Info this image was already nominated, but not featured. The criticized errors were fixed, there is some unavoidable motion blur on the ship's mast because of the long exposure time.
Support It's near impossible to take a long exposure of lights over the water and boats, without noticing all the boats blur. I know what that's like :) this is a very well done example, lucky it's protected water and so calm. Nice. Penyulap☏11:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The lighting is a bit flat. That plus the off perspective with the piece of wall obscuring the corner of the fort, makes it rather hard to get a feeling of depth in the image. I suppose a different viewpoint would have been better. --Dschwen (talk) 16:51, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support A nice sharp portrait. Shame the beak is damaged (is that because it is a captive bird?) and not full body shot. Colin (talk) 15:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The falconer Ludger Kluthausen do not cut the beaks in his own falcon house in the Wildpark Neuhaus. See his own Harris's Hawk by his falcon house in the Wildpark Neuhaus. The beak by the Harris's Hawk is not damaged. I don't know what happened.--Michael Gäbler (talk) 18:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO that is not one of your best falcon portrayals (and you can do VERY well). Question I wonder why you choose a relatively low resolution. I guess the bird was sitting on the falconer hand, right? With regard to the shooting conditions I tend to vote with slight oppose. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The kestrel sat leaning forward in front of me and his legs were back. The depth of field was not large enough to represent the whole body and the legs sharp. Therefore, I contented myself with this Half length portrait of kestrels. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 19:34, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I belive you are right – what would be the appropriate procedure for cases like this? Concerning for the photograph itslef: I'm torn here. First of all, the subject is great and the composition is excellent. But then there is the high amount of mist/fog in the air. On the one hand this is – to some point – normal for aerial pictures covering a bigger distance and it makes the paraglider stand out against the background. But on the other hand this leads to the fact that huge parts of the image (everything but the paraglider) has this milky-white blanket all over it … --El Grafo (talk) 08:16, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've received here and in some other places comments about excessive posprocessing and surrealistic view. Here posprocessing really exists, but is not so much as you mention it. To prove it i gave you link to plain JPEG (conversion+resize only) and also link to RAW+XMP (sorry but xmp is made by Photoshop CC). This is shot in such way. Probably overexposing is present on the white building, but it has no visible texture, thus it is neglible. --Nino Verde (talk) 08:13, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No need, I believe you. It is excellent composition, but shades are pretty strange anyway, and for some reason I can't feel the depth of the picture. --Alex Florstein (talk) 21:36, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The plain JPEG doesn't have the depth issue and is not oversaturated. IMO, the unnatural oversaturation of the sky and the foreground vegetation is the main problem, and they are not present in the plain JPEG version. A secondary issue is that the clouds look like they have suffered from something like Clarity (LR term, I don't know what it's called in PS) so that they have dark halos around them. --Julian H. (talk/files) 08:24, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like it the way it is. I personally do not see the sky issue raised by Julian. The only thing which slightly distracts is the relatively old car in front of the building (a different car had been better). But all in all the composition is very good most notably the diagonal leading lines, the intergration of trees and bushes with a nice green tone, the street lamp at the right front and,... There had been much worse examples regarding saturation which got more support. --Tuxyso (talk) 14:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The building is taken in two-point perspective but the road looks one-point perspective. I think they don't get good feeling from this kind of composition mostly (imo).--Laitche (talk) 06:12, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Featured picture candidates/File:Plant cell cycle.svgCommons:Featured picture candidates/File:Plant cell cycle.svg
Info While both plant and animal cells are eukaryotes that undergo open mitosis, the two processes differ a lot. Plants, unable to divide through cleavage, do so by building a new cell wall across the middle the the cell. As such, they don't dismantle their secretory apparatus, and build a structure known as the phragmoplast which acts as scaffolding for the new cell wall. In addition, lacking centrioles, the nuclear envelope of a plant cell takes on the job of generating the mitotic spindle fibers.
