Support -- Poco2 13:14, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Support Although, why if the main subjects are the animals, is there too background? Ezarateesteban 14:50, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Ezarate: Because I wasn't looking for a closeup of the flamingos but rather wanted to put them in context and couldn't avoid including that nice snowed mountain in the background in the composition. Poco2 16:22, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Support Kruusamägi (talk) 15:58, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Support @Ezarate: not a background: a very successfull composition.--Jebulon (talk) 16:23, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Oppose A composition with so many horizontal lines is not well served by a vertical orientation. Daniel Case (talk) 19:46, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Mild/moderate
Support - At full size, large parts of the background are more unsharp than necessary for compositional reasons, but it's really not bad: Everything is visible, and the photo looks good at full-page size. Full-page size is pretty small, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:30, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- I should say, I don't disagree with Daniel's remark, despite my mild/moderate support vote. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:06, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Neutral excellent quality and featurable scene - I can't really come to terms with the rather tight, vertically oriented composition though. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:17, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Oppose I agree with Daniel Case. Natural scene in almost 1:2 size doesnt work (in this case), upper half is defocused, so i would cut to bottom half into pano mode, with that grass on right corner away. But i have feeling you did some shots of flamingos also. --Mile (talk) 06:26, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment Guys, I have uploaded tons of panoramas of this area, you seem to like them, but are portrait versions that bad? I find this composition balanced and pleasant to my eyes with enough elements to guide my eyes around. The other day I also got the feedback from Colin that for a picture with lots of horizontal lines a portrait version the best of all is. Poco2 12:09, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- I think the reason I liked the portrait File:Mina de Chuquicamata, Calama, Chile, 2016-02-01, DD 121.JPG was that portrait emphasised the depth/height and the the crop at the sides left it feeling endless rather than the nomination image which fully encapsulated the whole quarry. It was more abstract, which also appeals to me. But that image might also have worked in square or landscape format provided the lines ran to the edge of the frame and appeared endless -- you just didn't have an identical image that was in those formats. I haven't looked at this one in detail yet, but I see the grass on the bottom right as distracting, and the asymmetrical crop of the mountain is unusual but possibly interesting. If I crop the grass out, it's much more pleasing. I'll have a look again tonight. -- Colin (talk) 13:30, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment
New version uploaded with an improved crop (got rid of the bush in the right bottom corner) Poco2 18:53, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Support Its a strange picture. Not perfect (e.g. the distant flamingos are cropped arbitrarily on the right) but I like that it has some artistic arrangement, rather than a straightforward landscape or animal photo. -- Colin (talk) 22:12, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

- Well, first I though it might be the lens, but the "Bigma" used here is actually quite well-regarded not only for its sharpness. There are some halos along some of the sharper borders (e.g. tongue, chin), which suggests comparably strong processing. --El Grafo (talk) 11:38, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Neutral I really want to support this, as for some reason I absolutely love all that … Slime? … as well as the "pose". But it looks over-sharpened in full size, and that's still noticeable at smaller sizes. I also somewhat agree with Mile concerning the composition, but that alone wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. --El Grafo (talk) 11:38, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Oppose At first, this photo made me smile a bit, so I couldn't resist to examine it. In fact, the quality at full resolution is poor, but above all I see serious issues regarding the postprocess. Look: the end resolution is 5269x3500 px = 18.44 mpix. According to EXIF, the picture was taken with a Nikon D300S. The sensor of this camera has a maximum resolution of 4288x2848 px = 12.3 mpix... I cannot imagine this kind of photo to be any kind of stitched. Digital zooming / upscaled? Sorry, it is absolutely a no-go for me, even far from QI. Not to rescue. Strong oppose.

Info 17th century pipe organ in the church of the Monastery of Santa María de Huerta. The monastery is located in the village of Santa María de Huerta, province of Soria, Castille and León, Spain. The first stone of the monastery was laid by the king Alfonso VII of Castile in 1179 and the building was expanded in the 16th century thanks to the help of the kings Charles I and Philip II. The church was founded by Alfonso VIII of Castile in the 12th century but undergoed some changes in the 18th century. All by me, Poco2 20:49, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Support Technically, it’s very good. As for composition, I’d be still happier with a slightly angular view from the right, because of the non-symmetric surrounding making this composition too heavy on the left-hand side. --Kreuzschnabel 03:59, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
- Well, this is an organ of more than five centuries, clearly is in the process of deterioration and IMHO what you call asymmetry is a visual effect created by the railing on the left side. --The Photographer (talk) 16:37, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

