Comment - the sharpness and fine detail is lacking, but the overall composition and artistic effect makes up imo. Long exposure probably has something to do with this. —Mono 17:45, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry but low quality (maybe some kind of bad nd-filter?). And I'm not very fond of the composition, foreground and backgroynd competes for attention.--ArildV (talk) 20:21, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose I like the composition, but I don't get it, why aperture f/22? (lens diffraction issues) --Ivar (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- f/22 is probably just the logical consequence of the long exposure time that was used in order to make the waterfall look the way it does (ISO is already down to 100, so that was probably necessary to avoid overexposure). Sadly, this leads to everything but the waterfall looking rather strange – but (imho) not strange enough to be considered "artistic" → Oppose. I somehow like the composition and the colors though. --El Grafo (talk) 08:59, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Something strange happened here, the colour channel is completely blurred as if a way too strong colour-noise reduction was done. It's clearly not only an exposure problem because the brightness is a lot sharper, that doesn't happen in-camera. --Julian H. (talk/files) 09:09, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Motive, level of detail and quality is impressive. I also like the compositon and reflections on the water. One minor aspect distracts me a bit: The top-cutted inclining mountain at the very left side, but it does not change my supporting vote. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:27, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is an ”old” picture (ok, from 2010...) and I think I've learned quite much since then. But when I was in the same place the last year I tested different kind of compositions and places to take the shot. I ended up a similar looking composition because I still felt that a better spot and composition was very difficult to find. In my taste, the left ridge was quite necessary to include because otherwise I wouldn't have liked how the coast was so close to the left edge of the picture. In addition, the left ridge is so high and close that the composition would only get more weird by including the top of that mountain (then the left line wouldn't go out from the top). So in my opinion, this was a good enough compromise but I understand the issue very well. --Ximonic (talk) 14:43, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking it was special for the stunning and unique woodcut art style you probably wouldn't see in any other game, being a higher resolution than most screenshots.

Support - well done (it does look like this came out of an ad agency) —Mono 17:47, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question—er, could someone please explain how it looks like an ad?—Kelvinsong (talk) 21:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll try to explain: Why is the horizon (not sure if that's really supposed to be a horizon, but it looks like one) tilted? That doesn't make any sense to me. Why are some of the words smaller/less bold than others (e.g. "Virga" vs. "Anvil")? "Storm movement" is hard to read. "Anvil backshear" is hard to read on that (partly) nearly white background. Same thing with the "of a" in the heading. What purpose does that half transparent background of that heading have anyway? The whole heading is is imho the main reason it looks like an advertisement: In a scientific publication or textbook you would hardly ever find a heading/title within the illustration itself. Things like that always go into the descriptive text below the image ("Fig. 34: Anatomy of a Supercell. Some more detailed description following here.") – translated to Wikipedia that would be the descriptive text below the thumbnail. Sorry, but at the moment that's an Oppose per The Photographer. Don't get me wrong: The core graphics and the general idea have great potential, but there is just too much unnecessary stuff going on around that. --El Grafo (talk) 09:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the Anvil backshear label, and increased the opacity of Storm movement. I reduced the tilt (though I don't like having the horizon perfectly horizontal). The reason for the different fontweights is to emphasize the important features—the "key" features of a supercell. The details on what kind of precipitation falls where is less important so I put is in a lighter fontweight. I put the heading there partly because its sister diagram (File:Hurricane-en.svg) also has the same style heading, and it makes it more "standalone"—if it comes up in a google image search, people will immediately know it's a supercell and not a regular thunderstorm or strange icecream sculpture. Regarding textbooks, it's not uncommon for the bigger, more important diagrams to have their own dedicated title—in my biology textbook, there's a large diagram of an animal and plant cell, and at the top it says "Animal Cell" and "Plant Cell" in big print.—Kelvinsong (talk) 13:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Godescalc - uploaded, stitched, restored and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 13:35, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Dated 781-783 CE, this wonderful illumination of a carolingian parchment manuscript (here, Jesus-Christ) was commissioned by king Charlemagne, and executed by monk Godescalc and his workshop, probably in Aachen. I've restored it (very slightly), one can find the original file as first upload in the description page, and a link to detailed explanations (in french) on the original document in the BNF. Very high resolution for such a document. Rare illustrated testimony of the Christianity in the 8th-century of our era.

