Comment I'm not a fan of this way of having an 'Alt' right from the start, leaving it to the voters to select the best photo. Part of the nominating process is to select the very best photo and nominate it. Going unchecked, we'd end up with constant double, trippel or perhaps quadruple noms from users hedging their bets or not able to make up their mind. --Cart (talk) 11:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I couldn't decide. --Hockei (talk) 12:17, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I can't decide, either. What's the difference between the two? Also, I always thought of these as seeds, not fruits. What part (other than the stem, roots, etc.) isn't seeds? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:23, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The DOF is the difference. The motive is more isolated from the background when using F8 instead F13. The price is that the sharpness in the blossom isn't so deep too. --Hockei (talk) 15:33, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I don't see enough of a difference to pick between them, so I'll support both. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:07, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment that's fascinating, any more info on this thing? It seems that Violão is just the regular Brazilian word for guitar, but this is something special. It looks like some kind of modified en:resonator guitar. It has 7 strings instead of the regular 6, and two of them are playing high notes while being located above the bass strings. That's really unusual on a guitar, although both ukulele and five-string banjo have one (but only one) of these. Weird! --El Grafo (talk) 10:46, 27 January 2020 (UTC) PS: Maybe consider re-naming to something like [[:File:Man playing acoustic brazilian guitar (Violão) on Marco Zero Square, Refice, Pernambuco, Brazil.jpg]] ("Men" → "Man") after the nomination has finished and been processed.[reply]

Done Thanks El Grafo, Answering your question, I have been researching this guitar and I think it is not documented, it seems to be a type of guitar manufactured in this State of Brazil. I'm going to try to contact the locals through friends to get more information and later I will give you a feedback. --Wilfredor (talk) 13:18, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilfredor: After taking a closer look, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a one-of-a-kind piece that was frankensteined together from different parts. It kind of looks like this was a regular classical/spanish guitar in the beginning, but then the sound hole was filled and a larger hole cut to fit in the resonator. There's a noticeable change in wood where the sound hole and surrounding rosette would be expected; and the radius at the bottom of the fret board does not fit the radius of the resonator. The pickguard obviously was added later as well. Dang, I wish I could see the rest of it, I wish I could hear it … --El Grafo (talk) 14:20, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This type of guitar is quite common, that is, it was not just this guitar, I have seen this type of alteration in other guitars. I took more photos of this person (they are village singers who pass between home and house during Christmas performing varied songs), I also made a recording of the same instrument requesting the appropriate permission. The songs that they sing are generally improvised with phrases related to the moment and that have rhyme, with a jocular touch. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:32, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

El Grafo please, take a look to this guitar, It took me time to remember but I knew I had seen similar guitars before --Wilfredor (talk) 23:44, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support but per El Grafo. --Cart (talk) 11:44, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support I might be biased because I'm totally fascinated by the instrument, but I think this works as a picture. --El Grafo (talk) 14:20, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Info Wilfredor (and anyone else) please do not re-name files and more around pages with redirects and stuff during a nomination. It will really mess up the codes that organize the FPs. Do all such thing after the nomination is closed. Please! I will clean upp this mess now for you, but do keep that in mind in the future. --Cart (talk) 14:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cart I'm very sorry, I didn't know that this could cause a problem, this is my fault. This will not happen again --Wilfredor (talk) 15:14, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear. That is why El Grafo wrote: "Maybe consider re-naming... ...after the nomination has finished and been processed." It is wise to read all of the advice when it is given. Here is another advice: Write your file names in Spanish (or Portuguese) like many other users do, since you do make mistakes from time to time with the English language. Spanish is a great language and works just as well as English for photo titles. --Cart (talk) 15:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cart, I had not read the full El Grafo comment and after that I always confuse it with "antes" (before on spanish) because its similarity in vowels with "after". I usually put names in English because I think that Google could find them easily for a wider audience, my mistake was to copy the name of the category and try to use it as a file name. --Wilfredor (talk) 15:36, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good picture with nice light but I don't see anything special about the composition or subject to make it FP. It looks like it might be tilted, although that's hard to tell given that there aren't really any points of reference here. Cmao20 (talk) 10:54, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question: what prompted the choice of such a long exposure (8 seconds)? It made the sea look very weird and unnatural, especially the strange lines on the bottom. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 22:36, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question - That's not ice? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:44, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The south coast of Iceland doesn't freeze even in winter, and this was taken at the end of May. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 23:18, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. The white is guano, bird droppings. Bird colonies in places like this always "paint" the rocks white. Like in this case. Category added. --Cart (talk) 23:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I was seeing streaks in the ice. Oh well. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a long exposure photo (8s) so the "streaks in the ice" are just birds flying, illuminated by the low rising sun. They become "bird streaks", same as light streaks in other photos. Things always get a bit strange at long exposure. --Cart (talk) 05:18, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - With that not being ice, I feel like the photo has a misleading appearance and I'm not that happy about it anymore, so I've crossed out my previous supporting vote and will consider whether to vote against or not. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've decided to Oppose on this basis. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:13, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Hi there and thanks for the nomination and the discussion. All the white spots in the picture are actually seagulls and a few other kinds of birds. I chose longer exposure because some of them were flying all around the frame of the photo, even quite close to the lens. Having shorter times, there were many visible trajectories and wierd blurred spots. So just 2 clarify :) -- Jakub Fryš (talk) 13:23, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too irritating with the bright streaks (even on front of the rocks). Contrast too harsh. --Kreuz schnabel 21:34, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Don't understand, why it was really needed to expose 8 sec. Also (or therefore) nothing really sharp. Halo around the right rock. -- -donald- (talk) 07:46, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The red category is automatically linked to/created by the Russian WLM template system and I don't think we can fiddle with it. --Cart (talk) 15:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question Is there any way to turn it into a blue link? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:58, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not a good idea, it is such an ambiguous number, it would be totally meaningless. It comes from the monument ID for those monuments. However, there are plenty of other countries with similar numbers, even the same, so we'd end up with a category of monuments from around the world with that specific number and they'd have nothing in common save that number. It is a bug created by WLM Russia when they made their template, so perhaps one of our Russian users can talk to them and fix this. --Cart (talk) 18:32, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Domob - uploaded by Domob - nominated by Domob -- Domob (talk) 16:57, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This hut is quite interesting. It was built in the early 1900s in a nature and mountain-like area close to Zurich (so workers in Zurich could enjoy the mountain feeling without the need to go far away to the higher Alps). The location right on that cliff is really special. At present day, the hut is strongly in danger of collapsing / falling down (and access is forbidden for security reasons). --Domob (talk) 16:57, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The composition seems restful until you notice the random people there, taking photos and whatever. Then it's not so peaceful. The view at the twilight before dawn might be nicer? (If you can get there then.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:02, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting comment, thank you! The picture was taken in summer 2016 during an event organized at nightfall, so people are walking in the garden.

