SHORT DESCRIPTION

 Support A stunning picture of a beautiful landscape.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Flxwu (talk • contribs)

It's OK no worries, but the image has a great EV and is FP on English wikipedia.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:19, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose what a great chance to illustrate the area. alas the point and shoot camera quality is imho not sufficient for fp. a reshoot seems unlikely but would be great if done with better equipment. could be something for the picture wishlist. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 19:19, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  OK, got the message.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just two opposes and you're withdrawing? It's got my  Support. I've seen much crappier pictures make FP simply because they're technically flawless. Sometimes I think all the rules here distract from what really makes a good picture and that's not something you can define in such a rigid manner. --Calibas (talk) 02:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Calibas! This image was actually taken by my husband with his point-and-shot Nikon. Me with my Canon XTI sat on a different side, and I even did not see this place, leave alone take image. I read what you said about the image to my husband, and he asked me to thank you too. It's OK, if the image is not going to be FP on commons although, if it were, it would have been the only FP taken by my husband --Mbz1 (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • First, the other pic you mention is taken in fall, which obviously accounts for the reddish leaves ; second, IMHO your better pic is strongly oversaturated, whereas the present one is just natural. Here, the green patches of grass are brilliant green, as they should be, and not glow-in-the-dark-fluo-green. The foliage is a muted darker green, and the stones and water are in shades of pinkish and blueish grey. Not that a slight white balance tuning wouldn't be useful, I've not checked into that. But the dull colors argument doesn't make the cut. (did I say IMHO? No? Ok, here it is: IMHO). --MAURILBERT (discuter) 13:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well that is why i wrote "something a bit closer closer". It IS oversaturated and the green is unnatural, yeah. What I wanted to say is that the green in your picture - YES it IS brilliant - but it is the same green and the stones are the same grey all over the picture. The place is good but a different light might be much better. Fog might make it better (making it more hmm.. how to say that... "plastic?" even with these colors) as well as a sunny day (a picture of some similar valley taken at clear day was few days ago nominated). --Aktron (talk) 14:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Later on I will try to edit this image and apply a new version to demonstrate what I mean. But the image is good and nice.. it is not a comment to be used by somebody to vote oppose..

  •  Comment-- The two comments are not contradictory, although with the "please don't" I think Alvesgaspar is applying his "let the poor thing breath" too dogmatically. You can let the poor thing breath and also make the lateral crops to give the equilibrium that that photo is needing. You can also clone sky if needed.

