Support A good portrait. I like it a lot. I am not well versed in Commons:Photographs of identifiable people - in the country specific section it is mentioned that in India there are exceptions to the general rule of allowing to publish a portrait taken in public without explicitly asking for consent. But I do not know what these exceptions are. I am pointing this out because the {{Consent}} template is not present on the file page. Probably everything is OK, but can someone more competent than me please confirm this? --Slaunger (talk) 19:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Found it: Commons:Country_specific_consent_requirements#India. The exceptions are ...publishing a photo in a manner that might be "embarrassing, mentally traumatic" or causing "a sense of insecurity about [depicted persons] activities" is illegal ... and I do not think any of these exceptions apply in this case. --Slaunger (talk) 20:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I would think the question whether this is taken in a private or public setting is more pressing. I know very little in regards to wedding celebrations in the Hija village at Ziro (or the rest of India for that matter), but I would expect such a thing to take place in a private place? If it is then {{Consent}} is needed in any case. If it is in a public space, then I would think it is okay. According to a paper by the Centre for Internet & Society in India not much privacy can be expected on the streets of India and the photograph of the woman doesn't appear to "embarrassing, mentally traumatic" or causing "a sense of insecurity about [depicted persons] activities" (per Commons:Country specific consent requirements#India).

Weak support I have mixed feelings about HDR and I think this one is on the edge of appearing unrealistic or overprocessed. On the other hand it has very nice colours, detail level, mood, and a good composition, so I surrender. Could you indicate in the {{Panorama}} the software used for the HDR stitch? --Slaunger (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am by the way intrigued by the fact that I cannot see any stitching errors in the grass in the foreground. It is usually very hard to avoid parallax errors in the extreme foreground. Did you use a special pano-head? On the other hand, the stitching method used in some recent stitching software is so smart that it can zig-zag in between the individual straws and make a seam, which is very hard to see. --Slaunger (talk) 20:14, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  Info I've added the information regarding software and # of pics to {{Panorama}}. The shootig conditions were not optimal. I stopped spontaneously at the road (because of the great sky formation and sunset) and had only a simple tripid (no pano-head). I even had no remote-control with me and pressed the trigger by hand. The seven photos were prepared with Lightroom. (noise reduction, WB, CA). I auto-aligned the source photos with Photomatix 4 and used the Detail Enhancer method with medium light effect. In the end I postprocessed the jpg output from Photomatix again with LR (noise reduction, sharpening, shadow-highlight correction).
  To your other points: The use (and usefullness) of HDR is ambivalent and highly debated. I personally prefer the use of HDR in situations with extreme dynamic ranges. E.g. the direct sunlight here and the bottom side of the bridge (completely in shadow) blows the DR of every camera thus I used HDR. I always try to let my HDRs looking naturally and go beyond the limitations of the camera sensor. Thanks for your interest and (weak) support. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Great composition and lighting/shadows but partially thank to much digital processing Poco a poco
- Info To the skeptics of HDR: On [1] you find a very similiar sunset photo of the same object. Impossible to carve out the interesting structure of the bottom side of the bridge. As you can see on this photo the worth seeing strucutre of bottom side is completely shadowed independently of the time of the day. In this case here I would even go so far that HDR is more natural than any other shooting technique because our eyes can master both: the beautiful sunset and the structure of the bridge by rapidly alternating between bright and dark areas. HDR (more precisly the final tonemaping) just merges this mechanism into one photo. --Tuxyso (talk) 02:44, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like good HDR images, but this unnatural example hast just an end in itself. To show a nice view of this bridge the time was definitely chosen wrong. We have a dramatic sky with an average good bridge photography. Sorry, but the EV is too low in my opinion and the artistic mood too posed. --Wladyslaw (talk) 22:29, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rare coincidence. J Kadavoor J e e 16:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a coincidence. An agreement about a good and relevant review, IMO. I was to oppose too, but I did not have the good and precise words for that. Wladyslaw expressed here exactly my meaning.--Jebulon (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Have to agree with Wladyslaw, sorry. Basically, I like the winter sunset atmosphere here. But the bridge itself does not find much expression. The eye-catcher here are rather the sky and the sun, which actually should not have been so. A better exposure of the bridge is desirable. It's also the fact that the image resolution is rather on the poor side. - A.Savin 19:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
- I am open minded to criticism and I know that HDR is controversal, but your statement "image resolution is rather on the poor side" is absurdity, sorry. The photo has a resolution of 5,6 megapixel! It was my decision the downsample in order to minimize noise here. I think LR can do it much better than the image rendering of Commons. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
  - Well, looking at some other FP's of comparable motives I don't think it's an absurd requirement. Even more, it's not that essential and in case of some exceptionally good images voters may overlook an even lower number of pixels. Here, however, we also have some other technical issues, given the fact that even compact cameras of today have far more than 10 MP it's also a point, albeit just one of several ones. - A.Savin 20:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
    - I just answered back to your statement regarding the resolution. Like or dislike of HDR and of the composition I've choosen here is a subjective matter and I accept the negative assesments to this aspect(s). If 5,6 Mpx are problematic I can upload the photo in full resolution. Compared to the other nominated photos, 5.6 Mpx is a good average and not "rather on the poor side". Please do not take resolution as justification for your reservations on HDR. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
      - I am happy with your in-detail comments (also in future). I think circumstantial comments are beneficial to everyone. Thus keep on commenting that way. --Tuxyso (talk) 05:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A pretty picture to look at, but unrealistic enough for me to oppose --Dey.sandip (talk) 13:34, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Very unrealistic editing, extreme halos on the piers. The latter is the biggest problem for me. --Julian H. (talk/files) 10:39, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info My initial plan was to shut up until the vote if finished, but some statements are hair-raising to me:

