推薦者のためのガイドライン

[edit]

まずはじめに、『秀逸な画像ガイドライン』、『画像のガイドライン』をお読みください。

ここでは推薦画像の評価を受ける・する際の必要事項を要約して紹介します。

  • 解像度 - 200万ピクセル以下の写真画像は、特別な理由が無い限り却下されます。1,600 x 1,200 ピクセル(1.92メガピクセル)は200万ピクセルには届いていない事にご注意ください。
コモンズに置かれた画像は一般的なPCモニターのみで閲覧されるとは限らず、プリントアウトや高解像度モニターで表示される可能性もあります。将来的にもどのような機器が用いられるようになるかは誰にも予想出来ないので、推薦画像が可能な限り高い解像度を保っている事は重要な事なのです。
  • スキャン画像 - 公式な方針ではありませんが、Help:スキャニングページで各種様々な画像を準備するための有用なアドバイスが提供されています。
  • フォーカス - 通常、重要な被写体は全て焦点が合っていなければいけません。
  • 前景と背景 - 前景や背景に主題ではない物が写り込むと、それは“余計なもの”になり得ます。前景にある物が主題の重要な部分を隠していないか、背景にあるものが構図を損ねていないか(例:後ろの街灯が人物の頭の上から生えているように見える、等)を確認しましょう。
  • 全体品質 - 推薦される画像には高い技術品質が要求されます。
  • デジタル補正 - 見る人を欺いてはいけません。写真画像のキズ・ホコリ等を修正する、良い編集、故意に人を騙す目的でない限り、デジタル補正は一般的に歓迎されます。例を挙げると、色合い/露出補正、シャープ/ボカシ、遠近感歪み補正、トリミング(切り取り)等がこれにあたります。背景に写り込んだ余計な物を取り除く等のさらに大がかりな修正は、{{Retouched picture}}テンプレートを画像ページへ貼付け、修正した旨を記述しましょう。記述漏れや記述ミスがある等、主題を不正確に見せる編集は決して受け入れられません。
  • 価値 - 『全ての画像の中でも特に際立ち、最も価値のある画像』が我々の大きな目標です。秀逸な画像はそれぞれの分野の中でも別格でなけらばならず、故に次の点に留意して下さい。
    • たいていの夕日は美しく見えますが、そういう画像のほとんどは他の夕日画像と大差ありません。
    • 夜景は美しいですが、普通は日中に撮影された写真の方がより詳細を見せてくれます。
    • 必ずしも『美しさに価値がある』わけではありません。

技術的側面では露出『構図』『動感表現』被写界深度等を見ます。

  • 露出とはシャッタースピードと絞りとの組み合わせの事を言い、適切なトーンカーブが見せる陰影〜ハイライトが有用なディティールを描写します。これをラティチュード(露光寛容度)と言い、このラティチュードの陰影〜ハイライトの領域内において、画像を暗め、中庸、明るめに作る事が出来ますが、デジタルカメラ及びデジタル画像はこのラティチュードの範囲がフィルムに比べて狭いです。ディティールの欠損した影部分は必ずしも「悪い」わけではなく、実際にその様な効果が望ましい場合(部分)もあります。ただしディティールの欠損したハイライト部分が大きく面積を占めるのは良くありません。
  • 構図とは画像画面内での各要素の配置の事を言います。“三分割法”は構図作成には良い方法で、美術学校でも教えられています。まず、画像に水平線と垂直線をそれぞれ2本引き、画像を水平・垂直方向とも3分割します。主題を中央に配置するとたいていは画面に面白味を欠き、水平線と垂直線が交差する4つの交点の内どれか1つに主題を置いた方が良い画面になるでしょう。地平線は画面を半分に切ってしまうので、通常は地平線を中央に配置するべきではありません。上寄り、若しくは下寄りに配置させる方が良いでしょう。主たる考え方としては空間を上手に使い、躍動感・臨場感のある画面を作るという事です。
  • 動感表現 - ここでは被写体の「動き」を表現する手法を紹介します。動きのある被写体は止まって見えるか、もしくはブレて写りますが、これらはどちらの方が良いとは必ずしも言えず、どのような表現意図を持っているかによります。「動感」は主題と共に写り込んでいる他の背景等との関係で表現されます。例えばレーシングカーの撮影。車と背景とが共に止まって見えては、見る側にスピード感は伝わってきません。 なので撮影手法によって車は画面内で止まっているように写り、かつ背景をブレさせることでスピード感が表現され、このような手法を「パンニング(流し撮り)」と呼びます。一方で、背景と共に止まって撮られた高く跳躍したバスケットボール選手は、これは決定的瞬間の「不自然」なポーズになり、これも良い写真になり得るでしょう。
  • 被写界深度(DOF)とは主題の前側から後ろ側までのフォーカスエリアの事を言います。被写界深度は全ての画像で明解な意図のもと選択され、深い、または浅い被写界深度は、画像に品質を与えもし、また損なわせもします。浅い被写界深度は、主題を他の被写体から切り離し、見せたい被写体に注目を集めることが出来ます。深い被写界深度は空間を強調させる事が出来ます。広角(短焦点)レンズは深い被写界深度、逆に望遠(長焦点)レンズは浅い被写界深度が得られる傾向があります。また絞りを絞り込むと被写界深度は深く、解放すると浅い被写界深度が得られます。

