  • Good question. I don't know the answer, just following the file info. The link to the original source is dead, sadly. I suppose it could be a reproduction made after the original artist died.--Peulle (talk) 01:41, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • You can download a larger file by clicking on the "Ladda ner originalfiler". It is a zip file that can be viewed in a scale not much smaller than this but in way better condition. If you don't have the right program to make a normal jpeg of it, just use the print screen and patch it together in any processing program. Since it is in the collections of a Swedish university, it should be ok to download it to Commons. --Cart (talk) 10:51, 23 March 2019 (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: the only supporter other than the nominator has changed to oppose and it is unlikely to gain enough support in the wake of that Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

USA public roads map
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic_media/Maps#Maps_of_North_America
  •  Info created by WClarke - uploaded by WClarke - nominated by WClarke -- wclarke 06:39, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I generated this high-resolution map from the most recent 2018 TIGER dataset, displaying every single public roads in the contiguous United States with the base map removed. The down-scaled thumbnail of this file doesn't do it justice, and I highly recommend opening it to its full resolution, where you can see a high level of detail (170.8 megapixels!). From far-away it looks like a typical map of the USA, but if you study it closely it reveals the history and expansion of the vast American landscpae. From the dark sections representing the dense metropolitan areas of the East Coast to the wide-open expanses of untouched land in the West, it creates a picture of America's relationship to its land and its settlement patterns, both past and present. I will admit I am not the first person to make a map in this style, but there was not a recent one on Commons in a resolution this high, so I thought it was worth uploading. Hope everyone enjoys the map as much as I have, and supports it for FP. Thanks. -- wclarke 06:39, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - This is certainly both a useful and impressive map. However, your census link is no longer working, so please fix the link, and I believe I can imagine what you mean by the "base map": city and state names and boundaries, river and lake names, perhaps railroad lines, etc. But if I, as a literally 47-year map and atlas enthusiast, haven't seen or heard the term "base map" before, it might be useful to give a very brief explanation. I'll note that there is no article about base maps on Wikipedia, and the definition in the Free Dictionary really explains nothing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:02, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Great work. -- -donald- (talk) 08:12, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Many areas show a very regular grid pattern. Is this for real, or because the dataset only contains some points, and a straight line has been drawn between them. I wonder if there is a more intelligent way to colour each pixel than using solid black. If each pixel contains only one road then use e.g. mid grey. But if two roads then 10% darker. Three roads 20% darker. Etc. Then it might not deteriorate to a black blob in urban areas, but better show the intensity of the road system at sub-pixel level. Another approach might be to create an even larger image, though you might then want to upload downscaled or tiled versions, for those who can't display huge images on their PC. -- Colin (talk) 09:01, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - The grid is definitely real and its origins go all the way back to the land grants during the time of the Articles of Confederation (see w:Land Ordinance of 1785), before the Constitutional Convention that was charged with tweaking the Articles of Confederation to make them work better and instead substituted the radically different U.S. Constitution. But the square land grants were kept. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:19, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The grid patterns also originate from the rectangular survey system, which divided property up into uniform squares — in between the properties they would build roads for public use. IMO that is one of the coolest features of the map. Before the rectangular survey system, roads often took very arbitrary paths, which can be seen in the Northeast. It’s also really cool to see how the roads on the map form around rivers, mountains, and other geographic barriers on the map. - wclarke 15:17, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question I would find this much more useful as a vector graphic (SVG) with each road described as a path. That way you could theoretically zoom in all the way up to the smallest road grids. Would this be possible with your technique? As it is the roads look very jaggy and blurry at 100 %. – Lucas 10:20, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Lucasbosch: I doubt this would be feasible as an SVG — this was generated using over 6 GB of shapefiles from the TIGER dataset, likely way too much data to put in an SVG. Shapefiles are similar to SVGs, as they are a vector file format. To make this map, I had individual files for the roads of every single county and then rendered them on one map. If you want to see them in extreme detail, you can always download the TIGER dataset shapefiles and put in software like ArcGIS or QGIS, it’s really cool. (though I will note that is pretty computationally intensive with that much data, but you have a good amount of RAM and a good CPU & GPU it should work — regardless, you can load smaller sections of the data in a time to look at if technical limitations are a problem) - wclarke 15:17, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Wow. Where I live I can see just how different the population density is on the two sides of Harriman State Park. Of course, it's obvious in retrospect, but the map brings it out like I'd never seen it before. Daniel Case (talk) 15:14, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment WClarke, after reading Daniel's comment and since you have this huge original, do you think you could make a version(s) of this map in sections too to make it easier to check out just some part of the map? It took me forever to just open this. I think chopping it up in 4, 6, whatever sections, might be enough. Perhaps with a little overlap if you happen to want to check out a part right on a cut. That way the sections can be downloaded as well, which is not always possible with the Zoom viewer. --Cart (talk) 17:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Info El Grafo: What you see and describe is a classic example of when the chromatic aberration settings in for example Lightroom are set to the wrong variables. The program can't make the distinction between actual pink/magenta or green/cyan and the CA version of it. The program overcompensates with these angular grey areas and sometimes even other colors. I wonder if this photo would not be better without any CA compensation at all. The author has probably just used the CA settings out of habit or by default and got all these mishaps in the photo. In cases like this it can be better to just go over the photo manually and replace any small CAs with the replace color tool/brush in say Photoshop instead of using the automatic tool. BTW, fun fact: The rectangles around the highlights that you describe as greenish are actually grey. (check it with a drop tool), but since they are surrounded by magenta, your brain will register them as slightly greenish, which is the Complementary color to magenta. Trick of the eyes. :-) --Cart (talk) 14:38, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: That's interesting, thanks for the explanation! My first thought was manual editing with a large brush, but I soon realized that the patterns are way too straight for that. I've never experienced this myself, but it's not difficult to imagine a CA removal tool getting confused by this kind of image. (An yeah, there's a reason I wrote "green-ish looking" instead of just "green" ;-p)--El Grafo (talk) 14:59, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned building in Namur
  • Very funny :) I was trying to say that any large city will inevitably have views similar to this one. That's not to say that urban decay isn't a valid subject for FP, just that I think such a scene would have to have a little something 'extra' about it - maybe something a bit more creative with composition or colour. I do like your picture though, and I understand why you nominated it. Cmao20 (talk) 15:43, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wiki Loves Monuments finalists are clearly not all quality images. After 6 or 8 failed nominations of iPhone pictures here, I think it's time to understand that the quality is not at FP level. Especially after such unambiguous scores. Now that's the 16th... See those stairs : posterized, artifacts, unsharp, poor colors, and the low resolution is not here to counterbalance these flaws. Please find another pool of champions -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:14, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • GerifalteDelSabana if you look at the metadata table on the file description page, the title says "Processed with VSCO with hb2 preset". VSCO is a collection of filters.

