SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Info created & uploaded by Diliff - nominated by JovanCormac
  •  Info After delisting this and this, it's time we feature a picture that does this beautiful city justice. This is Salzburg as I know it.
  •  Support As nominator. -- JovanCormac 17:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I don't know Salzburg yet, but it seems it's worth a trip :-). --NEUROtiker ⇌ 17:41, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I really recommend it! IMO Salzburg is more beautiful than even Vienna. Also, your mother tongue being German, you probably don't live too far from it - what are you waiting for? -- JovanCormac
  •  Oppose, dull light and low resolution for a panorama of four pictures, sorry. --Aqwis (talk) 19:44, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • This attitude of judging images on what they could be instead of what they are seems a bit silly to me. Why don't you also oppose it because it wasn't taken with a 50 megapixel medium format camera? :-P This was taken 5 years ago with a 6 megapixel camera. Yes it is lower resolution than it could be, but until a better image comes along that is everything this is plus extra resolution, judge it on its merits. Diliff (talk) 22:07, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree 100% here. Aquis' comment is pure nonsense. Resolution is average for a FP, and image quality is next to perfect, easily besting 90% of all Featured panoramas. Did you know that there were actually people opposed to or neutral to delisting this picture of Salzburg, which has 1/3 of the candidate's resolution and terrible image quality compared to it? I try not to think too much about those "injustices", because if I do they always make me mad... -- JovanCormac 06:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Per Maedin's comment about overlap I have retracted that part of my oppose. --Aqwis (talk) 12:12, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Aqwis, IMO you were right, when you complained about the resolution of the panorama. A single image of 6 megapixels camera gives resolution of 3000 x 2000. Here we have four images panorama with a resolution, which is lower than a resolution of a single image. A strange overlap, isn't it :) Of course the resolution is within the rules of FPC, yet your oppose reason was still a legitimate one. On the other hand claiming that image should be promoted because there's no better one now availabale on the subject is a silly reason for promoting an image. The reaction of the user on the oppose votes, including retaliating to me in absolutely different place, seems inappropriate. I do not agree that this image is "easily besting 90% of all Featured panoramas". diliff is taking breathtaking panoramas, one of the best, maybe the best panoramas on Commons, but the nominated image is simply not one of them, and it is not the end of the world :).--Mbz1 (talk) 13:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral - nice image but not stunning.--Avala (talk) 22:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Agree with Agwis. Sorry.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:46, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think the lighting is fine, and of course the resolution is, too. Besides, we have no idea how much overlap there may have been in those 4 images. Maedin\talk 06:45, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Yann (talk) 08:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nothing special, normal quality image. --Karel (talk) 18:23, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't see the special thing that would qualify this as an exceptional picture, sorry --S23678 (talk) 07:48, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fort Baker, Angel Island and everpresent fog :)
I of course realize that everybody's opinion is different, and I respect yours, but to me the nominated image seems much more extraordinary than let's say, for example, an image of two rocks with forest in between --Mbz1 (talk) 09:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The image you are referring to is really, really atmospheric, though; as are many of your own nominations. For me, this just isn't one of them. -- JovanCormac 10:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Should "atmospheric" be added to FPC criterias? Just kidding :) As I said I do respect your opinion, but I have a very different one. The nominated image not only depicts in great details historic Fort Baker, but it also has a great mood - the fog over the Bay. Of course it is my own opinion about my own image that could be biased . This image is very dear and very extraordinary to me for one more reason that is not connected to the image itself. I mean one amazing support vote it got on English Wikipedia FP nomination --Mbz1 (talk) 10:17, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am afraid you're having a deja vue or maybe you're mistaking it with the nomination of the same image on English Wikipedia. I nominated one of the similar pictures here on Commons few weeks ago, but it was never featured.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think "weak" or "strong" make any difference in counting the votes, so may I please ask you next time, when opposing my image do not loose time for "weak" or "strong"? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about differences in the vote count, it's just a part of expressing your opinion. Airwolf (talk) 19:20, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe so, but the thing is that in English Wikipedia "weak" and "strong" do make difference in the counts of the votes, while here they apparently do not. That's why IMO adding "weak" / "strong" could create a confusion, if a nomination is closed manually, for example, (sometimes it does). IMO the opinion could be expressed in the comment in some other ways, of course if there's something to express at all. .--Mbz1 (talk) 19:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's just like Airwolf said. A plain "oppose" sometimes seems too harsh to me, when there's just small things that keep me from voting support. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 20:06, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dear NEUROtiker, I am sorry, if my comment sounded too harsh for you. I did not mean it. The thing is that to me "oppose" is "oppose" no matter weak or strong, and as I mentioned adding "weak" or "strong" might create some confusion. You said "small things that keep me from voting support". I hope you do agree there's a rather big difference between voting oppose (even weak one) or not voting support (not voting at all I mean). IMO the nominated image did not deserve to be opposed, but it is my opinion, and you could have your own, an absolutely different one. I respect it no matter what. Best regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:19, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I agree with Mila, I always prefer just put a "comment" instead of "weak oppose", I think if I don't have any strong reason to oppose, my vote should not get counted as a vote. but about the image, It's a nice panorama, but the crop is very tight at bottom and right.   ■ MMXXtalk  05:21, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