グラフィック要素では形状、ボリューム、色、テクスチャー、遠近感、バランス、比率 等を見ます。

  • 形状とは主題に対する輪郭線、及び形状を言います。
  • ボリュームとは主題の立体感に対する品質を言います。立体感は横からのライティングで表現出来、反対に正面からのライティングは被写体を平坦に見せる傾向があり、不向きとされています。自然光の中でベストな光を得るには、早朝か、もしくは夕方の日の光が良いでしょう。
  • は大変重要で、強すぎる色合いは好ましくありません。
  • テクスチャーとは主題の表面材質の描写性に於ける品質を言います。表面材質は横からのライティングにより強調され、手に触れて伝わるかのような質感を与えます。
  • 遠近感とは、画像の画面内若しくは外にある消失点で繋がる放射状の直線、これに沿った形で現れる「角度」により表現されます。
  • バランスでは画像の画面内での重心が左右均衡か、若しくは片方に寄る等適切な配置が成されているかを見ます。
  • 比率では画面の大きさに対する被写体の大きさを見ます。一般的に、小さな被写体は小さく写真に表現してしまう傾向にありますが、相応しい撮影手法により小さな被写体を実寸とは逆に大きく見せる事が可能です。例えば、小さな花を大きな山よりも大きく見る事が出来ます。この手法を指して「倒置法」と呼びます。
主題の全ての要素を画像に盛込む必要はありません。多くの写真はそれぞれの個性で評価出来ます。すなわち、画像の色やテクスチャー等々により判断出来ます。
  • 『象徴性か妥当性か』 ー 『秀逸な画像』ではしばしばこのようなテーマで意見論争が起こる傾向にあります。技術的・品質的には出来の悪い写真でも極めて撮影困難な被写体を捉えた写真は、凡庸な被写体を写した品質的に良い写真よりも評価されます。もちろん撮影困難な被写体を写し、かつ品質も良い写真は極めて価値の高い写真と言えます。
画像は時に撮影者と評価者、若しくはどちらか片方の文化的な偏りが見られます。画像の意図は画像そのものの文化的背景により評価されるべきであり、評価者の文化的背景に依存してはいけません。イメージは人に語りかけ、そして慈しみ、怒り、拒絶、幸せ、悲しみ等の感情を喚起させる力を持っています。良い写真から与えられる心地よさには限りがありません。


