  • Nomination Chapelle Sainte-Ursule de la Sorbonne, Paris, France --XRay 03:27, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion Ok, but remove the magenta line under the cross (yes, it's only a tiny part).. --Cccefalon 05:39, 20 August 2014 (UTC) --Cccefalon 05:39, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Nomination Love padlocks at the Pont des Arts, Paris, France --XRay 03:30, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion {{o}} Sorry, composition: The pink padlock cropped at bottom is too prominent. Too tight at bottom--Lmbuga 12:08, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
    ✓ Fixed Crop improved. Thanks for the advice.--XRay 17:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment The subject is very sharp if it's only one padlock, perhaps QI, but I don't like the crop: Too much space at right (not focused area) and top. See note about possible crop. Sorry If I cause you discomfort. I would avoid the object that shows (or looming on) in the lower left corner--Lmbuga 17:35, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment Not important IMO: I'm not sure, but it might be better that the vertical lines of the padlock were straights.--Lmbuga 17:46, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Nomination Tick removal forceps --Kreuzschnabel 15:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Oppose Only the foreground of the object is in focus; more than 50% of the foreceps are beyond DoF. That's not sufficient for a studio shot of a single object, sorry. --Cccefalon 04:15, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
    •  CommentThis has been done by purpose to put some depth into the image and focus on the important part. May I ask for some more opinions? --Kreuzschnabel 05:17, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  SupportFor me the picture is fine like this. I mean the WB is perfect, the first part of the forceps is top sharp, I did not find any dust spot. So technically speaking, it's a QI. The only discussion here is about the artistic/encyclopedic point of view : is it a good idea or not to put the back part of the forceps out of focus ? I think that the defocus is not a problem for comprehension and focus the attention on the most important part. I think that this should be promoted as QI--Gormé 20:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I'm sorry,but I prefer all the object be in focus. --Livioandronico2013 11:23, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

The mean spider's body is less than 2 millimiters large. --Fulvio314 15:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose @Fulvio314, you are correct about narrow DOF, but, there are so few pixels in this image that are in focus, it is hard to see what it is, or what we're supposed to be looking at. The colors are harsh, the histogram looks like the image has been overprocessed, and still has washed out highlights with no detail in the yellow/white areas. --Generic1139 21:12, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
@Generic1139, the process was intended improving the poor colors came from home-made slide repro. Do you think a better reproduction would give a better digital result or, the original itself is affected by problems and it is better to give up? Thanks. --Fulvio314 06:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
It might help the color problem, but I don't think it will fix the DOF problem. See what others say before you give up on it. --Generic1139 07:37, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

  •  Comment I suggest to crop out the upper part of the sky, because it has signs of poor cloning. And please improve left crop as was suggested by Diego. This current version is not QI for me. --Iifar 18:16, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Not every inhomogenity is a cloning error. Natural structures (also sky) are not always clinic and monochromatic, so keep calm, Iifar & Mattbuck. Croping out a hardly seeable half-body does not improve a picturte of this big size significant. Nevertheless I have uploaded a new version. But well known nitpicking come always from the same audiance we already know very well. --Taxiarchos228 18:36, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 OpposeI don't doubt that, but it was a remarkably dark patch. Also your attempt to fix it leaves something to be desired - the sky is mostly grainy, as one would expect and is fine, except right at the top where suddenly blur-brushstrokes are easily visible. Mattbuck 20:56, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 Comment Perhaps you guys should remember, that we have the Image guidelines. The guidelines clearly adress Unnecessary or inappropriate use of artistic filters and effects. and of such an effect we are talking about. While digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in a photographic image is generally acceptable, the said glare reflection is a deceiving element and should be handled similar as lense flares. As I already mentioned earlier today, if we want to press the "Like" button, we better go to Facebook. There are a lot of images here, where I happily can say "I like it" but which I have to decline with tears in my eyes because of photographic flaws or breaking the QIC rules. --Cccefalon 19:02, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

