- IMO there is way too much contrast and clarity. The photo has almost only black and white with very few grey tones in between. I know it's a style, but in this case it comes off a bit too harsh. --cart-Talk 11:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- @W.carter: I don't think this is really true. There is a large black area, so the linear histogram is not very developed. But if you look at the logarithmic histogram, you can see a lot of grey. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:31, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose. At just 30 minutes past sunset near a European summer solstice, blue hour has barely begun. On most days the sky tends to become colorless (unless there are pink clouds) during the time between sunset and peak blue hour, and this day is no exception. As a result, the sky is uninteresting and the buildings are just too dark. Take it an hour before sunset, and they will still be illuminated by the sun; take it an hour after sunset, and the sky will have darkened to a beautiful rich blue, allowing the streetlights to balance out the brightness of the sky. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:23, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

- I did look at the original. The border looks a bit strange in the original, but it's clearly consistently parallel to the rest of the table, and therefore understandable as part of it. In the current version, it looks a bit ghostly and patchy, so it seems like some kind of defect in the photograph, instead of something that was actually there.

- Info All by me -- WClarke 04:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support I've seen versions of this diagram, and have found the concept to be helpful, so I decided to make my own public-domain version for Wikipedia. Hopefully it is something photographers here can appreciate. At the very least, if it's not worth featuring, I can get comments from people who know this subject well. Thanks. -- WClarke 04:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Visually it is rather plain, and I don't think it is a work of illustrative art on the level of the best FP diagrams. Secondly I have never understood why some books refer to an exposure triangle. I suppose they think "three" and assume a triangle is a suitable visual metaphor. The corners of the triangle have nothing in common (e.g. freezes motion & shallow DoF), nor to they represent limits to any scale (one can go slower than 1s and faster than 1/1000s). Changing one dimension just makes a different shaped triangle, but doesn't tell you how the three attributes interact to form an image -- the area of the triangle for example, isn't relevant. A better visual metaphor is a cube, where the brightness of the resulting image relates to the volume, and the width = shutter duration, height = aperture size, and depth = ISO. An increase in any of these results in greater brightness. If one uses an appropriate scale, doubling the width (shutter duration) can be compensated by halving the height (aperture size) or depth (ISO) and the same volume (brightness) results. However, at the level of physics, only aperture and shutter speed matter to determine how many photons hit the sensor (if we exclude filters, adding flash light and sensor size as variables the photographer can control), since ISO in the digital age is simply post-capture amplification. -- Colin (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- The ISO thing makes more sense if you think of it as film sensitivity, so I wouldn't complain about that. But what's bothering me about this and all the other attempts I've see so far is that it doesn't actually tell you anything about exposure. What it should probably tell you is that, for example, at ISO 100, f/8 @ 1/250 will give you the same exposure as f/11 @ 1/125. Increase ISO to 200 and you'll get the same exposure as before at f/8 @ 1/125 or f/11 @ 1/250, or … . This attempt does this "for any given ISO", but you don't need a triangle for that. If demonstrating exposure is not the intention of this, it shouldn't be called an "exposure triangle". But then I think something like the first chart on this page would be much better suited to visualize the non-exposure related effects of changing aperture, shutter speed and film/sensor sensitivity. --El Grafo (talk) 09:46, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Agree that the diagram on the other page is better to show the effects of changing settings on the image qualities (other than exposure). The cube model does "explain" exposure and how the values each affect the total, but it isn't a particularly complex concept that one needs an analogy -- how much light is gathered by the sensor. The shutter duration and ISO values both double when the exposure doubles (goes up one stop). Only the aperture is strange with all those f/5.6 and f/8 numbers that don't seem to follow a sensible scale nor go the right direction! It makes more sense once you convert to the circular area of the aperture (e.g. f/8 is 122mm² on a 50mm lens, and f/5.6 is 250mm² which is double the area). I don't think the "triangle" model is adding anything useful. -- Colin (talk) 13:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Useful, probably a VI, not an FP in my eyes.--Peulle (talk) 12:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I like the idea actually, but would be much more intuitive if the triangle were coloured after the amount of exposure (black=dark, white=bright), each coordinate being more or less white. - Benh (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Peulle. Just too busy too effectively convey information ... I've seen this done better elsewhere. Daniel Case (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Yes there are a lot of nice photos of fine gardens, but that alone is not an argument for dismissing another photo of such a place. This place has potential but this photo is not it. This is a scene where you have to work with the different textures in the photo: water, lawn, flowers, trees, just like you would an abstract photo. Framing this so you get some cool diagonal angles would have been better. For example, the tree to the left is totally redundant, it only hinders the viewer to enter the photo and the flowers to the right are cut too short at the bottom, some more water wouldn't hurt. --cart-Talk 08:42, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment @W.carter: The left/right angle could be narrowed but just below the bottom are plants that grow up from the bridge rail and to get the main scene in focus the plants are way out of focus. The bridge is only a few feet wide so I couldn't go backwards any farther. I could try again with different f/stops but I didn't like the way the bridge plants got in the way.