CommentThat’s why I suggested to take a pic from a more angular view. While we cannot build another railing to symmetrize the scenery, we still can choose our point of view for a balanced composition. --Kreuzschnabel 07:04, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Support - The composition looks OK to me. You folks so often object to centered compositions that are symmetrical. I really don't understand what your objection to this composition is. And angled composition sounds to me like the photo by A.Savin that got so much opposition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment Not sure if I am included in "you folks" but I’ll still try to answer that. As for me, there is no general bias for or against symmetrical compositions. It depends on what’s in the pic. A heavy, immobile structure as this is well served by a symmetric composition, while a fast moving object or creature isn’t. Imagine the camera moved 1 or 2 metres to the right here. Would make the composition perfect in my eyes, but might ruin it entirely in yours. Matter of taste, and personal reception of images. – Which Savin shot do you refer to? The "Palace of Winds"? I opposed that for busy foreground, not for angled view. Generally, please trust in anyone here to consider their votings as carefully as you do yours. Sometimes, we just cannot explain why the one image works while the other doesn’t. So, "does not wow me" is a plausible reason in here to oppose while it’s hard to put in words why. --Kreuzschnabel 07:20, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Neutral - I don't find this painting very interesting artistically, if this is a good reproduction, so I think I'll abstain from voting on whether a feature is justified. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:55, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Unless LivioAndronico can explain how this image passes the guidelines for Artworks. The painter, Stefano Tofanelli, does not qualify as a "major artist" (he gets two short paragraphs on Wikipedia). Clearly we aren't going to feature all paintings on Commons, otherwise there seems no point in having FP for paintings. This is a small (9MP) photo that is a bit noisy too. The biggest problem is that compared to Getty Images this image has had the saturation maxed out. Livio, this image has zero educational value if the colours are not faithful. -- 10:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC) Colin comment who forget sign --The Photographer (talk) 11:39, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- BTW, FP size requeriment is 2 MP, about color saturation and WB is another problem --The Photographer (talk) 11:39, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm well aware of that, and if you can find a 2MP painting that has passed PF in the last several years, I'd be amazed. That it is 9MP isn't a fail, but it isn't anything in it's merit either. -- Colin (talk) 12:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Currently there are established requirements, I agree that the picture is taken at the highest possible resolution of the camera, however, you can not demand a higher size for a camera that can not do that, because you're forced to buy new cameras and that's money. Size is important, however, is not everything. I can show you a big quantity 6 MB painting already FP and yes you could use another personal requeriment, however, IMHO epithets arguments should not exceed the FP requeriments pre-established. I respect your opinion, however, it is your opinion and when you use "we" in your arguments is a clear lack of consideration for those who not think the same way. --The Photographer (talk) 13:22, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- You have misunderstood my point about the size. As I said in my reply above, the 9MP comment isn't a reason for my oppose, but isn't something to get excited about either -- it isn't going to be the thing that helps an otherwise average image become stellar. You know that judging is a balance of good and bad aspects, and the resolution here is "meh". You are well aware that we have many many very high resolution images of paintings, taken professionally, with hopefully professional standards of colour/brightness accuracy. Our amateur efforts have to compete with that, because that's what "finest" means. The only "we" in my comment is about this forum not featuring all paintings on Commons, so "we" isn't absolutely correct and "I" would be inappropriate. Of course it is only my opinion, and I would appreciate you striking out the nasty comment about "clear lack of consideration for those who not think the same way". The 2MP is not a "requirement" in the sense that once passed then no complaints can be made about resolution, and I'm surprised that someone here for as long as you choose to argue about that because you know full well it doesn't and never has worked that way. It's a lower limit to give nominators a clear idea of what is likely to generate an FPX. That's all. I don't "demand a higher size". Please don't put words in my mouth. If this image had accurate colours, was noise-free, was sharp and the artwork passed our criteria for FP (which this doesn't) then I wouldn't have opposed. Anyway, the camera used is 6000x4000 and this image is 3400x2665 so this is only 60% size and not even sharp. -- Colin (talk) 14:44, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- What is your minimum image size recomendation/requeriment. ? --The Photographer (talk) 14:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- There is no rule "If an image is X MP then that is acceptable for FP" and nor should there be. So I don't have a minimum. And please, I have now for the third time had to state that the 9MP is not a reason for my oppose. Can we take this somewhere else, as it is irrelevant to this image. -- Colin (talk) 15:12, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- BTW, FP size requeriment is 2 MP, about color saturation and WB is another problem --The Photographer (talk) 11:39, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Question Compared to the rendering on Getty Images, this reproduction shows overdone colours and a completely different tone. The other version strikes me much more realistic, but since I don’t have access to the original painting, maybe the nominator could say something about colours? --Kreuzschnabel 14:11, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Only if the nominator show his RAW file we could imagine the "original colors". --The Photographer (talk) 14:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- A raw file is not calibrated neutral either. It contains no information about the colour temperature of the lighting -- this must either be guessed by the software/camera or set by the user using their own judgement. It also contains no information about the correct brightness and contrast, so the image may be under-exposed for example. The only way to be sure is to use ColorChecker and ideally to have control over the lighting, which is what professionals do. Failing that, we can use other copies of the image as a reference. -- Colin (talk) 15:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- I generally use a rudimentary ColorChecker Passport created by myself, however, it will be a photographer interpretation or camera representation based on internal algorithm of revelation, printer settings, camera LCD configuration, PC monitor setting and quality....A person who lived his entire life in the Caribbean may have less sensitivity to light than another person from certain Scandinavian countries. Some populations of completely separate cultures, and unrelated, living in high relief, such as Nepal and Bolivia, using live similar colors in their daily attire. --The Photographer (talk) 17:38, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Only if the nominator show his RAW file we could imagine the "original colors". --The Photographer (talk) 14:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Colors seem off to me ... honestly, I never thought I'd be faulting a painting for CA (look at the main subject's nose) and while I was going to wait to see if this was the way it was, I couldn't find too many other versions online to compare. I was going to go with a neutral, but per the concerns of Colin and Kreuzschnabel above I don't think I need to defer. Daniel Case (talk) 18:24, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Support - N 3 14 15 92 65 has been posting some very interesting landscape pictures in Quality Image Candidates. I think this is probably the best I've seen from this photographer so far. It's a composition that presents a variety of colors, textures and forms with a good dramatic sky - perhaps just a bit blown out where clouds are in front of the sun, but I really think that's not bad and the photo is worthy of a feature. I don't know whether some of you might find the rocks in the foreground unattractive, but to me, they're interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Oppose It's a very beautiful place but the image doesn't fit for an FP to me. The rocks at the bottom cover more than a third of the image and also marginilise the lake, which seems to appear as a minor detail in the whole composition. There are also technical issues: the colours seem pretty washed off; the sky is blown and the part where the clouds are in front of the sun is overexposed, while the cliffs to the immediate right are underexposed because of the lack of lighting, thus making a striking transition; some areas of the image are unsharp. I'd prefer an image with more vivid colours taken from a better angle.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:08, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment - Fair enough. I appreciate your detailed evaluation. We'll see what other people think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:28, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Support - Considering this is a shot against the sun the tones are simply amazing, colors reflect what high(er) alpine scenery can look like (not everything is an oversaturated chocolate ad with purple cows). Maybe the composition could be improved a bit but I'm not sold on the idea. KennyOMG (talk) 01:34, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Oppose I suggest to change the format at least in 16:9 even a bit more in order to crop the too dominant appearing pieces of rock below. --Hockei (talk) 16:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