 Info This quiet place belongs to the monastery of Vatopedi. Since 2008 a real-estate scandal is taking place in Greece. [1] The monastery of Vatopedi exchanged less valuable, rural land of Vistonida (this area around the lake belongs to Vatopedi monastery) with state-owned valuable land [2]. These land swaps are often a discussion in the mass media. They say that this land-swap cost to the Greek-state 100m euros. [3] Ggia (talk) 21:01, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Why is the image so fuzzy and pixelated as if it were softened and upsampled? I also don't see the interest in overlaying those grey shades on the urban areas. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:25, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Almost 100% of the people in the world know about the Paris - the famous French capital. Almost 99 % of the people don't know how big is Paris actually...There are equally spread misleading numbers from 2 milions to 8 millions inhabitants. These two gray shapes gives the answer - in this case about Nottingham. First, these two gray shapes presents what is the difference between the two numbers that are connected with the name of Nottingham - 249,000 and 666,000. Second, these two gray shapes gives the proportion in geometrical way which makes the matter far clearer. And third, these two gray shapes show us the connection between the area and the three most important lines of this place - Trent River, M1 motorway and the county border. I think this scheme is of a high educational value. As for the so called fuzzy background, it is intentionally because it is of secondary importance, even firstly I think the shapes and the three lines to be on white background. --MrPanyGoff (talk) 11:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment -- Drawing a good map is not an easy task! Depending on its purpose, you should start by deciding exactly what kind of information you want to represent, which area is to be covered and in what scale. Only after it is possible to make a rational choice of the specific categories of information to depict and which symbology to use. In the present case, and according to your own comments, most of the information depcited in the background is superfluous and only serves to affect, in a negative way, the legibility of the map. On the other hand the polygons, lines and legend you have added lack the sophistication and accuracy we would expect from a featured illustration. One question: why not add a graphical scale of distances instead of the vectors? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:45, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The mining lamp on the Halde Rheinpreußen
I suppose that Alvesgaspar likes more light to the dark parts.. IMO the dark parts of the image support the form of the Grubenlampe. I mean that the dark parts of the image drops the attention to the Grubenlampe. Ggia (talk) 11:57, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Similar comments to (recently) Alvesgaspar (concerning comparing work of other users) you can read here [6] in this nomination: [7]. Probably this issue should be discussed in the talk page.. Personally I find no-sense comparing a user work with another user.. This kind of comparison can be made ie. when we have the same subject photographed by different users under different lighting condition etc.. Ggia (talk) 14:37, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • There seems to be a serious misunderstanding about the goal of FPC and the evaluation criteria. Two important notes: first, we assess images here, not photographers. When I referred to Diliff's pictures, I was not comparing authors or even their creations as a whole, but just giving examples of excellence in certain classes (panos or night shots). In the present case, other very good examples exist of night pictures, e.g. this one; second, it should be irrelevant for assessment purposes what kind of camera was used, either a point-and-shoot or a f**ing expensive one. The goal of FPC is to identify "the best Commons has to offer". Finally, I want to emphasize once more that it is the priviledge of the reviewer to use whatever kind of arguments or examples he wishes to support his honest opinion, provided he remains within scope and addresses the picture, not the author. For the second time, Ggia suggests to start a discussion on this issue. Please go ahead! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no misunderstanding from my point of view. I already wrote I suppose that Alvesgaspar likes more light to the dark parts... From the Arc Triomphe image I understand also this: that you like the image to have light in the dark parts. As I wrote above.. the dark parts of the image IMO works here creatively.. they drop the attention directly to the to Grubenlampe... this is also why I support the image.. because the dark parts of the image.. are not flaws. I understand that you consider Diffs photos examples of excellence.. but this is your opinion.. all the featured images of commons are examples of some kind of excellence. Comparing Arc Triomphe image with this image has no sense.. these are two different images (subject) and they have different lighting conditions. It has sense to compare an image with another image the same subject (ie. with same or different lighting conditions). Ggia (talk) 13:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Yes, very high technical quality. However, Jfitch, remember that we can have multiple featured images of the same subject; they're not in competition with each other (that would be COM:VIC). --The High Fin Sperm Whale 22:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support-- I agree. Grinatyou (talk) 13:51, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It is a good studio shot and and for me a candidate for both COM:QI and COM:VIC. However, the lightning of the subject is too flat and uninteresting for me to make it over the FPC bar. The current lightning is such that I find it hard to see the detailed structure at the rear and partially at the middle in the front end. As a consequence the photo is not really an eyeopenener for me. The categorization on the file page is also inadequate and not sufficiently specific. --Slaunger (talk) 22:14, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment When opened full res I see no issues at all with seeing all the detail in the car. I would try to change it but as I can't see the issue you mention I can't. I've Re-uploaded a version which is certainly brighter in those areas now. JFitch (talk) 00:22, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • My original assessment was based on looking at the photo in full resolution. It has improved a little, but it is all treatments of symptoms for non-optimal light in my opinion. The light makes the subject very "factual" to look at (which is not a bad thing), but at the cost of not really catching my full attention, as it is appears a little flat or uninteresting. It is a good photo, but I expect something very good for an FPC, including interesting lightning of a studio shot subject. --Slaunger (talk) 22:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lizaed fish
It is like a blurred background for any macro shot. The subject of the image is a fish. Besides there is something more in the image. Did you see it?--Mbz1 (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Was it trivial to id?
I recommend categorizing to and creating Category:Synodus binotatus as a subcategory to Category:Synodus.
A good illustration of camouflage. I have tried underwater photography a little myself and I have learned that it is not at all easy to get good technical quality. But even then I think the image quality is not good enough for FP, especially concerning sharpness of the subject and (color) noise.
Has it been color corrected a lot? It seems too red or perhaps a little oversaturated IMO.
Concerning the quiz, I did not find something clearly identifiable besides the fish, although that big, blurry, pinkish something in the upper left corner looks a bit odd. I have no idea if that is what you are hinting at, nor what it could possible be.... --Slaunger (talk) 22:55, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please try again to find something extra at the image. It cannot be mistaken with anything. About ID. I knew it was a lizard fish, but I was not sure which one. So I went to this site and looks like mine is Synodus binotatus, but they say it is hard to ID. --Mbz1 (talk) 23:40, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you that the fish has a visual appearance, which resembles very well photos I can find of the two-spot lizard fish (S. binotatus), without being able to rule out that it could be another species. Don't you think you should modify the identification to probably Synodus binotatus on the file page and categorize it to Category:Synodus (or a new "Unidentified..." subcategory) to be on the safe side? Regarding the ongoing quiz: I give up . --Slaunger (talk) 22:58, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I asked about ID of this fish at the diving forum I am posting sometimes. So far nobody has responded yet, but I hope they will eventually. The second fish is in the lower part of the image.