Julian H.: "Extreme halos" - what is extreme? Extrem enough that up to now no one despite of you has realiszed it? We are here at FP. As I initially wrote: The shootings conditions were not optimal, the formation of the sky and the sunset were very unique and led to this beautiful result (in my eyes). Slight halos should be correctable via image editing.
To the naturalists / realists (Wladyslaw, Jebulon, Dey.sandip, Julian H.): I cannot follow your argumentation. What is real? Are the NASA images shown here real? No! Are the beautiful FP-panoramas real? No, no one can look 360° around. Photography is always communication between photographer and viewer (and never) reality. The resulting photo was the way I've seen the bridge and the beautiful sunset, nothing more and nothing less.
Bridge photographer (Wladyslaw, Savin): I agree with you that there might be better perspectives for pure bridge photography. But as the german title "Bridge of valley of the Ruhr with sunset" indicated the motive here is the symbios between sunset and bridge architecture. From my view a selected the best shooting position, probably you can come to Germany and find a better one :)
Wladyslaw: With all respect, but your comment "I like good HDR images, but this unnatural example [...]" annoys me much. I've seen and processed a lot of HDRs and I am sure that mine is for sure not a bad one - in contrary. Be so kind and have a look at the English wikipedia entry [HDR] to see bad and overprocessed HDRs. --Tuxyso (talk) 14:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say it's bad (technical the image isn't bad for sure), I have said it's unrealistic and dramatic and therefore it looks posed. That's a difference. --Wladyslaw (talk) 16:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These halos would indeed be easily correctable with the original material, if the editing software supports this. "Extreme" means that they result in a darkening of the edges of the pier compared to the center (they should be the same colour) by about 30% (at least it looks like that). Why others didn't notice that or had no problem with it is none of my business, the point of a democratic vote is that everybody can vote according to his impression and standards. And for me, these halos are too strong. It might also be that others noticed it but didn't mention it.
I completely agree if you say that photography is never 100% real and doesn't have to be. But if my immediate impression upon looking at the image is "this looks very wrong", then this is a problem for me. In other conditions, it might not be. And "the shooting conditions were not optimal" doesn't change the quality of the image or the editing. This isn't a vote about your abilities as a photographer, so please don't feel defensive about this. I'm trying to be objective, as far as that's possible when talking about photography, and my impression is that this shouldn't be a FP. Others think it should be, and that's perfectly fine. --Julian H. (talk/files) 16:14, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Set nomination: The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, featured

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes.Voting period ends on 30 Nov 2012 at 07:23:35 (UTC)

This is a complete set of illustrations by W. E. F. Britten for the book, "The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson". I realise set nominations likely haven't been used for a while, but they still have their own section in the rules, and I checked on the talk page, so I'm going to presume this is fine.

That said, there's no actual templates for a set nomination, so feel free to tweak this page.

Anyway, these are photogravures; the slight grey cast is entirely part of the artistic medium, and the contrast with the paper is what identifies them as such (so please don't cut the border; I know people always want to, but it's really never a good idea for historical works). This is also from a slightly unusual artistic movement, the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasised relative simplicity. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose: As Wladyslaw stated: nice idea, but no "Wow" for me. I cannot see the real value for Wikimedia projects. Probably you can make some clarification on this issue. What is the main motive? The parque, the observation tower, the colors or your artistic idea? --Tuxyso (talk) 08:56, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, when I nominate a picture here is following the well-known official criteria of Commons. My hope is also that the evaluation is based on it, otherwise we'd need to update that criteria to avoid confusion. I spent one day in the Brown County State Park (Indinana, USA) middle of October and I tried to transmit the most representative of that place at that time, and it was, without doubt, the Indian summer, with its explosion of colors. The frame is of course an "artistic" touch with the target to have a more original result. I was hoping that this would please the reviewers here at FPC. I also think that this picture can be used in articles like Autumn, Brown County State Park or Indian summer enriching them, although I would expect this kind of question rather at VIC. All the best, Poco a poco (talk) 10:38, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Probably my comment results partially from a misinterpretation of the sentence "Value – our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. " of the guidelines on Commons:Featured_picture_candidates. But for me the photo is still not representative for general topics like "autumn" or "Indian summer" because of the dominant artistic touch. Art is a subjective matter, and your undoubtlessly great work evokes no "Wow" with me in contrast to the most other voters. And no (personal) "Wow" is (as I've learned here) a concern of FP. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The idea and the framing are simple and probably nice. But beyond that, I fail to find anything particularly interesting. --Dey.sandip (talk) 13:19, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The black border and the projections of the sunshade beams (?) are very disturbing. The "landscape views" are not very attractive as other autumn pictures. J Kadavoor J e e 16:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ Great "wow," very artistic take on it. But I feel it is lacking in value. Convince me of any Wikimedia project that might reasonably use this (no, I can't see this in the Wikipedia article on "autumn"), and you'll have my support. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral An excellent shot. The unfamiliar focal length for this portrayal make it very special.

Weak oppose In many respects a very good photo. The scenary is very interesting, and the composition is very good. But the light is "dead" and flat for me.

Oppose Awkward pose (urinating?); one leg is almost "missing". Composition would be better if rule of third is followed. JKadavoor Jee 04:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Rule of third is used (download the photo and see where you find the reindeer and the head).--ArildV (talk) 09:47, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    - Actually, no. The reindeer is looking to the right, so it is better if there is more room on the right. Yann (talk) 08:18, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yes; I noticed it. But all other body parts in left direction. Just turned to give an angry look (I think a big no as I usually get while peeping into the privacy of people on street) to the photographer for disturbing its daily routines. -- J Kadavoor J e e 16:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        I dont think we should confuse animals and humans. Reindeer are vigilant (bear, wolverine, wolf and lynx occur in the area, and is the major threat to the reindeer). From a encyclopaedic point of view its very good to show both the body and head of the reindeer.--ArildV (talk) 18:01, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info Different crop.--ArildV (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Better composition; but the falling droplets and the widespread back legs are still an issue for me. Do you have another photo after it is urinating? J Kadavoor J e e 16:40, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose See above. Yann (talk) 12:49, 25 November 2012 (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: minimum resolution is 2 MP.

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.

King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Is that not relaxable for sufficient mitigating circumstances? The picture's main concern is its notablity {in being probably the most recognised images/pictures/portraits of a very famous scientist [to say the least]} than its total technical perfection. Considering that, should this picture not be allowed a bit more cushion than, say, a picture of a similar quality but of a completely non-notable topic? TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Noone disputes the notability. The endevour should be focussed on finding a source image in much better technical quality. FP is about value and high technical quality. --Slaunger (talk) 09:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think this picture should be tried as a valued image candidate. The minimum resolution of 2 MP is a reasonable expectation of FP. --Dey.sandip (talk) 08:09, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the Roman Catholic Church, three (and only three) archbishops are called "Patriarchs". They hold not a crozier, but a patriarcal cross. They are the archbishops of Jerusalem, of Venice, and... of Lisbon. It is a church in Porto and not Lisbon, but in Portugal. Maybe it is a beginning of an answer ?

