- Question This seems like a scene in which the subject would be moving quite a bit. How are you doing an image stack? Is it some software in the camera that does it quickly? — Rhododendrites talk | 13:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, the Canon R6 has in-camera focus-bracketing. I use it with a monopod. There is some movement but from the spider and the wind, not to mention the photographer, so lots of attempts needed. I used to use the Helicon Tube, which was more clunky. I then select a set of images to stack in Helicon Focus 8. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:45, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

- Weak oppose Sorry, but although I like the idea of the artwork, I'm having trouble with the composition. It's begging for an overhead shot. Of course, that's probably not possible, but for something with so much geometry I'd expect more balance (if not some form of symmetry) in the choice of angle. — Rhododendrites talk | 21:06, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Info Sorry, there was no chance of a choice of angle. The only way to get an "aerial" view was from the City Hall balcony. This balcony is normally closed. On that day it was opened for me and a photographer from a newspaper for a short time so that we could take pictures of the action from there.

- Comment Most of our other cemetery FPs are in the “Places/Other” gallery, therefore I propose to use that gallery link here, too. --Aristeas (talk) 05:26, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose The tree takes the focus away from the cemetery. I didn't even realise I was looking at one until I saw the title. --SHB2000 (talk) 12:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose somewhat per above. I feel like, if you cropped about the same distance to the left and right of the tree, the composition would be better, although people might still complain that parts of the tree are too dark. Alternatively, if you had about twice as much cemetery to the left of the tree than you do now, that might be enough to balance the tree out visually. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:29, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- I can't do that because there are other trees that disturb the scene --Wilfredor (talk) 18:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Shadow on the tree is also very dark and distracting. I think I see what you might have been seeing, but the camera just didn't capture it this time. You might have had a better chance with a stronger sky. Daniel Case (talk) 03:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- I have raised the shadows --Wilfredor (talk) 18:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Apart from the too dominating tree, the graves as such look washed-out with many blown bright areas (petals and leaves of flowers). Light seems too harsh for this scene; contrast of dark tree vs. bright graves might be controlled better by a careful development from the raw file. As it is, I do not see what’s so outstanding about it, sorry. Might be QI but nothing to feature. --Kreuzschnabel 12:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

- Info Pearly razorfish (Xyrichtys novacula), Teno-Rasca marine strip, Tenerife, Spain. The pearly razorfish has in average a total length of 20 cm (7.9 in). Its body is elongate and very compressed laterally, the head is flattened, with a steep profile and sharp teeth. This species is widespread throughout the western and eastern subtropical and tropical Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. It inhabits clear, shallow littoral areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, at depths of 1 to 20 m (3 to 65 ft) and it buries itself rapidly in the bottom when disturbed. It feeds on small invertebrates such as crustaceans, mollusks and echinoderms. Note: we have no FPs of the genus Xyrichtys. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:23, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Basile has given an excellent description. But doesn’t this contrast make the photo even more important? Because it shows exactly what we, the great homo sapiens sapiens species, have made this earth: it is still wonderful from a distance, but damaged, destroyed, and full of litter everywhere when one takes a closer look. This becomes most obvious in a photo like this which looks like a dream from afar, but full of waste when looking closer. --Aristeas (talk)
- Comment I agree, but the concept of the landscape as an idealized picture of the countryside dates back to at least ancient Roman times, when people who moved to Rome or other cities and were too far from countryside to see it anymore liked to have pictures of it in their houses. So I think this is a reasonable philosophical disagreement about what a landscape should be. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

- Support I'm happy to support this version, too. Why are JPGs preferable to PNGs? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:28, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- The way a JPG image is formatted makes it more suitable for a real-life image, whereas PNGs are more suited for clip-art and other images requiring less colors. Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 14:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- In addition, PNGs can also be used for archival versions of photos (because PNG uses a looseless compression), but for displaying them in Wikis, a JPEG version works better with most photos, because the JPEG file of a photo is (normally) smaller and the MediaWiki software renders a better preview of it. --Aristeas (talk) 17:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

- Strong support Another image I'd characterize as something you'd see in National Geographic ... God! I daresay that this image has actually managed to capture contemporary China in one shot, especially the everyday China that few tourists go out of their way to see (but I did once, when my wife and I stumbled into a wet market in Shenzhen, where unsurprisingly we drew a lot of double takes as very rarely seen "ocean people" in that context. That's the difference between being a traveler and a tourist).
I really like the juxtaposition of the old and the new here ... the grungy walls which no production designer, no matter how observant and talented, could quite match (and the exposed bulbs and creaky-looking ceiling fans), the men seated around their tables talking and interacting, as they and their forebears likely have for at least a few centuries in some analogous way, but with a few them engrossed in their phones, and the one woman in the image, ordering two of something, seemingly at ease in what I have to assume, from the image and my experience, is a very male-coded social space. Good job, both to the original photographer and the nominator cleaning it up! Daniel Case (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