画像のガイドラインを事前に読めば、あなたの推薦が成就する可能性を最大限に引き伸ばしてくれるでしょう。

Fresco of Apollon by Francesco Zugno in the foyer of the Teatro Grande in Brescia
 Comment I'm glad you say that, this is trompe-l'œil and the painter Francesco Battaglioli did a perfect job because the ceiling is flat. The black spots on the right are floodlights I could not hide.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Good point :-) Sorry, I don't read Italian (for the title) though I think the word Trompe-l'œil is missing there. Still, there is "flat" and "flat", and the camera doesn't seem in the axis. The bottom and the sides are not symmetrical. To be honest, at first sight my eyes were attracted by the distracting black shape. That part could be cropped out. The two columns at the bottom are showing the same perspective, as if the picture was taken from the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm terribly sorry, I was tromped, the right part is missing. Trompe-l'oeil is in the English description, the other is just the filename. By the way I was going to delete my comment. You can see it in the other fotos of the painting.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Re-updated comment Yes, after looking at this view I realized my first impression was rather right. And it seems also possible to take the picture from the center, like here. Thanks for your comment. -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And at least I was fooled a short time at thinking it was a real trompe-l'oeil :-) Is maybe worth visiting again :-) Basile Morin (talk) 23:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Wow, “seasoned users” – I must remember that cultivated phrase. Very useful, as nobody can say for sure whether this is a respectful description or a refined insult. Well, every FPC regular knows that Basile and me often disagree, but when Basile is called a “seasoned user” I hope I am allowed to share this designation with him. Or am I already a rotten user, having been on Commons for six years longer? Who knows … ;–) But I agree that nobody should be intimidated by any other user, of course. Please take our arguments, check them, compare them, form your own opinion based on reasons, vote. Thank you. – Aristeas (talk) 10:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I have changed the gallery link from Other objects in landscapes to Natural#Netherlands because most similar photos are on the “Natural” gallery pages. Your description (“horizontal play of lines behind the sea wall at Paesens with a view of the Wadden, a unique tidal area”) confirms that this is a photo of the landscape/nature. The dobbe and the fence are objects, but they are integral parts of the landscape, so we can still put this into the “Natural” gallery. (Thanks to Cart for the confirmation!)

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Underexposed Yes, though the picture looks interesting -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:21, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed. This is clearly proven by the excellent visibility of every detail on the head louse's body - its tiny hairs, complex body texture, and even various color shades. The dark, almost black background is not an exposure error, but rather serves to highlight the main subject more clearly. The image's tonality is well balanced - we can clearly see details in both lighter and darker areas, confirming that the exposure is not incorrect. This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect. If the picture were truly underexposed, we wouldn't be able to see such fine details and color tones that are now clearly visible. Janeklass (talk) 04:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disagree. You will see more details if the photo is better exposed. Currently the contrasts are very hard to distinguish, especially at thumbnail size.
Note that you can also see a lot of details here, although the photo is underexposed too. And that one was properly fixed.
Hard to hear that "it's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed" while the two first reviewers here both find the image too dark :-) Then above you write "This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect" (by the way, I don't understand this dramatic intention. It's just a close-up of an animal, no special background / context). Sorry, clear light problem for me, in state -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have responded to the criticism and want the evaluators to know that the lighting choice here is clearly intentional. How you choose to evaluate it is up to you. Janeklass (talk) 04:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It is too dark for my eyes. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:58, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It is a very fascinating image. The darkness is not a problem, as the object is clearly seen, and that seems more like a creative choice on this dark creature. I am thinking that maybe a square format would be better for this image... but I'm not sure. Kruusamägi (talk) 13:24, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Yann (talk) 13:40, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry. I agree that there are dark photographs which do not tolerate an increasure of the exposure – reproductions of dark paintings, some gloomy atmospheric landcape photographs, low-key photos etc. However I fail to see why this would apply to this photo, despite of the explanations. I have played a bit with this JPEG file and can confirm that a careful increase of the brightness works very well when at the same time the light parts are dialed down a bit. If you have a raw image or a 16 bit TIFF file, this should work even better. Of course you have all right to keep your photo as you think it should be (so keep it!), but I cannot support it here. Sorry again, – Aristeas (talk) 10:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I mentioned before, this solution was intentional. I did try making changes but wasn't satisfied with the result. I can see that opinions are divided on this one - and I suppose not everyone has to like the picture. It's clear that I won't get much support for this image, but that's okay. I'm already looking forward to when this period ends and I can submit my next works 🙂 Janeklass (talk) 13:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Small stained glass window from Sainte-Chapelle (King). Paris
  •  Oppose I am not a fan of stained glass photographed like this. The contrast and saturation has been pumped up too high so that the colours of the glass are exaggerated, and the details around the window are completely black. It doesn't look natural. I agree that many of the stained glass photos in the gallery have similar processing, but I don't think they should be FP either. This to me is an example of it being done right.

