- Oppose Fine idea but colours look oversaturated to me (e.g. the red shirt of man by the cleaning utensils), and there are some stitching errors in the overhead wires, let alone the ghosting train on the left disappearing onto platform 9½ :-) --Kreuzschnabel 05:04, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Weak supportbecause I would have preferred this or this --Ivar (talk) 08:42, 21 September 2014 (UTC)- I withdraw my support to support alternative candidate. --Ivar (talk) 06:30, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment May be you're right. My other favorite is this. It's a difficult decision. I think I'll nominate the other one as alternative soon. --XRay talk 13:56, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Well, I prefer this version from a compositional point of view. Very nice light and atmosphere, which shows it sometimes pays off to get up very early in the morning. I have one question though: You have a nice 20 Mpixel camera, why are you only giving us 4.5 Mpixel here (I realize it can't be 20 Mpixel due to the crop, but there is a long way down to 4.5 Mpixels)? Does the HDR processing introduce so much noise that you have to downsample aggressively to get rid of it? -- Slaunger (talk) 14:49, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment It's simple: I'm using a slow internet connection. The file size of this file take some minutes, that's acceptable. In special cases a larger file can be uploaded - 10 up to 15 minutes each file. --XRay talk 16:54, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

- OpposeThat's a nice bike! But what's special about the photo?
- Daniel Case: please, don't take this as an offense but as a genuine question regarding the consistency in your critiques. How come don't you like a tight crop when it makes sense to emphasize the fact that a car is being parked in a tight space, but that the unnecessary tight crop in this photo doesn't bother you? I'd be curious to understand your point of view. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 03:04, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- OK, good question. In this case, despite the crop, I can tell what's around the vehicle. In the case of the Chevy, it was an informed attribute—you can't tell from the picture that it's in a tight space. Daniel Case (talk) 03:19, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation! My turn, I guess—this picture brings me a discomfort because it's lacking space to "breathe" whereas this same discomfort in the Chevrolet's photo is a wanted "feature" to add to the context. I thought the tight space was obvious enough from the walls on each side but I understand if it isn't. (Sorry for the slightly out of topic) -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 03:34, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose Crop is way too tight, and there’s a part of the bike cut off (emerging behind the mirror). Blown reflections. Not a bad pic but below FP threshold for me. --Kreuzschnabel 04:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. OK. I see once more that it is useless for me to present a photo here. For explanation: The „part of the bike“ behind the mirror is a little bear. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 06:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I was speaking about the pole above the bear. Regarding your first point: Nominating an image here is a request for discussion, it’s like asking "tell me what you think of it". And that’s what we did. Nobody was insulting you, nobody asked you to go away. Why such a perfectly matter-of-fact discussion is "useless" for you is beyond my understanding. --Kreuzschnabel 08:47, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- This pole is a flagg-staff at which the bear and a pennant are fastened. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose It is a nice bike, but the crop is too tight, and I find the background is distracting, sorry. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

- Info As I already wrote at another nom of mine, next to Diliff's, I´m also a big fan of the church interior photography by DXR. This one shows pretty good why. ;-) Quality and resolution are great and the pov with the choosen projection gives a good impression of the size of this cathedral. c/u by DXR - nominated by me -- mathias K 19:28, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- mathias K 19:28, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support impressive --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:56, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support Thanks Mathias! To be honest, I found Rouen Cathedral very difficult to shoot since the side windows are pretty much hidden (it doesn't have side aisles, which imo is quite uncommon) and the modern chandeliers really are quite odd. Looking back, I would have preferred using the +/- 4EV technique I use now, but I think the result is still nice. BTW: Since shooting such a pano takes quite some time, I had the pleasure to have tour guides explain in English, French and German that the nave of the cathedral isn't actually that high compared to its peers. Nevertheless, to me, Rouen Cathedral is still one of the most impressive buildings. --DXR (talk) 22:23, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- It does seem to be a very dark cathedral, and I think that (with the HDR processing, I assume it was Photomatix?) has the effect of giving it more of a typical overprocessed HDR look than some of your other images. It's funny how impressions of a church/cathedral's interior height can be deceiving. I was recently reading the List of highest church naves and there are some surprises there. The highest nave in the UK is not even a cathedral, it's actually a (not very attractive) church! The list seems to not be complete though, as Rouen Cathedral's nave is 28 metres high apparently and should make it onto the list, near the bottom. Diliff (talk) 07:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, back then, I processed it with Photoshop's merge to HDR. I understand and agree with your comments, but I actually quite like the look. I have run the source files through Photomatix and I am not convinced that the results I'm getting from that are better (I like how the contrast is actually not too high in the current version). Perhaps you would like to comment on that version. If I look up images on google, they all seem to have a somewhat odd look, so I guess it is somewhat innate to the church itself. Of course, everybody is free to judge the results and I certainly won't have any grudge against those who think that this version is not quite FP. --DXR (talk) 22:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- I prefer your Photomatix version I think. I can't say what is more accurate looking though (Photomatix tends to oversaturate colours). Diliff (talk) 00:06, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

- Info View of the Royal Albert Hall during the blue hour from Prince Consort Road, South Kensington, London (England), showing the South Steps and the statue of Prince Consort Albert (work of Joseph Durham in 1858), to whom the hall was honored by his wife, Queen Victoria. It has a capacity of up to 5,272 seats, and since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, world's leading artists from several performance genres have performed there. Each year it hosts more than 350 events including The Proms concerts, that take place annually each summer since 1941. All by me, Poco2 22:03, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

- weak Oppose for now. WB seems a little bit off and/or oversatured. But easily fixable... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:17, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support Frankly, I find it excellent. About WB and oversaturation: it depends of many factors, mainly due to the monitors settings. Only the photographer knows, IMO. Iconic monument, very good technical achievement, "blue hour" well managed, even the moving leaves are not disturbing. Little flaws (or comments): distortion of the lamps in foreground, and I'ved crop at right, for a better symmetry.--Jebulon (talk) 08:57, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose That's a lot of orange steps and a lot of midtone. I wonder if the HDR/levels-adjustment has resulted in the steps being too light. They dominate the frame leaving the hall in the background, hiding behind the statue (which itself isn't very well lit). I'm afraid the combination of orange and blue here makes me queasy. Perhaps earlier there would have been some light in the sky to make the surrouds less orange. From my own recent experience, I think the digital camera can have a tendency to oversaturate scenes like this with a result unlike the one I experienced with my own eyes. Perhaps we have a tendency to set the exposure levels to achieve brightness like daytime but a darker, less saturated exposure would be more natural. -- Colin (talk) 11:27, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Oversaturated. The image is only orange and blue. -- -donald- (talk) 13:15, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Will upload this evening a new version, hold on Poco2 16:54, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Alternative
[edit]- Info New version with changes in crop (bottom, right), WB, perspective, saturation and sharpening Poco2 18:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment So, Martin, Jebulon, Colin, -donald-, Jiel does this version (still) deserve FP status in your opinion?. Btw, the stairs are not symmetric to the longitudinal axle of the hall + statue, but with the new crop (bottom and right) and some slight adjustments in the perspective I hope that it isn't such a big issue anymore. Poco2 18:36, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support Yes. Thanks for info about symmetry, I did not remember that. But the previous version is still very good, and I disagree (friendly) with the opposers.--Jebulon (talk) 19:00, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- weak Support much better! Colors are still very saturated (hence the "weak"), but the overall impression is much more natural now --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 20:01, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

- The file is categorized in Chile, so i think the sculpture must be there, and the author of the picture upload it to flickr, and then another guy move it again to commons from there, so know it's exact location in Chile is hard, but there's a link on the file to the author in Flickr, if you want to ask him for more details. In fact i proposed the picture for the originality of the sculpture, that as you say it's faszinating. --Alexxxos (talk) 01:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info This is a very original frontal portrait of a Giant Manta, with a 7-metre wingspan. It reminds me a living UFO. Let me please make a few comments regarding the quality of the image: images of large animals in deep water cannot be 100% sharp, as 5 metres or 10 of water will always blur slightly the edges etc. Also, due to their size, they are rarely perfectly lit, as no flash can illuminate a 7-metre animal underwater. Finally, you will notice a lot of white specs, more or less out of focus, in the water... that is plankton, which the manta is feeding on. Anyway, all this said, I hope you like it...