- Weak oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 03:30, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support This photo is a good pars pro toto for the Fontana di Trevi, much more impressive than almost all of the countless total views; and the light is special, it gives the photo a nice dramatic touch. However for a 2018 photo of a static subject the detail resolution could be better; this may be connected to the ISO speed (the 80D is a very good camera, but seems it is already quite noisy at ISO 400). --Aristeas (talk) 15:51, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

- Support It's really pretty, but how does a compound with only two elements produce so many colors? I guess these colors were shined through the film. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:27, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
- The colours arise because of the birefringence exhibited by the crystalline film. When a sample possessing birefringence in its crystalline structure is viewed in between two crossed-polarisers, you will see beautiful colours. The colours depend on several factors including the thickness at each point and the orientation of the crystal axis with respect to the optic axis of the microscope. When a wave plate is inserted in the optical path of the microscope, it introduces a phase shift in the light beams, ultimately producing colour. Different waveplate thicknesses can give different colour palettes. Colour is not artificially applied, it's derived by the physics and chemistry of the sample and setup.

- For anyone who wants to know here, Aldrich was an extremely powerful Republican U.S. Senator from Rhode Island who chaired the Finance Committee in the early 20th century. In that capacity, as depicted here, he bottled up bills pushed by reformers of the era that big business disliked. (He is perhaps best remembered for a) creating the Federal Reserve system, and b) lending his name to Nelson Rockefeller, his grandson.
Interestingly, while we have a category for his house, a National Historic Landmark in Providence that I think I was the first to photograph for Wikimedia years ago, we do not have one for him. Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination I withdraw my nomination. I still would like to ask users who stated this was not impressive to them, what exactly makes a portrait of a woman impressive in their eyes. I see a lot of images on that gallery page of portaits of women that show a lot less character and personality then this shot.

- Comment I think this is a very good portrait, and it certainly touches me, but I think that everyone who had problems with the photo as an FP except for Daniel was concerned solely with technical issues.

- Not just technical shortcomings for me. A portrait should do justice to the sitter. This does not. The eyes, for instance. And I can tell you that my pictures of pretty birds and butterflies do much better at FP than drab ones. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Kritzolina, I am sorry that you have withdrawn your nomination. I had abstained from voting on this photo, but just for pure technical reasons. Apart from the technical quality I think this is a good portrait photograph of a very impressive personality. Please do not stop to nominate such and other photos here – we need some change from our usual subjects, and especially we need nominators who open our (masculine?) fixation on technical perfection, “wow” photos and flawless beauty. This photo has something which is missing from many of our featured female portraits: it shows character. --Aristeas (talk) 09:26, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I would like to endorse Aristeas' comments here. The portrait image of this remarkable personality has expressiveness and character. I tried to do an even better denoising, but unfortunately the technical source quality is just not good enough. For this reason, I too have abstained from reviewing it.

- Info Moray eels (Muraena augusti) and a cleaner shrimp (Lysmata grabhami), Teno-Rasca marine strip, Tenerife, Spain. It belongs to the family of moray eel and is endemic of the Canary Islands, Madeira and Azores. It is non-migratory, and dwells at a depth range of 0 to 250 metres (0 to 820 ft), most often at around 0 to 50 metres (0 to 164 ft). Muraena augusti is active during the night and hides in holes or crevices during the day. It can reach up to 100 centimetres (39 in) length and is a carnivore that feeds on small fishes, shrimps and crabs. Like all other moray eels their vision is poor but their sense of smell extraordinary. We have 2 FPs of this genus, this one of the same species and this one of another species but same genus. In both cases you can only see the head of one moray, here we can see more than that and as add-on there is a second one. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:54, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

- Thank you Charlesjsharp, I looked closer into it and applied similar changes (I found the denoising a tad to much, so not going that far) specially in terms of denoising and compensating the "critical areas" with some sharpening. I like indeed the result overall and I'm therefore happy that you uploaded that version. If somebody prefers your version, I would add it as an alternative to the original nom.

- Comment These are posterizing effects (banding) that can occur, for example, during post-processing. -- Radomianin (talk) 08:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Right, it's fixable by careful softening and graining processes if the area is clear. In this case it is quite complex because the fine details of the branches with the snow would suffer. In my experience, a lot of masking work would have to be invested to protect those details from processing. But maybe another user has a more creative, faster solution. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 13:55, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I'm unconvinced this is an FP, but I'd like to give it a little love. I think there's enough light for this to work well artistically (part of what we're looking at, I think, is a representation of the Medieval idea of the light that shines through the stained glass windows as analogous to the jewels of Heaven, so for that to be the only light in the darkness has metaphoric power), it's a good idea, and it's a good composition. I may vote for it later or may not, though, because there's a difference between liking a photo and considering it one of the very best on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:58, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

- Support I had to look at this picture a few times because it is so an unusual format, but it has grown for me. The vertical lines are a tiny bit tilted inwards, but I think that’s good in this extreme verticality, exactly vertical walls often look artificial in such a situation. The very top of the building is a little bit soft, but that’s not bad at this resolution, it’s more important that the rest is really sharp. I would just suggest to remove two very blurry birds (?) from the sky and a handkerchief (?) from the lawn (see image notes). --Aristeas (talk) 10:55, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