Oppose The window is overexposed --The Photographer (talk) 12:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, agree that the window is slightly overexposed, but had no choice. My goal was to expose the interior properly and the only light source was the light coming from the window. HDR was not a possibility, because usage of tripod is not allowed in ASI protected monuments. The brightness around the window can possibly be selectively reduced, but since the over-exposure is not too intrusive, I would like to leave it as it is, in order to maintain the realistic feel of the photograph (i.e. the captured image tries to represent the reality of the then conditions as close as possible) --Dey.sandip (talk) 13:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've had similar problems in places where it is not allowed tripod. In these cases, I perform two photographs from the same place, one taking the brightness of the window and the other with the ambient brightness. Later, I created two layers in gimp overlap the window, erasing the overexposed layer, only the section of the window. e.g. Interior de la Basilica de la Chinita.jpg. There are always options, the only limitation is your imagination ;) --The Photographer (talk) 13:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't deny that multiple exposures is not an option :) But then, it involves extensive post-processing and the whole thing gets into the domain of Digital Retouching. Okay, now there can be a lot of debate about the usage of softwares and to what extent it is acceptable. I'm not getting into that kind of discussion. Everyone has their own views on the subject, and its really upto the photographer. But my personal preference is only to do minimal post processing and minor corrections and use as less softwares as possible. This is the best that I could achieve in this photo, but I appreciate your views on the photograph :) --Dey.sandip (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very interesting. I like it despite the overexposed window part, and the suboptimal shooting conditions. Surprised there is not more noise considering the ISO. Surprised the DOF is so good considering the aperture.... --Slaunger (talk) 21:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment f8 at 18mm will give you a hyperfocal distance probable from 2-3 meters to infinity, so if focused appropriately, as here, there should be n DOF issues... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Perspective problem, I'm sorry --The Photographer (talk) 01:39, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Perspective problem? Of course there will be a convergence of lines, the degree of them depends on the distance camera-subject, focal length, etc., which will give you an angle, thus perspective. Even the use of a crane to center "something" would yield a perspective towards the outside of the center, which would in turn be an unnatural view of the buiding. This is the top of the church door, so the perspective rendered is somewhat normal... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 01:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you stand far enough away from the structure you can take the picture so that the columns are displayed right and thus give a sense of uniformity. Mr. Tomas, I'm not sure, I would have liked to see more of the columns and not that feeling like they were cut, also a little over the top. --The Photographer (talk) 02:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, but the problem is that there is no space in front to back off... I took the picture as far back as possible, beyond me there were stairs, a gate and a tree that obstructed the view. As far as the cropping, one has to determine the sections in such a manner that one has a "complete" "partial" story. Details in architecture are common and they demand thoughtful cropping. I think I achieved this. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your clarification, I've run into similar problems, what I do is an panoramic, and then modify the perspective. Use a wide-angle lens is an option. Nice shoot --The Photographer (talk) 13:33, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Software can "fix" perspective "distortion" by stretching but no software can change the angle-of-view from below-the-subject to perpedicular-to-the-subject. This is clearly shot from below and that can't be fixed with any software. Some of our building shots, with perfect verticals, look weird because they are still shot from close up and below. The only solution is to get further away and/or higher up, to approach the perpendicular angle-of-view. But if the ground slopes down or there are obstacles in the way, there is no solution. One may consider that the artist deliberately wanted us to "look up" at this facade, in worship. Colin (talk) 13:59, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Colin. Angle of view in itself gives us a perspective. The recent tendency to "correct" perspective in my opinion is an abuse of technological resources, the fact that the option is there does not meann one has to use it all the time. Perspective, up and down and side to side occurs naturally and it is affected by several factors: distance camera-subject, focal length and angle of view, etc. To try to "fix" up and down perspective, which gives us a visual sense of distance, height etc., is just as ridiculous to try to "fix" lateral perspective that gives us a sense of depth. In some cases correcting a little converging vertical lines that result from wide angle lenses, and thus a distorted view, works in order to render a more natural look, when a natural look is desired. In this particular case, the converging lines are in tune with the natural way one would see the subject (see the focal length) in person. In some architectural shots parallel lines may be desire in order to give a more dramatic view. The best way anyhow to correct perspective distortion is through the use of perspective correction lenses or view cameras with tilt/shift/rise/fall. Sofware correction, in my opinion, most of the time works as a gimmick. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert but my understanding is that perspective control lenses can't perform the magic trick of fixing the angle-of-view either. If you are only able to see the bottom of a gargoyle then there's no lens in the world will let you look it straight in the eye. A periscope perhaps? The perspective control lens has two advantages over software. Firstly, the software stretching will result in resolution loss. Which is why some stitched building images benefit from a little downsizing. Secondly, since the camera is pointed upwards, and a standard (rectilinear) lens has a flat plane of focus that is parallel to the sensor, one can't get the whole building in focus when tilting other than relying on a large depth-of-field. I dare say, however, that such lenses have their own distortions, limitations, and they are expective. The perspective fixing feature in Photoshop/Lightroom isn't very clever compared to Hugin. "Ye cannae break the laws o' physics!" -- Colin (talk) 15:55, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The angle of view remains the same, but what is important is how the image is recorded and the optical process. Basically perspective control lennses and view cameras allow for the film plane to be parallel to the subject plane, and the image travels in a diagonal manner. The center of the lens is not centered to the film plane but offset, and the subject plane and the film place are parallel, thus maintaining the verticals pretty much the way the brain sees them. There is a good article here #[[2]] and here #[[3]]. In any case, perspective control with a rise movement either with perspective control lenses or view cameras is entirely different than perspective control with software. Software will stretch pixels and the affected areas will not have the same resolution across the film plane. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very interesting facade captured in detail. I agree with Tomascastelazo that the view from below is natural. Looking online (e.g., this) shows the whole front is interesting and hard to decide where to crop without cutting something. A single shot of the whole facade would not be as detailed as this one (a stitched image would be necessary) so one has to choose between capturing detail vs the whole. -- Colin (talk) 13:23, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- As far as I understand a machine-translated version of the Estonian Wikipedia article regarding this atrophysicist, the photo is taken in a field close to an observatory, which might be the context, although this is not apparent from the photo.