— 15:00, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

    • I'm assuming you're not a sock of Tomas? In which case I was more after his intentions than a lesson on standards of landscape photography. It seems to me that if your justification was correct he'd be shooting at around f/11 if scared of diffraction or whatever he could push the f-stop to whilst keeping the subject sharp if not. Furthermore your comment indicates you believe pretty much all work by pictorial photographers is "wrong", there are styles apart from Adams and Weston style techniques. I was interested more if there was a compositional rather than technical reason though. Flying Freddy (talk) 16:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Flying Freddy: many comments possible... Canon 50D, due to chip design and according to some "experts" with apertures smaller than f8 produce blurry images... f8 is generally the optimum aperture in most lenses... in this case, focusing on the fisherman, from where I was, and considering the hyperfocal distance, everything was bound to come out sharp... and yes, I desired that in order to place the subject within the physical context where he works, etc... In short, I wanted a sharp picture because this is a picture of a fisherman, a fishing method and a fishing environment... basically an informative picture. As far as f8, that is generally my prefered aperture, I seldom use smaller apertures, and depending on the desired effect, lens, etc., I open up from there...--Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Thanks for the explanation. Would you be tempted to clone out the small dark branch on the lower RHS?
  •  Support Technically not brilliant, but strong composition is much more interesting than uninterestingly composed technical perfection. Flying Freddy (talk) 16:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The northern fountain and the New Castle in Stuttgart, Germany.
  •  Question You oppose because you don't like the image or just because I resized it ? If it would be because of the resizing, I would be grateful, if somebody of the hardcore-voters would explain me the right balance between size and noise. Because to me for example grainy and blurry are two opposites and it seems, that NEUROtiker found both in the image. If I use more noise reduction, the image becomes even more blurry, so I either need to accept a grainy sky (which is only visible, if you zoom in like mad and is not noticeable even in a large print) or I need to do a resizing. Or is there a third option I haven't thought about ? --Curnen (talk) 06:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The sky is the main problem concerning the grain. And in the high resolution version the whole picture seems a bit unsharp. In addition there are a lot of artifacts, mostly vertical lines throughout the picture as well as aliasing visible on the white windows and doors. They are more prominent in the original picture but still visible in the scaled down version. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 19:41, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

[edit]

  •  Oppose Welcome to Commons :P. Sorry, but I'm going to have to oppose as well. There appears to be some sort of distortion and artifacting along the roofline, the building suffers from chromatic abberation, and looks very washed out. As a whole, it is rather noisy, and perhaps underexposed in places. The crop of the fountain ruins what would otherwise have been a nice compostion.

Maddalena by Donatello
  •  Info created and uploaded by Marie-Lan Nguyen, nominated by Maedin
  •  Info Maddalena by the Italian artist Donatello is a wood sculpture of the Biblical and historical figure of Mary Magdalene. Here, she appears penitent, tormented, and frail from fasting. This figure was housed in the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, otherwise known as Florence Cathedral, in Florence. It's now based next door in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (a museum associated with the Duomo). Donatello sculpted this in 1455 or so, over 500 years ago.
  •  Support I have been to the Museo and saw the Maddalena. She's even more heart-stoppingly agonising in person. I was captivated by her the moment I saw her. Unfortunately, the poor camera that I had at the time didn't do her justice. But I have found this one, the only decent shot of her on Commons. Although the Maddalena sculpture is head-to-toe, the area where she is displayed does not make photography easy (a small space and many distracting things around her), and she is often backlit by strong sunlight. Consider also that flash photography is oft-frowned upon or prohibited in museums. I think this close-up is an excellent representation of Donatello's most expressive work. Maedin\talk 18:46, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'm sure it's a lovely sculpture, Maedin, but I got the fright of my life when I opened up FPC this morning and was greeted by that face. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 20:39, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • No. I contest this. Kallernas vote is decisive here. And I'm not willing to accept his behaviour anymore. --Dschwen (talk) 12:11, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I entirely agree with Dschwen. Kallerna's reason is unreasonable for opposing. Jacopo Werther (talk) 12:29, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the nominating guidelines, it says that "Pictures should be in some way special" in order to be featured. "Nothing special" seems to be addressing that (rather vague) requirement. Kaldari (talk) 18:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Uh huh... So a beautiful free high quality portrait of a reasonably well known actress is "nothing special"? Coooome oooooon! --Dschwen (talk) 19:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's a personal oppinion. It's might be quite hard to draw the border in between where a reason is valid or not if we should evaluate that for all votes. For example one could also argue that D_Kubas vote should be invalid as the guidelines never say anything about encyclopaedic value, in fact it indicates that it is not needed: "This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.". To me it's fine saying "nothing special" even though a more constructive comment would be more helpful of course. Also if we only have reasons for invalidating oppose votes it would kind of make it easier for images to get promoted as there are no way to invalidate support votes, not sure that is what we really want. Maybe our rules about voting is just not clear enough. /Daniel78 (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • I would not be annoyed by this that much if it weren't a pattern in Kallerna's voting. Look for yourself. This is counter-productive and impolite, and nothing but a slap in the face of the contributors. Without as much as a shred of a reason these opposes are worthless at best. --Dschwen (talk) 21:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I completely agree with Dschwen. The oppose votes only criticized the artistic choices made by the photographer, not the quality or merit of the resulting still. And nothing special? I disagree, I'm sure this was a special moment between Mr. and Mrs. Ruspoli. There aren't many intimate photographs of such quality on the commons. ˉanetode╦╩ 22:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tui with feathers ruffled up
  •  Info created, uploaded and nominated by User:Tony Wills -- Tony Wills (talk) 21:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info A bird with real character, Tui aggressively chase off other birds even trying it on with much larger birds like Kākā (who ignore them :-). This bird has ruffled up its feathers giving it a bigger than usual appearance and is squawking very loudly (and raucously). Other nectar feeders such as Bellbirds and Hihi must wait for the Tui to leave before they get a feed. Tui are often perceived as black birds with a white bow-tie, but there are iridescent greens and blues along with brown in their plumage. Another feature is the strange white curls on the back of the neck and back. The beak is covered with yellow flax pollen grains, tui are important pollinators of flax flowers. --Tony Wills (talk) 21:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I find the background somewhat distracting. Also, the composition leaves something to be desired (especially as the main subject is right at the centre of the image).--Petritap (talk) 12:45, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think you will find that most FPs of profile views of whole birds basically have the bird in the centre of the frame, there really isn't much choice unless you want lots of empty space in the frame - which people then complain about :-). As it happens, I usually aim to frame these photos with the eye of the bird near one of the intersections as defined by the rule of thirds. --Tony Wills (talk) 09:22, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The background question is an interesting one - en:WP appear to prefer the fashion of having a completely burred background so that you can't see what is there. I think that is useful for the 'specimen' picture in the info box on en:wp:animal pages due to their small size, but in general I prefer to see an animal in its natural environment, some real context. I think that some would prefer all insect pictures, for example, to be studio shots with a neutral background, all too sterile for me :-). Someone has produced a blurred background version of this photo, I might post it as an alternative to see if that pleases people more :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 09:22, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment The beak is moving as it crys out. I actually thought the main problem there was that the face was not well lit. --Tony Wills (talk) 11:07, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Octopus cyanea
  •  Info everything by Mbz1
  •  Info Now bear with me on this one please. Imagine a very shallow reef few hundreds feet from shore. It was so shallow that I cut my hand, and the cut was bleeding. There was a mean looking barracuda File:Sphyraena barracuda and caustic in Kona.jpg close by (not a good combination with blood in the shallow water, and shiny camera in my hand). I was getting back to shore, and then I saw an octopus. Of course I could not have missed on him. It was only second time I saw an octopus in a wild. Octopus did not want his pictures taken. He got under corals, and even after I explained to him that I am going to upload his images to Commons, he refused to get out . So now you know the story. Oppose, if you have to, but please be gentle - he was a very difficult subject.

