SHORT DESCRIPTION
no problem, thanks --Böhringer (talk) 07:38, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for my english. For me it is not so important whether with f / 13, the picture was taken. Primary is about the effect of me. This has been confirmed to me the many assumptions in the state championship and the TRIERENBERG Super Circuit. There no one asks about the EXIF data. Nevertheless, thanks for your comments. I take the criticism of happy because I can learn. kindly --Böhringer (talk) 08:03, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, many viewers would be very happy with a photo like this. I only looked at the EXIF after being a little dissapointed by the image quality and modest resolution. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:17, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I hope neither Slaunger or I were guilty of reviewing the EXIF data rather than the photo! I don't think that is why either of us opposed. I don't think a 4MP landscape is feature-worthy in 2015, unless it was very original and amazing. -- Colin (talk) 08:55, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What makes an image more than 20MB in 4MB to go on pixel search? The fact is that I find my best pictures without license information on the Internet for postcard printing, publications again in print media and other websites. Whether the image is original or grandiose decide the users. Your choice I respect equally. kindly --Böhringer (talk) 11:11, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I don't understand your comment. Are you suggesting you limit your donations to Commons to 4MP in order to prevent people using them for postcards or websites? 4MP is plenty for a postcard or website, so don't really see why both limiting at all. Why not donate the 36MP your camera is capable of. If you want to only donate small pictures to Commons, that is your right, but I don't think they deserve FP then. -- Colin (talk) 11:22, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Guidelines for nominators
Resolution – Images (with the exception of animations, videos, and SVGs) of lower resolution than 2 million pixels (pixels, not bytes) are typically rejected unless there are 'strong mitigating reasons'. Note that a 1600 × 1200 image has 1.92 Mpx, just less than the 2 million level. A 1920 × 1080 image, commonly known as Full HD, has 2.07 Mpx, just more than the 2 million level. --Böhringer (talk) 14:05, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nice image, but Colin is right about the resolution and your comment. You have to choose whether you want to sell you images or offer them to Commons. Personally, I am always happy and proud when my images are used elsewhere, even for commercial purposes. But I have chosen a long time ago not to sell my images. It is perfectly OK to expect a revenue for your work, but then it is incompatible with sharing them on Commons. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:25, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You aren't saying anything we all don't knwo. That 2MP is the absolutely lowest limit. If this was a bird in flight then 4MP might be reasonable. For a landscape, no way. This is 2015. I don't know why you've started doing this because you used to nominate larger images like everyone else. The FP guidelines say "Images should not be downsampled". That's widely ignored provided the reduced-size image is still pretty large. But 4MP from a 36MP camera? Not reasonable. -- Colin (talk) 15:30, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • We all have that problem. I also find many of my pictures in the Internet without any license information and I take time to get that corrected. It usually works, but not always, and that is of course frustrating (would be great if the WMF would support us here). Still, I think that providing no content or less quality content is not the solution for the movement. If we all would do that, then soon we wouldn't have any FPs created by a Commonist. In fact, I will begin next week to upload 50 MP images to Commons, Poco2 13:00, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Macaca fascicularis in Tarutao National Marine Park
It is not perfectly sharp, that's true. However, this is not a photograph of a building. :) --The Photographer (talk) 16:16, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't QI here....We must adapt the evaluation to the type of subject--LivioAndronico talk 16:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Photographer, I usually nominate pictures of animals and sports. I expect the rest of candidates to be sharp, as I try to do with mine. --Kadellar (talk) 17:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO this picture could be different under certain conditions there is always an exception to the rule, however, I respect your appreciation --The Photographer (talk) 17:43, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
like this [1] Kadellar? but please....--LivioAndronico talk 17:40, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Here you just have shown your knowledge of photography, comparing a portrait with a macro shot (sharp, btw). WELL DONE!! --Kadellar (talk) 09:43, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I do not care anything about the type of picture Kadellar, I wanted to see your mistakes and your ways of doing ridiculous, could also be a motorcycle. Do not make so much accurate, because just you're not!--LivioAndronico talk 15:10, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think Livio is right but in this case I assume it's downscaled 36.2Mpx → 4.7Mpx (2653 / 7360 x 4912 = 1771) still not enough sharp. That's totally different from that one. --Laitche (talk) 17:28, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If this had been taken with a Nikon D200, you'd have evaluated differently ?, you are evaluating the camera or photography itself?. --The Photographer (talk) 17:41, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Malaysian GP opening lap
  •  Oppose Nothing wrong with taking this. But ... we have varying degrees of sharpness that can't be explained by the fact that the cars are moving since not only does it not apply equally to all of them, it affects some of the track as well, and there's that crop. I think this picture tried to do too much. QI for sure but no star. Daniel Case (talk) 04:18, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice colors and angle but I think the opening lap is not good timing for this composition since tis very crowded with cars. --Laitche (talk) 10:06, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Spain Truck GP 2013, Jarama Circuit.
  •  Comment Action shots depend on the representation of movement. Movement on a a still image can be represented in two ways, the first is motion blurr in relation of two objects or the freezing of unnatural poses. For example, motion blurr in this case is non existent, we could be looking into parked trucks on a race track. The wheels are frozen and there is no sensation of movement. This type of shot is best achieved by panning the subect and to let the background become blurred, thus giving the impression of movement. The other type of frozen action is to capture via high shutter speeds the climax of a scene, like a basketball player in a high jump, a bullet frozen by flash, a dive of a a football player where we can se defining moments that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Please see #Motion Blur images. [[3]] --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:25, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There, the arrangement of everything makes sense to me. Here, The arrangement feels random. I'm not saying it's not possible that this much space around the subject can work.

