Juvenile proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), Labuk Bay, Borneo, Malaysia
  • It's not a park. They're wild, but they are fed and so habituated, so photography is not at all difficult. I chose this one for the mood. Juvenile monkeys turn away and sulk when disciplined just like we do. Charles (talk) 18:49, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Two girls, by Abo Ngalonkulu
Discussion of David Hamilton
  • I read it before creating this nomination. One think is the accusations against him, another one is his pictures, which are world wide recognized as works of art, except by a few prudish guys. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:28, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not talking about this photo or any of his many beautiful pictures of young children. My comment was regarding the nude or semi-nude photos of underage girls he has also done. If I had a daughter about 12-16 years-old, I would not like to have her photographed half-nude, however artfully, and the photos published in books and online. If that makes me a "prudish guy", so be it. --cart-Talk 14:03, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[Unindent] So discuss his style. What's great about this photo? I don't assume something is good just because it looks (or doesn't look) like the work of someone famous. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:07, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Disregarding all similarities with other photos or works and judging this purely on its own merits and the genre it is done in, I will unfortunately oppose it. It is a good attempt at getting a dreamlike almost fairy tale atmosphere but there are details that makes it not quite there. The bottom and right crop is cutting the right girl a bit too much, the light is a bit too dull and flat, there should be at least some spark or highlights in the hair. I'm not a fan of the blue nail polish either, it clashes with the rest of the colors in the image and distracts from the face so close by. For a dreamlike portrait, you should go all in with romance. Sorry. --cart-Talk 20:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Garde Républicaine
  • Depends what he means by "tourist shot" - sometimes the language barriers between users from different countries mean that some things get lost in translation. A colleague of mine who is a photography teacher explained to our students yesterday that he's giving good grades for well-composed shots, where the lighting, framing etc. is clearly planned and well-executed, and he remarked that "casually aiming a camera and clicking the button is something any tourist can do". So that could be a thing; a difference between a "tourist shot" and a well-composed quality image. Perhaps he could clarify what he meant.--Peulle (talk) 15:18, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you Peulle. I understand very well, and there is absolutely no lose in translation."casually aiming a camera and clicking the button is something any tourist can do" is also my definition of a "tourist shot". Livio used these deprecatory words a lot of times here in FPC, for several, very different and various cases, and recently twice for pictures of mine. I think I've proved here for years that I'm not a tourist with a camera (well, I am, but not for "Commons"), please see my user's page. So I need a serious, solid and argued explanation of what is a "tourist shot" for Livio. If not, I will claim that Livio mades some "tourist reviews". --Jebulon (talk) 15:42, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ceiling of Grand Temple, Freemasons' Hall, London
Mile Using HDR you can get a better sharpness than another techniques and maybe Colin is using for this image a merge from several shoots that in the same point can remove noise and improve the sharpening. I already uses this technique because Colin showed me how do that. Also, downsizing is not a bad practice especially if you want improve the sharpness on super sized images, this technique is used by Diliff on his FPs, for example. I don't like use it because it reduce image information and it is not just in a competition with photographers with a small sensor camera, however we are not sure if it is the case, and in any case it is not a FP requeriment, everybody use that ever me and IMHO not a raison to opposing. Also we have the sensor and lens factor and in this case a Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye is extremely sharp and looking for the colin comment in this candidature I can tell you that he just cropped the image. --The Photographer 12:36, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mile, The Photographer, the image was not downsized (100% scale). However the defish process takes the barrel distortion of the fisheye and stretches the edges and corners out while slightly reducing the centre. I assume Lightroom creates a result that is on-average to the same scale as the original. Since this image is cropped (to remove the walls), the average of the crop was a little bit lower than the original. I measured the width and height of this crop compared to the original and found that a 110% upscale produced the same dimensions. So the image has gone up from 11.11MP to 13.45MP. I'm really quite impressed by Lightroom's defish, though the edges that I cropped off are more stretched and distorted, as one would expect from trying to make a very wide-angle scene into a rectilinear projection. The Samyang 8mm is extremely sharp, especially in the centre, and its main problem I find is purple CA on high-contrast black/white edges in the corners (which there aren't any of here). And yes, the HDR not only helps with dynamic range, but having those exposures essentially eliminates all noise from the image, giving a much sharper image that can be sharpened without causing noise to be enhanced. -- Colin (talk) 15:00, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Since the entire picture is almost 100,000 pixels wide and cannot be displayed by most browsers, I've split the photo into 16 (one per car). They fit together