  •  Oppose The subject is not easily identified in the photo. If it wouldn't have an explanation about the photo, I wouldn't get message it conveys. I am also concerned about technical quality, such as sharpness. The subject seems to be out of focus. --Tiago Fioreze (talk) 11:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He is pushing his way through the grass, and snuffling long the ground - I like to see something happening in my photos rather than simple profile shots etc - I'm not sure whether I'd remove the grass even if I could :-). Again I wasn't aiming for centred, but to get the eye near an intersection when divided into thirds (see image note lines), perhaps your eye is more naturally drawn to the cute nose? --Tony Wills (talk) 00:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the spots and tried to upload the file over the old one and here's what I got: "A file with this name exists already in the shared file repository.

The devs were updating the software of the whole cluster at the time of your upload. That probably explains this. Yann (talk) 10:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What side and how many degrees?--Mbz1 (talk) 16:34, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Counterclockwise and between 2.7 and 3.0 degrees. Usually, people don't like landscape photography with the horizon tilted; it is a matter of culture, and in France, photos look “better” with this small correction. By respect for your work, I don't want to reupload a new version over your current photo. →Diti the penguin — 18:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for changing the vote! I am not sure, when I will be able to upload a new version over the old one. I tried again a few minutes ago, but it still does not work.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

* Oppose Well, this alternative looks even more tilted to me. Is that on purpose? Also there is a blue stripe in the upper right corner, which doesn't seem to belong there. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 14:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May I please ask you, if before you oppose an image you bother to read prior comments, about the tilt I mean? I am not sure what "blue stripe" you are talking about. I see none, but even, it were there it would have been easy enough to fix, so IMO it is not a good reason to oppose the image.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:32, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did read the preceding comments and I was very surprised to see the second version having a stronger tilt than the original one (I assume the mast and the flag in the background should be vertical). The blue stripe (actually more like a triangle) I meant is in the upper right corner and maybe a result from tilting. As to my oppose: I am absolutely willing to revise my vote if a picture has been altered. But I'd like to see that version before. In many cases tilting changes the proportions of the images, because it has to be cropped. --NEUROtiker ⇌ 15:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see the blue thing now. Sorry about that. It is from the tilt. When I asked if you read prior comments, I meant if you saw that I cannot upload a new image over the old one because of a bug in the system, and I would not like to upload a new version as a new file because it will create an extra work for our busy admins to delete all my versions later on. This bug was present for 2 days already, and I am not sure how long else it will be there. I thought about withdrawing the nomination, and nominating it later, when the bug is fixed, but few people have voted already, and it will be not fair to them. IMO the best way to proceed now is to ask the reviewer do not close the nomination until a new fixed version of the file is uploaded.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion geocoding things doesn't give anything away privacy wise, beyond perhaps that you live in a certain part of New Zealand (so long as you don't start geocoding the stuff in your garden). I'd say giving out your real name reveals much more. The geocoding does add value and it is cool to look at a map with a bunch of images popping up.

