- Interesting. I thought I saw what you say, but checking with Photoshop's color picker, I can't find any shadow. The sky has not been locally lightened. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Could it be a matter of local treatment, like brush associated with highlights and /or shadows? When I pick up the colors locally to compare different locations, it appears that this zone of the sky around the bird (especially above) is slightly darker than elsewhere. By the way, color space is reported "uncalibrated" -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support I don't know how much interest there will be in this, maybe because the motif is not naturally very wow-y. But having lived with it for a while I really like it. The composition is satisfying and the light is warm and inviting, and I love the Christmassy vibe. Cmao20 (talk) 23:27, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support Agree with Cmao20. For me the contrast of the inviting warm light on the hut with the blue hour surroundings makes this photo very atmospheric (not to mention the Christmas tree ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 11:09, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support Van Gogh's brush strokes cannot be expressed in 2D, but this is still worthy of FP. --Laitche (talk) 12:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Garish colors. Oversaturated, yes. Not Van Gogh's usual palette, sorry. Compare with the version in Van Gogh Museum, and newspapers like Le Temps, The Conversation, Times of Malta, Le Figaro, France Info, Telerama, Vogue, Le Point, La Voix du Nord... -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I wonder which parts are oversaturated compare with this one or this one??? --Laitche (talk) 04:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Clearly different colors when the 2 images are superimposed for comparison. The original blue is not an electric blue but a much warmer tint, kind of Persian blue / Persian indigo. It has an impact on the mood. Quality of the file is good, but I think the colors have been modified too much from the original version.
- Moreover, when increasing the exposure on Photoshop, the colors remain accurate. I don't know which process has been made here, but temperature and saturation seem wrong.
- The original version (archived) from the Van Gogh Museum is here. Although dark, it is very likely that the light calibration is relevant, and the difference is huge. I don't find good to overwrite the original picture by an arbitrary version, so different. At the very least it should have been done under a different file name.
- The original picture is not a RAW but a JPG. It means that if you alter the luminosity, you are modifying fixed colors (not flexible). The more important the change is, the more damaged are the nuances of the palette. Non-artistic files, like graphics or tables, can be improved that way, but hardly art pieces, where subtle colors are essential and skillfully designed by sensible artists -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, it's definitely different, but isn't it more like brightened than oversaturation, in my eyes :-) --Laitche (talk) 07:47, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Brightening, lightening, or whatever tool was applied here, has resulted in oversaturated colors because the JPG colors were pushed excessively. To verify, you can try this simple test on your computer: take a RAW photograph, then convert it in JPG. Afterwards, increase the light of both images, the RAW and the JPG separately, then you'll notice a significant difference in the saturation of the colors. The RAW will seem plausible, while the JPG will appear unnatural -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I got it! :) --Laitche (talk) 09:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you, Basile Morin, for the explanations and the instructive example! This shows the much higher potential of raw files. And there are even more benefits of shooting raw over shooting JPEG. Hence the common advise “Shoot raw” … --Aristeas (talk) 11:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Another painting also made by Van Gogh, was uploaded the same day from the same official website. The exposure is okay, suggesting that there might be a valid reason to present this version of the painting, rather than a bright one. Very possibly the original artwork is composed of dark colors on the canvas. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:56, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

- I don't think I am being biased. I have opposed plenty of Poco's nominations in the past including one this month. I think this is pretty harsh though, being really honest (nothing personal, I love your work!). Some churches just are quite dark and at 5:49pm in winter, this is very likely to be pretty accurate to the actual lighting. And as for off centre, the church itself is clearly 'off centre' in that the centre aisle does not line up with the altar. Maybe that precludes the photo from FP for you, but it is not the fault of the photographer. In an asymmetric building one has to choose something to be centred at the cost of other things, I guess.

- Info Cloister of the Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, one of the jewels of Romanesque in Spain. It's located near Jaca, in the province of Huesca and is partially carved in the stone of the great cliff that overhangs the foundation (San Juan de la Peña means "Saint John of the Cliff"). The old monastery was built in 920, became part of the Benedictine Order in the 11th century and was the first monastery in Spain to use the Latin Mass. The cloister, built ca. 1190, contains a series of capitals with Biblical scenes. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

