Thank you for nominating this image.

Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Victoria and Merrie England

  •  Info created by Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) and Wilfred Bendall (1850-1920) - prepared, uploaded, and nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:44, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info A few words about this: This is one of Sullivan's rarest works - only a handful of copies are known to survive, and I learned later that it was actually a bit of a bureaucratic mistake on the library's part that let me get this to a photocopier and take away a full reproduction - they don't normally allow users to self-photocopy such rare works, but they accidentally gave it to me in the wrong reading room, and so, when I asked, it was treated as a normal book, and I was granted permission to photocopy it in full. In short, very rare book, and we're lucky to have it.
  •  Support -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:44, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This might be better placed at Wikisource? I know Commons is for media, and it is a PDF, but it seems somewhat analogous to someone taking a screenshot of a Wikipedia article and uploading it here and calling it 'media'. I appreciate the effort you made in obtaining this rare work, and it is interesting indeed, but having a PDF/photocopy doesn't seem to add much, if anything, and I think a better location would be Wikisource. naerii 14:01, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose agree with naerii, also, this is Featured picture candidates, no feature document candidates. Alvaro qc (talk) 14:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  • Yes of course the quality of the picture (especially the seagull) is not great. But, as says specious, none of the pictures on this flickr group is better than mine IMO (I opened each one full size ;-)). And I think I was only lucky to take this shot: over about 400 pictures, only one of a defecating seagull and with a good quality!!!! -- sanchezn (talk) 18:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I completely agree. Your picture is far way better than any picture on that flickr group. You had luck to get moment like this, but hey, that just makes this picture more valuable. Someone might spend hours under "whole squadron unloading" and not get anything even close to this. --Lošmi (talk) 20:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Winter Palace on Night. Канопус Киля (talk) 14:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Question к чему Вы это написали? ferrer 20:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Наверно, чтобы участник не допустил эту ошибку в следующий раз. Vlsergey (talk) 21:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment. Я говорил не про участника 死亡, а про Канопуса, который продублировал название изображения после своего голоса. Мне интересно, зачем он это сделал, ведь в других номинациях такого нет. ferrer 21:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Просто чтобы объяснить, что где. Вот и всё... Канопус Киля (talk) 12:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Too bright... Киля, попробуй посоветоваться с Alex_Rave / Qkowlew / др. фотографами, как лучше сделать фотку ночью. Как минимум стоит сделать несколько разных кадров "на пробу" с разной выдержкой/экспозицией, и обязательно на RAW - чтобы можно было на компьютере подкрутить свет.