 Comment I guess I have some explaining to do why I created an individual nomination for a similar image to the above nomination. Here's why:
At first I did not want to do it, but then I thought that we have so many FP of the same (not even similar, but the same) insects and birds, that maybe it is OK to have those two images of a very rare phenomenon. It is OK with me, if only one is promoted, but honestly I'm dying to find out which one will win more votes on POTY, if they both are promoted (It was my main reason for creating individual nomination). I believe the one that gets less votes on POTY could be delisted after the competition is over. I understand that you could disagree with me, so please feel absolutely free to change your votes on any of the two nominations. Thank you, and sorry for the confusion.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like the inner view below, this image is also a composition and should be marked as retouched picture / composition.

          •  Comment Sorry, Dschwen, but regardless of your merit here, I think your current behavior is a little dishonorable. First of all, you a free to explain to me, why certain light effects I already pointed out in the discussion with Niabot are well explainable assuming a single shot. Please do this - but unless somebody resolved all doubt, I think my opinion is as eligible as yours. Secondly I like to remind you, that the photo below has obviously been composed out of multiple shots, so I believe, some doubt is also legitimate here. Thirdly, photos in general just can't be judged solely by factual criteria - not even the level of image noise, that is still acceptable. But if you think for example of composition, there simply is no right or wrong. You will probably agree that some amazing pictures are superior, BECAUSE all usual rules of composition have been broken. "I like it" and "I don't like it" are equally wrong or right, because its the individual reception. The last thing: If I got this right, you seriously asked for deletion of votes, simply because the come from people with sporadic activity ? I hope, you have been kidding - because if there is one basic principle commonly accepted in in all democratic systems it the equal counting of votes ! --Curnen (talk) 15:43, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
            • Where are you getting this from: you seriously asked for deletion of votes, simply because the come from people with sporadic activity. This again is complete non-sense! I'm fantasizing about striking factually wrong arguments (which is obviously not going to happen!). The drive-by voting is only an issue because people seldomly come back to react to the debunking of inaccurate statements they based their votes on. So please read a little more carefully before you paraphrase my statements. I'm really not in the mood for a squabble here, but no, your "opinion" is not eligible here. Facts are not a matter of opinion. And not calling a wrong statement wrong is not a matter politeness. In fact pointing out a wrong statement is is not a little dishonorable, it is the opposite! What's dishonorable is stating an opinion like a fact: this image is also a composition, misleading other voters, and essentially destroying an FPC. The photographer already explained the technique used to shoot his images. So you "light effects" statements have the value of a conspiracy theory. --Dschwen (talk) 16:22, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
              • Ok, in the worst case my conspiracy theory is responsible for four oppose votes, the eight other opposers did name other reasons. But Ter890, H005 and Jacopo Werther all voted here at other candidates after Niabot pointed out, that he is sure, that this is no composition and could have changed their votes, if they wanted. So both positions were present in the discussion and I think nobody got fooled, but only convinced by either side. Therefore I do also not see any responsibility of mine for essentially destroying an FPC - essentially destroying FP for example is, when point'n'shooter pictures have not the ghost of a chance here anymore regardless of the photo itself - but this another topic. But as a conciliatory proposal: I will take a one month break here after this discussion is closed and during this time you may nominate as many pictures as you want, without spanner in the works. --Curnen (talk) 20:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info This is no composition! What he used (we talked with him on german wikipedia [4]) was a camera system like this one [5] which is pretty common for such photographs. No need for a composition, just move the car and the camera at once and have the men inside the car sit calm, while you take a shot over alike 15 Seconds. --Niabot (talk) 00:22, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • No composition? The arrangment of the car on the road shouldn´t be "randomly", so there must be a composition in those pictures. This doesn´t mean that those advertising pictures are done with a little help from photoshop ;) --Andreas 06 (talk) 09:31, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Like the inner view below, this image is also a composition and should be marked as retouched picture / composition." You completly misunderstood. --Niabot (talk) 10:47, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think you are talking about two different things here. Niabot is referring to the fact that the image is not composed of two or more separate shots, whereas Andreas is talking about the composition as in "the use of space within a photograph", ie. the visual arrangement of elements within the image. -- Petritap (talk) 11:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yep, but I was talking about this being a composition of two separate shots. Although it is well done and not as obvious as in the photo below, I still think it has been composed out of two or more images. This mainly because the reflection of the sun in the VW sign or the warm light on the front of the car tells me, that the car has been lit by the setting sun from the front. But when you look at the building in the background, the strong light there does not really look like a reflection on the glass, but rather like the sun shining through the building from behind ! Even if this would be a reflection, you would expect the reflection beeing blurred by the panning of the camera. I have never ever had a star shaped highlight in a panning shot, also the shadow below the car does not fit, if its really and solely lit by the sun from the front - so I am still convined, that its a composition or has at least a fake highlight. In general: Don't get me wrong! I do appreciate the decision of Michael de Vries, to share his pictures very much and again the quality of this picture is beyond question to me. But I have seen fantastic images fail here, because of some noise or a dust spot or a slight haziness somewhere that unfortunately resulted in scaring off talented photographers. Whereas in this case, some of you seem literally to court de Vries and forget about the usual alertness. --Curnen (talk) 11:41, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
nearly the same effect, but other technique
  • That's the reason why the car is moved. It gives smother shadings, softer reflections, much blured shadows since it has the same effect as if you would aply filters, that keep the edges of the car sharp. If you want, i could render you an comparable scene with motion-blur and fixed object-camera-setting, which would show exactly the same behaviour. Keep in mind, that is not the usual setting with a driving car and an motionless environment. It more like this shot on the side. --Niabot (talk) 12:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comment. What bright spot do you mean the sun? BTW it is not an edit. It is an absolutely different image.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can't put a note on this version to point out the bright spot, but it's the bright thing right next to the biggest bird that looks like lens internal reflexion (or is this the moon... I don't know) on the top left. I realised it was not an edit after writting about it... but I forgot to correct that part of my first comment. --S23678 (talk) 04:08, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That bright spot is the sun, and even to earn your support I will not remove my favorite star --Mbz1 (talk) 04:30, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose I really do like the scene, but to have overexposed fog while the sun is correctly exposed doesn't just doesn't make sense in such a scene, and it's somewhat deceptive for FP, even if digital manipulations are written in the description. It would have been so much easier if it was only from lens internal reflexion...! --S23678 (talk) 00:46, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Digital manipulations have absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the sun and/or the fog. I have never touched the sun or/and the fog. Digital manipulations meant that I created panorama out of three images manually, and it is clearly specified in the description of the image.For example here is the original image File:Foggy sunset at Land's End.jpg that was never post processed at all. I've chosen that one because it is one of the best to illustrate what it really is. You see here that the sun is exposed just right, but look at the fog and even at the w:sun glitter! Their brightness compare to the "right" sun only shows that the density of the fog was different, and not "digital manipulations". To wish that it were not the Sun, but a lens reflection is very strange to say the least . That oppose reason will get the first place in my collection of oppose reasons, and it is even better than get the nominated image promoted to FP status --Mbz1 (talk) 01:20, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Support I still can't understand how the sun can be less exposed than the fog through logic, really, but faced with the evidence of the other picture you showed, I can only discover my ignorance on this subject... --S23678 (talk) 18:39, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bride and groom at the ruins of Sutro Bath