The colors are a bit monotone and the light is slightly dull even though the combo could work well with the mood of the picture... but which mood?

- Comment This species is actually disappearing, so the importance of portraying these pictures. In this case is not the same iguana, not the same genre and not exactly the same place. Unlike other iguana, this iguana is a male, of younger age and with differential characteristics. Is that possible for a normal person, most iguanas are equal, however, to study an expert each has unique characteristics. It is easy to think, for a western traveler, who travels to China, all Chinese people are the same person, however, for a Chinese each person is different. This is from a neurological view, when we are not used to watching a race of animals or people, for our brains do not need to find features to differentiate them, because, after all, is not important yet.

- Info Thanks for the positive feedback so far, and the rich annotations. Villy Fink Isaksen spotted a flock of migrating birds in V formation (most likely geese), and on closer inspection it turned out that there were (at least) five more formations of birds (some clearly V), but they were hardly noticeable due to a rather aggressive denoising I had applied in the sky. I have now made some 'holes' in the denoising mask and fiddled a bit around to make the migrating bird formations more clear in a new upload. I also removed a spot. I feel it is a no-brainer improvement, but if some find it has been done in a clumsy way, to give me a heads-up, such that I can either revert or try to do it better. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I struggled my way thorugh some vegetation (and illegally intruded, I think, schhh) to get the most optimal view given the constraints of the site.

- Oppose I am neither convinced of the quality, nor of the light. Also the composition is not perfect (slightly decentered). IMHO the sky is still too bright thus that it distracts from the main motive. I guess it was the beginning of the blue hour. Also tried 15 minutes later? Why f/13 at 18mm? --Tuxyso (talk) 09:50, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
- f/13 was chosen because it's the sharpest option for this lens (at least mine), and because it gives the people some amount of blur to anonymise them. I have to admit that this is not a well-planned shot, it was just taken on the way, without a tripod or any time to wait for the perfect balance of light. I can't disagree with your points of criticism. I might take this photo again at some point, with more time and equipment. Although Colin's comment suggests that might not be worth it. :) — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 19:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support Very good macro, great definition and depth of field, lovely black background, and good choice of insect position, almost parallel to lens (better use of depth of field). Perhaps a little bit too many reflections in the hairs etc (flash too strong?), perhaps you could try to fix those, toning down the highlights? --Arturo de Frias Marques (talk)
- The highlights are too bright to be fixed using highlight protection. They were slightly exacerbated when I applied sharpening. I can try to redo the sharpening more carefully if you really think it is necessary, by unselecting the bright spots. Gidip (talk) 10:43, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

This is because of laziness and because it is a lot more tricky (requiring some cloning and ‘making up’ what I think should be there). The halos are an inevitable result of stacked images of non-flat subjects. The camera sensor either saw these areas as uncontaminated but out of focus (when focus is on the foreground) or focused but contaminated (when focus is on the background). I’ve had a go at improving their look and replaced the image with a new version. Thanks again for commenting Des Callaghan.

- Oppose I am impressed with the technical accomplishment but it is flawed. I don't like the way it has been abruptly cut-out on black. Shooting a subject to have a pure white or black background isn't trivial but you need to get most of the way there in reality and only let software help perfect -- rather than getting out the scissors. But mainly I don't think the bright glow in the middle and round the "tendrils" is real, vs an artefact of the flash. It looks like some alien being charging up its death ray :-) The stacking in that bright middle section goes a little haywire too. -- Colin (talk) 16:20, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

- Weak oppose I am a sucker for symmetric buildings, the light is good, and so is the technical quality, but sorry, the wow just isn't there for me. I am afraid I cannot explain exactly what is lacking. Maybe it is the proportions of the building, which I just find unbalanced, although I cannot pinpoint it exactly. -- Slaunger (talk) 16:40, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment -- There appears to be a bit of an orange cast throughout the image, not just the building. Perhaps it's the true color of the light given the time of day? --Kbh3rdtalk 18:56, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- So I downloaded a copy and applied auto white balance in Gimp and then dialed down the saturation a notch. I don't know if the results were FP, but the image was more pleasing IMO. A more careful manual adjustment might give even better results, of course. I normally appreciate saturation punched up a little bit, but there's a point where it becomes counterproductive. --Kbh3rdtalk 19:12, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Claus spotted some distortion the lower right, affecting St Margaret's church. This was due to having the centre point of my projection too high, causing more wide-angle-perspective distortion/rotation than is necessary. I redid the stitch, including two extra fames and with a lower centre-of-projection. The church isn't perpendicular to the camera, so still has some small angle to it's horizontals remaining, which is natural. I've included slightly more to the left, which brings in another tower and half of St Paul's.

- Weak Support. I actually appreciate the f/2.8 aperture as it helps to give focus on the four people in the front and separate them from the background. It gives a sense of depth to the herd. Quite noisy and not that sharp in full resolution, but it is also a pic of very high resolution. I find that in a more modest 4 Mpixel review size, the four persons are sharp and no noise is apparent. The exposure time of 1/1600 s and ISO 2000 is a rather odd combination though for this shot. -- Slaunger (talk) 10:16, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral The light and composition and the entire setup is very pro-looking and nice shadow too. It is, however, not as detailed and crisp as I would expect, even considering the large pixelage of 16 Mpixels. There is sort of a washed out appearance to the fruit. I am wondering is this is because the diffraction limit has been hit with an aperture of f/16? I do not now the exact shooting distance, but it is my feeling one could have opened the aperture to something like f/13 without significant loss of DOF. Focus stacking would have been another option. -- Slaunger (talk) 10:02, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Slaunger: Thank for your opinion, in this case f/16 + 50mm lens, this is my sharpest lens, but it's a 125.99 USD lens, and I think that I tried f/13, but DOF became prohibitive, see the File:Maracujá em fundo preto (2).JPG; I will try focus bracketing for future photos, but I broke my clamp lamp, so nothing soon.

- It breaks the structure of the composition. Line of eye sight is very important because we follow other people's eyes and it guides us round a picture. The left clown is looking at the juggler, which is great. The right clown is probably looking at his own elbow. Perhaps a fraction of a second earlier, he was looking up. Sorry, this is like taking a portrait photo and the person blinks. The lighting and focus might be perfect but the shot damaged. -- Colin (talk) 18:12, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

- Kreuzschnabel: could it be that you suggest that it is oversharpened due to the texture of the rings in the water and the border of the pond? Looking at them I could come also to the conclusion that it is oversharpened, but it isn't really, as you can see here. Therefore I am not really sure whether I should reduce the sharpness.

