  • "No embedded color profile" means the colors display differently in every computers. The greens appear like radioactive on my screen. This is fixable on Photoshop, but I see from the metadata you used the software Snapseed, which is, according to Wikipedia, "a photo-editing application for iOS and Android that enables users to enhance photos and apply digital filters"... -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:30, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Hi Anna, the Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer can not add a color profile to your photo, it is only a tool to see what could be wrong with an image. The 'color profile' is part of the code in a photo and it tells computers how to display the color. Since that code is missing from your photo, different computers will show the colors in very different and sometimes strange ways. You need to go back to the photo processing program and see how you can add the information about the color profile. If you don't know how to do this, the are always good videos on YouTube for such things. As it is now, every person looking at this photo on their own computer, will be given wrong and sometimes crazy colors, that is why some users think you have added saturation to the photo. You can read more about this here on Commons at COM:PT#Colour space. --Cart (talk) 13:41, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, they look the same since you looked at them on the same computer, your computer. Your photo is calibrated for your computer. But looking at the image on another computer of a different brand, with a different browser, it will look different. --Cart (talk) 06:56, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Interior of Hallwyl House - Great Drawing Room, panorama
  •  Info I feel flattered that this image has been nominated. I am aware of the issue of distortion in panoramas. I still prefer them to 3-D images, because they can be viewed straight without a viewer. I intentionally drew out the distortation to the end of the walls on either side, because, standing with the back to the fourth wall this was the only way to take in the whole room with my 12mm (18mm, 35mm-equivalent) lens, held vertical. This is the perceived field of vision, when you are standing at this point. Of course you move your eyes from left to right and back again at that moment. But this is what your mind puts together in your head when standing there. --Rainer Halama (talk) 19:39, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm usually one of those who objects to distorted images out in the open, but that is because we can't be sure or know, if a road/river/shoreline is bent or actually straight in reality. Here the distortion doesn't bother me at all, because it's easy for us to percive this room as rectangular despite being 'folded out' in this way. The photo has great EV (educational value) and you can pick out all the lavish details in it, and I think the sheer size of the image makes up for any noise in dark corners. --Cart (talk) 20:07, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the comment Cmao20. Much appreciated. According to the histogram, it should be ok, but that never tells the whole story. It's things like this that are harder for me to see now. I've dialed back the red a bit. (You might need to refresh the file page.) --Cart (talk) 07:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, my noms wouldn't be complete without your 'oppose', but if you check the link above, you'll find that the photo is hardly processed at all. I adjusted the light and de-saturated the colors. No blurring only natural DOF, no filters. I wouldn't call that too much processing. --Cart (talk) 09:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The process can also take place in the camera itself for the lens used, however the blurring part is not good. If I don't like your photos I object,doesn't it work like that? Or do you only like favourable ratings? Anyway you don't have to take it personally, if I found a photo of yours that I liked I would vote for it, I vote for the photo not the person. If the others will vote positively, why are you offended? I could be wrong, of course.--Commonists 10:27, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course you can object, it was a tongue-in-cheek-comment since you do it so often. But I don't like being accused of things I didn't do with the processing. --Cart (talk) 10:34, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zamość Lost Children (1940-44)
  •  Comment I want to remind you of the description of a Featured Picture: "This is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (Featured pictures) and is considered one of the finest images." Not "this is a not-very-sharp picture of an emotionally moving but stationary object". And the fact that it didn't look that good even when you downsampled it - which you're not supposed to do in an FP nomination (OK, maybe Diliff did it, but his files were very large and fantastic, not reduced to this kind of size) - and that it looks awful at full size (sorry, that's just the truth) really doesn't give you pause in trying to argue that it's somehow one of the best photos on the site? I'm really sorry, I know this post seems harsh, but I'd like you to consider more carefully what you nominate and really choose your best photos, because I believe you are capable of shooting FPs. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:18, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment @Ikan Kekek: There are many beautiful high quality images in the Monuments and Memorials Gallery but there are not many photos that provoke much thinking about those who are being commemorated which IMHO is what the “finest images” of memorials should accomplish. Understand that others do not share my opinion and that my relatively crude photo of this small plaque does not meet your own high standard for an FP. However, I nominated this image because not only did it pass as a QI but in my mind it strongly provoked thoughts of the many children who suffered and died during WWII (as well as thoughts of the many children who are still today starving and dying around the world). Perhaps, as evidenced through reviews of recent images I have nominated of Mary, I simply have to accept that FP is not an appropriate forum for aspects beyond pretty pictures with good technical attributes to be appreciated, even when the main subject of the image under review is a religious sculpture that I would suggest was probably created from inspiring thoughts in the mind of the artist\sculptor. --SM:!) (talk) 08:08, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment FP is about everything, certainly including a photo being moving, but a certain level of technical excellence is demanded for a photo of a stationary object. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:34, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

African scops-owl
  • Sorry Charles, maybe I should have checked with you first. I get your point but I see it as FP because I love the owl's squinting expression and also the camouflage point. Would you prefer me to withdraw or shall we see how it goes? Cmao20 (talk) 23:28, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I've to agree RolfHill (talk) 11:42, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Years ago we had a lot of pictures that demonstrated the effectiveness of animals' camouflage. The problem is that this, the very thing that makes them uncontestable VIs, also runs counter to the principles we judge images by here, where the subject should stand out. I think we had maybe one picture here where the wow came from how effective the camouflage was. This is not one of those. Daniel Case (talk) 02:15, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination OK, withdrawing per lack of support and the request of the creator. sorry Charles. Cmao20 (talk) 01:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The background blurring feels almost unintentional, which, to me, gives the image a sort of restless feel. --Askeuhd (talk) 08:26, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm OK with the degree of blur in the background, though the blurring starts a little too close with grasses that I'd consider part of the foreground, but I don't like the dirt-and-rocks foreground and just in general don't find the composition compelling enough to consider this photo among the very best on the site. I'm a little doubtful that I'd support this photo if it's nominated at QIC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:29, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you a lot Ikan, I look forward to the constructive "complaints", as this is the most valuable part of putting the images for the discussion here. There are "sure-fire" photos destined to success from the beginning (such as a planned excellent photo of an architectural masterpiece or a sharp photo of a rare bird), but the most interesting thing is to find out the opinion of the experts for somewhat controversial photos (for example photos from street photography genre, where a split second decision to take a picture may lead to an unsuccessful crop). -- Maksimsokolov (talk) 03:35, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Polypedates megacephalus resting on a wooden beam in Laos