Support The photograph is not very attractive but it is one of the first musical instruments we know. In 1931 Begouen and Rusell wondered why there was this big shell in a Magdalenian cave from the middle of the Pyrenees over 300km from the sea. Instrument should be covered with a red coating, as shown by the remains ocher. Despite my insistence, the curator did not want me to play it (we do not have the same musical tastes) ...-- Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak support The photo and composition is very appealing and defintely a great shot. Congratulations! Despite the beauty of the image one should consider that the encylopedic value of it is very limited. The sculpture is called "Sunken Village" and as one can see on the WWW page of the artist Timm Ulrichs the artistic statement has no association to the Allianz arena. Showing the sculpture in the way as it is done here could lead to misleading interpretations. --Tuxyso (talk) 15:55, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Quality isn't OK, too yellowish - false white balance, noisy and false focus point: the eyes must be sharp, a part of the forehead is overexposed, the rest shadowed. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:10, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Too harsh contrast between highlights (blown parts of the window) and shadows, try HDR. --A.Savin 20:06, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not found of HDR pictures (looks unnatural to me), I don't really want to try it. One of the points of this picture is to show the contrast that does exist between the sun-bathed tainted glass that illuminate the retable and the parts of the church that remain in the shadow. IMHO, it would be a distortion of reality to make an equally exposed picture. --EdouardHue (talk) 20:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose While the objective may be to show the contrast between the illuminated parts and the shadow, there should really be some detail in the shadow areas and I doubt anyone would suggest the whole image be equally exposed, I certainly would not. More importantly most of the stained glass window highlights are blown out and ruin the image even if you accept the high contrast. Ww2censor (talk) 21:17, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a new version with more details in the shadow - they come at the cost of some noise in the lower right corner, albeit stronger noise reduction. Can't do much for the highlights though, as it was a sunny white sky outside. --EdouardHue (talk) 20:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- As for the cut off lamppost, I will tomorrow (the original is on an external drive) check if I cropped that out or if it wasn't even in the original image - I do agree with you that this isn't perfect, and may upload a new version; thank you for the feedback. Concerning the sky, unfortunately on a sunny day things would be even worse, since freight trains in that street run extremely infrequently: as far as I am aware, only two per day and direction - and each time exactly at a time of day so that you have to face against the sunlight to take a photo of its front (compare with the EXIF data, I was facing south). This is why I intentionally waited for a cloudy day to take that photo on. Also note that I deliberately included the "distracting" car (though I normally try to avoid including cars on my photos) on this particular picture in order to better illustrate that freight trains really do share the road with motorists there. darkweasel94 Diskussion/talk/diskuto 21:52, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info All by A.Savin. The image shows the most prominent part of the University Embankment (with some historical buildings of the Spb State University) in Saint Petersburg, Russia, as seen from the St. Isaac's Cathedral, during a changeable weather. Barely not enough participants in the previous FPC - however, I still find the overall atmosphere nice and dramatic, so I'm going to try again.

Comment I'm as much a fan of high-resolution stitched panoramas as the next person, but the lighting and weather conditions here are special and (I assume) not easily repeated. A vertical crop 1550px down from the top removes the distracting foreground and creates an interesting panoramic image imo, even if it isn't super high resolution.

Oppose - maybe something for a photo exhibition, but hardly a gain for COM:FP I think. It's easy to take very similar pictures in Russia (+ Ukraine, Belarus, ...), so you can hardly identify Yerevan here unless you believe the photographer... Apart from that, there are massive quality problems (and I'm not meaning b/w which is probably a good idea for this kind of motif). --A.Savin 09:12, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose: I am not fully convinced of the composition. The front of the buildings at the outside are not directed to the viewer of the photo but go somehow out of the frame. The empty space between the main building and the outer building make the composition from my viewpoint unbalanced. If it is impossible to change the shooting position these aspects are not the fault of the photographer but nonetheless avoid me to vote with "pro". --Tuxyso (talk) 07:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is a hot air balloon that resembles Mickey Mouse. This is an airship, it flies on public airspace, registered and certifiied as an airship, not as Mickey Mouse. The moment that it takes a utilitarian function, such as an airship, much like a car, in a public context amid its peers, it is just that... an airship. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:57, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I am not a lawyer and my knowledge on derivative works is fully based on the Wikipedia article but IMHO it seams we have a confusion here: The balloon itself might be a copyright violation (if not authorized by Disney) but the photo of the balloon is just a photo of something that was happening in public space and subjected to the same laws of photos taken in public space. This photo for example is not a copyright infringement although in it appears a copyrighted logo of a company. --G Furtado (talk) 01:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The shallow DOF means the eye(s) is out of focus. The green background and the leg are really distracting if the intended area of attention was the head of the bird (according to categorization). The details on the beak are good, but perhaps a closer crop of the bird with more of the head in focus would help I think. :) -- ~y (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the focus is not on the eye but the eye is not too unfocused, there's still detail. What I wanted to show is a close up of this flamingo resting, not only his head (the category came later, because I saw it and I thought the image could fit there). That's why I think the green background adds to the composition and it's not disturbing, I feel the colours complement each other well. There is this alternative picture, which is similar but has better focus: Phoenicopterus ruber - 03.jpg. It doesn't show the leg.