  •  Comment. Is this allowed on Commons? There's no FoP for public artworks in the US and I'm pretty sure this doesn't count as a building. Regardless of whether the photo is a product of a US government agency/employee, it's not clear that a non-governmental agency wasn't involved in the building of the model (although I'm happy to be corrected on that). What I did find was this: The actual telescope is a collaborative project amongst 1000 people in 17 countries, including seven non-governmental organisations. I'm reminded of Cloud Gate in Chicago, which is something that we're not allowed to host on Commons. I know because I inadvertently uploaded a photo of it and had it deleted by an admin. Somehow some images of it remain on Commons, but the vast majority have been deleted. I don't know under what rationale they were kept or not, but I assume they have to be sufficiently abstract that they can't be considered photos of the artwork itself. That seems to be the case for all the images except this one and this one. Diliff (talk) 18:26, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Jebulon. I don't see this as an artwork, Diliff, although it's a beautiful telescope. Couldn't you take pictures of a microscope lying on a street of the US? I don't think a model of the telescope is different enough from the telescope itself. --Kadellar (talk) 20:48, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I don't think it has to be 'art' by our normal definition of the word, it just has to be a structure with a copyrightable design that isn't a building (Here, it says that it is only considered a building if it can 'house people')... A telescope isn't a building either, whether it's a model of a telescope or an actual working telescope. This lack of FoP is ridiculous sometimes, it's so hard to know for sure what is okay and not okay. Diliff (talk) 21:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I make use sometimes of the neutral vote, because I feel that I have something to contribute with in a nomination, sometimes I just don't participate in the nomination. In this case I opposed because I feel that I have to oppose. The execution is not at FP level IMO and the quality or subject doesn't compensate that. Poco2 12:37, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes Code but the point is that I do not have my camera in the HDR therefore face the speech: 1) Do these photos is not easy otherwise it says that are not centered! 2) I haven't the HDR in my Nikon D3200 so should I put my camera on the ground, change the position 2 or 3 times and put it back in the same spot (I point out that while I had the camera on the ground (I put it on the ground because I can not use a tripod, I challenge anyone to use a tripod in a church in the center of Rome, a priest with clear German accent and honestly very similar to Ratzinger told me: Finish do these antics and go out to them ... this is a church). 3) in addition, the domes are therefore always on the altar in a place where you can not go unnoticed. Grazie per il supporto --LivioAndronico talk 20:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strange. I didn't know that the D3200 doesn't even support automatic exposure bracketing. Even the smaller Canons like my old 500D support AEB. You should buy yourself a new camera soon, I think your pictures would definitely benefit from a better equipment. P.S.: I hope you're not really putting the camera upon the altar, are you? However, the photo is good and the subject is nice. But it would definitely be better if you had used HDR. --Code (talk) 06:20, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm really surprised that the churches in Rome are so strict about tripods. Very few in England (or France) care about tripods. It might be a church but it is also a historical architectural building and should be documented well. After all, you're not destroying the sanctity simply by taking a photo! In fact, many people cause much more of a problem in a church by using a bad quality cheap camera with automatic flash turned on. The flash is so much more distracting for the visitors to the church than a tripod! Well, at least now I know not to bother trying to take photos in churches in Rome. But if I do visit, I'll definitely try to see how many times I can get away with a photo though. ;-) Diliff (talk) 23:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Weak oppose It's a nice view, but the technical execution is imo not good enough to clear the FP threshold: Upper left corner is very close to blown (perhaps recovered from white) and the sharpness in the center part is not good enough for the size of the image (looking at the white buildings/tents). Sorry. --DXR (talk) 13:11, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's much better regarding the clouds! I think your second frame from the left is shaky-blurred, which is quite unfortunate. I'm going  Neutral because that version certainly improves a lot.

  •  Weak support I had a bit of doubt about the colors in remote targets here. It reminds me a bit of my personal pictures I've taken during my holidays where the main subject is located in a far distance (just like in this picture). I was strongly disappointed when I saw my pictures as they were just incomparable with the real view I saw. I think this picture has just the same issue, because colors depth is just incomparable with those around rocks and those behind the river, which looks quite toneless. Another picture nominated below with quite remote mountains as well doesn't have such issue, so I guess it is possible to solve this somehow. Still, despite this issue the picture is appealing and worth support. -- Pofka (talk) 16:31, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Pofka: I've played around with the WB and came to the conclusion that the current colors are quite loyal to reality. Can you give me a hint (bluish, greenish,...)? Poco2 17:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Added note where I think it is too pale. I think it should look much greener live. Only the remote (where I noted) parts have issues for me. All these rocks, bushes at the bottom are of a great tone. -- Pofka (talk) 20:39, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, ever since I had an argument with him on the FPC talk page, he has opposed every nomination (in which he votes). Sometimes he doesn't vote, but if he does, it is 100% oppose. I asked him to stop voting on my nominations because I don't trust his motives, but he refused. Diliff (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question And who de hell do you think you are to ask someone to not vote in this process? An infalable gifted guru or some crap like that? Or do you enjoy special privileges around here? As far as my motives, your are absolutely clueless. I think, however, as you venture to distrust my motives without reason, that you are a tantrum prone crybaby when someone calls you out on your not so top of the line photographs. ;) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do we have to go around in circles calling each other names again? It's pointless. I wasn't talking to you. I only mentioned it to explain to Livio the issue I have with you. It wasn't an invitation to start a fight again. Diliff (talk) 22:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Yann (talk) 14:56, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support ... but what a bunch of silly crybabies including Jebulon and Diliff. @ Jebulon your comment is a crude attempt at trolling and baiting and is completely out of line. @ Diliff I do not oppose every single nomination of yours, while I have opposed some of your images on the same grounds that many other oppose your or somebodyelse´s nominations and even on the same grounds that you oppose others, that does not constitute "every nomination" or "Every nomination of mine, he opposes. No exceptions." So basically you are lying, and someone who lies, is a liar. A good photographer, and a liar. All it takes is one single example to prove your lies. The truth is that I abstain most of the time because while I think that your craftsmanship is absolutely top of the line, your themes get a little boring for me. I was going to support this image when it came out because it is a different approach and it is pretty neat in my opinion, but did not get around to do it. I am glad I did not! I find your ego trip quite amusing. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • You have opposed every nomination of mine in which you have voted, which I clarified in my next reply to Livio. Show me a single vote on my nominations that isn't an oppose and I'll take it all back. I said already that you haven't voted in all of them (abstaining, in other words). Nothing I said is in disagreement with you on that. Diliff (talk) 21:32, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are parsing your words. Abstaining is a way of voting anyway, just as neutral. Is voting support the only option for your images? And in any case, this vote proves you wrong. And this vote is consistent with my views. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:20, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • An abstain is a conscious decision not to vote either on the affirmative or negative. Your version of abstaining is not a 'vote'. It's the absence of a vote. According to the dictionary: Synonyms: not vote, decline/refuse to vote. Do I abstain from every nomination that I don't vote in? No. Most of them I don't even pay enough attention to consider voting. I have no idea what your thought processes are on nominations that you don't vote on and I don't claim to. All I know is that (until now anyway) you always voted oppose if you voted on my nominations. Your support vote here doesn't 'prove me wrong' because my claim was correct at the time I said it. I never made a prediction about your future voting patterns. Your logic is terrible. Diliff (talk) 23:50, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why did you even bother engaging in the first place then? Ah yes, because you enjoy stirring things up and calling people names but you're not interested in actually separating truth from false. Diliff (talk) 08:54, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, let´s see if you a man true to his word, and let me quote you "Show me a single vote on my nominations that isn't an oppose and I'll take it all back."

Lake Frolikha in Buryatia, Russia
I am not even sure that the image is an HDR. But the clouds are really odd: normally clouds have a blueish hue (that is more blue than green and red), but here they are perfect gray (eg. 193-193-193), imho the result of active desaturation. Only the small part above the lake is purple, which is quite sloppy editing. I am not saying that it is wrong to like the result visually, but EV is certainly badly impaired by - for documentary purposes - inappropriate editing. --DXR (talk) 17:18, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's a HDR, I think the sky and the mountains in the upper part were too blue in the opinion of the author and he tried to desaturate the 30% top of the image. -- Christian Ferrer 18:00, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Chapel of Reconciliation on the grounds of the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse in Berlin.