    Any better?--Mbz1 (talk) 23:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
     Neutral Well, yes the "U turn problem" is solved with the new crop, but now I think you are letting almost too much in there. I think a compromise between the two crops would have been better, but I do not think it will be a good idea with more versions using the same file name, as it is really confusing for other reviewers to revisit it repeatedly, so I'll just switch to neutral. Is this overriding of the same file name with quite different versions triggered by the new alternatives rule, there was all this fuss about? (In that case I think we need to revisit that rule). --Slaunger (talk) 22:02, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree, I cropped it again and added as alternative. It is a different crop of the same image, so alternative should be fine. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:34, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose OK, changed to oppose for this version as I prefer the alternative. --Slaunger (talk) 06:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it does not cope with the guideline in terms of downsampling and compression. Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Thanks. Even so, the image guidelines state: "No advertisements, signatures, or other watermarks in image.

Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:52, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is a poster; those things are part of the content of the image.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note, for example, File:Joan of Arc WWI lithograph2.jpg. It lists both the artist (Haskell Coffin), and the place of printing (United States Printing and Lithograph Co.) on the poster. Posters, by nature, have to be self-contained, and thus tend to include their own copyright data/everything else. This one is part of an ambitious effort to make an entire movie and release it under a cc-by-sa license; I nominated it for dual reasons; I think the image is poignant and stirring, and I think there's nothing else like it on the Commons (a modern-day movie poster, that is.)

Sheep shepherd at Vistonida lake, Thrace Greece.
 Comment yes you have an interesting thought in your comment.. This one was one of the photos that I took there. The crop of the sheep (right) and the position of the shepherd gives a point of direction of movement to the left. As you see at the left there is no cropped sheep.. and the position of the shepherd is at the right and he moves to the left.. These was the things that I had I mind and I choose this image from the others (considering that this image is well balanced according to the content).. in the other images the shepherd was out of the image, cropped sheep were in in both directions (left and right) etc..

Agree, "mallard bar" is way too high, but I was not able to find a better image of ducklings on Commons. The one, which was offered as a "good alternative" is barely above 1 mega pixel with no single ducking that is in focus, just another image of a female mallard with background of the blurred ducklings. Richard's image is great as always, but no ducklings there. I just uploaded 2 images of a much higher resolution than "a good alternative" with at least some ducklings that are in the focus: File:Mallard Ducklings with mother 014.jpg and File:Mallards ducklings with mother.jpg, but I would not have nominated those for commons FP. --Mbz1 (talk) 21:50, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Interesting. I am not too convinced about the technical quality, but for a 2005 shot it is good. The description is very unspecific concerning the location. Surely, you must know approximately where the photo was taken (Greenland, Canada, ... )? All the brown stuff on top of the iceberg. Do you know what it is? --Slaunger (talk) 21:22, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • The twig could be removed and the image could be cropped, but the whole effect of the lighting on the white wing feathers and the water might be spoilt somewhat, so I opted to leave it as it was. The lighting on the wing feathers is good here. White feathers are often blown and overexposed and show little detail. This swan has a large black cob on its beak, so I think this one is a male. I think that the existing FP with a smaller cob is a female. Snowmanradio (talk) 23:47, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with you that the light on the feathers is very good, and that there is also a gender thing to consider. You may also be right about the crop. I have not tried playing around with it myself. Still, for such a commonly occurring species and ease of getting close to it, I would expect more for an FP. --Slaunger (talk) 22:46, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Woodchipping from wood litter.
  •  Question How do you mean? The wood is real wood, the machines are real machines, the photo is not manipulated more than adjustments of levels and contrast . Everything you see is original, nothing added later. --V-wolf (talk) 15:56, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. I apologize for my misunderstanding. But as far as I can see, there are no UFO crashings or naked marching bands in your FP candidating pictures either. There are values in the everyday life as well. --V-wolf (talk) 11:04, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am new here and sorry my English is poor. But i feel like here when you give an opposing vote people take it personally and pointing you as the one who is spoiling the party.