- Ikan Kekek, the language of the Mass would have still been Latin, but the liturgical rite used would not have been the 'Latin Mass'. 'Latin Mass' is a particular form of the liturgy that was common in Western Europe but was not universally imposed until the papal bull Quo Primum in 1570, which imposed the Latin 'Tridentine' Mass across the Western church until 1970 when Vatican II allowed individual churches to move to the vernacular. Before 1570, most churches in Spain - evidently not this one, probably because of the Benedictine connection in this case - used something called the Hispanic Rite of the Mass, which was longer than the Latin Rite and a bit more 'interactive'; it included lots of responsories between the priest and the congregation. The Hispanic Rite is still celebrated regularly in Toledo Cathedral because there was a lot of seventeenth century interest in protecting its survival. Cmao20 (talk) 11:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Striking sky, but something about the post-processing on the foreground especially isn't working for me -- I think it's a result of raising the shadows too much in some areas? Curious to see if others get the same sense. — Rhododendrites talk | 03:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes it is HDR photography taken from 3 images in bracketing mode at different exposures +/-2EV. The shadows of the foreground have been lifted to reveal more details. It is intentional to avoid black silhouettes (due to contrejour and high contrast), and also to highlight the content I find interesting, in addition to the clouds. Thanks for your comment -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support This is way too beautiful for me not to support, but I think you should add this disclosure in addition to the fact that it's an HDR image. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:42, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- Info Thanks everyone for the feedbacks and suggestions. There are different tastes in this group. It seems that Rhododendrites likes the shadows reduced and Laitche on the contrary lifted, with the exposure slightly decreased. Still no major difference in the saturation of the colors in my view. But the current version is a faithful representation of the sky that morning, and I don't want to create a fiction. The intensity of exposure is arguable, but more a matter of taste in my opinion. Thus I keep the current settings. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:06, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for the attentive hint, Ikan. I also noticed the supposed watermark during the retouching. I can only assume that there was some writing on the wall that wasn't removed carefully enough before the wall was repainted. It can also be seen on the original Library of Congress photo. Since this is most likely the current state at the time the photo was taken, it is simply part of the scenery depicted in the photo. There is another photo from this series in which the overpainted writing is faintly recognizable upon closer inspection. Further down this photograph, you can see other white lettering that has not been overpainted. So it probably wasn't a real wall, but an event stand or a theater or concert poster made of wood or sturdy cardboard. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:44, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- I'm going to be honest and say that I can't actually see the issue you and Charles have found. Can you be more specific about what I'm looking for when I look for these haloes? Cmao20 (talk) 19:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- There's a lighter region around the flower. It's clearly visible to us on the thumbnail. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:08, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Weak oppose My vote is not going to change the result, but I would like to notify Cmao20 and others that more than two people (clearly) notice this large halo around the flower. It makes the aspect a bit weird, giving the impression that the photo has been manipulated, which is not false, with focus stacking, but usually the technical process is invisible -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

- Info The gable of the middle section of the South facade of Linderhof Palace is crowned of Atlas as a central figure. On the left side of the gable are standing two statues, representing "Agriculture" and "Trade", on the right side the statues "Science" and "Industry".

- Oppose with regret. I was ready to support this because it's really interesting and a correct use of the set nomination mechanism. But the middle image of the Atlas statue is just not sharp. Cmao20 (talk) 14:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Not a set. Other statues missing. And the centre image is not to scale. It is larger than the others. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Irrespective of whether this is a proper set, Atlas is not sharp enough and wouldn't get my support if that picture were nominated individually. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose This cannot be a set as there are many more statues on the facade, including the one deleted (which was not to scale). Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment But this are the only allegoric statues (see the title of this alternative set), the others are "normal" angels and putti, and Atlas, a mythological person (see here) --Llez (talk) 18:21, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support IMHO this works as a set because it shows all four allegorical statues of the façade. Their names form also a (at that time common) summary of the most important kinds of business, so they are complete. @Llez: I have marked three dust spots on the left image (see image notes on the file description page) and would suggest to fix them. --Aristeas (talk) 08:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose In both pictures the tiny part of the pillar visible at the left or at the right is ruining the composition. Also bottom-up angle of view is not so appealing. Insufficient wow factor to outweighs these two problems in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately the new versions with architectural elements removed are fake representations of the reality. Retouching such images by removing temporary elements (like a distracting plane for example, or litter), is generally acceptable, but not permanent elements which are structural parts of the site, in my opinion. Misleading images, all the more as {{Retouched}} is missing -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- That’s a tricky question you’re asking me there -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- If it is Thai, like the one in my garage, then it is out of place in this image. Pay the house another visit? Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:09, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Not misplaced on this bench. But perhaps misplaced in a garage :-) These cushions are very widespread in South-East Asia and commonly used for massages. Sometimes on the floor, sometimes on a bed, a couch or a bench. This house is managed by Laotian people who aim to spread local traditions. Similarly this table placed on a bed is an intentional presentation. It is certainly more comfortable to read a book leaning against a soft cushion than against the rigid wooden upright -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Your links are not to triangle cushions. I would be surprised to find a triangle cushion anywhere near a massage table. But the real point is whether an image showing crafts from Laos should feature a modern cushion of Thai design? Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Laos and Thailand were a single country until 1893. Almost the same language and the cultural similarities are numerous. These triangular cushions are very old, already represented in ancient paintings. So it's quite normal to find such traditional cushions in a Laotian house. Nike shoes are American even if they are made in China. These cushions are inherited from the kingdom of Siam (including Laos) and typical from the area. Maybe the petrol lamps are made in Vietnam or Cambodia, but they are also widespread here. So finding all these elements together is not really surprising, and is even certainly intentional -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:52, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- Info I anticipate that this picture might get some opposition because of the blown highlights on the snow. But I would invite you to consider that - particularly at high altitude where the air is thin, but really at any time - when bright sunlight is shining on snow it really does appear blindingly white, so personally I don't think that is a flaw. Anyway, I love the composition and the colours, the use of a portrait composition shows the imposing height of the mountain, and the expressions of the porters seem to convey effort.