- I have been thinking about this photo during the day and the setting makes sense to me now. I see the rape-seed field as an analog to the universe. One of the most important things you learn if you are into cosmology is that the universe on a large scale is isotropic and homogeneous. That is, all galaxies and clusters of galaxies are evenly spread on a large cosmological length scale. Just like a flowering rape-seed field seen from a distance. Everything is yellow (isotropic) and nomatter which direction you look at, the field looks the same (homogeneous). Yet, on a smaller scale, there is structure (galaxies and clusters of galaxies). I think of each plant as a cluster of galaxies, and each leaf and flower as a galaxy. Each plant share the same overall structure, yet has individual differences. A rape-seed field is just like the universe. Quite an adequate scene for a cosmologist. --Slaunger (talk) 19:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    - I can see that "rape-seed field is just like the universe" analogy being used in a TV doc or science magazine and would work in the context where that argument is being made explictly in the voiceover or text. It would then be a great visual aid to help folk remember the point being made. A good image.

Support Some noise, dark or very light areas (high contrast), slightly blurred areas, however, prominent enough and very nice composition imho --The Photographer (talk) 12:28, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Not very sharp, but excellent "wow" factor. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 14:06, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support A good composition, a lucky cloud and a nice reflection makes a "wow" factor happy. --Selbymay (talk) 20:40, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Absolutely lovely composition. But exposure-wise it looks weird washed out, especially in the area around the white cows. As if they were originally overexposed and blown, then brightness reduced and postprocessed. The histogram also has an unexpected discontinuity in the high end. --Slaunger (talk) 21:26, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Very nice Winter atmosphere, but I think there are a few things, which are not spot on for FP. I think the crop is too tight, expecially at the top, the composition is quite good, but not excellent, especially the right hand side is a little weak with some image clutter of distracting elements and the mix between centered and third-of-rulish elements does not work well for me. Perhaps a little to much fog obscuring the elements, on the other hand it adds to the winter atmosphere. Sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 20:55, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
strong Support It is a work of art. A little surreal, but exciting and interesting. Nice with a picture that is not taken on a beautiful summer with saturated blue sky.--ArildV (talk) 21:42, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

      - Neutral May be I am more enlightened now about the subject. But I would have liked if the photo itself had some feature or characteristic to highlight the importance. Simply looking at it, does not really tell much about the significance of the place to a casual viewer. --Dey.sandip (talk) 11:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great! --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:53, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Obviously huge wow and it looks really great in preview. But already at 2Mpixels it begins to look overprocessed with posterized cliffs and chroma noise in the sky. At full res, the problems are very apparent. I had a look at the creators own comment regarding the shot on flickr, where he says "...I worked a lot on it because I forgot to use the tripod and also didn't set the exposure right. Paying for my sins, so to speak. All those other tourists that were there blocking the shot got me all flustered!". It explains why it looks so processed. --Slaunger (talk) 21:04, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    - The background statue is the idol of Goddess Durga. The activities in the foreground show the preparations of a "Puja" and is an essential element of the photo. The people are priests.

Support Professional studio shot of a notable Russian TV host. - A.Savin 10:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
weak oppose: Commons definitely profits from professional studio photographs of celebrities. But for a "professional shot" there are two notably problems with hightlights on the skin (see notes). It is normal in portraiture that one side of the face is brighter than the other one, but espcially the hightlight on the forehead is too disturbing for me, probably a result of the slightly too low position of the main light. After dodging (if possible), pro from me. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Here is not Wikipedia and here we have no discussions on notability. Besides, this image is curently being used in a Wikipedia article. Are all of your FPC's being used somewhere? - A.Savin 19:27, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - What is the featurable characteristic of this photograph then? Why then characterize this shot as as a professional shot of a notable Russian TV host, if notability is not an issue. The proposal then should be a professional shot of a Russian TV host. As a portrait of a person, not considering her notabiility, it is of marginal quality from the photographc point of view, that is, there is no extraordinary craftsmanship, and the portrait tells me absolutely nothing of who this person is, what she does, nor the field where she is "notable.". This photograph is undistinguishable from zillions of pictures of ordinary people. A portrait of a person? Try this #[[5]] --Tomascastelazo (talk) 07:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support An attractive subject photographed well. The hightlights identified by Tuxyso don't bother me and fashion photography often has the face evenly light. The notability of the subject is a matter for their Wikipedia article, not Commons FP. Colin (talk) 22:28, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose First of all, nothing interesting and intriguing: neither subject, nor composition, just girl and white background. I don't like unnatural studio background, especially white background, it's real shame. Beside, per Tomascastelazo, it does not reveal much to me about the person, who is she, what is inside, and thus it does not give a huge reading on my wow-o-meter. --Алый Король (talk) 09:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info Artist’s impression which shows two galaxies in the early Universe. The brilliant explosion on the left is a gamma-ray burst. As the light from the burst passes through the two galaxies some colours are absorbed by the cool gas in the galaxies, leaving characteristic dark lines in the spectrum. The study of these spectra allowed astronomers to discover that these two galaxies are remarkably rich in heavier chemical elements. More info and the name of the two galaxies at this article in ESO website.

