sorry Wikimol but the edit version is really splendid. no? Tatoute 23:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is lenghty discussion about it at en:Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica. If you want my opinion, the edit does no good to both the atmosphere and realism of the photo ...obviously I would support it if it was the only version. You may say I have double standard - which is absolutely true. When voting in FPC I usualy compare the candidate with what else is availiable on the subject. (Which is also why I have different demands on a FPC eg. of the Statue of Liberty and FPC of a volcanic eruption) --Wikimol 00:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

View of Las Médulas, León, Spain
Actually, it isn't leaning; fog often looks sloping like this. The trees are a better indication; if anything, they are leaning the other way (and look badly so in the revised version below) - MPF 22:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Changed my oppose to neutral since my complaints were addressed, but I'm still not enthusiastic about the pic :-) --Dschwen 14:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know about the as-big-as-possible policy. I'll replace it asap (I have to wait for the original to be sent to me) and if the author (who has got 2 other very similar pics) states that the sloping is a fact (I agree it looks like it but I am still in doubt... you should see the place in location, and the horizon is not the hills themselves but behind them) I'll rotate it accordingly, as well. Thanx for your helpful impressions :) --Piolinfax 10:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- YolanC 08:35, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The fog is not a very reliable feature but, anyway, when having a look to the main patches of fog in the original pic with the Gimp guidelines (which are totally parallel to the top of the pic), one can see that they are in different levels (a logical thing in such a hilly environment, by the way). I edited three pictures rotating the original 0,5; 0,75 and 2 degrees anti-clockwise and then I checked the fog with the guidelines again. It's then when the fog seems to be going up from left to right. Check it yourselves. If it finally had to be edited, I wouldn't rotate it more than 0'3 degrees. The other similar pictures Rafael did support this view. The so-called sloping is just an optical effect. Given the fact that this picture is likely to be used for encyclopedic (and not artistic or aesthetic) purposes, my "ballot" goes for the non edited version. --Piolinfax 15:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, the legs are gone, but this subject is not a one in a lifetime chance. I'd rather have a picture featured which is right from the start. The edit looks ok at first glance, but has some noticable flaws. Strange variations in sharpness and hue and a washed out part of the snow plume. --Dschwen 14:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A young girl kisses a baby on the cheek.

Picture of the day on Valentine's :). Thought it would be fitting for this to be a featured picture before the big day comes.

I fail to see how this has anything to do with pedophilia. It's only a picture of 2 kids. And how is it vulgar and in bad taste? --65.95.201.142 04:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with pedophilia, I was merely mocking both the usual chant of people who would, say, see a teddy bear on an image depicting grow-ups making love, and the fascination for "childish innocence". That said, I consider the image vulgar because there are gazillions of postcards showing precisely this, all of them being certain that they are very cute, and most, if not all of them, being very wrong. Vulgarity is just this: doing exactly what others do, because they do it, without thinking any further. Children kissing are not cute, they are sticky. Rama 01:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the word you're looking for is cliché or kitsch, but I don't see how this picture in particular is very wrong. --64.231.212.208 07:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We've been doing it like this for ages is a really weak argument, especially since the policy is pretty new. Commons supports the SVG only for a few months now. Don't feel offended by the oppose, provide an SVG version and I'll happily support. (check SVG Factory if your mapping software does not support SVG). --Dschwen 18:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Try Inkscape or Sodipodi, both are free. Or Adobe Illustrator if you own it. I didn't make up the rule, but it is a fact, that the desired format for vector graphics is SVG. And frankly there are good arguments against it. --Dschwen 18:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

and  Support. The picture shows a flourescent lamp with segmental reflectors. The background is necessarily black, otherwise the lamp would be too bright. Roger McLassus 11:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
How can you tell the colour of my lamp? -:) Seriously - the colour is intended, because the luminosity of the lamp is reduced to enhance its visibility. This reduction means a decrease in ratiation temperature and therefore a redshift according to the laws of physics. Apart from this, the topic of my picture is not the flourescent lamp but the segmental reflection with leads to the (at least for me) attractive effect of repetition. Roger McLassus 09:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ehrmmm... "redshift" is something else (check the wikilink). And it's only incandescent lamps that get really reddish when dimmed. This is fluorescent, right? I bet the color is more due to the color temperature setting on your camera. --Janke | Talk 08:56, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your reply made it clear to me that I misformulated what I wanted to say. I didn't manipulate the lamp itself, only its apparent luminosity by selecting a very short exposure time. By the way: I didn't mean the redshift of the Wikipedia-article (I am a physicist myself and quite familiar with this concept). The word "redshift" has more meanings, some of which you find listed under red shift, but the use of one or the other spelling is rather arbitrary. Roger McLassus 15:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Ummm, are we now voting on paintings from the 19th century?!--Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 03:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of featured pictures already that are old maps or diagrams or other non-photographic images. Why wouldn't we vote on a 19th century lithographic, if it's interesting, attractive, and historically significant? It's about to become a FP on English Wikipedia, 14 to 0.--Ragesoss 05:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok well it's just that there's a ton of lovely lovely paintings here on Commons by the great masters and the not-so-well-known masters - would it be okay to start nominating them or will the angry mob crush me if I do? Well, not that I am absolutely going to, now that I think of it - it's kind of pointless, isn't it... oh well. --Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 02:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would certainly be likely to support such images, if they are hi-res and high quality. But I'm pretty new to this process; maybe there really is a policy or consensus against that/this kind of thing.--Ragesoss 05:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support This is a typical encyclopedic illustration of its era. Beautiful lithography! --Janke | Talk 08:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Before I decide I'd like to learn about these horizontal lines in the centre. Are they scanner-artefacts or part of the picture? Since only one of the many objects on the picture is scratched in this way, they probabely were already on the scanned print. But they make no sense to me. Calderwood 09:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are either artifacts of the original lithographic process or actually part of the original template. In any case, they are not scanner artifacts (and neither is the diagonal pattern that can be seen when you view it at full resolution)--Ragesoss 18:04, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Upon further investigation, I found that other scans elsewhere, from other copies, also have those horizontal lines.--Ragesoss 03:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You know, the techniques used for lithography were truly amazing, sometimes a dozen stone plates were prepared for as many printing colors, and the artist had to do the colour separation in his mind! The lines are the actual handiwork of the artist - sometime they used tools, like finely toothed steel knives, to scratch in details of their design. --Janke | Talk 08:40, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