- Support According to Wikipedia "one of the most significant sports figures of the 20th century". Great portrait, may be one of the best portrait of him on the Net. -- Yann (talk) 22:17, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Excellent portrait, but I don't like the right and left crops, and if it's a historical photo, maybe it shouldn't be cropped at all. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. On the left, I only cropped the black border. On the right, I removed the half-head, which is detrimental to the composition. Yann (talk) 08:37, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose We should not crop historical images. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:52, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Stop inventing rules and pretexts to justify your votes. Yann (talk) 18:00, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Try and behave yourself. I am not inventing rules. I am giving my opinion which I am 100% entitled to. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you are inventing rules. There is no such rule as "We should not crop historical images." Yann (talk) 17:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Like he said, it's his opinion, and you should back off. It's an idea that's been broached many times on FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- I repeat: there is no such rule as "We should not crop historical images." This should be evaluated on case by case basis. And as I explain below, it is a wrong argument here. But giving real valid arguments is much more difficult than false pretexts. Yann (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- You have your opinion, and he has his. I don't know why that's hard for you to accept, but I'm done here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- English is not my mother tongue but I learnt at school that "should" and "must" have different meanings. Nevertheless, in any case, it's just an opinion which is expressed here. And everybody are entitled to have one. I agree with Ikan, Charles and Frank. Considering we should not alter masterpieces, or delete essential elements of a photo, or change the artist's composition, is a very valid point of view -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- I see. That could have been a source of confusion. "Should" is <<on devrait>>; "must" is <<il faut>>. Or in this case, the negatives thereof. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:01, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with Charles. Historical images should not be altered if we use them in an encyclopedic context. I don't like that this cropped version is being used on different language versions. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:19, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Many historical FP are cropped, for a reason or another. There are dozens of examples. Yann (talk) 18:22, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- I know. That just doesn't make it right. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Frank Schulenburg: Historical images are altered all the time. They are restored, and many decisions have to be taken about colors, how much restoration should be done, etc. In addition, it doesn't make sense here because this is not scanned from a print. This is a slide, which was never printed as it is. Whoever may have printed it did alter it one way or another, at least cropping the black borders. Yann (talk) 17:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support: clearly superior composition compared to the original. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 19:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 15:46, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose This photo is the work of a famous photographer called Bernard Gotfryd. It is not Bernard Gotfryd's artwork cropped by User:Yann, it is just Bernard Gotfryd's artwork. If this photographer is famous, it's perhaps because of the competence in his sector? And there might be also a reason why the author chose to frame his subject this way? A reason why the picture has become famous this way? Empty space has immediately an impact on the viewer. It's not just a head, it's a head with the eyes looking up and a generous space above in the same direction, suggesting like an aura. Essential in the representation of Muhammad Ali. There is freedom, lead room, evoked over this head.
- This iconic picture is a historical document, found in the Library and Congress. Perhaps also exposed in museums, sold in auctions, etc. An iconic photograph only contains important details, and is well-known for the special ratio immediately recognizable (3:2, 4:3, 16:9, golden ratio, or else). You don't cut Piet Mondrian abstract painting because there is too much red for your taste, and similarly you don't cut the iconic picture of a famous photographer even if you don't understand the artist's choice -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- This seems essentially a straw-man argument. Have you even look at the source? I think I have respected the photographer's intent (no crop on the left), and only cropped the distractive element. That's what is done in every cases. And again, as I said above, this is a slide, and was never printed that way. Yann (talk) 11:10, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- To be featured, this picture should be able to illustrate 1) Muhammad Ali and 2) Bernard Gotfryd's work. The educational value is much higher when you can show how talented photographers compose their portraits. Moreover, the impact is more fascinating with space above, than without. And the original 3:2 ratio also has more meaning than this weird and arbitrary 1.22:1 format. There are historians who can be interested in the original document, and photographers interested in studying the author's style. Other photos by the same photographer reveal similar compositions, which suggests that this style is an integral part of the personality. Composition, like light, is not a minor element in photography, it is essential -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment The crop seems like uneasy compromise between the tight edit like this and the original slide minus the borders. You can still see part of the human figure on the right and there is too much space above for a portrait photo. --Thi (talk) 22:49, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support JukoFF (talk) 22:33, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment i see know situation here similar as on En.Wiki, but there beter photo is overwriten and at least here is seperate nom. Check please there. Second picture is best by far, and Yann made mistake while talking about new big resolution while its much less detailed than on 2nd version. If doing that, Yann should not Overwrite "good" picture but do seperate nomination. JukoFF, talk, The Cosmonaut, Yann, Basile Morin, Frank Schulenburg... We must put protection on film photos, not to Overwrite them. Yann i think i will do revert there, we do no good with this. --Mile (talk) 12:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Petar, picture with M. Ali was not overwritten, it is here along with source TIFF, Yann uploaded retouched version as a separate file. To me, modifications are reasonable as source file is not a normal print-scan but a slide format. MZaplotnik(talk) 12:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support Crops and composition are always debatable, but a good way to judge a food photo is whether it would look good as a picture in a cookbook, and I definitely think this one would. The fish is sharp, looks great and makes me hungry; the dishes, flatware and napkin are attractive; the side dishes are sharp enough; and there's enough space between everything. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:12, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Interesting but Underexposed in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:21, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know exactly what screen you are viewing the picture from, but the exposure should be correct. Janeklass (talk) 03:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
OpposeVery good screen. According to the metadata, exposure compensation was -4/3, and only +0.4 in post-treatement. 1 EV missing in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:46, 12 February 2024 (UTC)- The meta doesn't provide much information here. underexposure is used here on purpose. Otherwise, there would have been overexposed areas that would have negatively affected the result when the picture was assembled later. (focus stacking was used when taking the photo) 185.193.63.210 07:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- It just gives a rational clue to understand the reason for this underexposure. Was it intentional? Alright. So probably blown highlights avoided on the RAW files. But in that case, the exposure should be corrected afterwards in post-process. Overall the result is currently too dark -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- In general, I don't understand why you think the result is too dark. Maybe we see the result differently for some reason? Have you viewed the image on another device? When processing the image, I trust only my eyes (I don't track any numbers anywhere), and in my opinion, the image is not too dark.
- In addition, it must be understood that this is a microscope photo. When photographing with a microscope, controlling the light is extremely difficult. Classic microscope light is not used for this photo. This is reflected light coming from the side. The light source is the camera flash. The light is diffused by about 2mm of white plastic. 185.193.63.210 10:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's not difficult to set the exposure when the RAW files are correct, and I don't see why it would not be possible in this case. There are similar pictures with correct brightness nominated in the past.
- If you read the comments of this page, perhaps you'll realize that other people also notice the same issue. So please, stop insisting on my device, saying my screen is wrong. Maybe your version is darker than it should.
- It's just my two cents and subjective opinion. So deal with it and accept diversity. That's a way to improve. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'm just trying to figure out why the image is seen as too dark. I take into account that there are people who see the picture differently. But I still stand by my opinion - the picture is not dark on my screen and for my eyes. 185.193.63.210 10:49, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- See here or there for similar problems -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- If we forget for a moment the numbers in the meta data and just look at the photo - Do we still see the problem?
- I don't see. I can't see it in this photo and I can't see it in my photo either. 🤷 185.193.63.210 11:57, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes we see it. By the way, I did not check the metadata before writing my comment. This constatation is just supporting my initial impression. (That's for your "numbers".)
- The fact you don't see it's dark does not mean that you are right. And reciprocally of course (but it's not my picture).
- See also this recent nomination that was fixed yesterday.
- Apart from under-exposure, I agree with Charles about the possible focus stacking error (see image note). Very visible when light is adjusted . The background is darker at this spot, and that's a bit weird.
- To finish, I would recommend you to login, so that your comments are properly signed by you (apparently photographer), instead of an anonymous IP -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:14, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Okay! What are we arguing about, it's pointless 🙃 I can't stack again because I don't keep all the frames. When the photo is ready, I delete the frames used in the stacking, because it is digital garbage that does not make sense to keep. I can't change the light either, because I can process the image according to how my monitor shows it. The picture looks ok on my monitor. 185.193.63.210 12:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Proof that archived pictures are not garbage is that you can't fix an error when it's lost.
- Discussions about light are not pointless at FPC. Read COM:I section Underexposure.
- Once again, please log in because malicious IP sometimes have fun trolling nominations here. Question Do you have a good reason not to use your personal account? Further comments may be reverted too, to avoid identity usurpation. Thanks for your understanding -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- I take about 1000-1500 photos in assta, each photo takes 20-200 frames, the size of each frame is about 20mb. Archiving all this would take up a lot of space. The chance that some of the images will need to be corrected is extremely small. This particular photo is the first in 12 years. In light of all this, filling memory space with frames that are almost never needed seems like a pointless waste of resources.
- And I had a reason why I wasn't logged in - it was just more convenient 🙃 I have my passwords secured so that it is difficult for a stranger (where I am at the moment) to access them. I now had to struggle a bit to access my password. Janeklass (talk) 13:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support Better now. Very strange to delete source images when stacking software is improving all the time and others may be more skilled at stacking than the photographer. Seems common sense to keep source images for the best stack or two.. That's what I do and throw away the others. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Disagree :D
- If I kept all the raw files, I would need about 2TB of space per year. So for today my space requirement would be around 25TB. 90% of this space would be reserved for files that I will never open again after the first time. It would be a mindless waste of space and creating digital garbage. Janeklass (talk) 03:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