OpposeThe category contains numerous images of a more interesting viewing angle and lighting, albeit not in that quality. This nomination offers high quality but the composition, viewpoint and lighting don’t look very special to me. Without wanting to personally insult the author I’d call this a high-quality tourist shot. Fine image, definitely QI and maybe VI, but not special enough to feature IMHO. Maybe the foreground is just too dominant. --Kreuzschnabel 08:28, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Per Kreuzschnabel. Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment - I'm surprised by the level of opposition to this photo. Alexander, I hope I haven't unintentionally embarrassed you by nominating this photo. No offense to anyone for saying this, I hope, nor any disrespect for your views, but at the time I nominated this photo, it seemed obviously excellent to me; otherwise, I wouldn't have nominated it without checking with Alexander first for his thoughts on it. I don't see any reason to change my opinion, either, except inasmuch as I can't consider its excellence a consensus opinion. But let me say this: Canaletto did excellent tourist paintings of Venice. He was merely one of the greatest of many painters who painted typical picturesque scenes for tourists who wanted a picture to reminisce on their trip. Do you think that makes Canaletto's work not excellent? I wouldn't argue that this is on the level of Canaletto, but it's a digital photo, not an oil on canvas, so the medium is not subject to a one-to-one comparison. But to the extent the analogy holds, I think that an excellent tourist shot, if that's what this is, deserves a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, @Ikan Kekek: Thanks, no offence taken of course. I like the photo, but I also know that with a busy foreground like this, it will be difficult in FPC. --A.Savin 14:00, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment After all, that’s the educational value of FPC for nominators in my eyes. As it is, I consider all of my nominations featurable, however my latest ones have been severely opposed. While some see this as a personal insult, I rather see it as a chance to learn which images do wow others and which don’t. That’s why I vote about others’ images how I honestly feel about them (assuming others are willing to learn the same way as myself). Sometimes I have been quite surprised by the outcoming too. --Kreuzschnabel 13:46, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Comment Every superfast phenomenon (Shoots etc) are made with long time exposures in dark rooms. Not the exposure time of the camera is important, the flash time does it. 1/40 seems in fact very short for a camera exposure - in fact one second and longer would be normal. --Hubertl 10:24, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Info St. Bartholomä in south-eastern Bavaria is an iconic church on the western shore of Lake Königssee within Berchtesgaden National Park and can only be reached by boat.

Comment I’d love to give support for originality here. It just seems overprocessed (maybe can be helped by re-processing). The sky shows some reddish speckles to the right, and the yellow flower has some strange fully-saturated channel-blown-like green spots on it. --Kreuzschnabel 11:22, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Done You're right, it was overprocessed to some degree. I made a completely new version from the raw file and I think, the result is much better (also the small gravevine is more detailed). --Llez (talk) 17:46, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment Thanks, much better on the grapevine itself. Being such a small detail, the slight CA on the surrounding stones is somewhat irritating. Is there a way to get them a bit sharper and fix the red seams? I know it’s hard on this image but since the eyecatcher is such a small bit of it, every unsharpness or colour fringing would distract even stronger than usual. --Kreuzschnabel 04:06, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Info (Pictogram voting info.svg Info),The need to understand the aerodynamic phenomena, in as close as possible to reality, driven to achieve a large wind tunnel at atmospheric pressure, in Meudon. The S1 wind tunnel for testing of aircraft in real size was built from 1932 to 1934. Through the large dimensions of the test section, S1 can experiment had real 12 m wingspan, with the engine running and the driver on board. Until the 1970s, it is mainly aircraft (the Caravelle and the Concorde) but also cars (the 4 CV and the Beetle), trains, architectural elements, who have gone through the experimental chamber to be developed or improved (maximum speed 180 km / h). This 1933 building absorbs 7,000 m3 of reinforced concrete, 700 tons of iron, 1000 m3 of wood, and requires the establishment of 566 implementation plans (see old pictures on http://www.anciensonera.fr/?q=node/17).

- @Kreuzschnabel: With things like en:Template:CSS image crop, I think it's generally better to have the more-or-less uncropped be the one promoted, unless there's major issues, e.g. the Billy Strayhorn pic a while back where the closeness of the camera made the knees look very large and odd if uncropped.