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture/Religious buildings
  •  Info The Chapel of Reconciliation on the grounds of the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse in Berlin. The chapel was designed by the architects Peter Sassenroth and Rudolf Reitermann and inaugurated on 9 November 2000. Why do I think this is more than just QI? Maybe it doesn’t have the WOW of a sunset mountain panorama, but I still think this could be FP. Taking this photo was significantly more difficult than it might seem. The chapel has a very unfavorable location. It is oriented to the north and that’s why there’s only a very short time window each day in which some morning sunbeams touch the chapel. I went there a hundred times to get a good light situation. Even when the light is good the chapel is not easy to photograph because the dynamic range is very large. It is hardly possible to get both the wooden poles and the interior well exposed. Therefore I used HDR in this case. Additionally it is quite difficult to get a picture of the chapel without people in front of it. The memorial site is very busy and normally dozens of school classes are running through the picture. The only thing I’m not sure about is the perspective. I'm not sure whether this is better? I’m looking forward to your opinions. All by me -- Code (talk) 18:23, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I appreciate your effort taking this photo (north facades are really bad as I know myself) and I also appreciate the detailed background information. The transparent architecture of the building is impressive, the photographic quality very high. For me there is one shortcoming: The distracting element at the left foreground destroying the inner silence of the photo. From this stance the other photo is better (but take a careful look, you've forgotten to crop a tiny element at the top left) --Tuxyso (talk) 19:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Tuxyso: Thank you very much for your detailed review which helped me a lot for my photographic formation. Do you think I should nominate the other picture instead or as an alternative? --Code (talk) 18:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest it as alternative. Both photos are too similiar. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:50, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I nominated it as an alternative. I will follow your suggestion and crop the tiny object on the left corner this evening when I'm back at my computer with Photoshop installed. --Code (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Extraordinary building indeed, but the capture of it is completely ordinary. There is nothing stunning in it which would make this picture different from the others. I think everyone could take such picture being there. That's why I think it would fit as QP much more. Pictures like this or this aren't worse in any way. Both of them are QP. -- Pofka (talk) 19:38, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that FP must have some kind of phenomena in it, which would cause WOW feeling and would be difficult to capture for others. Detailed and high resolution ordinary picture of a building doesn't have this, at least for me. Probably the main problem is the picture's subject/location as it doesn't seem to be worth more than QP: no mountains, no nature, no outstanding/luxurious/decorated architecture, etc. It is just a simple wooden chapel which at first might look exotic, but actually it isn't so. -- Pofka (talk) 16:09, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Laitche. As I said - unfortunately the front is always in shadow. I don't know how one could make a better picture of the chapel - maybe with a big external flash or something. Do you have an idea? --Code (talk) 18:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Some years ago I worked in the Bundestag but I can't remember that they had polling machines and I believe they still don't have. In the TV news we see the members of parliament only use ballot boxes. Concerning the picture I think it should be VI but not QI or FP. For me, FP is always something like a QI with either a great WOW or a great educational value. Your picture has the latter, but it doesn't meet the quality standards. And the educational value / WOW-effect is not that great that I would accept mitigating circumstances. Just to explain my vote. I hope you understand. --Code (talk) 18:57, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment The circular shape of the lens is not fully visible due to its being embedded, all right. This doesn't disturb me. The main problem is that the viewer imagines the circular shape's continuation that would take place outside the photo. This means the photo should not have been cropped this way, a little more of the soft surface should be visible, enough at least to close the circle. --Tremonist (talk) 12:54, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Tremonist and Bruce1ee. Additionally the background looks unfortunate. It should be clearer, I think. The upper corners look like vignetting.

Alternative

[edit]

 Comment Look, Mile, the lens does not need to be fully visible, but the circle needs to be closed in mind, thus the size of the picture would have to meet these requirements as stated above. Concerning this alternative, the background is entirely blurred and heterogenous, while a simple white wall or sheet of paper would have provided the contrast wished for. Don't you think so? Greetings, --Tremonist (talk) 15:02, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose. I agree with Mile, the composition is poor. It's difficult to find a good framing for this interior though because no matter how wide you go, you're always cropping something. I actually shot this a long time ago (almost 10 years!) with a spherical projection. It's an interior view that is only really done justice with a proper 360x180 degree view I think. I'd love to go back and shoot it with a more advanced technique. As for this image though, it's very average. Look at the reflection on the tiles below the middle arch. It looks like someone has done a really poor job of masking or cloning something there, and it ended up being a blob of solid colour. I know it was taken in 2007, but it's pretty poor by modern standards. Diliff (talk) 00:48, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • The question isn't so much whether it looks natural (although as I mentioned above, I suggest you look at the reflection on the tiles beneath the middle arch on the ground floor and tell me that looks natural), it's mostly about the composition (off centre and stairs cropped by the framing) and the image quality (look at the shadow detail and the texture of the building at 100%). It looks good at thumbnail size, but not good when viewed a bit more up close. It is high resolution which mitigates the image quality issues but overall I don't find it a particularly impressive photo to be honest. Anyway, not trying to change your vote, just explain what I and others were mentioning. Diliff (talk) 13:02, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not sure, but have you got any noise reduction activated directly on camera? 1Dx + 300f4 w/2x should be much sharper imo (well, maybe it's the multiplier, which seems to be the old first edition, isn't it?). I've gone birding and I could get finer detail with a bit better lens but worse body, so I don't really know how similar is your case.

There must be several intentional distortions in the photographer's version, whereas all I did was some perspective corrections on the verticals, so therefore the differences and also a slight change in crop. Still waiting for an answer by Vladimir Chuprikov if he likes my version and likes to have his one overwritten. --A.Savin 12:29, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thanks for review, interest and comment. No, I'll not provide any alternative, sorry. I'm by religion against the (so-called) alternatives, because here it is FP, not a photo workshop (shortly said). The picture has to be good as it is when nominated here, by respect for the reviewers (only my poor opinion). Yes, it is a little dark, but first I don't understand why "a photo of this object taken on a sunny day could become FP", FP should not be only for oversaturated pictures, with harsh (filtered) blue skies. Second, the weather was so when the US Rangers climbed the cliff, june 6th 1944.--Jebulon (talk) 15:00, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chancia and river Bienne

  •  Oppose The same author could create a better result, as this. I fixed the main correctable issues, wrong license, black areas, and centralized. But the lack of the quality, in general, is not appealing to me. -- RTA 07:59, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not compare animals and different nominations. I revert your version, I am sorry, its adding more problems that fixing something (like tilt), I invite you to create a alternative nomination, upload it like another version. Thanks for your help --The Photographer (talk) 18:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For THE Photographer you should study away more about photography. You reverted a background cleaning that you was not capable to do. I dedicate my time to improve a image, and you through the edition away just to impose yourself; this behaviour do not below to this Movement.
