  • Comment: Maybe it doesn't come across well, But the photo (with the notes) tells a special story for me. I've never seen such a cool fracture of a blown tree after a storm. It looks like a work of art.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:45, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • You may think your picture is a piece of art, but compare with 1, 2, 3, 4, when the light and the composition are special. There's a huge difference in my view. Your background is distracting, and your subject seems very ordinary -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info All by -- Wilfredor (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support wow. At first sight, this looks like a boring version of "where's Waldo?" with not much going on at the individual level. It's only when you take a step back and re-adjust your perspective that it starts to shine. We've seen a few attempts to depict large-ish crowds here in the past (usually protests/demonstrations). Most of them filed miserably, usually because there was no composition to speak of. But this one ... it's almost like a landscape shot of a glacier meandering its way down a slope between two steep mountain peaks. Deserves more attention! --El Grafo (talk) 07:54, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm afraid I don't quite see the appeal in the same way you do; while chaotic and colourful are positives, the scene also feels a little too ordinary for me to think of it as an FP. I'm also a bit bothered by the cut-off head in the foreground. --Peulle (talk) 07:41, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per El Grafo. A river of humanity. It almost needs a cut-off head to underline the sense of crowding and movement. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose I totally agree with the supports that the crowd works. But I find the architecture at left distracting. An image like this can work but the crowd needs better framing. Daniel Case (talk) 01:56, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Sorry to be this rude unsophisticated prole, who ignores the deep social aspects of this great (honestly great) composition but to me as a simple mind, the colours just look oversaturated. I nonetheless like to review big groups of people like this. I recently watched a video on a site called xhamsters, also featuring a lot of different people, but the quality wasn't sufficient and a lot of them were acting quite similar.--Der Angemeldete (talk) 16:52, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question May I ask for constructive criticism? The format is the only way eplaining the subject. What better way to add the intended information content to it than with text in the image? This text necessarily obscures some image content. At the same time, how can it be offered to hide this text as well, other than with a label-free version? --Milseburg (talk) 14:41, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I am happy to support either one and agree that the format is well-suited for such a panorama, I just fear that Ivar is right about the (rather rigid) set rules. --Aristeas (talk) 18:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Ivar and Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 03:22, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Then the rules should be expanded as long as it is here not technically possible to present such topics in an instructive way in another way. The easiest way would be to superimpose both images and display them optional with or without captions. Of course, then the two set more closely together than images of two frogs of different sexes. Now I really don't know which of the panoramas I should run individually or why both separately. Meanwhile the annotated version was significantly expanded in cooperation with the main author of de:Frauenberg (Hessen). --Milseburg (talk) 16:53, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose :
1. The picture without annotations :
  • Extreme ratio panorama. Thin like a ruler, like this one or that one. My appreciation of landscapes is usually not compatible with such long formats, when the eyes are blocked vertically.
  • Number of pixels aside, the landscape itself is not really special in my view.
2. The picture with annotations :
  • Language: German chosen. That makes the document quite unsuitable for Wikipedia in English and all other languages. Example: the first word is "Gladenbacher Bergland", while in English we say Gladenbach Uplands. The second word "Rothaargebirge", in English is "Rothaar Mountains, in Spanish Montañas Rothaar, in Japanese ロタール山地, in Russian Ротхаргебирге, in Arabic روتهار (سلسلة جبال), etc.
  • Units: meters and kilometers chosen. Miles and feet missing for the people who live in a country using a different unit system.
  • Font and text layout do not respect professional standards. Contrasted outlines missing, arbitrary / irregular punctuation spaces (example "Grosser Ahlertsberg 645 m,33 km"), etc.