Info The Church of St. Michael and Theodore, Chernihiv.

Other way round for me, I'm afraid. The new version is IMO inferior to the previous one.

Yes, it's sleeping. That sheltered corner of the house seems to be irresistible to moths and many of them come to rest there during the day. When I see one I find beautiful or strange, I take photos of it. My camera isn't good enough to do "real" bug photography out in the wild, so I take what I can get. At least we get shots of them for the Wiki, even if they don't make FP. --Cart (talk) 10:55, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. It's an unusual FPC submission, because you can't see the moth's eyes. I agree that it's an interesting composition. I haven't decided whether the moth is sharp enough to support this nomination, though people should keep in mind that it's a small moth: per w:Small lappet moth, its size is only 35-40 mm. How true are the colors? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The colors are as true as I could get them. I made the first edits on the photos when the moth was still there so I could compare. Perhaps the other photo would be better wrt the moth, as in my reply to Daniel above, since it's sharper. I did this stacked series first, but then realized I might not have taken enough photos and the second series has twice as many photos. After that I lost the light and some time after that, the moth woke up and flew away. I just liked this compo best. --Cart (talk) 17:12, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Poco, it's tilted. It's sad an experienced photographer like you can't see that at first glance (and it's sad so many people don't notice). I like discussing technical stuffs, but not trivial ones. The farther dunes can be considered a good reference and are very tilted. The pond can be used as reference as well. - Benh (talk) 18:47, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Love that long shadow of the guy walking across the sort-of bridge between the two dunes ... Daniel Case (talk) 06:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's cool. Thanks for the hint. --Hockei (talk) 08:49, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Perhaps one way to address the harsh light that Domob mentioned would be to even out the sky gradient, so that the hotspot in the middle is not as eye-catching (e.g. by applying a couple of positive graduated filters in the corners - with a colour range mask to exclude the dunes - and then a top to bottom negative graduated filter - to create an even sky gradient). I find this technique useful to minimise the uneven sky issue in harsh light panoramas (e.g. like this one). PS: I think Poco a poco went to great lengths to avoid perspective issues in the stitching process: to my eyes, both the bystanders on the left and on the right seem to be upright. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:53, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~* Oppose~~ per Benh. The horizon in the distance seems 2.5° ccw tilted to me. Coordinates are missing to check this more closely. The people are far too small to check something on their upright gait. Otherise very good, but the alignment failed so far. --Milseburg (talk) 14:27, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Milseburg: There you are, I added the coordinates --Poco a poco (talk) 19:49, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. The desert landscape changes the relief relatively quickly. But back and forth moving dunes don't justify such a tilt. I slightly changed the coordinates for a calculated panorama to the Big Daddy Dune to show that the horizon is not so tilted anywhere in that area. --Milseburg (talk) 14:45, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose I agree with Cmao20, nothing wrong with the composition, but the technical quality of the photo paired with its rather small size and missing Exif is keeping it from becoming an FP for me.

It is also good form to wait for the FPCBot to close the nom, especially when it's a fifth-day closing so nothing untoward happens.

Support Vintage Cart, per Ikan. There are plenty of silage bales in fields around where I live given the season (i.e., not now); I'll have to shoot some someday. Daniel Case (talk) 18:36, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Happy hunting! :-) There are a lot of bales in the fields right now around here, for a sad reason. Due to global warming, we haven't had real winter so far. It should be around -10 C with frequent dips to -15 to -25 C and white snow. Instead we've had around +6 C and constant rain. The fields turned to mud fields before farmers had a chance to collect the last bales. They can't get to them since they risk getting the tractors stuck in the now very deep mud. I could probably get some really dystopian photos of the whole thing, maybe I should try, if only for awareness about small things affected by the climate change. --Cart (talk) 18:41, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We have had much the same, with a little snow (largely now remaining only in areas where it was piled up) that has not gotten very deep and than gets rained on (well, at least the aquifers are not hurting). There are some silage bales around ... they look interesting on fields of golden winter grass, I guess. Daniel Case (talk) 01:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose An interesting nomination to consider, when I have a lot of experience with my own take on this view almost two years later, along with some other Wikimedians going on that post-Wikimania Wiki Loves Pyramids trip. I really thought I could get an FP nom out of that day, but for a variety of reasons that hope faded as I got home and got to processing them (although some pictures of mine from that day, to be fair, are now QIs). One reason was that this view is so easily available to anyone with a camera who reaches the top of the Piramide del Sol that it would really take something amazing to make one of those views stand out from the rest. I didn't see it in mine and I don't see it here, I'm sorry to say.
(Meanwhile, this picture I snapped that day of another Pyramid-Loving Wikimedian using his selfie stick (I still have trouble typing that last part with a straight face) atop the pyramid has become the preferred image for "man ostentatiously using his selfie stick" not only on a number of Wikipedias and Wiktionaries but elsewhere on the Internet as well.

