Oppose I'm a bit skeptical about the cold colours. And I don't find it any special, photography-wise. Do they have to be shown together? Any connection between them? - Benh (talk) 19:39, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment - Other than that they're presumably painted by the same person/people in the same style as part of the same commission and one is on top of the other? I don't know how familiar you are with the conventions of Gothic painting, but it's absolutely normal for different scenes to be part even of the same painting. Using post-Gothic standards of compositional unity for Gothic painting is anachronistic. To be sure, each scene should have compositional unity within itself, but that's very often the limit in this style. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:37, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment The paintings have been detached recently from the wall in order to preserve them better. The people on top of the 700 years old painting are described as monks and laymen or monks and students but nobody exactly knows who they were --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 09:05, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Info created & uploaded by User:Podzemnik - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:06, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Support - I think this picture of Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus is as remarkable as, if not more remarkable than Podzemnik's photos of places in New Zealand under dramatic skies. The combination of the coastal mountains looking almost snow-covered in the crepuscular rays and the weird juxtaposition of the buildings including the odd Anchor Restaurant building with the power of Nature is quite striking. Combine that with a fine composition, and I think you have an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:06, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Support Thanks for the nomination Ikan! One of my favourite pictures from Northern Cyprus. --Podzemnik (talk) 05:46, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry to be the party pooper. Crepuscular rays, like sunsets, are pretty but also pretty common. Apart from them, this is just a fairly ugly modern tourist resort in bad light. I don't think the handling/processing of the bright/dark scene is an example of our (and your) best. -- Colin (talk) 17:33, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Nice light, but the cityscape is not outstanding worth seen. --Milseburg (talk) 07:44, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Support -- Paris 16 (talk) 17:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Oppose I'm afraid I must oppose this because it is not just restored but considerably lightened and contrast-enhanced vs the original. I would like to know what changes were made. I think you are trying to compensate for the yellowing of the linen sheet but you have also made the other colours (pink, blue, green, brown) much lighter too. I am not convinced that all colours would darken (some may even have faded and be more vivid in the original). Perhaps we should stick to removing obvious blemishes rather than trying to emulate what you think it might have looked like when new.
- Also, Paris 16, I think best practice for restoration is that you first upload the original as either TIFF or PNG (I've done this now here). Then you should upload your restored version as TIFF or PNG so that others may make derivative works without suffering from lossy compression issues. Then upload a JPG for others to easily use, preferably with modest compression to help folk download large files. I uploaded the original as a JPG here with Photoshop compression 11 that is about 60% the size of your JPG. I suspect yours was saved at compression 12 (minimal compression), generally considered overkill and wasteful as it is visually indistinguishable from level 11. I've added {{Retouched}} template to your JPG and I think you should add details of what changes you made to the template parameter. I don't think it is educationally honest for us to present files like you did and claim the source is the National Library of Australia when in fact the image here is not same (I have appended a note to the Source entry on your JPG's page). We are fundamentally an educational media repository, so I think these aspects are essential for all our work, and required at FP. -- Colin (talk) 20:18, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

- It is a gorgeous place/photo for a Swede, maybe it's a cultural thing. 'Dynamic' was a bit of a pun since it's a power station but I was referring to effect you get from the angled slope intersected by all the vertical lines in the photo. Placing the house in the middle is nicely balanced by the clearing of trees it is situated in. --Cart (talk) 17:12, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Oppose NO! Sorry, more an answer to the above. Many artifacts of HDR, and very obviously not levelled (tilted to the right). Misleading banks on both sides. On a positive note, I like the colours and the slightly blurry boats (which bring dynamism ;) ). Fairly sure another projection / crop and more careful stitch would improve the picture. - Benh (talk) 19:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Oppose per Benh "Misleading banks on both sides". On Google Maps, and presumably reality, the bank is flat, not 90°. Which, on an educational media repository, is of some importance. It is a shame you opted for yet another 180° panorama since, as Benh notes, there was certainly an opportunity to make a composition with the dancing blurred boats and a portion of the city. -- Colin (talk) 17:01, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Overprocessed, unnatural looking sky. Really noisy shadows (especially towards the top of the window frame). Also not sure what's going on with the edges but looks like the sky was swapped/changed somehow and it involved a really terrible cut & paste. These are not "small technical flaws" imho. Pinging @Cart, @Frank Schulenburg, @Coffeeandcrumbs, @-donald-, @Ermell, @Ivar and @ArildV to take another, closer look. -- KennyOMG (talk) 15:21, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
- I can't be 100% sure, but to me it looks like this window has a layer of UV and light protecting film installed. It is very common here since the sun is so low most of the year, that the direct sunlight straight in from the windows will damage (bleach) the old wallpapers and art in the rooms. Naturally the film can't be cut to exactly match very old window frames so there will be some part of the window without coating and it will look like whiter borders. If you Google "solskyddsfilm", the Swedish word for it, you will get hundreds of companies offering to install it. Regarding the shadows, I don't think you are allowed to bring a tripod into the castle and doing an HDR with just handheld is a bit tricky, so the shadows are probably what you can get with a single shot if you want the view to look ok. Photographing within an UNESCO World Heritage building is a bit different than shooting something from your kitchen window. The shot is made from the central window, second floor, between the two statues in this photo. --Cart (talk) 16:48, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
- I think you are right about the UV protecting film. In Drottningholm (like in many historic buildings in Sweden) a lot of what looks like marble isn't marble but paint on a wood or plaster. // Martin K. (talk) 17:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
- @KennyOMG: I just reworked the edges. The turquoise bars where a strang side effect of the combination of CA-removal, brightening the shadows and darkening the sky in Lightroom, that went by unnoticed while uploading a couple of images on the last day of WLM.
Anyway: This photo is a single shot, no HDR, no retusches, no cut and paste. // Martin K. (talk) 17:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC) - KennyOMG I think making an accusation of sky-swapping without informing the photographer (who is a long term and much respected photographer on Commons) is rather rude. And the "really noisy" shadows just tells me you are pixel peeping a 25MP image and possibly have your monitor set too bright. I don't see anything unnatural about the sky or any evidence of "overprocessing". Frankly this makes me wonder if you need to buy a better monitor, preferably a 4K one where you can't see the pixels without a magnifying glass. -- Colin (talk) 18:41, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry but photographically this isn't an image with "wow" for FP, just QI. The mushroom's are appealing, the very busy background and sheep droppings are not. Our better photos have a more interesting angle and show the underside too (e.g. File:Fuchsiger Rötelritterling Lepista flaccida.jpg).

Oppose Right hand side is cropped arbitrarily for both mountain and train. The rain is visible and appealing at 100% magnification, but at screen size (even a v. high resolution screen) just looks grey and noisy. It is hard to capture rain that looks good and I don't think this works. As a Scot, I wouldn't classify this as a "stormscape" at all. Heavy rain with low-clouds in the mountains is very normal and there's no evidence in the trees of high wind. -- Colin (talk) 16:21, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

- @Peulle: It is not a church and never was. :) It is a medieval Town Hall of Kaunas, the second largest city of Lithuania.

Oppose I don't see why you have to support just because they are who they are. You should support based on other factors as well, I do not get why Diliff being Diliff automatically puts him above everyone else. Sure he is very talented and his pictures are good, but he isn't "easily the best". There must be some competition at least. Now back to this photo, I can see this being used on a postcard on the side. The town hall is quite uninteresting, I think the town hall in some random town in Massachusetts looks much better. Nothing seems so extraordinary. --Boothsift 01:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Boothsift: Please show any picture which have the same detail, quality in this category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Town_hall_in_Kaunas. All of them have some kind of technical issues: quality, lighting, sky, shadows, etc. So there are no solid competititors for this object in the Commons and it is a proof of its quality. I think the discussion about what is more beautiful is pointless, however one fact is really interesting: when this town hall construction began in 1542 there was absolutely no ideas about the United States and all of the town halls in your mentioned Massachusetts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Town_halls_in_Massachusetts) were built 200-400 years later, so the historical value of the buildings are incomparable. -- Pofka (talk) 12:24, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Pofka: It's called a hyperbole. This is so uninteresting that it can't even compare to some town halls in Massachusetts. It's an exaggeration. Second, if anything I'm getting from this, it's that you 1) are clearly a Diliff fanboy/girl and 2) can't tell the difference between featured pictures, valued images, and quality images. Who cares if this is the best image in the category, I can make any category and upload all blurry photos. One of them will clearly be better than the others, but does that give it Featured Pictures status? Also historical is not really a reason. A 30 million year old rock is still a rock. A historical boring town hall is still a boring town hall. This isn't quality images nor valued images, there must be some wow. There's probably tons of more interesting buildings in Lithuania than this non notable town hall. --Boothsift 23:45, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