Support excellent quality in this year. --Ralf Roleček 23:23, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, there were methods of obtaining finer grain back in the days – we can see that in the portraits that are nominated here quite regularly. But those are studio shots where you could choose slow films and large formats. For stuff like this, you need a fast shutter speed, so I'd guess something like Tri-X was used (400 ASA was considered fast at that time). A mobile camera probably doesn't hurt either, so probably 135 film (the aspect ratio seems to support this). Now keep in mind that the default print size for 135 film was 4×6 (10×15 cm or A6), which is smaller than the default preview size of our file description pages. This one still looks quite good at, say, 1280px on the long side. Based on my (admittedly very limited) personal experience with B&W 35mm film photography, I'm leaning towards
supporting this as one of our finest 1950s/1960s action shots. --El Grafo (talk) 14:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

- Ok, thanks for those notes, Mile. I've uploaded a new version. The issue on the left was rather a cloning problem than a WB problem.

Comment - I'm not sure I feel able to support this for a feature. The statue is clearly photographed, but the crop is extremely close on the Buddha's right side (at the viewer's left). The glary white light is also not the best background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:27, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Technically, it’s certainly QI and VI as a close-up. However, I fail to see anything special here to be featured as for composition, lighting, or perspective. --Kreuzschnabel 11:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose per Ikan and Kreuzschnabel. The pure white background not only doesn't serve it well, it seems unnatural ... other photos of this statue suggest there's sky behind it, and I think that would have made a better background if the light was at the right angle.

Pretty strong support per Code. I think this is an excellent example of how light quality can influence the message of an image. Take this grumpy face and body language and put it in a darker setting with softer, colder light and you get a character from "Game of Thrones" who has just learned that he lost an army or something like that. Put him in this warm natural light from a low evening sun (which looks perfectly fine and not over-saturated at all to me) and you get a dramatically different story. Is he really grumpy? Maybe he's just tired, maybe he's actually enjoying the last rays of sunlight after a long day of herding his sheep. Then realize that he's actually a writer and wonder what's going on in his head … --El Grafo (talk) 09:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, this I didn't know. Why was there no info on Commons talk:Deceased contributors? --A.Savin 13:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)Comment I just wanted to examine the picture, as I like it in preview. But I wondered why it had no categories at all. After I learned that the photographer himself deliberately removed the categories for unknown reasons, I'm not anymore willing to review this or any other picture by this "author"... --A.Savin 12:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Support - My point: This isn't a super-zoomed photo of a single bird, so it can't compete in that respect with pictures in which we can see every feather, but it shows the birds in their habitat, and I like the shapes of the tree branches as well as those of the vultures and consider this a very good composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:57, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Certainly QI but the composition looks rather random to me, the leftmost bird being so close to the frame while there’s plenty of room to the right. Maybe a crop would emphasize the birds sufficiently to make up for the cut branches (for not fitting into the frame there’s just too much of them visible). Pity most of the birds’ heads are in shadow. --Kreuzschnabel 05:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry but, despite the image's quality, there's nothing else that makes it of particularly high value. The shot seems to have been randomly made and the description is too vague to indicate on anything specifically important. The remote controls left on the bed spoil the composition, the figures at the top left are dark, and the cropped objects at the vertical sides are unfortunate. I'm also not sure about the distance and the vertical framing.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 19:49, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

- I can not remove the remote control, it is very common in Brazilian favelas (in 99% of cases) have a system of cable television, is an identifying symbol of the favelas have an antenna outside and this control is part of it.

Info Pobiti Kamani, Varna province, Bulgaria. Pobiti Kamani is considered the only desert in Bulgaria and one of few found in Europe and is a natural landmark in Bulgaria since the 1930s. The desert consists of sand dunes and several groups of natural rock formations on a total area of 13 square kilometres (5.0 sq mi). The formations are mainly stone columns between 5–7 metres (16–23 ft) high and from 0.3–3 metres (0.98–9.84 ft) thick. There are a number of theories regarding the phenomenon's origin. The pioneering hypothesis can be divided roughly into two groups: suggesting an organic (coral activity) or abiotic (prismatic weathering and desertification of the rocks, formation of sand and limestone concretions, or lower Eocene bubbling reefs) origin.