Weak support Nothing much at thumb but impressive at full scale. A bit too much noise reduction (could be dialed back) but the file is big so I won't be picky. I see that you took El Grafo's advice and kept one geologist handy for scale. --Cart (talk) 17:57, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry but the noise reduction is too much for me. It's an interesting subject but the details are just too smudgy at full size; I also find it possibly a bit underexposed. A better process from RAW might convince me to support. Cmao20 (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Interesting subject (although I'm not 100% sold on the composition), but indeed the technical issues (looks like too much denoising / sharpening) make this not an FP for me. --Domob (talk) 09:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Beautiful composition but the detail at full-res is not sufficient, and it seems oversharpened/given too much contrast to compensate. Your current work is a lot better than these old shots.

The photo is taken straight south in the direction of the sun, so the sky will be very bright. I didn't want to add too much artificial coloring to the scene. --Cart (talk) 16:52, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay fine.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:58, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry Cart but this one isn't interesting enough for me to support at FP. It looks like a lovely place, but the light is not exceptional and I don't like the crop at the right, it seems a bit arbitrarily cut off and I'd prefer to see a wider panorama. Cmao20 (talk) 17:20, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you might be on the right track. I wanted to focus on the river flowing south, that's why I didn't do a full pano. I've cropped it a bit to get that part in the middle and balance the photo better. Also 'ping' Famberhorst about the change. --Cart (talk) 22:14, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This change does make it a better photo, the composition looks a lot more focussed now. But I'm still not sure it's extraordinary enough for FP. I could go down to the local boating lake and take a pic that looks a lot like this one, hence it doesn't really wow me. (It's obviously QI though.) Cmao20 (talk) 12:20, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely better now, but the composition is still too busy and the light not interesting enough for me to consider it an FP. Cmao20 (talk) 11:50, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Ikan Kekek and Cmao20: I'm made some improvements - a little bit darker. --XRay ^talk 16:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I regret that while it's improved, it's still too bright for me, the sky still isn't interesting, and I more or less also agree with Cmao20 and Cart on the form.

I withdraw my nomination I think the distorsion seems all the more important as the edge at the middle is not horizontal in the architecture (follow the continuity with the red building). Then the difference between the two edges is accentuated. Perspective not corrected it gives that.

Oppose - I might support a similar composition with a less diagonal angle or something.

Oppose\ Nice overview of the track but the wow is missing for me. Is it supposed to be tilted that way? It would be nice to have the exif with info about the shot. I've filled in the FP category for you, please remember that the next time. --Cart (talk) 15:59, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Nice sky but per Cart. And the cutoff of the road at the right doesn't help. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:15, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Poor overall quality considering the low resolution, and I am pretty sure the curvature on the fence and track in the foreground isn’t real. Nice but still a bit to go for excellence. --Kreuz schnabel 19:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I have the impression that the landscape is hanging tilted in the picture and that the line in the foreground is not correct. It also bothers me that both curves are cut off on the outside. -- Spurzem (talk) 20:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The sky is lovely and very dramatic, but the quality level is not high enough for FP. Thank you for straightening the horizon, but I think the new version has been saved at too high a level of JPEG compression, as the file size is now much lower and I can see JPEG artefacts. Which camera did you use - the EXIF seems to be missing? Overall, I like the composition but I don't think the quality is good enough at this resolution.

Support Very interesting and valuable for the project. The sharpness is not quite as good in all the pics; the second and fourth pictures are clearly sharper than the first and third.