Why would I create another bad quality image? Just to not hurt your ego? No one can edit a photo that you only uploaded (with several errors)? Cleaning background is not a alternative, is improvement of the image...
And I'm not comparing "animals" I'm comparing technique... the author already showed domain of a better technique, if you did not get that, is better be quite, for you not embarrass yourself. -- RTA 20:54, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that my oppose was conditional (and I have now striked it as I have been able to resolve the color space issue myself now). I could not revert as then I would also revert the actual edits on the file. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:46, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Baby talk about colour-profile again... I brought back the metadata, as you can see on the File page (how about the next time you do that, it takes the same time as to come here to cry for it). I should let it in that away, because it's a bad photo, if several mistakes, but your only reason to you say no is the colour-profile... for God's sake.
I'll assume "revert" as "fix", to not be more disappointed... -- RTA 07:51, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
RTA: It was not possible for me to restore profile data which had been lost when you also edited the file. The new version you now uploaded had the AdobeRGB color space, which is not suitable for web use, but at least that version I could convert to sRGB. I have not even started reviewing the photo yet, it had no purpose when the file had no proper color space metadata. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:45, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This a community that storage and uses internet as a tool, but this is not restricted to internet.
This suitable for web is dumb, if ProPhoto stores more information, this should be the choice... And every time and time this stupid discussion appears, I will not waste more time on this, you prefer decrease the file quality in order to be "suitable for web browsers", forgetting uses beyond Wikipedia... -- RTA 04:28, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
RTA, please don't argue here about AdobeRGB or ProPhoto being suitable. This is an internet-based digital media archive and the standard on the internet is sRGB whether we like it or not. The world is digital now and 99.9999% of our image use will be online. I very much doubt this rather unsaturated image has any significant pixels that fall outside of sRGB colour, so why should 99.99% of our viewers see the wrong colour because you haven't done your research on the topic. AdobeRGB is for sending TIFFs to a print shop; it is the Betamax of colorspaces. -- Colin (talk) 12:02, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"I will not waste more time on this" RTA 04:28, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As in "I refuse to learn something new today" . -- Slaunger (talk) 15:05, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Slaunger this is very offensive standard to me, and this is not the place for a colour profile discussion. Both, Colin and you, are the ones very straight on this, not open to a real discussion, imposing a view, get in to the ridiculous of spamming opposing votes, jeopardising candidatures to force people to curve to your view. So this is not "I refuse to learn" (a very deep value on me), that is "I will not enter on this stupid conversation, with people not prepared to listening". -- RTA 15:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RTA, I'm missing the bit where you carefully argued your view and supplied sources for your non-standard opinions on colorspace. All I saw was "Baby talk about colour-profile again". If you want to have a grown-up discussion I'm all ears. But the fact that you uploaded an image without any colourspace tag or profile and then uploaded in AdobeRGB makes me suspect you don't know what you doing or saying and would rather throw insults than admit you made a mistake. There are plenty resources on the internet. This is not a personal view but simply the standard for the internet. -- Colin (talk) 17:08, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep insult me, this will make your point... -- RTA 17:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Martin! It looks like when using HDR in LR6 the EXIF data of one of the result is taken over from one of the frames, will look into that. Regarding the equipment, yes, it's a different and bigger animal that I am trying to domesticate :) Poco2 21:57, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose WB is off. Seems like you were chasing lights but you spoiled the sky, despite you didnt catch correct temperature or light (bottom part still too much yellow and sky too fluorescent). What should be benefit of HDR here, its more way around - sky should be darker with different looking. Composition doesnt work for me neither, if back would be darker would be better. --Mile (talk) 06:34, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know what you mean by chasing lights. I didn't touch the WB, I rarely have to do that. The colors look pretty loyal to reality to me, but I can reduce saturation a bit. Benefit if HDR is to capture the high dynamic range of the scene. Maybe it doesn't stand out to you but with one frame I'd either have a lot of overexposed areas or a lot of underexposed areas, and that is IMHO an issue that I adressed with HDR. Composition is a matter of taste. To me the fountain is for itself a highlight (to me without doubt the nicest in Munich), the smooth water and night lighting increases the wow and the blue sky rounds it.

I'm not yet convinced to buy the 5Ds though. I'm not really impressed with the sensor performance figures and I'm wishing for better dynamic range and ISO performance than megapixels (stitching is enough to provide me with megapixels when I need it).

A Lightroom 6 and Mediawiki metadata viewer discussion
  • Several reasons. I tried to avoid the Mediawiki-LR6-metadata-bug (what didn't work that way, I have to assume). Then I'm often doing HDRs and if you tell LR6 to include the metadata it simply uses the metadata of one of the LDR shots for the HDR version, which is quite confusing. In the end I don't think that the camera settings are that important. If someone wants to know them - feel free to ask. It's not a secret. --Code (talk) 16:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
BTW: I am using Metadata Wrangler in combination with Lightroom. With this little addon you can make very fine adjustments which metadata are included into the exported image. --Tuxyso (talk) 05:47, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I also recently started using the metadata wrangler. It has another positive side effect: It encodes the EXIF in a manner which the mediawiki metadata viewer understands how to decode, thus mitigating the LR 6.1 EXIF export issue. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:33, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What is the LR 6.1 EXIF bug anyway? I've only just upgraded from 6 to 6.1 and haven't uploaded anything new yet... what should I be aware of? Diliff (talk) 19:53, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Diliff, see Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2015/04#Error_in_metadata_viewer?, though the exiftool work-around on that page is not advised as it removes some essential information such as colour profiles. I think Slaunger has an updated version somewhere. I don't think it's a flaw with LR 6.1, just an incompatibility due to MediaWiki making some assumptions. If you use Metadata Wrangler it goes away, plus you get to choose what profile information is embedded. I don't know if there are also issues with Photoshop exports too. -- Colin (talk) 06:56, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I still don't really understand the problem. The Link you provided dates back to April before LR6.1 was released so if it does in some way relate to both LR6.0 and LR6.1, I should have had the same problem in the past too, but I haven't noticed anything wrong. Also, since the examples that Slaunger provides have now been fixed, I'm still no closer to really understanding what has gone wrong with the EXIF for him. He says the metadata fields are 'wrong' but in what way? Corrupted? Missing? It's hard to understand the problem if I can't see an example of it still happening... In any case, I haven't noticed any problems with any of the images I've uploaded. Diliff (talk) 08:00, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an example (until someone fixes it): The problem is that the fields are mixed up, i.e. the value for one field was attributed to the title of a different one. — Julian H.