  • Inappropriate font size. There are several different sizes of text, of different colors, and the smallest text (like "Hangelstein 305 m, 15 km", "Dannenrod" or "Wahlen") will not display well, given the giant width of the picture. I think even a poster will be hard to read. -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:20, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you described the problems well but drew the wrong conclusions. I would like to link each label so that everyone reaches after a click the corresponding article in their own language. Can you technically realize this? Until then, the text is related to Germany because the vantage point is only described in detail in the German Wikipedia and is also located in Germany. Vertical limits? Be glad that there is no horizontal limit. A panorama board on site or virtually would have the same format. Rather, I considered a crop with an even more extreme aspect ratio. The geographically interesting content is all in the middle and not above or below, or even outside of the picture. One user on de:Diskussion:Frauenberg (Hessen)#Neues Panorama already complained that the volume was too large. A 360*180 panorama would be the wrong answer, but an even narrower section. The writing is different because it adapts to what is being described. Milseburg (talk) 10:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  1.  Disagree If this panorama was printed on a 1-meter large poster, then the word "Hasenkopf" (for example) would measure only 2.3 millimeters large!😮 Totally unreadable without magnifying glass. You can verify the image is 42.483 pixels large, and the word "Hasenkopf" covers 97 pixels only. Many other names like this one would be simply not legible. Sorry but that's a major typographic error that no professional would ever make in such a layout.
  2. Comparing the previous versions to the current one in the history, it appears that there were several (fixed) errors in the captions. Although German is not my mother tongue, it seems that these mistakes have also been pointed out by other users on the Wikipedia talk page. Here at FPC, we are photographers or image reviewers, but not specialists of this geography. How could we guarantee the text is accurate? This is not a picture coming from any professional administration -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's right, a 1 m printout of the panorama would be just as nonsensical as viewing the entire panorama in a strip adapted to the screen size. In order to set it up on site as a panorama board, it would be printed larger. It is correct that when attaching the label I took advice from the main author of the article de:Frauenberg (Hessen), who is familiar with the area, so that everything is correct and the educational benefit is high. I'm a bit disappointed that I have to fight a lot harder to get this effort recognized than in my previous FP candidatures, which are just beautiful images. I can also make it easy on myself and outsource the labeling like File:Panorama vom Schomberg.jpg or File:Panorama vom Schindlenbühl.jpg. For commons but poorer. Yes, I'm not a professional and I don't earn my money with photos. I'm participating here as an amateur and I think that's okay. Milseburg (talk) 13:24, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "nonsensical" => you seem not understand that the problem is the ratio. A text measuring 2.3 millimeters compared to a 1-meter image is ridiculously and excessively small. If you print 10 meters your pano, the same word measuring 2.3 cm will appear similarly tiny in comparison. That's why it's absurd: the font sizes are inadequate. Graphic designer is a profession that requires skills and sensibility to manage these aspects -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:18, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Anyone who sees a problem in the ratio has not understood this kind of photos. these panoramas are never meant to be viewed in their entirety. But you scroll from left to right and back. Just as you let your gaze wander in the landscape. In the full resolution, the caption can also be read well. What is the point of having a "normal" aspect ratio and then seeing billions of pixels of sky in return??? And the encyclopedic value is exactly the lettering for me.
  • I understand Milseburg's disappointment very well, because I made such panoramas myself and faced the same problems. On the one hand, you want to present a high resolution so that a lot can be seen. How can you reasonably include a font, which you can then hide again? Without lettering such panoramas are worthless. A caption in a language other than German is secondary, since the image is probably only used in the German wikipedia. Je-str (talk) 18:45, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This kind of very wide panoramas has a long tradition; just as they formed a special genre in the fine arts (mostly drawings and engravings, sometimes paintings), they form also a special genre of photography which has its own rules and merits. We cannot judge such a panorama using the composition rules from usual landscape photography; these are two related, but different things. Therefore IHMO it is not a good idea to reject panorama landscape photos because they do not offer a satisfying landscape composition. They just have their own kind of composition which is a bit more technical (if I may say so). Most other technical aspects of landscape photography apply also to such panoramas, e.g. sharpness, exposure, etc.; but regarding the overall balance of light and shadow one has to judge wide panoramas understandingly because in most cases it is probably unavoidable that large areas of such panoramas are in shadow. --Aristeas (talk) 19:11, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info This is not an interactive map like Google Map you can zoom in and then reveal details that were not shown at another scale. And this is not a map where you should put everything inside until pointing the doghouse of the village pharmacist :-) There's a prior work of selection that is necessary, in my opinion. Scale is important. One is writing "these