  •  Comment f/5.6 on MFT equals to f/11 on full frame and delivers the best sharpness on this system. As I believe that this is a hand-held shot, f/5.6 + 1/25 s + ISO 400 is IMO the wisest choice for this shot. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Example of a shot taken at F/13 @24mm, so really not far from this picture. And all is in focus: foreground AND background. But I took care to focus at a good distance, while I suspect it was not the case here: it seems that the focus is too close (for my taste) -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks for the feedback! My intention here was (if I remember correctly) to focus on the foreground and not necessarily have everything as sharp as possible; but I agree that might have been the better choice. Note that the camera is M4/3 (with a crop factor of 2), so f/5.6 is not as wide as it would be on full frame; but I could have chosen f/8 instead. --Domob (talk) 04:21, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I agree with you and Basotxerri above concerning this factor, but I'm also surprised by the level of blurriness behind, at F/11, thus I assume the point of focus could have been better, if chosen further, at an intermediate distance between the foreground and the background. Just my subjective feeling -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Painting by Tiit Pääsuke
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media/Others#Others
  •  Info created by Tiit Pääsuke - uploaded & nominated by Kruusamägi (talk) 17:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Kruusamägi (talk) 17:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Could we get a little backstory to this upload? e.g. Is OTRS from the photographer or from the artist? Hopefully the latter? Is there any link to a source url you could provide? — Rhododendrites talk |  17:11, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info OTRS is from the Tartu Art Museum, that has this painting in its permanent collection and they also got permission from the artist to share all the repros under CC SA-BY 4.0 license (also permissions from private collections owners, but that would be relevant with some other paintings we now have on Commons). The museum currently has Tiit Pääsuke retrospective exhibition “Nostalgialess” (even tho that could not be visited physically at a moment due to COVID-19 restrictions). Pääsuke is considered among the leading painters in Estonia in the 1970s and 1980s. In this February he also received Lifetime Achievement Awards for Culture in Estonia. That painting is from 1982 and that period could also be considered at the height of his fame, as in the 1980s painting was still a hugely important part of the culture scene (in 1990 it lost most of its notability; i.e "death of painting" reached to Estonia). Also, there is relatively little more recent art in Commons (i.e almost nothing). Kruusamägi (talk) 17:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. My concern is permission from the artist to share all the repros - unless I'm mistaken, the artist would need to explicitly release the original copyright (the painting itself) in order for it to be hosted on Commons. — Rhododendrites talk |  18:09, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Legally there is no reason why should the artist give the object itself under a free license for the photography purposes. Naturally, all of it is less obvious when we are dealing with paintings, so let's just say Pääsuke is a sculptor. Should he release his sculpture under a free license, so that we may freely share images made from it -- no! (but he could still allow everyone to share the images freely nevertheless and could choose to only keep the exact shape copyrighted!). To make this example more extreme to prove the case: what if we would throw FoP into the mix? We can think of an example when one sculpture is in a country where there is FoP, and another sculpture in a country where there is none... so in one case everyone can take as many images they like and do whatever they wish with them, but with the other... not so. Stating that a sculptor should release this other 3D object under a free license so that an image could be added to Commons would be extortion and legal nonsense. That is pretty obvious I'd assume. So let us now go back to the painting. Museum ordered a photographer to take photos of every painting that was put to that exhibition, those same images were used in printed materials and the artist also agreed that the same files could be published freely. Artist could choose on what does he allow and there is no leger reason that the paintings themselves should be under CC SA-BY 4.0. Let us go back to FoP: it is clearly different if an object could be freely photographed (like in a country with FoP) or if it would itself be under a free license (so that you don't need to bother about the lack of FoP and could just as well freely 3D print sculpture shaped keyrings and stuff). (As a side notice: we don't actually have all of the exhibition images in Commons: artworks from other museums are excluded, as it was unlikely to get permission from them). Kruusamägi (talk) 19:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • All material on Commons must be usable and modifiable by anyone for any purpose. According to COM:FOP Estonia, Estonia does not have a compatible FOP law. Because the photograph is of a copyrighted work, the copyright of the work is relevant. Without FOP, and without that copyright owner publishing the work itself with a free license, unfortunately we cannot host it, sorry. :/ On the chance that I misunderstand something, I would appreciate a second opinion. — Rhododendrites talk |  19:49, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • That specific image is under CC SA-BY 4.0. How is that not usable and modifiable by anyone for any purpose? Nor is the FoP relevant with a painting (I just used this to explain the copyright, as it is important to understand that this is legally hugely different on what specifically is free and what is not... and how all of that works). You misunderstand that thing badly. Let's get back to evaluating the image. Kruusamägi (talk) 19:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • I'll explain it a bit more just to be sure, thet there is no missunderstanding. Artist holds the underlying copyright (...or the museum, depends on what is in the contract between artist and the museum... but as both agree with the exact same thing, then this detail is not relevant to us and we don't need to investigate further). Now there is a photo of that copyrighted artwork. What is relevant to us: a) if that photo could be used freely and b) if that permission is valid in the first place. We know that the artist+museum has the copyright to both the artwork itself and to the photo of it and we know that they have agreed to CC SA-BY 4.0 license for that photo. So both a and b have the answer yes. You might still worry, that "this artwork itself isn't free" and you would be right. But the thing is that this is not relevant as we are dealing with the photo and whoever wishes to use or modify this specific image, then he or she is perfectly allowed to do that. They may not have the right to take some weird angle photo or that artwork (like the backside of it) and use that specific new photo freely (as the artwork itself isn't made free), but that is totally irrelevant in the current case as this doesn't affect this image even the tiniest bit. Like if we have one image of a sculpture, then we only need to worry about it and not about if "some other image of that same sculpture (by some other photographer) would also be free". Kruusamägi (talk) 20:25, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • After your request to get back to evaluating the image, I thought I would respect that and move it to COM:OTRSN and collapse/hide this thread so as not to weigh down the review. Sorry, I did not see this last message beforehand. I may be being dense here, but I think it could use another opinion. Feel free to {{Hat}} this section if you see fit. — Rhododendrites talk |  20:39, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Don't be too unimaginative about encyclopedic uses - not that FPC is close to exclusively about that (that's more VIC's purview). This could easily be useful in an article about Normandy, its land use, Landsat 8 images, the Operational Land Imager and doubtless any number of articles neither you nor I would think of. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:07, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're recommending cropping out parts of a painting? No, and perish the thought! That's OK only if you want to do a detail shot, and I seldom find those interesting, because the composition is the full work as created by the artist. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:03, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's OK to crop out frames, except when the artist themselves deliberately painted on them. That's not this situation, except for part of the top, but there's no good way to crop that out without cropping out parts that he painted on. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:14, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

