- Support Impressive subject and resolution. The post-processing of the image isn't perfect but the result is still exceptional enough for FP. Would appreciate some information on the image page about camera/lens, number of frames, software used, etc -- these things all help our educational mission. -- Colin (talk) 10:31, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Past-processing not perfect, Colin? There are extreme purple CAs on the background silhouette and all around the trees on the rocks. There are also artefacts of oversharpening at the sky area. I am missing a clear compositional idea - surely the rocks are impressive but imho arranged in a random way. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:16, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Tuxyso I am aware of the CA and noise and other imperfections at 100%, but this is also a 88MP image. If I stick it into IrfanView and resize it to 50% with a little sharpening I get a 22MP image that would rival anything a pro Canon DSLR can produce even with the best glass. Are you punishing the guy for uploading the full size image rather than heavily downsizing? Sure he could improve on this - but I don't know what software he's using or if he can afford anything better. Perhaps the camera/lens isn't that good. The rocks are arranged in a row and I think you'll have to have a word with God about his "random" arrangement :-). I've no idea if there is a better viewpoint but this one does show the formation in good detail, along with pleasant hills in the background - taken at a time of day/lighting when those hills are attractive silhouettes. -- Colin (talk) 15:28, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Colin, I have no complaints with stitchings which are not tack sharp at 100% due to non-downscaling. But a non-downscaled image is no excuse for inattentive processing. Sharpening artefacts and strong CAs are serious concerns especially if we speak of an FPC. My comment on the composition and its randomness was related to the way the rocks were photographed. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:15, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

- I cannot see an improvement with the purple CAs (image cache purged and reloaded the image) --Tuxyso (talk) 15:45, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Bei einer Ansicht von 200% sehe ich auch das Problem, nicht jedoch bei 100%. Das ist marginal, nicht der Rede Wert. Eines möchte ich jedoch nicht verschweigen: die letzte winzige ab 150% sichtbare CA bekomme ich nicht herausgerechnet. Das müsste schon der Upöoader bei den Einzelbildern durchführen. Aber es ist: nur eine unbedeutende Winzigkeit. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Probably we look at different files. I do not review images at 200% view. Take a simple look on this 100% crop - these purple CAs are all around the mountains in the background and don't tell me these are "marginal". --Tuxyso (talk) 16:06, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose chromatic aberration, overprocessed, poor detail, low resolution and uninteresting composition of 95 % blue areas, sorry – the sky would be much more interesting with some clouds in it :-) Try to shift the horizon out of center next time. Either more sky or more ground, but 50:50 is a boring view in most cases. And I’d suggest to consult QIC before putting up a nomination here – an image failing QIC would have to be very special to success here. --Kreuzschnabel 10:17, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose And on top (or on bottom?) of that, the bridge is too small a part of the picture for it to be a useful picture of it. Daniel Case (talk) 20:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose nice, but to much sky and to much water. The bridge is to small. A panorama of several images will be a better option for this kind of images. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:07, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose 1. for size – a picture barely above the minimum requirement has to be very special for me to support. 2. The floor before her feet looks heavily cloned and softened/smeared. At the lower right of her, there’s a sharp piece among blurred ones. That does not work, sorry. Additionally, there’s considerable chromatic aberration in her hair decoration. The shot and pose as such is really very nice but IMHO it’s not among the very best Commons has to offer for the reasons given. --Kreuzschnabel 16:16, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Oppose There’s something about the sky I don’t like. The colour is too blazing, too bright and saturated, and there’s a bright seam along the skyline on the roofs as if there has been severe manipulation.. --Kreuzschnabel 17:30, 29 October 2014 (UTC)- Neutral Sky is OK now. --Kreuzschnabel 12:46, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Per Kreuzschnabel, looks overprocessed. Daniel Case (talk) 18:26, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Neutral OK, the sky is under control. But I'm not sure the composition is FP level now that I have a chance to look at it. Daniel Case (talk) 06:52, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Per Kreuzschnabel. And I don't even care too much whether it's processed or not - the strong saturation is not pleasing to look at and distracts from the rest of the image, so it would make sense to reduce the saturation here imo. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 18:32, 29 October 2014 (UTC)- Support Very nice. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 19:31, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

- CommentDear Jebulon. In this case, only Republicans were assassinated, or saying in a better way, non-fascists. There were also some Nationalist's massacre in Paracuellos del Jarama, in Madrid. But in this case, primarily Republicans. And to your second question. Although this image has not the better angle shot, some of the skulls have in their back a hole, and in some cases, we could identify the bullets inside them. --Mario Modesto Mata (talk) 07:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Even if I'm not sure that the word "fascist" is good for the spanish extreme right wing, so-called "nationalists" (no matter, it is a long discussion...), I thank you very much for this very interesting informations. I'm very interested by spanish history, and by the story of the Civil War. It seems that you were present during this excavation, and that there is another grave at right ? Do you think these victims could be identified ? --Jebulon (talk) 11:38, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- You are right. We can discuss for a long time about the term fascist applied for Spanish Nationalists. Anyway, I was there, participating for two days in the field season. And there are at least 4 mass graves there, that one you can see in the upper right corner, another one which is further, and another one on the left, which is still not excavated. Experts are planning to dig it next year. What I can tell you is that in the three mass graves already excavated, 70 people were identified. Forensic anthropologists took the skeletons to the lab and effectively they are trying to identify each of them, to give, if exists nowdays, to their families. --Mario Modesto Mata (talk) 19:32, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose Sorry to spoil the party – without doubt it’s impressive and of highest historical value, but in the present form the composition looks rather random to me, and not yet the best possible representation. In the first place, I’d crop out the unneccessary and disturbing dark parts on both sides, showing the grave only. Then, I don’t like the slant perspective making some of the numbers unreadable, I think a more upside-down view onto the grave would show more detail. --Kreuzschnabel 10:46, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks in advance for your comment Kreuzschnabel. I can sure you the image was not taken randomly. In the four faces of the mass grave, the only place where I was able to take it 1.5 metres above the level of the grave was in the place where I was taking it. If I were close to the limit of the grave, never mind in which side, even standing up my arms and taken the picture downwards, the whole grave would had never been photographed completely in all of its surface. In fact, I took also these pictures, but the complete surface of the grave did not appeared, and I prefered, effectively, to take the picture with the whole surface of the grave. I was not able to fly a dron to take pictures orthogonally. I am sure the photograph taken from this dron would be better than the image we are commenting, but unfortunately I haven't got it. But thanks in advance. In this way, I would improve my photography to meet your requirements. --Mario Modesto Mata (talk) 14:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for your answer. I’d find it much more suitable for instance had the grave only – from the same point – been photographed in portrait orientation, giving higher resolution on the horrible details. I will not doubt its encaclopedial or historical/political value. --Kreuzschnabel 15:45, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

For not Spanish users: it may be interesting for you to know that the government usually is not promoting any search for killed people during the Civil War, for example, world famous poet Federico García Lorca.

- Done Thanks for your careful review, Colin. I've worked a bit on the sky - I guess the odd looking areas resulted from stitching - I've not done any retouching work on the image. The "dust spot" is also removed, but I think it was no dust because the camera, Olympus XZ-1, is a closed system. To the crop: I have enough space left at the bottom in my original file, but no space left at the top.