- Those issues already existed in the original LoC tif-file, they just got more augmented when the file was converted to jpeg and brightened a bit. Color film photos from the 80s weren't always that great technically. --Cart (talk) 23:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

- Anyone who wish to do so, is of course welcome to make their own version of this photo. However, per lots of discussions here, this version can't be overwritten, even by me, since it is a FP on en-Wiki with extracted images etc. used in many articles. I made it years ago to the best of my ability at the time and with the tools available back then. I didn't create it to be nominated anywhere, just wanted to see how the image looked after a bit of cleanup. No one is more surprised than me at the attention it has received since then. --Cart (talk) 17:58, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think that as the author of the development you can make an alt version based on the tiff and overwrite this photo. Thanks for the explain Wilfredor (talk) 20:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I could if I liked to. But, I'm really not that interested in this photo. And anyone who takes up the task will also find out that as soon as they attempt to brighten the photo, all the halos will become more visible due to the condition of the original. The LoCs tif that I used as a starting point for this image, is actually a museum grade scan of the original photo (as stated on their website) since the photographer donated his entire collection of photographs to the public to be kept in the care of LoC. So there is no point, Charles, going off searching for a better "original". I doubt that the LoC would allow a Wikipedian to do their own scan of the photo (1 photograph : color transparency ; 35mm (slide format)). There is an unfortunate big gap in the quality of documentary and portrait photographs between the often very sharp big early plates and the event of digital photography. We are so used to sharp color photos now, that we tend to forget how bad they were just 20-40 years ago. Only back then, we thought they were marvelous. --Cart (talk) 21:53, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your nutritious feedback Wilfredor (talk) 19:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- I uploaded a new restored version, please, let me know what do you think Wilfredor (talk) 13:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- It looks very clean, sleek, modern (as in not an 80s photo), and very AI. I will refer to what I wrote on another nom: link. --Cart (talk) 14:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Good. So what do you want to do now? Propose an alternative (but there is only 5 days left), or wait until this nom. is over, and propose a replacement? Yann (talk) 16:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- I successfully reproduced the issue with the red edge on the hands. This chromatic aberration occurs when trying to lift shadows in the TIFF file. Since there's no color detail in the TIFF, it results in a red border on the hands and other areas. I believe that due to the strong contrast in photos from that era, the shadows shouldn't be lifted as much. Regarding my photo, I agree (citing the restoration style that Christopher Nolan employed for the 4K version of "2001: A Space Odyssey"), but the "restoration" I'm undertaking is more akin to what James Cameron did with "Terminator 2" in 4K – a modern vision. My restoration aims to show how the scene actually looked at that moment, not how a photo taken in the 80s appeared. I'm not saying mine is the correct or incorrect approach, just highlighting the differences. Wilfredor (talk) 22:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- In that case, the version should be labeled 'recreation' and not 'restoration', since you are not restoring the photo, but rather trying to recreate the scene. --Cart (talk) 09:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- I better followed this discussion in the Wikipedia nomination in English so as not to repeat it. Wilfredor (talk) 14:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Very understandable. I think Yann may have been a bit hasty in starting the delist nom on en-wiki, before a consensus was reached here. It only split the discussion and complicated matters. --Cart (talk) 14:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Quality requirement is not identical there, where more importance is given to educational value, so it is useful to have opinions of people there. FP process is independent, even if one may influence the other. What is decided here doesn't have a direct impact on what is decided there. I would say that Wilfredor's version is brighter, and has more cleaning of spots and scratches, so Apple may rather choose it for marketing purpose. But is it faithful to the other original? It is another question. Yann (talk) 15:43, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

