Neutral - If we go over all FP we will verify that there are very few portraits. In many Commons photos of people the human presence only serves to illustrate some activity or event (like in here) or it is just a part of the composition (like in here). In others, there is some kind of “exotism” or specific theme which deviates the attention from the person and, in some way, becomes the very subject of the photo (like in here, here and here). It is very difficult to evaluate the portrait of a living person when we don’t know him. Note that even the human expression may not be characteristic of that person. All we can do is to examine the technical quality of the picture. Alvesgaspar 12:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support This a gorgeous map! What is the "original" the title in the cartouche is referring to? Alvesgaspar 16:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- probably, the original military map. One has to understand that maps had a high military value (acces to the city, location of arsenals, etc.) and their publication was, indeed, subject to approval. Better control the map and be the source (original) of what would be published than victim of an earnest and complete cartographer disclosing all details. Diligent

Oppose I completely concur with AM. Arjun 21:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is a fine image, looks like a scene from the future but yet it's a picture from the present. Underexposing the image allows the attention to be drawn to the train, and the surrounding lights create a very moody atmosphere. What I don't like (but I still vote for the image) is the quality of the image, which is very poor: very noisy and with lots of compression artefacts. Ecomuseum, try doing some more post-processing (some Photoshopping), you can definitely improove the image quality. --Andy 11:56, 01 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Info Here is a slightly edited version, which in my opinion improves the overall quality of the image. It's less noisy, and looks more futuristic. I've done an edge-preserving blur, and then several soft blurs for the lights to make them look anti-aliased (original image is very sharp). I know voting finished, but I like this image and I felt it deserved some post-processing. -- User:Atoma 12:28, 03 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is a nice picture and an uncommon shot. It's a pity that the quality of the photo doesn't match its interest. It is unsharp and the main subject is noisy at full resolution.

Oppose The bridge is out of focus. (Autofocus on the stones in the foreground?) --Martinroell 13:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Info I always view constructive criticism as a good thing ; something I can learn from but statements like "brännande vita fläckar"? from User:AzaToth tell me nothing ; same goes for Ansett,oposing without explanation to me equals to vandalism!! Martin with sharpness I can't do anything. I used wide angle lens for this shot and I did focus on the bridge (everything should be in focus from few feet to infinity) but since the bridge is 200-300 m (yrds) away it's natural that the foreground (2m away) will look much sharper.Light from the bridge traveling through 300m of air will get refracted along the way.(more humidity= more refraction)That's the reason you can never get a perfectly sharp photo of a distant landscape. This entry was from User:Lacos3, at 03:31 29 December 2006. - Alvesgaspar 11:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Oppose. Dear Lacos3, a bit of constructive criticism to please you. There is no obligation to justify our votes on the guidelines, the only obligation is to "be polite" - hence Ansett's vote validity (although i find him too negative in his systematic opposition and would support Alvesgaspar's proposal but that is altogether an other story). Sharpness is achievable as opposed to what you think, it has been acheived on many night panoramas (some featured) - try harder! Your image is tilted, a detail which escaped the scrutiny of the previous viewers. The rocks in the foreground are really disturbing and I would advise some cropping. I would also object, taking into account that the subject is the bridge that you have too much of a rather boring skyline on the right and leaving out the left part of your main (uncomplete) subject. How unfortunate! Diligent 18:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support How unfortunate! Lestat 12:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is a long exposure, and I wonder whether the slight lack of sharpness of the buildings arises because of camera shake on the tripod. A really solid tripod is needed, along with a remote shutter release. --MichaelMaggs 16:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
CommentWait a few years for Freedom Tower to be built and take the photo again. The skyline is pretty boring without the twin towers. Although, it's a good picture, but it need a serious crop (the rocks are annoying) --66.36.154.65 21:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- done. -LadyofHats 21:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral The orientation of the line segments, as well as the position of the labels, seem pretty random and spoil the illustration. For instance, the segments should be horizontal or 45º oriented whenever possible. Also, there should be some general indication (a label?) on the contents of the three different figures. Support an improved version if the author, or someone else, takes care of that. Alvesgaspar 11:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I updated a version with more straight lines. Still the position of the labels responds to the lines. it was the only way i found to have 3 lists and no crossing lines. if i force all the lines to be horizontal and or 45° then i would need far much more space for the labels. and since what they point is sometimes so small, then the image would not be able to be seen in one view. for the labels, i was told often before that images on wikipedia should contain no titles, and even then i do not know wichones would be the right titles. the first is clear that they are the bones. the second are the "lines" fosas and fisuras, but the third? "others??" . i do not know, the books i used as reference mention nothing about it. they just say in every diagram "front view of a skull" wich titles you would like?. -LadyofHats 12:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would never modify someone's original image, that's not the way things are done here.