Support great pic! Béria Lima ^msg 21:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose So overcooked it got burnt. The image quality is awful and nowhere near FP. This was taken 5 years ago, not 100, and could be taken again anytime, so it doesn't meet any exceptions for historical images imo. While a dark sky and bright crosses is possible naturally (see this) I'm sceptical about the natural darkness of the grass surrounding front and sides of the cemetery but not behind it (see also this). That is too convenient to highlight the white crosses and fence yet still show the dark structures to the rear. It seems to me this image has, like many WLM contestants, strayed too far into manipulated artwork and away from reality. The image has been through Photoshop, so I'd be interested to know what retouching it has received. It could certainly have done with some NR. Colin (talk) 22:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- IMO, by this line of argument, most of Ansel Adams' images would not make it past the FPC screening. He spent a great deal of time dodging and burning and otherwise manipulating "reality" to fit his intentions. I think that shouldn't categorically exclude an image. For me this image brings to mind Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which has been manipulated significantly to bring out the contrast of blacks and whites (a search online will show lots of different variations of the prints based on when he made them, with the more contrasty, less "real" ones fetching significantly more money from collectors). Just to say that my impression is that too much attention to technical minutia can sometimes obscure the impact of a photo. Some of the most famous (and IMO most moving) photographs in history were technically flawed. Sorry to go on, but this is what struck me about this discussion. I mean my comments in good faith and with due respect. Almonroth (talk) 23:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - No need to apologise. This is something worth considering as it affects the purpose of FP. There are three aspects here. The technical quality, manipulation and project scope. Ansel Adams's Moonrise has been printed at any size from 16 x 20 in. up to 40 x 60 in. (source). Five feet across! (1.5 m). I think his photograph is on quite a different level, quality-wise, to this one. This photo could probably be reworked if the raw is available to improve on the noise which is fairly offensive at 100%. At 50% the noise is eliminated but its lack of resolution, detail or tonal subtleties is covered up by the conversion to black and white, which forgives many sins. It becomes an "arty" picture, where we are less concerned with seeing blades of grass but more of the impression given. And it is a powerful picture from that point of view. As for manipulation, the FP criteria state "Unmentioned or misrepresented manipulations, or manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable." and "Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in a photographic image is generally acceptable, provided it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive." My guess is the grass in this field has been extensively darkened to provide a contrast with the white fence and crosses and therefore misrepresents the subject for the sake of art. If the photograph description page provided details of what manipulations had been done, then possibly the reaction would be different. Consider the 2012 Take a View Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards disqualified winner. Does WLM have guidelines on manipulation? As for project scope, I think FP is rightly biased towards educational images that are minimally manipulated and away from images that are attractive merely for being works of art. And perhaps Ansel Adams wouldn't get an FP for all his pics, and is that such a bad thing? After all, Commons is meeting a need for educational images, there are plenty other photography sites that only value the artistic. Colin (talk) 11:00, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good document. Bad technical quality. I fully agree with Colin. As a non native english speaker, it is difficult for me to detail my opinion, but I have exactly the same opinions, especially about the project scope of FP, and more generally, the scope of "Commons". Moreover and furthermore, that's why I think that the WLM contests, because of their results, focusing excessively on an "artsy" vision of photography, are actually a bad thing for "Commons", and are "out of our scope". Did you notice that a lot of WLM winners (not all) failed to pass the FP bar and even the QI bar ? It is very disturbing for me... I think the WLM contests rules should follow more strictly in the future the Commons Images Guidelines.--Jebulon (talk) 10:17, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info Originally discovered from Australia by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop early in the nineteenth century, NGC 300 is one of the closest and most prominent spiral galaxies in the southern skies and is bright enough to be seen easily in binoculars. It lies in the inconspicuous constellation of Sculptor. NGC 300 is the home of many interesting astronomical phenomena that have been studied. NGC 300 and another galaxy, NGC 55, are slowly spinning around and towards each other, in the early stages of a lengthy merging process. ESO astronomers recently discovered the most distant and one of the most massive stellar-mass black holes yet found in this galaxy, as the partner of a hot and luminous Wolf–Rayet star in a binary system.

Question Why have you downsampled the previous version so dramatically? I think it is a pity. There is more information in the revision before this one. Although the downsampling gives you a better pixel-by-pixel quality, you also loose many pixels, and thus information. --Slaunger (talk) 21:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not too many important data in the other version, the other version is basically a stretched version and noisy. If you think you can do better, I invite you. I consider that to be a disposable camera, she has done quite well --The Photographer (talk) 22:09, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When I first saw the image on VIC page, it was annotated that the man in red dress is The Photographer himself and now the annotation is deleted (file history can be checked). If the original file from which this derivative work came is checked, that file is still annotated that the man in red dress is The Photographer himself. If that is the case, then The Photographer is not the author, is he? This is not QIC, so the nomination is valid, but should the author name not change (and who is the author?)? It can be taken with a tripod and self-shutter, but is it the ideal condition for doing that? I'm not attacking or hounding anyone but I noticed the file annotations and these questions came to my mind. -- JDP90 (talk) 18:37, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some photographs can not be taken directly as in the case of HDR, long exposure. In this case, I took myself to set the distance between one person and another.

- That probably points out at the deficiency of the judging process then --Dey.sandip (talk) 20:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - From what I can tell, QIC focuses only on technical quality (up to a point, e.g. it can't be so lacking in "wow" factor that no one bothers to review it in 8 days), while WLM focuses only on "wow" factor (up to a point, e.g. it can't look like junk at 1 MP). FPC requires both. So I don't think it's fair to criticize the judges of WLM when the criteria for WLM and FPC are different. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I am not really trying to criticize any one, but if I remember correctly WLM listed technical quality as one of the important parameters of judging.

Alternative

Being the winner of WLM2012 we should give it a try. I have reduced noise (both chromatic and non-chromatic), corrected the perspective (adjusting the crop), reduced the overexposed areas and increased contrast a bit Poco a poco (talk) 19:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The composition is excellent and from a creative standpoint the image is near-perfect, so I can completely see why it won the WLM2012 competition.

weak oppose - A great motive, sharp photo but I personally do not like the harsh "flash look". On the skin of the frog and around the frog on the floor are remarkable flash reflections. Did you use the build-in camera flash or an external one?

Oppose Boring. A man in a grey suit against a gray background. The image fails to tell me who or what he is and does. Even armed with that knowledge, after reading the description, i fail to find the image engaging or compelling. Kleuske (talk) 14:01, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you tell me what kind of portrait would suit a serious politician who, as far as I can tell, is responsible for transport in his party? This is a portrait, not a newspaper shot of him giving a speech at a conference (which is a clichéd image of a politician). I think there are sometimes unrealistic expectations of portraits, or there's a desire that a portrait tells you something about the person (when in fact it may do no such thing, and just reinforce the impression the photographer wants to give, or the viewer thinks they see). Colin (talk) 10:57, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If he's responsable for transport, i would like some reference to transport in the image. So take the guy out of the studio and take him to a subway/railway station, a bridge, a road... Something. If a portrait is limited to "here's a guy looking earnestly into the lens", portaits are boring, no matter what the technical quality. It leaves nothing in the image to seriously look at, except the pimples on his nose. Kleuske (talk) 12:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to write-off an entire class of images, because you find them boring, then I suggest you refrain from voting on them. He's currently responsible for transport. Next month he could be responsible for justice and the next year media regulation. To suggest that his current portfolio should be represented in any featured-quality image is naive. Should this lady and this couple be wearing crowns? -- Colin (talk) 12:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not writing of an entire class of anything. I objected on specific grounds to this portrait and supported another, more interesting portrait quite recently. Crowned heads or otherwise, I don't give a [bleep] about who's depicted, as long as the portrait really tells me something about them. This image doesn't. It's a bland, generic image. Boring. Kleuske (talk) 12:56, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you are writing off the formal portrait, which is a class of image and doesn't resort to ridiculous gimmicks like shooting the transport politician on the bus. Colin (talk) 14:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you're fiercely attacking a strawman. Kleuske (talk) 14:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever. I wasn't the one that suggested taking the transport politician to the railway station in order "to tell me who or what he is and does". That's such a basic error I'd strongly oppose such an image. Colin (talk) 15:20, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure... Next time wait for the image before opposing it. Strongly. Kleuske (talk) 15:28, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative with colour moire fix