I have nothing against you, Ozgurmulazimoglu, and I respect your vote, but if there only were extraordinary subjects to be promoted, I believe we would have to stick with the outer space pictures from NASA. @Slaunger: Yes, I once promoted this picture to VIC with the scope woodchipping, but I took it back, because I realized this only depict woodchipping from wood litter (old chairs and boards), and maybe that's a too narrow scope. --V-wolf (talk) 13:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
   * Value - our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that:
         o almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing, and most such pictures are not in essence different from others,
         o night-shots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime,
         o beautiful does not always mean valuable.
This, the fifth point of the guidelines for nominators. It is not evident for me the value of this picture. Grinatyou (talk) 03:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I see. What is a "valuable picture", then ? And why this one is not valuable to your eyes ? In my opinion, this picture is not against this fifth point. It is not an anonymous sunset, it is not an undetailed night shot, and his value is not (only) due to his beauty. --Jebulon (talk) 16:21, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say it is not valuable. I was just asking why is it. It is not self evident. For what I see only see, a sunset, and the silhouette of some fishermen and a dock. Is the picture showing something that specially happens there? I just don't know. Seems to me that you can have pretty much the same picture in many other places. Is the size of the sun special in that place? Are the fishermen doing something sui generis? What I know about it is not enough to get a sense of its value. Grinatyou (talk) 17:25, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 FWIW Firstly Rule #7, secondly it could be used to illustrate certain photographic techniques like silhouettes. --IdLoveOne (talk) 02:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- Inspiring composition mitigating the less-than-optimal technical quality. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose-- OK, a comment is not motivational enough to give a proper explanation. I don't see the value of this picture beyond being beautiful. The claims "it is not an anonymous place", when you don't see more than a dock and a sunset and therefore can be almost anywhere, "it is better than any sunset" and "his value is not (only) due to his beauty", which don't explain why and seems to be expecting that I accept it as an act of faith, do not convince me.

  • I don't think there is really chromatic aberration. The light is close to monochromatic and they are not using a particularly small focal length (I think). This is just diffraction of the light near the contour of the fishermen. It will happen no matter what camera, lens or technique you use as long as you are far enough from the subject. CA and this are two diffraction phenomenons but one happens at the lens and this one at the mens [sic]. Grinatyou (talk) 23:48, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but diffraction will occur every time you have a wave passing next to an object. It is noticed better in situation with high contrast like this one. Take a candle and put your hand between it and a wall. The farther the hand from the wall the blurred the shadows edges. This is what is happening here. Nothing to do with the camera, lens or sensor. Grinatyou (talk) 19:23, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, diffraction is present, but I'm not convinced that it explains what we are seeing. The width for the first maximum in the diffraction pattern is 5 mm at the 80 m subject distance (focal length=35.4 mm; sensor width = 5.76 mm) while the bright yellow fringe (outside the silhouette) looks more like 10-20 mm to me.[12] Also, the fringe would be the same color as the sky. I think it may be an artifact due to overexposure which I describe below. It is much less apparent near the men's feet which is not overexposed.

New Zealand Fur Seal pup
I decided for a neutral vote. Mulazimoglu (talk) 08:18, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Interesting pose, but I am not convinced regarding the value, when the back dominates so much, and only parts of the face is seen, see, e.g., this seal FP for a much more eyecatching scenary. I am also reluctant concerning image quality. Seems a little too soft and with a tad too much (color?) noise in the wet fur. So, sorry, it does not pass my seal FP bar. --Slaunger (talk) 20:42, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I interpreted the word scenery to mean the background. I agree this is less eye-catching; provoking a pose like that is probably illegal here in NZ, though. --Avenue (talk) 01:13, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No problem. The slight misunderstanding probably reflecks a lack of ability on my part to express myself precisely in a foreign language. Also, I do not want you to do anything illegal and trigger the same pose as in the other FP. My comment was meant as an example of a more interesting pose. --Slaunger (talk) 06:28, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! What is interesting is that it does, to me at least. I didn't know that the author was a notable professional photographer. Now that I know I think I should stay with what was my first impression of the picture, unless I missed remarkable features of the image that require a better understanding of the subject.

Samtavisi Cathedral is an eleventh-century Georgian Orthodox cathedral in eastern Georgia, in the region of Shida Kartli, some 45km from the nation’s capital Tbilisi. The cathedral is now one of the centers of the Eparchy of Samtavisi and Gori of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The cathedral is located on the left bank of the Lekhura River, some 11km of the town of Kaspi. According to a Georgian tradition, the first monastery on this place was founded by the Assyrian missionary Isidore in 572 and later rebuilt in the 10th century. Neither of these buildings has survived however. The earliest extant structures date to the eleventh century, the main edifice being built in 1030 as revealed by a now lost stone inscription. The cathedral was built by a local bishop and a skilful architect Hilarion who also authored the nearby church of Ashuriani. Heavily damaged by a series of earthquakes, the Cathedral was partially reconstructed in the 15th and 19th centuries. The masterly decorated eastern façade is the only survived original structure.