Oppose because of random and confusing background.

Thanks for your comment...at least someone gives comments :-) ..well in the background there is another racing car which, i think, fits quite well.--AngMoKio 19:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose i find the composition a bit flat. is there anything that makes "that" wheel interesting? -LadyofHats 04:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yeah...maybe you are right. There is nothing special abt especially that wheel. I somehow like the composition...and i also like racing cars :) But i guess for people not interested in cars it is quite boring. I think i have to live with that fact :) --AngMoKio 20:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral for now. This is am impressive sculpture and a beatiful picture.

Alvesgaspar 17:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because it is too unsharp for a not moving object and too grainy to be special. The color of the light is mixed between a warm glow of a bulb and daylight or flash. This Picture has to be redone to get my support vote. --SvonHalenbach 16:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not the author of that picture, so i have no informations to the deskription. As i see it, the uploader is not familiar with uploading pictures correctly. He just uploaded and has chosen the dropdown for licensing. He didn't write a text, so you can ignore this nomination. To me it looks like a simple longtime exposure. Maybe 10 seconds with a wide angle lens. (Ten seconds because of the blue flashing position lights.) --SvonHalenbach 15:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose seems quite boring to me, just an average long time exposure. I also tagged it as no source, if the license is cc-by-sa an author absolutely has to be given. There is also no exif-info attached to the image so it's questionable if the uploader really took it himself. -- Gorgo 21:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the coin was not chosen for cleanliness etc., the whole point was to get a picture of an average worn circulation coin, as a cointerpoint to all the perfect shiny photoshopped collectible proof coins from the US mint website. The coin is straight from my change purse (yep I had a US cent in there), the dust is apparently purse-lint. --Dschwen 21:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- That's not what I meant. The line segments should affect the illustration as little as possible. Why put them all on the same side of the skull? The same with the other figure. Alvesgaspar 11:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - in this way the labels use half of the image(the whole image) and the skull the other half. if i place them on both sides of the image the skull will use only 1/3 from the image wide, if i also place them above and below the skull then the image size would relatively be even smaller. in my first image there were already people complaining that the diagram should be able to be readed in thumbnail size, wich normally is arround 200px ( that is why i use text so big this time). if i would apart from that force lines to be "only" straight and 45° as you sugested, then the skull ( in my opinion the central part of the image) would be no more than a dirty spot in the middle. the reason why i place the labels all on one side of the skull is because i find it aesthetical and practical. I agreed with you that the first option with the lines crossing the front part of the skull was not good and i changed that but this time i would ask you to reconsider your request, since i find your argument not convincing. -LadyofHats 13:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Info I guess the blue band is the pigeon, it looks as if it was 'facing' the camera -- the blueish tint could be caused by the fact that the left side is in the shadow. Perspective is sometimes tricky. &&

Comment I'd support if it were another animal, but pigeons..I see them every day, they're kinda common.