But it's not FP level, and I share the view that iPhone photos will generally struggle to make FP. Also we already have this FP of the cathedral which is considerably superior. Cmao20 (talk) 14:29, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Feels kind-of posterized (looks like the result from turning down the "Clarity" in Lightroom). Also, regarding phone photography, we should probably make a challenge to see who could get a featured image with one haha. They almost never deliver quality images and are usually horrendously posterized. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 03:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the moon (Current featured) Astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the moon (Replacement)

  •  Info This image (left) was promoted on 28 May 2005 (Original nomination). We now have a better version (center, replacement) at File:Aldrin Apollo 11 original.jpg. The current featured version may have been modified to add black space above/behind Aldrin. The original unmodified and uncropped version (right) can be found at File:AS11-40-5903 - Buzz Aldrin by Neil Armstrong (full frame).jpg (actual photograph as exposed on the moon by Armstrong). The file description at original exposure also states that A communications antenna mounted on top of the backpack is also cut off in this picture. So the current featured photo is actually an inaccurate depiction of this historic photo. This is my first time participating in a discussion at Commons. So I apologize if created this nom incorrectly.

+1--Peulle (talk) 11:52, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Adding empty space would make the photo false. Part of Aldrin's backpack is cut off in the original photo Armstrong took. If that is still more desirable, I can make that happen.Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 12:03, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See File:Aldrin near Module leg.jpg. I have added notes to the current featured picture that shows the issue more clearly.Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 12:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the backpack is slightly cut, but the issue remains. See also File:Aldrin Apollo 11 (jha).jpg. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:32, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would argue the current FP, as a conspicuously doctored and edited version, perpetuates the conspiracy theories. "Here is the evidence," they will say, "a digitally manipulated version created by NASA." That is the crux of their ridiculous arguments: that NASA somehow created these videos and photos. And we are helping them. Putting one of the originals (especially the original film exposure) as the Featured Picture would end this argument. @Colin: the only issue I see with the version I am advocating is aesthetic and composition. We are sacrificing historical accuracy for sake of Commons quality standards on composition. The current FP is simply a false representation of the historical event. It misrepresents the appearance of Aldrin's backpack. I may be new here but I have been involved in a major overhaul of all Wikipedia articles about Apollo Program for over a year now.Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 01:40, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think Commons or Wikipedia have any power to end conspiracy theories, and Commons mission is just to be a high quality repository -- what people use the images for is not our concern. Many famous photographs are edited, or adjusted when making a print. If we consider this purely on composition then the second photo should not be promoted -- it is awful. If we consider it as a faithful photo of the first moon landing, then it is valuable and has high EV. But I argue the publicity photo also has high EV. If the Apollo photograph was altered by a Commoner or not itself famous, then it would have very doubtful EV. -- Colin (talk) 09:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think the FP process of any project should interfere much with what editors do on articles, beyond alerting those editors to the existence of alternatives to consider or point at a discussion. The en:wp FP discussion is probably more relevant to wp article editors. What our consensus is here, is really not important to that WP uses. -- Colin (talk) 09:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Thanks for fixing that. I still see at least 4-7 dust spots, depending on which is a blotch or not. One is just to the right of the upper left corner. Another, even fainter, is a bit below and slightly to the right of that. One is almost due left of the nose cone. Another is almost directly to the left of that, just a hair up; there is another diagonally down and to the right of that and two others to the left and slightly up from that one.