Support This version uses Lightroom's moire adjustment brush to remove the false colour moire produced by the interaction between the fabric pattern and the Bayer filter on the sensor. At 100% there is not a huge amount of pattern moire, considering the problems faced by the very fine pattern on the suit and shirt. The moire you see in the preview window is an artefact of the resizing algorithm, and not a fault in the image. This is a very difficult image to view properly on a screen and perversely is best judged at 100%. As for the portrait, I think this is a fine portrait of a serious subject. -- Colin (talk) 10:57, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Far much better indeed, but still strong moire on the shirt, chromatic noise on the tie and on the suit, and... I don't find this kind of professional portrait interesting.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it is well below the required 2 megapixels, the crop is rather inartistic - the focus of the image is the crease between pages - and the colours appear a bit off - white and pink are not expected colours for mediaeval manuscripts.

Neutral The image quality is, unfortunately, far from perfect. The chromatic aberration effects are clearly visible on the edges of the telescopes, and the noise is very obvious. CA affects also the stars - each gets different colours on the left and right sides. It would be nice to develop the RAW file again and mitigate these problems. I think, that the noise can be reduced. Correction of the CA could make the stars appear more bright and clear. It would also be nice to have the EXIF data... Regarding the subject - it is brilliant! I always dreamed to shoot a photo like this, but... This is REALLY HARD, since you must have good lens and camera, prevent them from getting wet, control battery charge, use manual focusing and long exposure; stars are moving on the sky, so you should use high ISO setting. And it is usually terribly cold at night, especially at such altitude. I really would like to say, that the photo is great, but it should be improved. --Ximeg (talk) 17:35, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Aeneas, supporting his old father Anchises, escapes from burning Troy. Anchises carries the palladium, image of Athena Pallas, wich will become the sacred emblem of the Romans. This marble group (ca.1697), nice example of the 17th-century french sculpture, suffered from more than 250 years of erosion, as it stayed outside, in the park of the Tuileries castle.

Oppose Too easy, nothing complex to do, simply copy and paste --The Photographer (talk) 11:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think it's as easy as implied above (and it's definitely not "simply copy and paste"), and even though, that would not be the point. Now, I see little typography issue: you should at least increase the space between main captions and the accompanying details. If possible, I would enlarge canvas to give more room around captions. - Benh (talk) 18:04, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Move to oppose. You converted texts to path, reducing usefulness of SVG. The font you use doesn't seem "standard (and I was surprised it rendered so well on my browser). So either you switch to standard one or you could incorporate it (apparently, there are some tricks for doing so in SVG, but I've never tried). - Benh (talk) 18:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a version with editable text available that is linked to from the main file. I do not use the default Deja Vu font, as it renders extremely poorly (probably due to overly aggressive hinting).

The reason it rendered so well on your browser is precisely because the text is paths, and therefore unhinted. Hinting in moderation makes the text more readable at small sizes, at the cost of æsthetics, and on windows machines, can result in visible jaggedness and deformities. There are also issues with multiple font weights and kerning(which causes the text to collide with the graphics or get cut off).—Kelvinsong (talk) 20:23, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentionned, it seems possible to embed the font into the SVG (the way you'd do to embed a PNG) by using base64 encoding, but this seems to require some hack. Otherwise, I think it's better to assess the editable version instead. I'm not fan of the deja vu font either, but I think it's OK. Maybe it's also possible to specify Helvetica and, as a substitute, Arial, which is sure to work on most computer (it's also possible to specify URW Nimbus Sans, an Helvetica clone, which is included in most Linux as far as I know). I think Helvetica renders quite nicely, and Arial is also fine although despised by some people. My other comment about typography issues still stands. - Benh (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know how to embed fonts, and I'm not sure if its legal either. I've heard that it doesn't work with Mediawiki too. I think it's fine to have the text as paths and provide an editable text file alongside it—if you need to make substantial changes(such as a translation) to the text, it will probably radically alter the shape of the text regardless of the font, and if it's just a typo fix, it should not be too difficult to just copy and paste a letter. Most computers also don't have the variety of fontweights like the light versions that I make liberal use of(yes, they are necessary to form a sort of "hierarchy"—to demote less important stuff like alternative names and footnotes).