Oppose First: it is a beautiful picture and I like it, but I do not feel this one would make a good featured picture -- I much prefer the images above (the twilight one in particular). This image appears to be slightly at an angle than what it could be: it looks like it should be rotated a fraction of a degree counter-clockwise. Also, I understand your intention of capturing the lighting, but I feel that there is too much sky: the key subject of the building is subsequently reduced. Of course, by cropping, you'd lose the nifty effects of the lighting. Sort of a lose-lose as far as its framing goes. --Thisisbossi 18:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glare from the lights, and the un-natural appearance of the water caused by the long exposure blurring the ripples - MPF 16:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you're wrong about the water. It looks basically the same as it did in person and basically the same during the day with a fast exposure - almost completely flat, with minor ripples from the wind. How can you know what is 'natural looking' if you weren't there? Any blurriness is likely caused by the foreground being out of the plane of focus. This is not unnatural. This is the laws of physics. Anyway, it is rather a petty quibble in the first place really but you're entitled to your opinion. Diliff 21:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral This is an excellent picture in technical terms - good composition, exposure and colours - and will have no problems in being promoted to quality image. But it lacks, IMO, the symbolic meaning and relevance the guidelines refer to. Alvesgaspar 11:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral agree with Alvesgaspar it is technically perfect. But the composition is a bit too direct. It would have been a really great photo if you made a photo with a wider angle with the well in the right or left lower corner as an eye-catcher --AngMoKio 19:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cropped version (right) - not featured

Comment I uploaded a cropped version you can see on the right. I cropped it really radically, even one leg of the spider is cropped. But the resolution is still high enough and I did that to emphasise the weird kinda third-person shooter perspective which makes it a featured picture in my opinion (the cropped version). norro 21:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the new version and comment. So far i didnt see that photo this way. The main thing i like abt the composition of the original version is the line from the lower left corner to the upper right corner and the placement of the spider.

Here it is: Resolution - graphics located on Commons may be used in ways other than viewing on a conventional computer screen. They may be also used for printing or for viewing on very high resolution monitors. We can't predict what devices may be used in the future, so it is important that pictures being nominated have as high a resolution as possible. At least 2 million pixels (e.g. 2000 x 1000) seems reasonable right now. Images of lower resolution are typically rejected unless there are strong mitigating reasons. -- Simonizer 15:36, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was a friend of mine standing near by. The guy you see in the upper right reflection near the chain was pretty far away. Round-shapes reflect things in a very strange way, you should try this next time you see a motorcycle of this type. --Atoma 01:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - CommentI would agree if we didn't have the original on the left: I don't think there's any third person involved, the guy is dressed the same way, stands on the same spot and in front of the same chain. Even though I wouldn't (and don't) necessarily miss him on the right (yes, because round shapes tend to reflect in bizarre ways), Lycaon is right: It's not possible. --Ibn Battuta 06:41, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - nice pic, but the exposure is too slow to show the water well, with too much motion blur. From what I've read, an exposure of about ¹/₅₀ second matches human eye perception of motion best. - MPF 23:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for the comments (above and below) and the edit. This was a hand help shot with no tripod at ¹/₁₅ second, so I was pleasantly surprised it was as sharp as it is. I have a much better and older SLR film camera and a tripod, so I can try to get a similar photo again in the coming summer. However, I am getting conflicting advice: shorter exposure time here, longer time below. Maybe I'll try both and see what works better ;-) Thanks again, Ruhrfisch 00:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some light PP would be necessary to increase IQ: cropping, auto-levels & unsharpen mask, as shown in the image on the right. Nice shot, I would have liked it better if the exposure time was even bigger, so that the water gives more the 'flowing' impression. Close-down aperture and exposure time will go up -- but well, on the Canon A400 you cannot control the aperture, so there was nothing you could do. Maybe it's time to move-up to a better camera which meets your needs. --Atoma 11:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Some more saturation would be nice. --Wj32 06:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice composition but poor image quality. The leaves, one of the subjects of the photo, are blurred (probably due to motion and also for being unfocused). Looking at the exposure numbers we realize it should be quite dark in that place. Alvesgaspar 09:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral hm...really not bad but i am also not sure abt the trees in the background. Have to think abt it...might change to pro--AngMoKio 20:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think the trees improve the pic and give a sense of depth; without them, it would look rather bleak and difficult to interpret so easily - MPF 22:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