“A battalion commander”. Soviet officer leading his soldiers to the assault, 1942
  •  Disagree That's film grain and thus integral part of the image – a faithful digital representation of the historical analog original needs to include this. Removing film grain would be somewhat equivalent to retouching visible brush strokes in a painting … --El Grafo (talk) 09:26, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Extended content
  •  Question What quality are we expecting from the picture taken during the battle in 1942, under fire? The photographer did not carry Alpha 1 that day. Some other pictures are supported with crops and noise, simply due to the "wow" and uniqueness factor. For example, the Appolo mission picture on this page has the lunar module not sharp and a crop on the right side and, of course, nobody would raise this, since the picture is unique and the circumstances are special. If these were regular pictures, oppose would be in order; but for such unique pictures, their technical (very understandable and natural) shortcomings should not be the reason for opposing. Or am I wrong? --Maksim Sokolov (talk). 19:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • For what it's worth, I don't think you are wrong. In recent years, technical quality has regretfully moved to the front seat of how photos are evaluated at FPC. This is because it is easy to spot and have an opinion about even for people who are not well acquainted with photographical composition, photo-historical aspects or how iconic photos normally are viewed. This not the first time (not by far!) we see comments like this about a photo that is viewed as a photographic treasure by the rest of the world. Some other iconic pictures that have been rejected are Guerrillero Heroico (I tried that one...) and Hair Like Mine. FPC is a little world unto itself where National Geographic is hailed as something to strive for and capturing elusive moments in time is less relevant. The Apollo photos became FPs years before the pixel-peeping obsession set in here. It may also have to do with the age of voters, people who took photos before the digital revolution are more used to seeing photos with film grain, and know how photos looked when you had a "fast" film (high ISO) in your camera to be able to shoot under difficult conditions. Voters compare with Ansel Adams large format stills and think you could expect the same quality from handheld camera in the middle of a battle. --Cart (talk) 23:01, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you Cart. This clarifies the situation surrounding the FP selection. I totally concur with you. While I am not a professional photographer by any means, I understand that a photograph is not only a technical feat. Most importantly it is art, and as such all rules may be broken for the sake of transferring the message or capturing a unique moment. In many cases, an image may be the best the photographer could do, being limited by circumstances. But it very hard to judge such pictures. It is easy (given equipment and controlled environment), however, to make highly technical pictures, well done in symmetry, sharpness, etc. It is also easy to judge such pictures due to very clear criteria (sharpness, crop, resolution, etc). That's also the feature of wiki approach: open market defines the prices, so to say. At times, masterpieces are sold for pennies --Maksim Sokolov (talk). 23:39, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support For an iconic photo like this, the discussion we should be having is which version we should promote. The educational value, importance, and wow are all build-in sufficient to cover any technical shortcomings. I'm also kind of aghast at the examples Cart mentions above. Sigh... — Rhododendrites talk |  13:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • 🧠 Opinion A soldier raising his gun like a killer is not necessarily a hero in the consciousness of everybody, whatever the camp, whatever the story.
The message contained in this picture is far from serene 🌼.
Celebrating this kind of virtue (sacrifice, courage, patriotism, or else) is always questionable in 2021, regardless of the photographic technique, regardless of the politics too.
Judgement at FPC usually follows from freedom to think, not from mutton behavior 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑. Wow factors are personal and seldom negotiable within the contributors. Most of us are just lucid enough to evaluate subjective emotions in parallel with the technical requirements, and in relation with the historical context too.
What quality are we expecting in 1942: Something better than 1941, I guess, with less noise and less vignetting.
It happens so often, flaws get forgiven at FPC. But submit a sort of kamikaze, controversial candidature, moreover weakened by explicit issues, that's no surprise a few "dissidents" splash the voting batch. Greetings -- Basile Morin (talk) 16:04, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't disagree with you that there are moral/ethical considerations. My support certainly doesn't mean that I regard this person as a hero, but that the historical significance of this picture gives it importance and educational value that compensates for some shortcomings. That by all accounts I've read it was an authentic moment in the heat of battle rather than a training exercise or photo op further makes me inclined to forgive its flaws. I wouldn't begrudge anyone for not wanting to feature an image that glorifies wartime violence, though, or to hold such images to a higher standard (or not to lower one's standards for it). — Rhododendrites talk |  16:25, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is called the "wow" factor comes not from the fact that this soldier is holding a gun and not from any ideology transferred by the picture. I put aside politics and ideology, since this is not the place for the discussion of those. For me, this wow factor is that the image was taken in the conditions of the battle, where the photographer was risking his life to take the picture. The photographer did not have (like many of us) much opportunity to compose the shot, to verify all settings, to put the camera on a tripod. Most probably he had to cover himself from bullets while taking the shot. Probably the decision to take the photograph was made very quickly. And still he made the image sharp and very well composed, showing the moment of the action. All without EVF and other technology we have today. That's what is special about this picture for me. It is easy to take an image of a wall of windows and get featured, as was the case with my own pictures. Just take the camera, put on the tripod, make the settings, take your time and take the picture. If necessary, return and take it again. The wall is not going away. Anyone can do that, given equipment. Some moments are impossible to repeat and the job of a serious photographer is to document those moments. Also, not all messages transferred by a photograph must be positive. Not all pictures must be flowers and animals in their natural habitat. Sometimes, ugly sides of reality (war, disease, abuse, etc.) must be preserved for history for us to be able to discuss and learn from them. My opinion is based purely on the discussion of the skill of the photographer in an extreme situation. --Maksim Sokolov (talk). 16:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The quality is very bad, even in the conditions. Moreover, this guy is not an example, not a model for civilized people in 2021. He's holding a weapon like a champion would raise the Olympic flame -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Basile Morin: The officer defended his motherland from fascism. He was the commander motivating his soldiers. He lost his life doing so. What must a civilized person do in 2021, if someone comes to his/her home to murder his/her family? Show a flower to the killers? I bet you would use any weapon you had at your disposal and you would forget about flowers that moment. It is easy to speak about taking quality pictures during battles and about being civilized sitting in one's kitchen when no-one is coming to invade you. Would you stop this with kind language and pleas to those who do this? I would like to abstain from such discussions however. I am here for the discussion of photography. --Maksim Sokolov (talk). 01:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • This change from "Wikimedia Commons" to "FPC" simply means that I will not be a part of FP community discussions in any way. I cannot except the treatment I have received here, where my messages are misinterpreted and I am falsely accused of civility violations. However, I will continue posting my images to Commons, since I will not engage in such discussions in that process. But enough clarifications. I always find myself to have to clarify since everything here is documented and I don't want my intentions and messages to remain misinterpreted by anybody. I hope this is all. I also hope that someone in this community will be able to investigate all this because such environment is dangerous for the project and for future participants --Maksim Sokolov (talk). 04:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Basile Morin: You can't compare a 1941 photo taken at an exhibition dance under calm circumstances with a 1942 photo taken under extreme conditions. If I was down in a trench to take photos during WW2, I too would load very "fast" film (=grainy) in my camera to be ready for any eventuality. Do you have any experience with photographing with film?
When it comes to the subject: Let's pretend we are making the world's best possible encyclopedia. It would look very strange if it contained only pretty, non-violent photos. Words like "killer" or "hero" are not compatible with the WP neutral point of view and should not be used when discussing images here. --Cart (talk) 16:36, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Some neutral info When you shoot with film, you can't change what we now call 'ISO' between shots. It's the film that decides how fast a shutter you can use under low light. So you are stuck with the same 'ISO' for 36 frames (normally). "Fast film" for low light will actually be just as grainy if shot in 1941 as in a photo made in 1996. These days photographers can use two camera bodies with two different lenses at an event, back in the film days, the two (or three) cameras would contain films of different speed. The trick for any photo journalist then, was to guess what the light conditions might be so they could load the camera with the right film. Knowing you might be in a trench with lots of fast action and only one camera, the best bet would be to use a fast, albeit grainy film. --Cart (talk) 17:59, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I take strong exception to stating that a photo of someone defending their country against genocidal invaders might be opposed on moral grounds. The Nazis murdered hundreds of thousands of Jews in Ukraine during their short occupation, yet somehow, a photo of someone trying to fight them off is some kind of moral hazard. This isn't about the murderousness of Stalin or the actions of fighters of wars of aggression. I take this personally. By the way, one of my great uncles managed to escape across Soviet lines when my paternal grandfather's ancestral town of Bodzanow, Poland, was occupied by the Nazis, but he wasn't able to take his wife and children. Every one of them was murdered by the Nazis, and he fought in the Soviet Red Army during the war, though he was a democratic socialist and not a Communist. If you want to insult him for fighting in the Red Army and trying to kill Nazis in self-defense or claim that he should have been a pacifist and also gotten murdered by the Nazis, I have nothing printable to say to you. One of my uncles was also a war casualty, who was shot down on a bombing run over Bavaria with the U.S. Army Air Corps, survived the fall and was pitchforked to death by Bavarian peasants. And I have absolutely zero compunctions about the work he did. World War II was the only war the U.S. ever fought that was unambiguously in self-defense, and pacifists were great for the Nazis because they were that much easier to line up and shoot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you have a problem with the army of a country defending itself against genocidal invaders who did their best to utterly wipe out my people and were responsible for tens of millions of Soviet deaths, yes, I do take that personally. I wasn't thinking of that when I voted for the photo, only after you posted your IMO highly inappropriate remarks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:30, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • COM:NPOV. Now please stop talking about "your people" and taking this nomination personally. If you believe the promotion / failure of this nomination is in relation with your family members, you're just completely off the mark. Greetings -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh sure, who cares if the USSR had stopped fighting and I was never born because every Jew was wiped out! I should just be "objective" about that, right? Like hell! But do please note that I supported the photo based on Maksim Sokolov's explanation of the circumstances of when it was shot and the fact that it's an iconic Soviet war photo. You can easily see that I supported the nomination on April 8 and you made your remark on April 9.