    •  Comment Dear Basile Morin, you have rated when, by what and under what conditions the photo was taken, but not any word about the image itself. Having read "Featured picture", I assumed that the pictures are rated here. Am I wrong? -- Ввласенко (talk) 09:41, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose And I'd like to add that "low resolution", "high ISO" and "narrow depth of field" directly concern the technical aspects of "the image itself", as you request. This photo was perhaps a fair candidate in 2012, but much less in 2024. And even at that time, a tripod would have helped to increase the quality. The edges are slightly blurry, especially at the top and at the left. The crop is very tight all around. Overall, it is a standard photo of stained glass, not an exceptional one, in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Montanaia Valley in the Parco naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane
  •  Comment Just a nerdy note regarding the resolution: Some camera sensors deliver some more pixels than officially supported by the manufacturer. These extra pixels at the margins of the sensor are cut off by the cameras when creating a JPEG image, but they are saved into the raw image files; normally we still do not seem them because most raw converters just cut them off, too, probably because some of these extra pixels are often faulty. If one opens a raw image file from the camera used here (α7R IV) with RawTherapee, some of the extra pixels are retained and we get an image of 9,560 × 6,368 pixels. This means that all pixels in this photo (9,557 × 6,336 pixels) could indeed come straight from a simple single shot. Of course the Exif data state that the photo was developed with “Adobe Photoshop 25.9 (Windows)”, i.e. probably with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), and ACR cuts the raw images from the α7R IV always to the nominal 9504 × 6336 pixels. But it is possible that the raw image was first developed with another raw converter (like RawTherapee) and only then edited with Photoshop … That’s the theory. Of course it seems more likely that the photographer made some kind of projection/perspective correction and streched the image slightly during that process; this would also explain the extra pixels and the image would still be authentic. – Aristeas (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The same applies also to other camera bodies, with a varying amount of extra pixels. Checking e.g. a CR2 file from the Canon EOS 5D IV, RawTherapee shows me 6732 × 4492 pixels – a little bit more than the official 6720 × 4480 pixels. So if one ever finds oneself in the situation that “just a few pixels” are missing at a border to complete the composition, it’s worth to give it a try and to open the raw image with RawTherapee … ;–) End of digression, sorry. – Aristeas (talk) 11:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question The nomination indicates the name Scosse as uploader, but according to the file page, the uploader is Civvì. And because this last version is significantly different from the original one, with heavy processing, lifted shadows and oversaturated colors, I wonder if these modifications have been approved by the photographer. This message suggests that Scosse is not at the initiative of the FP nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:13, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Basile Morin, and also wonder where the high resolution version of the image came from. If it was not uploaded by or with the consent of the original photographer then this is a copyright violation - if the photographer has chosen only to release the 6megapixel version then we don't have the right to upload a larger version that wasn't explicitly released under a Creative Commons license over the top Cmao20 (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi all, during the first candidature as QI the original version of the picture was considered too small so I asked the author if they were willing to upload a larger version of the picture, instead of uploading it they sent it me via email and I uploaded it. Maybe I should forward this email exchange to VRTS? --Civvì (talk) 15:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC) Update, I just forwarded the emails to VRTS. --Civvì (talk) 15:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Thanks for the clarification about the image source. The lens flares and dust spot are still a problem in my view, but more importantly, which person did manage the post-treatment here, Scosse or Civvì? Scosse could have sent the same image in larger size as requested, and Civvì handled the processing before uploading it? In any case the correct name of the uploader should be updated on this nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The author uploaded a new version with reduced flares. --Civvì (talk) 17:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks for the notification and attempt to improve, but sorry to say the correction is not well handled in my opinion. First, the dust spot and lens flares are still there (I will add image notes to specify the exact locations), then the dark spot added to reduce the white spot in the center creates artificial shadows on the rocks. Moreover, in this last version, the contrasts have been reduced, or the clarity increased, compared to the original, it's really blueish in the background and at the top of the foreground -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:35, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fresco of Apollon by Francesco Zugno in the foyer of the Teatro Grande in Brescia