  •  Oppose levels could be improved, needs more detail, either was cropped or downsampled. for those amongst you unaware of turkish or googletranslate - Mulazimoglu criticizes the questionable educational value, the colours in the skies and clouds and the composition. (hope i did get your point, please correct me if not). regards, PETER WEIS TALK 22:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done levels. But what is the problem with the composition? --Citron (talk) 10:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The position of the river and the horizon. The horizon is in the middle of the frame, that gives too much attention to the sky which is not the subject of the picture. On the other hand the horizon is not low enough as to make the sly fully the main character. The river exists the picture too high. It's most interesting feature, that muddy part, is cut off. This means that there is something going on out of the fram that you would like to have inside. The red roof, it is nice to have a red within all that green, but it is placed in a too privileged position and since the river's is not so much it steals attention. The shadow on the left also does its bit on this. Finally, the river is long, not tall, why the portrait? This choice is connected with having too much sky and missing interesting parts of the river.

 Question can the Commons:De_minimis concept be applied here? Ggia (talk) 17:36, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering about that, too. And here it is de minimis imo, so no copyright problem to me. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 12:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is. Hard to explain in a foreign language. Freedom of panorama and de minimis are anglo-saxon concepts, in use in Common law countries, but absolutely unknown in Roman Law (Civil law ?) countries. On this photo, they are two main subjects (see the name of the file), the city of Millau by night, and the viaduct. The viaduct is not incidental. There is a flagrant copyright violation. Here it is possible to consider that the statue (by Salvador Dali, then copyrighted) is incidental, because my attempt was to show the main courtyard of Château de Pommard (tree, architecture in a traditionnal and famous wine of Burgundy producer, old barrels etc...). I can explain that (with success) to a judicial court in a trial. Notice that I didn't put this image in the (illegal) Category of the sculptures of S.D. Furthermore, the categorization concerning "sculptures in Côte d'Or" was not added by me... Maybe I wanted to get round the law, but who knows ? . Well, I get you the point it is not very fair, and not very understandable for non latin people, as american, canadian, australian, english (or german sometimes) legal points of view look sometimes very special for latin people... That's why mutual respect is absolutely necessary here, and that's why "Commons" is great, my friends ! --Jebulon (talk) 15:33, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, it's a bit difficult to argue that an element that is in the title of the file would be accessory and incidental (as much as I dislike French law on this topic -- which is quite a lot). Rama (talk) 07:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There was no cloning done on the image, so there cannot be errors. The birds are very, very small, and very, very fast moving. The image is not of an individual birds, but of flock of birds. It was not down sampled. It was only cropped. The note you added: It is just a reflection of one bird and the real (other bird) got together (no error there)--Mbz1 (talk) 16:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I do not see any halos around the birds. Maybe something with my eyes or my monitor.--Mbz1 (talk) 11:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see a brownish halo extending up to five pixels out from each bird. They're kind of faint, but they're there. I've added an image note outlining the halo around one of the birds near the centre. The background inside the outline definitely looks browner to me than the background just outside it (except near the beak and tail). --Avenue (talk) 15:23, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Western Snowy Plovers

Is that's why you're opposing not because of the image itself, but because of "confusing nomination"? I improved the composition adding more to the right hand side as Ggia suggested. I was told not to overwrite an old version with a new one, so that's why I added this alternative, which is a different crop of the same image. Everything is within the rules. Anyway...--Mbz1 (talk) 00:29, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, a different crop of the same image is not the same image, especially if it adds something. It is another time another problem with another confusing nomination. Maybe before another withdrawn ?
You said I improved the composition etc.... Are you sure it is an improvement ? Will you "edit" after every comment ? Please more blue ? Please more birds ? Please more sharpness ? In my opinion, you must have to nominate at first the good one, or re-upload, or withdraw, or wait. I request you friendly: please don't be so reactive, we've got the time, let your first nomination live its life entirely, and alone, until the end ! Rework your photo, try improvements on your computer, and if not featured at first time, try another time with explanations. I'm sorry, as a newbie, to say this to an 'old' and experimented contributor. You know that I respect really your work here, and there is nothing personal. But yes, I oppose. We need peace and not sources of eternal conflicts. May I suggest you, if you want to answer, to do it maybe on my talk page ? Thx --Jebulon (talk) 01:10, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Request Can we brighten the "face" a bit, or otherwise tweak the lighting to make the detail pop out better? In thumbnail, at first glance, I didn't see the half of how detailed this piece is. There's a lot of texture there, but it's hiding. It's a very good subject and sharp image otherwise, and I like it. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 19:10, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Many thanks for kind and very careful review. I'm not sure I understand very well what you mean/want. The thumbnail gives only an Idea, and this photo is made to be seen at a high scale, maybe full screen. I tried many improvements before uploading, and I supposed I've got the good balance now. I'm afraid for loosing details if I change something. Could you please be more precise ? Thank you very much anyway.--Jebulon (talk) 22:35, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment I think there should be some more contrast, or maybe some more fill light on the "face", especially to bring out the eyes. Ideally I'd have shot with flash or main light source to the side of the "face" part of the cascabel; I know that's probably not practical, but just wanted to illustrate the effect I'd have preferred to see with such an intricately textured object. I know we shoot images to stand on their own, but I think overall usefulness should always be a consideration; even in thumbnail or alongside text, the image ought to grab your eye, and this image didn't immediately do that for me. I'm not saying that I oppose: I rather like this image. Maybe I'm speaking from a different sort of criticism than usually comes out in FP, and if so I apologize. I just think that the image can do more. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 02:58, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm not sure I understand very well... Your criticism is good enough, and no need for apologies.