Original FP Replacement

  •  Comment If you want the new photo as an FP instead you have to write {{delist and replace}}, otherwise there is no point in including the new version in this nominatrion. --Cart (talk) 10:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist and replace Far better, and rightly replaced, already on en:Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/James Irwin salute. The previous version is downsized and too contrasted -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:38, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'm a little hesitant of promoting a version that is so far from the original historical photo. Uploading higher resolution and restoration is one thing, doing a radical enhancing and upgrading is another. --Cart (talk) 10:47, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment What do you consider "the original", Cart? I guess none of us has seen the original color slide, so we can only guess which version is closer to it. Do we know what film stock was used? Compared to the very milky scan from the apollo archive project, the new restoration derived from it looks more reasonable to me, but I think I'd actually expect even deeper shadows from a color reversal slide. I think the current FP (likely derived from a different scan), on the opther hand, is probably going a bit too far in terms of contrast enhancement. It seems to have more detail in the moon surface, but that comes at a price: Details on the space suit that are clearly visible in the other two versions got lost in the shadows; color got lost. The ideal version would probably be a compromise between the two candidates. --El Grafo (talk) 12:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think we here will ever be able to tell just how the "real" original looked, we can only use the copies released by NASA as "our originals". On previous noms of historical photos some have failed because people couldn't agree what the original was. Best we can do here is to make any restoration be plausible. Always difficult to say exactly when a restoration goes overboard. Brightening too much of the shadows here has taken away that special very harsh light that are on most moon shots and other space photos. There is a clear lack of good reflector screens on the moon. Adding the Topaz AI (which turns everything to plastic) to it and you get something that looks more like a Lego setup in a sandbox than an historical photo from the moon. --Cart (talk) 12:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cart, that it pretty much exactly what I had in mind! Shadows are harsh and deep as you would expect under those conditions. But the half shadows on the suit still have all the detail the film originally picked up and the colors on the flag have the punch you would expect from slide film. I think this is pretty much the version we should consider as an alternative. --El Grafo (talk) 08:38, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per Cart and Ikan - I have little doubt that the new version is probably more faithful to the original negatives, but this is one of those photos that gains historical value from the format in which it was released. The current FP, with the higher contrast and deeper blacks, is probably less accurate, but it's the iconic way this photo looks. Cmao20 (talk) 14:50, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmao20: As far as I know these were all shot on special order Kodak slide film, so no negatives involved. We are probably just looking at two different scans of the same original – both published by NASA. Depending on what hard- and software was used, those can look dramatically different. For negative film (especially black and white) I would agree: the printing process in the darkroom is an essential part of forming the final image, where things like contrast, shadows, highlights could be adjusted (like developing a RAW today). But here, the original is a slide, not a print. So yes, I think we should aim for the digital version that is likely to represent the slide best and I think in this case, that is probably Cart's version above. --El Grafo (talk) 09:06, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also worth considering: do we even know if this scan represents prints that were distributed at the time well? Are there any digital versions of those prints? --El Grafo (talk) 09:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Cart, it is a bit unclear to me about the history of this replacement file. The original upload seems to suggest it is an original upload of the file from Flickr (== File:AS15-88-11866 (21648389932).jpg). But it already seems edited (by you I guess) in Lightroom, and the further two edits straighten and crop it. Given we can't now fix the upload comment, could you perhaps give more detail in the file description summary as to the editing, just to clarify that the first version is already edited. -- Colin (talk) 18:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yep, can do Colin. I usually only refer to the original file in the 'Source' entry when I edit a file and upload as a separate file. That is one of the ways of stating where you start with the file. In this case, I found it to be the best way since it allows for people to take a look at exactly what edits I've done via Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer.