Comment Maybe there should be more attention payed to the cell plate formation and maturation? That still is one of major differences between animal and plant cell divisions as much of the rest is rather similar. Currently it isn't that much noted out in the image what is plant cell specific. Also, it could be more clearly pointed out where to start looking at the image (i.e where the cycle "starts"). Kruusamägi (talk) 17:26, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weakOppose: Imo, that's just another typical planespotter picture. We have thousands like this and this very one doesn't really stand out in any way. The quality is good but not outstanding (there seems to be some kind of "halo" around the fuselage, sharpness it OK but not great …), crop could be a little bit tighter at the bottom, the background is dull and the crane at the right tends to disturb the composition. Maybe it's because I've seen too many pics like that and I'm getting bored of them, but for me there is very little "wow" in it. All in all, there's nothing really bad in this pic but it's not great either. --El Grafo (talk) 10:09, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice moment and light, but there's lot of noise and some sort of color banding on the water, sorry. --A.Savin21:09, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nearly Fixed. You are right. I reduced noice as far as possible (IMO), but the more I reduce, the more sharpness declines. As far as I can see, the only noise is in the background and mainly between the darker and lighter parts of the waves. I don´t know, wether this is caused by the small DOF or maybe the lens has passed its optimal image quality at maximum focus length. In my opinion the appeareance of colour banding in the lower left part has similar reasons. (I think this is what you meant(?).) --Caecilius Mauß (talk) 19:37, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I wouldn't describe the CA as "strong". This is a full-size image so you're going to spot things at 100%. The lighting and focus are very good and the pose better than the current article lead picture imo. Colin (talk) 16:42, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral CAs are marginal, I also do not see a compositional problem. But I am missing something special. It's a technically well done and very sharp studio shot, but imho the studio light does not create moodful light here justifying this photo becoming an FP. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:46, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose nice image, but the composition is too confusing. It seems like the fence seperates the pavement from the river, and so it seems odd that the swans and ducks are on the pavement side. In order to understand the image and the situation, I had to use Google Street View to understand how they got there (and I assume they are looking for food left on the pavement). Tomer T (talk) 10:23, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's not it. What is weird is that the fence seems to seperate the fence from the pavement, i.e. there is no access from the pavement to the river. If the strange stone floor in the bottom left of the image wasn't there, one could have seen that the fence doesn't seperate the pavement from the river, and that it leads to a path along the river (as can be seen from the link I gave to Google Street View).

Oppose Sorry, I'm not very fond of the composition with so much black sky (but that's not the reason I oppose). The images has a high and unnecessary noise level (why IS0 400?) and not a very high level of sharpness and details. I need a stronger "wow" to support a images with this technical quality.--ArildV (talk) 22:07, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice view, but I dislike the shadow. If the geocode is correct, it was taken towards north-east, so 14:00/15:00 would've been optimal. In full view, again, it looks rather soft. Unfortunately, it's often a problem with your photos, no idea why. --A.Savin21:01, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose --Yes, the pov is really nice but per A.Savin the image is soft (specific to lens?) while there are post-processing problems: left quarter of the sky is posterized and there are white halos in several areas of high contrast. Sting (talk) 20:51, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Strong banding in left area of the sky, oversharpened and very tight composition around the upper edge. It's a pity because the resolution and the subject are amazing. --Julian H. (talk/files) 14:12, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What I believe you consider banding is the pattern of the clouds that day. I have it on several pictures taken that moment. The sharpening is really a matter of taste. I don't like it either (anyone can do it after downloading the picture) but many reviewers keep asking for it... Thanks for the review anyhow --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 15:29, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry Wolfgang, I have to agree with Julian. Color banding is there, imho it could be fixed with denoising the sky. But the main problem for me is oversharpening. --Ivar (talk) 19:06, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info: Reverted to original version! Mathias - I guess you're right. Personally I like my original image a bit better, even though there might be some disturbing elements on the left side. So I'll keep giving it a shot with this one. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:26, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