Carte de l'ouest de la Bretagne
  • Je n’ai pas fait cette retouche volontairement, car elle est difficile et risque plus de corrompre l’image que de la restaurer. Parfois il faut aussi savoir s'abstenir de retoucher (sinon il faut reprendre sur photoshop toutes les craquelures de la Mona-lisa de Vinci). Si vous lisez la description de l’image, vous constaterez que cette carte a plus de 400 ans. Ce que vous devriez voir c’est son état exceptionnel de conservation. Le papier est sain, le tracé est bien visible, l’impression est net et les couleurs sont encore belles. Ce genre de document ne se scanne pas avec n’importe quoi. Je ne vois d’ailleurs pas ce qu’une meilleure définition apporterait puisqu’on voit la trame du papier. Le cartographe est un auteur majeur et son Atlas le premier du genre à être imprimé. Vous noterez qu’il y a des profils en travers du relief de la Bretagne, ce qui est rare. Vous noterez aussi les belles illustrations : A terre on voit les animaux qui font l’objet d’élevages (l’exemple du cheval qui est la spécialité de St-Renan et sa région - on le voit ici orner la région du Léon); en mer les illustrations sont soignées, chimères et bateau. Le cartouche central est finement détaillé et le compas donnant l’échelle particulièrement soigné. C’est une carte marine, donc on y trouve les hauteurs de fonds, les récifs, les îles … Il est certain que si on regarde juste le pli et la définition c’est autre chose. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 17:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That was exactly my point. I didn't speak about the conservation status, I spoke about the clarity of information and details. I know better conserved maps than this one and even older ones, but I can't bring them to Commons, cause it's either not allowed to upload them here nor am I able to reproduce them in a quality that would be sufficient to reach the status of a Quality Image. I do not vote for the archiv or library that conservates the original I vote for the reproducement. And in my opinion this could have been better done. It's an impressing map though.--Der Angemeldete (talk) 18:58, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vexilographic maps of Pontic littoral by end of 13th-17th century (reconstruction)