seamlessly. The train only took 5 seconds to pass by. dllu (t,c) 08:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- dllu (t,c) 08:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support for being simply bowled over by this. A high-tech train caught with high-tech photography. This is a good example of when this technique really comes in handy. Photographing the whole length of such a train (with such detail) any other way would require a lot of work. I might also add that the way you display all the photos here is very clever. At first I didn't realize that I was in fact looking at 16 photos when I tugged the slider in the nomination. :) --cart-Talk 10:39, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • All TGV are electrical multiple units. See: w:Category:SNCF multiple units. From w:SNCF TGV Sud-Est, "Each set is made up of two power cars and eight carriages (capacity 345 seats), including a powered bogie in each of the carriages adjacent to the power cars." The motors may not be uniformly distributed along every car, but it is a multiple unit in the sense that several cars, including some passenger carriages, have motors. The w:AGV_(train) will have more power bogies along the train length. That said, I looked around and it seems that the w:British Rail Class 43 (HST) is in service on a few lines at 200 km/h, technically making it a high speed train. So, I suppose not all high speed trains are EMUs. dllu (t,c) 20:54, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • :) Interesting. OK I was thinking "of course if there are two power cars, then it's a EMU". But I was wondering with a colleague (a little interested in trains as well) if the two of them were "active" or if only the head one was. I thought the latter so on the principle, I'd have said "single EU". Just found that the two power car are active at the same time anyways. Should have checked before, but thanks. - Benh (talk) 21:24, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The speed changes the "aspect ratio". Slow objects are stretched horizontally and fast objects are compressed. I only scaled to make sure the train's proportions are correct. The train is moving at a nearly constant speed and its speed cannot possibly change much during the 5 seconds it took to capture this image. As for the slightly slanted verticals, it can be caused by a tilted camera (although I tried my best with a bubble level), or the fact that the camera is rotated about the yaw axis slightly to the right, and the sides of the train are slightly sloped. This can be corrected digitally using a shear transform, but I don't think it's necessary and re-processing the whole thing is quite time consuming due to the large size of the image. dllu (t,c) 18:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for ur answer. I thought if you input the speed in a dedicated software which would work on raw data, the thing would set the "aspect ratio" accordingly (if I were the camera maker, I would provide this possibility). As for the verticals, I was thinking this could be because the thing scans from top to bottom (or the opposite but it doesn't matter). While this shouldn't affect slow moving subject, this should definitely affect fast subject like this train. I also thought software would fix this (if I were the camera maker... :) ). - Benh (talk) 18:21, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It does not scan from top to bottom. Each line is read out simultaneously. I prefer to scan as fast as possible, do all postprocessing, and then scale the image to the right proportions. Scaling the image should always be done as the last step. This way, we can oversample, resulting in less noise and generally better image quality. I actually wrote some scripts to improve image quality. See: [2] (from top to bottom: unprocessed output, odd/even pixel normalization, pixel crosstalk mitigation, black point compensation). dllu (t,c) 18:39, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is quite interesting. I can't check everything in details, but this is implying the camera doesn't come with a proper set of tool/soft to make the most of the raw output, and that you work heavily on them with ur homemade scripts. Congrats for the work. It's very interesting, and the result is incredible and worth the pain. - Benh (talk) 19:09, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a bit sad though if the camera doesn't let u alter the speed of the capture, so there's no unnecessary sampling between raw data and final output. Even if you don't know the exact speed, just imputing a rough estimation at capture time should greatly improve quality. - Benh (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The camera does let you change the speed of capture, but as I mentioned, it's better to capture as fast as possible and then scale it down later. It gives better image quality this way. dllu (t,c) 20:14, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now I understand what u meant with "scan as fast as possible". Totally agree with u: capture as fast as possible so you have the "longest aspect ratio" first. Thanks again for sharing some interesting details. - Benh (talk) 04:47, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: One qualification on the above: I do wish the video's creator had decided not to take that shot with the camera on the tracks and the train running over it. I know it looks cool but it adds little to the video as far as understanding the subject goes. And while I do not know how Schweizerische Bundesbahn feels about this, I can't imagine they like people doing it as it can be potentially disruptive to smooth operations (i.e., how are you so sure that the train driver/engineer knows it's a camcorder/GoPro or whatever and won't think it's a bomb, and call security? And what happens when someone disguises their bomb as one of these things? Most railroads I know of here in the U.S. prohibit people from placing objects on the tracks (and that means anywhere on the tracks, on the ties/sleepers as much as on the rails); again I would imagine their Swiss counterparts would as well).