  •  Oppose The images of Kanopus are getting more and more quality as I can see in recent nominations. But this one should use a bit shorter time, 2,5 seconds ruined the lighting in some parts. Well making more images with different time (1s, 1,3s, 1,5s, 2s, 2,5s and 3s for example) and then select some good one is advisable. --Aktron (talk) 11:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment. Травить участника на основе его действий в другом проекте нехорошо. ferrer 20:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Как ни странно, но проголосовавшие против либо аргументировали свои голоса (Alex_Rave, me), либо вообще не знают Килю по другим проектам. Боюсь, ваше утверждение безосновательно. Vlsergey (talk) 21:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Дададададдъ. :-)) Объективнее надо быть! ferrer 21:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Товарищ Алекс Райв не знает меня по другим проектам? Нет, это не так. Мы с Алексом хорошо знакомы, это совершенно не так. У нас было немало спорных вопросов. Канопус Киля (talk) 21:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          Всегда по поводу того, что вы пытались удалить нечто, что приемлют все, кроме вас, или протолкнуть в "избранное" то, что нравится только вам. Здесь - такая же ситуация. --Rave (talk) 18:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Я имел ввиду, что я и Алекс Рейв авгументировали свои голоса. Вы считаете, что она надумана, лишь бы не принять Ваше изображение? :) Vlsergey (talk) 00:23, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • Конечно... :))) Она пронюхала и решила меня тут подорвать. :) Все мои коллеги за меня в Ру-ВП! Канопус Киля (talk) 09:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • Неубедительность аргументов вышеупомянутых ораторов здесь меня поражает... :-DDD Канопус Киля (talk) 09:40, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              Фотография нерезкая: шевелёнка, так как ИС не спас, и слишком открытая диафрагма. Небо недоэкспонировано, здание переэкспонировано. Номинировать в избранные изображения фотографию, снятую китом на открытой диафрагме и с выдержкой 2.5 секунды я считаю глупостью. Надеюсь, что через годик общения с зеркалкой вы разделите моё мнение. Попробуйте в следующий раз сделать несколько снимков с разными выдержками, разными диафрагмами, лучше наверное даже на максимальном ISO а потом пройтись шумодавом, и сделать из полученного HDR. Вот сравните: моё фото снятое на заре общения с зеркалкой, нормально снятое фото (by Voytek S), и HDR by Юрий Дмитриенко. Ваше фото по уровню ближе всего к моей версии. За то и критикую. --Rave (talk) 18:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. Нормальное изображение. ferrer 20:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. Bad composition, palace is blurry, all decorations are overexposed. Для самого Канопуса: когда же Вы обратите внимание, что, пока не поминается моё имя в котнтексте Ваших действий, меня и рядом нет? lvova (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Имхо, лучше быть dick в твоём понимании, нежели как-то ровняться на то, что, по твоему пониманию, срочно надо понять. Если есть подозрения в преследовании - Николай может иск подать, у него там наставник сидит, пусть рассудит. А то приелся ряд участников уже со своими необоснованными громкими заявлениями. lvova (talk) 23:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • В идеале, при наличии, наставничество распространяется на мозг. Насчёт АК придирка неумна; Николай, напишите иск о том, что я преследую Вас во всех проектах Фонда, и закроем, наконец, эту тему, когда АК примет решение. Если же Вы не сделаете этого, но продолжите свои громкие заявления о том, как Вы воспринимаете мои действия, иск о клевете напишу я. Договорились? lvova (talk) 09:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Николай, Вам сейчас показалось, что в обсуждении есть паппеты (кто, если не секрет?), или же что я будто бы не аргументировала свои слова? lvova (talk) 23:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some trees on the Siusi alp, South Tyrol, Italy