I see double standards or something (maybe jealous by Boothsift because he wants more recognition too with such angry attitude) and denomination process should be started for these images then because they also are non-wow and many of a way lower quality. -- Pofka (talk) 20:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keeping in mind that I believe delisting an FP should be harder than voting it down if now nominated: (1) Should be delisted. (2) Probably shouldn't be nominated for delisting, as it was unanimously supported in January, 2017. (3) Maybe should be delisted; I'd probably vote to delist. (4) Shouldn't be delisted, because of the fun composition. (5) Good quality and composition, no sound basis for nominating for delisting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose - As for this photo, I just can't get excited about it. The left and right crops are somewhat random, as are the positions of the people on the left. It's a very high-quality image of this building with a normal sky and light, with nothing additional. I think if Mr. Iliff were here, he would say this is not an FP. I don't think it is, either. It's a very good QI, and if our voting that way shows that our standards for what should be featured are higher now than they were, say, in 2017, that's not at all a bad thing but due to the number of excellent exterior pictures of buildings that have been nominated here since then. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- Mild
- None of the above listed pictures I voted for, so it's meaningless to ask me why they are featured. You can ask me instead, why I don't think that the Kaunas Town Hall should not be featured, but IMHO 'nuff said already. --A.Savin 22:04, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
- I don't think any of those should be Featured Pictures (except maybe the 4th one). This one is more of a contender for FP than all of those, to be honest. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 01:33, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Pofka: Please do not tag people for no reason at all. At least check the nominations before accusing us of having double standards. Does any of the nominations you listed even have my vote? How do you know that I would support them? Stop with these accusations. I want more recognition? If I wanted more recognition, I would simply have pinged everyone, wrote in all bold and italicize, increased the font size, made sure all my words were all capitalized, maybe even write change colors every letter. You need to stop making false assumptions and stop accusing people of doing things they did not do. --Boothsift 06:56, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Okey. Let's start denomination process then because we have higher standards now and according to comments almost none of these images should be FPs, so I'm kind of interested how this will sort out in reality and if the same standards will be applied to them as well. -- Pofka (talk) 10:49, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Pofka: To be honest, number 4 is okay but everything else is too boring. I would be happy to nominate them for delisting if you are able to provide a reason.--Boothsift 17:44, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment That‘s why I will never ever again nominate one of my photos. —Granada (talk) 12:54, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Neutral Better but now the windows are gone!--Boothsift 05:22, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, they are gone but the windows itself are not so interesting to my but rather the crepuscular ray, and I definitely prefer here the square bottom Poco2 09:11, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Support Poco2 07:39, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Support Agree that it would have been nice with the windows, but the quality is much better than the last version. I think it's best in some ways to forget the other pic and judge this as a completely new submission, in which case it's clearly interesting enough for FP to me.

Oppose Nice, but does it need to be bended? - Benh (talk) 20:01, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment - No, but unless you see something I didn't notice, that's the architect's fault. No reason to support a photo of a scene of architecture you dislike; I think that's a legitimate reason to oppose and might consider doing so, but without faulting the photographer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:20, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- It looks bended in the sense "cylindrical projection". - Benh (talk) 18:27, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment - That's not clear to me. I won't support this photo, though, because the view is of some of the ugly new buildings that have messed up the view of Midtown from New Jersey. Nothing much used to be in Hudson Yards, though other parts of far west Midtown had lowrise buildings, but at least it didn't mess up the view of the classic Modernist skyscrapers further east. I just really dislike the current period of architecture, and to be honest, most of the last couple of periods, going back to around the end of World War II, with some exceptions, but things have gotten worse more recently. Good photograph, but nothing I love looking at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Highest outdoor observation deck in the western hemisphere and glass barriers that tilt outwards so you can lean out and look down. Also a glass floor in part of it. It does look precarious up there, though... let's not everybody jump at once. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 02:42, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Support I like the way it shows this contrast between the older early 20th-century buildings at the bottom and the taller 21st-century buildings.

Question - I'd like to know what the original size of this photo is (the archived link says 3,432 × 2,243 pixels, which is this file, but I'm unsure that was the size of the original positive, if that would make a difference). I seem to remember my brother enlarging photos in his home darkroom that were less grainy than this in the early 70s, but of course they also weren't historical and my memory could be false (I don't have any of those photos at my fingertips). Anyway, though, this photo seems quite grainy even for its period, to my eyes, so I'm not sure what to think. It looks fairly good at 70% of full screen on my 13-inch monitor, but even then, Judith Resnick is captured less well than the other women, because her darker skin tone is more affected by the grain. You can see that even in the thumbnail. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:32, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment I didn't want to depict the church as a whole but the combination of the church facade and the flowers. I have also pictures of the church, see here and here, but I think, this one is more aesthetic. --Llez (talk) 12:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Extreme angle. Not a striking composition. A bit of a tree and a bit of a church, but nothing clearly here -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:19, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Support I like this. The red of the tree contrasts nicely with the colours of the rest of the pic. I always prefer images of churches when they're shot from a sideways perspective like this one rather than face-on, as I feel you can appreciate what it actually looks like better. Cmao20 (talk) 21:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Support If I take this as a picture of the church only, I am not convinced, but if I see it as a beautiful street view with flowers, the rich ornaments and the church, I really like it. --Aristeas (talk) 07:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose If this is meant to be a pic of the church (which is what the title suggests), then the blooming foreground is WAY too dominant, and is covering up half of the main subject. If the foreground was taken in on purpose, why is it cut off? I cannot see a clear message here. --Kreuzschnabel 18:59, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

The parish church belongs to the Church of Norway and is located in the village of Geiranger, Stranda Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

Weak support I like the surrealism. Daniel Case (talk) 14:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment This image is not about a stack of chairs. This image is about emotions. An abandoned beach, where recently there were a lot of people resting. Abandoned sea. And the sadness is that all the good things ended this season. Perhaps I could not convey the emotions too well, or not everyone is able to feel these emotions. -- George Chernilevsky talk 14:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- With your explanation, I can see what you were aiming at (I have actually taken similar photos myself), but the photo is too much of a close-up for those emotions to come into play. I think it would have worked better if you had taken a wider shot so that more of the abandoned beach and empty sea were in frame, perhaps with the wave line/shoreline tapering off in the distance. This photo does not directly convey emptiness since it's a bit full of chairs. --Cart (talk) 09:54, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Support The emotion splashes maybe not from, But the solitude of the chairs though. I also like the simplicity.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:10, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Info Panoramic view of the interior of the castle of the Moors ("Castelo dos Mouros"), a hilltop medieval castle located in the municipality of Sintra, about 25 kilometres (16 mi) northwest of Lisbon. Built by the Moors in the 8th and 9th centuries, the UNESCO World Heritage Site was an important strategic point during the Reconquista, and was taken by Christian forces after the fall of Lisbon in 1147. c/u/n by me, Poco2 20:54, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment - This seems like a deserving candidate, but I like to look at these panoramas at full size, and then I see that the sky is way blotchier and more line-covered than usual for your work. So perhaps you could smooth out the sky where needed. Also, I assume this is a stitched panorama. Did you indicate somewhere how many pictures are stitched? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:35, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: the number of frames is always embedded in the filename. Will add it also to the description page Poco2 22:16, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

- @A.Savin: Zoom in to the tower - it slowly melts with the sky with its blurry pixels.