Thanks, Daniel for your kind words. This nomination (thanks Pine for that) reminds me the old good days that I spent most of my weekend with my little friends in Kadavoor. I wandered with my camera around the bushy-weedy-unattended places near my home, wetlands and water streams near the paddy fields from the morning to evening on those days. I love all insects, but butterflies and dragonflies show more interest on me. They show their love by flying around and chasing me. That makes me humble; I sat with them, kneel or lay on the grounds to make me smaller and smaller to make them more comfortable to play with me. J Kadavoor J e e 05:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The cow on the right has some overexposed parts, and I suppose the cows are the subject, because they are in focus and the background is not really in focus (maybe a narrower aperture should have been used, because of the long distance difference between the cows and the subject). However, the description and the filename tell that the subject is the lake and its environment. I also find the excrements disturbing to this scene.

Comment Hi, I am the creator of the map(s). As to the SVG/PNG question: Just like a photographer I want my works to have the best quality possible. Currently, the SVG renders do not look as good as I want them to, especially when it comes to text. I could convert text objects to paths of course, but I think that would be counterproductive—text objects are (and should be) an integral part of SVG, and if they do not work properly, the SVG renderer needs improvement.

The SVG version of the vatican map has been created in a hurry yesterday, when I was told about this featured picture nomination. It is intended as a working file for future use or translations. Unfortunately my Illustrator version does not produce useful SVG files, so I had to edit the code by hand and use Inkscape. This is not meant to be an excuse, but an explanation why obviously something went wrong with the extraterritorial pattern.

If you regard the PNG format as not suitable for a featured map, I will respect and accept your opinion. For me, the quality of a map (or other graphics) is not primarily defined by its file format.

As to the resolution: I have just uploaded larger renders. Large enough?

And thank you to everyone who voted Pro. :-)

-- Thoroe (talk) 10:12, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Try using an invisible text layer. Group all the text, and duplicate it. Add a rectangle outside the page border. Select a copy of the text, set its opacity to 0, and group it with the rectangle (it serves as a handle so youcan select it again). Then convert the other text group to paths.

Support This image is a good example of photographic rythm. It is a simple image with only one main subject(s) or element(s), wires and birds.

Comment Dear Chmee2, it is tough call. I left it because so the wires a a place to hang on to due to the diagonal. However, better to have it like this and have the final user crop according to need, if any. I know it is borderline... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:05, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Less is indeed more: more crop. The right hand side draws the eye and is messy with cut-off-birds and the insulator and bits of pole. By all means upload the uncropped version for users to take whatever crop they want from it, but the Featured Picture should be artistically cropped imo, not just source material. I can think of three crops that are stronger:

a wide landscape format image of the two or three horizontal wires only
a tall portrait format, or a square format image of the three horizontal wires taken around the left third or so
a square format image involving the crossing wires (these may require the odd half-bird to be cloned).