 Comment I'm glad you say that, this is trompe-l'œil and the painter Francesco Battaglioli did a perfect job because the ceiling is flat. The black spots on the right are floodlights I could not hide.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Good point :-) Sorry, I don't read Italian (for the title) though I think the word Trompe-l'œil is missing there. Still, there is "flat" and "flat", and the camera doesn't seem in the axis. The bottom and the sides are not symmetrical. To be honest, at first sight my eyes were attracted by the distracting black shape. That part could be cropped out. The two columns at the bottom are showing the same perspective, as if the picture was taken from the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm terribly sorry, I was tromped, the right part is missing. Trompe-l'oeil is in the English description, the other is just the filename. By the way I was going to delete my comment. You can see it in the other fotos of the painting.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Re-updated comment Yes, after looking at this view I realized my first impression was rather right. And it seems also possible to take the picture from the center, like here. Thanks for your comment. -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Underexposed Yes, though the picture looks interesting -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:21, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed. This is clearly proven by the excellent visibility of every detail on the head louse's body - its tiny hairs, complex body texture, and even various color shades. The dark, almost black background is not an exposure error, but rather serves to highlight the main subject more clearly. The image's tonality is well balanced - we can clearly see details in both lighter and darker areas, confirming that the exposure is not incorrect. This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect. If the picture were truly underexposed, we wouldn't be able to see such fine details and color tones that are now clearly visible. Janeklass (talk) 04:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disagree. You will see more details if the photo is better exposed. Currently the contrasts are very hard to distinguish, especially at thumbnail size.
Note that you can also see a lot of details here, although the photo is underexposed too. And that one was properly fixed.
Hard to hear that "it's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed" while the two first reviewers here both find the image too dark :-) Then above you write "This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect" (by the way, I don't understand this dramatic intention. It's just a close-up of an animal, no special background / context). Sorry, clear light problem for me, in state -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have responded to the criticism and want the evaluators to know that the lighting choice here is clearly intentional. How you choose to evaluate it is up to you. Janeklass (talk) 04:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It is too dark for my eyes. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:58, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It is a very fascinating image. The darkness is not a problem, as the object is clearly seen, and that seems more like a creative choice on this dark creature. I am thinking that maybe a square format would be better for this image... but I'm not sure. Kruusamägi (talk) 13:24, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Yann (talk) 13:40, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry. I agree that there are dark photographs which do not tolerate an increasure of the exposure – reproductions of dark paintings, some gloomy atmospheric landcape photographs, low-key photos etc. However I fail to see why this would apply to this photo, despite of the explanations. I have played a bit with this JPEG file and can confirm that a careful increase of the brightness works very well when at the same time the light parts are dialed down a bit. If you have a raw image or a 16 bit TIFF file, this should work even better. Of course you have all right to keep your photo as you think it should be (so keep it!), but I cannot support it here. Sorry again, – Aristeas (talk) 10:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I mentioned before, this solution was intentional. I did try making changes but wasn't satisfied with the result. I can see that opinions are divided on this one - and I suppose not everyone has to like the picture. It's clear that I won't get much support for this image, but that's okay. I'm already looking forward to when this period ends and I can submit my next works 🙂 Janeklass (talk) 13:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Small stained glass window from Sainte-Chapelle (King). Paris
  •  Oppose I am not a fan of stained glass photographed like this. The contrast and saturation has been pumped up too high so that the colours of the glass are exaggerated, and the details around the window are completely black. It doesn't look natural. I agree that many of the stained glass photos in the gallery have similar processing, but I don't think they should be FP either. This to me is an example of it being done right.