    Bit blurry bottom left corner, and it looks like the left side is leaning in. Mattbuck 17:40, 25 July 2014 (UTC) Comment The reddish walls of the Dolomites do lean in (in German it's called Überhang) --Moroder 22:13, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
    Yes, but it seems unlikely that they built a house at an angle to the vertical. Mattbuck 10:27, 2 August 2014 (UTC) Question Please kindly let me know where in these houses the lines are not vertical
    I disagree, irrelevant issue for declining --Moroder 07:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion
     Comment Mattbuck is right, the verticals on the house/ski lodge(I used the windows to the right) need to be adjusted nearly 3 degrees CCW to be vertical. This, to be sure, is pixel peeping at its finest, but it does show that the rest of the image is also tilted, although this is less apparent to the eye. If you do make that adjustment, the base of the clouds over the house become level as well (not sure how much that matters compositionally, some, I think). The Überhang is emphasized. You will lose the closest white rocks on the left, but they aren't in focus anyway. The focus is somewhat soft, unfortunate in a stitched, sweeping panorama. It is sharp enough to see the windows in the ski lodge, though. I'm on the fence. --Generic1139 21:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment Could you please put a note on the wrong verticals - thanks--Moroder 10:11, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support The buildings are microscopic tiny, and it is disputable whether they lean in or out or not. Some seem to do so, some not. This is possibly caused by athmospheric turbulence due to the wide distance and is not a reason to decline. @Moroder: Scale down to about 6 MPix or even 2 MPix, which is minimum standard here, and nobody would even discover the buildings ;-) -- Smial 12:44, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
      • Yesss. To beat the pixelpeeper, keep your pixels deeper--Moroder 05:26, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I'm not going to argue about something 2km away that subtends 191 pixels in a 12478 wide image. I will say that the image is too soft, and with that camera/lens everything from 4m to infinity could have been in focus. The nearest white rock would not have been, but the rest could have. The back range of mountains has nice light and the central green peak (with its disputed building) is also nice. I won't oppose. --Generic1139 15:22, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

  •  Comment I think those are sharpening artefacts, especially good to see all over the face and on the background. As for sharpness, maybe focusing wasn't good enugh, or camera wasn't steady at the shooting moment. This image is not QI for me, sorry. --Iifar 06:18, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for taking your time to explain, Iifar. I cannot see the artifacts, but that is probably because my eyes are not sufficiently trained. The only modifications done are simple ones in the raw converter, like correcting for CA, color blur, and highlightning of the partial shadow from his hat in the face. --Slaunger 16:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

  •  Support Looks overprocessed but not too bad considering the large pixelage --Kreuzschnabel 10:47, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Support Yes, it is oversharpened, but some of the face issues are also pancake makeup over beard stubble. I would have preferred to see it a bit less sharpened, but close enough. --Generic1139 21:52, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose  Neutral As for Iifar: Slight motion blur oversharpened gives some double contours which are unpleasant. Some downscaling and lesser sharpening should address the problem. -- Smial 13:22, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
    •  Comment Smial Regarding your proposal to downsample, I object in principle to this, as information is lost in the process. If you do a large scale print it is always best not to downsample, although the per-pixel quality may not be as good as if the photo had been downsampled. When revieweing a photo it is the responsibility of the reviewer to not only consider the per-pixel quality, but also the resolution of the image, for instance by choosing a review size of about 4 Mpixels or something which matches approximately full screen resolution on a monitor. That said, I am pragmatic and I do downsample a little at times (I usually never downsample more, that to half the original number of pixels), especially in stitched panoramas, when I feel that the information loss by downsampling is so small that it is counteracted by the convenience in viewing and downloading a file with smaller resolution or when parts of a stitched photo has poor pixel quality because it has been stretched in a projection, or originates from a corner in a single frame where lens effects gives reduced quality. However, in this case I do not feel that downsampling is warranted at all, as it would compromise, e.g., the fine details in the texture of the textiles visible, and bear stubbles in the face as well as single strands of red hair. --Slaunger 10:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I agree with your thoughts on principle. I did not ask to halve the image size, but wanted to suggest to seek a compromise to save the really very beautiful snapshot. -- Smial 10:37, 17 August 2014 (UTC) Btw: The reworked version is much better, but I'm not absolutely convinced. So I change my vote to neutral.
Smial Thanks for reconsidering your review and for sharing your thoughts on downsampling. We are closer aligned than I originally thought. --Slaunger 10:59, 17 August 2014 (UTC)--Slaunger 10:59, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
