Panoramic view of Bursa, Turkey.
  •  Info all by Eusebius. -- Eusebius (talk) 08:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose Good quality, detailed, technically very well done (vertical lines are parallel all along the image, can't see stitching distortion, good EV and contrast). On the other hand, you had very bad weather, with some haze and very poor lighting. You could crop it a bit on the sides so the plants don't disturb, and reduce color-noise a little (see mountains). Sorry, but I really don't know if this qualifies for FP even though it's well taken, IMO it lacks wow. PD: It caught my attention how many TV antennas they use in Bursa! -- Paolo (talk) 18:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a morning view of the Tagus River and part of the Alfama District, from Santa Luzia Lookout, in Lisbon, Portugal. The picture was taken with a Nikon D90, with a 18-105 VR Nikkor Lens.
  •  Info all by Paolo (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Paolo (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info The image looks a little tilted, but I compared it. It's an optical effect because the dock is not "parallel to the horizon". Anyways, I really liked this place when I visited, had great lighting and those red roofs in the same color are very nice. Hope you like it. -- Paolo (talk) 04:00, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Too few houses, too much sky and a little more sharpness, the picture would do well. Why ISO 320 and f/16. I think with f/8-11, would be more sharpness in the picture. --Ritchyblack (talk) 07:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • But the river is already a bit blurred, and higher aperture would mean more blur in the background, including the river, which was intended to be part of the subject. You are right: composition could be improved. But I would actually reduce the houses to have a better 1:3 ratio with blue(sky)/blue(river)/red(houses), and then exclude the crane on the left. That would be a possibility. Sharpness is better without noise reduction in the original pic. That is a matter of personal taste. I prefer smooth skies. But I'm open to suggestions -- Paolo (talk) 13:15, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would prefer not to see only 1/3 houses. My preference would be 2/3 houses, 1/6 river, 1/6 sky. That would put the ship at the (2/3, 2/3) focal point. --99of9 (talk) 04:13, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Support I prefer this way actually. I don't need to see 100 orange-rooved houses to get the idea. I like the far-looking style here. It teaches the viewer immediately that we're looking at a city by the ocean and reminds me by the sky that Spain is one of those places that is dry almost all year 'round. IMO this is beautiful, educational and less boring than just a lot of houses. BTW this looks more like 1/2 houses, 1/4 water, 1/4 sky as is anyhow -- One, please.