- Info White teatfish (Holothuria fuscogilva), Ras Muhammad National Park, Red Sea, Egypt. This species of sea cucumber, also known as white teeth, is found in shallow waters near islands and around coral reefs in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific ocean. Juvenile cucumbers live in shallower waters (such as inter-tidal zones) and then migrate to deeper waters as they mature. Adult cucumbers weigh between 2.4 and 4 kilograms. They are oval in shape and have a firm texture. This species cucumber has lateral papillae (teats) which are often buried in the sand. As it's consumed as a food and is part of a large commercial fishery across its range, it was listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List in 2010 due to overfishing. Note: we have no FPs of the whole class Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers). c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 05:53, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose Has a cellphony quality to it, confirmed when I looked at the EXIF (but some camera photos look cellphony, too): it'll be easier for someone else to analyze the shortcomings than I, but they would appear to be a combination of unsharpness, noise, posterization and oversaturation. But yes, a nice spot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:15, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image.

Weak supportSupport In (human) portrait photography, many people hold the view that an overexposed background is OK, and per Ikan I would tolerate it in this animal portrait, too. Sharpness is good. The CAs are extremely minor, and I can fix them if anybody wants. The right crop … is a bit odd, but it contributes to concentrate the photo on the head and facial expression of the hippo. And that is the main point of this photo: maybe this is a matter of taste, but I am really impressed by it, it’s just so very hippo. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 17:07, 3 August 2022 (UTC) — Changed to support because minor issues have been fixed. --Aristeas (talk) 09:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)- Oppose per Charles.

- Edit Uploaded an edit by Radomianin over the original that fixes the CA and exposure. Aristeas is very right about the crop, there is a place for a full body shot but a close up like this that shows the battle scars, the hairs and the overall might of the beast is what I like about it --Muhammad (talk) 07:04, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I like the photo, however given the same view already featured this should be a "delist & replace" nomination. Also, please try to do something about the noise. Regards --A.Savin 11:38, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- IMO the two pictures do not have the same intention. I would rather keep the other one as FP than to do a "delist & replace". Thanks, Espandero (talk) 17:43, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support imo this pic is different enough (different time of the year). -- Ivar (talk) 13:06, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support I don't think this needs to be a delist & replace but I do strongly suggest nominating the picture (or changing this nomination) as a set. The winter and summer views from the same angle definitely makes for a good set feature. And if you do nominate as a set then perhaps this image could use a bit of cropping. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 13:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

This brain coral is an aggressive coral and seeks to prevent competitors from overshadowing it. The polyps of P. daedalea expand at night to catch planktonic particles floating by. However, this coral obtains most of its nourishment from the dinoflagellates known as zooxanthellae it houses within its tissues. These provide organic carbon and nitrogen, the products of photosynthesis, to their host. To benefit from this symbiotic arrangement, P. daedalea needs to grow in shallow, sunlit environments. Note: we have no FPs of genus Platygyra. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

- Question I have just read the summary of the story and it seems this narrative is brutal, chauvinistic, racist and glorifies war crimes, murder and acts of violence. Is it somehow to be understood as a hidden criticism of these crimes, or did Kipling (whom I have only known from the Jungle Book) really represent this terrible attitude? (I know that such attitudes were common in those days, but it is always sad to find out that this or that great writer, artist etc. also shared them, so I ask). --Aristeas (talk) 10:09, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- My impression from Kipling is he's basically an advocate for the lower classes, advocating for the enlisted over the officers that ordered them around. He seems to try not to be racist, but doesn't always succeed given when he was writing. He clearly loved the culture and people of India, but he's also the author of The White Man's Burden. But, then again, The White Man's Burden is also a statement of goals, and explicitly states that colonialism's goals should be, first, to benefit the people under it, and, secondly, to eventually release them. Basically, he's arguably progressive for his day, but not tainted by it. That said, having read Puck of Pook's Hill, which has one of the most bizarre defenses of Jewish people you'll ever see. (It basically boils down to something like "Yes, they love money and control the world's finances. But that's a good thing! It's just a little quirk they have, and they always use it to benefit everyone. Aren't they great?") ...Well, I get the feeling he's a great writer, probably has a good heart, but he is not, when it comes down to it, a clever man, and that shows in some of the most bizarre "hot takes" (or whatever you want to call them) in literature. That said, I'm a white guy so take my impressions with a grain of salt. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:27, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Just as an addendum: Kipling is actually a pretty eloquent spokesperson for conservatism, as a general proposition rather than a set of positions purported to reflect that general proposition, as demonstrated by "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", which I still find very relevant (Rereading it, I really wonder what Kipling would have thought of Brexit).