  • Thanks; I understand a lot better, but please walk me through the coats of arms I see for Sinop: First, we have the Janjarid Emirate from 1320-21 and 1327, and again under a different coat of arms in 1423. In 1428, what is the flag with the Jewish star and crescent? Then we get the Genoans. After that is a trifurcated white flag; whose flag is that? Then we have a red flag with a yellow rectangle in the center - who is that? Then we have the Ottomans, followed by a red flag. Who's the red flag? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:51, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 09:52, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Let me start with noting that over-all this map is much closer to professional quality than some of our current FP (e.g. File:Chicago top down view.png or File:LithuaniaHistory.png). It looks like a it would serve its purpose, but it is visually cluttered. To some degree that is due to the amount of information it has to convey (flags, symbols and numbers). But some of that clutter could have been avoided easily: The major problem I have with this map, is that the blue lines (legend at top left, are those shipping routes?) basically disappear in the visual noise that is created not only by the other symbols and numbers, but also by all those rivers that are not really relevant. Reducing the amount of small rivers to about 10% of what is currently shown by only keeping the ones important for navigating around the map would greatly increase the over-all readability of the map. Each map is a simplified depiction of reality, and one of the most important skills of a professional map maker is knowing what not to show. This is very close to what I'd expect to see in a printed atlas, but not quite FP-close yet. --El Grafo (talk) 09:21, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your attention, El Grafo! Yes, this is reconstruction of navigation routes from:
(✓ Done I translated the legend on the map into English with Gadget-ImageAnnotator).
This is a reconstruction of old maps. All old maps (Portolan chart) are overloaded with information (ex: File:Europe Mediterranean Catalan Atlas.jpeg etc).  :) Rivers and navigation routes do not interfere at all with the image, but decorate and make the map scientific. For the life of people and travelers of the Middle Ages the river played a huge role — need to show. This is a Maritime chart (this is not a scheme). :) — Niklitov (talk) 13:54, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • No need to be sorry. It's just a vacation snapshot that I happen to like for some reason. I know I tend to like weird things sometimes and if everybody else thinks it sucks that's totally fine with me. B&W doesn't really work for me in this case, as the contrast between the dull everyday life and relics of a better past on the one hand and the Christmas decoration on the other hand doesn't come out that well any more. I think it's that "putting make-up on a pig" kind of theme that made me take the shot and that sets it apart from the Korfu image. Anyway, thanks for your honest opinions so far, everyone. --El Grafo (talk) 15:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros by William-Adolphe Bouguereau
  • I was taught that "jeune fille" means "girl" and that it's really no different from "fille". I don't think literal translations that disregard connotation are a good practice. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, "fille" means "girl", and "jeune fille" means "young girl". The title is not really a good description of the painting, but if it is the artist's title, what can we do? Regards, Yann (talk) 11:56, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • FWIW, I don't really see the necessity for translating the the original title in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we have a rule that says that file names must be in English. And even for the Category I'd argue that the original title would be much more useful – after all, we don't translede Category:Au clair de la lune to "By the Light of the Moon" … --El Grafo (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
@Ezarate: Please fix the source, the author, the date, and create a category for the author. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:12, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes please fix the source because in my view this alternative is just the first version upscaled. Which means the real size is below 2 Mpx, and this nomination should be FPXed. The blurry appearance with heavy lines is exactly what we get when a small image is upsized (here almost four times), then modified with strong filters. Actually this second version is even worse than the first one since many details have been lost in the process -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:28, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The first is extracted from PDF, and the second is upscaled to reach the minimum of 2Mpx Ezarateesteban 14:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
✘[No] Sorry but this is against the guidelines. Image size : "Images should have at least 2 real megapixels of information", and JPEG compression : "Do not save edited JPEGs with a significantly higher quality than the original—doing so increases an image's file size but not its quality". By upscaling the files, you don't gain in detail, you just cheat with the pixels. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:56, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Col Rodella peak and the Cable car top station in the Dolomites.
  •  Support This quirky and unusual compo actually works for me in a surreal way. That big "thing" up right looks like an Imperial shuttle just landed on this wintery "forest moon". It's like a real life version of one of Simon Stålenhag's paintings. There is a nice diagonal line from upper right to down left. This one stands out from other alp photos. Stitching errors should be fixed though. --Cart (talk) 08:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Do fix the stitching errors. Also, I'm assuming where there are dark circles, none of them are dust spots, but if they are (such as all the way to the left a bit of the way down the mountain in the snow), correct those, too. I'll be happy to support when you make the fixes, as the composition is good and the resolution is amazing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:57, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose A good photo but not well processed. I would probably support if a number of things were corrected. First, the colours are way too saturated - the blues and greens are clearly too bright, and the colours on the building itself don't seem to accord with other pictures of the building, from a google search (too bright and saturated again). Second, there are quite a lot of artifacts at full resolution - interestingly, as Cart alludes to, these seem to be significantly less in the very first version of the picture. Finally, the shadowed leaves at the top left have a large amount of chromatic aberration on them. This can be corrected from RAW but given that they don't add anything to the composition and they're quite distracting, I might be tempted to clone them out completely. What I'd do with this picture is to take the first version, straighten it, clone out the leaves, and apply a significantly less aggressive increase to the saturation levels (maybe +5 in Photoshop). I can't guarantee the image would pass FP even then, but it would be a much better photo than it is now, and would well deserve its QI label. Sorry for the essay. Cmao20 (talk) 15:09, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The edits improved this significantly, but the large shadows of other trees in the grass remained and now they distract from the main subject too strongly. – Lucas 20:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support now with all the edits this has become a stunning view with good lighting. My only culprit left would be the blurred sides. – Lucas 11:55, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - This is a very good effort, and I seriously considered voting for it, but though it's well-composed and good, I think the sides are not sharp enough, especially at this size, to merit an FP designation. But it's not that far from an FP, in my opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:13, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I edited the image, the final results are shadows are removed, CAs fixed and it's no more Over-saturated. Thanks for your comments and specially to W.carter for his her help. EATCHA (talk) 20:14, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Even despite the technical issues or non-issues, I don't find this works compositionally as an FP (although I have no quarrel with it as a QI). The cloud on upper right is distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 05:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I like the image. It had a lot of potential from the start: nice angle, impressive subject, well composed. If you had access to the raw file, I'd like to see what lifting the shadows would do. But overall – for my taste at least – this is good enough for a featured picture. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:38, 4 April 2019 (UTC) P.S.

  •  Support Yes. I also suspect that the building itself isn't entirely straight everywhere. :) --Peulle (talk) 14:49, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Poco a poco, I find that the most recent change is too radical in changing the height/width aspect ratio of the building. In reality there is only one aspect ratio, but you changed it in your photo so I can't be sure anymore which is closer to reality. – Lucas 17:37, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lucas, I didn't change the aspect ratio in the last edit but in the one just after Cmao20 launched this nom, so before your review. Maybe you already reviewed the image before, and the previous version was in the cache of your computer. An aspect ratio change was required, I looked it at it in detail taking the circles in the windows as reference and went a step back in that edit.

  • I cleaned a few spots, mainly on her face. The rest looks more like noise. This comes from an argentic print, noise can't be avoided. Some scratches look like cracks in an old painting, so I guess this is due to the paper quality.

