    color adjusted
  • I don't know for certain if the color renovation was accurate. I do know that a lot of information came with this LOC download and that the renovator of this image did the very best she could given the information that is there and had aged with the photograph. I also can tell you for certain that after my experience with the scans of old color prints that are being hosted here that I will in the future and given a chance always scan with a color card as similar to the color bars that exist on this old photograph.
  • Take a journey into a bookstore which sells books containing art prints and compare the same print in from two different publishers and see what you will see. Even the pros aren't. -- carol (talk) 04:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Online translator: "It seems me that the elements are very simple, simply to copy and to hit (paste). Besides that lacks a version in other languages or numbered."
The elements should be simple—it's a schematic (as the description states). The purpose it to educate, not to please. Besides that I definitely can't say it's an ugly drawing; in fact it looks quite good. Indeed perhaps a version with numbers would be good, but I doubt that is any reason to oppose this image. The text can easily be translated with Inkscape. diego_pmc (talk) 05:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not a ZOO pic, and I strongly agree with your kind of late support vote for your own image. I believe the image should get promoted, and I also believe that you should at least try to apply the same standarts that you apply to your own images to other people images too. At first maybe you could try at least not to oppose the images that are unique, rare, underwater, taken in the wild, and highly educational, no matter what quality they are, and then later maybe you could try to support one.Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:37, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose JalalV (talk) 04:39, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Impossible to tell whether this is a zoo shot or not, but that makes no difference, it looks like one. The background interferes with the head of the subject, so there is no clear contour of the animal, a basic graphic element. The lighting from behind does not favor subject. Good photographic technique would have called for use of a longer lens, wider aperture, lower camera position in order to exalt the subject. And BTW, nice to see you again. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tomas, look at the geolocation: This is wild Africa where animals don't do as they are told;-), no zoo 450 km in the neighbourhood! Welcome back! Lycaon (talk) 22:45, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You can give moon locations for that matter, but that does not mean the picture was taken there, I guess it is just like my live scorpion, that you hint is dead. As I said, zoo shot or not, looks like one. Now, this IS a good shot #REDIRECT [5] And nice to see you too!--Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:54, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter if it is a zoo shot or not, but the biggest clue is the focal length of 135mm. It'd be very, very difficult to get so close to a wild animal. Most of the zoo pictures on the English Wikipedia are at similar focal lengths. I'd say that Tomascastelazo was probably picking up the perspective of the 135mm lens, which is quite different to a 500mm one. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Good picture of a common (dead) scorpion with average DOF. As it is still around, you might take another picture, but please remove the dust and lint first. On a different note, the id might be wrong as C. suffusus (the Durango scorpion) has pale sides and only occurs in Durango province. The colour hints at C. vitattus but even then, although it is a wider spread animal, the place where you found it stays a bit problematic. All in all, a clean shoot of a properly identified (even dead) animal has surely FP potential. BTW, lighting is very good. Lycaon (talk) 22:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Dear Lycaon, I am not too keen on photographing dead fish in a perilous air-conditioned lab nor taking zoo pictures with bogus geolocations. If I say here that the bug is alive, it is. Here is another picture of the model and a little brother (who did die) #REDIRECT Image:Centruroides suffusus 2.jpg. As far as the ID, a Bug-o-logist friend tentatively identifies it between a suffussus or a infamatus infamatus or infamatus ornatus. The problem is that they are very small. The dust? Well, I sure ain´t going to try to brush it off. :o) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I'm with Lycaon. For a studio shot it could and should have a much better quality and DOF (focus bracketing?). I don't like white backgrounds, but that is a minor remark. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Of course you are with Lycaon! Birds of a feather flock together! I am much more amused than surprised. What makes you assume that it is a studio shot? Just so you know, the critter was photographed with daylight in the shade, in a plastic ice cream container... pretty much in its natural habitat, my back patio. Perhaps for a photo critic you could and should have much better quality in your critiques, substantiated by insightful arguments, not blanket statements that say nothing. Nice to see you again too! --Tomascastelazo (talk) 00:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