- Question looks very nice at first sight, but gets really confusing once I try to wrap my head around it. What exactly does the area size encode? Is it really the number of seats per party? That doesn't seem to add up. For instance, afaict SPD in Saxony and Linke in Bremen each cannot have more than one seat (they are the weakest of three parties in their state and the states have only 4 and 3 grey rectangles aka seats respectively). So why is the area for SPD in Saxony larger than the area of Linke in Bremen? In other places, I can't even make out which area is larger: Grüne in Bremen or Linke in Berlin? Luckily this is based on an official figure so I don't feel bad about being blunt: Regular pie charts are already bad enough in that regard, but this is almost completely obscure to me. At the very least it needs a much better description. --El Grafo (talk) 08:11, 12 August 2022 (UTC) PS @Aeroid Let me know if I'm somehow missing the point here. Also be aware that it's entirely fine to make adjustments to both the file and the description during the nomination as long as you notify people here.
- Turns out I indeed completely missed the point. Apparently, seats from one state are not divided between the parties in a coalition after all. The area representing a party within a state's slice of pie (or donut) is not equivalent to anything. It just depends on the number of seats available (angle) and number of parties in the coalition (number of subdivisions in a slice). This is just a ridiculously convoluted and unintuitive way of transmitting the same information as in File:Bundesrat Sitzverteilung.svg. A great example of design decisions getting in the way of delivering the message. Obviously not Aeroid's fault, who afaict did a great job with the manual SVG. Sorry, but I can only Oppose this for being unclear and potentially even misleading. --El Grafo (talk) 10:03, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
- It's not a standard election diagram. It illustrates a rather custom German constitutal body with its particular details of composition and voting procedures.
- But thanks for digging into it and trying to get your head around it. I also did the other diagram you mentioned, which I abandoned due to information of the actual current division of power was encoded on the physical seats. That didn't work on thumbs.
- Just to explain a little bit this choice here: a "slice" is a state, each state has defined number of seats by constitution. The seats are the outer circle grey boxes. This defines the "width" (angle) of the slice.
- A state is ruled by single parties (Saarland) or most commonly coalitions. There are typcially majority parties "leading" teh coalition and get their candidate elected to be the state's head of legislature (Ministerpresident). This majority party is one the outermost position in the slice, taking up most of the "area". the smallest coalition member is on the innermost postion of the slice. For me this is enough info and as much as you could encode. The election results leading to this coaltion are not really relevant after the coalition takes power and divides ministers among them as they decide. The seats here and voting procedure are by law bound together and a stae has to vote as one with all their seats. So I think it well represents this kind of political body. The offical charts on the Bundesrat.de website are very similar, so didn't really invent soemthing new.
- There is a second very similar diagram style the I maintain and can update within 2 minutes which is suitable for even smaller thumbnails.
- As mentioned really not much of an "design", I re-use color choices from the election diagrams on wikide and just put quite some work on easy translation and update capabilities of this.
- But thanks for your feedback, if more people don't get the content (which is complex, can't change german law), I'm happy to consider incorporating it in a further variant. Aeroid (talk) 16:40, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

- So I actually got it right the second time - yay! After some consideration, I think my main problem with understanding the chart was that it looks very much like a stacked bar chart of one thing (probably proportions of 100%) merged with a half doughnut chart of another thing. Figuring out what the doughnut part means was relatively easy. But figuring out that the stacked bar chart is not a bar chart at all took a while. I'm not saying that bar length should encode more information, but it could, and at first sight it looks like it does. That's what I meant with misleading above. There's of course nothing wrong with doing it like this (after all, it's pretty much identical the one on the Bundesrat website), and being useful at thumb size is a valid concern (at least for Wikipedia, not so much over here). This edit already helps a lot!
- Contents aside, I'd like to say that this indeed a high-quality figure with good proportions, line weights, etc. (the only thing I would personally change is the yellow, as it's visually close to white and the circle in the legend next to FDP is barely visible on my (cheap but calibrated) screen). So if you're not succeeding here, that's not because you didn't do a good job (wow, triple negative ...). It's just that FP at Commons aims for media that has at least a bit of a wow-effect, and that's really difficult to achieve with any kind of diagram. --El Grafo (talk) 08:54, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. It was a shot in the dark. If I knew that a "Visual Wow-factor" was the prime hurdle to take, I wouldn't have tried it. Would be great if this could be clarified on the entry page. While there are of course great illustrations that could qualfiy, I would question the "visual" focus. Especially as we are nowadays facing lower entry barriers for "good looking content" (which is good), but need not to forget, that pure visuals are not the sole quality-criteria (not even to start any DALL-E discussion here). But I understand that the "maintainability" is probably hard to fit into the "FP protocol". Aeroid (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- To clarify, the "wow" does not have to be visual at all. Can be "wow, this is educational", "wow, this is a rare sight" or basically anything else. Technically speaking, it's not even a rule, more of an observation of voting behavior: candidates that have a certain something about them that is somehow outstanding/special/impressive/better that "just good" tend to be the ones that are successful. But yeah, maybe we have reached a point where it has turned into an unwritten rule, that should be written down somewhere. El Grafo (talk) 12:37, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

The shadow was left to balance the whole picture (so not to have too much sky and not enough land in the picture); there is no real interresting detail that is hidden in the shadow.

- Strong oppose Dim light, vignetting, unnatural contrast and overall look. And really not that interesting an image beyond those. Daniel Case (talk) 16:33, 11 August 2022 (UTC) (Escalating !vote to strong oppose per Kreuzschnabel; I had wanted to do that originally but felt a little sheepish about doing that when mine was the first !vote.