Spherical panoramic at Türlersee
 Comment ✓ Done Thanks for the feedback, I've uploaded a 70% version of this file, and also added some more EXIF data to the image (they usually get lost in the stitching process, but I added some fields back manually). --Domob (talk) 12:01, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks for the feedback! I will take a look at the tilt, which should obviously be easy to fix. I'm aware of the stitching error, but there is not much I can do about it unfortunately; I already tried many different configurations for stitching, and this is the best I was able to produce. IMHO the error is quite subtle and does not disturb the viewer too much. --Domob (talk) 04:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I see what you mean. When looking at the picture directly (not with a viewer as real spherical panoramic), then it would indeed be nicer to have the dock extend on the right as well and be more symmetrical. But I think the main focus here should be on viewing the panoramic as an "immersive" sphere, in which case the dock is fine at least for my taste. --Domob (talk) 15:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Totally agree with Andrei here. Also, such small details are what historians always look for in old photographs of buildings. They are time-markers and says a lot about the city at the time the photo was taken. I think our FPs should be a repository for the future as well as for current WP articles. --Cart (talk) 10:05, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • You made the right connection. :-) I always think this part of the forest looks like something from an evil fairytale or even Game of Thrones. As I often do, I wanted to try something we don't have at FP yet. We have tons of beautiful and pretty trees but wicked-looking ones are rare.

Sulfur
  • I don't find this question off-topic since other users have also commented on your green backgrounds. I checked the background in this photo with the color sampler in Photoshop before I posted the question, since I wanted to make sure I didn't say something that wasn't true. It is not a neutral grey, but has a tint of green turquoise in it around the color #7f8b89. Anyone can check this. I just wanted to ask. --Cart (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Background color on this photo has not been altered during postprocessing. This is the result with my light sources. It's grey enough for me and imo has a good contrast with sulfur's yellow crystals. --Ivar (talk) 19:14, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, so it's a style choice, no problem. But in this case, since it is the light source, the tint will affect the sulfur as well as the background and thereby not giving it the perfect color. I think it's important for photos that are used as lead pictures in articles (and you have added it to 114 WPs), to have as correct color as possible of the sample. Most photographers will calibrate the camera to the color of the light source in a studio shot, or you can do it in post. --Cart (talk) 19:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info thank you Janke for the effort, it took a bit more time for me to rework it from raw. I hope I learned something today (lyrics from one estonian song: human is learning the entire lifetime, but dies anyway as a fool...) --Ivar (talk) 19:09, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

George Floyd protest in Brooklyn in June 2020

  •  Comment Correct me if one has already been featured, but I think a relatively new photo of a demonstration or similar event will never be featured on this site.

  •  Support At first I was skeptical, but I know Ryan wouldn't have nominated this for FP without a reason. And the more I think about, well, it may not be an iconic photo of last summer's protests, at least not yet, but to me it does a great job capturing the moment for the future. We can see that it was a nice late spring day out, that it was during the pandemic, that the protesters were not blocking traffic, that their message was generally positive, and we got the unintended irony of the center of attention being on two young white people while the only black person easily identifiable as such has her back to the camera. And the traffic light makes a nice dividing line in the picture. Protest photos usually aren't going to be natural places for a photographer to show off their compositional skills, and I've seen (and maybe even taken) many a lot worse than this.