        • Thank you for the warm welcome Alvesgaspar!!! Funny thing about criticism. I love criticism! I truly do! Problem around here is that there is no criticism. I am a dictionary freak, and criticism is rave; appraisal, assessment, evaluation; analysis, examination, study. There is very, very little of that. What there is a lot of, however, is a lot of self delusion about knowing about photography. But it is ok though, this effort is still worth it, there is redeeming value in here. It is a fact of life that everything has good and bad, so we just have to accommodate for that. Zen says that in order for there to be short, there must be long, for there to be heavy there must be light, so I guess here in order to have wonderful, fun people like me there must exist the opposite. What's there to do but accept reality?? ;o) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 01:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Camera to subject distance is a valid point, which affects angle and it is valid from the personal preference point of view. If, however, we increase the camera to subject distance, sharpness decreases. Sacrifice sharpness for point of view or sacrifice point of view for sharpness? Image, in my opinion, is sharp enough, and ca be sharpened with photoshop to suit certain reproduction needs. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Todos Santos Island Lighthouse

There might be perhaps a slight chance that photography does not require one clear subject, don´t you think? If your eye goes back and forward, that suggests that there is movement in the picture. Imagine if one were just to look at a photograph and zoom in in one clear subject. How boring. This photograph illustrates the interaction of several elements, the lighthouse and the cliffs, it speaks of the utilitarian aspect of one of the subjects, hence the eye skiping. Usually they build lighthouses in order to avoid ships crashing into the cliffs, but I guess some of them might be built as pretty props to be featured in Commons. An aerial photograph of such elements provides a visual dimension of these elements that are seldom seen from this perspective and scale. Now, if you no likey, you no likey. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  • Dear Lycaon, It is OK not to like certain type of art, each is entitled to their own taste, or lack of it. Not to like Dore, in this instance, on the personal level, you have that right. There is, however, another side that is much larger than the personal taste: the fact that Dore is one of the Great Masters of engraving, and as such, his work is an inheritance to humanity, and as such, the importance of his work transcends the personal taste of a particular individual. FP is a vehicle that promotes quality images of encyclopaedic value, consistent with the goals of Wikipedia, and I am sure, Dore´s images fall within that category, much more above personal preferences. At the very minumum, you may oppose this particular image based on the technical merits of the digital capture, but according to you, that seems to be OK, but to oppose the image and deprive it of its opportunity for diffussion in this wiki effort seems to me, a little unfair.--Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:20, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Lycaon --Latzel (talk) 16:16, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Adam, Engravings were done at 100% of their mechanical reproduction, this is important considering that the reproduction size also determines in a way the viewing distance. In the case of the bible, the viewing distance would be the reading distance too. If this were always true, a scan of 300 dpi at 100% of original reproduction size would be sufficient. In this case the dpi is at 600 dip at reproduction size, which means that one can get a very fine 16x20 print at 300 dpi, and a decent 32x40 print at 150 dpi, that when viewed at a distance would be fine enough. Point is, keep scanning at this resolution. The only tip I would suggest is to scan in grayscale in order to save space and compress in photoshop at the highest quality. A high quality compression in gray scale will result in a smaller file than a medium to high quality color scan. Unless the color of the paper is important, I would stick to grayscale. In this case the original file is 27.5 megas vs 20.9 megas in grayscale. This is a good opportunity to really have this Great Master in high quality. Another that I would love to see here is some Albretch Durer, which I am sure, you must also love. Keep them coming!!!--Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I figured that it's easy to create a greyscale from the colour, but not the other way around, and, as I don't want to scan the book repeatedly - it's 200+ images, after all - that I'd upload a high-res colour version, and people could use photoshop to create an appropriate black-and-white version without the paper texture. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I was just thinking about space and upload time, but you are right, better in color first and then convert. Man, I´ve been looking over this one and it is just exquisite. I am going to try a 16x20 print with this one. I will look over some of the other engravings and will suggest a few, if you don´t mind. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that is the case. A release under GFDL is non-revocable and no other message on the page can "take it back".