Strong oppose Funny idea admittedly, but the image is overexposed, poor quality, uninteresting light, odd-looking vignetting with a decrease in contrast towards the edges, and not the most fortunate composition. Not even QI for me. I cannot see why this should be one of our very very very best pics, sorry. --Kreuzschnabel 21:14, 11 August 2022 (UTC)- Gracias por comentar. Es cierto que la composición no es buena, pero no estoy de acuerdo con respecto a la luz, el viñeteado, que me parece equivocado como he visto en otro comentario tildarlo de "viejo".

- Weak oppose I just don't like the crop. No headspace. I'd like to know a bit more sourcing as well, as opposed to just "no idea". Through a search for "Elvis 1958" I found [1], which identifies this as a production photo from "King Creole" and which also lacks the terrible crop. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:36, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
- I do have some concerns: Given that it being a promotional still from King Creole was apparently not yet figured out when this was nominated, how on earth was a check for non-renewal of copyright done? Did whoever did it checkthe magazine it was published in? That might be enough, but we don't say anywhere what was done, and that's rather important info for the license. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:58, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for all the research, Adam! I closely compared these two – the one from the magazine (published in June 1958) and this one. From what I can tell, although they look almost exactly the same, there are subtle differences. (for example, Elvis' mouth is slightly more open in the magazine one) They were probably taken just a second apart, but I think that they are not 100% the same image.

- Support Interesting perspective which makes us see the famous tower in a not-so-common way and emphasizes its structure. I don’t think we should speculate about how difficult a photo is to take – some of our best FPs may be technically simple shots, and on the other hand there can be incredibly complex photos which nevertheless would never make it to a FP for good reasons. However there is still the copyright problem because of the strange French copyright conception. Personally I think this should be fixed in France (i.e., France should finally introduce a working freedom of panorama), but until that I fear we cannot keep such photos … I support this photo here (a) for moral reasons and (b) because I have been told that we should discuss such legal issues in deletion requests etc., not here. --Aristeas (talk) 15:19, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment My understanding is that the copyright claim is over the light shows (or if you prefer, special lighting), not the regular yellow light we see here, which couldn't possibly pass any threshold of originality. I believe the light show takes place later at night, not during blue hour. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you, Ikan. That would make sense. I hope this is the correct explanation and we can keep this photo (and similar photos). --Aristeas (talk) 19:12, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- FYI, there is no daily light show. It only happens on special occasions. Yann (talk) 19:29, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral Given what Category:Eiffel Tower at night says, I do not believe we are in the clear here. It has always been my understanding that the lighting design on the tower was commissioned not just for the light show but for any occasion it's all lit up ... watch the credits of any American movie that includes a scene with the Eiffel Tower at night, and you'll see the copyright acknowledged. I didn't find anything in threshold of originality that discusses how France treats it; in a nation lacking FoP I do not think we can make any assumptions.

If the specimen is not completely in the microscope's field of view, it's easy to take several single exposures and then stitch them together as a panorama (I do this with small mollusc shells, for example). And why is the dorsal side not at the top but diagonally to the right, that is, why is the preparation rotated 45°? Second, it would be interesting to know what the picture shows. An explanation of the individual structures would be easy to do with annotations.

All by -- Famberhorst (talk) 14:54, 10 August 2022 (UTC) - Support -- Famberhorst (talk) 14:54, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Good intentions, but the image does not work for me (and therefore has no wow). Firstly, the machinery is just old but by no means "antique", I’ve seen it still in use. Then, the main subject (according to the file name) is really hardly discernible here, the bottom half being covered in grass and the top part nearly vanishing before the busy shrubbery background (could have easily been avoided by holding the camera a bit higher to place the rake entirely before the bright grass). Third, the device is poor in detail for high levels of visible noise. Fourth, what’s the point of doing a long exposure here in bright light? --Kreuzschnabel 21:35, 10 August 2022 (UTC)- Support For me the brighter look that the long exposure creates actually makes the image more about its late summer mood ... where I live we have just gotten out of our second heat wave of the summer, and with minimal rain over the last month (even given that it is usually our driest month), a lot of exposed unshaded grassy areas are far more golden than green. So this image is what this summer has felt like for me ... bright and sunny, almost to a fault. Which enhances the feeling of this equipment being put out to pasture (literally ) and neglected ... I don't really see it as the subject, just a part of the overall image's real subject. Daniel Case (talk) 01:17, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support per Daniel. — Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 22:17, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

- With a volatile subject such as two live butterflies, I would say that focus is not so much important as the overall composition of the snapshot. Obviously you cannot pin the two butterflies to one spot each in order to have a broader focus in a staged photo. So to get the impression of two "duelling" butterflies, I think the lack of overall focus is even beneficial as it illustrates the dynamic situation in this encounter.

- Did you see that noise? It's way above anything we've ever promoted. People here have done better in worse situations. Daniel Case (talk) 01:51, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- People here do not live in a third-world country, where a camera is a luxury.
- And photos are not only technical quality.

