reason that they believed the community view on such images had changed in two years (but didn't appear to as it turned out), not just because we were unhappy with the lack of votes or disagreed with the result. -- Colin (talk) 11:41, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I've looked at the other contents of the Category and it seems you've put a lot of thought into this. It might well be the best image we have of this monument, but that alone doesn't warrant the star for me. As Colin pointed out above, sometimes the surroundings of an interesting subject simply prevent taking a picture of it that's astonishing rather than "just" very good. Might be worth giving it a try over at VIC, though. --El Grafo (talk) 08:18, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

The exterior doesn't give an idea of the beauty of the interior, with a large central nave, which is profusely decorated with gold leaf, gilded plaster and wood carvings, making of it the most ornate church in Quito.

- I agree that the coordinates seem a little off. They were obtained from the camera's exif since this is a Commons newbie and this is the user's only upload, so not used to our forms and templates here. I have left a message on their talk page with a question about the coords. In the meantime I have at least moved the geotag down to the lake shore. --cart-Talk 07:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- I have to say that I have the same problem with the built-in GPS receiver of my camera (DSLR). On most photos, I have to adjust the geocode afterwards. About 5-10% show completely wrong (!) geocode and/or altitude. In general, I wouldn't rely on camera GPS and "wait for the bot" :) --A.Savin 11:42, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment - Am I the only viewer who doesn't love this or see it as an obvious FP? What I see is that in significant parts of the picture, such as the background toward the upper left, the trees are too white. HalfGig could be right that some of the others are oversaturated, but it's the undersaturation that's bothering me. And in terms of composition, I feel like the movement is too much to the right with no countervailing movement to the left, so I question whether this particular view is well-chosen. Sure, it's pretty because it's fall foliage with a reflection, but I don't feel it's particularly great. However, I won't vote against it and don't feel bad that it will be featured. But I don't really share the overwhelming enthusiasm for it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:56, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment My !vote notwithstanding, after reviewing the satellite photos (would use Street View, but like Germany Austria is a little funny about that) and comparing them with the image I think the coordinates from which the image was taken are wrong in the geotag. My guess as to the camera's actual location would be 46°53′42″N 14°19′14″E / 46.89505°N 14.32067°E, or somewhere near the vicinity of Sankt Margarethe. Daniel Case (talk) 06:14, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

- Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Plants#Rosaceae
- Info A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over a hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. All by LivioAndronico (talk) 04:51, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

COM:COSPLAY and its statements are described as superseding that discussion. And although it doesn't come down strongly on my side of this, I honestly don't see any difference between someone cosplaying a character and a statue or action figure of that character. They are all derivative works of the same copyright. So I !vote ...

- Daniel, cropping the top off the headshot is absolutely standard, and not a flaw. See this article and links. As for the copyright, if you feel strongly enough to oppose, then create a DR so it can be assessed by the community. -- Colin (talk) 17:22, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Colin: Thanks for the link; I can certainly see situations where you might crop the head. But perhaps since I'm as tall as I am, I get sensitive to this issue since I have so often bumped my head on things the midgets who run the world, at least the world of interior design and architecture , do not imagine any human being could possibly bump their heads on.
As for starting a deletion request, I would note that since there is an entire category devoted to this, it's not as simple as it sounds. It looks to me like all of those images are copyvio
However, I'm heading on up to Wikimania tomorrow, and given that there is often enough downtime between panels, events, get-togethers and random encounters with interesting people, i.e. all the things that make Wikimania great, where I find doing this sort of housekeeping work very relaxing and about up to where my state of mind is, perhaps I will take your suggestion and create that DR. And maybe the one for all the Christmas lighting displays from countries without FoP/with insufficient FoP, and the ones of Cloud Gate, all of which cannot be free images, which I have talked about initiating in the past.

- Comment I have a suggestion for the people who are concerned about the copyright issue: let's vote on the actual image here in FPC, and if you have concerns about the copyright, nominate the image for deletion and take that discussion there. Then we can stick to the issue of judging the image quality here in FPC.--Peulle (talk) 14:51, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Well, I'm the only one who has seemed to notice that we do have this policy. I !voted oppose because an image that is not free cannot be on Commons, much less be an FP. This forum addresses only the latter issue. As I said in my response above, I see that I may have the opportunity to create the deletion request for the entire category this coming weekend, so I will attend to that from Montreal (I hope).