That's not quite the same, that is talking about 'improved' versions of images, which always need evalution. But Commons always treats scaled down versions of images as duplicates of the original. Delist and replace as is being suggested here is a new arbitary process that is not appropriate. So I reiterate, if they are just scaled versions of the same image then the solution is simple. If there are processing differences then it is just a normal situation - nominate the new version and delist the old one if the new 'improved' one succeeds. --Tony Wills (talk) 19:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alligator in Loxahtchee National Wildlife Refuge

  • Photographig crocs poses a challenge for many reasons. First, they tend to move. Second, one has to use medium to long telephoto, which have an inherent shallow dept of field. Photographers know that from the photographic point of view, when you focus on a particular point, whatever depth of field that is available according to the focal length and the aperture, one third of the critical focus area obtained with that particular aperture will move towards the front, and two thirds will fall back towards the rear. If the critical focus would have been done on the snout, the snout would have looked good, but critical focus would have started to fall off toward the back, the eyes woulf have had a soft focus and the tail would have been really out of focus, the critical focus on the snout would have given us worthless sharp water in front. As it is here, the critical focus was done intelligently around the eyes, thus allowing the focus to fall off gradually into the snout and the back, rendering a very acceptable general sharpness. Composition is great, a very dynamic diagonal, nice texture and simple environment. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:24, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Close up photography almost always will have something that is out of focus, that is an elementary fact. It is just like the eye, when focused at something at a close distance, the background or foreground will be out of focus. What happenes with the human eye, is that the brain adjusts automatically and one may think that we see wit everything in focus, when reality is that the human field of sharp vision is only about 1%. In this case, it is natural to have something out of focues. As of the other elements, color, texture, contour, shape, dept and composition make it a very nice photograh indeed. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Comment -- Sorry Lycaon, but i think you shouldn't have removed the elaborate discussion. Here is my comment:
    • Let me first cite some recent “pearls” so everybody understands what I was complaining about:
      • Critique of any discipline necessitates that the critiquer commands the principles or distinctions of the art.
      • Criticism without knowledge is fine, but limits its value or validity to the aesthetic preferences of the viewer
      • As for me accepting criticism, as that defined as unfavorable criticism, that which springs from envy, anger, ignorance or other base human emotions, yes, I have a problem with that
      • […] and this particular forum, not Wikipedia, is problably the most hostile and yet less qualified photography forum on the net. What a contradiction.'
      • Perhaps for a photo critic you could and should have much better quality in your critiques, substantiated by insightful arguments, not blanket statements that say nothing.
    • Many times I have said that most of what I know today about digital photography I have learned it here, through the criticism of others. Not pretentious dissertations, as the one above, but direct critics like “out of focus, use a smaller aperture” or “flat light, horrible flash” or even “boring composition”. Those critics came both from experienced photographers and beginners, as all have the right to participate in the forum and have something to teach to others. Sure, I’m ignorant, in photography as well as in many other things. What I can’t easily accept is that someone whose knowledge or talent, or recognized work, has yet to be proved calls me one. Maybe that peacock type of rhetoric is only theatrical. Or maybe not. In both cases, it is terrible manners. Like showing our a** in public. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support The picture is really a good picture, it has technical merit on one hand and without being a bug-o-logist, I can appreciate how this image can illustrate an article or be useful in an educational project, which is I suppose, the objective of Wikipedia. Pixel wise it may be small, but if you enlarge it at the pixel level in photoshop, it retains a lot of fine detail and it is definitely much larger than a lot of images used to illustrate electronic articles. Even for print work it is useful. I see a lot of much smaller pictures that do not necessarily lose value due to their size. On the aesthetic side it really is a fine photograph. Good color, texture, etc., and best of all, a key moment in the insects´ life. I much rather have this picture than none at all. Does this image, despite the shortcomings of size, according to some, contribute to the goals of this effort and to the advancement of knowledge? I think it does. Very strong mitigating circumstances. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 00:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose the image was decline in August 2008, the image hasnt changed since then nor have the FP standards been altered to give reason for this image to be renominated. Gnangarra 02:48, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment So what if the image was nominated before and declined? Does that mean anything? Van Gough was not famous until after his death, and then people discovered his genius! What if the reviewers were not qualified back in august? I mean, if collective hysteria is possible, collective bad judgement is definitely within the possibilities. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:50, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Comment I see no real problem in renominating it, but I think it should be by a new person and after a longer period as to not encourage people to just renominate things that are borderline FP enough times such that it just passes. To me it has nothing to do with the image, just the nomination process. /Daniel78 (talk) 10:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American crocodyle