- @Ikan Kekek: Not really enough context to say, but I'd guess the embossed text (removed here) is between half an inch and two inches (1-5 cm), because much bigger and the tools get awkward, and much smaller and it's unreadable and unweildy, but that's both a wide range and is far too speculative for the file description.

- Thanks for your thoughts, Basile. It's certainly a nice touch, and not a problem in the wiki world, but I don't know if emoticons in filenames will work on all computer systems, especially older ones.

It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. In the 20th century, the Iberian lynx population had declined because of overhunting, poaching, fragmentation of suitable habitats, and the population decline of its main prey species, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), caused by myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease.

- Iberian lynx in Eastern Europe, sure. Btw, what is your success rate of FP noms? Poco a poco (talk) 14:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Success rate for me is when you open your FP Category you can enjoy to see picture there, your eyes should rest on them. Do you really think this one is worth ? It was "OK" shot, ISO 2500, but not FP standard, i talk for the original. When start "editing" you get worst, banding too. I would make just little denoise and increase Vibrance, maybe 4-5% Saturation and leave it. You can not set up "ISO 200" doing much here. In any case if so special its VI nomination, not FP. Try with QI nom. --Mile (talk) 14:31, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- I already went through QI and it got the stamp as you can see. Lighting conditions were very challenging (just after sunset). Poco a poco (talk) 16:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support Yes, the right eye is unfocused, but the cat has a real presence. In terms of the animal's scarcity, I will quote from w:Iberian lynx: "By the turn of the 21st century, the Iberian lynx was on the verge of extinction, as only 94 individuals survived in two isolated subpopulations in Andalusia in 2002. Conservation measures have been implemented since then, which included improving habitat, restocking of rabbits, translocating, reintroducing and monitoring Iberian lynxes. By 2012, the population had increased to 326 individuals,[6] to 855 in 2020,[7] to 1,111 in 2021,[8] and to 1,668 in May of 2023.[9]" That's pretty rare!

- Support Iconic picture from the Farm Security Administration collection, exhibited in The Bitter Years in the Museum of Modern Art. It is also mentioned in How to Read a Photograph by Ian Jeffrey.

- I think it was a lot harder for historic works to pass ten years ago. The recent promotion of the Ruby Bridges image shows historic value is much more valued nowadays, since it's poor composition was only mitigated by its high historic value, which would have been discounted in the past.

Yes, some local highlights of the white coat are too bright, but it would be very hard to avoid that in this high-contrast scene and it could easily result in an unrealistic overall impression.

- Comment The flower head is impressive, but I haven't decided whether the petals are sufficiently differentiated from the background. Even if the separation is adequate, is it exemplary? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:39, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! The left extreme petal (lower part) is not exemplary differentiated from background but overall composition is wonderful for me and the colors is great. Юрий Д.К 12:37, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support I take Ikan's point on board, and I'm not sure this is as clear cut an FP as votes suggest so far. But I quite like the bright vibrant colours and the composition placing the flower head at an angle. It's one of those flower photos that is IMO outstanding as a composition rather than as an identification photo. I could see a print of it hanging on a wall or in a coffee-table book. Cmao20 (talk) 12:18, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Poor DoF from F6.3 but real issue is the yellow flowers in the background which ruin the composition. LH crop too tight. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think that the yellow flowers in the background are benefit, but no issue. Юрий Д.К 15:59, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- The blurred petals of the subject merge with the blurred background flowers. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:21, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Busy background with yellow color that steals the show, by competing with the main subject. Technically, quite an ordinary shot, compared to the focus stacking pictures we had, offering more generous DoF, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:44, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Background too similar with the main subject. It may be a feature when showing camouflage, but not here. Yann (talk) 14:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination. Юрий Д.К 14:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Weak oppose Perhaps I am jaded but I miss a great composition, I feel like you could point your camera down into any little cove and get a shot looking quite similar to this.