Nowadays cameras captures even fastly moving objects without such shaky effect. -- Pofka (talk) 20:05, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- You don't need to teach me how to review pictures in terms of quality. Yes, of course I zoomed in -- truly at 100%. It seems to me, you are judging this photo after zooming in at far more than 100%; then it's of course no surprise to see blurry pixels everywhere; otherwise I simply cannot explain your statements about this and the one below. An other reason might be, that you have an old low-res monitor. There is definitely something wrong. And what can I say about your silly "double standards" accusation? Delisting a long-term FP is a bit different story than promoting a new FP candidate, you know? --A.Savin 03:05, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- At 100% almost every image does not have clear quality issues, except for such obvious reasons as poor lighting, fake colors, etc. If you did not noticed, everyone is zooming way more than 100% to check details because the 4 mpxs era is over long time ago. -- Pofka (talk) 21:10, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- Well, if you usually zoom your pictures, say, at 150%, then also File:Kaunas Town Hall 2, Kaunas, Lithuania - Diliff.jpg will appear rather soft; I've checked. So, your explanation is not logical so far; but in case you zoomed File:Toronto - ON - Toronto Harbourfront7.jpg to the same size as Kaunas Hall to compare, it's clear of course: 2,434 × 3,834 pixels vs. 4,983 × 8,000 pixels are hardly to compare. So, the correct rationale for delisting Toronto Harbour is not "blurry" (because IMHO there is a huge difference between "not pinsharp" and "blurry"), but "low resolution compared to what today's high-end cameras such as Nikon D850 provide". But the current consensus is that we should NOT delist formerly promoted pictures just because of their resolution of less than 10 Mpx. --A.Savin 15:31, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment - Pofka, I have no idea what you are talking about when you bring up "double standards". I certainly do have different standards for whether to support a new nomination vs. whether to vote to delist an existing FP. Yes, that is a double standard, and I think it's a justified one, because unless a photo is an obvious case for delisting, I'd rather we not spend the time looking at and thinking about it, when we could instead look at new nominees. You seem to disagree, but I don't really know what axe you're grinding or why. All of us nominate photos that don't get voted in as FPs, and in most cases, the folks who are nominating actually took the photo, so they should presumably be more likely to have hurt feelings when people find fault with their work, but most regulars here take things more in stride than you seem to be at the moment. I have no idea what you're dealing with in your own life, but if you're finding it painful or upsetting to be on FPC, taking a bit of time off to refresh yourself could be a good thing. No pressure, your choice. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: When I nominate pictures or support nominations for years I also compare it with other pictures in the category. What chances this image would have if I nominated it now? It would be like 99% oppose. So how it can be "This is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (Featured pictures) and is considered one of the finest images."? With all that grain and blurry details this picture certainly is not one of the finest images in the Commons. -- Pofka (talk) 10:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- In this case, I agree with you. But while it definitely makes sense to compare photos to existing FPs, if you're comparing photos with FPs from 2008, you should be careful, and moreover, you're always on firmer ground when a photo you nominate is either clearly superior to existing FPs and/or has some kind of extra quality that makes it striking or especially beautiful. That may not be the way you want it to be, but it's practical. We are never going to go through all of the old FPs and delist the ones that aren't up to current standards. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:05, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: Well, articles in Wikipedia are falling like autumn leafs from Good article / Featured article status, so why it should be different with Good Images / Featured images? With these arguments you just presented English Wikipedia would still have GA/FA about countries and other subjects articles where a comprehensive description is required with ~5 sections and a few references because it was fine in early ~2000, but nowadays such articles receives warning templates and might even be deleted. So when we have such clear steps about GA/FA denominations I see absolutely no logic to protect images which are absolutely not up to date with the nowadays technologies. This image is a very, very clear example of that and as I already mentioned to another person in this discussion: just try comparing sky in this EXAMPLE I took with my former 2012 smartphone in 2013, which produces quite rubish images nowadays, with sky in Front View of George Washington Masonic National Memorial.jpg and you will notice that it is a poor quality even for a 2011 image which was produced with a large sensor DSLR. -- Pofka (talk) 20:55, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- What's the membership of Wikipedia by comparison with Commons? Right. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:25, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: Different languages Wikipedias also have separate logins, however they all delist articles which are outdated from GA/FA status. FA: "DNA is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community." does that remind something? Text in the FP template says that "is considered one of the finest images", so it means that it is currently one of the best images here (which you agreed is false). There is a separate category called "Former featured pictures", which is way more suitable for outdated FPs. Article Commons:Image guidelines#Quality and featured photographic images clearly states issues that are unacceptable for GIs/FPs and this image clearly violates the "Noise" rule. -- Pofka (talk) 10:07, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Feel free to continue ignoring practical questions. This isn't Wikipedia and has just enough membership to pass FPs, and not enough to remove hundreds of old FP designations. For that reason, it makes every bit of sense to have tough standards for removing stars. We don't want to encourage people to waste lots of time. Except that you do want to waste lots of time. Now. Just because you didn't like one photo you nominated being voted down. Sorry, I know that sounds harsh, but that's how it seems to me. And I don't plan on spending more time in this discussion; I've said my piece. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:21, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Weak keep - not seeing any real reason for delisting. Delisting isn't for files that wouldn't pass today. It's also not for files that might pass on a Tuesday but not next Wednesday. That this passed but your recent nomination didn't might mean standards have increased, but can also mean that different people were there, or that too many similar things have been nominated lately, or that the wind is blowing a different direction, or it's just not meant to be. Delisting other images because of that just seems pointy. — Rhododendrites talk | 04:34, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Keep Unapealing to go through the old FPs, if they still meet today's standards. If they did in former times, it should be enough, unless there is a clear wrong decision. I can not recognize that here. --Milseburg (talk) 08:57, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Milseburg: How can it meet today's standards when you can see "snow" in the clear summer sky? My old smartphone from 2012, which I do not use anymore for years, produced similar amount of grain (EXAMPLE), so I am kind of surprised that this image passed in 2011 and have such quality issues even if it probably was taken with a large sensor DSLR. -- Pofka (talk) 10:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose low resolution and technical quality in general compared to what is already at Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Amphibians.--BevinKacon (talk) 11:25, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose - Small and unimpressive. Tomer T, please make sure to look at existing, and especially fairly recent FPs in the same category that you're thinking of nominating in. This is not close at all to an FP, nor do I consider it a QI. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:37, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek, what are you trying to suggest? Tomer T (talk) 12:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Exactly what I said. What part of what I suggested was unclear? If you're already looking at existing FPs in each category, especially recent ones, before each nomination you make, I don't know what to suggest. It's clear that a bunch of your nominations are being voted down as below FP standards, right? So I'm trying to make a helpful suggestion that would help you avoid suffering the same fate repeatedly, but if it's not helpful to you, OK, whatever. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:52, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- I just reviewed your nominations since the beginning of October. You've made a number of terrific nominations that were clear FPs, and I was conflating some other people's nominations with some of yours. Still, there have been some other cases of nominations that were judged to be below standards or borderline. Anyway, I mean no disrespect. I've made at least my share of nominations that mystified others as much as this one mystifies me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:01, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek, I've been nominating pictures in the last few years, and made a lot of successful nominations. You can look at my user page to view all my successfully nominated images over the years, 349 until now, not many users made more successful nominations. Sometimes there are unsuccessful nominations, even one after the other, it's inevitable, and I suppose that the standards may have grown higher throughout the years. But there was some tone of contempt from your first comment indeed. I always learn from the comments on my nominations, there's no need to send me to browse through the tens of thousands of Commons FPs. And I can handle with unsuccessful nominations. Tomer T (talk) 13:58, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- I was just suggesting to look at FPs in the same category (in this case, of frogs), but I apologize for my initial tone, which was indeed unwarranted. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment I have actually tried to take this photo with less hedge and tree at the right, but it was not possible – I could not stand on the other side of the hedge (there’s a pretty steep slope there), and if I moved farther forward or backward along the river, the perspective of the buildings was worse. Therefore I decided it was the best possible solution to include the tree, which is actually interesting because it is typical for the Plataneninsel. --Aristeas (talk) 19:56, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment Very nice, but why blurring all the faces? As far as I understand COM:PEOPLE#Identification, Commons does not encourage this practice. These people are very small in the picture, then I don't think publishing an image with them is really a problem. In any case nobody usually do that when uploading a picture of a touristic site with a crowd for example. Here this attempt to anonymise ruins it a bit at full size, in my view. Beautiful riverbank with colorful buildings, but I would prefer to support the non-retouched version -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:18, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment - I agree with this. When you are outside in public, you have no presumption of not being seen or photographed, and they are not the main subjects. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:22, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment The blurred faces were my attempt to satisfy the GDPR at least partially (there is much unsureness about the exact meaning of the GDPR for photos like this one under German photographers and lawyers), but now that you're all saying it's not necessary, I will be brave and upload a on-retouched version. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 09:38, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Info NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program released a set of "Exoplanet Travel Bureau" posters. They're lovely illustrations in a sort of retrofuturist style. Each of them highlights interesting facts about the planets. The Rains of Terror and Zombie Worlds posters were released after the others, for Halloween I believe. They're a little different, but are nonetheless listed as part of this "Travel Bureau" set. I've uploaded all original TIFFs/JPGs, but am nominating a set of very high quality PNGs which I created from the TIFFs. I would've nominated the TIFFs, but they're both huge and seem to be causing a couple errors.

Comment There is a stitching error (indicated on note) and yes some of the cars look very odd. You can get most stitching software to output the individual warped frames and you may be able to use a middle-exposure to fix the cars with Photoshop. It is very detailed though a cloudy/sunny sky is problematic for multi-photo panoramas as the lighting changes. The shadowed/bright areas look nice when you see the whole image, but they are less good when studying the detail -- a consistent lighting would probably be better. Wrt processing, it is very constrasty and some areas quite dark. -- Colin (talk) 15:43, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Question Amirpashaei, can you comment a bit more about the processing of this work? 25 frames is a lot of frames. Have you used all of them for the whole frame or only portions of it (sky)? what is the time window between the first and last frame? Poco2 10:26, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
Info @Poco a poco: picture merged from 25 pictures. but 5 frames. each frame contain 5 pictures from dark to light for HDR. 5 frames located in the center, top left, top right. bottom left and bottom right. because of using tilt shift lens, there is no perspective problem and you don't need to perspective correction in photoshop. It takes 1-2 minutes to take the first and last photos. The center frame could be missed but I captured it because more sharpness. After 15 minutes I captured ali qapu in blue time. same method. No change in position and camera and lens . https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C4%80l%C4%AB_Q%C4%81p%C5%AB_in_blue_time.jpg for monument of this picture (golden time) I used from second picture (blue time) . because monument in low light had more glory. But the sky light of each photo is its own--Amirpashaei (talk) 11:19, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
Support --Poco2 21:01, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
Both photos (golden and blue) are very nice to look at as a whole. In detail the quality suffers towards the edge of the frame, which is quite blurred with strong purple CA. There are also some HDR artefacts where bright areas with perhaps a little movement have created an unreal effect. You might be able to rescue those by using a single middle-exposure frame, or by trying to align the exposures better. I don't know what software you use, but in PtGui it can be best to let it align all the frames rather than picking the option where it thinks multiple exposures are already aligned by using a tripod -- with HDR highlights with fine detail, the slightest movement can wreck the tonemapping algorithm. Compared to the blue photo, I see you have Photoshopped out some metalwork on the roofs and the fountain pipe in the middle of the pond. I think those are permanent features you should retain: we are not just trying to create a lovely picture but also to faithfully capture what it looked like. Our best HDR FPs have handled the light better than this, particularly on the left side which appears quite blown. Is the vignetting natural due to the lens or did you add some in processing? I think perhaps if better processed this might pass at FP due to the lovely light, but at the moment there are too many flaws. -- Colin (talk) 16:05, 9 November 2019 (UTC)Oppose

Support now. That's a good improvement on the blown areas and HDR issues. Wrt the crop that Cmao20 suggests, it is difficult to crop out the lovely sky with its variation in tone.