panoramas are never meant to be viewed in their entirety" and the other "In order to set it up on site as a panorama board, it would be printed larger". Who knows?! Now it's too heavy, too busy, and overloaded with text of different font sizes. Compare with other compositions of the same kind, that at least respect a minimum size of text, that is decent for the viewer. I don't see the point of being lost, immersed in a panorama of this dimension, without any visual reference to the whole. For us, reviewers, it is also impossible to spot the spelling error of "Alberg", for example, that is in fact "Allberg". Or "Weimar (Lahn)" -> "Niederweima". But everyone can spot photographic issues on a picture without text. Not the same deal. Certainly there are norms and conventions for annotated panoramas, that would be fair to follow. That's currently a big mass of data extremely hard to use, I'm afraid. As if you were navigating in the universe, discovering a planet called "Omega", but where is Omega exactly, how far, how big? No idea. Because if you zoom out, then you lose the subject, written too small. And even the location is all green -- Basile Morin (talk) 21:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Tilt and perspective can be corrected, of course. Here is a version in which tilt and perspective have been improved. I have also reduced colour noise and chromatic aberrations. The question is whether we should also try to improve brightness and gradation (curves); I have done it a bit. I have not applied additional sharpening or reduced the overall noise level, of course. @Ermell: Would that version be better in your eyes? @Носков А. С.: If you like this version, I can upload it for you. Or, if you do not like that the photo is a bit brighter now etc., I can also undo that and correct the tilt and perspective only. --Aristeas (talk) 14:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I like the subject and the lighting but why is the cross over the tower on the right kind of faded away? the same applies to the top of the tree on the right. Furthermore it looks a bit overprocessed to me, the roofs for example look unrealistic Poco a poco (talk) 19:03, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
* Yup, I agree. The false detail on the roofs and walls, plus the sharpening mask inaccuracies are usually telltale signs of an AI algorithm going overboard. Could that be the case, Palauenc05? No EXIF to double-check, but I would venture to say that Topaz is the culprit :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 07:43, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 New version! Thanks for all your comments and hints. I've upladed a new version from the raw file and applied just small corrections. Some aspects should be explained:
- These walls are not straight at all, esp. if you look at the chimney in the middle or at the kink in the lower part of the wall of the main tower.
- @ Poco I didn't touch the roofs at all, they just look like that. I suppose, the appearance comes from centuries of weathering and the growth of fungi and mosses.
- @ Daniel The shot was taken on an October late afternoon.
- Thank you all for looking again. --Palauenc05 (talk) 11:07, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Buildings in Grand-Place, Brussels, Belgium
  • @Ermell, Basile Morin, and Iifar: I've reworked the image from scratch, it looks IMHO indeed better now. It doesn't feel "squashed" and there is more margin on both sides. Ivar: the 3 buildings on the laft are on a plane, but between the third (building nr. 10 here) and the fourth (building nr. 9) there is an angle, therefore you cannot expect horizontal to be horizontal from the POV of the camera.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

All by Shagil Kannur -- Shagil Kannur (talk) 04:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You mean bottom crop? In this dance form, the dancer sits on a stool while performing. Thus the bottom part is unimportant. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 09:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but the fact that the bottom crop is poor doesn't suddenly vanish because the stool is unimportant. The image loses meaning due to stool's absence, IMO. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:11, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The stool can't be seen from the front when the performer sits on it. You can watch any video of this art to confirm this fact. Face expression and hand movements are the main attraction of this dance form. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 07:15, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That does not answer my query, but only further accentuates my point on why the location of the stool shouldn't be cropped.. SHB2000 (talk) 06:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This photo is taken from a great event Kerala School Kalolsavam 2023. How can you judge that it is not??? Kindly watch this category. And the background is not fabricated. It is a dark curtain. I felt very disappointed with your prejudice.--Shagil Kannur (talk) 10:16, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No prejudice - just a use of use of English misunderstanding. Fabric means material - in this case a curtain. Fabricated means something else. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:37, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Then the dark curtain is out of my control. It was a live performance. I just captured this image while performing. Your opinion on posed is prejudicial indeed.--Shagil Kannur (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Charlesjsharp is fabric backdrop a demerit for FP?-Shagil Kannur (talk) 14:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is for me - as are man-made backgrounds that some photographers use for their images of plants and animals. The black background looks unnatural to me - does that really reflect how the performance looked? It was OK to remove the microphone. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:51, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Usually traditional dance forms of Kerala like this (Kathakali, Koodiyaattam etc.) are being performed in the nights. Nowadays all these kind of dances are being performed on stages. So by providing dark backdrop will brings an outdoor night ambience to audience. Kindly watch any videos of such dances. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 18:21, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Poor grounds.-Shagil Kannur (talk) 11:56, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