I know there are quite a few videos on YouTube shot this way all or in part; I have had to talk my son many times out of doing this himself, not least because I do not feel like replacing a camcorder that got smashed to flinders by the undercarriage of a passing train when that fate was perfectly avoidable. Footage like this should really only be taken with the railroad's knowledge and permission.

This is all the more glaring since the drone pilot filmed the train responsibly (as compared to this video). Daniel Case (talk) 21:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, very much appreciated, but images that start with an "oppose" rarely make it through here, unless they had been shot under better conditions or presented in a smaller resolution to overcome the visible blur in a high res image. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 07:07, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personally I don't think "blurred plants" is a fair reason to oppose a wildlife photograph. A 400mm lens will produce serious bokeh no matter what you do. And focus stacking is not an option for moving subjects. -- Thennicke (talk) 23:18, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support But I agree with the others about the colours. It has the appearance of tone-mapping (canons do this to their jpegs if auto-lighting optimiser is on), which for such a low-contrast scene produces weird colours. I'm not the best here at processing RAW files but I'm happy to give it a go if nobody else volunteers -- Thennicke (talk) 23:21, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the green colors is natural and real --The Photographer 00:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just look at the clouds. Clouds are supposed to be close to light gray, but if you examine the RGB values the red channel is clearly much lower than the green and blue channels. I've put it in to Photoshop and it looks much better after a +25 magenta adjustment. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:53, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

João Alfredo, Pernambuco, Brazil

  •  Info King of and Jebulon. This version haven`t any alteration and how you can see in raw file (image description), both version haven`t color alteration, only contrast and shadow recuperation. I need change this picture adding +25 magenta to show a irreal image?. --The Photographer 22:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    "No color alteration" simply means blindly trusting the camera's auto WB to do the right thing, which isn't always the case. Here it clearly missed the mark. There is no such thing as a photo with zero post-processing; photos are always edited versions of reality, and even in-camera JPEGs are simply versions that were automatically edited by the camera. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:14, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
King of It is not a jpg generated by the camera, it's the raw file and you will find it on image description how I told above. --The Photographer 11:19, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying it is. My point is that if even a JPEG with no further edits is a manipulated version of reality, then your photo which you edited from the RAW is also a manipulated version of reality.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
I think you worked with curve and haven't controlled very good your result. Now at the ground before the railway (see note) details are lost. The contrast I find better, also it looks more natural now. The posterization is still there. BTW, I wonder, this picture has 25.8 MP and only 6.9 MB. Is it downsampled? --Hockei (talk) 05:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The previous settings used to put more contrast into the bright areas, but - as a result - also made them darker, which, I think, contributed to the slightly unnatural look. I think the details in the area you marked are totally fine, though. (And yes, I changed highlight recovery, contrast and curves). About posterization, I can't see any of that in the area you marked. Posterization typically happens in smooth gradients after strong denoising. Finally, about the file size, I use a fairly high Photoshop JPG quality setting and I think it's good enough to not leave any visible artifacts in this case. The photo is not downsampled in any way. --Kabelleger (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I still think the photo has a certain surreal look to it, but I'm pretty sure that's not due to bad editing. --Kabelleger (talk) 16:49, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Freemasons' Hall Ceiling
Thanks, Cart. I used the magnification feature of the camera to attempt to align the image centre with the centre of the lamp/star. It is hard to ensure the camera is absolutely level when pointing straight up. The on-screen electronic level on my camera does not work at all in this position, so I am forced to judge by eye and also by checking the alignment of the straight lines in the image. I used Lightroom's guided adjustment feature to refine the verticals and horizontals to true. You can see from this picture that the lamp is suspended from four chains and is itself very deep. It is always possible the lamp may not be itself perfectly vertical or perfectly centred, and even a slight tilt (or camera misalignment) on such a tall lamp will be noticeable when viewed directly below. It is annoying, for such a geometric image. -- Colin (talk) 09:17, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm more prone to think that misaligned light fixtures are due to the resident electrician than your camera skills. :-) --cart-Talk 09:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nice of you to say, but I'm pretty sure I contributed to the error. If anyone knows of a way to ensure the camera is level, pointing up, I'd like to know. I wondered about taking a small spirit level and resting it on the front filter of the lens. Would get me some odd looks I'm sure. That wouldn't work for my Samyang fisheye, though, which has a bulbous lens and a curved permanently attached