Again, remember that there is an editable text version that already exists—it's not the prettiest, but I thought the purpose of editable text versions was the textual content, not the typographical setting.—Kelvinsong (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where you bought your font, but if it's from adobe, you can embed it in anything. Now I did mention Arial/Helvetica because if you make them render fine, it will render fine on most computer. For instance, I don't have Deja vu on my Mac, and it renders with Times instead, which gives something pretty ugly. SVG allows you to specify a set of font and the order of preference. I don't know how to do it in Inkscape, but it should be possible from a text editor. I will try on your editable version maybe. It is not compulsory that we have the fonts on our machines if we're fine with the PNG generated by Wikimedia servers. And they have all the fonts we mention above (but not the Frutiger one of course ;) ). - Benh (talk) 22:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question Which font did you use by the way ? - Benh (talk) 21:47, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is called Frutiger. One of those fonts you probably see everywhere(airports, state tests, posters, flyers, textbooks, commercials, signs) but never really recognized. If you don't have it, you can use alternatives called Myriad, CartoGothic, or Segoe UI which are nearly the same. All Windows users already have Segoe, CartoGothic is free to download, and Linux users probably know how to get Myriad and Frutiger. ;)—Kelvinsong (talk) 22:09, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's too much to ask a user to get a font to see a drawing the way it was intended to be ;) that's why I recommend going with ubiquitous ones (if cannot embed). - Benh (talk) 22:31, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If all one wants to do is view the picture, then path-text should be fine, and is the best—most browsers do not allow you to select SVG text anyways. If one wants to edit the picture, that's what the editable text version is for.—Kelvinsong (talk) 23:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but since the editable version is easier to handle, it's going to be more useful. What do we do if you leave the project? Are we stuck with the editable version which renders very bad because Inkscape produces dirty SVG with plenty of parameters we don't need? So it's better we start using the editable version now and make it clean from scratch. Otherwise it's as good you provide bitmap. By the way, I just successfully embed a font in SVG file. If you are interested and have a UNIX (this includes Mac OS X) and base64 utility, I can let you know how (if you have Windows or other, I don't know...). - Benh (talk) 23:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm unfortunately, Inkscape doesn't seem to read embedded font well, and I'm pretty much sure Wikimedia servers use it to render the PNG (it's callable from command line) (or have they already switched to librsvg2?). So if the SVG would render fine in a decent browser, the generated thumbnails won't look as good. Anyways, I've said enough on that. In short, SVG a more pig to handle than anything as of now :). - Benh (talk) 23:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks, Lothar. I appreciate your passionate support to my photo, and I also really love it myself, and would of course have liked to see it featured. You know, it could have been promoted if I had not abstained but supported instead, but I prefer if featured pictures of mine are promoted with a good margin, so I think it is OK. Only about 1 in 3000 images on Commons gets featured, so better one too few than one too many. That said, I agree with you that sometimes what reviewers favor seems a little one-sided. There are certain kinds of "cute" subjects, which just naturally attract more attention and support.

Comment I like the captured moment but the ellbow in the left side is spoling the moment IMO. Although the tyres would be also partially cut off, I'd crop the left side to get rid of the ellbow and maybe also of the guy in red Poco a poco (talk) 11:06, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion the ellbow of the photographer is a welcome foreground which gives some depth to the scene and the red jacket is an enlivening dot. But of course it is a matter of taste. I would be glad if you nevertheless could find my photo good. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 18:13, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think, you should write "RNA" in capital letters, since it is an acronym. Moreover, my initial feeling was: "ma transcription... What?!" --Ximeg (talk) 08:20, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean—I've fixed the titles.—Kelvinsong (talk) 20:19, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Again, it's very nice work and aesthetic and my vote won't change anything, but i'd promote the editable version instead . It's already there after all... Also a bit cluttered (though certainly informative) and agree with the above. - Benh (talk) 09:03, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still, leaving it as text means no multiple weights—as you can see, it strips out all of the light and demi text, and most of the bold text. Also issues with italicized words italicizing up the whole line(See step 1 on the translation one). Browsers also seem to ignore the letter kerning in addition.

As for it being cluttered, I am always confused by textbooks which label complex diagrams with numbers and put a paragraph key somewhere off to the side—for me anyway, it saves me a great deal of confusion if the pictures are just put with the text instead forcing you to imagine invisible arrows.—Kelvinsong (talk) 20:19, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For cluttered, I can understand ur point. That's not my reason for oppose. But what happens below is precisely what I'm pointing at: we need you for any translation. Many diagrams on wikipedia are translated by someone else than author. As for the weight we have regular and bold for many typefaces and even the fancy extralight semibold and others for some. Maybe wikimedia servers now have the Source Sans Pro which has been open sourced by adobe. It's very very nice and has most weights you could dream off ;) Same for Google's Open Sans. I'll give it a try with one of your editable diagram when I have time. - Benh (talk) 23:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

this seems to be a promising alternative (import fonts from google web font, see last answer, much easier than the base 64 embedding I mentioned before), it should work on most computers (but not on Inkscape) ! And if someone really wants to edit the svg itself, we could tell her/him to install the fonts. But I still think the simplest is to use common fonts. - Benh (talk) 23:20, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into creating an alternative with Open Sans(there are many things I like about the font, several I don't), maybe merge the two files by having the editable Open sans text invisible(zero alpha, or white for the simpler pictures) and the original Frutiger underneath—Kelvinsong (talk) 02:30, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A problem I've realized—the way I work with fonts is I rename them in fontforge, so each weight is its own font instead of being part of a larger family, because Inkscape will not recognize any weights other than regular and bold. Example—Source Sans Regular (Family—Source Sans) I rename to Source Sans 55 Regular (Family—Source Sans 55), Source Sans Light (Family—Source Sans)→Source Sans 35 (Family—Source Sans 35), etc, so they show up in the font menu like

Source Sans 15

Source Sans 25

Source Sans 35

Source Sans 45

Source Sans 55

Source Sans 65

Source Sans 75, etc.

These are bound to be missed by the mediawiki renderer, and anyone else trying to edit them...—Kelvinsong (talk) 21:01, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Undermining of PD-Art. Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 18:46, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The thing is, PD-Art isn't actually law in most countries. Wikipedia is arguably acting as an agent provocateur, using the fact it cannot be sued due to America's laws to encourage other places to come up with similar rules. The CC-licence protects the reusers far more than Wikipedia's usual policy of encouraging people to risk getting sued. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:21, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, but I don't see the "featured" aspect of this photo. The composition is OK but not great (in particular, the lines don't really draw you into the center of the composition), and there are quality issues around highlight areas (CA, softness). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:46, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose High educational and encyclopedic value (in France...), but otherwise I agree with King of Hearts. It is an old classroom with an historical plaque... There are some magenta flares around the lamps, the left part is noisy, the picture is very soft, and the composition is not really appealing to me. Not that sharp, I'm afraid.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: GFDL-1.2 is not an acceptable license.