Info View of the particular Slettebakken Church located in the Slettebakken neighborhood, Årstad borough in the city of Bergen, Hordaland county, Norway. It's part of the Slettebakken parish in the Fana deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The large, concrete, modern-style church was built in 1970 by the architect Tore Sveram. The church, which seats up to 600 people, was consecrated on 20 December 1970 and has become a landmark in the city due to its unique curved roof line. c/u/n by me, Poco2 06:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose - I also think it could be hard to get a really satisfying form out of this building. Some well-placed clouds on the upper left might do it, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:55, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
Support IMO people are being a little harsh on this. It's not my kind of building, but it's certainly architecturally unusual. I'm not really sure how one could produce a more compelling shot of this church; the angle seems good, and the image quality is good as usual. Cmao20 (talk) 14:02, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment Frank, I'm seeing pixel-level fabric-like textures on things I wouldn't expect to have a texture, such as the pillars. The green wall looks quite blocky and posterised. I wonder if perhaps you have overcooked this one. The lamp-hat is indeed unfortunate. Do you have a frame without it, or that could be used to clone/fix that area? -- Colin (talk) 18:48, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose The wow is subtle but it's there for me; however I oppose because per Colin I'm not convinced by the image quality. There's some odd banded textures here and there, and the image as a whole gives the impression of being slightly unsharp and oversharpened to compensate, if that makes sense.

- Well spotted Ikan! I feel silly now for not checking it better. This version has the signature in the upper left corner while it is in the lower left corner on the other one. Even if an artwork can be shot in different lights, I doubt it will move the signature. Since they are two different paintings, I think we can keep them both and I've changed my Delist to Keep. Also 'ping' 4nn1l2, who raised the subject on the FPC talk page. --Cart (talk) 08:42, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- I didn't look at the placement of the signatures, but I'm quite familiar with artists doing a sketch or sketchy treatment of a subject and then working on it again as a fully-realized painting. For example, we have at least 4 pastel versions of a composition my father then realized as a very large painting, and every version of the composition is different. I'll vote to
Keep, too, as this seems like a good enough picture to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment Hi Persia, some tips for you: Before you nominate photos, please make sure they are properly categorized (this one was over-categorised), that they have a neutral name (subjective words like "beautiful" should not be included) and take a good look at the FP categories so that the image ends up in the right place if it is promoted. The description on the image page should also be better, neutral and include what actually is in the photo. I've fixed the categories and gallery, the rest is up to you. An FP is not just the photo, it is the texts related to the photo too. As nominator, you are responsible for the photo here at FPC even if it's not your own photo. --Cart (talk) 10:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

- Out of the seeming chaos, a good and interesting, dynamic and eye-fulfilling composition is produced, and it's best seen simply at full-screen size. It has a lot of motion and interesting complexity. I doubt that enough people here would be able to get past notions of how individual human figures "should" be portrayed, so I don't really expect this to be featured, but I think it should be and is a much more interesting composition than we usually see at FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:26, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Support

Info Because awww. More seriously, this is a high-resolution shot with excellent quality of an endangered species, and it's far superior to the existing FPs: this one, which is a similar view of the face alone but which has much lower resolution than this shot, and this one which shows the whole animal but is very low-resolution for an FP nowadays. created by Llez - uploaded by Llez - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 13:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Neutral I don't like zoo pictures. They never can outclass wildlife pictures or reach the same status. --Hockei (talk) 17:01, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Understood; thanks for the review. Personally I don't mind zoo pictures as long as it isn't obvious that this is an unnatural setting, and of course for some less common animals zoos can be the best realistic opportunity to get a high quality image. It is worth noting that both the other FPs of red pandas are also of zoo specimens. Cmao20 (talk) 20:49, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment It doesn't change my sensation. I'll never support zoo pictures in FPC. This has nothing to do with whether I find the quality bad or good. Certainly are zoo pictures of rare animals and plants valuable and maybe important for documentation. But nothing for FPC in my eyes. BTW, I gave no oppose but a neutral.

Oppose For me, glare in such a static object in a public place like a church is not acceptable in an FP, especially since it can be avoided by something as simple as a polarizing filter or wait for the sun to move a bit and make a combo of two or three photos (it is after all a triptych, so easy to do in sections) to get the whole piece evenly lit. --Cart (talk) 21:57, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment @W.carter: If you say it‘s so easy in Italian churches I cordially invite you to do better. And, please, look how mandy FPs we have in Italy, and specifically in Brescia. Cheers--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 22:27, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Something more, Carter, churches in Italy are not „public places“ --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info, I stand corrected on that point and I meant no disrespect. But surely a polarizing filter could be used even in a non-public place. Given that you have such a fantastic camera (I am really envious of it!), investing in some filters could be worth doing. I always keep some in my camera bag even if I seldom use them, they are handy to have at times. I have the same opinion as three users before me, yet I'm the one you chose to come down on. --Cart (talk) 19:28, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- @W.carter: I don't feel disrespect but IMO your comment was a bit, let's say "superficial" or hasty? That's the reason I "came down on you". You probably are not aware how difficult, well it is actually forbidden (I read the conditions to take pictures in the churches of Brescia and they made me feel a criminal) to take high resolution pictures inside the churches in Brescia and publish them on the Internet, for any reason, without written permission. I have a polarising filter, which was sold to me as one of the best (Hoya), and which takes away 2 aperture stops that are gold in such difficult conditions. The filter does'nt make miracles. Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 21:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, let there be peace. I have striked my vote and my comment. You are happy when I make superficial comments and fight for your photos but not when I oppose in the same way. Lesson learned. --Cart (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Support - I like that in this profile, some of her character seems to come through. I feel a stoicism, weariness of having to keep fighting, perhaps, but a great strength and determination. I don't remember seeing a portrait of a woman from that period wearing a corduroy blouse or dress, but she is also wearing a kind of hat that was stylish at the time. I think she would have been a very interesting person to have a conversation with, if she could have spared the time in between all of her important work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:00, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Info Night view of the church of Saint Ildefonso, Porto, Portugal. It was completed in 1739 and built in a proto-Baroque style with a façade of 1932 azulejo tilework. The church is named in honour of the Visigoth, Ildephonsus of Toledo, bishop of Toledo from 657 until his death in 667. c/u/n by me, Poco2 06:38, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment - That's beautiful. I'm not much bothered by the places that are blown out on the near bank from all the floodlights, but I'm wondering if you could dial back the building on the far bank with blueish light a little bit and recover some details. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: I've reduced the highlights in that area Poco2 21:26, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- I see a significant difference on the building below the one with the blueish light, not on that building itself, which looks exactly the same to me. In general, you seem to have reduced highlights on buildings that already were not very light and benefited from the additional light, not appreciably from buildings or areas of buildings that were extremely bright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Support - That said, I agree with the others that both versions are FPs. Play with the brightest highlights more if you like, though. You might be able to improve the photo further. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Info Bioluminescent beetle Elateroidea. This larva measures 20 mm (0.79 in). Very difficult to set precisely the focus of a macro lens in the darkness with such a small moving animal. My first attempt one week earlier was not so successful, but I got that video. Very often also the animal just stops emitting its light (like here).This picture was taken at 2 am. Single long-exposure shot (1.3 s) aperture F/10 and 1000 ISO, the best compromise I could get. Bioluminescent beetle species are in regression in the World because of the phenomenon of light pollution.