- Fair enough, I do have the frames to make a panorama of the place. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 05:43, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Cmao20 and Kritzolina: are the coves unspoiled by development with exceptionally clear water really a dime a dozen? When I look at the Category:Coves_by_country, there are only 5 FPs, 2 of which are mine, so what am I missing?.. I truly wish such scenes were abundant, but in my experience, they aren't; certainly not in Europe. For me, waterscapes are as unique as mountainous landscapes, of which we have hundreds of FPs. But I suppose, this may be my subjective perception. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 05:43, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Such places are not a dime a dozen, but still for me this shot doesn't really stand out in a way that I would want it as FP. This also might have to do with the minor compositional issues Charles and Ikan mentioned and to which I might add the very tight crop on the left side. But I did not want to go nitpicking - the overall impression is one of "beautiful, but not so special as I expect from a FP". Perhaps I am truly jaded, like Cmao20. But perhaps it is also the fact that I do love waterscapes as well and tried to get excellent shots. And am left with the feeling of - I have some of similar quality that I decided not to nominate, because I don't think they are deserving. Kritzolina (talk) 07:02, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- They may very well be deserving, so, please, do nominate them! --The Cosmonaut (talk)

- Info Courtyarrd ("Cour d'honneur") of Les Invalides, Paris, France. Les Invalides is a complex of buildings located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris containing the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine. The complex also includes the former hospital chapel, now national cathedral of the French military, and the adjacent former Royal Chapel known as the "Dôme des Invalides", the tallest church building in Paris at a height of 107 metres (351 ft) (display here in the background of the image). The latter has been converted into a shrine of some of France's leading military figures, most notably the tomb of Napoleon. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:55, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

- Info Basilica of Our Lady of the Daurade, Toulouse, France. The first church in this location was established in 410 when Emperor Honorius allowed the conversion of pagan temples to Christianity. The original building of Notre-Dame de la Daurade was a temple dedicated to Apollo. During the 5th or 6th century another church was erected, decorated with golden mosaics; the current name derives from the antique name, (“Deaurata”, gold). It became a Benedictine monastery during the 9th century. After a period of decline starting in the 15th century, the basilica was demolished in 1761 to make way for the construction of Toulouse's riverside quays. The buildings were restored and a new church built, but the monastery was closed during the French Revolution, becoming a tobacco factory. The basilica had housed the shrine of a Black Madonna. The original icon was stolen in the fifteenth century, and its first replacement was burned by Revolutionaries in 1799 on the Place du Capitole. The icon presented today is an 1807 copy of the fifteenth century Madonna. Blackened by the hosts of candles, the second Madonna has been known since the sixteenth century as Notre Dame La Noire. The current edifice was built during the 19th century. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- HDD external hard drives between 8 and 14 TB cost between $100 and $200 in 2024. Much less expensive than camera equipment or microscope. And certainly enough space to archive RAW pictures for 5-10 years -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but my vision of that time is different. Now that I think about it carefully, I even have some raw files from 2011. I have never opened them since the first time. They just consume space somewhere in the cloud. In my opinion, a hard drive is not a safe solution anyway, many things can happen to them. I keep my files in the cloud.
- By the way, HDD is an outdated technology today. Janeklass (talk) 05:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- You can't have accurately fixed the stacking error with no raw material. I assume you have cut and pasted and cloned the area which reduces EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- It could not have been fixed even if the raw material was available, because the error is also in the raw material. Probably, among the raw material there was no file where the given place was in focus. Janeklass (talk) 11:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

- Microscope lenses are used in photomicrography, the dof of microscope lenses is very small. It is very difficult to get every little hair in focus and it is not always successful. It is very difficult to find that right stacking step length. You can't take too many shots, otherwise you'll have too much overlap, and if you take too few shots, you might end up with blurry areas. This problem has probably arisen because these hairs have not been brought into focus. I don't think it's a problem. The overall appearance of the character is nicely seen and that's enough. Janeklass (talk) 06:39, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