- Support --Berthold Werner (talk) 17:02, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Technically fine but I'm not sure the idea has worked. The bushes are distracting and the stop sign isn't really related to the letterboxes. Such a landscape works better with a panoramic aspect rather than 3:2. -- Colin (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- The idea is simple: We drove through the desert for more than one hour and nothing was around us. Surprisingly certain traces of civilization appeared. The stop sign indicated: Stop, some people are living in this lonely area. The letterboxes are a representation for these few people who live in this unsociable area. For me this motive was very eye-catching and I really like it. BTW: I've added a landscape alternative - probably you find it more interesting. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support maybe color banding in the sky, but excellent.--Jebulon (talk) 21:06, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice idea, but the composition is not the best: the letterboxes should stand against the sky, i.e. a lower point of view should be better. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:10, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

[edit]- Comment On the suggestion made by Colin I produced a landscape crop and added it as alternative. Berthold, probably you can also take a look if you prefer this version. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

- I agree with Yann, and simplifying the background (e.g. by using the sky) would have helped bring out the boxes. Or cloning-out! -- Colin (talk) 13:44, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yann, thanks for your comment but the viewpoint was intentionally chosen as it is. If you take a careful look you will see that the bottom of the letterboxes exactly match with the farer edge of the road. I can see no advantage for a lower viewpoint. Cloning out the bushes is imho no good idea - especially not from a documentary perspective. --Tuxyso (talk) 15:38, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info HDR shot of the Pont de la Margineda is a bridge located in Santa Coloma d'Andorra, Andorra la Vella Parish, Andorra. The bridge was built in the 14-15th century and spans the Gran Valira river (biggest in the country). The archstones are pumice, to keep the structure light whereas the walls are made of granite.

- Support The dramatic river is really good. Question Is it a normal light traffic sign at the very right? The red cross looks somehow retouched. --Tuxyso (talk) 23:05, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- There is no edition apart of the HDR fusion, but I could edit it to make it "smoother". It is not a normal traffic light, but rather a sign to specify the direction of a lane that changes during the day. It could be that the cross was even blinking, I am not sure.

- Comment I suggest to crop out the top part (top left is very blurry, and the steel pylon doesn’t add value) and a bit off the right to get rid of the traffic signage. This crop would shift the bridge over the center close to golden ratio. See image note on nomination page. --Kreuzschnabel 10:27, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Support I like the way the eye follows the river to the bridge and the distant hills. I would be reluctant to crop out any of the sky, which adds to the overall picture. It is unfortunate that one's browser tends to start viewing a 100% picture at the top-left, where the image is most blurred, but the rest of the image is sharp. -- Colin (talk) 13:25, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

- Support Composition wise, I like this one more. While the sky was nice, it now seems to have a better focus on the main subject (the river and the valley). It is not too light, not too tight. What comes to the objectiveness, the colors look quite natural to me. The major enchancement seems to have been done for bringing back the sky (otherwise overblown) where the use of HDR is quite reasonable. To be honest, I don't see a major lack of encyclopedic value - atleast not because of that. --Ximonic (talk) 15:55, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

- It’s not a question of limit of people. The idea behind FPC is just not going to the place where a recently promoted FP has been taken, then take and nominate another similar one :-) it should be somewhat different at least to success, in order to gain some variety. – In this case, I suggest to put up a D&R issue vs. the very similar File:VaticanMuseumStaircase.jpg, the technical quality of which falls below todays standards (sharpness, noise). File:Vatican Museums Spiral Staircase 2012.jpg shows a different view. --Kreuzschnabel 08:06, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Kreuzschnabel, I don't think that Livioandronico2013 choose to go to the Vatican museums in order to take same picture as an existing FP! Though if he had, so what. That's a hugely popular tourist destination and a popular staircase for photographs. But certainly, our FPCs should be compared against their peers at FP and other quality photos of the same subject/category. A delist isn't necessarily required, and the old photo has some merit (shot on film, different lighting/contrast, fewer people). -- Colin (talk) 15:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

- Well, it is of a man:) In ancient Indian sculpting and especially in Khajuraho, all bearded figures represent men, and more specifically men with status, royalty etc. All figures are artistically curved, so sometimes it becomes difficult to understand which one is a man or which one is a woman. Its a well-known thing to the local people that this particular curving of two people, refer to homosexuality. Thanks. -- Dey.sandip (talk) 13:58, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

- Support pero ¿está permitido el uso de cebo? Cuando estuve viendo lobos no me pareció que estuviera bien visto. --Kadellar (talk) 12:50, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Español: Los faunisticos en Canidae no recomiendan usar cebos durante la época de amamantamiento o cría de los cachorros lobeznos, esto es debido a que los cebos utilizados por nosotros, los humanos no poseen la calidad de nutrientes que ellos necesitan y están disponibles naturalmente, adicionalmente la leche del lobezno podría causar modificaciones de costumbres nutricionales, por ello él debe acostumbrarse a la comida que va a consumir de adulto. Es principalmente contraindicado la utilización de señuelos durante las épocas de cortejo y apareamiento, debido a que pueden asustar e inhibir el acercamiento a la pareja, sea hembra o macho. Sin olvidar que antes de conseguir una buena foto, hay que tener paciencia y respetar el espacio de convivencia del lobo en su ambiente lobinico natural, el uso frecuente de este tipo de técnicas para forzar esta situación, por uno o varios fotografos sin relación alguna, podría ocasionar estragos conductuales en la vida del lobito --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 13:08, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- CommentEnglish: The faunistic in Canidae not recommend using baits during the time of breastfeeding or raising the cubs, this is because the bait used by us humans do not possess the quality of nutrients that they need and are available naturally, additionally milk the cub could cause changes in nutritional habits, so he should get used to the food that consume adult. It is mainly the use of decoy contraindicated during periods of courtship and mating, because they can frighten and inhibit approach to partner, whether female or male. Not to mention that before getting a good picture, you have to be patient and respect the space of coexistence of wolves in their natural environment Wolverining, frequent use of these techniques to force this situation, one or more unrelated photographs, behavior could cause havoc in the life of the litle wolf --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 19:28, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- CommentFrançais : Le faunistique canidés recommande pas l'utilisation d'appâts pendant le temps de l'allaitement maternel ou élever les petits, cela est parce que l'appât utilisé par nous les humains ne possèdent pas la qualité des nutriments dont ils ont besoin et sont disponibles naturellement, lait en outre l'ourson pourrait causer des changements dans habitudes alimentaires, de sorte qu'il devrait obtenir utilisé pour la nourriture que consomment les adultes. Il est principalement l'utilisation de leurre contre-indiqué pendant les périodes de cour et l'accouplement, car ils peuvent effrayer et inhiber approche de partenaire, que ce soit féminin ou masculin. Sans compter que avant d'obtenir une bonne image, vous devez être patient et respecter l'espace de coexistence de loups dans leur milieu naturel Wolverining, l'utilisation fréquente de ces techniques pour forcer cette situation, une ou plusieurs photographe sans rapport, comportement pourrait causer des ravages dans la vie du petit loup --Wilfredo R.