- Oppose Technically well done, lightning seems good and I like the arrangement. Surely a good candidate for both Quality and Valued Images. Unfortunately it's not … well, let's call it: aesthetically pleasing to my eye because of the background choice. There's nothing wrong with a grey background per se, but in combination with the matte aluminium (I guess?) of the main subject, the whole picture look kind of dull, the subject doesn't really stand out. Maybe a black background would have worked better, though it probably would have been difficult to make the handle stand out against it. Or a nice wooden kitchen table. Maybe even get fancy and try some red velvet ;-)

Besides the image looks CW tilted (trees at the left are leaning to the right, the trees at the right don't) or had the trees suffered by a strong storm?--Tuxyso (talk) 10:28, 30 September 2014 (UTC)- Tuxyso. Yes in my region there is omnipresent strong northern wind (Tramontane) or northwesterly wind (Mistral) and so many trees are leaning, see this image or this one. The compositional idea is a close up on this grove of tree in the last hour of the sun light, the result is enough dramatic for my enthusiasm. -- Christian Ferrer Talk 10:59, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

- Comment The crop is too tight and kills most of the wow effect. This version is better. I would nominate it again, maybe with slight brightening and partial cropping of the bottom part (not up to the tree line, much less). Gidip (talk) 18:12, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with Gidip. Espcially the bright midground (the front part on the ground close to the trees) is very good. But Christian, don't listen to too many people, they all have different opinions :) --Tuxyso (talk) 18:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with Gidip that something between the two images crop would be best - retaining the sandy path but losing the messy scrub/stones that are in shadow in the first. I'm struggling to find the subject/lighting dramatic enough for FP. We've got some storm damaged trees on a lovely day, which is nice but that's all. Perhaps on a stormy day with dark clouds and rain lashing and in grainy black and white? Sorry, but I don't think this grove has enough wow. -- Colin (talk) 18:29, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose Needs a serious restoration to became FP, IMO. This is "just" (no offense) a passive copy.--Jebulon (talk) 21:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I don't share your opinion. The guidelines for artworks simply says the reproduction should be of high quality, as this plainly is. They do also say that a certain amount of extra manipulation to remove flaws is permissible (they don't say it's mandatory), but I can't see any obvious flaws that do need manipulation. Naturally users and re-publishers can do any such manipulations they feel they need on their own account. As for the sort of restoration you envisage, I think you are setting the bar much too high. It would mean me flying thousand of miles to gain access to the original and indulge the kind of attention to detail applied by the original engraver. You may not mean to give offence, but you have and I am withdrawing an offer of work I made here in protest. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 23:36, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
- That seems quite confusing to me. I do not see a connection between the personal opinion of Jebulon, who has without doubt contributed many good restaurations, and the WLM project.

Am I wrong or it looks very slightly out of focus, especially looking at the borders of the cells? Perhaps it is the texture of the subject that looks "soft", or perhaps given the dimensions it could not be better? --Arturo de Frias Marques (talk)
- Info Thankyou for the kind comments. The softness is, I think, mainly due to the fact that the shoot was fully laden with water during the photography. It had to be in this condition otherwise it would have shrivelled. Des Callaghan (talk) 16:11, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info The Admiralty Arch is a landmark arch-formed building located between The Mall and Trafalgar Square in London (England). The building was designed by Sir Aston Webb and constructed by John Mowlem & Co by order of King Edward VII in memory of his mother Queen Victoria. The construction concluded in 1912 and the building is located next to the Old Admiralty Building, from which it was named. The building has been always used for government offices until it was recently leased to be used as a luxury hotel. All by me, Poco2 22:07, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

- Question Main tower leads quite a lot to the right. Is it leaning in reality or is it just the perspective? -- Slaunger (talk) 20:37, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I can't check the original raw file right now, but I think it's rather perspective than actual leaning. Please note the vertical lines on the right side being also slightly towards center. I did adjust the perspective to the point where the collateral distortion of horizontal lines was still bearable, but did not remove it completely. -- Amadvr (talk) 19:15, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. I understand the compromises, hmmm, I can't make up my mind, as I do find the leaning both ways a bit distracting, on the other hand I do not like over-compensating for perspective either. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info Please note: This is the full version initially uploaded by the photographer Dmottl in September 2012. It was subsequently deleted in October 2012, after which I transferred it to the English Wikipedia under w:Template:FoP-USonly and proceeded to nominate it for featured picture there. They asked for a tighter crop for EV (encyclopedic value) reasons, and I obliged, but I and several others noted that Commons might prefer the original, uncropped version. The crop ended up being promoted to English Wikipedia FP.
- Info This month, the crop was transferred to Commons by A.Savin, but under the title of the original version. To prevent confusion, I have moved it back to the "crop" title and restored Dmitry's original upload at the original title.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Face too dark, clouds overexposed.

- Info all by me, -- DXR (talk) 19:24, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support The interior of Eibingen Abbey. The outside of the church is neo-romanesque and thus makes the church appear very old even though it was only built around 1904. Quite differently, the interior is colorful and has many detailed paintings mainly celebrating the life of Hildegard von Bingen, something very unusual for churches in my region which are usually rather plain. -- DXR (talk) 19:24, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support I had to restrain myself from making a deep YAICP sigh when seeing the image (Yet Another Interior Church Pano). But then again it should not be held against you that we have recently seen so many nice church panos that it is hard not to feel "saturated". Excellent exposure control, detail level and technique. Wow too, although not as much as other ICPs we have seen recently. I appreciate the interior is from a slightly different period and of a different style, then most other things we have seen. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:43, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support. Ahh, the ol' YAICP problem. ;-) But I suppose we have much more exterior building photography, are you also tiring of those Slaunger? In any case, I'm soon going to start uploading some ICP from Lithuania and Latvia and I regret that you may see one or two of them here also! The problem I find is that almost all of my ICP images are of very similar technical quality, so the question remains: Which one should I nominate? It feels like cheating by only nominating the most interesting/beautiful interiors because I'm only capturing it; I didn't create it. So I like to see the less ostentatious interiors too. Diliff (talk) 00:21, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Yeah Diliff, there are also certains types of exterior architectural shots, which could use a bit more diversity;-) But of course I am mostly joking regarding the YAICPs, but it would be nice to also have more nominations of other types of interiors than churches for a change. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:25, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
- Haha, not wrong, but churches are usually nice subjects since they do not charge you to enter (well, at least in Germany), they are usually out of copyright and calm enough to concentrate on panos. An you have them basically everywhere. Palaces etc. are tougher to shoot without being told off, espc. with tripod, train/subway stations around my location (Frankfurt etc.) are very busy and still not out of copyright... --DXR (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
- It's much the same reasoning for me. :-) I'd love to be able to shoot more varieties of interiors but as you say, churches are usually free and less likely to restrict tripods. The only thing that staff in many of the English cathedrals were quite concerned with was if I was shooting 'commercially'. I said I wasn't, which is true, but I knew it would ring alarm bells in their heads if I tried to explain the Creative Commons licensing and how it could be used commercially, so I kept the conversation short. ;-) Diliff (talk) 20:13, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

I hope other church interior photographers will not become frustrated because such interior panos need a lot of post-processing and are technically challenging and usually require special pano hardware.

Weak Oppose.Nice atmosphere and composition. I think the sky should be cropped a bit more. Nice exposure control on the lamps - it is not easy. I am not happy about the detail level of the main building, which has a washed-out appearance with not many details visible. I think the building facade is a bit too dark. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC)- Neutral Better now, thanks. There is some strange light bands on the edge of the roof on the left hand side, and also on the left-hand side of two of the chimneys. Light on the trees to the left look a bit artificial/strange too. Not much structure in the roof and brickwork, but better than before. On the positive side: Very nice compo. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:05, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose It is a nice picture and a good QI. I find the sky is boring, the reflection in the water is very nice, the main subject in itself I find not very interesting. The fraction of the image used for the water surface is perhaps a bit too large for my taste. Overall a little dark. Composition is good but not quite spot on. -- Slaunger (talk) 10:30, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your detailed comment, Slaunger. I for myself find the object very intersting. The building with its architecture, position directly at the water and its function is very unique. The German Wikipedia article Wasserbahnhof, an approximate translation is Water Station, directly points to the building shown here - also very unique. In combination with the nice reflections (the reasons why I cannot crop more of the water) and the morning light I find the photo good enough to nominate it here. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:41, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand the boundary conditions, and I certainly agree it is good enough to nominate. It just does not feel spot on from a compositional point of view for me. I see other reviewers have another opinion, and that is just fine. -- Slaunger (talk) 09:31, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose QI, but for sure not a FP. Object is IMO n.th. special. A regular house with a small pavilion roof used as water station. Despite of ISO 125 the sensor seem to be overburden: the noise performance isn't really good and sharpness is poorly (f/5,6 isn't best choise here). The scrub in the lower right corner is disturbing. Overall impression is borgin. --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:09, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I cannot see why the sensor is overburden. "Sharpness is poor" - pardon? Do we see the same image? You can even read the very small letter on the signs at the building. Sharpness at the farer parts cannot be better due to morning fog. Don't expect sharpness as it is on a midday shot. I have indeed though a lot about the scrub at the right corner. It is no problem to remove it. But finally I deciced to keep it because it is a nice framing and it is a good opposite to the trees at the top left.