Comment The image looked a bit odd to me in close up. I had a peek at the EXIF and you have got very high values for colour NR settings, which would tend to reduce detail and create a plastic effect. Compare our existing FP File:Kloster Ebrach BW 5.JPG which despite lower resolution, looks more realistic and natural on the figures and carvings. I've never had to raise Lightroom's standard level of Colour NR in my own photos, only touching Luminance NR when required. -- Colin (talk) 18:59, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Colin: I know the picture, of course. The rosette alone is not that difficult. If you take the organ into the picture it is always too dark because the church only has windows in the upper part. I have summarized three differently exposed pictures using LRenfuse. The smoothing of the edges of the window took some time.--Ermell (talk) 20:51, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- Enfuse isn't the best program for HDR. You might be better off trying Lightroom's own tool (if you have a current version) but the best I have found is PtGui and then taking the 32-bit TIFF back into LR. If you want me to experiment for you, drop me an email with a link to the raw files and I'll send you back a JPG. -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
- Update: I assumed this high resolution JPG was the result of a stitched HDR. Rather it is actually using the high-resolution mode of the camera. I think it is remarkable that one raw file could be processed to capture the dynamic range here. However, the actual resolution captured by the 24-200mm (equivalent) super-zoom lens is much lower than the 78MP presented here. Some effort has been made to increase the apparent sharpness, but at the expense of a loss of realism and too much NR. So, for this kind of scene, I still think "our finest" techniques are stitched HDR, and this image looks a bit too over-cooked for my taste. I think therefore my vote is
Oppose despite having some remarkable qualities. -- Colin (talk) 13:28, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Too bad, a version of PtGui for comparison could have been really interesting. However, thank you very much for the offer of editing and the extensive evaluation.--Ermell (talk) 21:44, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- PtGui needs several exposures to generate an HDR file. I think it does a better job than Lightroom's own HDR . If you had taken several exposures (with exposure bracketing) then we could have tried this. As it is, I'm impressed that you got the detail out of the window on this one exposure. -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, I'm really not seeing anything beyond a documentary photo at QI. The composition doesn't seem to go beyond "Point camera at subject and press click". I think we really need more apparent consideration of angle-of-view, distance-to-subject and lighting. -- Colin (talk) 18:57, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Thank you for your comment.. An explanation of the photo. The materials lay in the grass as the photo shows. I have not moved anything nor touched anything. (they are someone else's stuff). The corner has been thought about. The reel is taken in perspective. To make the different roles of fencing wire visible. The corner of the posts go from the middle left to the top right.

Oppose not a bad portrait. As far as I can tell with my non-existing experience in portrait photography, it's reasonably well lit (apart from that shadow of the collar), sharp where it needs to be sharp, and her facial expression looks fine as well. I'd probably support this at VI or Wikipedia FP, but for Commons FP I feel a bit under-wowed. I mean, in the end it is just another formal portrait of someone in front of a US flag. We've got hundreds, maybe thousands of these, and I don't see what makes this one so special for it to be considered among the best of the best at Common. It's good, but not awesome. --El Grafo (talk) 08:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment regard to Hockei's remark about empty remarks such as "no wow" or "nothing special" without further explanation, I agree with him! You can't do anything about that. You don't learn from that either! The guidelines are clear about this. I quote: Useless reasons for resistance include: No reason "I don't like it" and other empty reviews! So you have to take the trouble to motivate your rejection. Don't you do that. Then I think the rejection is not valid. Regarding the photo above: I have nothing to do with such a swimming paradise. Can't judge the photo in a neutral way. In such a case I do not vote. Then I won't harm anyone.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:52, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Support - Beautiful. Part of the painting is extremely bright, but maybe it should be! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:34, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose It is an amazing scene, but it doesn't strike me as looking realistic. The contrast appears very high and the darks at the bottom appear crushed. I looked at the EXIF and see some odd values. Clarity is +28 which may work for a low-contrast scene but can be a little too high for interiors. Texture (essentially clarity at a finer resolution) is +47 which appears very high. And Dehaze is +71 which I find extremely odd. There should be little reason to use dehaze in an interior scene like this, and that value must surely be the cause of the overcooked appearance. There is a danger with these Lightroom controls in that they are like salt in a meal. It makes it taste better at first, but too much spoils it. Otherwise the scene is high resolution and sharp and the subject featurable. I would however, prefer a more modest processing. -- Colin (talk) 13:44, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Weak support for now. A really beautiful and striking photo! But I agree with Colin that less Clarity, Texture, and espec. Dehaze should make your image even better by giving it a more realistic appearance. --Aristeas (talk) 14:40, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Info View of St. Bartholomew's Church, a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Berchtesgadener Land, Bavaria, Germany. The church, named after Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, patron of alpine farmers and dairymen, is located at the shore of the Königssee lake. It can only be reached by ship or after a long hike across the surrounding mountains. A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 by the Provosts of Berchtesgaden and rebuilt in 1697 in a Baroque style. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 20:04, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment - After reading that, I just searched for FPs in this category, and there is one, by Martin Falbisoner, and its form really breathes where this one doesn't.

Oppose It is a pleasing enough photo, with nice reflection in the calm water, but not sufficient wow or strengths for FP. The centred composition of what appears to be a non-moving boat is rather static. The horizon is a little bit titled. It should be fine for QI IMO, but others may disagree. The compact camera has a tiny sensor compared to most of the cameras used for FP, so it will struggle to match the quality. FP does allow for technical weaknesses if there is enough wow, but there isn't here. -- Colin (talk) 18:53, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Nor do I intend to justify the quality of the photographs I have submitted. I just want to point out that by aesthetic/conceptual option, I do not make any modification of the photos (colors, perspective, contrasts, framings, etc.).

Very weak oppose Sorry to do this as I very much like a lot of your work, but this doesn't do a lot for me. It's great quality and interesting, but I don't think it's outstanding in terms of either lighting or composition. It's just not a very exciting day in terms of light conditions, and the sweep of the panorama seems a little bit random. (For what it's worth I quite often have this objection to very wide panoramas, that they have no real clear focus.) Cmao20 (talk) 21:00, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Weak oppose Technically well done and the compositional balance shows careful thought. Unfortunately, not enough wow for me. --GRDN711 (talk) 21:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Support - I'm not as jaded as you guys. With a panorama that extensive and sharp, I don't really care that much about the overall composition, because I'm too busy looking at the details and enjoying them. This kind of work still wows me and merits a star, in my opinion! Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:22, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Weak oppose It’s hard to set into words why I think this is both fascinating and not featurable. Quality is brilliant, but then mostly per Cmao20 – there's no clear message here, this picture doesn’t "talk" to me, it just conveys loads and loads of visual information on a fine clear day. Might be a matter of taste about what makes an image "special", but since you asked for our opinion, well, there’s mine. The dark part on the left is a bit distracting; I think it would work better without that, though that means outcropping the Alps. Technically it’s a bit oversharpened I’m afraid (see Plettenberg transmitter tower). --Kreuzschnabel 06:36, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment I'm ignorant on this subject. Is this a natural phenomenon, or was the rock intentionally split (by humans)? — Rhododendrites talk | 21:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Frost weathering or more commonly called 'frost shattering' up here in the north during cold weather is a natural phenomena, but people here took advantage of the process before we had explosives. If you want to get rid of a big stone, you light a fire on and around it to heat it, and then cool it down fast with icy water, getting the rock to crack into smaller more manageable parts. Since this rock remains, it is a case of a natural process. --Cart (talk) 22:17, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose - I guessed before checking that this was a smartphone photo. The quality of the picture, which is well below FP quality, tipped it off. It's a good smartphone pic, but that's not the standard here. Blown highlights, and the water should look sharper for an FP. Aside from that, the scene is certainly nice but the composition isn't particularly outstanding for this type of subject. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:12, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Harsh light, and per Ikan Kekek -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:24, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose per Basile – poor quality, harsh light, and cluttered composition. Not even QI for me. The nominator should keep in mind that FPC is about labeling the very best images there are on Commons. While the clear water is nice, it covers but a small part of the frame and is mostly in deep shadow; the composition does not draw the viewer’s attention towards the subject. I really can’t see any outstanding or excellent photographic work here to place this image among our very best. --Kreuzschnabel 06:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose It's pretty and I like the clear water, but I disagree that it's especially unique. You can go to any number of towns and find a stream like this to take a snap of. The image quality is not very good, as expected from a smartphone photo, which rarely produce sufficient quality for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Info created by Carl Larsson - original photo by Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts - edited, uploaded and nominated by W.carter.
- This is one of the most noted paintings in Sweden. It is actually rectangular, but it is almost never photographed or depicted that way since it was made for this grand hall and the artist intended for it so be seen like this, framed by the arch of the ceiling. It is also very tricky to photograph the full painting due to the architecture of the hall. Given how important the painting is, I was surprised at only finding murky shots. I worked with the TIF from Nationalmuseum since it was better and had more information than the Google art file. I think this is the best way to show the painting, with as little as possible of the distracting hall, but with some of the arch included for context. -- Cart (talk) 19:08, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Info stitched from four frames, created/uploaded/nominated by — Rhododendrites talk | 22:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Support This is the rear of the Stata Center building at MIT, designed by Frank Gehry. I took several shots of this building while there last week and selected this one because it's a less common perspective and captures a mix of styles the building incorporates. — Rhododendrites talk | 22:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Support Good architect, good image! --Uoaei1 (talk) 05:42, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose I think this is not the best angle of view of this building.--Claus 06:21, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Great architecture on the building but the shady foreground does not make it look favourable. You’ll certainly find a better lighting for this. Architecture photographs should be crisp sharp and noise-free, so a tripod is highly recommendable :) --Kreuzschnabel 07:07, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Of your other shots, I think File:Stata Center (05689p).jpg has FP potential. --Kreuzschnabel 07:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

- @Kreuzschnabel and W.carter: Thanks. So I actually have two uploads built from the same 10 frames, that one and File:Stata Center (05689p)2.jpg. I decided to use two different stitching modes, work on both images, and see which one I liked better. I didn't intend to upload both, actually, because to my eyes the proportions of the second one are closer to what I remember it looking like (the top of the first one appears a bit squished, and the end result is quite a bit smaller, too). But that makes me curious why the first one stood out? — Rhododendrites talk | 16:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- IMO the yellow building is too prominent in File:Stata Center (05689p)2.jpg for no good reason. The first one is simply easier on the eye. --Cart (talk) 16:27, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- @W.carter and Kreuzschnabel: I've made some edits to the undistorted version to reduce the prominence of the yellow building, etc. Don't feel comfortable nominating the one with the squished windows up top (maybe looks "normal" in the context of the crazy building, but all the windows there are indeed supposed to be portrait-oriented).