Oppose - This is a beautiful view, but I don't find the composition as good as in the other dune buggy picture below. In the other picture, the ground is more nearly level and its color contrasts beautifully at right angles with the blue sky and with the ocean in the background. Here, we have a great view, but the single dune buggy and the large amount of nearly featureless sand seems incongruous with a middleground of pastel-colored buildings, a very active sky and a background of an arcing elevated highway, city skyline and green coastal hills. I would actually like this photo better if there were no dune buggy, no people, and much less sand. Also, whatever the parallel lined structure to the left of the dune buggy is, I find it distracting. So, to sum up: Interesting, good picture with great middleground and background but problematic foreground, and therefore, to me, questionable for a feature.
I haven't decided whether to oppose yet, however.-- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:49, 8 June 2016 (UTC)Neutral It’s certainly nice yet I tend to oppose mostly per Ikan. Colour balance is off IMHO, the sky is too blueish. Colours of car and village look more like a painting, a bit washed-out and channel-blown (the red top of the lady in the car). Many white areas look blown. All in all this is rather a work of art than an educational image of informative character for encyclopedial use. I wonder if it’s stronger when all the featureless parts are cropped out (see annotation), the framing strikes me a bit "too tall". --Kreuzschnabel 05:33, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Support - I find this a wonderful cityscape of a cavernous space in a photo that has a long horizontal view and also quite strong verticals. All the elements create a very pleasant rhythm for the eyes. I hope no-one dismisses this as "too busy" before looking all around the picture frame and seeing whether in this case, busy works. To me it does in a pretty big way, especially at full-page size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:55, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
Support No, it's not too busy. Or at least not so much that its busyness overwhelms the aesthetic pleasures of this image that you have already noted so adequately as to not require any repetition on my part. I will add only that it deepens my appreciation of IKEA. Daniel Case (talk) 18:50, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment - I laughed at your remark on IKEA. Glad you like the photo! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment. My first thought looking at this is that it's a shame that it's not more symmetrical. The view is looking slightly diagonally across the scene, and this has the effect of tilting the horizontal lines. The most obvious effect is the street lights hanging at the bottom of the frame, which have been tilted by the perspective. It could be corrected in post, but would have been better if the photographer aligned it better to begin with IMO. Diliff (talk) 15:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- I hadn't really thought about that. Arild, any comment? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for nomination and comments! The street is not straight, perhaps you can say that it is a symmetrical photo of a nonsymmetrical scene. I think the camera is pointing in the same direction as the left and right buildings in the foreground, and it also gives a balance between left and right side. As you can see from the map, there are only one footbridge above the street that it is possible to shoot from. I also like this urban "canyon", so I don't wont to move the camera more to the left. Furthermore, I don't think the street lights is parallel to the street in the first place. To summarize; although they are somewhat unfortunate I don't think the street lights is a big problem and I think there are stronger reasons to choose this composition.

- Lieber --Freund Kreuzschnabel Erlauben Sie mir Bitte meine Eigener Hinsicht zu äussern über dieser sehr gute Aufnahme.

The subject is fairly standard but representative and strong evocative one of the country life. --Isasza (talk) 19:24, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining, and sorry for my (maybe too) harsh words. Unfortunately, Featured Pictures is not about showing correct colours or being fairly sharp. Try Quality Images instead. It’s not about funny pictures either (by the way, I don’t see a two-headed cow here, it’s clearly two cows standing in a line, no deception). --Kreuzschnabel 19:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

). His original image is 3,500 x 2,549, the same as this file and with the same EXIF data. He explains that the photograph is in focus but could not be made sharper due to the speed of the game and necessary shutter speed. As the event was indoors, there needed to be a high ISO and as this was a real sports event rather than a composition, options such as using high powered lights were impossible.

Altogether a straightforward, well-done sports shot but nothing outstanding for me. I strongly suggest to crop out the bottom part to get rid of the distracting white line. --Kreuzschnabel 07:59, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose per Kreuzschnabel. The white line didn't bother me, but as for the rest, even if I look at the photo at full-page size, in which the subjects are clear enough, the fact that they're in shadow makes this less than one of the most outstanding pictures on the site, in my opinion, even though it's still a good picture. Also, for my taste, the crowd is too blurred, but that didn't even have to figure in my decision. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:39, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Insufficient DoF, most of the main subject is unsharp (even its head!). Distracting background/surrounding. Nice shot but not outstanding to feature IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel 07:52, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose - My first impulse was to oppose this picture, but I thought I'd look again on another day before making my mind up. I don't have anything against "busy" backgrounds if the composition works, but in this case, the background distracts this viewer from the mantis and part of the prey is cut off by an unsharp vine in the foreground. Per Kreuzschnabel's point, perhaps if the background and foreground weren't both bokeh, the composition might add up to me. As it is, this is certainly a good enough capture of the mantis (look at its facial expression!) to be a Quality Image and a Valued Image, but while I respect that, I don't think the composition is good enough for a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:58, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, I am not convinced. As for composition, I’d prefer a wider angle here, showing where the canyon to the left leads to. As for quality, well, of course I wasn’t present when the frame was taken but contrast looks overdone to me, so does sharpness, and the brown grass on the left apparently suffered from noise reduction. Taking into account the relatively small pixel size for a static motif, I think this does not reach FP threshold, though it’s really nice. --Kreuzschnabel 06:54, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment - This is properly a Valued Image, and also a Quality Image. If I had my druthers, I wouldn't feature this kind of photo, in which part of a bird is inordinately blurred, not for sound compositional reasons, but for technical reasons having to do with the tradeoffs one currently still may have to make when taking a closeup picture. Nor do I really like this kind of close-in bokeh, though it certainly could be worse. Most of the bird is quite sharp and beautiful, but that's not enough for me to support a feature. The only reason I'm not opposing is that if everyone else unanimously agrees the photo should be featured, I have no interest in slowing down its progress. Also, while I've said my piece here, I certainly don't oppose this photo as much as previous nominees in which a much larger percentage of the subject was inordinately blurred or the bokeh was vertiginous. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:53, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose per Ikan. The unsharpness is distracting, and the bird's coloration works well to protect it from predators but, alas, also makes it stand out less in its environment, and thus this photograph. Daniel Case (talk) 19:13, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose - Until I looked at this picture at full-page size, I was thinking I wouldn't find the composition good enough to support, but at full-page size, I like the circular movement and the church moderately, so maybe it's good enough on that basis. However, at full size, the focus seems a bit soft. I also find that the dull light doesn't help enough. So while I respect what's good about this photo, I tend to think it isn't outstanding enough for a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:38, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose - Very colorful, of course. I wasn't sure whether I was convinced by the composition, but I didn't even have to decide about that in order to oppose this, because there are several very unsharp areas at full size, and the size is certainly adequate but not so huge that ignoring this degree of unsharpness should be considered on that basis. So I'm sorry to say that I think this photo fails on quality alone. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:03, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Quality issues, per Ikan. The 70-200 f/4 isn't the sharpest lens at 200mm, but this photo seems to show some sort of lens misalignment as well. Which is unfortunate, because it's a good abstract and the colours are nice. -- Thennicke (talk) 14:32, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Strong oppose Other criteria aside, content and file format don't match: This is not at true SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). It is just a raster graphics file embedded in a SVG file as binary data → tagged it {{BadSVG}}. Looks like it might have been created in a vector graphics application though, so I suspect that something might have gone wrong when saving the file (or maybe Pixbay messed up?). In that case, it should be re-uploaded as a true vector graphic in SVG. Otherwise, a raster graphics format like PNG would be more appropriate. --El Grafo (talk) 10:54, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Nice scenery but the leftmost third is entirely unsharp. Snow fields blown, green on fellside lacks detail. The house is crisp sharp but that does not make the shot outstanding in my eyes, that would require crisp sharp mountains too. Rather focus on the background, the house is still within DoF at f/8 or f/11. Is this 12 mpix frame cropped or downscaled? I’d prefer a landscape framing as well, in case of crop perhaps thats possible. --Kreuzschnabel 06:59, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment A couple of good questions: 1) I chose to take this shot in portrait orientation. This may have been a mistake but I hoped to avoid perspective correction in post processing. Holding my camera perpendicular and still catching a good portion of the sky at the same time was impossible with landscape framing. 2) Why isn't everything crisp? Honestly, I don't know. At f/8, 20mm pretty much everything should be sharp in theory, no matter where the focus actually is (I did focus on the house here). Maybe it was the polarizer? I can't offer any explanation. Still, background sharpness isn't an overly crucial factor here, imo. I still like the picture the way it is. 3). So yes, the picture is a crop, based on a raw file taken in portrait mode. I never ever downscale my pics. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Very weak party-poop oppose Crop is an improvement and I so want to like this image. But I have two issues I can't make myself get past: First, the unsharpness on the ridgeline. I believe Martin when he says that he can't explain that. And yes, it's not the important part of the image. But we've had similar FPs where there was less unsharpness on distant features, and I don't think "I can't explain this" is an adequate enough answer for me to forgive that.
Second, the WB is a little too cool. I know it's an image with predominantly cool colors, but surely that adjustment could have been made so it doesn't feel so much like it was lit by a giant fluorescent lamp. Daniel Case (talk) 04:21, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment I am not a fan of 100% rectilinear projections. In this case like many others, the impression arises that the top of the tower is wider than the base, which most probably isn't the case. In my opinion, pictures in Wikipedia should accurately represent the actual geometry of a building.--Hendric Stattmann (talk) 10:09, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comment. In reality the top is exactly the same width as the base, and the picture shows the same, so there's no vertical distortion. Think of the rectilinear projection as a fancy way of saying "perspective correction", as used in countless featured architecture pictures here on Commons.