100% valid grounds for an oppose. The expression of the dancer looks odd - perhaps because it is a school performance, not a professional one. Even if is the perfect expression for the dance, a voter doesn't have to like it. And there have already been criticisms of the cropped stool, the top crop and the black fabric background. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See this FP. Bottom cropped and have the same fabric backdrop. Fabric backdrops are common with stage performances. Hence these two issues may be ignored. --Shagil Kannur (talk) 07:23, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ArionEstar: Watermarked removed. Would you consider changing your vote? --A1Cafel (talk) 14:49, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The original image was licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license which explicitly allows everybody to remix (adapt) the work. So I guess it is permitted to create a variant without the watermark, as long as the other conditions of the license are met. Regarding the question whether FPC is a place for this sort of political statements, I would like to note that I have voted for this photo because it is a good, exemplary photo. I would probably also vote for a similar photo showing some Putin fan holding up a poster with Putinesque propaganda – given that it is a good, exemplary photo. Photography has to document what’s going on in the world, whether we like it or not. My 50 cent, --Aristeas (talk) 14:12, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment All photos uploaded with a Commons-compatible license can be reworked; it's one of the criteria to upload an image here. In some cases the watermark can be removed and the original overwritten, but in this and many cases, it is better to upload the image without watermark as a new file and link it in a way that makes it perfectly clear that the original had a watermark. As for this being a political image, we have several political FPs already (including Nazi propaganda). Most may be older, but like Aristeas said, political images of all sorts are documentations that belongs on Commons to be used on encyclopedias like Wikipedia. Anybody wanting to keep the balance for articles, there is an entire category of Putinism to search for a really good image. --Cart (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It has to be noted that the slogan in the photo is not a simple obscenity, but refers to the famous statement made by a Ukraininan soldier during the Russian attack on Snake Island in 2022; please see the WP article for details. --Aristeas (talk) 08:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Not when the links make it perfectly clear that the original had a watermark and the file was uploaded under a license that permits alteration of the photo. The file also has a digital (=invisible) watermark (author in the Exif). --Cart (talk) 21:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support It's a pretty bird, and I don't mind the cutoff of the tail too much, though a photo of equivalent quality showing the whole tail would certainly be a better and more useful picture.

    That's not a crop; that's the original photo borders. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:46, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's a scan from a negative, right? Do we know how it was printed? To me that really looks like it was shot with the intention to apply a square crop to the final print: It would have been easy to avoid the car on the left and the frame on the right by moving forward just a bit. It seems the photographer was more concerned about getting more of the roof and boardwalk into the frame but didn't bother to shoot in portrait orientation - and there would have been no point in doing so if he was shooting for 1:1 anyway. I like this shot - to me as a European it looks like a still from a John Wayne movie. Probably would have supported a square crop, whether it was intended by the photographer or not. El Grafo (talk) 08:10, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you offer a square crop as an alternative? Yann (talk) 11:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Yann probably a bit too late now, looking at the date. And in any case, I'd like to hear @Adam Cuerden's view on this first. Might be worth a try to wait a bit and then try again with new nomination? El Grafo (talk) 15:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know how much this was intended to be cropped: This was from a survey programme, so it's hard to say how much it was intended to be adjusted, if any. Note that the buildings in the rear are significant, though: One of the usages actually depends on them being in frame as they're the only image we have of them before some structural changes. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:53, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Maybe it's my relative photographic naivety showing, but regretfully I'm not really seeing a Featured Picture. The restoration is good and it's obviously high resolution, but as noted above the composition (in-camera "crop") is meh at best and it doesn't seem to portray an especially interesting covered walkway. It may have been taken by a respected photographer, but doesn't seem to me to be among his best work. Happy to be convinced otherwise if there's something I'm missing. BigDom (talk) 07:57, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I would support, maybe, with a crop in at both sides to focus on the walkway, but ... since it seems part of this nomination is that it's an image taken by a renowned photographer, imposing our own crop on it may be antithetical to our values.