Support --The Cosmonaut (talk) 16:24, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The one I'm not sure about is the third one. This would make a great VI set nomination, except that for technical reasons, VI set nominations are no longer accepted (and I don't know what the technical reasons are or how longstanding the problem is; I just see the notice at VIC), and they're also all QIs. It's worth keeping in mind, though, that these fish are typically up to 15.2 centimetres (6 in) long per w:Symphysodon aequifasciatus, and at full size, all of these images are considerably larger than that. I think I will probably eventually support this set, but I have to think further about that one photo, as the rule is that all photos in an FPC set have to be considered FPs on their own in order to support the set. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's a fairly small fish (15-23cm). Even though the first photo is not as sharp as the others, I like the idea, resolution and other fish too much not to support it. --Podzemnik (talk) 08:01, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree this nomination doesn't seem valid for a set, like the Nazca lines candidature last July, because of the guidelines : "Not acceptable: A few breeds of cats". Similarly here we have "Some colour variants of a fish". I also miss the captions for each of them -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:16, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As this nom is quite far and I hardly believe that the set is "complete" I'll opt for Oppose for now, Poco a poco (talk) 12:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan Kekek: I'm not an expert and actually I still expect feedback from Llez on that, but it looks like the range of color of this fish is pretty wide Poco a poco (talk) 17:37, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If those are all in fact true-color photos of this species, this nomination should be voted down as identical in scope to "some breeds of cats". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See also these Canidae -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:09, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To show all colour variants, you had to nominate hundreds of photos in a set, see here. I didn't know the rule "some breeds..." is not allowed. I will nominate colour variantions separately in future and I hope, that they not will be opposed by the argument "There exists already a FP of this species". I think, it is the best to withdraw the set. So I withdraw my nomination. --Llez (talk) 08:30, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tomer T: So this nom is why you closed your own nom as 'featured' without waiting for the FPCBot to do the fifth-day closing. Why the hurry? Ok, it's not forbidden to do so, providing that you did the math correctly with the time, but it's not good form and to be on the safe side with the days, it's best to let the Bot close the nom correctly. Especially your own. Please let the system work for you, no need to push it as hard as you can. --Cart (talk) 19:18, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't see the problem. I understand it's your personal choice to wait for the bot, but there's no reason to do so - the nom was closed according to all rules. I also don't see why it's relevant in this discussion, more proper to my talk page for example or FPC talk page, where you can suggest to obligate a wait for the bot. Tomer T (talk) 19:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is relevant to this discussion, since you closed the nom to be able to open this nom. I also think it is vital that you as an admin think about what example you are setting by doing so. You may be able do do what is within the rules, but other users, not as experienced as you, might see it fit to follow your example with less good result. There are a lot of things that are not written in the rules of this forum, just good etiquette. --Cart (talk) 20:01, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let me just remind that a manual close is still an explicitly mentioned viable option in FPC. I can see why you see it as unwanted practice so I'll avoid it, but maybe we should change the guidelines. Honestly, I don't really see someone using this option wrongfully or abusively, it's just a simple 5 days count, but let it be. Tomer T (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to be honest, neither can I at the moment.

Oppose Sorry, I just don’t get the idea. Then, I read your description and found this necessary; the image does not explain itself, there’s no clear subject. The foreground rock is distracting and does not help to understand what’s going on here. Overall very noisy. I can’t see anything special here, just a snapshot of an elderly lady doing something enigmatic with a book and a pen, plus a foreground rock to fill the frame and a bit of mountain hidden behind pine trees. --Kreuz schnabel 18:51, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I most assuredly will not vote against this nom. That said, this art is leaving me cold. I looked at all of the compositions carefully, and none of them are deficient in terms of linear arabesque.

Done, at least as far as I could. It seems definitely a bit better now, but not perfect. Unfortunately this lens is quite prone to flares and CAs. --Domob (talk) 16:55, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Chaotic composition in my view, and not so interesting subject -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:05, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry but I agree with Basile on this one. Your work is usually great and this has the usual good quality but the atmosphere doesn't seem that special to me in this shot. Cmao20 (talk) 11:45, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No worries and thanks for the review! I actually somewhat agree with Basile as well, the composition is certainly a bit cluttered. For me the light and mood still makes this into a worthy nomination, but that's of course a matter of taste. --Domob (talk) 12:06, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Name fixed. It's not very clear to me why you mentioned the categories and sorting.

Please remind on that for other users as well. Tomer T (talk) 13:34, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I do pester other users with telling them to sort and categorize images too; it is just the first time I've reminded you. We do need help with the boring "behind the scenes" work. It should not just fall to a few users to do all of it. "it's almost always A.Savin", yes true, but he has also asked people to help with that many times. I think he gets just as tired as me of asking people to help with the not so glamorous part of FPs. --Cart (talk) 13:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose There's nothing much wrong with this image, the quality is absolutely fine, but to me it's not quite interesting enough for FP. It's basically the shot that anyone would take if they went to visit this cairn, rather than anything unusual. The light is nice and sunny, but it's also a bit harsh, as is always the problem with shooting midday. Cmao20 (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info Even in a storm, things can look perfectly calm in a photo. This little impromptu island was created when the sea rose to about one meter above average during the storm yesterday, causing flooding all along the coast. The wind was at 22 m/s so tripod or any multi-photo image was not an option in the dim light, hence the higher ISO and low f-number.

Comment Nice scene too, but I'm a little concerned about the processing. It sort of looks a bit overprocessed, am I wrong? --Peulle (talk) 13:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are not wrong. The light was very low (check out the other photos from this photo session) so I had to raise the shadows and darkness quite a bit. The wind kept shaking the camera so I could't go for longer time to get more natural light and contrast and at a higher ISO things would get too grainy, so instead I opted for post-processing. Even with really good post, you can never get it to look completely natural, this was as close as I could get. The colors are real, only the light has been processed. --Cart (talk) 13:47, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Peulle, I've dialed back the highlights and contrast a bit, perhaps it's better. Also 'ping' Basile about the change. --Cart (talk) 14:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Nice scene indeed but not an outstanding image IMHO. Nothing looks "stormy" here, the sky is posterized with purple areas. Something like "so what?" came to my mind. --Kreuz schnabel 17:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in the initial info, I wasn't going for "stormy" with this but a calm area in the storm. I had in mind the compo with the house surrounded by water. It was a side effect of the storm (as in flooding), not a depiction of it. I think it was only fair to mention the storm in the title and description, since it was what caused the high water level. Anyway, FP category adjusted. --Cart (talk) 17:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by unknown photographer - uploaded by Durova - digitally restored by Durova - nominated by Durova 2 -- Durova 2 (talk) 00:40, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Background this historic photograph was previously nominated in 2016 and closed without consensus because a question went unanswered. The lack of a clear response was a good faith misunderstanding: the nominator was not the editor who performed the restoration. I am the editor who performed this restoration; until yesterday I was unaware that this image had ever been nominated for FP at Commons. After a cordial conversation with the person who posed that question it seems worthwhile to nominate this again. Please excuse the new account; in the decade since retiring I've forgotten the old password.