- Question - I haven't voted on this photo, but let me ask you all: If someone intentionally posed to look like Superman, Batman, Spiderman or Ronald McDonald, would you consider all of those poses not to be violations of copyright? Supposing, for example, someone posed in a cape that looked just like Superman's cape, down to the big "S", would you then argue that a letter isn't copyrightable? I find it hard to understand why this is a usable image at all in terms of a common-sense approach to copyright. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:06, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose both versions. Seems a bit soft even for a 1960s photograph, crop is a bit tight for my taste – but both of that that might have to do with this being a promotional image (for autograph cards?). Over-all not a very convincing portrait in my book: If you want to want to promote a professional guitar player, you certainly don't want him to look at his fingers like a student (especially when he's only playing a simple A-minor chord). No "wow" for me. --El Grafo (talk) 13:49, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Softness can be attributed in part to the medium; the paper used was a very grainy kind, and thus to reduce that some softening was applied. Likewise, the close crop was made by the studio. The physical photograph has the same composition. Heck, this version has had an extra fifty or so pixels added. Please also keep in mind that the technology being used in Indonesia was not the same you'd expect from contemporary American studios. I'd be surprised if the camera here was any less than five years old. Might have even been this one. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:24, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case: Don't get me wrong: Given the size/intended usage of the original, the sharpness is perfectly fine. It just appeared to me as if the paper would have been able to resolve more detail than was present in the negative. But that's of course irrelevant and not the reason for my oppose. I just should have kept my finger still (and I should probably be trouted for pixel-peeping something like this). The "no wow" remains, though. --El Grafo (talk) 15:04, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

- @Reidgreg: See our guidelines for what makes a featured picture (FP). If you look at the image at 100% view (go to [2] and click to magnify), it is clearly unsharp. It is not great in the center, and even worse towards the edges. I'm sorry if it comes off a bit harsh, but we do have quite high standards. File:Toronto - ON - Skyline10.jpg is a Toronto skyline FP, and as you can notice it is much more detailed at full-resolution than your image. I'm guessing your photo was taken with a phone or point-and-shoot; I'm not saying it's impossible to create an FP without a DSLR camera, but it's much harder to meet the image quality requirements with a small camera. But image quality is only one part of the equation; your photo is also taken during midday, when the lighting is not very interesting. An hour or two before sunset is a good time to take photos in general. To be an FP, an image must have high image quality and have a "wow" factor. I suggest you try submitting photos to COM:QIC first to get a sense of what kind of image quality we're looking for here. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:13, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- (Edit conflict) again... Oppose Sorry, this is't working for me but for other reasons than above.

- Comment @Ikan Kekek: There are many bushes and trees here in this wooded area. About the only way I could maybe get that bush marginally in the photo instead of where it is now is if I stood in the stream.

- @Ikan Kekek:
- Oppose Not sure what artifact Ikan sees. I see several little burnt holes where the HDR has not handled highlights properly. The framing doesn't extend to the whole bridge. The technical quality is ok but lower than many of our FPs but most such FPs are considerably higher resolution than this 9.7MP so I can't really say it is comparable to FP level for such city sky at night scenes. -- Colin (talk) 19:34, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info The Qal'at al-Bahrain, also known as the “Fort of Bahrain” and previously as the “Portugal Fort”, is an archaeological site located in Bahrain. Archaeological excavations carried out since 1954 have unearthed antiquities created by various occupants from 2300 BC up to the 18th century. It was once the capital of the Dilmun civilization and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. I think the rather harsh lighting actually helps the composition here as it accentuates the architectural features of the fortress, underlining the power and resilience of its walls. The earth-colored tones of the image’s lower half and the deep-blue sky of the upper half define an interesting contrast. All by me, --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:31, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

- Neutral The building is very interesting and the quality is high but the angle is uninteresting. I think that a lower angle might have worked better here as it would 'open up' the house a bit. See how it worked for this opera house. The cranes are not on a construction site; that is the shipyard next to the opera. The cranes are permanently fixed on each side of the dock, so not going anywhere soon, they are part of the cityscape. --cart-Talk 10:31, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose. Good light, but compositionally a bit boring. On borderline cases like this, I tend to look towards resolution/quality. I feel like there might be a bit too much water and sky, so there's really only about 10 million high-quality pixels, which isn't enough to push an otherwise marginal image over the edge for an easy-to-take subject like this. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:37, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