  • No problem, it's not an absolute rule but a way of avoiding confusion for those using the file who are not involved in FPC. A note with "stitching error" must be bewildering for someone just looking for a photo of the building. :-) --Cart (talk) 15:37, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eurasian nuthatch - Sitta europaea, male
  •  Comment I have no idea what you are talking about. The resolution definitely is big enough. Du you think you can stand in front of it in maybe 2 m distance while the bird is in hasty movements? Do you think it would waiting for you until you got your picture? For this hasty movements also the sharpness is right. So you can see the motion and it is clearly visible what it was doing. In my monitor you can see everything. Maybe that's your problem? How ever, I'll say nothing more to your statement. There is no point in discussing it. --Hockei (talk) 18:53, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Ok, I may know ziltch, zero, nada about bird photography but after some thinking I'm supporting this. We always get the same pretty "bird on a twig" here, but this guy is getting down and dirty with something in the bark and he is contorted with the effort. I have tried to find another photo (on Commons and online) where this behavior that is so typical for these birds, can be seen as clearly as here. So far nothing, most photos are of sittas sitting perky on their way down a tree. I'd call this a photo of a working bird; it's all legs claws and beak to get the food and survive. I like that. Size and detail are good enough for FP IMO. --Cart (talk) 20:02, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Per Cart. Wasn't sure about this one but I think the fact that it's a bit more dynamic than the usual bird photo outweighs the slight question marks over quality. Cmao20 (talk) 20:30, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The light here is unfortunately quite dull and partly there is some sharpness missing. Even though the bird might be shown in a special situation it is no FP for me.--Ermell (talk) 20:43, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The bottom half of the bird is not very easy on the eye. I've also marked a problem area. Charles (talk) 22:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment @Charlesjsharp: Looks like he applied sharpening and CA removal to the photo, but at that specific area the nuthatch moved, hence the motion blur; the computer tried to compensate for the false-positive of the motion blur, and combined with the sharpening, that effect was produced. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 03:42, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crocuses at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
  • Ideally it would be great if someone could identify the species here, but FPs have passed with just the genus, especially among photos of trees, were no more precise classification could be made.

Landscape around the Elim Dune, Sossusvlei, Namibia.
  • Hockei, Cart: I've reduced the contrast a bit, not sure whether you were expecting more, but guys, it was noon (look at the shadows) and I was under the sun in a desert. FYI too Lucas, Poco2 21:30, 7 April 2019 (UTC) Sorry, Cart, yes, sure, I know that but I didn't pay attention and wrote without thinking what is (unfortunately) more then likely[reply]
  • Sorry, I'm not impressed by this. I've seen what you can do with light and shadows in dark church interiors and night photos so I'm expecting the same technical level in a daytime photo. --Cart (talk) 21:54, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cart: A big portion of a church is in shadow and often there are stainglasses with incoming light, you definitely need to increase the dynamic range in such an scene using HDR, I don't think that this measure is appropiate here, where the areas in shadow are maybe 2% of the whole image. --Poco2 23:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You misunderstood me. What I mean is that you are very good at handling the light, even in difficult situations (I just gave two examples), so in that regard I expect the same level in any photo you nominate. --Cart (talk) 23:23, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, i can. I don't speak about shadows but the sky. Two pictures, same country, same photographer, same hour.