The image is in use on dozens of Wikimedia projects and is featured on four language editions of Wikipedia. It provides encyclopedic background for a topic of universal interest which attracts high user traffic: an editor on the Italian language Wikipedia who maintains tables of highly trafficked articles notes the corresponding article as among the 20 most visited articles site-wide for three weeks in 2017 and 2018.[1][2][3]. Stating these things not to boast, rather as explanation why this particular image deserves a brief return from wiki-oblivion to respond to a well reasoned question in the absence of other answers.

The albumen print has good composition and superior technical merits for circa 1870, an era when long exposure times made informal group portraits quite difficult to do well. The image was made in central Asia in or near what is now Turkmenistan. The earlier FP nomination question had to do with whether the scanned print's deep sepia tones are the photographer's artistic intent. It's safe to say no. Albumen needs less exposure time than glass plate photography, which was a constraint in 1870 for a composition where any of eight subjects might move at any time. Afterward the print paper yellowed for nearly fourteen decades before it was scanned. My final edits corrected a subtle technical problem (probably a minor chemical imbalance) that caused yellow to be relatively dominant on the left side of the image and magenta to predominate toward the right, then a partial desaturation to reduce the intrusive coloration of antique paper, plus adjustments to correct for fade. This restoration strives to recreate the print's appearance in its early years: the albumen only slightly browned, dirt and creases removed, and repairing chemical damage to the sleeve of a man toward the right.

The earlier FP conversation is Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/Log/April_2016#File:Circumcision_central_Asia2.jpg,_not_featured and yesterday's more detailed conversation is User_talk:Ikan_Kekek#A_very_old_FP_conversation. Reference uploads are linked from the image hosting page for the unedited original and an intermediate edit. Many thanks to Ikan Kekek for insightful and supportive commentary.

Comment - Historic photo and good composition. Do you know what the size of the original print was? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:33, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The length and width of the physical print, you mean? The Library of Congress image information gives the scan filesize but not the dimensions of the source image.[4] Followed up with other searches about size information about albumen prints. The border design on the mounting paper suggests that this print was a standard size, either a cabinet card.[5] (108 mm x 165 mm) or a carte de visite[6] (54 mm x 89 mm). Both formats were used during the era when this was made. If you want my best guess between those options I'd say cabinet card. A safer reply would be the print is small enough to stabilize with a thick paper backing; albumen print papers are lightweight.[7] Durova 2 (talk) 10:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:35, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support This photo belongs in the /Historical#1850-1900 section, I've fixed that for you. Yes, it is painful to look at, as are so many other photos in Commons:Featured pictures/Historical (take a look), but as a repository for encyclopedias we need good photos of everything; not just cute animals or lovely scenery. --Cart (talk) 18:52, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Everything, really? Including rape and snuff? And while we should have materials on some disturbing topics, we certainly don't need to promote them. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 19:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ever visited an art museum? If a good reproduction of say this was up for nomination, I would judge the image with the same objective eye as this nomination. --Cart (talk) 19:43, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you know the difference between a fictional depiction and reality, yes? Though if you say you'll support a photo from this category featuring human subjects, should it ever get nominated, I'll admit that you're at least being consistent. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 19:56, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the photo is of exceptional quality, had encyclopedic value and would be useful for articles in the project, I would consider the photo carefully, just like any other nomination. I did not say I would support just any photo just because it is horrible. In the long run, it would be desirable to have at least one FP in every category here on Commons, but we are a long way from that yet. --Cart (talk) 20:24, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the category fix, Cart. To The Cosmonaut, documenting a historic practice isn't necessarily promoting it. Among the other historic topics I worked on was File:Segregated cinema entrance3.jpg; here's hoping no one ever thinks the image restoration promoted that. Durova 2 (talk) 20:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By promoting, I mean the featured status. And unlike segregation, this is not a historic practice. This is happening every day all over the world. We've had opposition over promoting images of perceived animal abuse. Surely, images of child abuse ought to be considered even more carefully. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 21:35, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link to that other conversation. I see your point. Being inactive for ten years means being out of the loop on an active debates. Please weigh this consideration: the past isn't necessarily as finished we'd like to believe. Ansel Adams donated his photographs of Manzanar to the public domain hoping the public would learn from them. Now signs refusing service to all Chinese customers are starting to reappear in other countries' shop windows.[8] It's when people become complacent and think those things are done and over that segregation returns; all it takes is a few weeks of virus bring it back. Part of the reason for working with those images from internment camps and John Vachon's photographs of Jim Crow segregation is to bring these important topics closer so people do consider them carefully. Durova 2 (talk) 23:18, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Billions of people are members of religions that practice circumcision. Refusing to feature photos of the practice smacks of anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish bias, though I understand the position that it's only against genital mutilation. But what makes a man Muslim or Jewish? Speaking as a Jew, not circumcising means denying the covenant and cutting yourself off from your people. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:39, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The assumption that featuring a picture of something means we are somehow "promoting" the depicted is deeply flawed. Following that logic, we also "promote" the 2008 riots in Greece, shooting at people, 9/11, the Vietnam war, RPGs, nuclear bombs, Sony, objectification of women, letting people starve to death, the cold war, Air France and Airbus, being homeless, Nazi concentration camps and what happened there, the Iraq war and Didgeridoos. Marking this picture as worth having a look at through FP neither promotes nor condemns the practice it shows. That is up to the people in the sister projects, where it is used to illustrate the practice shown – and whether that happens in a manner that condemns, promotes or neutrally discusses the matter is not really our concern. Whether this would be a good choice for the Commons front page/POTD is of course an entirely different question that would need to be discussed elsewhere. --El Grafo (talk) 09:24, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'd remind you that the description of a Featured Picture is not "we've promoted much worse" or "seems far from terrible". The description is: "This is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (Featured pictures) and is considered one of the finest images." Is an image that's not as bad as some others that perhaps shouldn't have been promoted and far from terrible one of the finest images on the site? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:43, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know what the voting guidelines are. My comment said that the sharpness was 'far from terrible', not, as you have it, that the image itself was 'far from terrible'. It was a direct response to two other people saying that the sharpness wasn't sufficient for FP. I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I voted for it because it's 'not as bad as some others', but I genuinely think it's overall a good candidate.