- I am looking at all the jaguars that we have in FP, one is steady steel, and by your criteria would never pass.
- Two are in bright sunlight. Made by a gringo, not a Brazilian, or other South American.
- And the rest is in a zoo.
- So "People here have done better in worse situations."
- Probably from a boat, after sunset, in a rainforest (that you may not know, but is hell dark), a fight scene, with a 7 years old camera that cost today 21k BRL (the same price of high-end Canon R5 in the USA) one year salary of an engineer in the country. So who did better?

- You need to understand English usage before insulting non-Brazilians. If you really did not intend gringo to be derogatory, then a simple apology would have worked. And you need to study your geography and your photography. This photo was not taken anywhere near the Amazon rainforest or indeed any rainforest. You should not mislead FP voters. It is unlikely to be a 'fight scene'. The Reserve states that the jaguars are social and play-fighting is a social activity for all big cats. The Pantanal is not 'hell dark', although my 3 FPs of Jaguars were not taken in bright sunlight. You could have worked that out by looking at the ISO I used: 800/1600/3200 and the lack of any shadows. It seems that this image was taken either with flash or a bright light - neither are recommended for mammal photography. I agree El Grafo that I did over-react, apologies to everyone else.

I think the problem with this particular image is that it looks much noisier than on would expect from a photo taken with this particular camera under these conditions (5DS @ ISO 800). I'd be willing to bet that this is largely due to processing. It's easy to accidentally emphasize noise when you're not careful with your sharpening, and the noise in this picture looks like exactly that has happened. There are no do-overs in an action shot like this, but there are do-overs in processing. Should be easy for @Queucer to go back to Photoshop and fix the problem. I'd support in a heartbeat. El Grafo (talk) 08:02, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Comment The strong grainy effect is clearly sharpened noise without any doubt, so it happened in processing and should be fixable as long as the original file has not been deleted. I'd suggest to withdraw this nomination here and have the image reworked by the author. - Generally, it's pointless to argue about votings here. In nominating an FPC, you're asking for other's opinions on this particular image, and with their votes, you're getting opinions. You don't have to "fight for your nomination" here (and won't make them change their vote by that). --2A02:908:1980:73E0:237D:BFE0:1BCA:AED3 09:20, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- I am just exposing a general problem that having happening and have a great effect in "what is good". We have tons of European and North American photos, or made but those illustrating another country. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 11:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- You are not wrong about this in general, there certainly is a strong geographical/cultural/... bias here. But this is really not a great example to go on a rant and make this point. The problem here clearly lies in the post processing rather than quality of the camera or the financial situation of the photographer. The 5DS may be a couple of years old, but it is still an excellent piece of equipment. El Grafo (talk) 11:22, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- I have to disagree even on that :( 1,2, Canon 5DS and 5DSR are good in a controlled environment but look how noisy the images are, the first one the background was cleaned, but the subject not, the second the is in ISO 400, and in sunlight, the background is not clear.
- Yes, the photographer chooses to not diminish the sharpness of the photo, and increase the dark areas without controlling the noise, and this is not a good camera for that.
- But under these circumstances, for me, still acceptable, and more usable with greater sharpness and with some noise. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 12:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

- They're right nevertheless. Images are judged here by their excellence only, regardless of where they come from or what equipment has been used to produce them, so there's no discrimination. And you've been said repeatedly now that the issue here comes from processing, not from the camera, so your "can't afford a better one" lamento is pointless, as nobody ever demanded that. --2A02:908:1980:73E0:1AD3:F1E0:EC1C:698E 11:41, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Comment To be honest, I don't understand this discussion at all, the noise level is high, it could have been reduced and the image would have been FP to me. Instead arguing about gringos, pictures taken by foreigners or locals and so on. Somebody here, Rodrigo.Argenton, hasn't got the point. We are here to select the best images and, if possible, improve them together.

Unfortunately, in this one, I feel like I'm being Goldilocks here but ... despite its technical excellence, the light is just ... too ... harsh. It's overhead and out of the frame ... but still. I squint a bit looking at this one. Daniel Case (talk) 02:32, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

- @Iifar: The image is within the 2 megapixel resolution guidelines for Featured Pictures. Note that macro photography requires a trade-off between depth of field and resolution. If I took the image at a higher resolution (i.e. higher magnification), less of it would be in focus. Since Urban Versis 32 rejected it based on the depth of field and you rejected it based on the resolution, it seems that it is impossible to get a photograph of this insect to be a featured picture without violating the laws of physics. See diffraction-limited system. Nosferattus (talk) 19:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- I may be completely wrong about this, so I'd like someone else to verify my statement, but I have seen other photos of this species (Category:Paraulacizes_irrorata), specifically File:Paraulacizes_irrorata,_face,_Upper_marlboro,_md_2013-10-18-12.24.13_ZS_PMax_(10372994044).jpg, which is a photo of this species' face, at a resolution of 4200x3324.