  • Commonists, I would absolutely encourage you to try a couple of your photos that you think are the very best you can offer. Selection by the photographer is part of the FPC process. That is how the rest of us do here. You have nothing to lose by doing it and should it fail, you will no doubt learn something from the comments. We have all learned important things about photography this (sometimes painful) way. I look forward to your first nomination. As I wrote in another post, we need new contributors with fresh ideas and new perspective. --Cart (talk) 13:35, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Wrt green and black/white cubes, I'm just curious. How do they work or are they associated with a certain game? The cube choice/arrangement is really a secondary thing, just something that didn't help raise things imo. The thing that kills it for me is the double reflection. "Drunk dice" might be a suitable title? :-). It probably wasn't as noticeable on the related FPs with bolts. XRay, if you enjoy making these kind of images, I do encourage you to Google "double reflection in photography" and try one of the many ways to avoid it. -- Colin (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The green die with the black lines and the black and white die are very similar. They are booth normal 6-sided dice - D6. You can the black and white segments at the black and white die. The distance of the line to the edge (or the size of the segments) are different. So you have 6 different sides at each die. But one thing: I can't explain which side is which number. The dice were only borrowed. (If you are interested. Mathematical more interesting dice are intransitive dice. The article is more theoretically, but you can find intransitive dice at special shops.) --XRay 💬 15:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or you can do the IKEA-hack I use for jewelry. They have these hardened glass tops painted black or white on one side called BESTÅ. They are huge, sturdy and cost next to nothing compared to the stuff you buy in a photo store. So far I haven't noticed any double reflections, maybe I'm doing it "wrong" in some way. :-) I guess you can take any glass plate and paint it black on one side to get the same effect. --Cart (talk) 15:45, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The lot of blue ones are a little bit smaller, but there are a white and blue one and a blue and a yellow one. These one has the same size. --XRay 💬 13:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Northern mockingbird on a fence post in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
  • Every once in a while I'll try to get a video when they're singing, then I watch/listen to it when I go home and remember that trying to record high-quality bird songs in NYC without a good shotgun mic is a futile exercise... — Rhododendrites talk |  20:06, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even so, I think it's awesome that you are able to get so many good bird photos in your own town. I just have to give you some praise for that. It goes to show that if you have a good eye for photography, you don't need to go around the world with expensive gear to get great shots. Well done! --Cart (talk) 20:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re gear, yep, you and me both. Not saying you shouldn't get it (and travel), you deserve it, just saying you're doing great in this situation. :-) And you do have a lot more interesting birds than we have here. --Cart (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very impressive shots. And we all want better gear, but it's too expensive and too heavy! Your camera body is better than my 'enthusiast' crop-sensor Canon, but I do have a longer 400mm lens. I hope to go mirrorless soon. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:39, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's true I'm not in the "woe is me" category of gear any more. :) A longer lens would be nice, but that one I linked is unrealistic to the point of not even thinking about it. It's the body I'd prefer to upgrade at this point. I'm feeling that 16 MP limit. Though I won't be upgrading anytime soon, I don't think. While the MFT format is nice, even the top-of-the-line cameras are capped at 20 MP (and they're just not as good in low light situations as a full frame). With Olympus dropping out of the MFT game there's a lot up in the air with the format (they sold their camera business to JIP, which says it's going to focus on high-end MFT only, but it's still pretty abstract). — Rhododendrites talk |  14:26, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the tip. So far upstate, though. :) #newyorkjokes. I might actually get a shotgun mic to deal with it. I'll have to see about how it'll work with my camera, but there are enough situations where I'd really like to record a song (or just not record traffic/people)... — Rhododendrites talk |  20:49, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But besides, the subjects aren't sharp enough in the first place, the light is dull, and there's just nothing I find outstanding about this photo, even if your stitching were now seamless, which it isn't. I don't mean to be depressingly negative; it's just that this is FPC, so we have to look for the best of the best. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:08, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cows snoozing in Heden, Lysekil
  •  Support Froim my experience, herding cattle is worse than cats. Getting four cows of the the same breed (Ayrshire or Ayrshire mix?) to line up with such symmetry is visually striking. --GRDN711 (talk) 03:21, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I hope people understand that I was joking about arranging the cows, that is impossible. Now clarified. Symmetry in the cow-world is accidental, so when you see something like this, you take the shot whatever the background. --Cart (talk) 08:42, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Well composed. Cmao20 (talk) 16:34, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think I sometimes understand form differently from you, for whatever that's worth. I readily accept that the fortuitous arrangement of cows is interesting, but I'm not finding enough in the rest of the picture frame for me to satisfy my eyes in moving around it. There are situations in which I support photos that don't have linear arabesques that captivate me. In some cases, a photo is simply so striking at the image level that I feel like it deserves a feature. There are also times when a photo of an animal or object is so impressive that I don't think a great composition is necessary because it's so impressive on the level of documentation and encyclopedic/educational value. Having said that, I'm really unsure whether writing at this great a length was very useful, though I gave it a try. I will say that I looked at this photo several times before coming to this decision. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:38, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks Ikan for taking the time to explain. When someone turns something down, it's always better to know why, than to get just a brief shrug. Trying this photo was in line with a previous thread here about featuring unique and unusual moments in time, photos that can't be recreated vs. static photos that can be created thousands of times. FP should be big enough to include both (plus a number of other kinds of photography genres). --Cart (talk) 07:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A pile of turtles basking on a rock in Prospect Park Lake (red-eared slider, yellow-bellied slider, river cooter)
I actually thought it was out of some desire to highlight conservation efforts ... and per the article (and I would daresay my own experience) snapping turtles are actually not very aggressive animals; they will make use of their snapping capability largely only to defend themselves. I think some other states have designated the snapper one of their state animals as well.

I mean, look at some of our other state animals. Nobody would think of a bluebird as some sort of aggressive beast. Or a brook trout. Daniel Case (talk) 03:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bubiòn viewed from Plaza Vieja in Capileira
  • It is dark for sure but in my opinion it is not too dark. There is plenty of detail still visible in the shadows, and had the exposure stop been any higher you would have risked blowing out those wonderful wispy clouds which are in my view part of what makes the photo special.

Paper aircraft
  • I've been thinking for a long time about which picture I think is better. To be honest, I was very hesitant, but then decided on the nominated variant. --XRay 💬 09:36, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Buidhe. I think that version is much better to look at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I would also support the other version, but the paper wings in this one seems less wrinkled. There's also a minimalist aspect I appreciate in this fully white version, it is like a game of shadows: the subject is distinguishable just because of its outlines and that's more artistic in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:24, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I chose the plane based on its appearance - regardless of its flight characteristics. It should also be foldable as little as possible. (And also a picture before (!) the first flight. ;-) ) --XRay 💬 11:47, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Buidhe, would support the other version. --Ivar (talk) 12:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I have absolutely no idea why one would support the other version at FP level. By all means support that one for a VI of a paper aeroplane if that is the only purpose of the photo. But that one is just a photo of a paper aeroplane on some cream coloured card. The creases and imperfections are all too obvious. Whereas this BW version concentrates the eye on the shades and makes the mind work harder to see the shape. The contrast between the hard paper edge and the soft shadow edge is solely due to changes in grey and no coloured background adds complexity to that here. I like that the far tip is nearly indistinguishable from the background. Indeed having features of one object merge into obscurity with another (white for high key, black for low key) is a feature of high/low key photography. This should be featured as a high-key photo of a paper sculpture and I think it is a good example of that. Anyone can take a documentary photo of a paper aeroplane. -- Colin (talk) 14:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • +1 This is photographic art, the other is not. --Cart (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The FPC instructions state:

    Value – our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that: almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing, and most such pictures are not in essence different from others, night-shots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime, beautiful does not always mean valuable.