Come on, Aqwis, you cannot oppose my picture of the year , but seriously IMO the size of the bride and groom is about right. You cannot see their faces anyway, so IMO the size is good enough to see what there is to see, and there is something really interesting to see - the wind!--Mbz1 (talk) 22:29, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bride and groom at the ruins of Sutro Bath

There's no magic here. After Agwis complained about centered composition, I made a different crop from the original image.--Mbz1 (talk) 11:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to tell you a story about taking of this image (not all the images have a story to tell, but this one does), which might soften your heart :) or might not :(. I was taking images of w:Sutro Baths (a rather big place), when I've noticed the bride and groom File:Bride and groom on the ruins of sutro bath 0.jpg. As you could see from the image the bride was desperately behind the rock :(. I waited for few more minutes for her to come out, but instead the groom also got behind the rock :( :(. So, I picked up my tripod and run to a different place. It is not a good place to run. I'm lucky I did not breake anything :). Then I took the nominated image, and just two minutes later they have left the scene File:Bride and groom on the ruins of sutro bath 2.jpg. So I hope now you see how special that image is --Mbz1 (talk) 17:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So it's a true chance shot... that makes me respect it even more. I'd have thought it was planned to at least some degree, like you being a photographer at that specific wedding or so. No surprise those two chose to kiss at that spot though - it looks like one of the most romantic places in the state! -- JovanCormac 19:55, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was a pure chance. I was there the day before too, and took this panorama File:Sutro bath11.jpg. Then I decided to try to do a better job from a slightly different spot and try it for FP, but when bride-groom opportunity came about, I've changed my plans. After all I always could take panorama, but I could not have missed that kiss --Mbz1 (talk) 21:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Back-scattering crepuscular rays
I tried to correct some lines (stitching errors) and I removed some noise. The image was not cropped It is the way it was taken. The thing is that I was trying to do panorama with Golden Gate Bridge like this File:Crepuscular Rays Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.jpg and I did not want to reduce my zoom because the bridge was far away. Now I know I should have. If I see it ever again I'll try to do a better job. --Mbz1 (talk) 00:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your opinion, and I would have agreed with you, but on the other hand we have so many FP of the same (not even similar, but the same) insects and birds, that I thought it is OK to have those two images of a very rare phenomenon. It is OK with me, if only one is promoted, but honestly I'm dying to find out which one will win more votes on POTY if they both are promoted (It was my main reason for creating individual nomination). I believe the one that gets less votes on POTY could be delisted after the competition is over.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:28, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Carpilius convexus is consuming Heterocentrotus trigonarius in Hawaii