@Ermell: An FP should only be in one category, the category/page that is chosen for it. The only thing you have to do is sort it from the 'Unsorted' section to the 'Germany' section on that page. That is all. It's not much work if everyone does it with their own nominations, but quite a bit or work if one or two users have to do it for every nom. I hade sorted so many of your previous nominations that way. Thank you for helping with your own noms! :-) --Cart (talk) 20:48, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: Sorry if I ask again, but the picture is in the category Places/Interiors/Religious buildings#Germany or do I see it wrong? --Ermell (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ermell: Well, you were not looking hard enough. Just because you write "*'''Category:''' [[Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors/Religious buildings#Germany]] on your nomination, it does not mean that the FP is placed there automatically. So, let me use this as an example for you: The Bot always places the new FPs in the 'Unsorted' section of the chosen gallery page, in this case Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors/Religious buildings#Unsorted. After that is done, a human has to move the FP from the 'Unsorted' section to the right section, in this case '#Germany'. I have now done that for you in this edit. Please take a look at it. That is what everyone should do with their own noms. --Cart (talk) 21:21, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral These types of images with people doing everyday things are some of my favorites, it is seen that there is life there, a stressed woman drinking at the bar, someone preparing a presentation for the next day, people arriving from a plane, everything seems very moved, however, there is an joining problem in the ceiling, in the upper right, however, the big problem here IMHO is the people in motion blur. This can be corrected if you have another version of the same framing and using another layer in photoshop and you could remove these ghost people, this is sometimes done automatically by photoshop, the lighting is a bit tetric and reminds me of one of my many nights in an airport --Wilfredor (talk) 04:30, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilfredor: Thanks. I fixed the stitching error, but unfortunately there's no way for me to fix the people. I don't have another version from this angle. :/ — Rhododendrites ^talk | 05:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I simply love this Jetson-styled photo, and it's unfortunate with the blurred people in the image. Would you accept this version where I have "de-warped" some of the people to make the image easier on the eye? Yours to upload if you want it. --Cart (talk) 11:35, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: Thanks for that. Curious how you did that, actually. The likeness waiter in your image seems hard to find in the ghost, but looking at another image I have, your picture is a little closer to how he looks than the way I remembered. :) Given there are quite a few ghosts here (some of which I might be able to clone out, like those in front of the window; some which would be harder without some kind of unholy photoshop magic :) ), I'm frankly inclined to wait and see how this goes before trying to handle them, and then, if necessary, use yours as a starting point to start Ghostbusting. I feel like given the conditions it's hard to expect only crisp humans (literally and figuratively, at an airport bar), and that it's potentially featurable with them... we'll see. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 14:39, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I only worked with this image, no other image is involved. It's a mix of techniques. Some is just basic cloning and using the patching tool, but the magic bullet is the filter 'Liquify' to undo some of the motion. Mix using that with the 'Transform>Distort' tool. You have to go back and forth a few times, work in layers, blend with some 'Smear' and know a bit about painting, but in the end it will get the image where you want it. You know, the hardest part about trying to tell you how I do things in PS and LR, is actually to find the names of the controls and tools in English since my subscription is set to Sweden/Swedish. Hope I got it right. --Cart (talk) 15:52, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose more or less per others. Pretty scene, but the very dark areas prevent this from being a special composition, and I think there would need to be more going on in the sky or at least the far right quadrant of the photo, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:11, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Looking again and again at this photo (which is very well done indeed!), I guess what me makes hesitate is the strong contrast together with the almost black shadows. I may be completely wrong, but with classic Japanese culture, art, and gardens I associate subtlety and fine gradated shades (cf. classic essays like 1, 2), and therefore this photo, being very good in itself, seems somewhat “un-Japanese” to me ;–). No offence! --Aristeas (talk) 08:49, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wilfredor, I think you are a bit too happy to come in with your versions of photos and over-write other photographers' files. You should ask permission before and not after, like I did here. I remember that you have done this before, and you were asked then not to just deliver your versions. So please, slow down and ask first, most of the photographers here would like to work on their photos themselves and you need to respect that even if you only want to be kind/helpful. Thank you. --Cart (talk) 10:38, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cart Thanks for your recommendation, however, I'm not over-writing, how you can see in the file history I uploaded a new version but I rollbacked myself waiting for the author approval, for the moment I have only received praise comments from de authors. The other alternative would be to upload a photo separately which would be worse. --Wilfredor (talk) 13:10, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wilfredor, well just because you have been praised by some, it does not mean everyone agree with you. I would certainly not like it if you messed with my files and file history in that way. It is simply polite to ask first. You can always put your suggested file in a Dropbox like I usually do, that way you don't need to upload it anywhere on Commons and the original author of the file can take a look at what you have done and say yes or no after that. Or you can simply ask the author if they want help with fixing the noise and sharpness, that is very easy to do. --Cart (talk) 14:17, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From here on out I will do what you are recommending me, thanks --Wilfredor (talk) 14:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The colors look strange so checking with the embedded info I get: "WARNING: No color-space metadata and no embedded color profile: Windows and Mac web browsers treat colors randomly." That is a big problem if you want a photo to be FP. --Cart (talk) 13:34, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the added info, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem with the Colour profile since it's still missing. Take a look using this tool. That info needs to be embedded in the file.