  •  Comment First, that's not my interpretation at all. The point is, in huge categories (sunsets) in which most photos are beautiful, we look for unusually special or useful photos. In this case, the photo that's more unusual is the high-key version that's nominated. I oppose it and support the other one because the contrast makes for a better composition to my eyes and mind, but your own argument works against you. This isn't a VIC nomination of the most valuable paper airplane photo on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:36, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Isn't it valuable for a high-key photograph? --XRay 💬 07:13, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Buidhe, using the word "encyclopedic" on Commons FP is a bit like swearing. This is an educational media repository, not just a source of images to illustrate encyclopaedia articles. The difference is felt to be important by many here. This image is "in some way special" whereas a standard photo of a paper aeroplane is a bit mundane, albeit technically fine. IMO a more encyclopedic photo would either include some small person's hands folding the sheets over or include a hand holding the plane for take-off. That would represent the personally-made and then played-with aspect of the plane which sets it apart from many toys. Most photographers here are capable of sitting an object on a piece of paper and taking a photo of it with an expensive camera. At FP, I hope we are selecting only the "finest", and something "in some way special". -- Colin (talk) 07:54, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Colin about this gambling den called FPC. But I also think XRay has a point since the rules say that an 'oppose' should be accompanied by a real explanation, and that should be more than a few words or an empty phrase. (See COM:FPC#Voting) Worst of all are the "nothing of interest" or "per others" that are being spread by a clan of habitual opposers. They are used as get-out-of-jail-free-cards instead of putting some time or effort into the vote/review, proxies for the prohibited phrase "I don't like it". I know I can't change this, just needed to vent --Cart (talk) 19:22, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There were 202 "per" last month (archives), given by 33 different revievers (oppose votes): Karelj, Ikan Kekek, Cmao20, Daniel Case, Kruusamägi, Kallerna, Milseburg, Basile Morin, Aristeas, Rhododendrites, A.Savin, Ivar, Ermell, Commonists, Trougnouf, Peulle, RolfHill, Gnosis, Uoaei1, Colin, Draceane, IamMM, Cayambe, Fischer.H, El Grafo, SM:!), Basotxerri, Seven Pandas, StellarHalo, Michielverbeek, Buidhe, Vulphere, Llez -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:28, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't generally mind "per" if someone has already actually articulated what you would like to say. The interesting phenomenon is how the existence of an oppose seems to make others more likely to oppose (many don't want to be the first to oppose). I've never particularly liked "nothing of interest." I chalk it up to translation of "wow," which is a completely subjective measure which we do nonetheless require consideration of. Still, "nothing of interest" (or "nothing special") reframes "it does not wow me" as though the image is inherently unimpressive. Meh. — Rhododendrites talk |  03:05, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the comment by Cart was more aimed at those who regularly vote "per" rather than articulate their reasons, vs those who may occasionally vote "per" because someone else has already said all they want to say. Yes, Rhododendrites, there is a herd mentality where unbroken support encourages further support, and I'd say a good percentage of reviewers never "first oppose" vote. The FPC system only functions because of those who are strong enough to make the first oppose. Without them, it is just a popularity contest. The subsequent "per" votes are somewhat freeriding on the bravery of the original opposer, and whose second-hand opinion is less likely to be challenged. -- Colin (talk) 09:01, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Colin got my intention right. Basile is as usual raking through the mud of the past to find things to hurl back at me instead of adding input to the discussion. It is the lemming mentality or hiding behind "template phrases" that is so frustrating. It does not advance the project with greater understanding about photos and images if we don't articulate our thoughts about them. I don't think anyone can accuse me of not speaking my mind, and doing so often. In fact, I have sometimes gone with the "per" voting to not always stand out. (I'm human, so sue me.) On the whole, I wish more people would follow the intention of the FPC rules to learn from 'opposes' rather than to just be downcast by them, or learn bad habits. --Cart (talk) 11:49, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • For goodness sake, Basile, I'm not attacking you in any way. "raking through the mud of the past" is an expression, meaning that you go searching for old stuff like you did in your previous post. The "lemming mentality etc" is not directed at you, you are certainly not a lemming, but the general behavior of FPC voters we were discussing. Colin calls it "herd mentality", same thing, I just didn't want to repeat his phrase. --Cart (talk) 14:17, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't understand why the frames may be copyrighted, nothing special on it Ezarateesteban 20:14, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Frames are 3-dimensional and therefore not covered by COM:PD-Art. See the section "When should the PD-Art tag not be used?" Buidhe (talk) 06:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I disagree that it's too small. Of course we have had much larger, but I am willing to accept this. With the frame excluded it's ~7.2megapixels of content, which is OK for me. Cmao20 (talk) 20:01, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The reason I think it's probably too small for FP is that we've had so many nominations of photos of framed paintings at humongous resolutions. I think it's very fair to compare the quality of photos in the same category when considering FPC nominations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to disagree, but that's OK. I did take the size of the painting into account, of course. It's on the larger side, not huge, but certainly not small. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Café No.123 on Frederiksberg, Denmark
You're right W.carter but it isn't an example Ezarateesteban 17:04, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to agree, but I'd love to hear out what makes it great to you and consider it, Cart. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:31, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok Ikan, adding to my initial comment on this nom, here goes. I'm always attracted to photos with special light, light setting the mood in a photo. Many of the street photos we see here are a cacophony of light and colors from shops and signs, this is the opposite. I love this simple little solitary café glowing warm in an otherwise cold and dark setting with no other shops. The shop across the street has folded and has a "Til Leje" (to let) sign in the window. It's like a magical portal to another better time/world on an otherwise normal dreary November evening. Perhaps [my description is] more mood/poetry/artsy-fartsy than FPC can stand, but anyway. --Cart (talk) 08:13, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I will consider this and look again tomorrow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:03, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Question If it's "artsy-fartsy", why changing the composition of the author/"artist"? There was a section with blue sky at blue hour on the original that has totally disappeared. Such a modification alters the "mood" IMO because blue sky is like a window in a photo, and this window says a lot about the ambiance -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:25, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't looked at the history. I prefer the uncropped version, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:30, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry, communication error, now clarified. I meant that my comment was "mood/poetry/artsy-fartsy", not the photo itself, I was writing too fast. The photo is more straightforward. The reason I cropped it in editing is that the original seemed a tad unbalanced to me with two major brighter areas competing for the viewers attention. The editing is why it's a separate file and nt just an overwrite. The original is also displayed in the file's description box for comparison. --Cart (talk) 06:52, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral In my opinion, it is a challenge to stage common events and to take good photos. It takes time and creativity. But some creative implementation may be out of the way here at FP and is therefore quickly - too quickly - rated negative. The picture here is a good idea, but the lights of the cars (especially the brake light) and the cut off foreground bothers me. A moment later and a slightly different angle would have been better. --XRay 💬 06:44, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose What to focus on ? f/2 on coffee, in the middle, i thought its Carts F1000 ? Somehow try of Hoppers Nigthawks. --Mile (talk) 08:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Street photography in evening/night is usually grainy with low f-number and high ISO since it's mostly handheld and spontaneous. In this case, the large file size makes up for it. --Cart (talk) 09:14, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The red light of the neon sign "KAFFE" is OK, but not the red light of the car (distracting).