- Because the two major points of interest in the image were along the same axis when looking straight down the middle of the church, an off-axis position was required. As such, the composition is a bit unorthodox (ba-dum-tish). Although there is no symmetry in the composition, I think it's still an interesting view.

I have enough information in the HDR file to recover it but white light, when recovered, appears grey anyway (in effect, the same result as when you artificially rescue completely blown highlights). Grey highlights often look worse than white. In those cases, I just try to find a luminosity very close to white that looks reasonable in the scene. Diliff (talk) 07:21, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral. I was going to oppose for too much motion blur. But the more I look at the image the more I appreciate that. If the head and face of the fellow in the middle looking at the camera were sharper and somehow more of the focal point in the image I think it would be a winner (even though he is in 3rd or 4th place. ;-) Nothing immediately draws my eye to him even as he faces me, however. --Kbh3rdtalk 01:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

OpposeIt is a good idea but you can see why the picture in the telegraph works and this doesn't. Everything in the other photo leads you to Bolt's sharp face and his name on his chest is a bonus.

I could counter that I wish more participants evaluated more than the thumbnail. -- Colin (talk) 15:10, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Colin, you know I respect your work here and on Wikipedia a lot. My comment wasn't directed at you – I didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings. At the same time, I personally feel that the people here rank technical details very high and creativity and expression comparably low. The way I experience it, candidates have a better chance succeeding even with somewhat lifeless images (mine included) as long as every part of the image is sharp and no one can find stitching errors. Now, that might be a result of the necessity to shoot in a “documentary style” and therefore unavoidable. However, I feel it is ok to applaud out-of-the-box candidates for their achievements. Again, I didn't mean to offend anyone. It's just that I like this particular photo a lot and I would like to see more of this kind. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:27, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Colin, I agree with Frank. Whether it works or not is subjective. For me it works, not only in preview but also in the full (albeit modest) resolution. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:49, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- I agree to an extent, especially about technical skill/perfection being too highly considered. I'm not sure creativity is the quality we should directly value at FP (one reason I started the Photo Challenge -- to encourage creativity even if one can't achieve FP standard with the result), though being creative should lead to better and more interesting images. Creativity isn't an end in itself. Expression is part of artistic merits of an image along with arrangement, colour, dynamics, etc. It is here I feel the image doesn't succeed, never mind the sharpness (and it might be possible to sharpen one head, if there was one to focus on). Having looked at our collection of featured sports pictures, I've changed my oppose to neutral. It is hard to capture a great sporting image, and we have featured a lot more ordinary and unspectacular images than this. -- Colin (talk) 21:37, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Das Licht ist aus meiner Sicht deutlich wichtiger als eine hohe Auflösung. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Resolution is not main point but light has not necessary and every time to be from back. This is a popular but also wrong proposition. Nothig has hard shadow, everythink is visible well. Rather this light let the hill and castle be more three-dimensional. --Wladyslaw (talk) 14:10, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- More than half of the castle (and of the hill) is in shadow This thesis is obviosly not true. --Wladyslaw (talk) 14:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Surprise, surpise - someone who has a differing opinion from your's is surely wrong - so far, so predictable. To the photo: Nearly the complete right side of the builing is in shadow, some bottom parts of the building are also in shadow - no complex math is necessary to calculate that to more than half of the building. I agree with you that shadows can help to bring out the plasticity of a building and are a widespread stylistic device in architecture photography. But this shadow style only works well for me if the shadow parts are remarkable smaller than the light parts of a building and if the front parts of a building are not in shadow. To take plasticity again and again as argument for a photo at unfortunate light is imho no valid argument.Und noch mal auf Deutsch: Überraschung, Überraschung - jemand hat eine andere Meinung als du und liegt natürlich falsch - so weit so vorhersagbar. Zu dem Foto: Nahezu der komplette rechte Teil des Gebäudes befindet sich im Schatten, einige Teile am Fuße des rechten Gebäudesteils ebenso. Man braucht keine höhere Mathematik um dies zu mehr als die Hälfe zu addieren. Ich stimme dir zu, dass Schatten helfen können, die Plastizität eines Gebäudes hervorzuheben - ein weit verbreitetes Stilmittel in der Architekturfotografie. Für mich funktioniert dieses aber nur sinnvoll, wenn die Schattenteile deutlich kleiner sind als die Gebäudeteile, die im Licht sind. Ebenso ist es nicht schön, wenn die Vorderseiten von Gebäuden im Schatten liegen. Dies ist offensichtlich der Fall hier. Auch wenn du Plastizität immer wieder als Grund dieser Schattenfotos anführst, macht dies keinesfalls ein Foto bei ungünstigem Licht besser.--Tuxyso (talk) 08:18, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Tuxy: Neither the hill nor the castle are more than 50 % in hard shadow. If you don't belive just look at the image. It's always the same old story. Apart from that I have argued why it's a better choice to have this light conditions. (For me you don't need to translate in German.) --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

- Comment It is a very good photo, I think. I agree with you Wladyslaw regarding the lightning, it comes in from the side, giving rise to nice texture and rather pleasant light. I noticed at least one of the areas Lauro has pointed out in the foreground as being optimizable by perhaps adjusting the position of a seam in the stitch away from foreground vegetation. With that fixed I will support. The scaffolding and the cranes in the background to the left are a bit distracting, but unavoidable and not overly distracting IMO.-- Slaunger (talk) 21:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose With regret. There is much to like. The lighting on the left hand side, and over the grassy hill is excellent; on the right is shadow as pointed out but it seems from Googling other photos that this is unavoidable -- you can't have excellent lighting all over a building that curves round. The time of year and weather is good for colour. The resolution is excellent (though I suspect the third car, the black one, has lost its front in stitching error -- this isn't very obvious, though). But the far left of the building is covered in scaffolding. This is where the best light is, and where the leading lines from both left and right take the eye. It isn't noticeable in thumbnail but very distracting full screen. If you are able to return, the viewpoint in this photo looks very good, where the castle is placed in its surrounding scenery. -- Colin (talk) 19:39, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
- For your preferred viewpoint I was to late on this day and it has the disadvantage that the castle will be also covered in scaffolding, now at the right side and much more then in my picture the left side. I has to admit that this view is very nice but it is definitly a completely other picture and a different intention so it isn't really good to compare. "Your" image is more a landscape image with the castle, my pretension was to show first of all the building itself and not so much the surrounding. For architectual studies too much landscape is distracting.
- Black car: I have checked the original files: the car wasn´t disaggregated because of the stitching. The brushwoods are so dense that it is almost coverd. If you look carrefully you'll find the A-pillar of the car gleaming.
- Maybe I have time to visit this castle this autumn and make your preferred view, we'll see :-) --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:04, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support -- Two girls protesting against child slavery in New York, 1 May 1909. Of topical interest now that more than a century later, Kailash Satyarthi, who has campaigned especially against child slavery, shares the Nobel Peace Prize with Malala Yousafzai for their activism against the oppression of children and young people. A featured image on the Hebrew and Turkish Wikipedias, but not refined enough it would seem for the especially exquisite aesthetic sensibilities of the folk at WP:Featured Pictures. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 11:27, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment A great news for my country. But IMHO, pictures like this or this is better to convey the importance of his work. Jee 12:24, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yes indeed, they're both fine images. And of course you can find them in Europe too, the heartbreaking drudgery of children sewing shoes in Portugal for example, which still goes on (from a peak of around 200,000 such children in the early 1990s). But the motivation for my nominating this file was that it was a protest from more than a century ago, and of course the very striking portraits. One can weave tales round such portraits. It's a fine image which deserves to be featured. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