Rendu avec retouche du ciel excessive. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 07:57, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'm no landscape photography expert, but I know Africa and Namibia well. I struggle to understand the technical criticisms. The light and shadows seem true-to-life as does the processing. Charles (talk) 22:05, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Je ne suis un expert de rien, mais ma pratique de Photoshop est assez avancée pour reconnaître une retouche surtout quand celle-ci est complètement loupée. Une frange très fine est visible sur la dune à gauche. C’est la marque d’un détourage. La partie très claire sur l’horizon au-dessus du grand arbre est le reste du ciel non-retouché. Ce n’est pas un rendu naturel. Poco a posé un dégradé de couleur pour rendre son ciel azur et avoir un résultat proche de ce que l’on obtient avec un polarisant. Il n’est pas le seul à faire ce genre bidouille. Beaucoup de personnes aiment ça et votent pour eux, pas moi, désolé. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 08:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info S. DÉNIEL, désolé, mais vous ne pouvez inclure aucune autre photo que la nommée dans une candidature. Le FP Bot va le lire comme une alternative. Vous devez simplement mettre les liens vers l'autre photo. J'ai corrigé ça maintenant.(I'm sorry, but you can't include any other photos that the nominated in a nomination. The Bot will read it as an Alternative. You have to just put the links to the other photo. I have fixed that now.) --Cart (talk) 10:25, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Si vous utilisez ces balises, le lien ne fonctionnera pas (example: [[File:Duna Elim, Sossusvlei, Namibia, 2018-08-06, DD 165-162 PAN.jpg]]). Il suffit d’écrire les liens comme je l’ai fait ci-dessus avec le ":" entre les crochets. Le texte en gras, en utilisant le '''...''' rendra le lien plus visible. --Cart (talk) 13:18, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Je pensais plutôt à garder les images visibles et mettre des balises Nowiki pour qu'elle ne soit pas pris en compte par le bot. La comparaison visuelle, side by side, me semble plus parlante. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 14:07, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oui, il est toujours préférable d'avoir une comparaison visible, mais ici, elle pourrait aussi être mal interprétée. J'ai vu des utilisateurs voter pour des photos qui étaient des exemples parce qu'ils pensaient que c'était un "Alt". Mais si vous pouvez trouver un moyen de montrer des images qui ne perturbent pas la fermeture du nom par le FP Bot, vous pouvez l'essayer. Il serait intéressant de voir quel code vous utiliseriez. --Cart (talk) 15:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's very interesting! The two photos... Poco a poco: can you respond to S. DÉNIEL's observations on the sky colour and fringe on the dunes. Have you added blue? Charles (talk) 08:36, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to compare I'd rather compare 1) images taken at the same time 2) at the same place 3) the same day, which rather applies to these other 2 images that became FP in the last weeks: File:Dead Vlei, Sossusvlei, Namibia, 2018-08-06, DD 086.jpg (19 supports, no oppose, no neutral), File:Dead Vlei, Sossusvlei, Namibia, 2018-08-06, DD 101-104 PAN.jpg (17 supports, no oppose, no neutral). Neither those images nor this one look retouched to me. This image has got no special processing (no blues, no extra contast, no WB adjustment). This weekend I can provide more elaborate feedback. Poco2 19:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's what I expected, but I thought I should ask. My support vote stands. Charles (talk) 21:56, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vous demandez sérieusement qu'on la compare avec d’autres photos retouchées avec le même technique? Tous ce que ça montre c’est que ce n’est pas la première fois que vous faites ça. Je maintiens que la comparaison ci-dessus est pertinente : Two pictures, same country, same photographer, same hour. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 08:56, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can say it louder but not more clear than this: this image, along with the other 2 FPs that got a bunch of supportin votes, have not been processed in any different way than all other pictures I have taken in the last years. They use my standard settings, the only different between them is the (automatic) WB. I played around with it and I do believe that the current WB setting is pretty realistic. You are IMHO judging too simply, have you checked the altitude of those sites?: Elim Dune is 870m, Dead Vlei 640m and Spitzkoppe about 1500m. Have you seen the skies of my Bolivia collection?? Look at this or this, those are 4000m high, even more retouched than this one?. Have you actually been to any of these places and seen it with your own eyes? Poco2 19:02, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ne renversons pas les rôles s'il vous plaît. C'est vous qui avez insisté pour avoir une explication (pour ne pas dire une justification) de mon vote. Personnellement je ne vous demande rien. Je détaille mon avis qui repose sur des éléments factuels dont je laisse chacun juger ce qu’il veut. Vos soutiens n'ont rien a voir avec une explication technique concernant un phénomène physique. Ce n'est pas un concours de popularité où c'est celui qui a le plus d'étoiles qui à raison.
    À ma connaissance, un changement de balance des blancs ne peut pas expliquer l’apparition d’un dégradé sur un ciel. L'altitude n'explique pas non-plus qu’un ciel clair sans nuage change complètement en quelques minutes et encore moins quand le soleil est au zénith !!! Je n'ai nul besoin d'aller en Bolivie, dans l’Antarctique ou a Tambouktou pour savoir qu'un canon 5D est un très bon appareil photo, un instrument de capture de la lumière efficace. Ce n'est pas lui qui fait ça à vos photos.
    Enfin s'attaquer à mon niveau de compréhension (IMHO judging too simply) n'est franchement pas ce qu'on attend d'un admin. ça ressemble a une intimidation de quelqu'un a bout d'arguments. Je viens de faire le travail de comparaison de photos que vous avez demandé. Il est visible sur la page de discussion et les dates et les heures sont indiquées. J'insiste encore : je n'attends aucune explication, vous pouvez dire ce que vous voulez ou de ne rien dire mais il est inutile de mettre en cause mes compétences car ce n'est pas le sujet. Merci,--S.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Everyone has different standards for the quality required for FP and being QI certainly doesn't raise it above all possible technical criticism. Ikan didn't write it would be a good FP. The statue looks like a wax figure here, without even zooming all the way in. – Lucas 14:29, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Everyone has different standards for the quality required for FP”: No, we have not.
"[…] being QI certainly doesn't raise it above all possible technical criticism”. Oops! So I think there is a critical problem about the criteria for promoting quality images.
P.S.: Ikan Kekek considers this one an QI, so he/she automatically thinks this one does not have "low detail". 😄 ArionEstar 😜 15:25, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • A photo can be a very good QI without being an FP. This does look better to me than all the other photos linked by El Grafo, though. I will deliberate, but I do think it's very justly a QI. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Moderate support Personally I think the detail is enough for FP, and the other images that El Grafo links to are either lower resolution, under less interesting light, or not perfectly centred (as this one is, more-or-less). Based on a quick search of the category for this statue I can't see any better image on Commons for this iconic subject. This isn't to say a better image isn't possible, because it clearly is - but we can always delist it later if something stronger comes along. Cmao20 (talk) 14:05, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Yann (talk) 16:54, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The level detail is not great and I don't like the cropping off on the bottom of the statue. Charles (talk) 17:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  strong oppose this version. Compare original. Someone has cloned out the metal on his chest, and a highlight on the arm. The global noise reduction has eliminated stone texture. Perhaps one of our Photoshop experts could do a better job with the original, though I think it would be polite to at least ask the photographer (who may not be active but probably has email due to WLM). I wish people would respect other people's photos -- Commons is a repository, not a collaborative editing project like Wikipedia. I agree this is one of the better photos of the statue, despite the obvious composition, the sky and the direction-of-light is good. -- Colin (talk) 20:05, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Excessive noise reduction and the bottom is cropped off -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Preserved lemon in a clip top jar, 4 years old
I haven't tried them yet! I like the light, different gradients of yellow and exploring the lemon pieces. That together with the quality make it special in my eyes. But perhaps I'm just biased because my girlfriend made it and my pride affected my judgment too much :) --Podzemnik (talk) 11:22, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You don't have to do any special arraingment with plates etc. just something to make the photo a bit more interesting in addition to the tech quality it has now. :-) Perhaps a few more jars and some additional counterlight might do the trick. Example. --Cart (talk) 12:36, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's to clean factory marketing for me, yes my subjective view --Neptuul (talk) 19:14, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I was only talking about multiple jars and how the light falls, not the state of the jars. It could be even more interesting with these slightly rusty jars. :) It gives the subject a pleasant rustic look. --Cart (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Podzemnik, having some back-light is not as complicated as you might think. On this photo you could just have held up something to reflect the light from down left like a reflector screen, a Styrofoam sheet (very popular with photographers) or a shiny pot lid (you could borrow one from your girlfriend :-)). Btw, you can't just pull a nom from the list. It also needs to be closed and archived. I have fixed that for you. Good luck with the food shooting! The reflector is your friend in all such shots. --Cart (talk) 11:07, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Male panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis), size 17 inches in males.