- Hi @Ikan Kekek: What you describe so clearly makes this church interesting for me. Austrian churches tend to be overloaded by altars, paintings, etc., mostly of doubtful quality. This church is different, and I like the very special atmosphere there. A church in a little village, unknown to most people, no tourists. I have spent there about two hours, just this excellent altar, my camera, and me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:59, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Very nice and high quality work especially the excellent light management in the altar area. But most of the picture is dominated by the quite uninteresting cross vault.The altar on its own would be a FP for me.--Ermell (talk) 06:50, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support The majority of rural churches in Austria (or Bavaria) were built in the 14th or 15th century, i.e. they are essentially gothic. Many people don't realize that since most church interiors were significantly changed during the baroque period. So it's actually rather challenging to find good examples of, more or less, "unaltered" (I know the term might be misleading) rural gothic parish churches. This image here is a great example and technically well executed. We should appreciate that, the photo is very valuable. From a purely aesthetic perspective I really do prefer baroque decorations, but that's not very NPOV... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:10, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I think the image would be strengthens by cropping off some ceiling e.g. to 16:9 or even slightly wider. The ceiling repeats so not really losing much information and then the arches along the sides become more dominant pattern. -- Colin (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Colin: I tried a tighter crop as you proposed, but I like the image much more as it is. So I decided to keep it uncropped. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - I feel like I've given this photo a chance, and all that shadow doesn't do it for me for an FP. To me, it makes the photo interesting, and I understand why it was a pleasant experience, but the shadows don't help make it impressive. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:36, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose As before. As an overall scene, it is far too narrow to form a pleasing panorama for the eye: everything is tiny and there's a lot of snow and not enough sky. I fee like I'm looking down at the snow and can't lift my head up straight when I look at this. The only thing my eye focuses on is the tree on the far right, as everything else is too indistinct to make out. As an image to zoom into, it is neither a full 360 nor is it detailed compared to other FPs that reward zooming. Look at the other images in Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Panoramas and you will generally see they make great images even in small size. -- Colin (talk) 13:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose as per Colin. Daphne Lantier 19:08, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Colin and Daphne, again I disagree. The full 360° around aren´t rational here. Behind me is dark forest. View offers only the direction shown. I don´t know what medium you use for regarding my panoramas. On my screen it fills clearly more than 100% in the standard-viewer and full resolution. It is not narrow. There is no interest to blow it up with simply white snow on the bottom or empty blue sky at the top or the forrest behind. The panorama shows the natural outlook as it can be seen with free eyes into a landscape I often work with in the German Wikipedia and I think it´s usefull there. Details are limited. I dont´t want to show the house numbers in the villages. Do you want to suggest another FP-category for my images since you think that only 360° or 360°x180° are panoramas? Yes, some FPs are better, some not. Is it a valid guidline that a FP rewards zooming in any special viewer? --Milseburg (talk) 21:57, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment It´s in fact a curved landscape. I really not sure which curve is meant exactly. Perhaps it's helpful to compare the image with a calculated, virtuell panorama. --Milseburg (talk) 16:10, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. I guess the real question is, is the curve up to the right and left really there? About how many degrees is this panorama? 180°? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:40, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek, A cylindrical projection keeps vertical lines straight-up-and-down but only the centre horizontal is straight (remember this image may not be cropped symmetrically around the centre of the projection). There is one cylindrical projection (here) that preserves diagonals-from-the-centre-vanishing-point straight also). Other than that, horizontals get increasingly bent as you deviate from the centre. See File:St Matthew's Church - Paisley - Exterior - South Panorama.jpg for an example, and you can check on Google Maps that the road I'm standing on to take that photo is relatively straight. Some scenes hide this better than others, but it is still there and cannot be elminated. -- Colin (talk) 08:24, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info, Colin. This seems like a gentler curve than that, but I'd love to see what this photo would look like in a straighter horizontal projection. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Info The viewing angle is approximately 200 °. Consider, that I am not standing on a plain. It is a slope. If you take a look in this way, it´s normal that the view goes down the hill first and than rises up again. A straight snowy plain in the foreground isn´t correct here. --Milseburg (talk) 19:41, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