- @Urban Versis 32: Yes, and in both of those photos only the top of the insect is in focus. It's not hard to get a high resolution macro photo, but there is always a trade-off between resolution/sharpness and depth of field. As you raise the f-stop you gain depth of field at the cost of overall sharpness, and the higher the magnification, the steeper the trade-off. It doesn't matter if you have a $10,000 macro lens and a studio set-up, diffraction softening still has the same effect. This photo could be higher resolution/sharper, but then less of the insect would be in focus. You have to choose one, though, you can't have both. Take a look at these featured ant photos, for example: File:Plectroctena sp ants.jpg, File:Red Weaver Ant, Oecophylla smaragdina.jpg, File:Formica high res.jpg, File:Myrmecia forficata.jpg. In all of them, the legs are out of focus, and most of them are barely over 2 megapixel. It's not because they are poor photos taken with old cameras, it's because they are at the limit of what is possible regardless of technology. Nosferattus (talk) 16:20, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

- Nosferattus: 2 MP was ok resolution for macro images 10–20 years ago (yes, the guidelines are very old). Last years we had many excellent focus stacked insect FP candidates with higher resolution (even over 40 MP). 2 MP image has to be very special to get promoted today. -- Ivar (talk) 05:58, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Iifar: It is not always possible to get a focus stack of a live insect. Try getting a focus stack of a live ant for example. Are those subjects just not eligible for featured picture? And if the featured picture guidelines aren't true, they need to be updated. You shouldn't be wasting people's time with false guidelines. Nosferattus (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

- Info Common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), Teno-Rasca marine strip, Tenerife, Spain. The common cuttlefish is one of the largest and best-known cuttlefish species. They are a migratory species that spend the summer and spring inshore for spawning and then move to depths of 100 to 200m during autumn and winter. They only have a lifespan of 1–2 years and have many predators including sharks, dolphins, seals, fish, and cephalopods which includes other cuttlefish. During the day, most cuttlefish can be found buried below the substrate and fairly inactive. At night however, they are actively searching for prey and can ambush them from under the substrate. Cuttlefish are carnivorous and eat a variety of organisms including crustaceans (crabs and shrimp), small fish, molluscs (clams and snails), and sometimes other cuttlefish. Fun fact: one of the few marina fauna that you could stroke (like I did with this one). c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 10:55, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

- I've had a close look at both versions. I do see some sort of transitiom lines in the first image and very obvious blurring of these lines in the second which does not improve things. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:14, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment The ugly drawbridge dominates. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support, although I think it could be cropped in a bit on the sides to make it more about the train going over the bridge (See note). Daniel Case (talk) 19:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you for the nomination! I want to add a few words here. First: The location was very deliberately chosen to show the bridge as well as possible. The situation around it is very cluttered as you can see here, and I had to hide one of the road bridges behind the railway bridge to get a view (almost) without distracting elements. So you shouldn't think of this photo as a photo of a train, but as a photo of a bridge which happens to have a train going through. Second, I really don't want to cut off the train as that looks kind of unnecessary to me, also that would put the bridge very close to the edge. Third, I think the bridge's designers deserve some credit for creating something that is very minimalistic yet entirely functional, and I quite like the look of it. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:31, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per Charlesjsharp. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support as is per Kabelleger. I like the bridge. In a way, it's very utilitarian, but the clear lines of those giant rectangles give them a certain something that reminds me of modern sculptures and en:Brutalist architecture. --El Grafo (talk) 07:57, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- I would describe the bridge as Brutalist ... I haven't seen too many bridges in that style. Daniel Case (talk) 23:22, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

The striated surgeonfish can reach a maximum size of 24 centimetres (9.4 in) in length, but its common size is observed to be around 18 centimetres (7.1 in). C. striatus is one of the few herbivorous fishes which are occasionally toxic. Ciguatera poisoning is caused by the accumulation of a toxin produced by certain microscopic dinoflagellates which it ingests while feeding on algae. If a contaminated fish is eaten by humans, the concentrated poison contained within its tissues causes neurological damage that can be fatal. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:47, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

- Support IHMO it’s exactly the point that the ball is between the face and me: this makes me feel as if Phillip Waller was passing the ball to me. Putting the ball, the face and the whole body almost in one line gives this photo an extreme concentraction and makes it much more dynamic and interesting than the usual “from the side” overview photos. --Aristeas (talk) 09:28, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment @IamMM: You have specified the gallery link as Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Arthropods/Hymenoptera#Family : Chrysididae. That’s perfect! But I want to inform you about a potential problem. There is not yet a section “Family : Chrysididae” on the page. In this case, FPCBot can do strange things, especially it may add the photo (after promotion) to the section for another family on that page, or it may do some other nonsense. This means: Whenever we specify the gallery link with a section anchor for a section which does not (yet) exist, we must controll (after the promotion of the photo as FP) manually what the bot has done, create the new section (in this case: “Family : Chrysididae”) and move the photo to that section. I just want to inform you about this problem, because if we both (you and me) forget to check the page, the photo may end in the section for a totally different family and it may take years until somebody notices that stupid error ;–). All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 08:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

- Probably the only oppose The insect itself looks overprocessed. I realize it's focus-stacked, but the colorful skin has a lot of posterization and seems very unnatural. There are also areas with ringing on the underside, a lot of ragged edges all around, a weird artifact-y halo on the bit of flower in front of the eye, among other issues. Daniel Case (talk) 18:59, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