- @Colin: Well done. Nothing escapes you --The Photographer (talk) 02:46, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose It's a good photo, but File:Hohenzollernbrücke Köln.jpg is better. The left part of your nomination adds only black compared to the already featured picture. Both photos are too similiar to be both FP. If you think your photo is better I would try to make a delist and replace nomination. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:10, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think they are identical (different number of spans of the bridge, closer to the cathedral (which is higher resolution), different crop. From what I've read, the location where this photo is taken is the place in which to capture the scene and is often packed with photographers. So we're going to get similar pictures and I'm ok with having more than one featured provided there are some differences. I don't think a delist of a perfectly good FP is healthy -- let's leave that for FPs that really are past their prime and have been greatly superseded by a modern photo. But I agree that this one could benefit from a little crop on the left, and I think I'd support then. -- Colin (talk) 11:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral Highly interesting, but for me several problems: Masts in BG loook weird and so does some annotated vegetation. Maybe noise reduction has been applied too agressively and/or not properly masked. I think the left hand side crop is too tight, and regarding the right hand side the lonely car there should either have had a bit more space or be cropped out - a lot of things are already happening, and it is all a bit confusing. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- No way a D4 needs that much NR at ISO 250. Probably a combination of haze and suboptimal dof at 200mm and f/4.5, really an issue on full format. --DXR (talk) 20:54, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- I think this is heat turbulence, on the masts due to distance (probable several kilometers), on the vegetation due to the locomotive's hot fume. For me the picture is a puzzle with many things to explore include the lonely police car. --Ras67 (talk) 21:03, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

This might seem to be somewhat offset by the underexposure, but that also makes the sky a little too dark and, when we look at it closely, noisy. If you want serious consideration of this as an FP, you're going to have to reshoot by framing it a little bit more closely on the mountain, at least to the point that no branches obstruct it, and then perhaps combining an image with a properly exposed sky with one of the properly exposed mountain.

- Support Looks like you've addressed the issues Hubert raised. I really like this; it's the sort of thing I look for in my own work. You've got the contrast between the harsh landscape in the foreground, with that one stubborn tree, and the more inviting farmland in the rear. Great. Daniel Case (talk) 17:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks! Walking the other direction one hour before, this place was dull and uninteresting. But weather changes quite suddenly in the Yorkshire Dales :-) and the scene presenting itself to me like this on our way back, I only had to wait a few minutes for best lighting. Cloud shadows were moving really fast. Pity I just had the zoom lens with me, no primes, let alone tripod. I surely wasn’t expecting anything like this when we started. --Kreuzschnabel 22:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

- weak Support Nice composition and light. For my personal taste the farer parts (especially the grass in the background) look too much softened to me. Probably your (selective?) NR on the sky has too much effect on the other parts of the image. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:25, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for your review. The softness is due to the fact that the (very good but not excellent) zoom lens was the only one I had with me for this walk. The focus is on the tree, and since the lighting was changing rapidly, there was no time to check overall sharpness as carefully as I had liked to. --Kreuzschnabel 12:45, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Wodehouse sort-of-story (more of a comic rant, really) about it. Not too bad of restoration; the usual dust and damage for century-old photos.

- Question I like to support good-quality images of natural history subjects in the wild and am wondering if I should support this image. I am aware that the goal of FP is to feature "the most valuable pictures from all others". I have two questions: (1) what makes this image more valuable than the other images of Papilio machaon on the Commons (maybe something about the sex or age of the butterfly?); and (2) is this an image from the wild (i.e. not a captive population)? Thankyou. -- Des Callaghan (talk) 08:34, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not a biologist, I do not know by what you can distinguish it. The coordinates tell you that the butterfly comes from the wild. --Böhringer (talk) 10:19, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Good question. We have not a good dorsal view of this butterfly so far. The side view recently promoted is very poor in my opinion (only hind wing in focus, head out of focus, busy background. F5 at 43mm). Here it is excellently executed, and this "strange AOV" encourages me to Support. Jee 11:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC) I found a good dorsal and side view; added to Papilio machaon. Jee 11:43, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thankyou. Compared to the existing alternative you mention Jee, I'm not sure which I prefer. In some respects the other image is superior, for example with regards to the detail of the under-wing where the individual wing scales can be seen. I think I will remain

While showing just above 2 Mpix of size keeps a candidate from being immediately FPX’ed, it has to be something very special then from my point of view to support.

- Support -- The frontispiece from Emmy E. Werner's Through the Eyes of Innocents scanned by me from the book. If anyone can get hold of a digital scan of the original from NARA (College Park, Maryland), that would be great.Andy McCain (talk) 11:43, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- Deeply moving. Emmy Werner worked her way through the archives at College Park, Maryland to find images to illustrate her book recounting (in their own words) the experiences of children in World War II, finding amongst other things the original US Signals photo of 7 year old Tomiko Higa surrendering at the Battle of Okinawa. She said she burst into tears when she found it and likewise I shed a tear when I look at it. RobvanderWaal (talk) 12:09, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose In the first place, I don't get what this image wants to tell me, it lacks a clear message. Most landscape images bear the simple message "Look what a nice place this is", here I don’t see much of it. A nice peaceful moment to remember, for sure, but for these only who attended it. Then, there are several issues to address, see notes. Considerable colour noise in the sky to the right. --Kreuzschnabel 12:45, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment An image shows a message based on your experience and memories, sometimes even those memories can be embodied experiences of others in books, movies or music. So the wow factor, or what a picture shows for you, depends on the culture. The wow factor is important and I think that this has, however, would be a little more interesting to open your mind to other cultures, particularly in developing countries. Our section also needs more non-Western images as Asian and Arab countries. My idea with this post is not to refute your comment, but a call to refection, this is of great value to me, it is the first place where I learned to fish with my father. Nice review, I will try fix the problems --The Photographer (talk) 13:36, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry Wilfredo, that’s ridiculous. If your image fails to convey the intended message, you cannot blame the respective recipient for that. (And I personally do think I positively tend to open my mind to other cultures, by the way.) --Kreuzschnabel 12:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not blaming the recipient, every opinion is valid especially because it is subjective. However, most of the photographers in commons are Western, by consequent, the recipient will be similar and not for that situation they are reviewing right or wrong, they simply have a similar recipient. It is a subjective issue and my concern is that here in (FPC, QI, VI and commons) there is only few people of Asian or Arab culuras, without going too far, there are no women. I have taken this issue to another point, we could go somewhere else, if you like you. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info created by Colin - uploaded by Colin - nominated by Colin. A backlit laptop computer keyboard. Most fingers are on the "home" keys for touch-typing; the 'U' key is being pressed.