- the grasshopper itself is not very colourful and the background neither. I think that these colours are quite natural. Compare it to the second shot of the same hopper which appears more colourful, here on the right side. This second shot has been taken later, under a very warm, descending sunlight, i.e. less natural (the timestamp is UCT+1 but Greece has UTC+2), while the picture listed as FP candidate was shot a bit earlier, with less direct sunlight (it was a bit cloudy that day) and with more stones and sand in the background to have a clear contrast between the background on one hand and the sticks and the insect on the other hand. Not all insects are colourful ;-) --Sputniktilt (talk) 19:12, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

- Hi PseudoSkull and thank you for wanting to make a FPC nomination. Unfortunately this nomination was not made the right way. You can't just create a page with the nom name since it will then lack all the links, transcriptions and whatnots into the international system that is done automatically when you make a nom the right way. You need to ask for deletion of this page and do the nomination the right way by following the instruction on COM:FPC#Adding a new nomination. You might need help from an admin on this since the system is messed up by this faulty page creation.
- Having said that, it is very unlikely that a nomination of this photo will be successful since the photo is much smaller than the 2Mpx limit here. --cart-Talk 17:46, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment - Thanks. But it's still a little hazy/unsharp, among other issues (the crop and even presence of the stop sign would get some objections here). I think your best shot is to nominate this photo at COM:VIC, where it would have to be compared to all other photos of this facade. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:00, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info Castel del Monte (Italian for "Castle of the Mountain") is a 13th-century citadel and castle situated on a hill in Andria in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It was built during the 1240s by the Emperor Frederick II, who had inherited the lands from his mother Constance of Sicily. In the 18th century, the castle's interior marbles and remaining furnishings were removed. It has neither a moat nor a drawbridge and some considered it never to have been intended as a defensive fortress; however, archaeological work has suggested that it originally had a curtain wall. Described by the Enciclopedia Italiana as "the most fascinating castle built by Frederick II", the site is protected as a World Heritage Site. It also appears on the Italian version of the one cent Euro coin.

And yes, edges appear somewhat unsharp, again only at 100%. But it's a large file. Scale it down a bit, let's say to 3000x3000, and everthing's fine. So that's not a dealbreaker at all.

- Comment - This is a very good effort, and if not FP, very close, IMO. I like the compositions of the first two pictures, find them restful and consider them FPs. The left crop of the 3rd picture feels to me too close to the bridge over the stream (I guess that is). Would it be possible to add more room to the left? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:19, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment No, it's already at the maximum, but other sides can be cropped if you think that would improve the compositional balance. Perhaps you could add a note if you have a specific crop in mind?--Peulle (talk) 12:56, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- I think nothing can really compensate for the lack of room to the left, so this is something else you can consider for your next go at photographing this motif. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Not seeing an FP in any of these. Also I don't think FP sets are designed so you can gain 3-for-1 FPs by photographing from a few angles. Photos one and three aren't significantly different. I think perhaps the "set" description of FP needs some work, as I can't recall anyone featuring a set like this. It would need to be a pretty amazing building to give "wow" from all facades. Even Diliff didn't nominate sets, vs choosing the best of many photos taken inside or out. -- Colin (talk) 08:34, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, I agree that each of the images would have to satisfy FP status in order for the set to reach it (i.e. one should not be able to "sneak in" a non-FP amongst other images). As for the different angles, the reason I did it this way is that I noticed A.Savin using this strategy with his stadium photos. Thanks for reviewing. :) --Peulle (talk) 12:53, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment The human eye does not see everything in focus. What is on the periphery of vision is always slightly out of focus. This is why this image works so well. The slight out of focus edges allow the eye to focus on the fruit - the subject of the image - without the eye bouncing back and forth on an image as it would when the entire image has the same focus. There is a sense that this image mimics the way the eye actually sees. Representational painters are often very aware of this fact and paint accordingly. The image is masterful in my opinion in part because of the slightly out of focus edges. Note the work of photographers like Imogen Cunningham and Julia Margaret Cameron who used soft focus techniques on images. Both sharp focus and soft focus are legitimate ways of dealing with a subject (Littleolive oil (talk) 17:26, 22 August 2017 (UTC))
- Comment Jebulon, I don't see what you think is strange in the image note. That's a small young leaf coming in from the left and dead dying leaf in the background. PumpkinSky talk 10:54, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment Great composition, the stem and leaves create a depth to the image and the light is just right. I will support it as soon as all the errors made when stacking the images are fixed. As you have seen by now, the merging programs can be very unreliable and you have to fix the blooper yourself. In a focus stacked pic, all parts in one focus plane must be equally sharp. --cart-Talk 08:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I will look at this again this evening. Honestly, I'm not sure I can fix it to FP level, but maybe. @Ermell: , and info for User:W.carter, I done understand what is wrong regarding the comment "clone stamp mistake". Can you elaborate? Also in the one where say the leaf goes sharp/unsharp, I'm not sure a source image is consistently sharp. Is it okay if, in order to make it consistent, it's more blurry than it is now? And I assume you're talking about the dead leaf here? PumpkinSky talk 09:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Do what you can to make the photo as ok as possible. There are a few more places (besides the notations) with faults. I think you may have tried to 'run before you can walk here', since this is one of your first focus stackings. You chose a tricky subject and a lot (16!) photos, probably thinking that the software would fix it all. It might have been better here to do this in about 8 photos, leaving some of the background unsharp and less room for the program to <bleep!> up. --cart-Talk 09:45, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- That thought has occurred to me. If I can't fix it tonight. Maybe I'll restack with only 8 photos (the 8 best that I have). Yes, there are lots of objects and shapes in this. The trickiest parts have been the leaves.PumpkinSky talk 10:22, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info Just a rural, southern German church upon a hill... Well, not exactly: the Wieskirche, an UNESCO World Heritage Site , was designed in the late 1740s and is considered a major example of Bavarian rococo church architecture. Pilgrims have been visiting the shrine for more than 250 years - masses of tourists have been joining them for at least 50 years. So this place tends to be a bit crowded... When composing the image, I hoped to depict the scene the way visitors expect it to look like - not the way it actually looks like most of the time.