✈ 08:16, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh thanks Julian. Now I see it. And now I can see that it's also affected my images too, although I hadn't actually realised. In my image, The 'author' and 'copyright holder' should have the same information as each other, but somehow it's done the same thing as as in the example you've provided. So do we have any concrete information about whether it only affects LR6.1 or LR6.x? Slaunger's post on the Village Pump received the reply that it is "triggered in files where the values for the exif tags come before the list of tags contained in the file". I assume therefore that Lightroom is responsible for mixing the tags up, and that the EXIF wrangler puts them back in the right order regardless of whether you strip any EXIF data out of it? Diliff (talk) 08:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Diliff It was a mistake that I wrote LR 6.1. The first time I experienced this problem was in late April 2015, which correlates well with the release of Lightroom 6.0. I know it is an issue when using both version 6.0 and 6.1. It is not an actual Lightroom bug, but in these versions Lightroom organises by default the exif data in a (valid) manner, which is however not taken into account by the Mediawiki metadate viewer. Since it does not appear that a fix for the Mediawiki bug is close to being deployed, the best mitigation is to rncode the Exif data in a manner, which the Mediawiki metadata viewer is capable of decoding. For th time being I am aware of two possible mitigations. One is to use an exiftools script, which re-encodes Exif in the problematic jpg file, such that it can correctly decoded by the mediawiki metadata viewer. I recently used such a script to correct about 50 uploads I had made since late April 2015. The other solution is to install the metadata wrangler plugin by Jeffrey Friedl for Lightroom (donateware), which uses (I think) exiftools under the hood. This also has the advantage of giving you much more detailed control over your exif data, like suppress the Lightroom Development settings, or suppress personal information or serial numbers of lens and camera. Since this issue is popping up recurrently, I think I will write down a few instructions. -- Slaunger (talk) 17:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Diliff: I tried to summarize the situation and describe two mitigation methods here: User:Slaunger/Mitigating Mediawiki Metadata Viewer Bug. -- Slaunger (talk) 18:33, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support. Very nicely captured. Although why such a tight crop at the bottom? Did you remove some distracting elements from the foreground? Otherwise it feels a little unbalanced but not a big problem. Diliff (talk) 18:48, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Diliff. No, I did not remove anything. The crop comes from the perspective correction. I will try to give a little more space at the bottom when I'm back at my computer tomorrow. I'm saving up for the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II to avoid these problems in the future but I think this will still take some time. --Code (talk) 19:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't really understand why perspective correction would have resulted in a tight crop at the bottom though. Perspective correction usually has no significant effect on the crop at the top and bottom. It usually only affects the sides because they need to be distorted outwards to straighten the inward leaning verticals. I personally think stitching is a much better option than a tilt-shift lens, but if you think it's a better option for you, great and I look forward to seeing what you do it with. :-) Diliff (talk) 19:30, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hm. If you want to preserve the aspect ratio then perspective correction affects also the bottom, or am I wrong? But as I said - I will give it a try tomorrow. Concerning the TS-lens: Shifting is not the only thing you can do with it ;-) I think it's a very interesting photographic toy in many respects. We will see. --Code (talk) 19:49, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, you can't correct the perspective without affecting the aspect ratio. Correcting the verticals increases the height of the image because it increases the distortion. If you have to perserve the aspect ratio then yes I guess you have to crop something, but that's not a requirement of perspective correction, that's a choice. As for the TS lens, yes I suppose there is also the ability to shift the plane of focus which stitching cannot do, but I don't think the advantage of this is worth the cost of the lens, but that's just my opinion. :-) Also, I just noticed that there's a star shaped white patch just above the doorway. It doesn't look like it's part of the scene. Do you know what it is? Diliff (talk) 20:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, but I'm still confused by two things about it. I see a darker shadow on either side of the star, which means that it is being lit up by the two flood lights. But it is completely white without any texture, and yet everything else around it like the white signs below it are much darker, but they should be lit up similarly to the star, I would expect. The star seems to be 'cut out' and replaced with a white shape. It seems strange. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing though. Diliff (talk) 10:12, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure it's illuminated from the inside though (although I could be wrong), because it doesn't have any lens stars or light bleeding like every other source of light in the scene does - it's razor sharp. When you say "isn't it always a balance between losing more on the side or losing more on the bottom?", I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean specifically during perspective correction? No, (proper) perspective correction follows a mathematically precise formula. However, to do it properly, the software would need to know the focal length/angle of view to know how to apply the distortion (because a 17mm focal length image needs different perspective correction to a 50mm image). If you do perspective correction manually, you can approximate these calculations but it's largely guesswork. This is an example of mine to prove/explain what I mean. Here is a hand-held panorama before and after perspective correction. I've left it uncropped so you can see how the boundaries of the image are shifted. And now here is the cropped before and after photo so you can see where the crop has removed part of the image. You can see that it is only the left and right sides, not the top and bottom that have been affected by the perspective correction. It isn't a choice between cropping the sides or the bottom. There isn't an 'alternative' way to correct the perspective. Diliff (talk) 12:45, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • What I meant is that the result of the mathematical operation of correcting the perspective is (roughly) a trapezoid, and cropping the trapezoid to a rectangle necessarily means cutting something off. Whether that's the bottom or the side is up to the author. — Julian H.✈ 13:04, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well ok, yes technically that's true but in practice, because of the shape of the trapezoid, you have to crop 3 or 4 pixels from the top or bottom for every pixel you save on the sides so it's rarely practical. It's much better to leave enough space around the sides so that you don't have to compromise anything during perspective correction. In this case, I can't see why the crop at the bottom should be so tight, there's plenty of space on the sides. Diliff (talk) 13:09, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow, impressing. Are you going to upload it as a derivative? I would like not to replace this one because the TV tower is somehow part of the arrangement (as Livio said). --Code (talk) 19:49, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info We had a rare small summer storm the other day, and I went to the West Coast of Denmark as sunset was approaching to witness the roaring nature. Since the wind had been hard for many hours at this time, large swells had been building up, leading to large breaking waves when hitting the pier. Image quality is much worse than my usual standards. Due to large amounts of sea spray and sand particles in the air, my lens was covered with a salt film after a few seconds after cleaning it, that combined with the timing requirements and the limited visibility to the end of the pier has led to a low pixel quality. Still I find that the wow mitigates it. Created, uploaded, nominated by Slaunger -- Slaunger (talk) 08:15, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Fun fact: On the evening/night this photo was taken, the unusually strong wind conditions resulted in 116% of national electricity consumption being produced by wind farms and at 3AM the next morning at low demand, wind production exceeded 140% of current demand. The surplus electrical energy was exported to Sweden, Norway and Germany. [5] -- Slaunger (talk) 14:55, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can see venation clearly, the reproductive organs (as the flower is bisexual) and how they connect to the axis, and you can even see the circle in the axis where the stem attaches to the flower, the waxy leaf surface, and even wrinkles in the petals.

Beach chairs at the beach of Sellin (Rügen).