Castle Neuschwanstein from south
  • The two pics have very similar resolution, disappointingly small given that this is such a standard shot, why not use the whole sensor / not downsample?
  • Both have similar sharpness.
  • The angles are so very similar that I can't say which I think is better.
  • This one has better lighting IMO, although it is more "flat", it shows better detail on the wall facing left. I find the shadows too strong in the other version.
  • This one has less pine trees obscuring the castle. Amazing that they've cut so many down, presumably for this reason?
So, this one has my support, and if it gets up, I think the other should be delisted. --99of9 (talk) 04:47, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Goetheanum Dornach from west at dusk
 Info The Goetheanum includes at least two performance halls (1000 and 450 seats), and it is, among other activities, a venue for concerts and theater performances which often take place in the evening so showing this building at dusk isn't irrelevant IMO. --Myrabella (talk) 09:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC) P.S. Having read a bit further about anthroposophy, I prefer to not support it for personal reasons, but it is not because of the (high) quality of this photo. --Myrabella (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pale Blue Dot
  •  Info created by Voyager 1 Spacecraft, NASA - uploaded by Knowledge Seeker - nominated by Surajt88. Pale Blue Dot is the name given to this 1990 photo of Earth taken from Voyager 1 when its vantage point reached the edge of the Solar System, a distance of roughly 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometres). Earth can be seen as a blueish-white speck approximately halfway down the brown band to the right (annotation added). The light band over Earth is an artifact of sunlight scattering in the camera's lens, resulting from the small angle between Earth and the Sun. Carl Sagan came up with the idea of turning the spacecraft around to take a composite image of the Solar System. Six years later, he reflected, "All of human history has happened on that tiny pixel, which is our only home. -- Surajt88 (talk) 04:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's already centered, just longer and with a blurry, unnecessary coral behind it. Mine is actually a bit off-center (because I knew that someone would say what you said) but still IMO spatially balanced. -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 03:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to your views - sadly licensing is not about your views but legality. There is nothing at all light about the judgement on legal issues I assure you (neither is it censorship which I something I am against). I am sure you will continue to hold your views despite any real legal facts. --Herby talk thyme 16:16, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
@ Herbythyme: There is a legal expression that says: Not everything that is legal is just, and not everything that is just is legal. Legality is a human creation, and as such, subject to many flaws. At one point in history slavery was legal, and considering such precedent, we can assume that many other legal issues answer to the same baseless logic. Legal defense of legitimate intellectual property is absolutely fine with me, but censorship masqueraded as a legal issue is an altogether different animal. For all you know, you (or any of us) may be doing the devil´s bidding without knowing it. But regardless of ethical, legal and moral considerations, censorship it is.--Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:16, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: of obvious tilt, perspective distorsion, unfortunate cut of the minaret, clouds blown up, messy composition, too far away of FP usual standards IMO. Sorry --Jebulon (talk) 15:00, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Bombus Bee at Eden Project
I've uploaded a new version with the CA fixed and contrast enhanced using Lightroom. As for the bee being partly hidden by the flowers, I can't fix that. There is no position where the bee is not partly hidden by the flowers as it is sitting in them. The sculptor presumably positioned the bee within a flowerbed to give the impression that a giant bee had landed there. So I think being surrounded by flowers is the intention rather than a placement flaw. The bee wouldn't look nearly so attractive on a concrete plinth. The intention of this photo is to highlight the three aspects of the Eden Project: the biomes, the sculptures and the landscaped gardens. The fact that the hexagonal biome structure mimics a bee's honeycomb is also appropriate I think. Colin (talk) 14:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the corrections, this version is better. In my opinion it deserves a QI but however not a FP. -Gzzz (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refectory of Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, as seen from the door towards the fireplace
  •  Info created by Bert Kaufmann - uploaded by DarwIn - nominated by DarwIn -- Darwin Ahoy! 12:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info This is my first FP nomination ever, so I'm still not used to the system here. I'm nominating this image because it has a very good detail on the vaults, floor and the side panels, the light is good as well. It is well centred and represents the object (the refectory) quite well, even the painting over the fireplace at the far end can be seen fairly well.
  •  Support -- Darwin Ahoy! 12:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice picture. Yet, the right wall is very noisy and there are CA on the edge of the window, sorry. --Gzzz (talk) 20:03, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Interesting, but there are noise and chromatic abberations, and the composition is really boring (centered).--Citron (talk) 20:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I withdraw my support after it has been called to my attention the fact that the wall colouring is artificial. It is, indeed. The place is not grey, but rosy, the grey tones are due to the HDR technique, which enhance the shadows. Though it provides much better detail than usual, it does so at the expense of showing the place like it really looks like. I also agree about the noise mentioned above on the right wall.-- Darwin Ahoy! 07:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Very nice picture. Centered composition is appropriate here (and is not boring by definition!). Some flaws however, as indicated per others. Please don't stop at your first FP nomination, even if the critics are disappointing, and persevere! -- MJJR (talk) 20:58, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info This astronaut photograph, taken from the International Space Station while over China (approximately 400 kilometres to the north-west of Beijing), provides the unusual perspective of looking down on a meteor as it passes through the atmosphere.
  •  Support As nominator Originalwana (talk) 12:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Wow! What a cool pic to see! Very high EV, but I don't think it qualifies for FP. It is difficult to take and all, but it has strong CA, noise, blurry and blown parts. The crop is weird too, in my opinion. But it certainly is a VI. Paolostefano1412 (talk) 13:46, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Even if a picture taken from outer space is always impressive, this one, in my opinion, doesn't reach the criterias for FP. The earth is blurred and the crop is unfortunate. -Gzzz (talk) 20:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info This is probably the first picture of a meteor took from above the atmosphere so it is not only impressive (as any outer space picture) but significant too. It reminds us that meteors are meteorological phenomena! G Furtado (talk) 00:39, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

disused tunnel exit
  •  Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, Unsharp, strong CA, poor light. - A.Savin 18:30, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info The leaves are only unsharp with a lot of zooming. This is not relevant, as the leaves are not the subject, but only a green chaotic jungle background. This is not the registration picture of an object. This picture has a more symbolic meaning (end of the road, new green future, the abandonment, etc). The contrast and the slight overexposure is deliberate and meaningful.Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:44, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Floen in Oldedalen, Stryn, Norway
  • Gosh! The standard equipment of a Wikimedia photographer (who wants to have FPs) is at least dynamite, a chainsaw, a submachine gun and a helicopter. What a rookie mistake, Ximonic :-) But seriously, I think sometimes are the local circumstances not good enough to make a featured image, so sorry, I understand really good what you mean but I still oppose. The candidature looks promising indeed :-) --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 20:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I agree it was a bit oversaturated and had a little excessive vignette. I took the above comments into account and updated the photo and decreased the saturation and removed a lot of the vignette. I think the short DOF does highlight the boy more to good effect.

Willingen (upland) panorama
  •  Oppose Few wow from the picture to me. The picture is divided in two, and the lighting isn't the best. The foremost and most prominent building is cut at the bottom and is mostly hidden by the trees which is annoying to me. - Benh (talk) 20:39, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • How to conjure a wow factor into a city? :-) So that's reason why I use that light with some low clouds and the lovely evening light after a very rainy day. This should be atypical compared to other town (panoramic) images. Moreover the images were photographed in a mountain range, but maybe I should heed that discussion :-) I didn't noticed that the building is cut off... But I think it carries no weight because it would be hidden by tress indeed. And also, if I would take a lower point of view, I consequently have to crop at left and right (because there would be a handrail) and so the crop at bottom is the lesser of the two evils.