- Info The Cybo or Saint Lawrence Chapel (Italian: Cappella Cybo or Cappella di San Lorenzo) is the second side chapel in the right-hand aisle of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. For the beauty of its paintings, the preciousness of marble revetments covering its walls and the importance of the artists involved in its construction the chapel is regarded one of the most significant sacral monuments erected in Rome in the last quarter of the 17th century.

- Comment - The furthest back row of chairs is really distorted - the one furthest to the right looks so tilted it should fall over.

- Comment Ikan Kekek, the original one, the version I did is closer. The scene, especially the bridge, varies quite a bit with changes in sunlight because of the the openings in the trees and such. For reference you may want to look at File:Moon Bridge and Fountain, Friendship Pond 2 NBG LR.jpg (the FPC nom I withdrew), and File:Moon Bridge and Fountain, Friendship Pond 3 NBG LR.jpg. The overall average of how the bridge generally looks is probably somewhere photo 2 and photo 3. PumpkinSky talk 22:25, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. So here's my dilemma: I would support this version and oppose the other, but I'm not sure if that makes sense if the other version is the truer one. In that case, maybe it's not justifiable to support this version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:48, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek I can certainly understand your position. Trying to be neutral, I looked again at the other photos I made of this bridge and the coloring in this alt nom version is consistent with how the bridge can with certain lighting. PumpkinSky talk 15:34, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I'm afraid per previous nom I'm not finding wow here to take it to FP. The fountain just looks a bit odd, with not being able to see the base and perhaps exposure is slightly too long this time so water is less clear and more blurred. The leaves/bark also appear quite soft compared to previous nomination, perhaps too much NR or not focused so well or light not so good. -- Colin (talk) 16:45, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Sorry... I think waiting a few minutes (or hours or days) for the lighting to be more favorable on the foreground rocks would make it a more compelling photo. As is, to me they are distracting. The composition is also not compelling... perhaps a longer lens from further away would be better, but I'm not sure. As it is, we have a tiny house on some bright green grass with dark shadows in the foreground and my eye is struggling to find any wow. Storkk (talk) 15:23, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Storkk. Also, too soft throughout ... was there a reason for using ISO 400? Daniel Case (talk) 04:07, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Daniel Case, thank's for your comments. The ISO 400 was simply to allow faster exposure (no tripod) and greater dof in the subdued late-evening Scottish daylight (20:29 UTC = 21:29 local time). DeFacto (talk). 09:06, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

- Thank you. Yes and no, I remember to have integrated voluntarily the yellow grass, because I liked the colour and the sunlight on it, and I'm a bit refractory to the idea of removing it now. Specially as I had a zoom and I clearly chose this crop... Further more I usually try not to go less wide than 16*10, otherwise I have the impression that something is missing... But you are right that this yellow grass distracts a bit the spectator's attention, however if I don't want to crop this one, I will try to avoid such distractions for my next compositions.