Попробуйте, сначала номинировать ваши фотографии как Качественные изображения, а лучшие из качественных можно попробовать разместить в данном разделе. Это поможет лучше понять технические требования к фотографиям, которые изложены в разделе Image guidelines. Выше указали на технические проблемы снимка такие как пересвеченное небо, искаженная перспектива (здание набок, розы тут не при чём), плохая детализация (это видно, если развернуть фото на весь экран). И ещё сильные хроматические аберрации на ветвях деревьев слева и справа, а также на верхнем куполе здания. Alexander Novikov (talk) 18:00, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment Thanks for nomination! The main affecting thing is the warmer white balance compared to normal daylight pictures. This is due to basically everything in the picture being in the shadow, not in sunlight anymore, and being normally blue instead of neutralish. But in my opinion the blue tone picture wouldn't work in this subject very well. I think the Canon produces quite vivid colors to start with. For curiosity, the maximum vibrancy in Camera Raw I use is usually +10 or less from the raw file, I assume it's somewhere between 0–10 here as well. The saturation slider I like to keep somewhere at 0 though. In landscape shots I tend to like the Adobe landscape color profile quite often, then I often pull green a little bit down, because the green seems to get a little saturated sometimes... I think also in this case. I don't remember there being much anything else going on here colorwise. To my eye, it seems okay in "saturation", also in comparison to many quality pictures around, but feel free to disagree. The rest is trying to find balance in light contrasts and brightness. --Ximonic (talk) 13:01, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Version

[edit]

  •  Info Alternative version with more sharpening, as described in the discussion above. @LexKurochkin: You wrote above that you would like to nominate both versions to compare opinions. This is possible by using an “Alternative version” section in the nomination, as here. It makes counting the votes etc. more complicated, but it allows people to express their preferences for one (or both) of the versions. (I had to remove the small photo of the alternative from the discussion above and to change it to a mere link, the photo is now present here in larger size.)

Some people consider the alternative version as superior, but there are still more votes for the original version, and therefore at the moment the original would be promoted. Just to avoid any confusion I wanted to ask you if you could please have a look at the alternative version. Please check if you (a) like the alternative version, too (then please vote for it below of this comment), or (b) like the alternative version even better (then please vote for it and consider striking out your vote above for the original version), or (c) prefer the original version (then you got nothing to do, of course).

  •  Neutral I'm not sure. This one is sharper, but it looks like oversharpened. --XRay 💬 10:22, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral In my opinion, this version has some problems. For a better comparison, the two images must be viewed in an editing program, as different layers. Although most of the noise on the background image and on the subject has been removed, the increase in detail is too strong, that's why there are disturbing transitions on the bird's feathers. This new processing was probably also for luminance levels, but the effect was much too oversized, so the intervention caused highlights blown out. The most visible areas are at the bird’s beak, at the bird’s feet, on the rocks, and even at the bird's eyes. The increase in sharpness create some areas with white pixels to be artificially introduced where they did not exist before, so apparently the level of chrominance decreases, so the natural effect of the photo disappears. For the best result the solution would be a photo obtained by editing with different parameters with several layers. Mister rf (talk) 15:12, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But we should not delete the photographer’s motivation and interpretation of his own photo completely; that’s disrespectful. It may be OK if the description contained questionable claims and political stuff, but A. Gerst just refers to well-known facts. So please add the original description, marked as a quotation from A.

Bridge to Don Khon seen from Don Det with water reflection of stringy orange clouds at sunrise in Laos
  • Thank you very much! Yes, you're right, there's a kind of halo behind these 2 trees, due to the contre-jour. The RAW picture was voluntarily underexposed (because of the sun coming in front) to avoid blown highlights. Then the bright parts reveal only when I adjust the light in post-process. But this is not a local adjustment. I met the same phenomenon on this picture. I assume this is due to the reflection of the sun behind the leaves. I've tried to fix it in a new version.