Of these my favourite is a square crop starting at 183x215 of 2084x2084 size. This has strong diagonal elements (top-left, bottom right) and emphasizes the vertical repeat of the wires and the horizontal repeat of the birds, without any mess off to the left. I'm out of time to upload this tonight but suggest it be considered. Colin (talk) 19:41, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Colin, well, give it a shot... I will in the meantime look for other pics I took that day and maybe overwrite. Regards, --Tomascastelazo (talk) 04:50, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- The red channel is blown. A common problem with many flowers! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:45, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question I didn't understand your meaning. Can you explain what you mean more simply for me please? --SuperJew (talk) 06:22, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The JPG records levels of red, green and blue for each pixel in numbers between 0 and 255. The mix of these gives all the colours of the JPG. If an image gets over-exposed then the numbers hit 255 and no tonal variation is seen. Often all three colours get "blown" and you see pure white. But sometimes just one colour (channel) is blown. In this case, red. Some image programs let you see a histogram of the range of colour levels in an image. See this link for an online alternative (you may have to click the link below the image to see the histogram). You will see that the red channel has peak at the far right of the histogram indicating a lot of pixels have 255 for red. There's not much one can do if the camera saves a JPG other than to take it again with a lower exposure if possible. Photographing on an overcast day rather than bright sunlight can also help as this lowers the range of brightess, keeping things within the range the camera can cope with. If using a DSLR and outputting RAW files, then there is a little more scope to rescue things, but not a lot. Colin (talk) 08:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question Ok, so how does this make this specific picture less good? Looking at this picture doesn't seem to me as if this "blown" channel affects the quality --SuperJew (talk) 08:11, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't as much tonal variation as if the image were better exposed. The veins and surface texture are lost. Colin (talk) 10:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The patch of fog was rapidly moving north east at that time, and ship wave cloud formations can be seen off the coast of Shanghai caused by air disturbed by small islands. A smaller fog patch also lingers off southern Shanghai's coast can be seen in the image. Besides Shanghai and fog, on the top left of the image, inter-linking towns can also be seen, along with yellow sediment in the Yellow sea and Eastern China sea.

Info Shallow but precise depth of field (pupil) in order to create a three-dimensional feeling and show volume. The lynx was behind a thick glass.

Oppose excellent quality on the photograph, but the composition isn't appealing to me. Also, I feel there's too little space in the front of the lynx. -- ~y (talk) 12:26, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I tried to fill the frame with a close up portrait of the lynx from one side. I think that if I had left more space one the left side, the lynx would have lost some protagonism. --Kadellar (talk) 20:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Composition is unusual but I like it. The only things that need to be improved IMO are the background noise and lack of coordinates. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, thanks for your support. Do you think it is useful to have the coordinates of the lynx if it's living in a zoo? I can add them, but I think they'd be more interesting if this was taken in the wild. --Kadellar (talk) 21:12, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - It would be more interesting if it was taken in the wild, but I still think it should have coordinates, so you can see it was taken in a zoo. Some others might disagree with me though. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose I've looked several times on this photo and finally concluded that I cannot support it. For sure the motive has definitely FP potential and is technically well photographed. But the main reason for decline is the tight composition at the top and at the left and right. I guess that are a lot of disturbing objects due to the currently running construction phase of the building nonetheless the composition is for my visual impression not convincing. Another reason is the construction phase. For sure: It has documentary value, but for an FP of a building I expect a building without the disturbing scaffolding around it. Probably you make a new photo when the arena is ready. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:41, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Who was the sculptor of the medaillon? It is signed on the proper right shoulder (left in the image), as can be seen in the full resolution of File:9307 - Milano - Giardini Pubblici - Monumento a Giuseppe Balzaretti - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 22-Apr-2007.jpg. Unfortunately, the signature isn't legible in that photo. So far I have only been able to determine that the monument was inaugurated on September 12, 1876.[1] (And is his name Balzaretti, as on the monument, or Balzaretto, as in the Italian WP?) Lupo 14:49, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it's pretty unclear. The inscription on the monument clearly shows that his family name ends with "i" unlike some other sources that prove it ends with "o". First I came up as it is written on the plate, but afterwards redirected the article as it was in the category here and the article on the Italian Wikipedia.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 15:20, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Hi Citron, I did it before my voting. When I looked to whole scale, I think that especially the area of mandibles is not sharp enough. The reason is low DOF in the time of taking the image.