- Info Thanks everybody for your support!! Really appreciated!! Regarding the question of Kadellar and the multi-lingual comment of Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H., please let me clarify - the "bait" was a fresh dead Roe Deer, not any kind of artificially processed food. As Pugilist mentioned, wolves are incredibly shy animals, and their senses are so amazingly sharp, that you will never be able to get close to one. I have been photographing wild wolves for many years... and I tell you, it is impossible to photograph a wild wolf in Europe at less than 400-500m distance. So what photographers do, and only from time to time, when there is a dead animal available (found dead in the bush, or killed in a road accident etc) is using the dead animal as a kind of bait. There is nothing wrong with this - it is even good for the wolves. From a code of conduct point of view, it is is always preferable to mention when a wild animal has been photographed with the help of bait. What I deeply dislike, and regard as highly unethical, is the use of LIVE bait (which, unbelievably, some people do). --Arturo de Frias Marques (talk) 19:28, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- I have not had long enough lens to photograph these animals. I used camouflage suits, manufactured by myself to photograph birds, but animals like this usually have a highly developed sense, which hinders the approach to sujeto.Yo've heard camouflage smell artificial and made shrub site . I'd love to hear your opinion. This as an alternative for photographers who do not possess long lenses. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 19:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- My experience is that the eyes, ears, and noses of these animals are so unbelievably, fantastically powerful, that no camouflage will work. Let me answer more in detail in your talk page. --Arturo de Frias Marques (talk) 19:42, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

- Support Truly a great accomplishment Arturo! May I propose to add the useful detail about the ethical correct baiting done in this case on the file page, as this is where all relevant details about the conditions of the shot should be placed. After 200 years of absence, the wolf is now back in Denmark, First wild one was found dead, I think, two years ago and now, there is at least one permanently "living" in Denmark - perhaps even a pack, and the DNA proof and photo evidence is right in my Viborg area, but I highly, highly doubt I will ever have the skill and patience to catch a live Danish wolf as you have here.

- I personally don’t consider this rule stupid because FP is a collection of the best images Commons has to offer, in present tense. The idea behind FP is not so much granting a never-revokable "well done" for the photographer but building up a selection of the very best media present. It’s quite natural that old media has to leave while new and better images get in. Of course the rules may be changed but not because they’re stupid in your eyes but as a result of a discussion considering all aspects. Until then, you ought to stick to them when voting here. Your suggestion adds up to discard delisting entirely. --Kreuzschnabel 12:27, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

If we would, any ugly lo-res webcam photo would be featurable if there wasn’t a better similar one. You see this point is ridiculous. This is not VIC, we don’t look for one pic per subject. If there is just one image of a certain subject on Commons, we don’t have to feature it just because there’s no better one! It’s a very simple matter: This very image here is below today’s FP level and therefore it should today be delisted, even if it did reach FP level when it was featured. That’s all. EOD for me, let’s go on with the voting. --Kreuzschnabel 16:37, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

- For sure you are amazing photographer and you take really great photos, but those from Peace Church in Świdnica... well I don't like it. IMO colours are oversaturated and too bright.--Jacek Halicki (talk) 20:46, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I agree that the colours are reasonably accurate too. When the light is cold outside and warm inside, it is impossible to get both looking neutral (without selectively desaturating them, that is). They will always be blueish and yellowish. But I do think the overall tonality looks... strange. It looks a bit cartoonish, but that could be simply because the interior itself is. It almost looks like a film set to me, a replica of a real church interior! Diliff (talk) 11:34, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

- Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 16:57, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support This is a window in a facade of stucco inside of the "Cuarto Dorado", one of the part of the Nasrid Palaces inside of the Alhambra of Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It is very beautiful by itself, and could be featurable (IMO) without further explanations. But what is fascinating here (to me) is the repetition (by many ways, in many forms, see annotations) of the motto of the Arab Nasrid dynasty, which ruled over the muslim kingdom of Granada from 1238 until his fall, the very end of the "Reconquista", January 2, 1492. This motto, Wa lā gāliba illā-llāh (ولا غالب إلا الله), means "Nobody is victorious, but God". These sculptures and walls are dated from the 13th-century C.E. (therefore not perfectly straight everywhere...), and are classified as "Kufic florid calligraphy works". Please see here (in french), for other elements and links about "Al-Andalus".

- Info The São Paulo See Metropolitan Cathedral — "See" and "cathedra" mean "seat" and therefore the ecclesiastical authority of a bishop or archbishop (in Portuguese: Catedral Metropolitana, or Catedral da Sé de São Paulo) is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Paulo, Brazil. As of 2013 the Metropolitan Archbishop of the archdiocese was Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer. Its construction, in Neo-Gothic style, began in 1913 and ended four decades later. It was ready for its dedication on the 400th anniversary of the foundation of the then humble villa of São Paulo by Chief or Cacique Tibiriçá and the Jesuit priests Manuel da Nóbrega and José de Anchieta. Despite having a Renaissance-styled dome, the São Paulo Metropolitan Cathedral is considered by some to be the 4th largest neo-gothic cathedral in the world.

I am just a bit afraid that this forum of picking the very best images on Commons might go down to a „nice picture“ voting, collecting "Like"s as if we were on Facebook. Just "liking" an image is IMHO not enough for an FP support, I expect an FPC to be outstanding in some way, be it composition, lighting, impressiveness or technical execution.

- I do not want to discuss the guidelines. But an image barely above our 2 mpix minimum has to be very special to get my support. This very picture, though not showing the best technical quality (noise, sharpness), conveys a very special mood and is unique in this way, that’s why I am still considering which side to lean to. Would be helpful if you'd try not to sound offended. --Kreuzschnabel 06:23, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- I do not feel offended, I like the negative comments, especially when they help me become a better photographer, however, there are realities that can not change, for example, things that depend on the ability of the camera. I notice several of yours comments regarding the size of my nominations , that's the reason I think it is important that you propose a change requirements that are currently in 2mpx. It's always good to note not only the problem but a solution, I hope you can raise any alternative technique to improve the size. I sounded rude, that was not my intention, I appreciate your comments. --The Photographer (talk) 08:27, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with Kreuzschnabel that the resolution guideline is a (fairly) hard lower limit but each image must be judged for itself. Low resolution/sharpness and other technical weaknesses are balanced against artistic merits and each reviewer comes to their own conclusion. I prefer if reviewers have freedom to take resolution into account when judging, rather than for us to ignore resolution if >2mp. -- Colin (talk) 08:52, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

- Weak Support Nicely lit and well framed. There's a triangle between the eye-lines of the figurine, the man and his hand placing the candle, which is excellent. The casual clothes of the man weakens the mood a little, though. However, I can't ignore the issues Kreuzschnabel notes. I suspect you had to crop heavily to achieve the framing presented here. I tried to search for similar images online, thinking this would be a popular subject and easily reproduced. But am disappointed with what I found. So on balance I think the excellent image wins (just) over the low resolution. (BTW, I don't think the image title is useful/helpful, and the page needs proper categories for the actual subject of the photograph -- currently it would be like me taking a photograph of my minister and calling it "Religion in Hertfordshire"). -- Colin (talk) 08:52, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- Done Nice review, I added more categories. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 11:21, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- Weak Support It's the mood and composition which makes this image shine and I don't feel the need to zoom in, so I'm OK with the size. It's a bit noisy, but since it's no color noise that doesn't really bother me in this case.