- Info Penha Convent (Portuguese: Convento da Penha) is a convent in Vila Velha, Brazil, on the top of a high mountain overlooking the cities of Vitória and Vila Velha. Founded in approximately 1558 by Pedro Palácios, today it is home to Espírito Santo's Patron Saint, Our Mother of Penha. Many believers make pilgrimages to this site which is surrounded by a green haven of forest. Created and firstly uploaded by Prburley - edited and nominated by ★ -- ★ 14:19, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support Yes, I know the pixel level detail is not very good. And Arion you should still invest in a proper camera if you want to do well at FPC, the results with an iPhone will be very hit and miss. But, this file is huge (42 megapixels) and this 11 megapixel downsample is pin-sharp except for a tiny bit of corner unsharpness. Add to that a careful composition, an interesting modernistic church in an underrepresented region at FPC, and the fact that this one unlike the last one is perfectly centered, and you've got yourself an FP in my view. Cmao20 (talk) 17:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose This is a very good and useful photo, but I don't think that on a site that has great, sharp photos by Diliff, Poco and others, this is one of the best on the site. Even at 50%, the upper stained glass windows are not sharp. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I have seen the works of Diliff and Poco a Poco, but I find it unlikely they would consider the possibility of traveling to countries like Brazil to undertake photographic projects, recalling the incident where Poco a Poco was assaulted. It's important to acknowledge that for those from developed countries, fully understanding the personal and security risks in these environments can be challenging. When evaluating photographs, as it highlights the dedication and bravery needed to capture these images, even within a church. My personal experience with photography in Venezuela exposed me to similar risks, underscoring the significant problems faced by photographers in these regions. The accessibility to high-end equipment, such as a D850 camera, is limited in many countries, which can be a barrier to high-quality photography. I believe it's important to encourage and support more FPs from photographers in developing countries. Currently, there's a notable imbalance, with a majority of FPs originating from Europe. Diversifying the geographical representation in photography not only enriches our understanding of different cultures but also provides a platform for talented photographers from various backgrounds to showcase their work. Wilfredor (talk) 12:03, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- There are some situations in which shooting an FP may be impossible, and in this case, that's unfortunately due to high crime. But it's not about countries being more or less developed. We've featured quite a lot of photos of developing countries, including Brazil. I don't think features are necessary to encourage good photography; they exist to put a stamp on the very best pictures on the site. We have QI and VI, and if someone wanted to develop a program for acknowledging the best photography in high-crime areas that are given some kind of understandable definition or of developing countries, as defined by some recognized measure - or, I think more relevantly, of places in the Americas other than the U.S. and Canada, because we could predict that a slew of Basile Moran's photos of Laos would clean up in any contest for the best pictures of developing countries, and they are already FPs - that would be great! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I understand and partially agree with you; however, you mention Basile Morin of Laos by way of comparison… it's funny to read because no other developing country is more dangerous, homicidal, robbing than Brazil. It's another level of reality. ★ 22:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, we have selected other photos from Brazil, most of which are mine, which is why I say it's risky. In Venezuela and Brazil, I used to dress very casually to avoid attracting thieves. I remember carrying a bag of bread or sweet potatoes, with the camera hidden at the bottom of the bag. If someone tried to rob me, I could show them it was just bread or sweet potatoes and nothing more. So, when I arrived at the place where I wanted to take a photo, I quickly planned my exit (usually by motorcycle taxi), quickly took out my camera, snapped the photo in 10 seconds, and then swiftly left the area. This technique worked for a long time, but the camera was a donation, not something I bought myself (it was donated by Dcoetzee about 15 years ago). This image might not be on the same level as those by Diliff and Poco, and I know that might seem unfair, but my vote is more about the circumstantial evidence of the dangerous country. Sorry if my comment seems excessive. Wilfredor (talk) 22:38, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- As someone who grew up in the bad old days of high crime in New York City, I'm certainly sympathetic. Loads and loads of cameras were stolen here in those days, though it sounds like today's Brazil is much worse than that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I want to share with you a recent incident that happened during my trip to Brazil and why I've decided to avoid traveling there for some time. Upon arriving at the airport, my suitcase was immediately stolen. Then, 30 minutes later, I went to pick up a car I had rented online, only to find out from the rental company that they had no record of my booking, even though I had paid almost a thousand dollars. I then took an Uber to the house where I was supposed to stay. The next day, I managed to find a very cheap car, but it had trouble starting. Still, I set off on my journey, only to be stuck in a traffic jam for four hours, during which I was robbed by a motorcyclist. Afterward, I needed to refuel, so I stopped at a gas station where an attendant filled up my tank (as is customary in Brazil). However, when he came to charge me, I noticed the fuel gauge hadn't moved; my tank was still empty. It seemed that even the Shell gas station had scammed me. I called the police, who told me that the problem might be with my car and if I left without paying, I could be arrested. Reluctantly, I paid. Later, when I headed to my Airbnb, the address in the listing was different from the one the owner gave me, which turned out to be in a favela – yet another deception. This experience was a typical day in Brazil. Wilfredor (talk) 01:01, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- Question The Genus and species are not known? I would like photographer to assure us that there are two appendages (?) on the right hand side as the image looks like there was movement and the same appendage is shown twice. I can't find any similar image to compare this with. Apologies if I am being sceptical. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I can't tell you the exact type. I'm just a photographer and I'm not a specialist who can determine the species.
- It is possible to find similar pictures, for example here are some similar species: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-review-of-rice-field-ostracods-(Crustacea)-with-a-Smith-Zhai/a744116bb59f1ab740742b4ba1d6ab2a9dfc7d14/figure/1 Janeklass (talk) 18:44, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't think it can be one of Commons' finest if we don't know what it is. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- In most such images, the exact species is uncertain. It requires very specific knowledge and a thorough observation under the microscope. I am not a scientist and I have no such competence. I will try to find out in the microscopist community if anyone can at least determine the genus. If someone can tell me, I'll add it to the description. I don't have an answer at the moment. Janeklass (talk) 05:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- The genus would be fine. In very many cases a species cannot be identified with a photo. Can you answer my query on the possible double appendage please. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong there on the right. It's a natural part of him. Here is a similar species. In my picture, the character inside the box is just in a different position.

- This character comes from fresh water, caught from a lake in Estonia. We probably won't know what species it is based on the photo. No one in the microscopist community has been able to tell me this, and I've actually been in touch with one scientist who also owed me an answer. Even so, the photo is not useless. This fits very well with an article that describes ostracods more generally. Janeklass (talk) 11:23, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment If we go to some smaller insects and other similar creatures, then exact identification may only be possible based on genetics. I don't know if that is the case here, but for a stuff that small, ordinary approach may no longer work. Kruusamägi (talk) 10:51, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Also, the picture may be exploited for educational purposes indipendently from the identification of the species.

- I don't think that's a good reason for a feature, but Kruusamägi's remarks give me pause. In cases in which it's impossible to identify the genus by sight, wouldn't a higher-level taxonomic category be sufficient?