Oppose The composition here works as a way to show natural beauty marred by the power plant, but the light isn't the best. It all looks a bit washed out, I'd prefer to see this shot either under bright sunny skies or (perhaps better given the subject) in stormy weather. Quality is not perfect but I could forgive it if the light were more interesting. Cmao20 (talk) 21:07, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Big and hight quality Excellent panoramic, however, noise pattern generated by excessive and widespread use of the sharpness filter. The noise generated by high ISO is acceptable and in many cases easy to fix because it uses a pattern recognizable by the artificial intelligence of some applications, but this other noise is destructive and a bad practice in the development process. Sharpening increases image contrast and if you find that highlights or shadows are clipped after you sharpen, use the layer blending controls (if you sharpen a separate layer on Photoshop) to prevent sharpening in highlights and shadows and reduce image noise before sharpening so that you don’t intensify the noise. It is always better to upload the original image first without applying any noise or clarity correction filter and then upload another version to commons --Wilfredor (talk) 17:56, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose per Wilfredo, though I'd be open to reconsideration if the image were reprocessed the way he suggests and it had a positive effect. Daniel Case (talk) 18:55, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Wilfredor. It's very high resolution and good other than this, but the flaw of the noise pattern is definitely a mistake in processing. Additionally, I feel that whenever anyone sees a picture of Banff National Park it tends to be some variation on this exact view. That's not just a problem on Commons - if you key in Banff National Park into Google Images, the entire top row of search results are variations on this shot. I know it's a very scenic spot but I'd like to see more diversity and completely different compositions. The park is more than 2000 square miles in size, I think we can do better than just having the view from the same place time and again. Cmao20 (talk) 20:46, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Given the high resolution (119 MP), we can afford to be a bit lenient on pixel-level quality. If we scale down 50%, the noise issue is no longer significant enough to prevent FP IMO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:30, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

King of In the same way applying a downsizing the noise would disappear, however, it would also be a bad practice to correct problems because the problem here is not the photo itself but the result of a wrong developing process. If we have this opportunity to improve technically to upload pictures with the best possible quality, why not do it?. It is certainly not a requirement to be FP, but it would be very desirable. --Wilfredor (talk) 04:36, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Understood.

- I agree with your analysis regarding his expression and the somewhat awkward positioning of the doll, but actually that's what makes the picture special for me. It's a good representation of athletes' forced, probably not so successful, merchandise promotion. Tomer T (talk) 12:20, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, I liked the contrast between the stiff face and the cheery doll. The fact that it's a junior contest also adds another aspect to the mix - is the weightlifter a tough guy or just a child? Tomer T (talk) 12:28, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Thank you for finding this hidden gem! Maybe technically not perfect (too dark? some noise?), but IMHO really great. --Aristeas (talk) 10:48, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Yes, it is a tiny bit noisy, the EXIF suggests ISO 900 was used so maybe the light was difficult. But it's not really more than a fine luminance noise even at full size. And I'd rather a bit of noise than too much NR leading to an undetailed image. Cmao20 (talk) 12:44, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support --The Cosmonaut (talk) 15:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, I don't mind the noise but it is just too heavily processed for me and that is confirmed when looking at the exif. (Such as clarity +78 and contrast +52. On a landscape...) --Cart (talk) 15:45, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Out of interest, Cart, how did you find those figures? I can't see them in the metadata on the image page. Are you using a different way to view more info in the EXIF? Cmao20 (talk) 15:21, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cmao20 I use that page linked to in COM:FP#Colour profile, Jeffrey Friedl's Image Metadata Viewer. With that you can usually see many things done to a photo online. But do bear in mind that looking at editing numbers doesn't tell the whole story. Usually a photographer is trying to recreate a scene as (s)he saw it and remembered it, and many times that deviates from what the camera captured, such as that the human eye can "see" in HDR when the camera can't in one shot. Many photos here look very realistic even though the numbers in the metadata are all over the place, whereas some photos can look over-processed by just tiny adjustments. You need to be able to read the whole concept and the sheer numbers in the metadata is just one part/help. --Cart (talk) 15:26, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, will note that tool for future use. Cmao20 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I appreciate a photographer showing darkness as actually dark, but I think the effect could be obtained while making it a little less dark than this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding so much 'Clarity' to a photo adds a lot of artificial darkness, that is what that function does, it boosts both the darkest and brightest areas. Very good feature when you are photographing water or glass things (hence the name) but not something you add to a normal landscape photo unless you are going for artificial drama. --Cart (talk) 13:11, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I see. Well, User:LaurieSchamber, if you feel like returning to Commons to edit your file... -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:49, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination Can't help but agree with Cart that the image is probably overprocessed. Sorry for wasting your time, everyone who voted. I still like it artistically but I guess it's not really suitable for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 11:47, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I distinctly remember having accidentally left my tripod at home that morning, forcing me to shoot handheld with ISO boosted and some minus exposure comp. Not ideal.

Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:55, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination on the basis that the author doesn't consider it an FP-level photo. I do like it though, Juliancolton - I agree the shadows are a bit noisy because of the conditions you were shooting in, but for me your other FP was of the Milky Way rather than of Bontecou Lake, and this has a quite different composition and atmosphere. But I respect that you don't consider it your best work. (It's still going in my personal collection though.) Cmao20 (talk) 19:36, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PROPOLI87, hold on a second... You have not voted for any other photo, are you 'supporting' my photo just because I'm helping you out here on FPC? That is not how it's supposed to be with votes. If that was the reason, you should remove your vote. A vote should be strictly about the photo and not the person who made it. --Cart (talk) 15:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I voted for your photo because I am fascinated by the colors of your photo and also for the subject. I participated in the science wiki and I am sure that your photo in that contest would have had excellent results. In addition I will also vote for other photos. By the way, a question, but why does my PROPOLI87 appear in red? What did I do wrong?

@PROPOLI87: Ok thanks, that is very kind of you. I only wanted to make sure since you are new here on FPC and can still make mistakes. :-) Your name is in red because you haven't activated your user page yet. It is a good way to see who is new to the site and might need extra help and consideration.

~~Oppose~~ Unless I am mistaken Cart, there is much evidence of poor post-processing, like where I have placed a note on the image. There are obvious 'halos' around most of the dark strands. Charles (talk) 14:03, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah Charles, in this case I'm afraid you really are mistaken. Those are not 'halos', the strands are simply hairy. Quote from the WP article: "The fronds bear short colorless hairs in summer." I had to be really careful with the post-processing so I wouldn't ruin this very good photo of those tiny hairs the fronds are covered with. You can only see them in underwater photos of the algae since they cling on to the stem and become "invisible" when you photograph the algae out of water. The fine hairs, almost like a fur, can be seen in this photo as well. I am quite proud of having been able to get such minute details of the algae in these photos, those hairs are only about 1-3 mm long. You can see a drawing of the hairs in fig 1. in this book illustration and fig 31. in this. --Cart (talk) 14:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weird, many apologies. Charles (talk) 15:14, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, not that weird if you think about it. Since the plant is just strands, the hairs is a way for this algae to radically increase its surface to pick the molecules it needs from the water (it has no roots, just a suction cup that keeps it attached to the bottom). A trick nature uses in many lifeforms, like the Intestinal villus in our own intestines. --Cart (talk) 15:26, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I looked into renaming the file before the nomination but didn't see any category that was immediately applicable. I suppose this could still be done later? -- B2Belgium (talk) 10:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

B2Belgium, a file should always be as neat and tidy as possible before you make the nomination. You have made enough noms to know that. Fixing things after the nom is a bad idea, since most people tend to forget to do that and doing it during the nom will mess with the codes.

Comment - Very good quality, pretty buildings, very useful to illustrate an encyclopedia, blog, etc., and the non-water portions of the scene are interesting to look at, but the water doesn't help the composition, which is uninspiring to me. I'll suggest a crop that might work better for me (no guarantees on how I vote before I see it, but I'll oppose this version if it comes to it). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This works for me, and I think it's pretty much the crop I suggested. I didn't want you to get rid of all the water, just enough of it so that it provides a horizontal movement and doesn't kind of sit there. This did it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unnatural dark sky. -- -donald- (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Keep in mind that at > 4000m the atmosphere is much thinner than at sea level, which leads to much more UV and other short-wave light in the spectrum (Michael Freeman even has a section on this type of light that he calls "High Altitude Blue" in his Capturing Light: The Heart of Photography). Combine that with the low air pollution you may still find in remote areas like this, and you do indeed get much bluer skies. If you brighten that up, it's going to look even ~~more unrealistic~~ less like what most of us are used to. --El Grafo (talk) 09:15, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A good way to see if the sky is too dark, is to compare with photos of clouds taken from airplanes. Cumulus clouds are generally at an altitude of "less than 2,000 m", which is considerably lower than this photo. The dark sky here looks just fine to me. --Cart (talk) 10:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support It looks so uncompromising and hard. <shudders> I like that faint plume of snow blowing on the left side of the ridge. --Cart (talk) 10:45, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'd need to see the RAW file. I was looking at this view at the same time of day and about the same time of year (November 2019) I wish the sky had been this colour! Air pollution is not low at low altitudes around Pokhara. The image is not taken from 4000m. Charles (talk) 12:11, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization suggests that this was taken from Annapurna Base Camp (4130m), and zooming around a bit in GoogleEarth and comparing it with the view in File:Annapurna Base Camp (10).JPG, that looks credible to me. What makes you think it was taken from further down? --El Grafo (talk) 14:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: I thought it would be useful to state the diameter. Below you will find the English description. There, too, mention is made that it is a small mushroom. If you find the diameter misleading, I can remove it.

Members of this genus are small, convex to fan-shaped, and sessile. Species have cheilocystidia^[1] Spore prints are yellow-brown to brown. All species of Crepidotus are known to be secondary decomposers of plant matter; most are saprobic on wood. Little is known about the edibility of various species; the usually small and insubstantial specimens discourage mycophagy.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:24, 24 February 2020 (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: Severely distorted and unsharp. Please compare with other FPs, at full size, in the same gallery before you make a nomination. --Cart (talk) 15:38, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