- Oppose In era of 40 Mpx, with 16 being avarage you could at least put some surplus pixel. --Mile (talk) 09:31, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Mile, where are these 40Mpx cameras? Perhaps there are one or two people on Commons with a medium format camera. Averages are utterly meaningless -- one might as well say the average pixel colour at FP is green so why is this so yellow. One simply can't compare multi-megapixel stitched panoramas of buildings with a candle-lit portrait. I love fantasticly high resolution images as much as the next person here (and have uploaded some > 200MP) but they are a completely different kind of photography to this. There is far, far more to photography and art than MP or sharpness -- but gear-obsessed camera forums might give another impression. Many people here have cameras at 12 or 14 MP and it only takes a 50% crop to drop down to the size presented here. If I'm right that this has been cropped rather than downsized, then yes The Photographer could have zoomed more and composed the scene better in-camera. I don't disagree with your oppose for the low resolution offered here, but please your argument is not valid or fair. -- Colin (talk) 09:53, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I think its time to raise 2Mpx limit, which was set long ago. Nothing personal, nor spceial, simply all went up, resolutions, screens, you can get now screenshot of 4K as photo suitable for FP "Photo" nominee. --Mile (talk) 10:10, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Mile I agree this is a fact, but we must consider that this is a global work(IMO) and we take into account that not everyone has access to cutting-edge equipment (here an equipment cost in real prices for a employed person are 4-6 times in other parts of the world!).We want only photographers who have advantages in cost and equipment acquisition will post photos here on Commons? Evaluate you how many publishers turn their photos into "featured" and distribute it geographically, both the source of editor and a location of the pictures ... it's impressive. Isn't a critical and there are other factors to consider but I think a bit of insight does not hurt. -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 13:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- I do think an oppose over size is reasonable decision here, just that Petar's arguments about 40MP cameras isn't quite reality. FYI, The Photographer's 12MP camera produces a 3MP image if cropped 50%. Someone with a 24MP camera gets 6MP after a 50% crop and someone with a 36MP D800 gets 9MP. There's a big cropping advantage to having the latest and most expensive kit. I do think that the days where we accept a < 5MP architecture or studio portrait at FP are probably numbered, if not already past. 5MP prints in high quality to A4. The very latest 5K displays are 14MP, but are a few years from being common. On en:wp FP, the limit is 1500px on the shortest side, which corresponds to about 3.4MP for a 3:2 image. I'd like to retain the option to accept low MP if the image has other compensating qualities, but wouldn't mind increasing the general threshold a bit, or having a higher threshold for some kinds of image. -- Colin (talk) 15:54, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- I like your equilibrium of argument Colin. About the above, on the other hand the quality of optical resolution of the sensors are inversely proportional to it, so this linearity is not correct(if I understand correctly, teach me if I'm wrong). For the same sharpness and an acceptable noise (especially in dark areas) in economic sensors (or entrance) the cut should be much higher for an acceptable result (not counting the lens set). But it is right to opposition vote. I am not opposed to the vote, just throw another viewpoint on the matter, I also like to have all the perfect images at high resolutions, but I try to have an overview of all aspects, vote and share my opinion. ; ) -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 17:22, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment D300 is a bit older but still very good camera, has 12 MPx. Not cheap, and still good priced as used. Looking just at photo, agree no need for bigger, no more aditional data to get from such. No need. If would be croped, no problem, it happens. But if downsizing becomes habbit for avoiding this and that, then it is not so good anymore. I am wondering, how would voting go if photo would be fullsized. Would it make difference ? On the other hand. Cropping by 50% still makes bigger than this size, and yet question, did you take good composition, did you know what to shot at ? Could be photo feautered if not knowing what would be on ? Question to Wilfredo, is it croped or downsized ? --Mile (talk) 18:51, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral Nice image, but IMO too much noise.--XRay talk 16:18, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- I have a strong suspicion the vast majority of re-uses of images on Commons are more than satisfied by the current size requirement. Printing images above A4 size can't be common. Moreover, if average screen res is a gauge (31% @ 1366x768) this might be useful: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_resolution_higher.asp in determining needs goign forward. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:34, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Getting slightly off-topic, but mobile and pad web browsing now exceeds desktop usage, and w3schools is most likely to be browsed on a PC at college or work, which tend to be low-cost displays. I'd say around Full-HD 1920x1080 is probably the most common display size purchased right now on any desktop and quality mobile devices, and 2048 x 1536 on current tablets. Which puts this image on the threshold of filling an Apple/Google tablet display. A Diliff multi megapixel cathedral, or Google Art painting is amazing because it can be explored, not just for what size it could conceivably be printed or displayed at -- which doesn't really apply to this image. I think the 1500px on the shortest side rule is a reasonable one for today for some kinds of image, but for other kinds it can encourage downsize-for-the-web. -- Colin (talk) 20:45, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I tend to blame the lens for coma, a 18–200 mm superzoom would naturally not serve as a master in sharpness and contrast control like a 50 mm prime would have done here (see lenstip.com, worst coma just at 50 mm focal length!). – What’s worse, the image is overexposed IMHO, the automatic metering did not guess quite correctly, thus Oppose.

- Info North transept (with the north wall in the middle) of the Salisbury Cathedral, located in the city of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, is the largest in Britain. The temple, an Anglican cathedral, is one of the leading examples of Early English architecture. The canopy on the left is dedicated to John Michael Peniston (Salisbury architect), in the tomb in the middle lies Bishop John Blyth (Bishop of Salisbury between 1493-1499) and the statue on the right honours the historian Richard Colt Hoare.