 Comment Dear Lycaon, I stand by those comments... however, we are talking about two different situations, that a knowledgeable and discerning observer can easily identify. The comments that you allude to are for a particular picture and the comments are valid within the context of that image. Just to illustrate you, if that could be possible, would be to mention first of all that the angle of view is different in both pictures. In this particular image, the angle of view is much lower, which means that the elements of the image are positioned much further away in relation to each other, thus making the DOF issue more difficult. Another point would be that obviously the main point of interest in this particular case are the crocodyle's teeth, and not the eyes, they are positioned in a much better place than the eyes, and they cover an area much larger than the eyes, I would say that the ratio is about 50 to 1 maybe? So to sacrifice critical focus to an object of that ratio would be stupid, for lack of a better word. So therefore the natural choice is to assure good detail in the main area of interest. I've never heard that people are impressed by crocodyle's eyes, have you? What impresses people are their jaws and teeth, which just happens to be the point of discussion and one of the central parts of this image. In the other image that you allude to, no teeth or jaws are present, therefore the criteria is different. Photography is much like music, where sounds fade in and out, with different volume, rythm, melody, etc., etc. In photography, like in music, focus fades in and out and it is the overall interaction of in focus and out of focus elements that make the visual music of a photograph. If in music all the sounds were to have the same intensity, tone and volume it would just be a lot of noise. Everything in focus in a photograph could lead to a lot of visual noise. So you say that you oppose based on a criteria that I myself set forth for another image... is that really the real reason? What happened to your own criteria? We both know (and many others) what the real reason is. Cheers!--Tomascastelazo (talk) 20:21, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Common Pigeon Portrait

 Comment It is actually not downsampled, it is cropped. I didn't want too much of the bird's body to detract from the more interesting head and iridescence. 'Common Pigeon' is the official International Ornithological Congress name for this bird. I will look into the categories.
Identification means a scientific name which is unique for the species. 'Common pigeons' are also called rock pigeons, city doves, feral pigeons and other names that may add to the confusion. I'm not even talking of the French, the Turkish or the Urdu name then. Lycaon (talk) 11:34, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose that the high ground is the one of the left, the dark one, however, What is the scale? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure about the scale. From the source page: The cloud is about 180 meters (590 feet) across and extends about 190 meters (625 feet) from the base of the steep cliff.. Indeed, the high ground is on the left. Again from the source page: The largest cloud [pictured] traces the path of the debris as it fell down the slope, hit the lower slope, and continues downhill, forming a billowing cloud front.

We have many Featured Pictures of which the awesomeness only becomes clear once one reads the summary. See, for example, a low-quality image of a man parachuting, low-quality image of three Russian woman simply standing still, this grainy picture of who knows what and strange, black gooey stuff. These are all images which depend to a certain degree on an explanation of what they contain. I hope this convinces you to reconsider. Anrie (talk) 17:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
IMO The image is one of commons "finest" pictures because it is highly educational and higly encyclopedic.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not clear to me why that picture is highly educational. I also don't really see where on wp it could possibly be extremely usefull, there is no article "landslides on mars" (only an extremely short part in "landslides") and I think we have quite a lot of pictures about mars already. So a little bit of criticism must be allowed here. -- Gorgo (talk) 20:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment One of the greatest achievements of photography is that it brings different events, places and times to the present with a quality never seen before in the history of mankind. The fact that most people never reflect on this and take photography for granted is no reason to assume that these significant characteristics have come to pass. In fact, they are alive and well. The very fact that millions upon millions of dollars are spent on space travel and exploration, and the end result is a very sophisticated vehicle that basically what it does, among other things, is to gather visual information by putting a camera in front!!! Think of it as a rocket-propelled camera!
The fact that one may ignore the content or the context of an image does not make it less important or impressive, but rather, it points out to the “lack of sensitivity” of the observer.
The Mona Lisa is to many a work of art, appreciated by many, but the fact that one person may not consider it a work of art due to his/her own shortcomings, does not make a non work of art nor a subject of non appreciation. The same thing can be said for music.
Now, as far as technical perfection, photography on earth has evolved drastically, and in today´s photography perhaps we can be picky (and pricky) about megapixels, HDR and all the new tec godies, but that does not diminish the value that photography of the past continues to bring us to this day. It is like time travel. And to judge great historical and valuable photographs based on today´s technical standards is plain foolish.
To observe a high quality photograph of mars in today´s high quality standards, is in itself a wonder, both for photography and human achievement. The photograph is a testimony to both.
Now, the sensitive part. A drive by oppose really does a disservice to the pursuit of knowledge, to the people who have worked to bring this to us, to the nominator and to the Wikipedia effort. Personal preference should be second to the public good. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 20:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: the image is below the size requirements. 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.