- Thank you Ikan Kekek The image has 10.000 pix and a grainy aspect at 100%, which is monstrous in a regular screen. I could downsize to a 5000-7000 pix (still a big image for any standard) and have a better look at full resolution after appropriate digital darkroom work for the new resolution.BUT… if anyone wants to print a poster of a generous format from this image (like I already do with some works) the resulting printing has much worse results after the necessary upscaling.

Oppose Sorry, but again, this looks nothing like any other shot of the cuppola. The interior part of the cuppola appears to be too cold and dark and as in other images, blue and yellow tones are very dominant, which is very much unlike any of the comparison images. Imho it is a strange pattern that keeps repeating itself in some of your images and that several people have noted before, without receiving any good explanation or having the chance to see a flat or raw image before your post-processing that could confirm that your edit is more realistic than the other images. --DXR (talk) 07:49, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Per Ikan. This to me is more the sort of art-type thing that is really out of Commons' scope, unless the idea is to show what SVGs can do, and I think we have plenty examples of that already. Daniel Case (talk) 04:51, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose This is a very nice map of high encyclopedic value for sure but it simply lacks beauty to qualify for an FP.

Comment - The composition is featurable, but the unsharpness of the entire photo at full size would in my opinion restrict this to being a Valued Image. I will
Oppose a feature, pending the possible sharpening of the photo, but it also uses a bokeh approach to the background, which I think is not a good idea, so I don't hold out much hope for this photo to be sufficiently sharpened for my taste. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:16, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose The topmost 40 percent are unsharp while the bottom part is perfectly sharp. Insufficient DoF or bad lens? A bit overexposed too IMHO, washed-out colours.