 Comment In a picture like this, where you're not looking at the features of the tree because it is a certain tree, but it could be any tree ID isn't necesary --SuperJew (talk) 07:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That makes no sense ! Don't let romantism overwhelm your reason. If it were animals, no matter an elephant or a slug ? This is a pleasant picture not only for its aesthetic qualities (otherwise abstract figures would do the same) but also for its cultural context. Not all kinds of trees, not all sorts of mountains, not all meadows and not any combination of them might arise such positive feelings. The very reality of this picture is only able to bring the breathing of it, even if you are unaware of it. And it works, we are transported to this place of Tyrol. That is why I think it is important to give the clues : naming the places and the species as a minimum of respect to the watchers. Because also black and white photography is somehow an easy way for manipulation, it's better to make it completely honest. You know, these trees are larches (Larix decidua) and it would be a completely different impression if it were spruce or beech or pines. Don't you prefer to know what makes you feel so, rose scent or jasmine, pepper or vanilla ? One could tell just from this only picture so many things about how nature and men have made this lanscape and why so many people find it so fine. I just wanted two or three words more from the uploader. I will do it myself and change my vote but I'm a bit disappointed to see how basic exigences are so easily blown out when under the charm. --B.navez (talk) 19:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Question Would it be better if the sand was not shot up at all? I was just wondering, because I have many like that, but I thought that those had no "wow". It is the moving sand that adds movement to the picture, giving it character. --Ltz Raptor (talk) 20:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No the sand is ok. But especially the wheels look as if the vehicle didn't move at all. It also adds dynamic if the background is not sharp but has a motion blur. You can get all that with panning shots. It takes some time to learn it, but once you have a feeling for it, it is really fun. --AngMoKio (talk) 07:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose It is great that Kanopus is taking so much pictures and he tries to nominate quite a lot of them. As I am watching the nomination page quite frequently, I can see a lot of candidates. But unfortunetaly several mistakes were made here. The sky is great but the detail is totally ruined by ISO 800 (ISO 100 would do much better work with longer time - this also improves the artificial lighting in the distance) and tripod instead of that ballustrade is much advisable (well the top part should be at least straight, not so oval and curvy (makes camera unstable). Kanopus did nominate Winter Palace in St. Petersburg I think and such image was quite close for FP positive votes, but this one is one step back. --Aktron (talk) 16:10, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It governed for the neighbors, as the land of religious orders were not divided.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  • They are problably sharpening artifacts, which I think appear when I sharpen soft edges (I most of the time apply a sharpening of 4 or 5 (on a 10 scale) on DPP on my landscape pictures). I used a 10-22 lens at 10mm, which isn't razor sharp on the corners at that focal, probably hence the pixelisation. I don't know how I could fix this, and doesn't find the issue annoying for now (or am I too lazy ?) but if the consensus goes with you, I'll try to fix. I now noticed the dead pixel... aaah it's time I change my body... Benh (talk) 21:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you use the sharpening tool? It's quite destructive. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 18:55, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it can improve a picture, like any tool, but that it has to be used wisely, like any tool... which apparently wasn't the case here. I rate sharpening level 4 on DPP as being moderate. If you take a picture in landscape mode with a Canon 400D, it already has a level 3 sharpening. I'll try to remove the artifacts when I have a bit spare time. Benh (talk) 19:59, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Try the following: Open your RAW file in photoshop. Duplicate it and add the filter High Pass. Change the radius to 1,2 pixels. Then change the blending mode to soft light or hard light. If you want specific areas too be sharper, you can use the overlay blend and brush out the parts you don't want to be sharpened. You will now have a sharpened image without the sharpening artefacts. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 21:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll give this a try (but in Gimp :) ). thanks for the advice ! Benh (talk) 06:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist clearly not a genuine coin of Clement XI pontificat time in 1707 (just have a look on what quality it could be at this time [2]), so this picture is just a good photography of a commemorative coin : no historical value thus doesn't warrant featured status IMO. --B.navez (talk) 07:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are comparing used, worn, coins with an unused one. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No it was not a matter of worn state, but a matter of coining technics. In 1707 it was not possible to coin such regular pieces. But this is not a coin, this is a medal (of course, who have ever seen a coin more than 10 cm large in diameter ?). It means it is a unique handcrafted large piece (you can see the work of the sculptor Ferdinande Sevo in the metal) and historically genuine (I have checked the signature). This good photography of historical value (nothing to do with coin collecting hobby) warrants featured status.

 Info About coins larger than 10 cm. Sweden used larger coins which were in circulation called plate money between 1644 and 1776. They came in many different sizes and the biggest ones weighed 19.7 kg (16 daler sm from 1644). Some images. /Daniel78 (talk) 11:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