Oppose Interesting place but that unsightly metal crate thing in the foreground is quite annoying, and I also think too much of the image is in shadow. I would definitely vote for the image Kreuzschnabel links to, though. Cmao20 (talk) 07:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose - For this composition to work for me, I think you would have needed a strong somewhat diagonal cloud, going across and somewhat down from right to left. The other photo doesn't really work for me, either. I think it's quite challenging to get a really satisfying photo of this building, because of its own very unbalanced composition that needs a complement somewhere in the picture. I know many people won't agree with me about that because they think that Gehry is a great genius, and therefore, every Gehry building is ipso facto great and a fully resolved composition by itself, and it's OK that there are different views about this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- I kinda agree with you, great architecture doesn't automatically make for great photos, mostly because the buildings are so demanding themselves. It's often easier to make great photos of simple buildings since you can add to the scene through the use of a camera. --Cart (talk) 09:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

-- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Support - Could be sharper, but a very large file, still good at 300% of the 13-inch laptop's screen, with a nice composition and mood.
Oppose Nothing is sharp (again, why f/18?), too much noise, distracting foreground object (stairs?), and I can’t see any clear composition nor subject here. What’s the monument – the beach, the bridge, the buildings? --Kreuzschnabel 09:29, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
--Aristeas (talk) 10:53, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Support Like Ikan, I think sharpness is OK given the file size, and I actually like composition and mood.
Comment Are we talking about the same image? ;) 23.8 megapixels is really not that outstanding – here is a large size image where sharpness down to pixel level is not required. Even downscaled to 50 percent (i.e. 6 megapixels), this here candidate is still not sharp. f/18 on a DX size sensor is an odd decision if you want a sharp image, due to aperture diffraction growing along the pixel density. --Kreuzschnabel 22:09, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment I completely agree with you that f/18 is not a good choice, especially on an APS-C camera (I would have used f/8 to f/11 on a “full-frame” camera). --Aristeas (talk) 08:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

- Sharpness is a bit better now but you cannot regain details lost in exposure by subsequent sharpening. The water surface has not been done a favour by sharpening, and I’m still not sold on the composition. If the bridge is the main subject (as I understand), it’s way too distant and too little visible of it. --Kreuzschnabel 06:49, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment Less is more :) this is much clearer. However
Oppose there are sharpening artifacts now all over the frame (foreground sand as well as the background bridge) and the cloning is poorly done (i.e. with visible traces), no this is not at all an FP to me for technical drawbacks. --Kreuzschnabel 10:01, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment - Great improvement, much more relaxing to look at, but I'm sorry, I have to pull my vote from the other version and hold off here until it's clarified whether I'm looking at just wind or disturbing noise in the water. I'm talking about the small lines. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:09, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment How could this be wind? It’s on the umbrellas and in the sand as well. It’s sharpening artifacts – this image is hopelessly oversharpened in trying to save some detail from the unsharp shot at stopped-down aperture. --Kreuzschnabel 10:05, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, this is a nice view but by no means an outstanding image of it. --Kreuzschnabel 20:02, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Es war mir schon klar, dass du kommst und wieder einmal Gründe erfindest oder aufbauschst um ein oder das Foto abzulehnen. "tilted" ist es kaum und das bisschen kommt daher, weil bergab fotografiert ist. Es ist ganz natürlich. Das müsstest du eigentlich wissen oder willst es vielleicht gar nicht. Ich kann mich an Fotos erinnern, die viel mehr "tilted" waren und hier trotzdem akzeptiert wurden. Es gibt auch keine "JPEG artifacts". Was auch immer du da siehst, hat nichts mit "JPEG artifacts" zu tun. Eher wohl mit atmosphärischen Verhältnissen. Denn es war keine klare Sicht, sondern eher dieslich. Sonne und Regen im Wechsel. Daher aus deiner Sicht wohl auch "poor detail". Und, was heißt eigentlich "small image size"? Also, die Frage stelle ich mir selbst. Offenbar willst du irgendwie Kameras mit 20MP-Sensoren hier nicht akzeptieren, raushaben, schätze ich. Es müssen wohl mindestens 40 MP sein. Denn ich habe das Foto ja lediglich von 4:3 auf 16:9 geändert. Es ist also die volle Auflösung. Unglaublich. --Hockei (talk) 21:35, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Wenn du hier ein Bild einstellst, bittest du andere um ihre ehrliche Meinung dazu. Meine ehrliche Meinung habe ich dir gesagt, und es ist mir egal, ob sie dir gefällt oder nicht, ich sage das über das Bild und nicht um dich zu ärgern. Wenn genug andere dein Bild so meisterhaft finden, dass es den Stern bekommt, habe ich nicht das Geringste dagegen und gönne es dir. Was JPEG-Artefakte sind, die es deiner Ansicht nach gar nicht gibt, kannst du schön an den gelben Häusern links hinten am Ortsrand sehen, die in natura bestimmt nicht so vielfarbig sind. Und wenn die Schornsteine links im Hintergrund zur Seite kippen, dann ist das nichts Atmosphärisches und auch nichts vom Bergab-Fotografieren, so steil geht’s da wirklich nicht runter. Da ich selbst nur mit 16 Megapixeln fotografiere, wie du mit minimaler Recherche auf meiner Userseite hättest herausfinden können, sind deine diesbezüglichen Unterstellungen schlicht lachhaft. „small image size“ heißt, dass ich die hier sichtbaren Unschärfen auf einer 40-Megapixel-Aufnahme tolerieren würde, aber auf 15 Megapixel nicht, da erwarte ich von einem FPC bessere Qualität. Tipp: f/11 ist bei µFT schon sehr weit abgeblendet, da kommt es zwangsläufig zu Beugungsunschärfen. Ich hätte hier f/4 oder f/5.6 genommen, die Schärfentiefe hätte locker ausgereicht und die Detailwiedergabe wäre vermutlich deutlich besser gewesen. Und zu deiner Neuversion erfinde ich jetzt mal oder bausche auf, dass sie mir zu gelb ist. --Kreuzschnabel 12:12, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Support 6th prize in the national contest of Spain in Wiki Loves Monuments 2019. Very impressive music hall. There are other views captured by this photographer: this one at 18m rather than 12mm and this one from higher up, but I think this view is the best. It isn't perfect wrt slight vertical tilt and facing perpendicular to the horizontals in the frame, but imo it is close enough that I hope we can support it as it is, rather than insist on little fixes or a reshoot. -- Colin (talk) 08:20, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Too messy background (e. g. a man cleaning the floor). — Draceane talkcontrib. 15:19, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Background bothers me less, what bothers me more is the quality on the edges, they look noisy. The cut-off letter on the left is not convincing in terms of a carefully chosen composition. Viewed a bit more from the right, the car would entirely stand out before the white wall, that would make the composition much clearer. --Kreuzschnabel 17:38, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, it's QI and a useful shot, but I don't think the angle was especially well chosen for FP. There's too much distracting clutter in the background, and it feels a bit like a (good) snap taken at a car show rather than something where the photographer has taken a bit of time to think about the composition.

Support - I think this is a deserving nomination. It's not totally perfect - there looks to be a very light stitching error that's most visible at the top of the picture frame a bit to the right of the left corner, but it's not easy to see, and there's what might be one dust spot in the water, about a quarter of the way from left to right at the far end of the light part of the water - but it's quite good and enjoyable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:51, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Could you please make notes on the description side, I'll try to correct --Llez (talk) 08:44, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- It will be difficult, but first, I have to know how to access the nomination page. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:49, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- For sets, you have to click on 'edit' and then 'cancel' your editing directly. That will get you to the nom page. Hmmm... I thought we had fixed the problem with this and included a normal link to the nom page on these too. Will look into it. --Cart (talk) 09:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- As I said, you can make the notes on the description page of the image, not on the nomination page of the set. That's not difficult. --Llez (talk) 09:47, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Info Ok, there is a technical problem with this nom. When Llez created this page they accidentally removed the top lines in the nom with the link to the nomination page (now restored manually) and also the 'FPVotingPeriodFlag' (can't restore that, maybe some admin can, don't know). You can see there is no "Voting period ends on..." at the top of the page. Without it, the FPCBot will not able to handle this nom. It would be best if you just withdrew this page and made a new nomination so that the nom and photos have a chance to enter the system. You will prpbably have to use another set name though, like "Étang de Salses-Leucate-2" or something. --Cart (talk) 10:19, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Weak oppose Nice view but the main subject is too shady against the dramatic clouds IMHO, and the entire image rather on the soft side for its size.