Toledo metro station, Naples, Italy
  • Julesvernex2: Exactly, the exposure time of alle 3 frames were 1,3 - 0,25 - 6 sec. For whatever reason Lr takes over the exposure time of the underexposed frame in the EXIF date when creating the HDR. I had tried to change that to the longest frame, but didn't find a way to do so. Do you have any clue? Poco a poco (talk) 15:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm afraid I have the same issue. Lightroom seems to be rather clumsy in the way it sources the data for HDR composites (e.g., often taking the name of one of the files and the EXIF of another one), I'll let you know if I figure it out. In the meantime, if you're comfortable with command-line tools, you can use exiftool to manually copy the EXIF data (if memory serves me well, the command is exiftool -TagsFromFile FromImage ToImage ) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 15:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Electric tram number 575 in Lisbon.
  •  Oppose First of all, you are not going to persuade anyone by claiming they weren't able to interpret the photo. But the main point is that the tram is not sharp and looks awful at even 50% of full size. Your cellphone is not a good enough piece of equipment for you to take a technically very good photo, such that it could pass COM:QIC or here. Featured picture candidates is not a place for photos that "do not violate any regulations"; it is for the best of the best photos on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:20, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Ikan Kekek. If a photo does violate any regulations, that's where it goes. --SHB2000 (talk) 00:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Carlos, just an attempt to explain this, because “sharp” means so many things. Your photo is indeed sharp in so far as you have captured the tram nicely, without motion blur, by moving the camera laterally with the right speed and angle. Congrats! That is the correct technique to capture a moving vehicle and you have mastered it. But the photo is unsharp in another way, and this is what the people mean when they say “not sharp”. As Ikan already pointed out, the cellphone used to take this photo is not able to capture such a scene, especially at night, with the necessary resolution and fine details. Looking at the tram this means that it is sharp, yes, but there are no structures and almost no fine details. The cellphones tries to hide this (as cellphones use to do) by heavy sharpening, but it can sharpen only the coarse contours and edges, there are no fine details, the whole photo seems to consist of blobs of several pixels. I know this is hard to see this if one is used to smartphone photos, but when comparing them with the photos from better cameras one can see the difference – and it is a huge one. Compare this photo e.g. to the existing photos in the Rail vehicles gallery, e.g. to this Cable Car photo, also of a vehicle moving sidewards. The Cable Car photo is of smaller resolution than your photo, i.e. the tram uses less pixels than in your photo, but nevertheless the Cable Car photo shows much more fine details, because every pixel is used well – e.g. you can see all the faces. What does this mean? Your photo is nice, well-done and useful, but due to the limited capabilities of the cellphone it is not on the high level we would expect here. You could try to repeat this kind of photo with a better cellphone (I have been told that the newest phones really do excellent photos even in night situations) or, probably better, with some camera. Once you have learned how to use the camera well, you could make good use of your ability to capture the tram by moving the camera sidewards – and thus create a photo which is sharp in every respect. No offence, I just tried to explain this. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 07:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The delightful panorama of the "crete senesi", hills in Asciano (Siena) Italy
  • I have absolutely not used filters, you may not even believe it and I assure you that in Asciano Siena the hills really have this colour. And it is precisely for this characteristic that I nominated in FP.151.40.164.243 10:51, 27 April 2023 (UTC)PROPOLI87151.40.164.243 10:51, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe not you, but the telephone. This smartphone Galaxy A52 integrates pre-selected programs that transform the scene in function of the aspect you want to give to the picture (high dynamic range, ultra-bight colors, etc.) -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:27, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is the same company that automatically fakes moon photos (this Youtuber also does a few tests to confirm this), so like Basile Morin, the colours also look a bit unnatural. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ha ha! Funny. Yes, I also have the impression that these tools are designed to save users from tedious post-treatment. So the inner processing may handle the work automatically, depending on the kind of scenes they analyse. The goal is probably to produce an instant result that one can share immediately on the social networks. Despite the risk that it looks a bit fictional -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