True, a two segment panorama could have helped - maybe. It's difficult, though, to find a really perfect spot for taking pictures of the bridge from this side of the river. Just have a look at Street View using the image's geo reference... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 14:02, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I see the points about the grass at the left, but I think that it follows the border of the image in a nice enough way, to not really do anything negative. --heb [TCE] 14:45, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
weakOppose Quality ok but not at highest level (see right side), but specially the crop is spoiling it. To me it is something in the middle of the way between a detail and an overview picture. You can make something better out of it Poco219:52, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm open to suggestions. Maybe a crop like this - focusing on details of the scenery and also paying more attention to 'formalities' like the rule of thirds would be better. Detail of Ponte Vecchio at dusk I'm better not going to offer this as an alternative though, considering there are only a couple of hours left in this voting period - and also because this image would be a major variation of the original nomination. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 21:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. The framing is a little bit awkward (the lamp on the left is cut off, and the lamps on the right could be positioned better), and slightly unsharp. OK overall though. --King of♥♦♣ ♠ 04:35, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Magnificent specimen indeed. Only one thing bothers me, why f/29? Lens diffraction kicks in and overall sharpness suffers from it. --Ivar (talk) 13:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
SupportLe plus Wow; c’est de trouver une image, faite par soit, alors que l'on ne s'y attend pas. Merci à Tomer T. Pourquoi F29 ? C’est une bonne question. Ce n’est pas une image de studio. Je suis au pied de l’arbre et la chenille sur l’écorce est difficile à voir. J’avais dans mon sac une feuille de papier et j’ai déposé la chenille dessus. Là on la voit bien. Mais la chenille n’a pas aimé et s’est mise à parcourir le papier. La photo est prise la chenille en mouvement et comme je travaille en manuel la mise au point est faite par la position de l’appareil. F29 est un bon compromis. Je suis un débutant en photographie du vivant, j’ai passé mon temps à photographier des fossiles, des animaux naturalisé ou des œufs… çà me change beaucoup.
The more Wow, that is to find an image made by either, while we do not expect. Tomer T.Why F29? That's a good question. This is not a studio picture. I'm at the foot of the tree and the the caterpillar on bark is difficult to see. I had in my bag a piece of paper and I put the caterpillar above. Here we see well. But the caterpillar did not like and started to browse the paper. The photo is taken in the caterpillar movement and as I work in manual focus is made by the position of the device. F29 is a good compromise. I am a beginner in photography of the living, I spent my time photographing fossils, stuffed animals or eggs here ... change me. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:42, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm not sure whether it's easy or even possible to find a better perspective, but the bridge, for me, covers too much of the building.

Please look into the description: The subject is the whole square, the architectural ensemble with the statue, but it is not the main motive: Place of Theodor Heuss in Bremerhaven with statue of the former mayor of Bremen Dr. Johann Smidt who is the founder of Bremerhaven A contra vote because the statue is too small is imho debatable - but for sure it is your decision. --Tuxyso (talk) 11:10, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok but the composition is not helped by the "train track" paving which automatically steers the eye towards the statue, hence why I assume that the statue should have had a greater influence on the image. Flickrworker (talk) 21:58, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice perspective through the nice 10mm objective, on the other side I don't see any wow or originality when looking at it. Both, the statue in the center and the background are not special to me. If the background would be more symmetric and the 2 people waking not shown I could have supported it, sorry. Poco220:03, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your argument, but I am of another opinion. Not every city is Paris or London - it is only Bremerhaven :). IMHO the place with statue in the center is photographed in the best possible way. I do not really see why this square is less interesting than the plenty of squares you've nominate here.