Question Is it the rails which have some geometrical distortions in the lower left corner or is it due to some perpective distortion in the lower left corner, which could be improved? Otherwise very interesting with good light and colors. --Slaunger (talk) 19:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Slaunger, thanks for your comment. I was standing directly perpendicular to the center of image therefore I assumed that it is due to irregularity railing (as many other irregularities visible on image). Best regards --Chmee2 (talk) 20:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support OK, thanks for the explanation. Yes, I did notice other minor imperfections in the geometry, just wanted to check this one out as it stood out as being larger than the others and could have been due to some alignment problem. --Slaunger (talk) 20:08, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't know exactly what it is I don't like about this one. The crop has something to do with it, perhaps. But maybe it's the light ... maybe too late in the day so that the raking light actually works against this? Daniel Case (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Weber, de Lasteyrie and Georges Cuvier - uploaded, stitched, restored and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 16:24, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support In the volume II of the "Illustrations of Natural History of Mammals", between images of a corsican sheep and of a monkey, one can find these two drawings. Sarah Saartjie Baartman was a slave in South Africa where she was born, exhibited in freak shows in Europe, forced into prostitution in England and France, and finally studied as a "specimen" of natural history by Cuvier, a few months before her death. He made a cast of her body (I remember I saw it in the "Musée de l'Homme" in Paris when I was young), and gave many explanations about inferiority of some human races, especially the african... But we have now to remember that she was a person and a women. Her remains were repatriated to her homeland, the Gamtoos Valley in South Africa, only on May 2002. One can read very interesting articles in many wikipedias about this person. These are 1815 very high quality and rare pictures. -- Jebulon (talk) 16:24, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose because it hurts (me personally as I too a human). "Images must not unfairly ridicule or demean the subject." I think Commons:Photographs of identifiable people is applicable to artworks too. Just my personal opinion; not interested for a discussion. J Kadavoor J e e 06:30, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I totally agree with Jkadavoor. Jacopo Werther ^iγ∂ψ=mψ 08:21, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm afraid you both completely misunderstood the purpose of this nomination. This image is far much less ridiculous than all others of the category. Actually, it does not unfairly ridicule or demean the subject at all, because it was very seriously published for a 1815 scientific purpose. She spoke three european languages, was a good musician (said Cuvier), and she looked really like this. That's one of the bad faces of History, history of science, history of litterature (Victor Hugo spoke about her), history of cinema (several movies about her story), history of the relationships between western world and african nations (France voted in 2002 a special law for the restitution of her remains to South Africa and Khoïkhoï people), history of ethnology, history of racism. Again, my advice is to read the articles.Jee, I'm surprised that you are not "interested for a discussion", I thought you were always "interested for a discussion" --Jebulon (talk) 08:24, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Georges Cuvier today would be subject to the international courts. What he did with Mrs. Sarah Baartman can not be forgiven, he soiled humanity and he discredited science. It's a shame for France who waited until 2002 to recognize his actions and return the body to the family. But mostly this is a shame for all of us, we have to think. Do not want to see it, do not want to talk, makes us complicit. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:56, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly; this is just another subject I don't want to celebrate/feature. J Kadavoor J e e 14:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- As above. But we shouldn't be ashamed about the actions of our ancestors.

Support Because the nomination is an important historical piece of work illustrating how perceptions of other cultures have evolved over the last few centuries. It also has high technical quality. This historical evidence needs to be featured to remind us not to return to such views on other cultures again. It is good for a country to reconcile with its past this way. For me, as a Dane it is also a reminder of the active part "my country" had in slavery in the West Indies, where it was not forbidden until 1848. --Slaunger (talk) 19:25, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Future generations may see our fascination with zoos and performing animals in similar light as we are seeing this image? There are countless things that are acceptable today that may be unacceptable for future generations and it is the same with history. History cannot be changed but whatever bad happened can be remembered so that it can never be repeated again. -- ~y (talk) 21:52, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is a good quality illustration and an excellent restoration job that illustrates a cultural, social and historical significant figure. --NJR_ZA (talk) 10:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you very very much ! I am very happy and proud to get a support of a citizen of South-Africa, who surely knows deeply what I mean.--Jebulon (talk) 11:50, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I can not speak for South Africa, only for myself. Personally I think the illustration says more about human nature in general than it does about the individual depicted. I have visited her grave site a number of times (not specifically because it is her grave, but also because it is situated on a magnificent lookout point) and was shocked on more than one occasion due to the state of the grave. In my mind vandalism[2] of the grave is far more demeaning to Baartman than this illustration will ever be. The history of Saartjie Baartman is controversial, but I think that anyone today that look at this illustration and then read her history may benefit by asking themselves when I first looked at the illustration, did I see a freak or a fellow human being? --NJR_ZA (talk) 13:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