, but has some visible stitching artifacts from (I think) two bad seams, that would be nice to correct. One seam is most visible at (8492, 1363) going about 212 pixels horizontally right. The other seam is more minor and looks like it affects (7378, 2147), (7431,2189), (7492, 2625), (7476, 2563).There is also some Moiré on the sides of buildings in the approximate boxes (5700+65, 1170+345), (6210+130, 1795+70), (6700+110,1780+180), (7115+100, 2145+430)... some of these may be more simple to desaturate or fix than others.

- Oppose Sorry to spoil the party, but I'm not seeing the "wow" factor. In general, on a cloudy day it makes for a better composition to exclude the sky altogether (which you did in the other version, which I supported). Here the sky is brighter than the ground, and exposing the whole scene properly (as you have done) makes the subject look grey and boring. While the sky is not completely featureless, the clouds are too soft to have a dramatic effect. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- strong oppose Inferior to the other one (even though I'd have liked more mountain in the other one). But really I think this is an abuse of FPC to nominate the same scene just with zooming out a bit. This is about selecting the "finest" not just accumulating gold stars, and the word I'd like to emphasise is "selecting". If you prefer this, offer this nom as a delist-replace, but please don't just nominate what are essentially alternative crops / brightness -- that's why we have alts. -- Colin (talk) 16:50, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

You should also make sure the image page is complete with categories. Please read the Guidelines; FPs are not just good pictures, they're among the best images on Commons - "the top fraction of a percent", one of thousands. Take a good look at the guidelines page for suggestions as to what makes a good photo.

- Oppose - It's a pretty good picture, just not one of the very best on the site. I think the bottom left corner is probably too dark. Most of the rest is not too dark for me, and actually, what bothers me more is the soupy sky - a less glary day and/or time of day would look better. This picture is also extremely small for FP, as the absolute lower limit in size is 2,000 megapixels, but usually only an extraordinarily outstanding photo would be featured at that size. I think that if you submit this photo to Quality Images Candidates, it would probably miss being promoted, though possibly by a relatively narrow margin. You might find it useful to submit some of your photos to COM:Photography critiques or COM:QIC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:54, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Way too dark and the branches of the tree are 'burned out' against the sky, there is also the size - it looks like it might have been downsampled to get it sharp. --cart-Talk 09:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Charles, I'm surprised at this comment. A photo of a blue tit, pigeon, or common park pond bird is relatively easy and we would demand the most high quality technically as well as composition (or at least, a photo that made us laugh). We also know that bird-in-flight is technically harder than bird-in-bush.

- Cameras have gotten so good that today anyone can take a sharp picture of that with basic knowledge of photography. But maybe with a crop... - Benh (talk) 15:03, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- mild Support When you see this as a thumbnail I agree that it’s too cluttered but when you really look at it I see what Ikan sees. The whole photo is very complex and is excellently photographed. DoF is right on, it’s just that the other elements in the photo (except for the red rope and plant) subtract a bit. Lack of symmetry isn't a dealbreaker here for me. -- Sixflashphoto 20:13, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- By next week, this will either be an FP or be declined at FPC. If it passes and you'd like to offer the proposed crop, I suppose you could suggest a delist and replace, or you could propose that version as another FP, but I don't know how that would be received. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:32, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm going to give you what I hope comes across as a high-level criticism, because the thing is, as others have said, this is indeed a beautiful picture, and the light is beautiful. However, the fields and sky are pretty inert (sure, the sky gradually gets darker going up, but that's not enough for a great composition in this case, in my opinion), so I think this photo lacks something that could make it better than merely quite good, but truly outstanding. It looks like I'm far outnumbered on this, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:58, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose While I don't really see much wrong with the quality, there's no "wow" for me either. The old and dirty car isn't special either and doesn't add any coolness or wow to the scene.--Peulle (talk) 15:05, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Peulle, most of the car is in shadow and that is never good when photographing vehicles. For such a shot to work you'd also have to get down low for a more imposing angle of the car and preferably have just clean waves in the background, not having the image bisected by a wall as well. --cart-Talk 07:29, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - I agree with the others. Not striking enough to be an FP; the car detracts from the view, IMO, although it's supposed to be the subject. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment I'm not sure about the projection: the outer wings of the building appear as if they were curving outward. --El Grafo (talk) 12:44, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- I think that this is the normal effect when taking such huge building with a wide angle lense and forming it to a cylindrical panorama. It covers a view of 180° degrees and the distance of the left and right wing is perhaps 50 m while the main entrance in the far is 100 m from the tripod. I am not an expert on 180° or 360 ° panorama photos but some colleagues here are and probably can give a suitable explanation, why this has to be as it is. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 14:30, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