 Comment Also photo is more valuable because of its subject matter (today's color featured picture is of a less well-known mountain). At least here in the U.S. I have heard of Mount Blanc and Montblanc. -SusanLesch (talk) 17:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, interestingly enough, today's picture almost shows where my photo was taken from! Also note that Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Blanc are two different mountains, though very close to each other (and one route up Mont Blanc goes through Mont Blanc du Tacul). --Nattfodd (talk) 19:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do see one : I personaly find it hard to get such a contrast on the sky (without a polariser filter). One way to get this result is obviously to... increase contrast, but at the risk of giving your picture an overprocessed look. Turning it to B&W might allow to shortcut this problem. Another thing I have noticed is that a picture's red channel has a much darker sky and similar mood to this picture. Maybe Nattfodd use one of these tricks (did you ?). Benh (talk) 17:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I used a dedicated software for the B&W conversion (Nik Silver Efix Pro). I don't know what exactly it is doing behind the curtains, it could indeed manipulate the red channel. But if there is indeed more contrast in the sky, the difference with the colour unprocessed version isn't huge. It was after a big storm, with another moving in and lots of wind, which may explain the unusual light quality. --Nattfodd (talk) 22:27, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I double license my images when I post them here, as I've done for all the previous ones. If this isn't good enough for you, feel free to delete them. --Nattfodd (talk) 12:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to delete it, i just told you that there's a conflict of license. You may solve it quick by adding on the picture of your website (here) that "such picture is released under the licenses CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GFDL". Sorry this is Commons' policy, nothing to do with the good quality of the picture. Guérin Nicolas (messages) 12:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And my practice has always been to double license my pictures for wikimedia. I don't want to relicense them on my website, as I just upload them here as a courtesy to wikimedia (and seeing some of the reactions, I probably shouldn't bother). This has never been a problem before, but if you think it is, then the only solution I see is to delete the pictures, as I won't relicense them on my website. --Nattfodd (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nattfodd is correct. If you dual-license every version of the picture, the dual-licensing is pointless. --Aqwis (talk) 14:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Question I don't know much about licensing, but as I understand it the the image is already under two licenses which is allowed as long as one is good for commons. So is the reason purely that Nattfodd do not want to mention that on the homepage rather than a problem with the licenses used ? /Daniel78 (talk) 21:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
@Nattfodd : if you are the copyright holder of the pictures, you have the right to license them as you wish. Just to be sure that you are the original copyright holder (i.e. the holder of the website where the pictures were first released), send an e-mail to the OTRS system (it takes 5 minutes...).  Support Anyway, i support the nomination of this picture. Guérin Nicolas (messages) 15:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still don't see why I need to contact the OTRS while I am the copyright owner and have uploaded it to wikimedia under a fitting license. --Nattfodd (talk) 21:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Salginatobel Bridge

Sorry, but that bridge is white. If it was "severely overexposed", you could not see details in the concrete. Check with showfoto, for instance, only small details of the bridge and part of the clouds appear overexposed when you turn on the overexposure indicator. Rama (talk) 13:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Neutral, I still think it's a bit too unsharp, but I'm changing my vote to neutral as I don't think that in itself is a reason to oppose in this case. --Aqwis (talk) 14:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The bridge is not overexposed. It is white is reality. Check it. I welcome criticism, but this is factually wrong, and there is no excuse in repeating a mistake that has been discussed two lines above. Rama (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, there is a local maximum at the right extreme of the histogram (value=255), corresponding to part of the bridge and clouds (yes, I did verify), and reflected in a severe lack of detail. If this is not overexposure... -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
overexposure in the image, as underlined by showfoto
There are only small points that are overexposed on the bridge, and an area in the clouds (see the image on the right). You did not complain about the clouds, though, because white coulds is not shocking, while a white bridge is. The problem is that, like Aqwis and myself, you intuitively expect concrete to by a darkish gray, not white. I understand the first impression, but the second, less so. Rama (talk) 21:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Err no, sorry to disapoint you, but the angle is not unique. There is actually a plateforme at that spot. User:Ikiwaner has a similar image. I would have tried to get a truely unique angle, but it was just too dangerous (there's a cliff at this point). Rama (talk) 21:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the platform in question :) [3] - Benh (talk) 05:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't think it's a bad picture at all, and I agree that bridge isn't overexposed (I compared with other shots found on the internet). But this picture misses a little something to me (I wouldn't have nominated it if I had taken it myself). Some minor issues : It has surprisingly lot of noise in the sky, I expect Zero noise from a 5D at low ISO, but maybe I'm wrong. Also CA is very noticeable (and easily fixeable with Canon's DPP if you shot in RAW and use a Canon lense ?). Benh (talk) 05:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am also disapointed wth the noise. The image is a direct jpg from the camera, maybe I would have had better to develop it from a raw by hand. I hope it is that, because else I can't think where the problem comes from. Rama (talk) 09:16, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is unedited.
I had to shoot jpg only to limit memory consumption, maybe I should make more efforts to save the raw as well. Rama (talk) 09:53, 20 September 2008 (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: of very poor photographic quality: the object is cropped, rotated and not centered, the image is unfocused and there are disturbing reflections. Please read carefully the guidelines before submiting art reproductions -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:53, 15 September 2008 (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.