- Comment The right hand has motion blur, I believe it should be resampled. The model has the phalanges of the toes short, would be nicer if they were long (is more harmonic). The composition of the keyboard looks tighrt, borderless, I believe that a larger space would benefit the photo. I make these comments because it seems easy to retake the photo that has good use (IMO). -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 14:06, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review. You are right there is a slight movement in the right hand because the exposure was long (30s). The only light is from the backlight, which is dim and I wanted enough DoF to get the fingers reasonably in focus. I took quite a number of attempts but none absolutely perfect when viewed 100%. I wanted a tight crop on the hands and essential keys, but there are other valid crops for sure. As for the model, well he's me and that's what my fingers look like when typing when viewed directly from above. Viewed from normal sitting position, the ends of my fingers aren't really visible at all, and when I reach to press 'U' the other fingers in my hand curve back. My wife has small slender hands, and while it may be nice to spend an hour in the dark with some young model with long elegant fingers, I'm not going to get approval for that :-). I took this last December for the photo challenge. It took me a while to clean the keyboard and a while after with the spot removal tool in Lightroom to get rid of the worst of what was still there. Plus colour and tone adjustments. In short, it wouldn't just take 5min to repeat and I'd have no guarantee of improvement. -- Colin (talk) 20:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support The pictures shows the Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is with 12.9 km the longest bridge in the world over ice-covered waters (Northumberland Strait). The high-strength concrete ice cones at the bottom of edge bridge pier is designed to bend ice floes, causing them to crack and break up. -- Wladyslaw (talk) 04:39, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Why not show it would have been more interesting, to me, a picture from the side to reveal the entire bridge and not just the bottom. Additionally a strong constrast (which causes noise in the shadows hidden among rocks and concrete) is observed. I am sorry, I hope to see a new picture from a better angle --The Photographer (talk) 20:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

- Comment - I like this image, but it can be improved. Why so dull/dark? The histogram shows no brightness and can be adjusted without losing too much of the softness in the image. Cropping the sky to 1/3 the image might help. I tried those adjustments on a local copy and boosted the saturation slightly, too, and I liked the result even better. though you might like it as it is. I disagree with ArionEstar – I like the flats and boats, too. A small crop of the foreground might help, however. It definitely needs a fuller description, and geo-location would be nice to see. --Kbh3rdtalk 19:45, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry Kbh3rd if I expressed myself badly. When I said "wow", I meant that when I look at the picture, first I get impressed with the dune. This region here where I live, although in Brazil, the country where the photo was taken, does not have these dunes, which leaves me impressed. I think the sky, during the sunset, also impresses me. The flats and boats are nice, but that comes later. ArionEstar (talk) 23:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose I've looked for several times at this photo. It's technically without flaws but I do not really like the light and composition. The light is quite harsh, you have relatively strong shadows probably due to midday sun. To the composition: We have surely some eye-catchig elements: the house at the front right (too tightly cropped) and the rocks in the background with their top lines going through the top part of the image. But I am missing something similiar at the left foreground part of the image - there are no clear lines, nothing the eye can resist on. Surely you can see some interesting details in full res but the canyon does not come out well there. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:48, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info Macro portrait of a tiny Comensal Shrimp, just a few cm long. This is a subespecies called Sarasvati Comensal Shrimp (Periclimenes sarasvati). I like this image particularly, due to two reasons: the great contrast of colours and textures between the beige, soft anemone tentacles and the purple shrimp... and the good depth of field, that allows great detail, particularly through the shrimp's translucent body. Also, it is an uncommon species of shrimp, but I am not sure whether or not documental value is a factor taken into account for FPCs. All by me Arturo de Frias Marques

- Support. For me, the wow is in the amazing stucco relief details. Actually, this is part of a series of images taken in this church (others are visible from the image page). The other images also offer interesting views that cannot easily be captured in a single image. However, I think this image is the most representative view of the church and is therefore the one I nominated. Another thing to note is that this is the most time consuming panorama I've ever taken. It was extremely crowded inside and it took about 45 minutes of waiting for the church to become empty enough to complete the panorama. It looks so peaceful and serene in this image, but the truth is, it was more like this. ;-) Diliff (talk) 23:59, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

- Well, it's an HDR image so it is impossible to say that nothing has been done to the contrast because by definition, contrast adjustment is something that is intrinsic to HDR processing. However, I don't think it looks abnormal. I guess you could say that the micro contrast is higher than the original images, but the actual contrast is lower (hence it is possible to turn a high dynamic range into a lower dynamic range JPG).

- Ahh, well spotted. My first thought was that it must be an illusion but you're right, they are bending slightly. As I've taken so many photos in Lithuania, I assumed it was pure rectilinear (as virtually all my interiors are). However, I do sometimes apply a small amount of vertical (and/or horizontal) compression, which seeks to minimise the rectilinear distortion at the edges of the frame. This has the side effect of the perspective lines bending slightly as the compression is progressively applied. I'm happy to update the image description to explain this slight curve of the lines.

From experience, I know I can't go any wider because the distortion becomes too prevalent (the horizontal FOV is about 110 degrees). If I moved further back, I could have captured the entirety of the cross, but then the balcony bannisters would obscure the ground level of the church. Diliff (talk) 12:01, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

- What's the subject of this image?
- The 2 left lines leads our eyes to the lighthouse.
- In the right we have a strange metal bring more distraction. And lines going to nowhere creating more distraction, and leading our eyes again away from the main subject.
- Why this huge empty space at the left? And a lot of no important things at the bottom, even the reflection is not great, water is moving, not clear reflection...
- Is not sharp, as Wladyslaw said, not even the bridge is sharp, let alone the buildings...
- We have a lost of information in the main building, so overexposure that we have a pure white in practically 25% of the edification...
- For me a crop could be better as this: File:2014-09-29 - Reichsbrücke-DC-SunkenCity-Editar.jpg.
- And if you had wait a little more to took this picture you would had this light: File:DC Tower 1 September 2013.png or better.

- Hi, Hubertl, I'm not here to offend you, or throw your work away.
- I'm just attacking the technical points to improve your photos, not saying anything about the historical importance of that.
- If the lighthouse is important put it in focus, if the tower is the main thing, toward the lines to the build, move around to find this lines, to eliminate distractions. If the grass is important, lay down, put it in the first layer, and the skyline in the background (something like: File:Field of sunflowers (4883070812).jpg, this is not a great pic, but the idea is there).
- You can try a long exposure with a 1.8 (or more) ND filter, to have a more soft water, and not overexposure spots, or try in a more cloudy day or in the gold hour.
- See the cropped image, and the other image that a linked, if you lives close, or there, you could go there, do a better shot, and bring us again.
- This is just tips to sole problems that I bring, but it's up to you. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 23:21, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- I really appreciate your efforts and your useful advices, but dont worry about me, this time it was a panorama picture, the next time it will be just another motive. If I'd want to do a image as you cropped it, I would have done it. But I wanted to do something different. As Taxiarchos wrote, the Uno-City has a wide range of motives and I live very close. Next time it might be winter, no flicker of the air, all razor sharp. Do not take this selection too seriously, it is not a competition. The results are now this way and another time for sure completely different. If I'd want to do, how you cropped it as a completely new picture, I would have done it by myself. But I just wanted to do something slightly different. I hope, you can accept it. --Hubertl (talk) 00:09, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

- @Slaunger: First thing,thanks for review.The idea of the composition is ... take a picture of a church, I don't know what else I should invent.All the Catholic churches prior to 1963 have the altar inside and out, as decided by the Second Vatican Council. Then comparison with the other requested as long as you have found, this is the church of the Spaniards in Italy, where he is buried alfonso XIII and Pope Alexander VI.You should not make the picture comparison between the churches in my opinion, everyone has their own characteristics.Regards. --LivioAndronico talk 21:21, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- I think you misunderstand regarding the alter. It is as if you are undecided if you want the whole alter in the image or not in the image. It is as if you have not made a conscious decision where the picture shall begin and where it shall end. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:27, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

- I mean the darkest parts of the both wings are just over the dark area of the background (half top of the image), and that don't help for to highlight the butterfly, that's even increase the contrast between the half bottom and the half top, it's the first thing I think when I look at the image : dark half top + clear half bottom = a bit unbalenced (IMO). In macro the backgrounds are very important for compositions, and it's very hard but necessary to think at what will be the background in the final result. This image is nice and well done IMO, but here we agree that we speak about outstanding images. I hope to have been a little more precise. :)-- Christian Ferrer Talk / Images 14:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

- As you can read in the image description I photographed this butterfly inside a butterfly house namely Vlindertuin Vlindorado near Waarland in North Holland. This one was just sitting on the branch I carefully placed my tripod near the butterfly and took this shot. A few moments later the butterfly flew away thus it was able to fly well and was not massively injured. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:11, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Julian and Tuxyso about the light, it was a very dull day, actually we were really lucky that it only rained for one hour. I nominated this one because I think it's sharp enough and because of that bit of blue sky. Most pictures of that day have grey background.