lens hood. I'm going to try one of those Arca Swiss clamps that have little levels on them, but don't know if (a) those levels are accurate enough and (b) I can fix the camera plate into them precisely enough for those levels to be relevant. The level on my phone camera is more sensitive (and useful in all orientations) than the one in my camera :-(. -- Colin (talk) 10:30, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Whichever level you choose, you will have to sight it just like you do with a rifle scope. No tool is perfect fresh from the store. --cart-Talk 12:05, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me that perfect levelling with camera pointing upward can be achieved with a NN (I believe u own one). - Benh (talk) 18:29, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • You have to do like the photographers who take photos for modern cookbooks. They collect different planks and pieces of "texture" at flea markets so they have a small "library" of interesting flat backgrounds for their photos. ;) I'm sure the oven to stomachs time was very short. :) (My local food store sends me this free magazine every month. It always contains good ideas for food photos. :)) --cart-Talk 09:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I really doubt some restaurant would put this kind of shot on Menu. Food shots are very special, they need something much more than (your words) Unfortunately, the tart was put on an uncertain kitchen table older than me, with undefinite color (see original version). I had to eliminate the plate too. And as you can imagine, I had to work quickly before the disappearance of the "thing... Whats is wrong here, probaly everything except (maybe) projection. Its staged shot, needs lot of time and preparation. --Mile (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is not a picture for a menu, and I disagree about the idea that any good picture needs lot of time and preparation, even if in this case, the post-processing (masking) took some time, indeed. I think that probably everything is wrong in your (a bit patronizing) review. Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Jebulon please, I invite you to not take it personally, please be polite to the people who have dedicated their time to make a constructive criticism. --The Photographer 15:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I never was "unpolite". I think reviewers should be polite to the people who have dedicated their time to make and share a picture in "Commons". the quote "Whats is wrong here, probaly everything except (maybe) projection" is not really polite. The review was not about the picture, but a commentary about what I have given as explanations. Therefore I don't feel it as a "constructive criticism" as it should be. Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 09:20, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Measured support Perhaps the image's perceived WB problems came from the original background. But the detail, particularly on the wet parts, is excellent and watching it slowly clarify at full-res was appetizing even though I'm not a big fruit-pie eater. Daniel Case (talk) 16:48, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Neither the black background nor the top view work for me. Food has to be presented on a nice plate and in a nice surrounding. --Uoaei1 (talk) 08:54, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not bad, but not particularly WOW. Seems overprocessed too: the flashlight reflections are unnaturally dark (perhaps too much brightening of highlights) Sorry --A.Savin 17:48, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Background -- Ryan Hodnett (talk) 05:53, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Difficult one. As an example of "food photography" it doesn't work for all the reasons given by the opposers. See Plate to Pixel: Digital Food Photography & Styling for a decent book on this kind of thing, which as Cart notes does indeed call for styling the context with rustic tables, cloths and crockery. And natural daylight works best apparently. But Jebulon offered this as a "work of art". I'm not that keen on cutting objects out onto a black/white/transparent background vs achieving that at exposure time with controlled lighting. It rarely looks convincing. The round subject does suit a clock-face viewpoint here. There's something odd about the lighting, though. In many of the highlights is a patch of grey. I don't know if this is some post-processing of burnt highlights gone wrong, or an unfortunate reflection of the wall/ceiling. I think the white-balance is also wrong, and a little green. Looking at the original version, I see the plate is off white and correcting the white-balance using the plate makes the colours look a bit better. -- Colin (talk) 16:57, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support - I'm not sure I really approve of cloning out stuff like this, but the result deserves support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:12, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Ikan: I decided to clone it out because if I had taken the picture 6 months later the image would be as it looks now. The fact that it is a transitory object and also the fact that the subject of the image has looked like this for over 2000 years is an argument in my eyes Poco2 18:34, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Rwanda
  • This is a member of the Titus Group in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda - the original group studied by Dian Fossey You hike for a couple of hours through thick bushes with the trackers hacking a path and then you get one hour with your allocated group. You can't go if you have a cold and there are some other restrictions for women. The gorillas, habituated for many years, completely ignore you and don't even make eye contact (neither do you!). It is a magical experience in a stunningly beautiful and clean country. Amazingly, in Rwanda and in Uganda, when our hour was up and the guides said is was time for us to go, the gorilla group got up and walked off. On this hike, my wife and I were the only two tourists.