  • Thanks for your suggestion. For me the sky is an important part of the composition so I think it shouldn't be cropped. Without the sky it would just be a photo of beach chairs. With the sky it looks much more abstract and balanced in my eyes. I hope you understand. --Code (talk) 04:51, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • We compare with others for several reasons. The primary one is that FP actually requires it. This isn't "Nice pictures" or "Pictures I Like" but "the finest on Commons". That means we must look at the category of similar images and conclude this is among the very best we have. So being significantly inferior to another Commons image is a valid reason to oppose. Secondly, remember that not everything a reviewer mentions is their "reason to oppose". They may be simply giving examples of where a different approach was taken that was successful. I agree XRay's picture is different, though the subject is the same. If I though this composition / angle of view wasn't successful, I'd hardly suggest you look at a similar one. Certainly I wouldn't expect you to duplicate another image, but one can get ideas and try a variation. The fact that these chairs are identical and patterned and placed in rows is crying out for a photograph that exploits those attributes, rather than one that clumps them together at the bottom of the frame. So "evaluated for itself": no that's not what FP is for. Try QI for that. -- Colin (talk) 06:53, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • FP is not for searching the best picture of a certain subject. That's what VI is for. We're not featuring "The finest picture of a certain subject on Commons" but "The finest pictures on Commons". It's absolutely possible to have more than one FP of a certain subject. Go to Category:Eiffel_Tower and click on "Featured pictures". There are 14 of them! If you oppose a certain FP nomination because you don't like the composition (what seems to be the case here) or because you think the quality is bad it's perfectly ok for me. But just to say there are better pictures of the same subject is not a valid argument in my eyes. --Code (talk) 07:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The criteria is "among the finest" so, no I'm not confusing this with VI, and I already explained that comparison is not all about the oppose reasons but also about suggesting alternative approaches. We have several FPs of some subjects and presumably at each time people thought they were among the finest. It is quite possible for several images to be excellent. How you decided to group the image among its peers is varied as describing the subject/technique is varied. We often compare bird, plant, architecture, panoramas against their peers in those categories. I don't know why you and two others think this is odd, because I'm sure they do it too. If someone nominates an average photo of the Eiffel Tower, I quite expect someone to say "we already have several much better ones of the Eiffel Tower". Or people say "sorry the standard of butterfly photos is much higher than this". We absolutely do not evaluate each candidate in isolation, and I hope you don't. It is really common that images are opposed and the nominator pointed to a category where superior examples can be found. To make it clear, I didn't oppose because this was inferior to the other image of those chairs. I opposed because the composition is poor. -- Colin (talk) 11:57, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is shorthand for, "I don't like the composition of this one, with all the chairs bunched up in a single line below the horizon. The other photo shows how the scene can be captured better." --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • And what is off about the relationship? I know you struggle with wide angle perspective, but this is just how it looks. The vertical angle of view is larger for the ceiling than the floor (you are looking up at the central dome at a greater angle than to the centre of the seating), so the ceiling angles away more than the floor. If I was able to take the photo from exactly half the height of the cathedral, the floor and ceiling would have the same angle. Diliff (talk) 23:10, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Between Colin´s and your comments lies the answer. Basically distorted and out of proportion... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • The problem I have is that I think some people, such as Colin and yourself, have a pretty narrow minded view of what is acceptable distortion. Distortion is often simply an unavoidable characteristic of a wide angle rectilinear projection - it isn't inherently 'the devil' or something that must always be corrected, just as fisheye projection shouldn't always be corrected. Anyway, just my opinion. Enough said already. Diliff (talk) 23:12, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well, you are entitled to your opinion as to our narrow mindness, and such argument could be used on your own judgements. My pictures many times are opposed on grounds that I consider superfluos but such is life. I still think that more of a photographic representation this is more of a photographic interpretation, and I just do not like the way the visual balance of the image, which is a subjective opinion, but based on altered proportion and distortion by your own admission. For me it does not work. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
            • Well I think my enjoyment of some fisheye images shows I don't have some "no wider than 50-degree FOV rectilinear" narrow mindset. And many of us enjoy wide outdoor panoramas. Sometimes one gets away with it and sometimes one doesn't. Here, the angle made with the ceiling gives some misleading impressions and a 2D picture doesn't have the clues to help our brains correct that. The strong perspective is unnatural, making the distant wall seem tiny. One could exploit that extreme perspective in an artistic way but here I don't see advantages to that since it makes the focal-point of the room very small. The choice of where to stand, what to aim at, what focal length to use, what projection to use, where to crop/extend vertically and horizontally are all choices that can make or break a picture. At times I feel you are arguing that because the projection obeys the laws of physics then anyone who disagrees with those choices you made is being "narrow minded". It might be this FOV/projection would have worked if you were higher up birds-eye-view or right on the floor like an ant. Who knows? Here, the combination of factors becomes unfortunate rather than gloriously weird. I'm sure I've supported other pictures you took with similar FOV, but perhaps there the subject was more cooperative. (Or I'm just inconsistent) -- Colin (talk) 07:14, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Composition. If you crop on top to the border of cupola its much more pleasant sight. Try. --Mile (talk) 06:33, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The shape of the ceiling is misleading. This image makes it look like the ceiling has a shallow slope, which doesn not appear to be the case. Also, the extreme perspective of the wide-angle view makes the central crown-of-thorns small and the distant half of the room look tiny. This diminishes the value of the image in illustrating those aspects. I find it hard work to visualise the interior as circular. I suspect this cathedral needs a collection of smaller angle-of-view images combined with a 360 panorama viewer. I don't think trying to capture it in one 2D photo is successful and the effect isn't artistically interesting enough for me to award points on that ground. (I see from the earlier link and this one that there may be a viewing position higher up, though possibly not for the public.) -- Colin (talk) 07:31, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Colin, I still think the arguments you make about the projection of this image could equally apply to fisheye images or any other non-standard wide angle projection. I still don't see it as being fundamentally that different. Yes, this projection isn't 100% rectilinear. The roof has been vertically compressed in order to avoid it being too distorted and that has resulted in the roof not looking as steep as it would normally. I could pick apart your fisheye images of interiors for not being geometrically accurate too, but the point is that non-rectilinear projections are needed to capture a wide scene like this. Yes there are compromises involved, but I think it's better to have a single image that doesn't capture the interior absolutely geometrically accurately than to have numerous single images that don't give you a sense of the overall space of the interior. I agree that a 360 degree viewer would be ideal though. But since we don't have that, I honestly don't see how it could be captured better. Anyway, I respect your opinion that it doesn't work for you, but I just think that it is a legitimate alternative projection just as fisheye or Panini or cylindrical or spherical is. It may or may not work in this instance, but I think it's the best projection for this view. Diliff (talk) 11:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'll see if I can find a projection that doesn't compress the ceiling so much while retaining the other qualities. If I can come up with an improvement, I'll upload it over the top. Diliff (talk) 11:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • It isn't that there's something fundamentally wrong about a chosen projection. I've seen some fisheye of this cathedral and in some ways they look more natural but in others (curved walls) they don't. The decision for a particular scene is whether the flaws of a particular projection when taken to