- Thank you for your suggestions, I´am really thankfully about it! The f/1.4 50mm may have been the better choice, not the 70-200.

This shall not be an excuse, it just was a unique opportunity for me. I had no chance to make a 2nd row. Not with this pano-head. --Hubertl (talk) 13:43, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
- No problem. I took a very similar panorama in Riga last month using two rows and a 50mm lens, so I'm familiar with panoramas such as this. You shouldn't need to use a panoramic head in this instance though, because parallax errors would be minimal as the buildings are very far away. In fact, I took my panorama hand-held. Not only that, because the bell tower in the church is hexagonal (or maybe octagonal, I forget), I took different photos from different locations inside the bell tower. As the camera direction rotated around 360 degrees, I actually moved my location inside the tower to suit this (mostly so that when looking down, I would not see the edge of the tower in the frame). I would guess that the camera location rotated around a 3-4 metre diameter, and still there are no significant parallax errors. So I think it would have been better to shoot this image hand-held, and then you could more easily shoot a second row. Diliff (talk) 14:36, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

weak Oppose – not a bad panorama but a) per Diliff and b) there’s many, many small stitching errors. In nearly each horizontal line on the buildings I was looking at there were some.

- Support Unlike Wilfredor, I wasn't disappointed by the quality at full size -- one can't expect razor sharpness at those kinds of distances. Downsized 75% to 14MP it is sharp. I think at Commons we can see educational value in daylight lighting. While commercial landscape photographers know that sunrise/sunset are special times for postcards and coffee table books, there is merit in seeing such a landscape as it is, rather than tinted by an orange sky or covered in snow. One niggle is that I don't think you've quite succeed in getting enough near foreground for that to work well (it just looks arbitrarily cropped). Consider a 3:1 ratio aspect of the top portion to concentrate on just the view rather than what is near one's feet. That crop has the benefit of the horizon aligning with the rule-of-thirds, for what that is worth. -- Colin (talk) 10:43, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the support, Colin. The purpose of the near crop is to show the way up to the peak through the gravel and that the pic is not taken from a plane. It is just enough not to distract from the view, thats at least my opinion. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 12:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff -- Diliff. As you can probably tell from this image, this chapel is very small (I was as far back as was physically possible, any further back and I would have fallen out the window!) and it was a challenge to capture it, both because of the cramped conditions and the fact that it is rare to find the altar empty. I had to visit a few times and sit through a 45 minute mass with the tripod set up, not understanding a word of Lithuanian and feeling a bit self conscious trying to take the 75 images necessary for the panorama while appearing to be there for the mass....... ;-) Not sure if I pulled that off, but I managed to avoid anyone being in the image somehow (a big challenge in itself) except the priest (I did get a version without the priest and another with the altar full of worshippers as was it like most of the time) but actually I think he adds a bit of dynamism to the scene) so I was happy with the image. Oh, and it isn't possible to get a completely geometically symmetrical, straight view. The altar itself seems to be slightly wonky and correcting one line upsets another.

- Info Himmelsrasta (a compound word, himmel:heaven and rast:break) is a mountain home in Ljungdalen (Jämtland County, Sweden) built by swedish artist Paul Jonze in the 1940s consisting of two houses and a tradtionell Sami goahti (in the foregrund here). As a young artist Jonze worked with many leading architects and was 1909 commissioned to make an inventory of items of rural culture by the Association for Jämtlands Handicrafts (and he found the Överhogdal tapestries). He spent his last twenty years in Himmelsrasta and today he is best known for his mountain landscape paintings. The property is unique because it is located high up in the mountains, well above the tree line and with no roads and only reachable by foot in the summer or by cross country skiing or snowmobile in the winter. I chose, of course, skiing (as an eco-friendly photographer).

- Comment Very nice colours, great subject, good composition. Like a painting. But unfortunately also like a painting there is no sharpness. I don't know what went wrong (focus too close? camera shake at 1/25s?) I'd accept that at 36MP 100% but this has been downsampled to
66%(actually 85% plus cropping) and the lighting conditions are ideal. -- Colin (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2014 (UTC)- Comment Thanks for your comment. if you like I give you some technical detail: I used a tripod, self timer set at 5 seconds delay and shutter release after 2 seconds of mirror up, the focus point is on the rocks, the picture control of the camera is set at neutral. I did not any sharpening. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 15:11, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- Moroder, when you said "focus point is on the rocks" did you mean the distant mountains? I find that hard to believe as they are more blurred than the near grass. But if so, then that is surely wasting the DoF for f/13, which would allow you to focus on the trees (or nearer) and have everything pretty sharp. All digital images are sharpened, it is just a question of whether you add more than the software does by default. Also, all digital images have noise reduction and perhaps in this picture that is set too strong and has robbed detail. If you have the raw file, I would be happy to experiment with Lightroom to see what can be achieved -- I wouldn't publish the result, just email you for you to compare. -- Colin (talk) 19:28, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment The point of focus? Where is it? It's not on the rocks, not "on the trees (or nearer)" where it should be and not on "the near grass" which is blurred. It is on the Moon! What is wrong with you man? Pixelnerd? nitpicker? Are you trying to say that all reviewers supporting this picture in less than 24 hours are jerks. Has there been a support epidemic on FP? Are you sure your monitor works properly? When did you have your last eyecheck (pardon me). This picture has been taken imo under the best conditions. At the distance of the trees and with this lens it does not make a difference where the focal point is and you cannot even make up your mind what is wrong with this picture, if there is something wrong. If you suffer from envy I feel bad for you (I am joking) and it is dismal for you and for all of us. How may I send you a 76 MB file? Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 16:28, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

- Since the NEF raw file has been licensed CC BY-SA, I am able to create and publish a derivative work (normally I would not publish a derived work if someone sends me a raw file). I have uploaded it to File:Mont de Seuc y l Saslong Edit.jpg. I have tried to reproduce the same tone and framing. The image is cropped from the original raw and reduced to 85% size to result in the same 15MP JPG. I applied Lightroom's profile for the lens but have left the rotation/perspective as per the original raw file -- the camera would be level on the tripod and the trees look upright. The image has some global sharpening applied, together with selective sharpening and noise-reduction as appropriate. I think the edit is a technical improvement on the nomination, which is a fine picture. But this is Wolfgang Moroder's nomination so up to him if he wants to nominate an alternative. Thanks to Wilfredor for help with the raw file. Kreuzschnabel I hope this is sharper for you and the perspective ok (I can only assume the small hut on the far left is leaning in reality -- there is no way to straighten it without making the trees slope). -- Colin (talk) 22:04, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- I prefer Moroder nomination, especially as the mountains look not all about sharpness and technique. Well, its only MHO, I dont know if is posible reduce dramatic filter --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 22:15, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- Wilfredor, I don't understand your comment, perhaps you could rephrase what you prefer about the original. If you mean the shape of the mountains, both of Wolfgang Moroder's versions of the nominated picture have significant distortions applied in software. I think Wolfgang may have been trying to straighten the hut on the left, by applying some rotation/vertical-perspective/barrel adjustments, but the result is the trees get sloped and the mountains were considerably streched (adding to the sharpness issues). I've left the scene as it was captured by the camera on the tripod - there's absolutely no reason to think the camera wasn't level. -- Colin (talk) 10:46, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Again this doesn't make sense, the perspective correction was minimal and there is no reason to believe that the mountains were "considerably streched".--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 21:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- I beg to differ. I can see two JPGs where the mountains move and the trees lean over as I switch between them. But I guess I need new glasses and a better monitor. -- 21:46, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Due to lack of opposing votes the image has been quick-featured by the bot. Can we override this to put up the alternative? I’d support that immediately. --Kreuzschnabel 11:38, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Colin, that’s excellently reworked! Your result looks perfectly sharp in comparison without looking overprocessed at all. You did a very fine job on that. Despite the huge support on the first nomination, I strongly suggest Wolfgang Moroder to put it up as an alternative to avoid an oncoming delist-and-replace procedure. --Kreuzschnabel 03:00, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info The Tower Bridge is a bascule and suspension bridge located in the center of London that crosses the River Thames. Its name is taken from the Tower of London, located nearby and has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge was built between 1886 and 1894 and has a length of 244 m (800 feet) and the height of the towers is 65 m (213 feet). The 61 m (200 feet) long central span is split into two equal bascules than can be raised 86 degrees to allow the transit of ships. Otherwise the bridge is open to the traffic and to the pedestrians.