  •  Support Ok, we may be blase and jaded here at FPC, but I'm not so far gone that I will frown on the first real image of a black hole. This is not something I thought I'd ever see. It is probably the next historical milestone photo after The Blue Marble and Pale Blue Dot. The next one of this magnitude might be the first photo of alien life. I don't care if the telescope array will produce better images of this later, this is the first photo and we can always "delist and replace" it when that day comes.

It is the world’s longest suspension bridge at nearly four kilometers across. It crosses the Akashi Strait to link Kobe with Awaji Island. It is the equivalent of four Brooklyn Bridges. It is also very tall, at 928 feet, which makes it higher than any other bridge in the world. The bridge holds three world records: the tallest, longest, and most costly suspension bridge. The bridge can resist wind of up to 180mph, and it can handle magnitude 8.5 earthquakes. Read more here: thealpaca.hubpages.com/hub/Akashi-Longest-Suspension-Brid...

Turkey vulture in Santa Rosa, California
@W.carter: Okay, ✓ Done--BoothSift 00:02, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this really a zoo shot? Going to the camera location, all I see are fields and forest. --Cart (talk) 15:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not a zoo shot. It looked like a farm or sort of country estate in the middle of nowhere in the Santa Rosa mountains. I was driving down the road exploring the area when I saw a couple vultures sitting on/near a fence at the end of its driveway, so I pulled over, got out, and got as close as I could without scaring it off. The background is an unkempt field/meadow/lawn area with the forest line behind it. I would've tried to make it horizontal at least, but that would've required getting too close (part of that "difficulties of getting a good wild life shot" I suppose :) ). — Rhododendrites talk |  15:35, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • In this case moving to  Neutral. Cart, yes, you are right, I took the wrong assumption. But, you also did the same mistake, assuming that I come to that conclusion after checking who was the photographer. I come to that conclusion because it does indeed look like a zoo photo and there was no information in the nom that suggested otherwise. The bird is posing on a human-made post, the background is an (artificial) lighting... why don't you just spare such additional comments? they are not helpful in any way. --Poco2 16:23, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