- Support The conditions, with bright sunlight, are difficult and the stained glass is not blown. However, the direct sunlight on the stone is completely blown (it may have been pulled back to an off white, but there's no detail). But those areas are small overall and the important aspects are exposed fine. Btw, in my discussion with Poco_a_poco he said he used enfuse for HDR. This is an exposure fusion technique that does not generate a high-dynamic-range intermediate stage, nor does it apply any tone mapping. The effect can be more natural than that produced by crude tonemapping software like Photomatix, but several of my textbooks regard Lightroom's tonemapping as the current state-of-the-art when fed a 32-bit floating-point HDR tiff. One still needs another tool to produce such an HDR tiff (e.g. Photomatix), however. That's the technique I believe Diliff uses with success, though the intermediate files are huge. My guess is that 3 exposures were insufficient to capture the full dynamic range in this scene. -- Colin (talk) 21:16, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Indeed I use the enfuse tooling for my (pseudo-)HDRs. I've been using it for over one year and I am pretty convinced about the results, so I'll keep doing it, but of course a matter of taste. Poco2 21:21, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment I always have problems judging digital reproductions of paintings entered at FPC, because I'm missing criteria for what makes such a reproduction featurable. Is it enough to have an awesome painting or or should the focus lie on the quality of the reproduction? For instance, while this certainly is an outstanding painting, I fail to see what makes this particular reproduction of it stand out against alternative versions such as this one. Sure, it has a higher resolution, but that alone doesn't make me go "Wow!". If I was able to discern individual brush strokes or the structure of the canvas, that would be a different story. This version, though smaller in size, seems to contain much more fine detail. That's likely due to downscaling or sharpening in post-processing, but if viewed at screen size it looks much sharper. As someone who hasn't seen the original, it's impossible for me to judge which one does represent the original better. In this special case, it's also bugging me quite a bit that the immediate source for the reproduction is simply stated as "unknown" though the image has been uploaded by a bot. All in all I tend to Oppose this one. --El Grafo (talk) 16:56, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- El Grafo The image was painted by a notable painter during a notable time in American art history. While I will not dispute your views, I want to let you know that the scene looks nothing like that right now (an interstate, railroad, and a federal highway all cross the oxbow) and there is a lot of development in the area. It looks far from pastoral now, so that kind of makes the painting a bit nicer looking. Regardless, I just wanted to comment here and completely respect your rationale. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:39, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for understanding, Kevin Rutherford. I have no doubt that this is a very valuable painting for multiple reasons. Might be worth a try to nominate it for FP at Wikipedia, where they seem to rate educational value much higher. Cheers, --El Grafo (talk) 09:08, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Maybe fixable by re-stitching after masking the unsharp areas (provided that the source images overlap wide enough). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kreuzschnabel (talk • contribs) 00:35, 6 November 2014 UTC (UTC)
- To be honest, I don't even see it. Maybe it's there, but it must be very subtle. Given the overall sharpness (even the least sharp areas are probably sharper than most images nominated here) and high resolution, I don't think it's really cause for opposition. Diliff (talk) 06:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Actually I see it now, but I still think it's quite insignificant. I guess it was maybe because I had not locked the focus and each frame had a slightly different focus distance. Diliff (talk) 06:37, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- The unsharp bit is no less sharp than many FPs. Consider that to see the unsharpness at 100% on a typical desktop monitor, you are looking at a poster 2.2m wide from 30cm away (that's 7.4 feet wide from 1 foot). -- Colin (talk) 15:56, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment An interesting portrait, I need to think/compare a bit more to make my decision. I'm a bit uncomfortable with the image title -- seems a little 19th-century-ethinic-classification to me. Assuming Wollaita is the town/village, then even "Girl, Wollaita, Ethiopia" would be better imo. I looked at Rod's photostream and albums (https://www.flickr.com/photos/rod_waddington/sets/) and see there's a huge amount of high quality photography from round the world, all with a free licence. Since Rod is clearly happy to give away his images, I wonder if it would be a good idea to invite him to join Commons. He'd be able to help better classify and annotate his images, use them in WP articles and also interact with us at Featured Pictures. One difficulty that can occur at FP with external images is that any problems with the image or description/location/classification become difficult to resolve -- something that doesn't occur if we can talk directly. It would also enable Rod to nominate his own best images from his collection. I could send him a Flick message, but perhaps you want to invite him here since it's your nomination. -- Colin (talk) 13:22, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Rod relicenced his photos after my request, and have invited him to Commons on a few occasions. As to the non-issues you raise, Rod always adequately names his photos, so it is very easy to categorise, etc. The en:Wolayta people are an ethnic group in Ethiopia. russavia (talk) 02:50, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

- Where are these "white guys" considering it "degrading to be Wollaita"? Pugilist, The Photographer. Let's not be careless with the "racist" word. Classification of people primarily by their race or ethnic group has a troubled history (slavery, eugenics and genocide have their roots in the consideration that someone is not "a fellow human being" but one of "them"). While the study of ethnic groups is a valid science, tourists photographing indigenous people is increasingly seen as exploitative. I have no idea of the circumstances surrounding the taking of this photograph (and others in the Flickr group) so I trust it was respectfully and considerately done. Several hundred years of European oppression of other people groups makes me uncomfortable with such labelling. This lady is a person with a name, a family, an occupation; she is not a butterfly specimen. -- Colin (talk) 20:57, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- Colin: It is off topic and we could probably have a long discussion about this. I guess nobody disagree that slavery etc. was and is horrible and nobody disagree that the person on the photograph is a person with a name. My point was a little different. Pugilist (talk) 22:01, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- I would like to know what your point was, because all I see is an attempt to paint "the white guys here" as racist (i.e. thinking it is degrading to be Wollaita)", which is unacceptable and should be retracted. You've made a lot of assumptions, including that "most Wollaita people are quite proud to be Wollaita" rather than "completely reject ethnic grouping as a means by which to consider oneself better than another". You should note my point is whether ethnic/racial group is desirable primary classification (ie. filename) not whether it is a reasonable secondary classification (category), which it is (if done correctly). But we lack any other information about this person, so what can we do.. -- Colin (talk) 22:26, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Guys/gals, can we please have just a little bit of decorum here. I'm not a FP regular, but if the above is indicative of what goes on here perhaps this part of commons needs to be looked at. For the record, Rod and I are discussing the image, and the background behind his photography, on Flickr, and quite frankly some of the comments above are embarrassing for us as a project. russavia (talk) 06:10, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- russavia, your comments/discussion on Flickr just confirm my comments made initially (which you rejected as non-issues) that it is vital to encourage photographers to nominate their images and take part in the discussion. The above is indicative of how badly a nom can go when the photographer is unable to supply additional information/background. I was uncomfortable with the labelling, which anyone with an iota of knowledge of history would appreciate, but that discomfort doesn't extend to the point where I think it wrong -- I did support after all. I've made no suggestion that anyone might be uncomfortable being "identified as Welayta". It is one thing appearing online in someone's Flickr stream alongside friends and family. Quite another to appear randomly in a category in a database and labelled purely by ethnic group like one is a butterfly specimen. From the discussion on Flickr, I get the impression Rod is considerate of all these things and happy to elaborate on the background. You on the other hand, still seem to think these "non issues". One thing I do agree with you is that Pugilist's comments are unacceptable. -- Colin (talk) 11:57, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info The observatorio Mojon del Trigo is an observatory, which was built in in 1902 and contained a 32 cm Cassegrain type KYOTO reflector telescope donated by Georgetown University. It is located in the vicinity of Pico del Veleta (3394m) in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Spain at a height of about 2600m. The observatory was abandoned in the 1970s and deterioated into a ruin as documented by our own Jebulon in 2010, who also was with me on this occasion (thanks for showing me this place!). Since then, the observatory has been restored and is today in good shape (as seen from the outside, at least, I have not been inside). Nearby is also barracks used by the Special Operations Command of Spain. Here, the observatory is seen in evening sun as viewed from nearby Monument of Our Lady of the Snows. From this view point, the modern Sierra Nevada Observatory established 1981 can also be seen, but in the opposite direction.

- @Lauro Sirgado: Thanks for your review. This is something I considered prior to upload, and I believe I have made the best compromise. The building does not have straight walls. I have chosen to align it such that the left end wall, and the verticals at the door are vertical. The right end wall is inwardly inclined and I do not think you can assume the transition between the salmon painted surface and stune foundation shall be strictly horizontal. It is taken at a focal length of 194 mm, so I do not think perspective distortions come into play either as the field of view is really rather small. -- Slaunger (talk) 14:23, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Take a lower vantage point to make the boat look bigger in the image, maybe even make it rise above the horizon. This way it’s just a boat on the beach.