an extreme like this are too much or too misleading. I think fisheye images often give enough clues to the viewer that you are looking at an unusual perspective, where as this doesn't give the same clues. Therefore I think there is too much risk that their eye gets the wrong impression. With all scenes with a wide (or tall) angle of view, there is an increased risk that the distortion of a chosen perspective is accepted or is found unacceptable. Partly that's the subject matter (nobody cares much if the clouds in the sky are stretched) and partly that is viewer expectations and tastes. I don't think the projection + angle-of-view works for this subject. -- Colin (talk) 12:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Most people do seemed to be bothered by curved walls though. Perhaps you're not because you're familiar with the fisheye projection and your bias allows you to view fisheye images without feeling that they are misleading. I'm familiar with other non-standard projections that keep verticals straight but distort other aspects of the image. That may be my bias too. But I don't think most people are familiar with any non-standard projections, particularly when exaggerated by the wide angle of view (hence our many debates with people about whether it's natural or not). ;-) As for the roof's lack of perceived slant, I've given it a go and come up with a number of combinations of no vertical compression, a lack of emphasis straight verticals to let them lean inwards slightly, etc, but none of these adjustments will change the look of the roof. It seems that because I was at a raised POV, the camera is actually looking along the slanted roof to the central cupola and no amount of adjustments will resolve this. The far side is slanted strongly, but because it is distant looking in this image, it is the foreground beams that become your frame of reference. This is just the way it looks from this position I'm afraid, regardless of projection. I just think that sometimes what looks wrong actually isn't, geometrically speaking. The first image you linked to to show the roof slanting at a greater angle is slightly misleading because it's not a particularly wide view and the only beams you see clearly are the ones behind the cupola, not in front and to the side. If you were to see the beams on the left and right side of it, you'd have the same visual effect as in my image I think, although as you say, it also benefits from a much higher vantage point (there certainly wasn't any open to the public - the only vantage points available inside were the two galleries, you can see the other on the opposite end) which helps to lessen the sense of looking up at it. If you're happy with such a narrow view, fine, but I think this interior deserves a more encompassing view. Diliff (talk) 12:15, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Male Prionus besikanus
  • maybe I should elaborate how this picture came into being. This Prionus is a night dweller and not a common one. The picture was taken at 2:30am. It was a rare luck that it came under the light and was still enough time for me to focus on it. To take lateral view picture I had to put the camera side on the ground and pick the least angle possible to catch most of it. Probably this explains the harsh lighting. Considering DOF, I don't quite understand, IMHO the picture clearly shows the 3-D of the scene and the creature. Sir Shurf (talk) 16:11, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Panoramic view of the Nymphenburg Palace, a Baroque palace in Munich, Bavaria (southern Germany). The palace is the main summer residence of the former rulers of Bavaria of the House of Wittelsbach. The palace was designed by Agostino Barelli and constructed by order of Ferdinand Maria and Henriette Adelaide of Savoy in 1664. The castle was expanded and redesigned several times until the last modifications in 1826.

Polar Bear with its tongue sticking out
✓ Done @El Grafo: Thanks!, please, let me know if it is done :) --The Photographer (talk) 17:00, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@The Photographer: Sorry for the late reply: Now that the vignetting is gone, it looks much better from afar, but some details in the snow have been lost. Concerning the sharpening artifacts, I'm not sure if countering over-processing with even more processing is the right thing to do as you're losing information. The other voters seem OK with that though, so I guess i'm gonna stay  Neutral on this one. --El Grafo (talk) 09:01, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The lost information is simply noise (sharpening artifacts because a bit aggressive sharpening), a non destructive noise selectively applied. On the main subject (the bear) was not applied any noise reduction filter. I respect your position neutral vote. Thank you for your comments. --The Photographer (talk) 09:10, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I noticed that you spared the animal from noise reduction (though I think I saw a bit of lost detail at its throat). Concerning the background, well, that's extremely difficult for me to describe. Those sharpening artifacts are different from sensor noise in that they are not simply random but based on something that was there, and even the dramatically exaggerated oversharpened data still contains a bit of that something. If you de-noise that, you will also lose a bit more of that something. Imagine what happens if you repeat that cycle a few times: sharpen → de-noise → sharpen → de-noise … --El Grafo (talk) 10:12, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done I have added the details of the throat. Yes, I agree with you, there exists some kind of information right now, for me is imperceptible, but in the future any computer software could recover and make visible details without noise. It's good to know we have a photo history, someone can always do a better job. I respect your view, but I believe that the current picture (the latest version) is considerably better than the second version, discuss which data on noise is somewhat controversial and hypothetical based on some kind of detail currently there is more than just noise, however, this is just my humble opinion. I honestly prefer never apply noise reduction unless it is absolutely necessary, you should always have a vision for the future, in the future someone can always do better, with possibly more intelligent software. In this case, I thought to apply noise reduction only in areas where the depth of field can not focus. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 11:56, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thanks for support. Any clue for an improvement ?--Jebulon (talk) 11:22, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, I would explore different times of day in order to see how the light interacts with the columns, bringing out more texture. I like early morning or late afternoon light. I think that the point from where you took the picture works very well and is different from what is available. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:10, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ah ok, I understand. I'll watch at your next nominations very carefuly for examples to follow.--Jebulon (talk) 00:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Dear Jebulon, There is a difference between tourist snapshots and serious photography. A tourist snaps a picture that may or may not be taken under ideal conditions, while a serious photographer seeks out the best time of day in order to capture the best light. Photography, from the Greek roots, comes from photo=light and graphos=drawing… painting with light. So, taking into account not only the subject matter, the columns in this case, is not the only consideration. The type of lighting is extremely important also. One must understand the concept of directional lighting and use it when given the chance. This may mean that perhaps your picture, while nicely composed and placed in a certain context, may not be the best image obtainable. Granted, many times one cannot control the quality of light when one is in front of the subject, but also many times one cann go back and stalk the light. In this case, considering the place where you took the picture, and if you are already there, it may pay off to return and look for better lighting. Many times one has to make do with what is on hand, but I think that this is a case where a return visit would be warranted. You don´t have to wait for my future nominations to illustrate this point, for you may look as examples already here and posted below. Directional lighting is used to bring out texture and volume in subjects, and in my opinion is much better and creates better photographs in general.
          • Examples of directional light.

            • Thank you, my dear "Serious photographer". Thanks for the lesson of ancient greek language too. The fact is that I learnt ancient greek during five years, but yes, it was a long time ago, so a "refreshment" of my knowledge is always welcome...--Jebulon (talk) 10:02, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
            • I guess you mean this as "directional light" ? Artistic for sure, but not always very illustrative neither descriptive, and therefore suitable for an encyclopedy media repository as "Commons" is for me. One can submit FPC not only in early morning neither in evening "blue hour"... My poor opinion.--Jebulon (talk) 10:14, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
              • My dear “Ancient Greek scholar Jebulon,” nobody said that either early morning nor late afternoon light is a requirement for FPC. For any particular subject it could be any time, any light, but there will always be one that will be special to the subject.