The Maughan Library
Ikan, we've got even more fisheye FPs than Cart's list: [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], as well as [14] and [15] which are slightly defished. For comparison, I've uploaded this photo fully defished by Lightroom. Here is the photo defished and here is it scaled 50% to show even more of the corners, though it is no longer a rectangular image. The second photo is obviously extremely distorted in the corners (which stretch out to infinity) -- the nearby desk and notepads are huge. The first photo is borderline usable, with the main problems being the oversized near desks and the poor girl on the right has stretched arms and hands.
So let's consider realism and distortion between the two: fished and defished. The fisheye doesn't maintain vertical lines to be vertical, nor horizontals to be horizontal, other than for the lines going through the midpoint. This fisheye lens (unlike some) additionally preserves diagonals that go through the midpoint (as seen in this photo). But it does preserve proportionate/relative size/position. The camera is on a tripod with the centre-pole extended so it is above head height. Everyone looks to be in reasonable proportion for humans, their notepads and laptops are reasonable, and the desk size is much as one would expect -- not stretched at all. The outer ring of desks and the little boxes the lamps are on help form a circle in your vision so you know this is a circular room. And everything is acceptably sharp from the corner of the desk next to the camera all the way to the far side and ceiling. Compare now the defished image, which one might achieve with a ultra-wide angle rectilinear lens. The proportions of the desks in the bottom corners are all wrong, and unforgivable for the student typing. The lampshades in the corner are a different shape to those in the middle. The zinc and glass ceiling is much stretched vertically so that one beings to doubt it is a dome rather than a huge cylinder. And although the centre is sharp, the corners are very very soft -- even the best ultra wide lenses are soft here. The stretching of the corners means the room now looks oval rather than round -- one no longer gets the impression it will circle round behind the camera.
I've had this fisheye for many years now and my impression is that it creates images that have a very similar view to vision. We only really concentrate on the central portion of vision and the brain tells us that the lines are straight even if our vision doesn't actually create that optically -- our retinas are not flat. The problem is that I can't shift the view as you look around this image so that the bit you are concentrating on looks straight. To do that, we need a 360 panorama like this one. That would have been nice to create, had this room been empty with nobody to disturb or to move around. As it is, this image is a blend of five photos where I chose the best bits of people when they didn't move.