I took few dozens images of the scene, almost as good as a video . I copied them to my hard drive, but I have never backed them up. As a matter of fact I had many, many quite unique images, that were not backed up. Few months later something happened to my computer, and I did a full system recovery with hard drive formatting . Then I used a program that was able to recover very few of the hundreds images I lost. That's why this crab image is a very special for me.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The colours have not been manipulated - if they are off, it is because the white balance is off. However, I think the white balance is quite accurate: the white wall in the back looks pretty white to me, while it would have been yellowish or bluish if the white balance were off. As for the tilt, I think it creates a more dynamic feel, although I'll upload a straightened version if that's what you prefer. --Aqwis (talk) 21:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the sign which says "Greater Vancouver Regional District, Crippen Regional Park, Union Steamship Company Store, ?Chamber of Commerce, INFO CENTRE", or the street sign that says "Bowen Island Trunk Rd, Cardena Dr"? or the plaque on the side of the library that says ... ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 00:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If I knew what it says it would have been readable, however you can't avoid the fact that the text is almost impossible to read (Regional could easily be Belgemal). Any strain at reading the text that big on a photo is a good enough signal that the photo is of poor quality.--Avala (talk) 09:46, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I've never been there or even heard of the place before, so did no know what it said :-). If you have to squint at a sign in the background to decide whether the quality is any good, then I would say there is actually nothing wrong with the quality - the picture is of the car, not the background :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 22:01, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An ant in Colombian amber
Odd blue background is the sky and I hope you will agree that an ant in amber cannot be as sharp as a normal ant. I mean one cannot expect to see the same level of details on 40 millions years old guy as on a live animal:)--Mbz1 (talk) 23:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If I am to say that I took the picture of the specimen while it was flying, would you support the image then . Okay, in the image description's I added template retouched picture|focus stacked manually, which means that I first held the specimen on one side, then on the other and combined two shots in PS. I believe that the natural light that the Sun provides is the best to show the colors and transparency of an amber.--Mbz1 (talk) 01:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is probably why the picture is unsharp. You couldn't have possible held the amber at perfectly the same angle to the camera after changing sides. Focus stacking is a great idea with such an image, but the object shouldn't move between shots. How about placing the stone on a glass table and shooting it through the glass, looking into the sky? -- JovanCormac 10:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, Jovan, please do tell me that you did not mean it, I mean you possibly could not mean to ask me an elderly and sick lady to get myself with my camera under a glass table :). Anyway Tony answered your question below "Amber is not an optically perfect medium". I would add the amber is not flat either. IMO the image is sharp enough. You could even see some details on antennas, you could see that one antenna is stucked inside an amber cloud (how I call it). You also could see every tiny bubble.--Mbz1 (talk) 12:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment  Support I think by the nature of amber, you could only have that if you extracted the ant first :-). Amber is not an optically perfect medium. --Tony Wills (talk) 12:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tony, it seems to me that you are ready to support the image :)--Mbz1 (talk) 12:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To be more specific, the original image is on this page. The knight in supporters in this image is somewhat invalid though.