They are different pictures, true. But in my opinion it would be unnecessary to make another nomination for the second. If in a hypothetical situation both pictures had all the required support votes they would both become Featured pictures. The result would be a bit silly because the subject is quite much the same in both pictures. Now it's either-or situation as the other is an alternative. It sounds good enough for me if one (not both) becomes featured. Either one or neither. --Ximonic (talk) 18:53, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think it would be more useful an image if the restoration went further (as an alternative file). The fingerprint, the crack at the top, the crease in the bottom right, the mark in the bottom left, the overall rotation and, yes, to crop. I don't think those defects add to the image. Colin (talk) 17:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To each his own. I do think retouching too much damages the image, like polishing old brass to shine destroys the patina and can turn a valuable antique virtually worthless. You expect a century's worth of defects in a 1910 image that's been in the archive all the time. Compliments for noticing the fingerprint, b.t.w. I have surmised it might be that of the photographer, but there's no way to verify that. Probably just some lab or archive guy, anyway. Consider it an image of an antique photo of two newsies instead of an image of two newsies. History matters in this case, hence I tend to respect the defects incurred over the course of a century. I do not try to make it a 21st century image. Kleuske (talk) 17:47, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - You've got your nostalgia hat on. The photographer didn't deliberately crease and tear the photograph, or mount it at an angle in the scanner. There are two pictures here: the one the photographer took and the one in an album 100 years later. I prefer the former, and I'm sure the photographer would too. Colin (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2012 (UTC) Just remembered all those awful camera-phone apps that deliberately ruin your photos so their as bad as your big brother's polaroid from the '70s. Hmm. -- Colin (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Trying to make a 1910 image look like a fresh, modern picture is much the same as taking a modern picture and trying to make it look like a 70's polaroid image. Both are kitsch, trying to be what they are not. Trying to recruit the (deceased) photographer on anyones side is not a debating technique I find laudable or acceptable, b.t.w. Kleuske (talk) 11:58, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Well nostalgia may be the wrong word, but your comparison is not the one I am making. Nobody is suggesting a "modern picture" and picture restoration is not "kitsch". Your decision to do a halfway job merely reflects your taste preference for "looking a bit old and worn". There's no objective reason to prefer a damaged picture: nobody, upon finding a well archived old photograph, cries with despair at its mint condition. As for your last comment, I prefer to comment on pictures than get worked up about "debating technique" whatever that may be. I haven't voted, so if you find my thoughts on the matter unacceptable the just ignore them rather than get all grumpy. Colin (talk) 13:50, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        There's no objective reason to prefer anything. There's no objective reason to prefer a fully restored image, there are no objective reasons to feature any picture, only subjective ones. That's fine by me. Preferences are notoriously subjective and they should be. You chose to give your opinion, to which you are entitled, i gave my reasons to have a different one. That's not "grumpy", that does not make my work "a halfway job", that's having a different opinion than you do. If you do not like people having different opinions, do not provide yours, since people are bound to disagree. Kleuske (talk) 14:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Hmm. I have no problem with us having different opinions. In fact I am interested in your opinion and rather hoped you might be in mine. Why might any two people discuss their opinions? Internet debate tends to think that the discussion of opinions must always be adversarial: one side wishes to change the other person's view and this leads to folk getting defensive or to attack someone's "debating technique" or point out logical falacies. These things bore me. Avoiding conflict was why I didn't vote over something that is just my taste. I'm absolutely not debating, and there's no reason for you to be defensive as there's no vote resting on any outcome (which I don't seek anyway). The question over whether the picture as taken and developed by the photographer is "objectively" preferential is probably best left to some student essay. I find it interesting that all efforts at archival aim to maintain the original state and yet we all at times express a preference for something deteriorated. Cheers, Colin (talk) 15:49, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        If I weren't interested in your opinions, i would not have taken the time to read and digest them and motivate my decision to leave the imperfections as they are. I would have ignored you. The last sentence, again, arouses my interest, but i won't drag on. You say "deteriorated", i say "used and handled for a century". I like history. Kleuske (talk) 18:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Apropos "looking a bit old and worn"... I have never expressed such a preference and i usually don't like my images like that. I positively loath it if it's done artificially.

Alternative

Comment Perhaps this can create some middle ground. The crop was off, so i gave the image some room to breathe and changed the format to jpeg. This is as much about photography in 1910 as it is about the two newsies. Back when it was not digital, but chemical and an archive meant rows and rows of filingcabinets instead of a database. All very much hands on. The imperfectections (crack, fold, fingerprint, somewhat shifty framing, the white border, somewhat damaged) stem from that. Removing them would lessen the value of the image, as it removes a layer of history. Kleuske (talk) 18:05, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Needs a crop and more editing. Yann (talk) 19:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like the composition and the landscape. But the dynamic range was not held correctly. Mountains and lake are important here, but I hardly distiguish them in the darkness. The street lights are overexposed. The image lacks sharpness in the top upper corner, since you used cheap kit lens with f/3.5 aperture. You definitely used tripod, so it would be much better to make 30s exposure and close aperture to f/8, where it has the maximum performance. Also the purple fringes around lights are visible, which can be reduced by means of small aperture and post-processing. It would be very nice to retake this photo, may be with HDR technique or right after the sunset, when the mountains are still visible, or may be under the full moon. --Ximeg (talk) 18:07, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The saturation is not "slightly" overdone, it IS overdone (even for my tastes). The sharpness just isn't enough even for a QI. On the clouds, there are strange blueish haloes. Over-process is pretty obvious here. --A.Savin 10:01, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Worth picture. I didn't get one thing. It is stated "Date - circa 1920", and in the text "It was done in 1948". Does it mean that the image has been painting over 28 years?! --Ximeg (talk) 13:04, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- InfoSomething is wrong somewhere, indeed. J.Perón was President of the Argentinian Nation for the first time since 1946 (he wears the presidential sash on the picture). He married Eva Duarte in 1945. Born in 1919, she died in 1952. So this painting, maybe made in 1948, represents a period between 1946 ( beginning of the first Perón's presidency), and 1952, (death of Evita). The date of 1920 is senseless. Don't cry for me Argentina.--Jebulon (talk) 23:03, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- Nice composition but poor image quality. Most of the picture is unsharp (unfocused?) and the buildings at right are leaning. The exposure choice is not the best for the scene and suggests that the automatic mode was used. A more generous depth of fiels would be achieved with a smaller aperture (larger f number). Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, f/9 on a crop sensor is perfectly fine for this kind of shot, and it's also not too small that diffraction kicks in. I think this is just general unsharpness for some reason or another. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:31, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination I only noticed it now; all of my pictures lost on sharpness - probably that has something to do with the usage of older lens (in lieu of the kit ones which got in touch with water... and therefore doesn't function anymore). Btw; I take nearly all pictures using manual mode so F/9 was a conscious decision. --Miha (talk) 23:29, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