eharo mask (Elema culture). Papua New Guinea.
  •  Oppose  Neutral Crop at right will be very welcome here, and the result in a square will be perfect. Just give it a try, either here or in an alternative. Similar case here. Grant almost the same space at the left than at the top & bottom, then the right side will become far large enough. Of course you need lead room. But in practice this space is not supposed to be disproportionate. Just make it elegant. The quality here is not exceptional due to the lack of sharpness at full resolution (only acceptable at 3500 px large with the present ratio), but despite this weakness I will support the alternative because the artwork is very interesting. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC) Changing my oppose to a neutral which fits better to my view of this work in state -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:13, 18 April 2019 (UTC) ✓ Very good now -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:30, 19 April 2019 (UTC) [reply]
Hi all. My intention was to place the mask slightly on the left, to give more room to the "beak", but also to give more dynamism to the whole picture with the disproportion. The feeling being that a mask perfectly centered or to tightly framed would not help the eye to move in the photo. --Ruthven (msg) 07:29, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Traditionally, a portrait is vertical. See all the other masks in the same category. Now your current orientation is "tightly framed" up and down, because the margins seem drastically shrunk. You want dynamism ? Do like this Pinoccio. Since your mask is oval and not round, a square framing would bring verticality and dynamism at the same time. Other solution : increase the upper and the lower margins, then reduce a bit the left side, the beak will naturally pop up -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:47, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. On the one hand, the fair was in front of the castle and on the other hand the area would only be nearly black. In this case, comments would be like "castle too dark". It's a silhouette. --XRay talk 04:40, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Having dealt with scanners and printers most of my life, I know just how much a scan can ruin a good original. The most common thing is that it desaturates the original, sometimes rather heavily. This is because the very stong light of the scanner reflects on the paper and drowns out some of the color of the scanned original. I usually never use a scanner for copying art pictures since the scan requires so much post-editing. A camera is mostly better since it saves a lot of work. However, here the scan has been restored by Adam Cuerden, who I have come to know as one of our best restorers. If he has the original to compare with and says that this is a good likeness, I trust him. The image deserves another chance. -- Cart (talk) 11:47, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - I would vote for it, and maybe I should, but I'm a bit weirded out by the attitude the nominator is presenting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:07, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Since the {{Nsfw}} template is not working at present, I've replaced the thumb with a link. Prior consensus of Commons FP community is that readers of this forum wish to have control over when, where and whether to view images that are or may be NSFW. -- Colin (talk) 17:24, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I already asked for help with fixing {{Nsfw}} here. Your POTD argument doesn't mean anything other than there are people who lack the first clue to be found anywhere, and indeed when such an image does appear on the front page, there are female editors who complain or who form the opinion that Commons is for boys with too much testosterone and not enough brains. "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should". -- Colin (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Testosterone, like adrenaline, is excellent for the brain. This sex hormone stimulates Eros, and contrary to a widespread thought, intelligence has absolutely no link with a lack of testosterone (or progestogen). Women have estradiol and naturally many of them, feminist or not, would appreciate chippendales FPs on the Wikimedia home page (or more sophisticated works involving sensual contents stimulating consciously or unconsciously their libido). In File:Fine-art-nudesunpine.jpg, the posture is artistic (like dance) and the model as pretty as a blooming flower, thus I assume the pleasure of watching is equally shared between males and females. There are also women photographers like Sally Mann who include nudity in their personal works. All kind of photographies should have a chance to get rewarded here when they deserve. I can't imagine stopping cathedral nominations just because the number of Christian buildings on Commons is disproportionate compared to other religions. {{Nsfw}} was tested on my computer and is currently working well on Chrome, Edge and Firefox -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

View of roof with transepts and base of spire and 16 statues of apostels and evangelists of Notre-Dame de Paris in France.
  •  Support --Yann (talk) 09:49, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Cart. This high resolution picture is indeed valuable, but I don't think it would even have been nominated last week. The spire is cropped, the scaffolding unfortunate, and the light very ordinary. At a later time we can perhaps judge better, and worth comparing fairly with other photos of this very highly-photographed building. -- Colin (talk) 09:57, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • IMO, the whole point is that we won't see that part of the cathedrale again for years, if ever, i.e. how similar it is going to be after reconstruction... --Yann (talk) 10:57, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Colin, sorry. --A.Savin 13:21, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I am probably guilty, as Cart says, of voting based on my emotions about this beautiful building. But I believe it's FP nonetheless. Of course the image is not perfect technically - it's distorted a little at the edges - and I quite agree that it wouldn't have been nominated last week. But it now has value as a historical shot as well as a documentation of an extraordinary piece of architecture. When Our Lady of Paris is rebuilt, there's no guarantee it will look exactly the same, and I think an FP of the cathedral as it was before the fire is a good idea - to document what we've lost in the fire. Thanks for the lovely picture. Cmao20 (talk) 14:45, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Here you go: Category:Featured pictures of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. --A.Savin 16:19, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for pointing me to the category. Many of those are lovely, but I stand by a support for this one. To me, the point of this image is that it specifically depicts the spire and roof, the parts of the cathedral most severely damaged or destroyed by fire. Cmao20 (talk) 18:08, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Thanks for pointing me to the category". You should have already looked, though it doesn't help that category link is to Italy! We are judging "the finest on Commons" which requires researching the existing category of Featured Pictures of this (and/or similar buildings) and our existing extensive collection of images which may not yet have been nominated here. While some images that are not photographically/artistically good have other merits that make them superb, the main things going for this one is the great detail of the 50MP image and recentism. Regulars here will have seen this many times after tragic events, and nearly every time the nomination is rejected without prejudicing a later nomination. This building is one of the most photographed subjects in the world. So, the standard required for FP is high. -- Colin (talk) 18:56, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I do try to look for existing FPs, Colin, I had already found some using the FP galleries, it's just the category I hadn't come across before until A. Savin showed me. But, looking in that category, I see five generic shots of the outside of the cathedral, one of the interior, one of the ceiling, one of some stained glass, one of the towers, two of a façade, and three historical shots from the C19th. Nothing that depicts the exact parts of the cathedral that were destroyed in the fire, and certainly not at the resolution of this picture. And regretfully, we’re not likely to get anything better until the cathedral has been rebuilt – which could take 15 years, and may not look the same as it did before. Maybe it’s a better argument for VI than for FP, but that’s my rationale anyway. Cmao20 (talk) 20:48, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