Briksdalen in Stryn, Norway
  • I won't comment the sharpness, but the dynamic range of the scene is so great that it's impossible to avoid parts of the scene's being overexposed (note that I actually disagree that the mountains, and most of the sky, are overexposed - and the only part of the picture that is actually clipped is a small part of the clouds). To avoid the clouds' being overexposed, I'd have to underexpose the rest of the picture. --Aqwis (talk) 22:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, you probably can't avoid this because of the dynamic range, but then you need to choose another time or another day, or blending several images. I am not convinced by the composition either. Yann (talk) 10:15, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Paddle Steamer Waverley moored at Swanage in the UK in evening light. The PS Waverley is the last remaining seagoing paddle steamer.
Well, the image is QI already. It was not me, who promoted it, which means that at least two people believe that the quality is fine. :), and besides we do not have nearly enough boats featured--Mbz1 (talk) 16:31, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I might be of some assistance in that department. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 22:14, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It was me who promoted it. It is a good QI, but for FP it's lacking that little extra. Maybe if the sun cam from the left and lit the whole vessel, but as it is I have to  Oppose, sorry. -- H005 06:30, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Overall a nice image, I especiaaly like that I can see the creases in the metal plates along the bow :-). I think the image as a whole is properly exposed, but it needs the sun a little further around to light up the stern section, the paddle wheel and the lower parts of the hull. As it was berthed, perhaps a stitched photo would be a possibility to give the resolurtion desired by others. --Tony Wills (talk) 22:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Polystyrene packaging
  • I understand what you mean, but I am not of the same opinion. An image like this can say a lot of things I think. Styrofoam (polistirolo in italian) is an artificial material, it's used for packaging and it has nothing poetic, it isn't warm, it's a modern material without history, there aren't noble things made of it. So why take a picture like that? It's not so explicative of the object, so it's useless, why make a portrait like this? But also a sunrise is useless, also a rainbow is useless. Art is useless. Beauty is in the eyes of who watch. Try to touch it with the fingers of a child. It could be very depth, it could have a so heroic history. I see all these things in the picture I made, and moreover I think it reach quality standars for FP. But if it doesn't, it remains a very beautiful pic for me :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Im sorry but I just cant understand how absense of a proper descripton can be a mitigating reason. In my opinion, it works in the opposite direction. Otherwise we could feature any picture bad enogh to make proper identification impossible just because the shot might be hard enogh to take so that we might never get a better picture of that subject. --Korall (talk) 11:03, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Just for the record you did support that one with a lower resolution.--Mbz1 (talk) 10:56, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are right, but when I voted for that one last week I still felt bound by the guidelines, which basically say that everything above 2 Mpx is OK. But after the discussions and delisting nominations in the past days I realized that no one really cares about the guidelines. Instead, everyone applies their own personal standards. Because of that, I have decided that from now on, so will I. And I happen to believe that it should be possible to print a landscape photo to poster size without it looking blurry or pixelated, which is not possible with 2.6 Mpx. This is absolutely nothing personal, I love your work and even this candidate, but I will not support landscapes or panoramas anymore from now on I will oppose landscapes and panoramas unless they have at least 5 Mpx. -- JovanCormac 11:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I know it is not personal :) , but I believe it is not excatly fair.The image you supported was taken with a better camera, than I used, which gives more room to play with the resolution. There's a difference between "not support" and "oppose". Anyway, if you decided to start your fight for the higher resolutions with my image, that's fine. Do not worry about that :)--Mbz1 (talk) 11:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, there's a difference. I really meant the latter, though. Corrected in my comment. -- JovanCormac 11:45, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I for one am very horrified to hear that Jovan. --Muhammad (talk) 13:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Someone has to start. 2 Mpx is a ridiculously low resolution for a landscape shot or panorama, when you cannot even buy a camera with less than 5 Mpx anymore. Commons is not (at least should not be) Wikipedia's image repository only. People will want to print out pictures, and 2 Mpx is sufficient for a top-quality postcard-sized print only. -- JovanCormac 13:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
2000x1333 gives a good 27 inches wide picture at 72ppi. I think that's large enough for your wall :-) --Muhammad (talk) 15:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
72ppi is for web use. I print my photos at 300ppi, for print use, and I can say it is barely enough. Diti the penguin — 20:25, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Most newspapers and publishers print at 72 and slightly above. Only very high class magazines print at 300. FWIW, a normal user may not even be able to tell the differences between the two. --Muhammad (talk) 23:54, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are wrong, from my years of experience in the print industry (both in high print quality and newspaper), 300 dpi is industry standard. Actually newspapers use up to 600 dpi for plate printing. NO ONE (and I assure you I'm correct) prints newspaper plates at 72 dpi. — raeky (talk | edits) 18:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, “minimum resolution for magazine-quality printing is 300ppi”. Diti the penguin — 17:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Jovan specifically talked about printing posters, which are usually printed at lower dpi simply because they are viewed from greater distances, 72 to 150dpi often seems to be the requirement on websites of poster printers. Some do specify 300dpi for everything, I trust they don't print billboard sized posters :-). Yes Jovan , we have guidelines, but vote as you see fit, that's the beauty of crowd wisdom, there is no need to rein in the extreme views. I still don't know why you don't start a project (eg QI was started when there was a need for images suitable for printing a calendar) to highlight glossy A4 magazine resolution images, it would be a valuable resource. It could be as simple as tagging high resolution FPs and QIs, to a full blown project with its own criteria. --Tony Wills (talk) 09:01, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for interest in my image and oppose vote from yet another user, who supported that nomination, the day light image with the same resolution. I do not consider opposes with that reason to be fair at all, I consider it to be biased, and that's why  I guess, if one wants to oppose an image, the reason could always be found --Mbz1 (talk) 16:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jovan, I'd like to thank you for killing my nomination. I'd say you've changed your mind rather drasticly after you called Aqwis complain about resolution in 4 images panorama that you nominated "pure nonsense", and quoting you from the same post I'd say: "I try not to think too much about those "injustices", because if I do they always make me mad..." Nothing personal:)--Mbz1 (talk) 17:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per my “personal guidelines”. Until some leniency sets up on how we should reasonably apply the guidelines. As the other opposers, you'll notice that my vote is not at all based on the picture, but by something called WP:POINT. ;) I'm not smarter than other people.