Parrot peeking from under wing
  • Sorry, I was probably too hasty in putting this up. I did try to improve it first, and didn't get very far, but with a bit more thought maybe I might have figured out how.
  • However I don't feel adding the edit really gave the photo "two chances". If anything, supporters seem to be divided between the two versions, so perhaps it would be truer to say each version has half the chance of an undiluted nomination. --Avenue (talk) 02:35, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see Slaunger recently expressed a similar view: [15] --Avenue (talk) 03:16, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Avenue, you have done nothing wrong, and there's nothing for you to be sorry about. jebulon is opposing nominations and trying to implement his own rules that are even sillier than the ones we have now. The only reason to oppose an image should be am image itself. Opposing a nomination for anything else is just a bad tone.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:06, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just to clarify, I think that adding a subsection for an edit is the standard procedure. I was not apologising for doing that, but for posting my original image here too hastily, and thus failing to "prepare carefully" in Alvesgaspar's words. --Avenue (talk) 00:25, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose creamy bokeh, but needs a rework on the levels. the original upload was a picture created with a Canon EOS 40D. the current version (and all older versions) were downsampled to "increase" the quality and remove the effects of ISO 500, which was used creating this picture. I would support an original resolution version with improved levels. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 23:19, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I swear to the Olympic gods I didn't downsampled it, JPG did. I did crop it to get rule of thirds with that eye. The levels is easy to correct but (I didn't understand your writing) do you oppose the creaminess of the background? I regret to say that can't do anything about that without doing "excessive digital manipulation". Grinatyou (talk) 00:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am even more intrigued in seeing your own images now after I saw you have the latest photoshop --Mbz1 (talk) 01:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This page is about this image. CS5 was released on April 2010. Grinatyou (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment creamy bokeh refers to a good bokeh, so for your Olympic gods' sake don't change it. and yes i see that you was not the one downsampling the image - perhaps i should be more precise here: the first version uploaded by Merops was downsampled (and perhaps as well cropped) from 3888 × 2592 to 1132 × 1814. all newer versions are based on this and therefore they are downsampled/cropped as well. hope you get my point here. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 07:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't think I (intentionally) forgot your objections on the image because supports are coming alone. The correction on the levels will be done before the end. I am just waiting to see if the author brings the original to work on it or maybe he/she does the whole work. I don't like when some problem doesn't get solved because enough supports came to get featured. Grinatyou (talk) 20:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hinterwald Cattle
The breed is remarkable by its small size (it is the smallest breed of cattle in Europe) and is well adapted to harsh environmental conditions, such as cold winters, sloping pastures and frugal diet. Despite a recent breeding program, the breed is still in danger of extinction.

  •  Comment Hi. As the first reviewer, I don't want to oppose it straight away but want to give you the following input on why I don't think this is featured-image quality. 1) The background is very noisy. 2) The background is considerably underexposed. 3) The composition is not interesting enough to be a FI (the subject is right in the middle, with the classical standing-photographer perspective).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Murdockcrc (talk • contribs)