- Question Is there a reason why you've chosen such a wide sky crop and such a tight bottom crop? It looks a bit imbalanced as it currently is. Probably a lower viewpoint had framed the skyscraper in the background perfectly inside the tower-bridge. Everything else is nice: Quality, red ship crossing the bridge, sky formation, light, colors. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Tuxyso: I actually aimed to give to the nice sky a more relevant role in the composition, than just a background (I was lucky lots of clouds in that direction but still sunlight). If I remember well I looked for a lower shot (I was on a pier and could just bend down), but the result was worse (more irritating) since the Leadenhall building was just "scratching" the lower border ot the top platforms of the bridge.

- Oppose I disagree with King of Hearts about the light. People go there to sunbathe so a picture in full sun with colourful water is appropriate to the subject. I don't find the scrub land surrounding the beach particularly attractive. The tree in the bottom of the picture obscures some of the beach.

- Comment To get more of them into focus, I would have had to stop down beyond f/8, which certainly would have impaired the sharpness due to diffraction – or take an entire series for focus stacking. This is almost a close-up shot, taken from a very short distance, which comes usually with a shallow DoF. --Kreuzschnabel 19:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support Very nice specimen in good light in its natural environment. Sharpness is fine given the resolution. I do think the aperture could have been stopped down to e.g. f/11 to achieve a better overall compromise between DOF and diffraction blur, but for me DOF is sufficient. It adds a little of bokeh to it and helps the main subject stand out better from the background. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support I think that about 4 flowers are in focus, but I guess that's a question of how narrow the definition of "in focus" is. At least the triangle in the center is sharp for me. The atmosphere is good, with the warm light. The picture you linked is almost oversharpened to me. I guess they both have their positive qualities. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 07:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

- Hmmm.. I am afraid the fix is not very good, there is also some red fringing more to the right. How did you try to address it? The best method is to compensate for CA directly in a raw converter such as LightRoom or Digital Photo Professional - the native Canon raw converter. I have some terrible lenses when it comes to CA, but after correcting for it in the raw converter it turns out surprisingly well. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:43, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:24, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support The simplicity is greatness, this photograph conveys many things inside me, I was a person raised to 100 meters from the sea, the sea has been my mother, my brother and there all my family memories conglomerate, from my childhood to the present . Everyone will have their own story, you need to look beyond the obvious. --The Photographer (talk) 01:04, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Not working for me I'm afraid. Portrait aspect isn't helping. Not minimal enough perhaps. The focus seems to be on the breaking wave yet the shutter isn't fast enough to capture it crisp. The foam and especially the sand is blurry but not blurry enough to be smooth. The middle of the sea isn't interesting at all. I don't know. Perhaps either very simple calm sea or turbulent sea. -- Colin (talk) 15:40, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Colin. Not meant in a mean spirit, but imho "minimalism" is sometimes a bit easy to say when an image has little wow. --DXR (talk) 15:43, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Colin. Daniel Case (talk) 21:09, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment What I feel about the composition: A good idea for a minimalist composition, but the main motive seems to be within the strip of foam and the delicate veil of splashing (the timing was very good), these two elements are horizontal and the photo is vertical, the high angle (for those elements) does not help because it leads my gaze to the horizon leaving these elements in the second plan. In summary a horizontal composition and a very lower angle would be better IMO. -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 14:07, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

The map shows the northern states of the United States of America in 1832. At that time the rivers of the Mississippi and the Missouri formed the border between the east settled area of the Americans and the western area of the Indians. The areas of the different Indian tribes and the villages and towns of Americans are inscribed on the map. An orange line indicates the northern boundary of America.

- The sky, I can appreciate your opinion... I did push the contrast on the sky as bright overcast clouds tend to lose their definition in photography (as Kreuzschnabel mentioned) but I disagree that the grass is too green. I didn't adjust the saturation. Scotland is just very green in summer. :-) Diliff (talk) 21:36, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- Not that it really matters to the nomination at this stage, but to show that the grass saturation has not been adjusted, here's one of the original files in Lightroom, with Lightroom settings visible to show that the saturation set to 0. I think the grass looks basically identical to the image on Commons. The main difference is, of course, the sky. Diliff (talk) 10:51, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
- Diliff, thank you for your comments and images. I hope you did not interpret my comment as a general criticism of you images or general criticism of photo editing and of course I trust you when you say that the grass saturation has not been adjusted (you do not need to prove it). The combination (with my knowledge of Scotland, the light in these latitudes, habitat type) of the cloudy sky and the bright colors on the ground seemed somewhat unrealistic. Of course I can be wrong but i dont think it matter regarding my vote because I dont think the picture is especially beautiful with these colors (and therefore no WOW). I think I had supported your attached image (and I do not think the grass looks identical). Anyway, I voted neutral and you seem to get enough support.--ArildV (talk) 15:29, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- No problem, no offence was taken. It wasn't necessarily to prove that I was right or anything like that. I think it's just important to be objective and not just make claims but demonstrate them, if possible. Even if you did believe me when I said the saturation hadn't been adjusted, it's still educational (I think) to see how the original image compares to the HDR image. We all know that HDR processing can be realistic and it can be unrealistic. If we can see the original file, we have a baseline for what is realistic, instead of having to guess at what we feel something 'should' look like. Even if it doesn't change someone's mind (and it appears that it didn't in this case), it's still educational. Diliff (talk) 11:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral Timing and motion control are very fine. On the other hand, the subject covers barely 30 percent of the image area, the rest is empty space, which does not add quality to the composition IMHO. A closer crop (suggestion added) would emphasize the mood considerably but would also reduce the image size below the 2 Mpix minimum, and sharpness would be below threshold. – Besides, I’m not satisfied with the white balance, the image looks blueish to me. --Kreuzschnabel 07:45, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

- I've a (language) difficulty to follow you. But I checked your previous FPs, including one I supported. It seems you are using wide angle for more DOF and then removing/blurring the background.

- Sorry, I'm not following u, please, could you explain what you mean with honestly I don't know how useful such edits in Wikimedia projects --The Photographer (talk) 08:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- My understanding is that Wikimedia projects prefer an "accurate" representation of the subject. That's why Commons:Image guidelines and en:Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria only encourages a very "limited" editing. The problem of selective blurring is that we lose many "accurate" information about the shape, colour, furs, etc. on the edges of a subject. I don't know how vital it is; that's why I said honestly I don't know. But FP should be the "best representation of the subject" in every aspects; so I personally don't support such edits. (I'm not talking about removing a distracting background element away from the subject.) Jee 08:56, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