- Info Make some noise! Robert Gardos (AUT) at the European Championships 2022 in table tennis, all by me - nominated by Granada -- Granada (talk) 10:00, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support -- Granada (talk) 10:00, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Funny face, but hyper-noisy background in my view, and the focus is not optimum. Sharpness missing. Just a valuable document, not a great one in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:01, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I could not shoot at lower than 1/1000s and the hall was quite dark, so the ISO went up to 5000 and that produces a lot more noise than taking a picture at the same ISO at longer exposure times. It's envitable. --Granada (talk) 13:29, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Dear Granada, IMHO you are withdrawing your nominations too soon. We all know that sports photography often requires extreme ISO speeds, and a noisy out-of-focus background is … well, just an out-of-focus background and hence unimportant; it may be either smoothed or ignored. The facial expression and gesture of the guy is really great. Therefore – with all respect – Basile’s critique seems a bit harsh to me. I see only a single really difficult point in this photo, namely the sharpness/focus; but even this may be OK, given the resolution, and it would be interesting to discuss that here. Therefore I would like to encourage you not to withdraw your nominations so quickly :–). --Aristeas (talk) 08:35, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Dear Aristeas, this was done out of experience. Usually one negative vote from one of the established commoners leads to a refusal of the FPC. --Granada (talk) 08:58, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I understand this very well, and I am very sorry for this. From time to time people declare the fall of the Roman Empire just because we promote (in their opinion) too many “unworthy” FPs. I am much more concerned about this problem – that people do not nominate their photos at all because they expect unfair and impolite critiques (I know of several people who think so) and that people withdraw their nominations quickly because they have the impression that a single harsh critique can destroy all chances of a photo. I do not say that this is the case (naturally there will be different views on this), but just the fact that people have the impression that our discussions are so unfair is IMHO a very bad sign and should make us all think over our style of discussion. --Aristeas (talk) 16:16, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Reopened. Let's see what happens ... btw: I've tried Topaz Denoise on this, the face is in fact sharp, it's just noisy. Should I spend money to denoise the photo? --Granada (talk) 16:38, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

- Comment The other image you withdrew actually had support votes and no oppose votes. I don't like it, but I didn't oppose it. I am often accused of being impolite. It is really hard to find a nice way to reject an image that falls short of what I consider FP. I haven't voted on this image, but I dislike the facial expression and I don't think the face is sharp enough. I don't like the over-exposed table nor the busy background, which is usually a problem for sports images. I don't take this sort of photo but I do look at many in my daily newspaper, so have some sort of benchmark. It takes a long time to write all this detail down. How do I make these detailed critiques polite? On a current FPC, for imstance, I wrote the wishy-washy "The flower petals from another flower on the left are a bit distracting and the bee's head is not so sharp". Some voters start their critique "sorry" which is crazy. Except for newbies' FPCs here, I think regulars can put up with fair and direct criticism. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment “The flower petals from another flower on the left are a bit distracting and the bee's head is not so sharp” – Charles, that was not “wishy-washy”, but the best critique written by you I can remember; it sums up the problems of that photo very well. --Aristeas (talk) 07:05, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Info Yes, the other nomination was withdrawn also at the same time, though nobody opposed -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support Robert Gardos’ facial expression and gesture are great; they make this photo much more interesting, funny, and even educative for me than 99% of the sports photos I see in the newspapers etc. The background is OK. As said above, I see only one problem, namely the sharpness/focus – I wish the face was completely sharp; but considering the resolution and that no artificical sharpening etc. was applied, it’s still OK for me. --Aristeas (talk) 07:12, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Looking again at this image, there's another problem in my subjective view: the white ball merges with the white text of the t-shirt, thus it's not very distinguishable -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support per Aristeas. Most of its problems are indeed almost unavoidable for indoor sports shots, and I think they were handled exceptionally well here. The shirt interfering with the ball is a bit unfortunate, though.--El Grafo (talk) 09:04, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral Very interesting scene and the facial expression represents the reaction times we table tennis players seem to have. Nevertheless there are a lot of flaws in the picture (as already mentioned).--Alexander-93 (talk) 14:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose A great expression on his face, yes, but you have to look too closely at the image than I think you should for an FP in order to understand why, that that little round white object is not something on his jersey but the ball. Props for the effort but this wasn't that shot. Daniel Case (talk) 19:01, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Yes, it is a funny and interesting shot, but the face is way too soft for me. The whole image looks a bit overexposed – colours a bit washed-out and then saturated in processing. That might only be me. Took me some while as well to spot the ball as what it is instead of part of the jersey decoration. While this image is certainly, as I said, funny and interesting, I don’t think it’s one of our very very best ones in every respect. --Kreuzschnabel 17:24, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- Nothing was done to the colours in post and Lightroom does not show any overexposure. --Granada (talk) 20:03, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- I didn’t say there’s something blown but the skin just looks too bright for me. --Kreuzschnabel 20:11, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice facial expression, but the bottom is disturbing. -- Pofka (talk) 08:50, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