  • lol :-) But the difference to my comment is that the author know waht I wrote... But okay, I'm going to translate my comment for the others --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 18:27, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not lol for me. I think it is OK to write review comments in ones own native language, if, e.g., a user finds it hard to express himself in English. Mulazimoglu has several times been asked to give more thorough oppose reasons, but has expressed a difficulty in expressing a reason in English. I have given him the advice to use his native language then, as surely, a reviewer will be helpful with translation if needed. Using an autotranslator I understand some of the oppose reason as being due to the image being too bright, especially in the lower right corner. And then there is another point, which I do not not quite understand, but maybe somebody else can help? --Slaunger (talk) 21:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Commons is an international project and we welcome those who are not fluent in English to participate. The FPC guidelines explicitly encourage those without English language fluency to comment in their own language. Multilingual reviews encourage broader participation at FPC. I thank Mulazimoglu for his/her comments and I think they are helpful. I think the other comment relates to the educational value of the image. Walter Siegmund (talk) 02:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not lol for me neither. I am happy enough to understand two or three other languages different of my native one, but it is very difficult. I would like to than Mulazimoglu too because his comments are very useful, and very understandable with an auto translator. I agree with him about the technical point in the right corner below. And I confirm: a turkish-french auto translation says that he is not convinced by the educative value of this picture.--Jebulon (talk) 01:23, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      • Sorry I don't understand the word "hmm". Does it mean that you doubt I talk the truth ? If not, may I understand that you oppose because of daylight reflections over old and polished marble ? Well... Thanks for review. Let's wait for other opinions. Regards,--Jebulon (talk) 09:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • The "métadonnées" (metadata) of the file description page says "Flash: flash non déclenché, suppression du flash obligatoire" (no translation needed, IMO). I'm disappointed to notice that the expression of the result of your review was maybe not wise enough...regards,--Jebulon (talk) 10:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • hmm is an interjection meaning that one ponders about something (at least it is in german). in this case i was simply astonished by opera not displaying the correct metadata. after your comment i used the wikidisplay for metadata and adobe bridge to double check. and yes i do oppose because of those reflections. the wrinkles and pleats benefit from this, but the bottom of the statue does not. perhaps reshooting on a rainy day or using a reflector could help here. still my opinion has not changed - the reflections (the source does not matter in this context) and the levels is what prevents me from supporting. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 10:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The background's a bit dark, distracts a bit, but the quality is good. --IdLoveOne (talk) 04:42, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment -- I don't think the background color is the best. The base is dark and with that background, when you are looking at Trajan's face, it gets confused into it. Did you choose brown because the base was already blue? It is a very dark blue. I tried blueish because the cloth on his shoulders were brown, also tried light brown, light yellow... None convinced me. The base has already, by itself, a nice color contrast (brown vs blue) but if you let the base be seen then the face losses attention. If, on the other hand you use some dark backgroundd to let the face be seen then the base suffers. A vertical gradient convince me better. Dark on top, lighter the bottom. You brown is fine although I liked better the face with a deep blue to white gradient. Grinatyou (talk) 14:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral background colour is problematic. Photo may be useful if this was changed. In the future, the use of a polarizing filter may help with reflections from daylight on objects. --nsaum75¡שיחת! 18:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no constructive or good ideas how to make it more interesting to look at. Sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 22:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Sorry, it is not a helpful comment, IMO. A  Neutral vote, or an abstention should have been more appropriate. You say that you have not real opposing reason, but you oppose ? Because of your feeling that it is a boring subject (to be polite) ? The expression I have no constructive or good ideas how to make it more interesting to look at is very and unnecessary hurtful to me. Thank you, but I don't need your help for that, because it is interesting enough to me (and maybe to others here), despite your contemptuous words. Well, may I now oppose (for instance) every panorama here, because nothing in panoramas catch my eyes, and because I think (for instance) that so deformed pictures are an insult for every normal brain ? Until today, I didn't vote in this cases, but it will change maybe, using your current vote as a jurisprudence. --Jebulon (talk) 00:04, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Hi Jebulon. I think you are overreacting or maybe it is just another one of those multilingual miscommunications? Do I find the photo "boring". Since you ask directly: "Yes". I did not want to write that explicitly as I found that would not be helpful. It is probably possible for the subject to be visualized in a manner, which would make it feature-worthy according to my preferences. I wish I could provide explicit directions as to what could be done in that respect. That is something, which I can sometimes do. In this case I have no specific idea. I would probably have to see the subject in real life to get some. That is what I tried to express in my review. In the future, please assume good faith and ask me for clarification on an explanation if you feel an image is being reviewed unfair by me. --Slaunger (talk) 09:45, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I do think you should oppose images you do not find feature-worthy, nomatter what the reason is for you not fancying them. If you are turned off by the geometric distorion in some panoramas, i think it is fair to oppose for that reason. I think it is a misunderstanding to abstain to vote from such nominations as a tacit oppose. Better make it explicit. The opposing reason can often provide feedback for the nomintor, which he may use in future work. That is how many "old" users here have improved over time. --Slaunger (talk) 09:45, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be absolutely clear about one thing. It is the photo I am opposing, not you. I think you are a great contributor, and I think I have mentioned that on more than one occasion on your talk page. --Slaunger (talk) 09:45, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Do not panic and assume good faith. please do not drag this opposition down to a personal level - Slaunger critiqued your image not you as a person. speaking in terms of the guideline he simply does not see a wow-factor within your image. be reminded that telling other people how to vote and their comments being not helpful can be very and unnecessary hurtful to them as well. if other users vote with no strong arguments from your poi, it's not a call for a generalization of your votes on certain subjects. each fpc needs careful checking to return a verdict: this can be a process of critique close to the guideline or the expression of mere feelings and thinkings. you must not see my comment as a personal offense either - it is about improving the situation and finding a better solution. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 09:21, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Only two months ago, this picture was featured with 11 support, 0 oppose, and 1 neutral. Would you please begin a delist procedure ?--Jebulon (talk) 14:44, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support They are shown on an exceptional subject and ... they look at the background. If the background is black is too black. If it is degraded, you are asked a black background. If you surrender then another contributor will suggest making it white. The backgrounds are subjective assessments. If there is no technical foul, then let's focus on the subject. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support @Jebulon assume good faith even you feel that there is no good faith. I.e. the comments "this image is no wow for me", "let the poor thing breath" etc etc are funny comments ;-).. Assume when somebody gives a comments "this image is no wow for me" that means that the general composition is not good enough aesthetically. When says about "a little thing that does not breath.." means that (s)he likes more space in the sides etc.. But IMO you have to ignore most of the comments because they limit your creativity.. In the creativity there are not rules saying things about noise, crop, wow factor (and excellent image can be minimal), composition rules, tilt (there are image ie [17] is completely tilt and is a famous image of Koudelka).. I.e. if this example of image (by Koudelka) will be an image from a user in commons.. there will be comments because of the tilt, may-be because of the grain (noise in film terminology) etc..