I agree sometimes distortions and curves can mislead too much, but also portions and shape can mislead too. Up to you of course to decide if it works on balance here, or not. -- Colin (talk) 11:35, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I appreciate you and cart addressing this seriously. I don't oppose the use of the fisheye lens in all cases; it's in a case like this in which it's obvious that the shelves couldn't function like that that I have more trouble with it. I take the argument that since it's obvious to me that this can't be the real appearance of the place, I should figure everyone else looking at it would draw the same conclusion and that makes it OK. Reasonable people can differ on that. I take these case by case, depending on how I react. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:13, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Probably opposing will be from those who didnt try fish eyes (very wide angle lens) yet. cart you forget my shot here. It failed here, but won (somewhere else; check magazine Glasilo Ljubljana, številka 1, 2017, page 55). Known academic painter probably discovered some more. I think i will renominate it again. I didnt get FP, but i get 125 EUR. At least something. And i do like that shot. Somethime defishing will spoil nice curvatures. --Mile (talk) 11:24, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I find that new/second/corrected version utterly boring and unpoetic. --cart-Talk 14:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Photographer, what did you do to create the other version? It is less distorted than the the photo defished by applying Lightroom's lens profile. However, second floor verticals (see the red paint stripes) are a bit wobbly (esp the left) and some are still a bit curved. At the edges, the first floor verticals actually lean out slightly. Still, it is less strong a correction than a pure rectilinear, and might work well on some subjects that lack so many perfect vertical lines. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I applied a manual distortion change using photoshop distortion tool and warp tool. --The Photographer 17:14, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I like the "corrected" version and would support it. Yes, it contains a degree of distortion, but it's close enough to normalcy for me to accept it as a reasonable compromise. I can understand why you, cart et al. find the nominated version photographically interesting. It is. But it's disturbing to me and has a bit of a fun house vibe to it, as if the scene is reflected in a strange mirror. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:05, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Our brain in this section became more and more like a square applying the rules like Noise fix, perspective fix and composition fix to all the photos alike and that is a serious error, each photo has its own peculiarities --The Photographer 19:41, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan, I think that the version produced by The Photographer is an interesting experiment but isn't sufficiently perfect in its corrections (particularly the wobbly bits) to satisfy the perfectionists at FP. And per Cart, it loses the character of the original photo. All these students, with the phones listening to their own music, working on their own laptops, and thinking about their own studies, are in a bubble: and this photo is a bubble. -- Colin (talk) 20:11, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sculpture "Message in a Bottle" on the Walk of Lyrics trail. Ischgl, Tyrol, Austria
  • Well to me the image (mainly the bottom part of it) looks dull and pastel-coloured, and I suppose that means there isn't enough contrast. What I'm less sure about is the type of contrast that would improve this image - global contrast or local contrast. You'll have to experiment a bit I suppose, but I suspect it's a bit of both. Perhaps it would help if I could provide some examples of images from overcast days that I think have the right amount of contrast: [1] [2] -- Thennicke (talk) 09:17, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Skeppsbrokajen Gamla Stan from Skeppsholmen Stockholm
Extended content
  • That sound like a rather odd reason to not support a photo. I agree that many of Julian's recent uploads are stunning and I expect we'll see some of them here at FPC. However, FPC is not about which photo(s) of someones upload is the best; it is about which photo(s) of a certain subject is the best. IMO this is the best photo of Skeppsbrokajen we have. Are we really to limit the number of FPs that a photographer can get from a batch of uploads? --cart-Talk 14:15, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, technically, you are right. My point was more that I don't think we should limit how many FPs a photographer can achieve from a session/upload batch/trip/whatever. If someone can take a number of extraordinary photos in a brief time, then kudos to that photographer and thank you for uploading them here. --cart-Talk 18:33, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • And I agree with that point. I should have prefaced my comment by saying I'm not really wowed by this image; the foreground ruins the