Oppose - I've been following the progress of your photography of Venice and have been looking for more images that I believe are featurable and likely to get enough votes. I strongly approve of and support this great project. However, while this is certainly a nice photo, I don't find the sky active or interesting enough to support featuring it. However, I think that if you crop the top of the photo by almost half, so that there is just a small amount of space above the campanile of San Marco, it will be a better and featurable photo. -- Ikan Kekek
- Thanks for your suggestion. I uploaded a new alternative version as suggestet from @Ikan Kekek: . I am not able to nominate it; maybe someone can help please. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 12:15, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
(talk) 21:49, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- I think the alternative still has too much sky. My suggestion is to do a horizontal crop quite close to the top of the campanile, probably not as far above it as the distance from the beginning of the conical part to the top (I hope it's clear what I mean - the crop still should be above the top of the campanile!). I think if you do that, the composition will really work. But if you prefer, do see what other people think. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:22, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Alternative
[edit]- Mild/moderate
Support. I like this because it's a romantic scene, and in this version, there's more nearly balance between water and sky. The scene is beautiful. The striations in the sky are a bit unusual, but for the most part, I think they help the form because they give the viewer's eyes some scope for motion, and they're much more viewable at this size than in the other versions that have more sky in them. By the way, this is my first time posting an alternative, so if anyone would like to tweak the pixel dimensions that I copied from the alternative submission of File:Koenigssee - Hirschau Peninsula 03.jpg, please do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:18, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment - I don't think I can even consider supporting this until there's a much clearer explanation of what we're looking at, and by the way, when I checked w:Prandtl–Glauert singularity, I read the following claim: "The Prandtl–Glauert singularity is the prediction by the Prandtl–Glauert transformation that infinite pressures would be experienced by an aircraft as it approaches the speed of sound. Because it is invalid to apply the transformation at these speeds, the predicted singularity does not emerge. This is related to the early 20th century misconception of the impenetrability of the sound barrier." -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:22, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Info On the Ruta de los Volcanes it is not allowed - for reasons of environment protection - to travel alone. It is only possible to make a guided tour with a bus. Also for reasons of environment protection it is not allowed to leave the bus. All doors and windows stay closed on the whole tour, it is only possible to make photos of this region through the tinted windows of the bus. So you have to struggle (and later on to correct) both against the reflecions of the bus window and also against the wrong colours, caused by the tinted windows. For taking pictures it would be better to leave the bus, but it is not possible, so I tried to make the best of it. -- Llez (talk) 10:03, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:19, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Support - It looks like a sepia photo to me. The one thing I wonder about is whether it's a good thing to remove the photographer's signature from the image. I know that normally, photos with a signature can't be featured, but this is a historical photo, so I think we could regard it like a painting with a signature, rather than a new photo with a signature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:50, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Her head is too close to border for good portrait. --Mile (talk) 08:02, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Support Not a very difficult restoration, but excellent result. With respect, I strongly disagree with Yann, and don't understand Mile's opposition. Ikan Kekek's comment is very relevant, I tend to agree with him in such cases.--Jebulon (talk) 08:47, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek and Jebulon: While I normally wouldn't remove it, it was hand-scratched-on in this case, and thus more untidy than most, so I was convinced to over on en-wiki. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Should be a QI. ~ Moheen (talk) 19:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose - Per Moheen. I think the composition is quite good and featurable, but parts of the photo are too unsharp (e.g., the purple flowers, a good part of the footbridge, quite a bit of foliage), and there's no obvious compositional justification for that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:45, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment So far, nobody has turned down this picture for not being sunny and cheerful … but an FPC has to show something special. In opposing, I do not mean to say this shot is bad, I just don’t think it’s one of the very finest images on Commons. That’s what FPC is about. Being just good does not earn much support here, we look for the outstanding. I can’t help thinking this shot would raise much more whow if the camera had been 1-2 metres higher. --Kreuzschnabel 07:16, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Info View of the Dragon Dune in the foreground and the city of Iquique in the background, Tarapacá Region, northern Chile. The dune is about 20 000 years old and was originated by coastal winds when the sea level was 100 metres (110 yd) further inside. The dune looks menacing, especially from the bottom, but is stable. It became a Natural Sanctuary in 2005 but before that it was partially removed in the West wing to allow the growth of the city of Iquique. The dune is 6.4 kilometres (4.0 mi) long, between 150–550 metres (160–600 yd) wide and 320 metres (350 yd) high. Iquique has aprox. 185 000 inhabitants and is a prosperous and fast-growing city thanks to the free trade activities. Poco2 09:44, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose At the edges, unfortunately, the quality is poor - strong posterization. I don't understand how this should be necessary, as this is a panorama and so it is normally no problem to get each of the frames crisp? --A.Savin 15:07, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Not necessarily true for rectillinear projection. Very wide FOVs have far less quality at the edges because more stretching takes place there. That's why I always downsize to 50MP even though center quality could also do 100 or so. --DXR (talk) 16:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
{{s}} --Hubertl 18:36, 17 June 2016 (UTC)Comment I made a closer look, indeed, there are some severe problems. Not just posterizations, also noise and overexposed areas. But in fact, its really a great composition, worth, to do it again (with all possible problems, it´s extremely crowded there) --Hubertl 18:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose I think Kruusamägi below is right: looks very pixelated at full resolution. I'd guess it was upscaled for processing and then accidentally not downscaled again afterwards. Currently, it can't hold up with similar pictures quality-wise, so it fails the "one of our finest" criterion. --El Grafo (talk) 11:56, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose This image here is an excellent example of a good image, but the one nominated here on the other hand has posterization, some weird sharp lines and purple fringing. Considering the image size some downsizing might be necessary (how exactly did this image ended up with 62 MP size? upscaling?).