- There's always tradeoff. Either u curve the verticals or the horizontals (there's more than that, but I make it short). From my experience, the best compromise would be to use a panini general (maybe that's what u meant), which allows to fine tune the amount of distorsion. - Benh (talk) 11:16, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

- Neutral and not a support because I'm per El Grafo. But I am fairly sure this can be improved with a Panini general projection. - Benh (talk) 11:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I installed Hughin and tried it yesterday evening. But surprisingly - though I took the photos in 20° interval steps with huge overlap - the program complaints, that it does not find enough stitching points. Probably, I am lacking experience to use this program after that short time of testing it. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 13:01, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- On reading again the technical informations of Benh (thanks for that!); I gathered, that a 180° panorama can never have rectilinear verticals and straight horizontals. This seems logical to me, as the image is not just a wide angle representation, but a flat projection of a cylindrical representation. So, for my personal taste, the curved buildings are more suitable than curved/inclined verticals, especially as I was standing in a distance of the building where it is desirable to have rectilinear verticals. If someone does not share that view, it is ok, but it seems not justified to perform a post processing, that can technically not give the requested result. —CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 14:07, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

- weak oppose Over the past couple days, I've really tried to like this. I'm sorry, though, I can't: it makes me feel like I've had one too many drinks. I think it may not be possible to photograph the whole building from this close up and obtain a panorama that I would like. Storkk (talk) 16:35, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- Neutral although it's a very good photo, something totally bothers me about it. I can't even say what it is. --Rettinghaus (talk) 12:32, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The picture is technically impressive, but the projection somehow gives the impression that all the verticals are wonky even though they're perfectly vertical. This optical illusion rather distracts from the building. --bjh21 (talk) 12:10, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I'm afraid it isn't working for me. I appreciate that the very wide view cannot be rectilinear, though the "Panini General" (aka vedutismo on PtGui) has the advantage of ensuring any diagonals radiating from a central vanishing point will be straight, as well as straight verticals. The verticals here aren't all quite perfect, with a few wonky ones. The "looking up" complaint may be solved by adjusting where the vertical centre of the projection is, and this may also minimise the degree of horizontal curvature a small amount. Alternatively go for a crop of the central portion and use a rectilinear projection. -- Colin (talk) 17:06, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Too much distortion for me, sorry. --Ivar (talk) 05:38, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

- Support - I think the contrail seeming to slant up from the star on the bell tower is really the cherry on top of this picture.

- Weak Support noting the slight overexposure. Unlike Ikan I don't think the rock faces are too bright, but there appears to be detail lost on the white facade (namely, compression of the RGB values within a narrow band around 240) - probably unrecoverable since you took the photo at 1/80s @ f/10, a stop above what I consider the "standard" daytime exposure (1/250s @ f/8). Fortunately, it's a flat surface that didn't have too much detail to begin with, so it's not too distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:16, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

- Support Excellent composition (the timing must be spot on since the aircraft move around constantly), the symmetry is awesome. Huge wow factor as a result. Sharpness is good, as is exposure. There are rain/water drops flying around, creating "dust spots" that I wish were removed, but on the other hand such spray is part of the environment setting, adding to the realism of the photo. All in all, great work and definitely meets the FP criterion in my book.--Peulle (talk) 09:06, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

- Info Aali Qapu ("Great Gate") Palace, Isfahan, Iran. The name Great Gate was given to this place as it was right at the entrance to the Safavid palaces which stretched from the Naqsh e Jahan Square to the Chahar Baq Boulevard. The building, another wonderful Safavid edifice, was built by decree of Shah Abbas I in the early seventeenth century and is forty-eight meters high with six floors, each accessible by a difficult spiral staircase. It was here that the great monarch used to entertain noble visitors, and foreign ambassadors. All by me, Poco2 08:01, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