Comment A beautiful photo, but since you now have several QIs and FPs, it's about time you started to learn how to categorize your photos correctly.

Oppose Very soft (due to f/18 I suppose) and noisy, and the tone mapping applied (I guess) looks very unreal. --Kreuzschnabel 09:24, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment From the lights I guess this is an (early) blue hour shot. Wouldn’t it look better (and more realistic) if it was darker? Maybe also the somewhat soft sharpness is partially due to too much brightening. --Aristeas (talk) 11:00, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Wilfredor: Just to avoid misunderstandings: My comment was not intended as a rejection, but as a suggestion for improvement. Could you try to make the shadows (and maybe also the midtones) darker? Maybe then some of us will change their vote ;–). And even if that does not happen, the image itself may be better – IMHO your photo definitely is worth the extra work. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 17:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Info Another shot by Aristeas. This is a really interesting one; it depicts the so-called Red Mosque, in Schwetzingen Palace, Germany. Strange as it sounds, it was never actually a working mosque; instead it was aimed to show Europe's newfound Enlightenment tolerance to other religious traditions.

Comment The Red Mosque was build by Nicolas de Pigage as a part of the baroque park ensemble. In this photograph, I wanted to show the beautiful view or scene of the mosque together with its reflection in the pond and the old trees; I consider this as the view intended by de Pigage. It is not possible to show the complete mosque from this point of view, because always one part or another is covered by the trees;
but I am sure this was considered by de Pigage, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristeas (talk • contribs) Cart (talk) 14:01, 19 November 2019 (UTC) (UTC)
- A lot of trees can grow up in 200+ years, and parks change. Have you seen the original plans for the park? --Cart (talk) 14:07, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- You’re right that I was hasty in my statement. I want to apologize for that and have crossed out that part of the sentence. It would certainly be better to say that, given the care with which gardens were planned at the time, I think it is probable that the later growth of the trees was already being considered at that time. But in any case, this is the present state, and I wanted to document it with the photo. --Aristeas (talk) 14:26, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Compositionally, has the feel of the best of a set where it was a basically a contest between the photographer and the bird as to whether the bird could get out of the frame before the shutter was pressed, and this is the one where the photographer won by using a slightly off angle. Technically, it's got a very small DoF and a lot more noise than other FPS like this have had. Daniel Case (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Due to scale on image. I forget where the guidelines are, but I'm pretty sure we are encouraged to avoid text on such images and to use the description to state how wide or tall the whole image is. Then if anyone wants to overlay a scale, they can and do it with whichever text style is consistent with their other images. Currently the scale limits the reuse. It is fairly pretty, but when I look through Category:Rocks in thin section I see quite a lot of pretty images. Even from this one sample, this one is more colourful. So I'm not sure what to judge here to say it is among our finest. -- Colin (talk) 11:36, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Template:NoCoins suggests using a ruler like this. Feel free to nominate others from the category, most of those are photomicrographs, this one is taken with a different method. The image you linked is not from the same sample nor the same thin section. IMO both could be FPs. —kallerna (talk) 12:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- {{NoCoins}} isn't policy, just someone's opinion. A ruler or scale is more appropriate where the image has a background that the ruler can be positioned nearby the subject. Here the scale overlays the subject in a way that can't be removed. See File:Aluminium bar surface etched.jpg for example of FP with no scale and with measurement in the description. There aren't any other FPs where the scale is intrusive on the subject. -- Colin (talk) 17:17, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Info Some featured images with similar scales (although true, not over the actual content): File:Hafnium pellets with a thin oxide layer.jpg, File:Vanadium etched.jpg, File:Osmium crystals.jpg, File:Gold-crystals.jpg, File:Bi-crystal.jpg, File:Cu-Scheibe.JPG. Anyways, I added an alternative version without the scale. —kallerna (talk) 19:51, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- That is the vital point -- we ensure any scale is in the body text or easily removed or cropped out. -- Colin (talk) 14:13, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Support - I find this a better composition and at least equally interesting combination of textures as the other one (I like the areas with parallel lines in different directions), but I agree that the other one could also be an FP. We could have a few of them. I recall we've previously featured micrographs with scales on the image. The scales are useful, though I could imagine how it could limit reuse. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:24, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment You could simply include a version without the scale in the file history (upload it and upload the one with the scale again) or make a second version without it.

Comment No scale in this one. —kallerna (talk) 13:49, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Can I remind those voting against this one without the scale overlay that Commons is an educational media repository, not a publisher. As a repository, our highest value is to ensure the image can be used in the most ways. A book or website containing images of such rocks will want to present them in a consistent fashion with the scale either in the caption area or overlayed using the same font, size and colour text for all images. As soon as we put our own scale obscuring the image, we limit use, and limit language. The book might not even consider scale important to the usage. This image could also be used as a book cover for a book on rocks or indeed anything, but can't if there's a big ----1mm---- scale on top. However, Kallerna, you need to then describe the image dimensions in the body text, which should be a simple task of multiplication. -- Colin (talk) 14:13, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

- yes, It's the same file. I believe that it had the potential to be a FP but because of my lack of experience it failed, later w.cart cloned out the leaves and ... As you mentioned it was rejected by 5-6-1(
rejected due to lack of 3 support votes) , IMO it's worth giving a second try. --Eatcha (talk) 07:17, 23 November 2019 (UTC) Oppose - OK, if that's what you want to do. I still think the sides are not sharp enough for FP, especially the left side. After all, it's the exact same photo I already said that about. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:06, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Oversharpened (strong sharpening artifacts in central part), sides still unsharp. Pity, it’s really a nice view and lighting and definitely has wow, but the image quality is too far below FP level. Sorry. --Kreuzschnabel 11:48, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose per my vote last time. It deserves QI now, at least, but it is lacking in detail at full-res (see how blocky the grass looks), and there are visible sharpening haloes around the building. Additionally I still think it looks oversaturated, though not as much as before. It's a beautiful building but I think an FP of it should be a little better than this.