- Info Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus, citadel of Carcassonne, France. The original church is thought to have been constructed in the 6th century during the reign of Theodoric the Great, ruler of the Visigoths. In 1096, Pope Urban II visited the town and blessed the building materials for the construction of the cathedral, which was completed in the first half of the 12th century. Around the end of the 13th century, during the rule of kings Philip III, Philip IV, and the episcopates of Pierre de Rochefort and Pierre Rodier, the cathedral was reconstructed in the Gothic style. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Thanks, Kruusamägi. But I'm confused about the taxonomy of this species. Wikispecies' entry on Simocephalus states that "The name of this taxon appears to be invalid under the relevant nomenclatural code." Do we know the species or at least genus of the individual shown in this picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Those things are not overly well researched and thus a lot of species are not known and classification occasionally gets changed. But this family was classified already in the 19th century and there doesn't seem to be some new classification published recently that merges Simocephalus genus into some other Daphniidae genus.

I cant see it, please, could you add notes?.

- Question for @W.carter: Wilfredor (talk) 23:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Not quite sure why you ping me, when it's clearly Adam Cuerden who is our biggest expert on restorations. And I hope that you don't include me in the "fanatics and purists" group you mention above, because that would be very insulting. But I'll try to answer as best I can.
- AI can be good for reducing noise in modern photos, if it's handled the right way, but not so good for fixing up old photos. AI simply isn't good enough for such things yet. This is because (as the AI techs put it) "it lacks consequentialist thinking". This is at the moment the big problem that those working on AI in films are dealing with. For example, most AI still have a problem with hair, and therefore it can't see the difference between a hair growing from someone's head or if it's just lint on the film.
- The noise in modern digital photos is fairly uniform and predictable since it is made in a digital way. AI can find patterns in it and make calculations about what the missing bits might be, and make the image better. Photos made on glass plates or film are a very different matter. They are made in a more "organic" way with noise and grain more random, which makes it hard for AI to "read" the info in it. AI isn't smart enough either to recognize damage made to a photo by time (scratches, dust, lint, spots, etc.), because "it lacks consequentialist thinking". AI can scan a photo/object in 3 dimensions, but it can't see the 4th dimension: time. It can't see if a line in a photo was there when the photo was taken or if it has been added later. Real, good restoration work is not about making a photo look better (a lot of people misunderstand that part), it is mostly about reversing time for it, trying to make it look like it did when it was new and sometimes doing the same retouching or lighting work a photographer from that time could/would have done. AI is still a blunt tool painting with big strokes using a "digital roller", but good restaurations need to be done with a very fine brush. That is why humans are still the best tool for doing restorations. Sure, AI-aided tools (like all the tools in Photoshop) are great for human-guided micro-work on a photo restoration, but AI is pretty useless for big overall once-over works.
- I know how much you like all these new digital inventions, but they are still just tools, and any work is best done if you select the right tool for it. AI is not the right tool for restorations. Yet. --Cart (talk) 09:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment, I think we could take some points about this and put them in the FPC guideline. When I talked about purists in restoration I was thinking of myself. I think it could have been misinterpreted but I would never think badly of you, on the contrary, I admire you and that is why I invited you to this conversation. And btw, I want cite the Nolan Restoration of 2001 again to compare what is a well done work and something digital alteration that look better but its not a real restoration [1] Wilfredor (talk) 19:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think there's probably cases for generative AI models, but they're for things like "adding in some paper to fit this torn section that matches the other paper, or other cases where the thing being generated is far, far from the focus of the image. The bright spot upper left in File:Chief Joseph by Edward Sheriff Curtis.jpg where you want to match darkness and pattern might have AI applications, as the randomness screws with the tools you'd normally use. But don't use it to clean up the image. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:35, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

This is not anyone's fault, of course. Just feeling frustrated with some gear limitations... — Rhododendrites talk | 04:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- 4608 x 3456 pixels would be fine, but here the native surface has been divided by 2,82 = huge crop. Probably the bird was too far -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:13, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's not just the body, though that dates from 2015 and sensors have come on a long way since then. You are only using 300mm. When I used a crop frame body I needed my 400mm. I now have 500mm on full frame, but 400mm is OK. Here's a hummingbird using 400mm. I have stopped using my 1.4x extender as it is a waste of time on a zoom lens.

Many of the dates on this image would need to be updated before promotion. Both of the dates I changed in my last update, for example, need to be pushed.I went through and updated the dates for future telescopes, but we probably need some extra sets of eyes on the various translations (for example, I didn't know how to translate 2030s, so that date is only in the English text). We also likely need to add text to Arecebo to say (1963–2020) in the other languages (which is non-trivial for non-speakers of the various languages, and which needs manual checking for each language to make sure the new text fits).

- I've reviewed the file and fixed all issues I could recognize (I'm speaking English, Russian, and Hebrew, and with some help from translation tools could make fairly educated guesses for other Slavic langs there; for Chinese, I totally relied on Google Translate, and the changes I made were very minor). It would be great if someone could re-generate text2path stuff after Arecibo’s text was updated. Also, I see that the generated PNGs show some issues for James Webb and Gaia – looks like the subscripts there are breaking something. DmitTrix (talk) 09:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I'm torn, because I love the comparisons of scale, but I don't like the crowding or the overlapping text, so I wonder whether it might be better as a table, though I recognize the problem of FAST and the radio telescope in Arecibo being so much bigger than the others. This is definitely a good VI, but is the usefulness sufficient for it to be featured, or might we decline to feature it, for aesthetic reasons? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- It is not possible to show that much information in reduced space in another way. While it would be possible to create a table, the information would be lost, and we couldn't see the relative size, so we would miss the point of this file. Yann (talk) 09:58, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- OK, but does that make this an FP? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think it does for the amount of information provided and the very good execution. It was also just updated. Yann (talk) 10:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