composition. I've changed my vote to oppose for the same reason - IMO the image isn't up to FP standard. -- Thennicke (talk) 07:17, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thennicke, the voting guidelines specifically discourage: '"You can do better" and other criticisms of the author/nominator rather than the image'. Ikan, I do think FPC should consider "best in scope", but that scope should never be the photographer's uploads in general. We have to take scope into account simply because otherwise it is really too hard to compare a portrait with a building with a landscape with a macro butterfly. It's the only fair way to judge, and to appreciate the difficulties / qualities we look for in each kind of subject/situation. VIC' scope is extremely narrow, though if Julian/anyone has uploaded photos of the same scene in the same conditions that are better, then I'd be interested to see them and reconsider my vote. -- Colin (talk)
Colin, we're on a similar wavelength. I don't say that scope, broadly considered, is not a consideration; I do say that it's not a primary consideration, but it's quite evident that we judge a picture of a tiny, rare insect differently from a picture of a mountain. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:49, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Colin: This was not intended as a criticism of the author - I simply don't like the image; specifically the composition. That I came across in such a way is unfortunate, and I apologise. To answer your question, I think that [1] is a better image, though even then it's a bit "right-heavy" compositionally and it's a slightly different subject. -- Thennicke (talk) 07:42, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thennicke, I know it wasn't -- the quoted text isn't quite appropriate here. But "Julian's other recent uploads are far better than this one" really isn't an acceptable reason to oppose IMO, unless the "other recent uploads" are of the same scene+weather+style. -- Colin (talk) 09:39, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • +1 Cities and towns are places built by people for people and they are a natural part of the scenery there. In this case I think they add to the composition by giving it more depth. --cart-Talk 08:12, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • +1, I can't to be more agree because people are important in a certain type of photography, it makes the composition more human. It would be kinky to think that in a city there is no one there like the land without humans. --The Photographer 17:45, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The couple walking and the man with the red hat both add a little to the picture. The lady obscured by the street pole is unfortunate though. Many of the very best urban photos feature someone in the frame, and often when you read about how they were taken, the photographer set up their camera and waited patiently for someone to come along and add the necessary life to their picture. I don't think that's quite the perfect moment here, but without people at all it would be a sterile photo. We are perhaps used to photos without people at FPC (vs the real world that is all about photos of people / with people) because it is the next level of hardness to get right. -- Colin (talk) 08:02, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree that positioning people in a photo is harder but it can be worth the wait. You could also get some other living thing in the scene. In this painting of the same veiw, the artist has added two birds in the same place where we have people in this photo. --cart-Talk 08:51, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wedding ring with heart shadow
  • I thought is was a version of a saying we have in Swedish and that there were similar sayings in other languages: "Två människor möts, blir kära och ljuv musik uppstår." (Two people meet, fall in love and sweet music arises.) --cart-Talk 14:45, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is getting to be a common wedding picture ... the rings making these heart-shaped shadows in a book. Depending on the couple's preference it's either a religious text open to a section with text relevant to the couple (usually 1 Corinthians 13:4–8) or (like this) music used in the ceremony.

War memorial monument ("Kriegerdenkmal"), Hofgarten, Munich, Germany.
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects#Monuments_and_memorials
  •  Info War memorial monument ("Kriegerdenkmal"), Hofgarten, in front of the Bayerische Staatskanzlei, Munich, Germany. The monument is composed of an open crypt, that consist of 12 stone blocks, lcoated in the middle of a rectangular pit. The crypt just contains the statue of a dead soldier, a work of Bernhard Bleeker. The monument was inaugurated in 1924 but the origintal statue, that was replaced by a bronze cast in 1972, and is now exhibited in the Bavarian Army museum in Ingolstadt.

But it's not that the monument is so crowded that using a tripod is impossible... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:37, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I shot it without a tripod, checked the quality, I found it pretty good and came to the conclusion that a tripod wasn't really required.