Panoramic view of Morcote and Lugano lake, as seen from Serpiano, canton Ticino, Switzerland.
Well. The image is not clear. The island is just in the center. Colors are not that good. And a lot i cant tell in English. It looks like a nice place though. Mulazimoglu (talk) 11:26, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral -- Great view, magnificent location, view point well chosen. I would support with a better image quality (sharpness, colors), and if it would be a wider panorama showing the edges of the water (where does that bridge lead to?). -- Onno Zweers (talk) 12:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you very much for your input. Composition-wise, there is nothing much to be done. As you can see, there's a forest to the right, so increasing the perspective in that direction will not show anything but trees. To the left, there is a hotel, so no chance of seeing more of the water. As far as colors and sharpness go, there's nothing more I can do about them... --Murdockcrc (talk) 15:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose the setting is very interesting and seems worthy to be featured. contrasts, sharpness, focus, colours - pretty much anything could be better. a great shot with insufficient technical quality to be featured by me. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 23:33, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ocean Beach at low tide
  •  Comment I was too lazy to write comments and I followed the comments of Grinatyou.. Here are my comments: The image is too dark for me, has unnatural colors (probably during the settings of the camera and the contra-light conditions), no details in the bird (only silhouette). The form of the image (actually only form we see here) does not convince me (I don't find the composition well-balanced). Images like that (that actually we see only form / shadows) are better in black & white. This image lacks of color and a black & white version will be more interesting.. with dark parts, white parts, middle gray tones etc. But since the contrast is too high I don't know if this image succeed in b&w (because it misses middle tones - this is usually a problems of digital sensors that have low dynamic range). As I mentioned above Mbz1 has much better images than this one. Ggia (talk) 08:34, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well everybody could come here and say: "I see technical problems, composition problems, lack of value" without saying what the problems are. And I am not looking forward for clarification of that review because according to the user, if he "explains them in detail it would be abusive". I do have much better images than this one, but it is not a reason to oppose this one I guess. It's OK, no worries --Mbz1 (talk) 16:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is not black and white picture! It is only photographed against the sun. O siyah beyaz bir resim değil! Sadece güneşe karşı fotoğraflandı olduğunu.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is added to 4 categories! Of course there's a value. Even, if it was an image of ocean waves only, there would have been a value. --Mbz1 (talk) 18:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And three more by me, but...--Jebulon (talk) 11:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is not black and white image. The colors came from settings and mostly because it was taken against the sun. The image was practically not post processed.--03:23, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- I don't have any complaints with necessary post-processing (it's a major part of digital photography). However, the picture contains little or no color (hence it is a monochrome or black-and-white photo). Perhaps you used the "Monochrome" Picture Style setting on your Rebel XTi? LeavXC (talk) 04:15, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I used no special settings at all.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:23, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support That huge spongebob balloon makes me smile. The ways its feet barely touches the surface of the water.