A photographer between waves and mussels
It is the wave the image was taken, there was no any post-processing. Of course there is much more blur in the waves crashing ashore then the other ones. BTW thank you for you comment. I was interested to get some feedback for the image because I do like the composition of that one.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I'm talking about blur related to long exposure. I think it's a very interesting photo, but too 'artsy' to be a FP on commons. --Leafnode 16:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I knew it was a good image! It is not passing :(, but your support means a lot :). I believe the guy did not go swimming because after all his camera was not underwater BTW looking at him I was thinking about you and how you're taking similar shots with your camera just few inches above the water :)--Mbz1 (talk) 00:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, my camera has had quite a few splashes from bigger than usual waves. Seems fine. I usually carry a cloth with me to wipe the salt water off. I have one or two of these somewhere. Should get into the habit of packing them. The picture is a fairly realistic depiction of how I take seascapes (close with a wide angle). Noodle snacks (talk) 01:02, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So, I was right, when I was thinking about you, while taking the image! I will upload few more images of the same and let you know. BTW has somebody ever taken an image of you taken image of the waves?--Mbz1 (talk) 01:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, I have one of a wave about to hit me and my camera at here on the same night as Clifton beach 4/5, but that is about it. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:48, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Colourfull, original light artwork, but not a very even spiral even (having them on a string and letting it wind or unwind around a cylinder might work). Many (many, many, many) years ago I saw a photo made using coloured lights and long exposures to represent the orbits of electrons around an atom's nucleus. I think the nucleus was made up of red and blue lights, and the electrons were red long exposure circular trails. Of course the orbits were in three dimensions not just all on one plane - must have used multiple exposures so he didn't tangle the wires :-). It was an impressive and startling photo. Now, I'm not suggesting you do that (well you could, but people would probably complain it was an outdated model), but it might inspire you to think of something you can create that could be used in a wikimedia project. --Tony Wills (talk) 02:26, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's more likely a moiré pattern. A quick look at the background shows clearly that they are using a fabric (out of focus background lights reveal that). This kind of semi-transparent fabric usually induce moiré patterns in photos. --Banzoo (talk) 00:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like nobody here has done any film scanning. These are "Newton rings" - a result of squeezing negative between glass frames. This is a mistake. Possible solutions: 1. scan without glass; 2. retouch. It is not supposed to be there on a good quality photograph. The film grain is reasonable (it is not "noise"). I'd support if the rings weren't there, this is a good photograph. -- Blago Tebi (talk) 09:04, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Historical panorama of Beirut ca. 1867
Stitched only, without cleaning
  • I understand your opinion, but when this file was first downloaded, it was meant to be used in Arabic Wikipedia, but later thought it would be valuable for other projects too. The use of english filenames in the Arabic free encyclopedia is painful as you described (to switch from RTL to LTR). It is worth to mention that renaming a file is not a direct task to do once uploaded, and having multiple copies of the same big file is a waste of resources. I think the FPC in commons should adopt English WP style to have a title for the nomination different from the filename. It would be also of great help if Wikimedia drops the suffix requirement in the filename and use the file header instead to determine the file type, and to give the ability to include multiple filenames for different writing systems for the same file.--Banzoo (talk) 17:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inside Balconies Cave at Pinnacles National Monument
It is an overlap. The thing is that there was very dark inside the cave, and when I took a single shot, the sky was very, very overexposed. So I ended up taking few shots with a different settings.HDR did not work because I've got the person only on one of the shots.--Mbz1 (talk) 12:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Panorama of Uppsala castle gardens
Even us humans would have a hard time counting that as a vote, could you perhaps just leave us with one to choose from (it is either support, neutral, or oppose). (At the moment our hard working bot will count that as two votes, and if it is sensible, discount both :-) Thanks --Tony Wills (talk) 20:13, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The bot could in the future be improved to detect the ambiguity and clearly mark it or notify the voter, however currently it will just blindly count them both and it would be up to the reviewer to resolve the issue. /Daniel78 (talk) 21:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please spell it out why in your opinion the image is not FP. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:17, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Low resolution for FP in my opinion, the rock is too small. Though is a very beautiful pic :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 23:26, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is that right? Low resolution? Well, maybe it is my problem. After all the resolution of my image is only 2 times greater than the one you supported :-)--23:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but IMHO is a different kind of pic, the seagulls and their rock are too small for me to be FP. It's just my opinion (and only mine I see :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 09:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. IMO your oppose reason for the resolution is very unfair and against the guidelines, and BTW the seagulls are extra. They not only provide a great scale for the rock, but also great EV. Who knew they would sit still for 40 seconds! :)--Mbz1 (talk) 12:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's an exaggeration to say the seagulls provide "great" EV. After all, you can barely see them in the picture. -- Petritap (talk) 13:29, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
They provide EV for two reasons: they are good for the scale and it is an interesting behavior (birds do not move much after sunset). What I am trying to say is that the image you supported is very beautiful, and I supported it too, but IMO my image has much bigger EV because of the seagulls as I explained above and because of the lighthouse.--Mbz1 (talk) 13:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that they´re barely visible doesn´t give any extra quality to the image, but it does give EV. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 14:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not oversaturated. It is just a long exposure (40 seconds) that gives such colors. I am not sure what 'aura' you are talking about, but if it is the one around the rock, it is only slow motion sea w:foam from the crashing waves.--Mbz1 (talk) 10:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wildfire in Yellowstone Natinal Park produces Pyrocumulus clouds
You have a good memory! A different version was nominated and declined here. I ajusted the colors a litlle bit now. I did not want to upload over the other file because it was nominated (not by me) and declined on English wikipedia too here. I decided, that, if somebody liked the image enough to nominate it on Eglish Wikipedia FP, I'd better keep that version too :) Thanks for fixing my spelling :)--Mbz1 (talk) 21:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen many wildfires, but only once pyrocumulus clouds. I believe you are much luckier than I am. You've seen lots of them, and know quite well how they look in reality :)--Mbz1 (talk) 12:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So far I have seen smoke of wildfires in California (in 2007) and South East Asia. But that is not the reason why I oppose. The reason why I oppose is because i know how clouds look that were "dramatized" with Photoshop. You obviously reduced it a bit since your last nomination...but it is for me still more than obvious. Furthermore this is sth you do with a lot of your pictures, which I regret bcs you don't just falsify reality but you make a good picture bad. I might give a pro to this picture if you would upload it without the post-processing. --AngMoKio (talk) 15:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: image resolution is below 2 megapixels.No longer the case, but the quality of the picture is a FPX motive as well. --S23678 (talk) 00:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

 Comment Dont want to support really but now its over 4MP.--Korall (talk) 20:31, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Request Please take my picture out of this competition. I take snapshots for my own amusement and post them on Flickr. I don't intend them to be "featured" anywhere, nor commented on by a bunch of self-appointed critics. Tdgreen (talk) 09:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • You may want to choose a different license in the future then. CC-BY, which you published the photo under, allows use for any purpuse, provided that you are credited for the image. As Korall has pointed out, the lack of support means that the candidate will likely be closed in a few days, but if that wasn't the case, I can pretty much guarantee that the FPC community wouldn't comply with your request. -- JovanCormac 12:24, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just reduce it to 0.4mpx, and it should be sharp enough! ;-) Seriously though, I have no strong attachment to this picture, but I really think we can do better than the thumbnail-sized lemon and kiwi we have featured. If anyone wants to edit this one, or upload better fruit pictures, I'd say it is about time. --JalalV (talk) 22:16, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