Looking at the portfolio of this photographer, the pictures really don't seem wonderful to me. Cut off feet all the time and distracting foregrounds, often. I understand this nomination wants to be innovative, showing "street photography" at FPC, but due to drawbacks mentioned above, there's nothing in this picture to make me think it's special in any way -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:25, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry Cart but I agree with the above, there's nothing exactly 'wrong' with it but it's just a bit dull. There are a lot of elements in the composition that don't add up to a harmonious whole, e.g. the cut-off flowerpots in the foreground. Cmao20 (talk) 07:01, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Okay then, lets put this one to rest. Thanks for the comments. --Cart (talk) 07:07, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Two slices of strawberry cheesecake with wine
  •  Comment I tweaked the categories and description for more specificity but left the filename alone. Let me know if it should also be made more specific, such as "Two slices of cheesecake and wine". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:27, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you are on the dessert, you have probably used your napkin during the first part of your meal. A piece of cloth (napkin, towel, etc) is a common component in modern food photography, usually placed to enhanced the curve of a plate. Here it is used to break the white on white of the plate/tablecloth and show off the corner of the plate and eliminate what would otherwise be just a white area, leaving the compo unbalanced. Anyone here is welcome to picture-Google "food photography" and see what it's all about. --Cart (talk) 08:23, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • A dirty towel to make the meal more appetizing? Not coherent with the little delicate flowers 🌸🐷 :-)
And why no space around? The cluttered composition doesn't breathe in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:49, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It is a beautiful dish and well presented, but the photo I think was taken lightly and with a very closed composition without enough space, cut utensil, black sweater and distracting background --Wilfredor (talk) 01:23, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'll give this maybe 24 hours to see if anyone else really likes this photo, but win or lose, I'd like people here to consider the implications of why it's so much harder to feature a plated food photo than a photo of a building facade or view of mountains. We've seen imperfect mountain view photos featured, and a photo that includes part of a building and water with an interesting composition that's too fuzzy for me to vote for is well on its way to a feature right now. It seems like plated food has to meet a much higher standard to be passed here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Tomer T (talk) 06:49, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Everything is so coquettishly arranged on the plate, with flowers and ice sugar, I wonder why a piece of cloth, unappetizing as possible, has been placed on this table 😳.
According to the archives, there have been 3 FP of food promoted since the beginning of this month, that's not too bad, and in any case much better than other categories like Astronomy (1), Historical (0), Natural phenomena (1), Other lifeforms (0), People (1) or Portrait (0), Fungi (0), Space exploration (0), Sports (0), etc.
There are not so many food pictures nominated at QIC either. But at FPC, the ratio of success / failure is much tighter (around 50%, all categories). Some of my candidatures passed here in the past, some others failed, and a few ones were promoted on Wikipedia English but revoked on Commons! :-) That's the challenge! Beautiful plate, but I agree with others: the crop is too tight (top and bottom), the left side cut, and the accidental sweater most embarrassing. Sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:14, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't call what we have been featuring here lately "food photography", they are simply sorted in the food category. They are focus stacked food components treated as specimens. I know that Basile has made some very good attempts (better than anyone else here of the FPC regulars) at more real food photography before, and I'd love to see that more developed. --Cart (talk) 09:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
File:Piece of chocolate cake on a white plate decorated with chocolate sauce.jpg was uploaded last week, and I would support it if nominated here. There are more available outside of Commons, that can be imported by anybody. But like many other users here, food photography is not my specialty. Still, I feel able to appreciate, or not. Next time, maybe -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:05, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nice find, thanks for uploading it. I have a vacant slot and I'l be happy to use it. --Cart (talk) 11:28, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Despite the mentioned shortcomings IMHO a good example of ‘casual’ food photography. I don’t like the black piece of cloth and the cropped cutlery, too, but maybe this is intentional, it gives the photo a ‘real live’ touch. When my parents did food photography for some customers (who wanted to sell their china, kitchenware and accessories, therefore we had to take appetizing photos), we sometimes faced the problem that the well-arranged table and dishes looked a little bit clean. Adding some random everyday accessory or placing the cutlery in a careless manner can help in that situation ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 08:32, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Should have shallow DOF. --Mile (talk) 09:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination There's no point in continuing this nomination, but I think Basile's remark about the rate at which "food photos" pass FPC deserves a reply. Unless I'm misreading things, there is a grand total of 3 FPs in the "Meals (food and drink)" category, and if you scroll up at that link, a grand total of 5 desserts ("sweet food"). If you scroll up further, you can see 3 composed plates of savory food (4 if you count "birds on stick") and one Big Mac hamburger that's not shown on a plate. By contrast, look at this page of doors, ceilings and other architectural elements, to give one illustrative example for the sake of contrast. That other categories are underrepresented is not a good thing or a good argument for the idea that photos of composed plates of food don't have a very, very hard time passing FPC. I'm not suggesting that the arguments against this nomination were invalid, but I do observe as a general case that there's a demonstrated bias against photos of composed food on this page, as compared to a number of other categories. Folks here prefer architecture and landscapes, and while I love them, too, I think it's a problem for things to be so lopsided in favor of x, y and z categories here and against a, b and c categories. I'll add that I will continue to nominate food photos that seem great to me, and it's OK with me if they're taken apart again, but I think we should look for great photos in underrepresented categories that might pass here. Thanks for your comments; I do accept them all as sincere and clearly expressed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:26, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