  •  Neutral - I'm neutral because the size of the photo is probably great enough for the noise and unsharpness of the statue and closer foreground to be OK, but I really don't understand why several of you think that we should relax our standards ("considering/since it was handheld") because Poco chose unnecessarily not to use a tripod. Why should we take into consideration that a tripod was not used in a situation in which it could have been used? The more I think about that in particular, the more tempted I am to oppose on that basis, but I will not, because of the aforementioned file size, and also the excellent composition and combination of light and shade. It may be good enough to feature - but without consideration of how it was taken. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:46, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Ikan: I totally disagree with your comment and the direction it goes. The main reason why we all take our cameras and go out is because it is fun. I cannot agree that anybody takes away my freedom to take the pictures the way, when and how I want. If a picture deserves a FP star it should get it, independently whether it could be even better. If your point would be considered valid the next one would say "why did you use that lens instead of that other one, I am sure the result would have been even better for this scene" or "why where you there at 2 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. the ligthing then would have been even better" or "why didn't you used that day your 50 MPx camera and just the 40 MPx one"? Sorry, but we are talking about freedom and about fun here. Pictures have to be judged the way they are. If somebody tops one we can always start a delist and replace process but that's a different story. Poco2 06:09, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not saying it isn't good enough to feature; I'm saying that we shouldn't judge the photo by lower standards because you didn't use a tripod. That's what it sounds to me like some people are doing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:23, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ikan: the question hier ist the "even" before "better". If a picture is over the FP bar, than it should become FP. If the picture is below it shouldn't, and if the reason for that is the timing, the equipment, whather, then that's perfectly fine. But my impression here was that you consider that the picture deserves FP status but you didn't support because it could have been managed even better. Poco2 07:21, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I'm genuinely neutral. I think it may warrant a feature, but I'm not sure because the noise and unsharpness in the foreground give me some pause. And I wanted to express my opinion that we should judge the photo as it is, not by handicapping it on the basis of it being a hand-held photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:25, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Table with chairs in Fira, Santorin, Griechenland
  •  Oppose - I have to demur on this: it's certainly a good photo, but I don't think it's special enough to warrant a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk)

  •  Support per Daniel -Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral, tending to oppose. The lamp is disturbing, and Santorini is not the whole Greece (one can see these colors almost only in the Cyclades, on tourist advertising posters and on the greek flag...), this is not very far from a "tourist/postcard snapshot" (as often said here) but I find this very inspiring regarding the composition. I think it needs a crop at left, and the blue and dark parts suffer of (chromatic) noise. My vote is provisional, it needs reflexion...--Jebulon (talk) 08:31, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I kinda like the colour scheme, but I'm not really wowed - I also have this sneaking feeling about the quality; it just doesn't seem quite crisp enough.--Peulle (talk) 18:55, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I do actually think this is exceptional, but I do agree with Jebulon that the lamp disturbs the minimalism. I'd be interested to see it (and its post) cropped out -- Thennicke (talk) 09:43, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Not as dramatic as before, but still an FP for me in terms of wow factor. Whenever you try to pull contrast out of nothing, increased noise and/or posterization is the inevitable result; usually it's from pushing shadows, but mapping from a very narrow range in the highlights to a much wider range of tones can lead to this as well. Taking into account the improvement in image quality this is a better version than before. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:33, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cumulonimbus, taken from a cabin windows
Using Raw therapee
The overexposed control was moved until some points reach white
The black control was moved until some points reach black
Noise was reduced this makes the picture a little bit softer
Temperature was change from 5024 to 5820 (I just move the control until I get a more pleasent colors)
Using Gimp
I separate the channels acording to luminosity, on dark chanel I move the color curve to add more light and more contrast
I add more contrast to the final picture.
--Cvmontuy (talk) 09:31, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose for now. I don't find this realistic. As Thennicke notes, not all scenes have pure white and pure black in them, so it often isn't appropriate to stretch the exposure to these limits -- high key and low key scenes for example. I think the "wow" here is really the artificial over-processing of the cloud contrast, rather than reality. And the blue/brown colours are more likely to be from adjusting temperature and/or artefacts of pushing the contrast too much. -- Colin (talk) 10:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I too like to photograph clouds and it is always very tempting to process them just a liiitle bit more since they look so cool then. Just to see what would happen, I took this photo and followed some of your processing described above (The overexposed control was moved until some points reach white. The black control was moved until some points reach black. Plus added some contrast.). I also cropped it so that the curves would not be disturbed by the ground structures. The result came out something like the nominated photo and it looks very cool but hardly natural. To get to the level displayed here, I would have to process much more. Sorry, but I can't support a cloud photo so heavily processed. Bring it back to normal, please. --cart-Talk 16:44, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • W.carter and Thennicke, thanks for your comments I have uploaded another set of pictures starting with the unprocessed at File:CumulonimbusMexicoRaw2JPG.jpg please let me know if you still think is overprocessed, (the main color difference was due to the temperature for this new version I use 7000), the versions of this files comes from raw file to the processed version using gimp, if you like more the new version should I start a new voting? --Cvmontuy (talk) 19:43, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is a pretty big step between the original and any of the processed versions. The second version is not convincing me either. If you want to nominate another version of this, you could add it as an "Alt version" here on this nomination.