Info created by Roger Wollenberg - uploaded by Fæ - nominated by Fæ -- Fæ (talk) 11:04, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Support Email correspondence this month with Roger Wollenberg clarified that the photograph is in focus, but could not be made sharper due to the speed of the game and necessary shutter speed. As the event was indoors, there needed to be a high ISO and as this was a real sports event rather than a composition, options such as using high powered lights were impossible. This version has a slight crop, removing a top shadowy border in the background, some of the yellow foreground, and helps to focus on the central portrait. At the current time I can find no existing FPs for wheelchair sports. -- Fæ (talk) 11:04, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Apart from softness and noise it’s just too busy for me. If it wasn’t for the men in the background, but as it is, the main subjects do not stand out clearly enough to make the picture special. The circumstances do not excuse for drawbacks here IMHO. We look for the very finest images, not for the best possible ones. Sometimes you simply cannot take a featurable shot. --Kreuzschnabel 16:09, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment - I find this a more exciting and better-lit scene than the other one, but is it really impossible to sharpen the photo a bit more? I don't really want to oppose a feature for this photo. I think it's good enough at full-page size, but the degree of graininess at full size bothers me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:55, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

- I really think you could probably do better with the noise. I'd actually love to nominate more of your photos, because you make great compositions, but I'm feeling bothered by noise. I'm considering changing to an opposing vote but I'm not willing to do that as of today. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:17, 25 June 2016 (UTC)Neutral
- @Ikan Kekek: sorry, but you too obsessed by the noise. In resolution like this, on pure blue sky, noise does no matter. It can't be harmful, but blurring effects will affect the picture. However, if you want to back down because of that ridiculous reason - you're welcome! Oppose? Feel free! --Alex Florstein (talk) 13:50, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment Hi, I've got the raw file of this photo, you may want to give me time till tomorrow evening (UTC) to try to fix the noise better. Thanks Ikan Kekek (sorry, I'm just sporadically online at the moment) --A.Savin 16:36, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment - Thanks, I'll look forward to that. And User:Florstein, I've noticed that other photos that have been nominated here have been less noisy in the sky without blurring the rest of the picture. This is, after all, Featured Picture Candidates, where we're supposed to judge whether nominees are among the most outstanding pictures on the site.

- You really shouldn't take this personally. Do you seriously think I have something against you? Why would I? Yet you took any opposition or even criticism personally right away, the better to dismiss it ad hominem. And you haven't succeeded in trying to goad me into opposing a feature for your picture, which I would certainly do if all I really cared about was the way you reacted to my request, and then my change from support to neutrality.

Oppose Unfortunately, you carried over several errors and imprecisions from File:Dolphin anatomy.png, some of them are even mentioned in that file's description. Why is the anus connected to the kidney? Why is the jaw labelled Esophagus? Color coding suggests that there is a direct connection between Esophagus and Kidney. Why is the liver also labelled "Stomach"? Why isn't the blow hole connected to anything? Label for "Flipper" shouldn't point at a bone. Afaik, "Fluke" should be singular. Based on the label, one could assume that Blubber was just another word for "tail". Stuff like this should really go through a review at en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biology or similar before being nominated here.

Support - I find this photo moving, and in this case, I believe it actually helps the composition and makes it more poignant for the figures in the sculpture to be in shadow. Likewise, I don't think the lack of strong direct light is a drawback at all. I also find the overall composition harmonious and sufficiently sharp to satisfy me in this context. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:09, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, but there's too much going on and the light isn't really FP-worthy in my eyes. A good QI anyways. --Code (talk) 17:51, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment - A disagreement about what good light for this subject consists of is a matter of taste, but if you would, please elaborate on what you mean by "too much going on". I enjoy moving my eyes around this composition. Do you feel that the hedges distract inordinately from the memorial? If so, that's just another disagreement as a matter of taste, as I consider the photo to be about the combination of vegetation and a memorial with village houses in the background, not just the memorial. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:00, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- It's mainly the wooden house on the right side of the background and the cut part of the roof at the left side. Together it makes the picture look unbalanced (the foreground is symmetrical while the background is not). The hedge itself is completely ok for me. I can imagine why you thought this could be FP but I'm sorry that I can't really agree. The light is too dull for my taste, maybe I'd give it a pro if the memorial was lit by the warm light of a rising sun or something like that. Of course, it's all a matter of taste. --Code (talk) 11:31, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Question I know that "rules can be broken", but what about the rule of thirds, and the horizon in the middle ? I feel it as a composition issue.--Jebulon (talk) 13:19, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment - If the picture is awesome, who cares about such "rules", which are really more general guidelines than actual rules? This is the 21st century. We experienced over 100 years of avant gardism, and now all of a sudden, we're supposed to have inflexible rules of composition? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:16, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Support I like this one too. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 21:47, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Oppose - I actually think I prefer the smaller sun and greater amount of dark ground in the other version. It feels more balanced between light and dark to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:24, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Support I'll take either one.

- I think it is impossible to show a harbour without cutting off some boats, alas...--Jebulon (talk) 08:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- I agree with you; unfortunately some scenes just won't make beautiful compositions -- Thennicke (talk) 10:25, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- OK, let's disagree about what a "beautiful composition" is ! Please just notice that I took care not to crop the buoy at left

Oppose - I don't understand the justification for brightening this image (compared to the original). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:46, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- Mild
Support I would've got rid of the uneven borders and probably quietly removed that wart or whatever it is on his forehead, but otherwise this is pleasant to look at. I'm not big on historical fidelity. I prefer things to look nice and clean.

Support - I don't like the out-of-focus right hand, but I can see that was in the original, and it's otherwise quite a good composition, so in view of how old the photo is and its historical value, I give slight support to featuring it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:56, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose It surely looks good but the golden framing shows some glare, and the entire image lacks wow to me. Being technically good does not make an FP for me, it want to see a special idea in it. Of course Livio can place his tripod under hundreds of ceilings in Rome and take technically good pics of them but I really don’t think we have to feature them all. --Kreuzschnabel 14:26, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