 Oppose And I'd like to add that "low resolution", "high ISO" and "narrow depth of field" directly concern the technical aspects of "the image itself", as you request. This photo was perhaps a fair candidate in 2012, but much less in 2024. And even at that time, a tripod would have helped to increase the quality. The edges are slightly blurry, especially at the top and at the left. The crop is very tight all around.

Montanaia Valley in the Parco naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane
  •  Comment Just a nerdy note regarding the resolution: Some camera sensors deliver some more pixels than officially supported by the manufacturer. These extra pixels at the margins of the sensor are cut off by the cameras when creating a JPEG image, but they are saved into the raw image files; normally we still do not seem them because most raw converters just cut them off, too, probably because some of these extra pixels are often faulty. If one opens a raw image file from the camera used here (α7R IV) with RawTherapee, some of the extra pixels are retained and we get an image of 9,560 × 6,368 pixels. This means that all pixels in this photo (9,557 × 6,336 pixels) could indeed come straight from a simple single shot. Of course the Exif data state that the photo was developed with “Adobe Photoshop 25.9 (Windows)”, i.e. probably with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), and ACR cuts the raw images from the α7R IV always to the nominal 9504 × 6336 pixels. But it is possible that the raw image was first developed with another raw converter (like RawTherapee) and only then edited with Photoshop … That’s the theory. Of course it seems more likely that the photographer made some kind of projection/perspective correction and streched the image slightly during that process; this would also explain the extra pixels and the image would still be authentic. – Aristeas (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The same applies also to other camera bodies, with a varying amount of extra pixels. Checking e.g. a CR2 file from the Canon EOS 5D IV, RawTherapee shows me 6732 × 4492 pixels – a little bit more than the official 6720 × 4480 pixels. So if one ever finds oneself in the situation that “just a few pixels” are missing at a border to complete the composition, it’s worth to give it a try and to open the raw image with RawTherapee … ;–) End of digression, sorry. – Aristeas (talk) 11:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question The nomination indicates the name Scosse as uploader, but according to the file page, the uploader is Civvì. And because this last version is significantly different from the original one, with heavy processing, lifted shadows and oversaturated colors, I wonder if these modifications have been approved by the photographer. This message suggests that Scosse is not at the initiative of the FP nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:13, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Basile Morin, and also wonder where the high resolution version of the image came from. If it was not uploaded by or with the consent of the original photographer then this is a copyright violation - if the photographer has chosen only to release the 6megapixel version then we don't have the right to upload a larger version that wasn't explicitly released under a Creative Commons license over the top Cmao20 (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi all, during the first candidature as QI the original version of the picture was considered too small so I asked the author if they were willing to upload a larger version of the picture, instead of uploading it they sent it me via email and I uploaded it. Maybe I should forward this email exchange to VRTS? --Civvì (talk) 15:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC) Update, I just forwarded the emails to VRTS. --Civvì (talk) 15:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Thanks for the clarification about the image source. The lens flares and dust spot are still a problem in my view, but more importantly, which person did manage the post-treatment here, Scosse or Civvì? Scosse could have sent the same image in larger size as requested, and Civvì handled the processing before uploading it? In any case the correct name of the uploader should be updated on this nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The author uploaded a new version with reduced flares. --Civvì (talk) 17:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks for the notification and attempt to improve, but sorry to say the correction is not well handled in my opinion. First, the dust spot and lens flares are still there (I will add image notes to specify the exact locations), then the dark spot added to reduce the white spot in the center creates artificial shadows on the rocks. Moreover, in this last version, the contrasts have been reduced, or the clarity increased, compared to the original, it's really blueish in the background and at the top of the foreground -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:35, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