- Comment A crop could help remove the overprocessed area? ArionEstar (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support Ok, looking at the picture, rather than the pixels... We've got excellent evening light highlighting just the right side of the castle and picking out the texture of the wooded island hill. The sky is colourful with interesting clouds, reflected in the still water -- which is still enough to reflect the island and display the sand and seaweed. The island is positioned well within the frame with a leading line towards it, helped by the couple walking towards the subject. The wide angle lens, chosen aperture (f/11), and focus distance ensure front-to-back depth of field at the expense of any one portion being pixel-peeping sharp. The overall exposure is just right for an evening sunset. Ok, so putting my pixel-peeping hat on... there's a little green CA on the left of the island and a halo between the land and sky that is either over-sharpening or an imprecise mask. There's a fairly obvious gradient filter on the sky which I personally am not too keen on but is very common practice. At 100% there isn't a whole lot of fine detail, but this is 15.8MP so I can downsize if I like my pixels sharp and this would easily print A4 to high quality. It's a great picture. -- Colin (talk) 22:52, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

- I think neither forum/competition gets it right. A.Savin is right: technical quality doesn't seem to have any weight at WLM, producing winners that cannot be printed or displayed in a gallery without bringing shame. But I think this one image is the wrong one with which to conduct our regular WLM bashing and in doing so makes us look like we are unable to see the picture for the pixels. -- Colin (talk) 08:35, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support Agree with Saffron (and I myself used to pixel peep too much) but it's true that the processing is awful. Hope author sees us and can reprocess and go lighter on NR. Other than that... a beautiful place, superb lighting, very nice composition with the tourist adding some little context. They all mitigate the processing to me. - Benh (talk) 12:21, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I also don't have a problem with most of the processing choices and could probably even live with the overprocessed trees on the island. What I can't live with is that thin bright strip running along the horizon, since it's visible even in the thumb of the nomination page in some areas around the castle. --El Grafo (talk) 16:00, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Very beautiful; this is the type of image I'd be willing to accept some lack of resolution for, but my limit is that it must look perfect at 2 MP. Unfortunately, I can still see the effects of NR on the island, which also has large areas of blackness. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:20, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose There’s something wrong with the sharpness. While the top of the tower is crisp sharp and highly detailed, the trees below the tower are very blurry, but the near trees on the right are sharp again, so it’s not a DoF issue (which would be surprising at f/8 and 24 mm). I find that rather distracting. On the compositional site, it’s a good image but a bit too straightforward, leading to lack of wow. --Kreuzschnabel 18:18, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the focus is for sure on the main object (the tower) and not the trees. Apart from that I can't realize a problem with the sharpness, your are the first until now. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:15, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Of course the focus is on the main object (as I already wrote, if you just read more carefully). I just wonder why foreground and main object are both equally sharp while another area between their distances is unsharp. --Kreuzschnabel 21:01, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I read your note carefully. A single shot can never be in every pixel in high sharpness. To claim a every-pixel-high-sharpness is not realistic. This you should now. I see no problem for the picture quality because of some not very sharp tree branches that are not main object. --Wladyslaw (talk) 21:11, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, but you obviously didn’t read carefully enough. The point is: I just wonder why foreground and main object are both equally sharp while another area between their distances is unsharp – the antennas are of excellent sharpness, and so are the foreground trees, but the trees below the tower (which are closer than the antenna!) are not. Of course a single shot cannot be sharp in every pixel, but if the DoF is sufficient to show both antenna top and foreground trees sharp, then the bottom trees, the distance of which is in between, should be sharp too. This picture appears to have two different focal distances, that’s what distracts me. --Kreuzschnabel 04:26, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- If this is the 24-70, this lens shows tons of field curvature at 24, so large parts outside the center will actually be focused closer than the center, therefore nearer objects will be sharper than expected, while far-away subjects are not very sharp at 100% (not that I would describe this as an issue here). This is an example (on a DX!, even worse on a FX)--DXR (talk) 08:15, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for the first matter-of-fact answer to my question! That really explains it, so it’s a weakness of the lens used. As for my opinion about the image, though it’s altogether nice, this one issue still distracts me too much to support. --Kreuzschnabel 08:51, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment See my answer of 4:26 UTC. Sharpness of the antennas is excellent of course, I never doubted that. But the trees at the bottom of the tower are much too blurred for me, considering that the (much closer!) foreground trees at the right are crisp sharp again, and DoF at 24 mm and f/8 should be ample sufficient to show everything sharp in this frame. --Kreuzschnabel 04:26, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info created, uploaded and nominated by Benh -- Benh (talk) 12:00, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support a 5 years old picture that I finally managed to process in a decent way. Compared to the previous nom, it has less ghosts, better colors, and much better projection, which allows to both show that the place has a square shape and squeeze the wide FOV (~200°) in the frame. Hope it's still up to today's standards. Note that the place seems to be in renovation, and catching the fountain in function is not possible for the moment. Also note that due to extreme stretching on the sides, I cannot provide a bigger version. -- Benh (talk) 12:00, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
OpposeAs in QIC. Sorry, dear Benh, but I'm not a fan of this kind of deformations (of course on purpose), especially for a Renaissance place which is named "Squared square", this is not very respectful of the will of the architect ! The exposure and light are as usual excellent and very appealing,but the central pavilion is really leaning to the right, left and right crops need more symmetry, and ghosts are too prominent for my taste.--Jebulon (talk) 17:07, 10 November 2014 (UTC)- Changed for Neutral, per my opinions above. No more technical flaws, but I still disagree with the choice of deformation.--Jebulon (talk) 09:59, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Benh try PTGui (in rectilinear projection), i always get some similar "unwanted" roofs with Adobe. This photo is worth to save. --Mile (talk) 17:13, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sure Benh didn't chose panini general (I guess?) by accident. Rectillinear looks awkward above 120°, and 200° is just impossible physically. I am more worried about the obvious decentering and the asymmetry (or is it reflective of architectural realities?) --DXR (talk) 18:25, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you for the reviews. It's as DXR said. You can't fit this much FOV into the frame with a rectilinear projection (to give a sort of context, the image starts on the left behind the viewer and ends on the right behind the viewer again). It's my choice to get this close to the bassin (for composition), and as a tradeoff, buildings are bended a bit. But I don't think it's this distracting here, and we have many other pictures with similar amount of distortion. I can understand it's not to everyone's tastes. But for the ghosts, I couldn't get a moment without them, or it wouldn't be at dusk (window is small between the moment they start to lit the building, and when the sky gets dark, and many lovers enjoy the moment). You'll have to trust me, but it's already quite an improvement if you could see the raw pictures. I'll only try to fix the symmetry issue, but it may be the building itself. - Benh (talk) 19:00, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I love the lighting and don't mind curvy buildings. The lights in the pool direct the eye towards the fountain. The pond does rather dominate the picture. Looking at File:Louvre Cour Carrée June 2010.jpg I see the true scale. And File:Cour Carrée (Palais du Louvre) 2.jpg, taken from much further back, shows a more conventional projection (if still rather wide-angle) is possible while capturing the same extent of building. Would a crop 2620 down from the top remove some of the hugeness from the pond (and mostly eliminate the most troublesome ghost)? -- Colin (talk) 20:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
OpposeI must say I think the blueish colors of the pond, etc are overdone and the main buildings too saturated. I like the projection in this one, but much prefer the colors you had in your very first upload of this image in 2009. This is too 500px'ish for my taste, sorry. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:53, 10 November 2014 (UTC)- Support Much better with the new edit! -- Slaunger (talk) 19:44, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support The issues discussed above do not bother me. -- Ram-Man 00:08, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I can sympathize with you on this one. Looking back at the old one, I prefer the colors on that one and the projection used on that reduced the size of the biggest ghost at the front. Perhaps a mixture of Slaunger's suggestion of the old colors and Colin's for a crop? --Muhammad (talk) 02:27, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose --Hubertl (talk) 03:33, 11 November 2014 (UTC) too close to kitch. But i appreciate the panini projection!
- Colin, I'm not sure I got you for the crop suggestion. I'm looking at the color issue. As a more general topic, I do listen to reviews, that's a reason why I'm here. But for some issues, I won't. The big pound was on purpose from the start, I won't change on that, either this picture gets promoted or not. I like how different of a point of view it provides on the place. Maybe that's what a fly sees => encyclopedic value ;). @Muhammad, saw ur change, but not quite satisfied with resulting projection. I think it's better I do it from my Hugin project files. If I'm not successful but you still think it's worth it, I'll be happy to give away my RAW for you to try. Be back with some changes/fixes. - Benh (talk) 20:20, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Benh, I totally respect that it is your image and creation, so stick to what you intended. Sometimes, we are not ourselves quite sure how best to crop. -- Colin (talk) 21:14, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Fixed DXR, Colin, Slaunger, Muhammad, Hubertl, I fixed all issues mentioned above, that is: symmetry, too cool WB and oversaturation yielding kitsch results. I chose not to crop, I like the pound as it. And btw Colin there was nothing personal in my remark. I appreciate your reviews as usual either a support or oppose. Just sometimes we have to stick to our artistic choices as u said. Something I couldn't fix : ghosts. But even though one may not realise, I removed a lot of them already, and for the reason explained above, it's difficult to have none of them in such a touristy place, at such a lovely timing of the day. Maybe some skilled editor could clone the remaining ones out. Thank you for the feedbacks. Quant à toi cher Jebulon, j'essaie de te convaincre : pour obtenir ce point de vue, on ne peut pas garder toutes les lignes droites. Il faut parfois accepter les concessions, de même que ça ne choque personne d'avoir une Antarctique grosse comme deux fois la Russie sur les planisphères ;) (c'est exactement le même problème de projection). J'aurais pu reculer pour avoir qq chose de "standard", mais à quoi bon ? Après si tu n'aimes pas... je dormirai un peu moins bien ;) - Benh (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
Je comprends que ce type de projection ne permet pas les lignes droites, mais je suis choqué que la courbe du fronton ne soit pas symétrique: ça penche à droite, c'est incontestable. Et rien ne me devrait s'opposer à ce que ça soit droit, sauf une erreur, la même qui fait d'ailleurs que les deux pavillons sur les deux côtés ne peuvent pas être coupés symétriquement, sauf à risquer de décentrer l'image.

- Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff. I've considered nominating this image in the past as it's always been among my favourites from Salisbury Cathedral, but I wasn't sure that the unusual angle and projection would be well received here. Given the success of my previous nomination which had a similarly unusual angle, I thought I'd give this one a try. The focus is on the ceiling of the Lady Chapel, but the projection, which is spherical, and the wide angle of view allows you to see the stained glass windows of both sides in such a way that would otherwise be impossible with a regular rectilinear projection. Diliff (talk) 11:09, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- Diliff (talk) 11:09, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support A very pleasing design. I don't mind if it becomes somewhat abstract due to the odd projection. A similar situation occurs with macro photographs that can be like nothing any human could visualise. However, neither the file title nor image description gives any clue as how the distorted view is produced/configured. I sometimes stick "fisheye" in my filenames to make it clear this isn't a regular projection. But at least the image description should say something, perhaps linking to or explaining the projection chosen. -- Colin (talk) 13:01, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose We have many mountain snowscape featured pictures (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.). This one is flat and boring in comparison, consisting of mostly white with relatively low texture and wild shapes (aesthetic features). The fact that it is a panorama makes it more illustrative, but at the same time limits its visual impact: my eye is drawn the the left side, but there is "action" on the small object at the top and the tiny skiers on the right. -- Ram-Man 17:58, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Ram-Man. I think it could do with cropping away most of the foreground and the heavily-tracked snow, which is an unpleasant contrast to the mostly unbroken snow with the scattered skiers along slim tracks that we see elsewhere in the scene.

- I just want to give my very personal opinion about pictures like those: I am always impressed to see, how much work it is, to make really good pictures. It simply requires a deeper understanding not only in dealing with the technical side, but also in the understanding of how the two will play together. Light and technology. I want to express, that good photos are only very rarely randomly taken - mostly it is more than just a shot. Naturally, it includes intuition in the question of motive selection. But if you are able to master the technical side - like this and in most cases too - then you will get the head free for that, what the world can offer. BTW, when rotating this image 90 degrees to the right, I see a perfect design for a futuristic, green skyscraper. But in this case, it is bad cropped at the top ;-) --Hubertl (talk) 09:17, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for that comment Hubertl, it made my day . I am techically very happy about this photo as it is the first time after many failed attempts that I have managed to get a succesfull multiple exposure panorama, which spans a large dynamic range from the almost completely dark sky to the strong point light sources from street lamps. It is also my first serious attempt with my new prime lens, a Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM (a birthday present, thank you, wife). All photos were taken at the maximum aperture and up to the maximum exposure time of 30 s, and I am happy that even at this large aperture the image quality is till very good with no noticeable CA. One of the lessons I have learned is to keep my not-so-rugged tripod with less long legs at a lower kneeling height, to make it more rugged, make sure it is not very windy and tighten the grip very tight to avoid shutter snap. And of course use a timer to avoid vibrations from physical manipulation (I do not have a remote control). And thanks for the futuristic sky scraper observation, LOL, I had not seen that, but you are right! I can, by the way provide a wider crop as I have much more to the left, it just got a little boring and made the aspect ratio too extreme if I included it. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:31, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment Beautiful...but there isn't a little too of purple? --LivioAndronico talk 16:50, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- Livioandronico: Thanks for your observation - you are right that it is quite purple. I have used a "Canon Flourescent" whitebalance of 4050 K because the lamps are the main light source. I do not know exactly what the origin of the slight blue/purple color in the sky is. Maybe city light, maybe a little reminescent "twilight" (we are at 9:30 pm). To the eye it looked very black and it was only in the 30s shutter time, f/2.8 exposures that this dark purple color casted sky was visible. It did not come out as a result of the exposure fusion (which does not mingle with the colors, unlike HDR tonemapping, which I also tried, but which gave artificial looking results)-- Slaunger (talk) 20:05, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment After LivioAndronico comment, I tried with lightroom to increase the vibrance, for to look a the tint, and it's true that the sky, and it's reflection are very purple. On my PC I solved the issue by putting the purple color tint on the blue side, the result is more neutral sky. The image can also maybe benefit from a little increase of the contrast, clarity and vibrance IMO. It's a fine and pleasant image. -- Christian Ferrer Talk / Im. / Fav. 06:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Christian Ferrer: Thanks a lot for trying out tweaking the image. I could do the same manipulations. However, I feel reluctant to get rid of the purple colors, as I see it in the developed raws at the largest exposure and it appears to be there for real. My initial edit had more "impact", by a more agrressive use of clarity and vibrance as proposed, but for me (and especially my wife, who critized it for being 'unrealistic') it just did not represent well enough "how it is". I kindda think it looks cool with the dark purple sky, so I think I will keep it as is, but of course respect if other reviewers find it is not acceptable. -- Slaunger (talk) 17:38, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

- Hubertl: Hmmm... actually the differing distance is not a challenge if there is good line of sight as is the case here. With a subject distance at 500m, and even with the large f/2.8 aperture the DOF is very high and extends from 30m - ∞ (the hyperfocal distance is at 30 m) for the given focal length and camera according to an online DOF calculator. Muhammad Mahdi Karim actually has a point that the resolution is not as large as one could have expected for stitch from an 18 Mpixel camera. This is due to the fixed 40mm focal length of the prime lens. It has a somewhat wide vertical fields of view, which is larger than optimal for the scenary at this viewing distance. Thus, quite a lot of sky and foreground lake and grass has been cropped out in the end result. A 60 mm prime lens would have been more optimal for the field of view of the scenary, I just happen to only have a 40mm prime lens. So, I can certainly follow the observation of Muhammad, whom I highly respect as a photographer (it is more than seven years ago I had really useful input to him, you remember Muhammad ;-) ), I just personally think that the end product has a more than sufficient resolution for FP. -- Slaunger (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