Galactic Center of the Milky Way lying over a lady.
  •  Comment Hi Livio, I can understand you find it noisy. At 12800, it won't be otherwise. But let me try to demonstrate the mitigating reasons. Shooting milky ways isn't as easy as shooting a daylight landscape or a church interior. Spotting one is hard enough, and when you see one, you realise it's pretty faint in the sky (though definitely noticeable). If I use setting like ISO 100 and even with large aperture such as f/2.0, it would take me a few minutes to get something this bright. But earth rotates, and I'd end up with trails. I think advanced astronomers use motors so their cameras follow the earth rotation ; but if you do so, landscape moves and you can't get the beautiful composition as on this candidate. Shooting milky ways requires short exposure times. Getting something this large shortens them even further (because it takes shorter to "move over more than a pixel"). Even if I'm not clear in my explanations, this picture is still 60 megapixels (!), leaves room for downscaling, and probably renders as good as many FP when printed at the same size. In short : this picture is close to state of the art from a technical point of view, when it comes to shooting milky ways. I bet it's hard to find a better one quality wise, (and especially under such a license). - Benh (talk) 12:42, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  weak support Ok Benh you convinced me, more than anything convinced me that the resolution is actually great. I with my telescope use a motor drive but probably the figure of the girl don't would be clear, however ok.--LivioAndronico (talk) 13:12, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Glad I did ;) the point really is that we can't do much better than this on this kind of topic, technically speaking, so it shouldn't be a reason for oppose IMO (maybe with some clever stacking to reduce noise and even more clever stitching... but that would become insane). Of course, anyone is free to dislike milky ways, composition, the light pollution etc. - Benh (talk) 14:44, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Condom cathedral choir
  • surprised no one has come up with that joke before you. A nice aged lady, who kindly gave me some explanations about that cathedral, was very shocked when I told her what it meant in French! That cathedral isn't the most famous I know but it's in the middle of busy parts of en:Camino de Santiago paths. I only visited it because I had time after I got my photo next to the city's sign (My only motivation for visiting the city... really!). - Benh (talk) 22:23, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I did look at it, but it's not this simple. Not everything is horizontal or vertical where it should. Construction weren't this precise then I guess. But I'll look at it again tonight. - Benh (talk) 06:32, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's really difficult to get these wide angle interior panoramas exactly right. Being off-centre by just a few centimetres is often enough to make things look a bit distorted or with symmetrical objects on either side of the frame looking quite significantly misaligned. Likewise, if the supposedly symmetrical object isn't actually completely symmetrical, the wide angle of view will exaggerate it. Diliff (talk) 15:08, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the (slight) ccw tilt is there. Will try to fix, but need to get all my sources pictures back, develop them to TIFF again (180 pictures !) and then stitch the panorama. Will take me more than a few hours for sure. - Benh (talk) 21:38, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I used my venerable 17-55mm at tele. Bulkier than a prime :) (but less lenses to carry !). I think what separates Diliff's church interiors from the crowd are the interesting compositional choices and especially the wide angle used. Just wide enough to fill in your vision, but not as much as to overwhelm you. This is what I tried to replicate above all. I had a second body, a Fuji X with a 12mm mounted on it to preview how it renders (but went a bit wider than what I saw on screen). - Benh (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah, yes that makes a lot of sense. Looking at the amount of detail you got, I really need to start to worry less about close DOF and move from my 35 to the 50... Shooting this kind of image with an APS-C sensor sounds like a lot of work, though! --DXR (talk) 20:31, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Never found DOF was an issue (but can't make calculation to prove my claim). If you look at it that way, I'm actually at 88mm (35mm equiv.). So I probably shot more pictures to cover the same FOV, hence the amount of details... and hence the additional computing power needed. Thankfully most processing is automated, with little to fix manually on this kind of subjects. - Benh (talk) 21:38, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • DoF can be a problem. Especially for full frame cameras. At 50mm, I need to use f/13 with the hyperfocal distance to get focus from about 1.5 metres to infinity, and thats with some downsampling.. DoF would be even smaller at 100%, and sometimes the background is slightly out of focus, but not that noticeably when the image is downsampled a bit. As with my recent photo taken with my 85mm lens at f/16, even that wasn't sufficient, although I didn't get the hyperfocal distance quite right I think, so DoF wasn't maximised. Also Benh, your 17-55mm lens probably not actually smaller than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens I use! ;-) Mine weighs 200 grams more anyway. Diliff (talk) 17:35, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes might be easier with an APS-C... but I'll have to try to make calculation to see real equivalences (or google for someone who has done it, because I forgot most of my physics and math). That photo you showed me (and which you took the same day, coincidentally ;) ) is pretty amazing technically speaking... And to come back to the topic : DOF is an issue, but not really in most cases. Yours is pretty extreme, and I really don't mind that a few columns or seats are a bit blurred. Having them sharp doesn't really bring anything to the scene anyways. I'd even go as far as to say that blurriness bring a bit of sense of depth. - Benh (talk) 22:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, observed in Kłodzko
Sorry; I had meant to oppose; I had gotten back from Mexico earlier in the day and I was tired and probably shouldn't have been editing. !Vote amended. Daniel Case (talk) 18:22, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't find the composition really appealing either, but the title Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus (or something like that) suggests that the main subject is made of the two dots on the very upper right corner. It's not a successful depiction of the topic in my opinion. It's possible to catch them near horizon to get a better composition (I don't talk about the basic composition on that photo of course). Besides, I really expect to see some other stars in the sky of a photo which promises you "astronomy" (perhaps not as many as on the milky way nom though). - Benh (talk) 17:09, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Livio: I have no words about that. Maybe I want to see his back walking on this road and holding the helmet with his hand. --Laitche (talk) 12:23, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Livio: Yes, of course I knew it but did not realize this photo is him until read your comment. I saw many news in Japanese but all of them had written "ビアンキ", so I didn't know the spelling... Kamui commented about his death, I don't know any more about that in Japan. --Laitche (talk) 16:28, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kg. Salarom, Sapulut, Sabah: A carpenter is working at the frame of a newly built, traditional house in Kg Salarom
All by-- CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 12:01, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I slightly raised the sharpness. For the sky, I have to mention, that it indeed looks like that. If you compare with other photos of my Sabah series, taken at very bright days under bornean light, you will notice, that they all look like that. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 09:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Thanks for review, Daniel, but please check your monitor. I don't know how you sugguest, that the clouds are blown out. I can see structure in every cloud and the histo of the full resolution also tells me, that there is not a single pixel which has RGB 255. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 07:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I checked my monitor, it's alright. However, while it is true that there were no 255 areas, there were a lot that were close (245, 249). So I wondered if I could bring out the clouds a little more. See below. Daniel Case (talk) 02:09, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Sorry to say so, but it is oversaturated now and the sky top left is posterized. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 06:24, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think you need to fix your monitor . But you must admit there's more cloud structure visible. Daniel Case (talk) 15:48, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