Support Lovely light. The tourists aren't too bothersome, and do provide a scale. Shame the reflection is not captured right to the bottom, within something blurred at the bottom, but this is not too distracting. -- Colin (talk) 17:21, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment Certainly featurable, do you think anything could be done about the colour banding/posterization in the sky? --Kreuzschnabel 17:27, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment If I am wrong about this, please let me know. The resolution for this image in Commons is listed as 6000 x 4000 pixels yet the Nikon D7200 listed in the metadata produces a DX-format image with a maximum resolution of 4800 x 3200 pixels. Over-sampling does not help this image and there is nothing wrong with a DX-format image if well done. Suggest it be uploaded again at the native resolution of 4800 x 3200 pixels, or less if it has been cropped. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:34, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- I have no problem delivering photos with a greater pixel count than my camera's output by combining a few shots. It's quite popular these days, and most newbies don't know it could be useful to declare it in the file description. So the more proper question should be: Muh.Ashar, is this photo made up from several photos, or is it an upsized single shot? It would be great if you could clarify that. --Cart (talk) 18:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Neutral for now. The banding has been reduced in parts, yet not sufficiently fixed. --A.Savin 19:43, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- W.carter Yes it is single image.
- Muh.Ashar, is that you answering? You have to log in so that we can see that it's you answering. I also wonder how there can be stitching error in the image if it's just one photo? --Cart (talk) 09:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- @GRDN711, W.carter, A.Savin, and Cmao20: the Nikon D7200 is natively capable of shooting 6000x4000 24MP image. So I don't know where the idea comes from it is limited to 4800 x 3200 pixels. I think the small irregularity with the line is more likely to be an imperfect attempt to clone out something distracting (litter?). I don't think the line mismatch is noticable enough to oppose, though the pixellation in the sky is a bit troublesome. -- Colin (talk) 15:39, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Colin, W.carter, A.Savin, and Cmao20: Thank you, Colin for the clarification. Per the Nikon spec sheet for the D7200, the maximum resolution is 6000 x 4000 pixels. There is also a 1.3x crop mode for this camera at 4800 x 3200 pixels which was my point of confusion. Sorry about that! As I now understand it, this blue hour picture is a single image of 6000 x 4000 pixels. --GRDN711 (talk) 15:52, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- No matter what it actually is, it might be a good idea to crop away the lowest part, so that the error and the blurred object are not in the picture. I may support the image only if the issue with the pixelated sky is fixed too; which (if ever fixable) requires a new development. --A.Savin 16:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Muh.Ashar: Just for curious, Muhammad – is this a single image taken on a tripod at f/11 with a single 20-second exposure, or is there HDR stitching (built-in or post-processing) from multiple exposures of the same image to accommodate the high dynamic range in lighting? --GRDN711 (talk) 16:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- It would be so much easier if everyone would just sign their comments so we knew directly who is saying what. This isn't Twitter. --Cart (talk) 16:34, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Oppose per Basile Morin: This almost-but-not-quite symmetrical composition does not work for me at all. It immediately makes me wonder: what was so ugly about the right side that it had to be hidden? In addition to that, most of the image consists of either ceiling or benches, neither of which are particularly interesting. The altar area is interesting as you zoom in, but looking at the image as a whole, it is hidden far away in the back. Maybe a longer lens with more "compression" would have worked better? --El Grafo (talk) 08:30, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose I'm going to be honest, I thought a chunk of the picture was missing because I first looked at it on my phone. That's how much unappealing I find it. If at least the crop made it clear what to focus on... but not even that. Aside, it's also a bit noisy (though not a FP killer, but should be easy to avoid given the favorable conditions). - Benh (talk) 18:43, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, I know you like these off-centre compositions and I've voted for them in the past but this one is just too strange for me. The image quality is great, and I get your argument about it including the Cornu Evangelii and not duplicating identical information, but to me the nave of a church is a subject that simply demands to be shot symmetrically. I would actually be happy to support it if you produced a symmetrical crop to cut off the left-hand side, as what we'd have left would still be interesting enough for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 23:16, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment - Good capture, but the bokeh is a bit noisy or has a funny texture; whatever it is, it's distracting to me, so would you consider smoothing it out more? Also, even though the insect isn't fully sharp, I think you should include the category for it, and I'd suggest including it in the file description, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:07, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Oppose I'm not wowed by the composition. At only 3.8MP it is very small for 2019 and the combination of 100mm telephoto macro lens and long 1/20s exposure means the subject isn't sharp. What Ikan notes is that whole photo has been oversharpened to compensate, leading to a false grainyness in the out-of-focus areas. -- Colin (talk) 11:01, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Question - Hockei, is it possible that these insects are really Graphosoma italicum, rather than Graphosoma lineatum? I note also this FP by Alvesgaspar of 2 Graphosoma italicum mating and the color descriptions in w:Graphosoma lineatum and w:Graphosoma italicum. The key point is that on Graphosoma lineatum, "the upperside of the body is orange yellow, with wide black longitudinal stripes", whereas on Graphosoma italicum, "the upperside of the body is red, with wide black longitudinal stripes". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- That's not quite clear for me. Distinction due to the body colour is problematic because of different lighting conditions. The colour of the legs of G. italicum is only "mostly black" not always. In German I couldn't find a differentiation between G. lineatum and G. italicum. Look at here the pictures of G. lineatum. G. italicum doesn't seem to exist. Just in the en wikipedia. Maybe I could write to an expert. But aware the answer will take a while. --Hockei (talk) 12:39, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- It's fine that it would take a while. I see no problem with making this photo an FP in the meantime. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
Info Ikan Kekek, I have the answer from the expert. Just in short, according him G. italicum isn't a separate species but a different (I would express in English --->) type of G. lineatum. G. lineatum is correct. --Hockei (talk) 12:01, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- So a subspecies. If so, and if there's any published source they can cite (since that's what Wikipedia requires), someone should correct w:Graphosoma italicum. Thanks for contacting the expert! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:54, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- I don't mean subspecies. It's just a look what I mean. Not more! There is no proof for the existence of G. italicum. It is a long history about that. --Hockei (talk) 19:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- I see. That makes it even more important to document at that Wikipedia article. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:13, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi guys, I beg to differ, G. lineatum and G. italicum are two distincts species. See that paper. They made a genetic comparison of italicum and lineatum. The paper is in french though, which is probably not helping to spread the word... They are 2 different populations italicum is found in continental Europe and has mostly black legs, while lineatum is only found in north Africa and has red legs. With a twist for the populations of Sicily and Sardinia, that have their own sub-species. The genetic study also finds that G. rubrolineatum, from East Asia, is actually a closer relative to italicum than lineatum is with italicum. Unless there has been a more recent study proving otherwise, we have to consider G. italicum and G. lineatum as distinct species--Hiouf (talk) 12:34, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Info @Hiouf and Touam: The genetic test alone is not suitable for dividing this species into two different species. Because then millions of specieses would have to be redefined in different species, subspecies, sub-subspecies and so on. Would you say that, for example, Asians, Europeans and Africans are different species of humans? Because we all have different genes. I don’t think so. Do G. lineatum and G. italicum have overlaps of there habitat? I think so. Can G. lineatum and G. italicum together produce offspring that are capable of reproduction? I think so. So you cannot speak about different species but at most about varieties. You can write and speak in the French and English wikipedia what you want. But in Germany this is not scientifically recognized. It remains with Graphosoma lineatum.
- Hi @Hockei: The genetic test is a very strong test to ID a species (1,2,3,4). The scientific community is using it extensively, and has even created recently a consortium to support the developement of DNA barcoding (5,6). And yes, you are right, there are probably thousands of species, if not more, that we may have wrongly classified, some taxa to merge, some to split into different species or even higher taxonomic levels(7). There are literally tons of papers on DNA barcoding, I've put only a few as references. Of course, splitting or not a species depends on the genetic distance between populations. Humans are all genetically of the same species because the genetic variability inter-population is not significant (counts for about 10% of the variability) compared to the intra-population (the other 90%) (8,9,10). Coming back the Graphosoma case, we have 1) two populations that are geographically separated without overlaps (italicum in Europe and lineatum in North Africa); 2) distincts morphological characteristics that are specific to the European and African populations ; and 3) a genetic distance that supports the morphological and biogeographical evidences (11). The ulimate test would be inter-breeding, but to my knowledge no one has done it, and I doubt anyone will as this is very time-consuming. So based on the previously mentionned evidences, we have here all the reasons to think those are different species (until proven otherwise). There are many other examples, Eurygaster maura/testudinaria or Carpocoris mediterraneus/fuscispinus. Last but not least, if you or the German scientific community think we should stick to G. lineatum, why not, but it would be great to hear why and present a strong case contradicting the latest published works. Saying "I think so" or "I don't think so" is not quite enough scientifically speaking. Hope you can re-consider this case, I definitely would if new light is shed. Cheers.--Hiouf (talk) 21:10, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Hiouf: Hi again. You can forget "I think so". The main question still remains to be answered. I have previously talked to a bug expert and independently of him with a biologist. So it does not change my position. Anyway. We should end the discussion hereby. How the species are to be determined, scientists and biologists have to agree on. Certainly not both of us. And besides, here in FPC anyway is not the right place. Have a nice evening. --Hockei (talk) 16:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

- Hi @Hockei: you talked to specialists, I talked with a couple of Pentatomoidea experts too. I've also seen discussion with a third entomologist who changed his mind on this topic after the last paper. But this is not about who has the most experts on his side, this doesn't lead us anywhere. Although on a personal note, I would be curious what are the arguments of your expert to challenge the morphological, geographical and genetic evidences. I agree here with you that the decision is anyway left to taxinomists. I'm looking forward any new paper to see how it evolves. But if there are not, what does it mean, that everyone agrees with Lupoli, 2017 ? This question has been debated for more than 100 years, I guess it'll take another few years to have a clear consensus (or not) ;).--Hiouf (talk) 07:54, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @Hockei: I would like to share with you 2 things I thought you might find interesting. The first one is a paper by Berend Aukema, a dutch Pentatomoidea specialist, and head curator of Fauna Europaea. In his paper from July 2019 (here), he confirms the validity of G. italicum as a distinct species. The second one is a photo (here) taken by Paride Dioli, showing a G. semipuctatum and a G. italicum in copula. However, we don't know if the mating produced offsprings. P. Dioli is an italian entomologist, who was a believer of the synonymy between lineatum and italicum, but has now agreed on the validity of italicum after the molecular analysis. In the comments of this photo, there is a very interesting discussion between P. Dioli and R. Lupoli (who made the molecular analysis back in 2017). This discussion suggests we have still to learn about the population of Sardinia and Sicily.

Info Spherical panorama of gothic church of San Pedro de los Francos, in Calatayud, Aragon, Spain. The original temple was founded in the 12th century by order of Alfonso I, "The Battler". He wished to offer the French who settled in Calatayud after helping him in the Battle of Cutanda (1120) against the Almoravids a place to pray. The current church was built two centuries later. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 07:56, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Comment I don't understand these criticisms about distortion. Is it possible that some people are misinterpreting the point of this image? You're not supposed to view it as a static photograph but as an immersive panorama, using the 360° panoramic viewer on the image page. If you're viewing it without using that, of course there will be huge barrel distortion, which is the consequence of a projection necessary to create a spherical panorama. But view it in the 360° viewer and it suddenly looks completely normal. We've promoted this kind of photo before e.g. this. Cmao20 (talk) 16:35, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Comment There is barrel distortion on several edges in the panorama viewer. See the pulpit colums, esp. the one on the right. --Kreuzschnabel 19:28, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