A 60 mm prime lens would have been more optimal for the field of view of the scenary, I just happen to only have a 40mm prime lens. So, I can certainly follow the observation of Muhammad, whom I highly respect as a photographer (it is more than seven years ago I had really useful input to him, you remember Muhammad ;-) ), I just personally think that the end product has a more than sufficient resolution for FP. -- Slaunger (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info All by by Livioandronico2013Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato (August 25, 1609 – August 8, 1685), also known as Giovanni Battista Salvi, was an Italian Baroque painter. He is often referred to only by the town of his birthplace (Sassoferrato), as was customary in his time, and for example seen with da Vinci and Caravaggio. His paintings also show the influence of Albrecht Dürer, Guercino, and above all Raphael. He appears to also have been influenced by Pierre Mignard, whom he may have met in Rome in the 1630s.-- LivioAndronico talk 08:27, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

I like the co-existance of green vegetation of sizeable height and snow. It is unusual. The technical quality is not quite good for enough for FP these days though in my opinion.

- Weak Oppose It's a beautiful scene, but I don't like how the two or three structures on the right intrude on each other. Hurts the composition. Even were it impossible to get the shot from a different angle, I don't think that's enough of a mitigating factor for me. -- Ram-Man 18:20, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Of course different angles are possible !--Jebulon (talk) 09:29, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- I think this composition is nice because it compresses the windmills in the image, so they don't appear too loose. The obscured windmill is so obscured that there almost seems to be six instead of seven, so it's not a problem for me. --Kadellar (talk) 14:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info Like most underwater images of large animals, the resolution is not the best, but I think the drama and the uniqueness of the image more than compensates. This image was taken at 1am, when the whale shark came close to our boat to filter-feed on a cloud of plankton. Strobes are not allowed with whale sharks (and would be useless, given their size) so the only ilumination was coming from the floodlight of the boat. all by me -- Arturo de Frias Marques (talk) 21:46, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info Thanks Kreuzschnabel for your comments, I agree, the image is far from perfect from a technical point of view, given it was taken in the middle of the night, with only one source of zenithal light. However, the situation is so rare and unique - face portrait of whale shark feeding with open mouth etc - that I thought it would more than compensate the technical shortcomings. But if others think like you do, I am happy to withdraw nomination... --Arturo de Frias Marques (talk) 09:26, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info all by Kelvinsong
- I have waited like five months to nominate these three diagrams as a set, bc it makes literally no sense to nominate them in series (especially since there’s an odd number, so the third one whould have to stand FPC in isolation). Technically set nominations are disabled (as a…half-year-long “stopgap”, when new rules were supposed to be adopted within one month) but I can already see that as it stands that’s going to be forever basically so I’m just going to be bold and offer these antarctica diagrams as a set anyway. Since they constitute a sort of frame animation, and portray the same thing at different times, I do not believe they’re in the gray area that led to FPCS shutdown last June, and it’d probably attract more hate to nominate them separately than as a set.

It is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent—that is, the eighth week before Eastern Orthodox Pascha (Easter). Maslenitsa corresponds to the Western Christian Carnival, except that Orthodox Lent begins on a Monday instead of a Wednesday, and the Orthodox date of Easter can differ greatly from the Western Christian date.

- Notable in its own right: Works by major artists, or works that are otherwise notable, such as the subjects of a controversy...
- Of high historic merit: The historical method values very early illustrations of scenes and events over later ones. Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low. Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents – which may not be at all artistic – nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject."
- "Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:
- I don't know much about art, so I can't say with certainty the artist is a "major artist" but Boris Kustodiev has a Wikipedia article, which is noteworthy and suggest he is an important Russian artist.

- Oppose Based on a similar rationale as above. It's good to disclose the existence of the other FP, but I think that here the wow is missing a bit. Quality is of course great, but without the evening light, the towers are quite plain. Reminds me a bit of my own experience with this and that. --DXR (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Support In contrast to the view expressed by DXR, I think that the lighting (not during dawn/dusk) is a positive aspect of this picture and doesn't detract from the "wow factor". The evening lighting is slightly distracting from the subject--the Tampa skyline. This image doesn't add a false yellowish tone to the buildings like the sunset photo does (compare the white buildings in this photo vs that appear light brown/tan in the sunset one). There's also less glare off the buildings that are more reflective. It does have a "wow factor" if you look at it from the perspective of focusing on the subject—the Tampa skyline—in that it is a great quality image which manages to show most of the subject in an accurate way (no false color from dawn/dusk). The only possible improvement would be mid-day lighting in summer to eliminate the shadows. I don't support de-listing the sunset image, but if others find it necessary to only feature one, this is the one to feature (just a suggestion, but again I don't support doing that). -- AHeneen (talk) 05:08, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Isn't there a slight blue or green cast? Check WB, please. I also think it is a bit plain, not because of the light, but because of such a clear sky. --Kadellar (talk) 17:39, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- I made several experiences because I also had the feeling that the picture was a bit greenish. In the end the adjustements were minimal as I realized that many of the buildings had in fact a green cast. The obvious exception is the white parking below Sun Trust.

- Oppose Sorry, I have had a look at the thing (online) and I guess that I would not have a much better idea for photographing it. Yet, I feel that the image is not featurable if the commenters above think that the motive is just some random fence, not the instrument itself. Perhaps a view from an elevated position would be good or perhaps trying to offer a look through one of the openings, but obviously an ideal image is hard to get here. --DXR (talk) 16:10, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

- Info Panning shot of 2 reindeer running in the in the mountains in Ljungdalen, Sweden. The image is cropped (but no downsampling), reindeer are very vigilant (bear, wolf, wolverine and lynx are constant threats to the reindeer in the wild) and and difficult to get close to by foot.

- Enthusiastic support As noted this sort of picture is difficult to get, so kudos to you, Arild. I don't usually go for animal pictures, even well-done ones, because it's so easy for a skilled enough photographer to get a very good one that we rarely see great ones. And this is great because of the high EV—we are not only seeing wild reindeer, scruffy, dumpy and not idealized Christmas creations; we are seeing them in their natural habitat, their motion telling us that they cannot take it easy here, and the light and the background explaining their coloration to us far better than any words in any language ever could.

- Neutral Nice image. I prefer a perspective correction.--XRay talk 06:49, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
- Strong oppose: What a pity! So nice a light and idea, but so poorly performed. Heavily oversharpened (showing bright red fringes on outer sides of tree trunks and lamps from sharpening of chromatic aberration), and there’s chroma noise all over the dark parts. The overprocessing kills it for me. Sorry. If the author still has kept the original, it may be reprocessed, eliminating the chromatic aberration before doing anything else. --Kreuzschnabel 11:21, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

- Comment I see several issues here, despite the nice view. The sky has blown parts, there is some perspective distortion and there's also CA. Not the best light neither, because the buildings are actually in shadow. --Kadellar (talk) 12:44, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Kadellar. There's also that color banding in the sky. Nice skyline but those flaws will have to be fixed. Daniel Case (talk) 17:34, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