Oppose Not really dark enough to see the subject although the sky is cool. The light from the building to the left detracts a great deal and overall it's quite boring. Sorry. Flickrworker (talk) 16:58, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose First: The photo has a very high quality particularly for a sport shot. Sport shots are are ofter quite noisy and have low resolution (due to massive noise reduction and/or downscaling). But I am missing something special with this photo here. More a technically autofocus and shutter delay test than a featured picture. I am with Klaus that the background is unfortunate and a bit distracting. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support. I like it but perhaps the contrast between the lit front and the shadowed side could be evened out a little? It's a bit jarring. Daniel Case (talk) 22:44, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Good quality and nice building, but I dislike the tight crop at three sides, and the shadows (even if they have been lightened). --A.Savin10:08, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Something about the colors just don't look right to me - too purple, maybe? I'll support if the color is fixed. --King of♥♦♣ ♠ 06:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Info This is a new update with more green, less purple and less contrast. I used Photoshop. I thank Tomer and all of the other for help and advice. You are a good team. Please check the picture if it meets your expectations. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 00:25, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I had my initial suspicions that there might have been an overcorrection towards green, but I attributed it to a monitor issue (my monitor has a slight blue-green tint). However, per below it looks like I'm not alone, so Oppose for now. The original photographer should produce a re-edited version from the raw that strikes a balance between the two current versions on the green/magenta scale. -- King of♥♦♣ ♠ 23:11, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose - The edit has lost the sRGB colour profile from the image. This is not acceptable for a Featured Picture, particularly when the original had one (sRGB). This will cause the colours to be wrong on some computers/devices -- e.g., the grass far too green. Also I don't think we should fiddle with colour on the JPG when we have the photographer here with access to the raw file and a professional colour software (photoshop) with which to do it. In addition, the other EXIF data has been lost. Please don't use "Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery" to edit featured picture nominations. Colin (talk) 19:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Tomer, sorry that's so negative. You do a lot of great work here. The flaw with that edit was the tool, not your intention. I don't think that program is suitable for editing FPs if it removes colour profiles and EXIF data. Colin (talk) 20:49, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We already have a Featured Picture of this site. The current nomination does not look to me significantly different, nor better. I think we should begin a delist process of the previous FP before featuring this one.--Jebulon (talk) 23:33, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination Well, thanks for the comment. I have never understood why sometimes this kind of rule applies and others it doesn't but will take back the nomination Poco209:40, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the another picture from Pudelek shows the lateral side, mine the front side and it has non distracting people giving a feeling of the size. Still, after you comment nobody else voted or commented, so I guess that the picture is not as good as I thought, although I travelled to Lithuania explicitly to visit this site...Poco214:31, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Very good technical quality, and the photographer at the window is interesting (is this part of a "Wiki takes-event"?), but: The pond and the benches are the main subjects imho, and both would have benefited of more room to the left. Very little can be revealed from the shadows. I stick to neutral.V-wolf (talk) 21:57, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment First and foremost she's playing a tennis shot. So it's pretty pathetic to decline for an unflattering pose. Secondly she's playing the shot the focus is on the ball and racquet not the eyes, which in this case help direct the viewer as she is looking at the object. Flickrworker (talk) 17:24, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We have lots of sports photos. If I was an athlete I wouldn't like to be portrayed like this on the front page. She is clearly not doing her best forehand swing. Besides, the focus plane lies on her a-shirt. Other issues: The ball-like logo is drawing attention from the subject. It's very grainy for a daytime shot with a 1d. V-wolf (talk) 21:00, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"If I was an athlete I wouldn't like to be portrayed like this on the front page." Sorry but that is near bollocks if you have seen some of the images that the BBC have used in its articles of tennis players. Sorry to be sharp but I think that is worth mentioning on that specific point. Flickrworker (talk) 23:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK I've looked my French up and if I change wow to special you should understand the meaning. For me the picture is not special enough due to knowing when in the etape you took the photo. For me it is not special because they were not racing at that moment in time, they were messing around travailing to kilometre 0. Others are free to support for technical reasons or to even go against me. Flickrworker (talk) 21:19, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice picture, good informative value, perfect for Wikipedia use. Personally I don't think it's necessary that the rider is actually racing to have a good photo. Support for FP, although some parts of the picture are slightly overexposed. -- MJJR (talk) 20:44, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Just an ordinary image with not-so-good crop and some overexposion. Car in the downright corner doesn't suite to the image as well. Kruusamägi (talk) 21:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm always glad to have more action shots, so am a bit forgiving, but I agree with the others that this is not special enough. I would prefer this photo to be taken from further in front of him rather than behind. --99of9 (talk) 01:44, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