- Comment - The photo seems to clearly slope down to the left of center, and at least the smaller dome on the right seems to slope down to the right. I see no-one's commented on this, but why is it happening, and should anything be done to fix it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: my guess would be lens distortion, which is pretty common in drone cameras (but not always as recognizable as here, depending on what's depicted). The focal length of 8.8 mm has about the same field of view as a 24 mm lens on 135 format ("Full Frame"). That's a pretty wide angle, so some distortion can be expected. But it seems that there are options for automated software correction available for Adobe products [1]. --El Grafo (talk) 14:12, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for that info, El Grafo. A.Savin, any comments about this? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:30, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, if you wish. My intention was, to show the entire central dome as close as possible. Not sure is some distortion on the small domes (of them at least two always will appear along with the big one) is evitable, nor if I could do any more about it with LR/PS. Feel free to vote as you like, I'm not Livioandronico and will surely neither insult you for that nor vote anywhere in revenge )) --A.Savin 20:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

- Neutral A very beautiful scene of course - but a bit weak technically. I think the bar for cityscapes at FPC has risen high enough that a 35 MP image warrants pixel-peeping. On the right the green buildings aren't really sharp, and there is Canon banding in the recovered shadow on the left (as well as a little in the road on the right). Still, these are not huge concerns so remaining neutral. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:56, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support The right side is a bit of a problem, but I take the main subject here to be the large square building on the mid-left, so I'll focus my attentions on that. It is of pretty good quality considering the conditions. I agree that the technical quality could have been a bit higher, but on the other hand I'm following the FPC rule that an image can be promoted anyway (as long as the flaws are not too bad) if the wow factor is sufficient.

- Oppose - I really like the colors, but I'd like more room in front of the church in general and in front of and to the right of the cemetery in particular, and when I look at the photo at full size to see if there's something that could compensate for that, the blurry parts that are too close to focus become obtrusive, starting close to the center of the near side of the picture frame. So while I'm definitely sympathetic to the supporters' reactions, I am introducing a note of dissension here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support I suspect that if you got more room below, you'd lose more of the colorful vineyards (assuming that's what they are) behind the church, and you might get more of those blurred branches. It's a trade-off ... since it's Germany I can't tell easily from Street View what the lay of the land was like, but it does look like the church is at the bottom of a small valley.

- Support - I will be a bit surprised if this ends up being featured, because I can easily imagine criticisms such as that the darkest parts are invisible and the visible parts in shadow and maybe a few other parts aren't that sharp. But invisibly dark spots are natural in caves, and what really works for me is the composition, which inexorably pulls me toward the exit - literally, the light at the end of the tunnel. If others think that technical issues don't sustain an FP nomination, I will respect that, but to me, this photo really works artistically and as a kind of concrete metaphor. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:08, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

- Info The Red-stripped Oil Beetle Berberomeloe majalis [2] is one of the largest beetles in Europe, with a typical length of 5cm. In the larval state they are parasitic and live in the nests of solitary bees. In the adult state they are exclusively herbivorous and can be found in great numbers grazing in the dry and open grasslands of Portugal, Spain and Northern Africa. While the best-known specimens exhibit the typical red stripes from which their name derived, populations of entirely black beetles, like the one in the image, are also common.

- Daniel Case The first upload is better, however, the Noise situation come and it's simply a paradox to me. Noise because ISO not should be a problem in this case because I'm applying the techique and tool that I have. --The Photographer 00:23, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

However, in this case, I believe that's not a negative at all, but a product of the architecture itself, which is fascinating and very vividly represented, in my opinion. (P.S.

- Weak Oppose. This is a well-composed shot of a beautiful building, but a little too unsharp and noisy in my opinion. Taking the picture almost an hour and a half after sunset (at the end of astronomical twilight) means there's basically no light left, and you have to scramble by using a large aperture and jacking up the shadow recovery, and it shows. Shooting this late is only really necessary for astrophotography; for all other subjects, it is does not use all the light possible for a blue hour shot and so does not represent our best work IMO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:40, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- While I appreciate the feedback (and thank you for the compliments), I have images of the same subject in roughly 10-minute intervals all the way back to sunset. I chose this one because of the compositional importance of the interior lights. I wanted the atrium and its surrounds to be lit up, which requires minimal light. -- Thennicke (talk) 23:58, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

I would add to his critique the weird halo over the building on the right (maybe it's some light source behind it but as it is I can't tell) and the posterization on the inside of the concrete feature just outside the window.

In many ways they actually resemble some of the satellite photos we see here of Earth and other stellar bodies. In the right light and angle they are very cool. Imagine a stacked macro of one of the "trenches" in these structures. --cart-Talk 08:33, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment This looks very much like a composite photo of a splash and a strawberry, since there are no reflections of the strawberry in the splash or the water drops. Anyone knows if this is the case? If so, I'm a little hesitant to vote for such a manipulated photo. --cart-Talk 14:24, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- @W.carter: If you look closer, you can see the color of the strawberry in the water next to it. --Talk to Kong of Lasers 16:17, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Only where the splash has been made to match the strawberry. If this was for real, there should be small strawberries in every little water drop. Then there is also the water in front of the strawberry, It has in no way distorted the strawberry behind it. I have never seen and object through billowing water that was not distorted. Please compare with other splashing fruits such as File:Orange Strawberry.jpg or others at Category:Splashes. It is no doubt a cool photo, just not sure it belongs here. --cart-Talk 16:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose (I've changed the category from "Plants" to "Food and drink"). I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never found myself in a dark room with some water and felt the need to drop fruit into it. This is the sort of image that is popular on stock photo sites but I can't see much educational value for it, other than as an example of the fad for "fruit splash" photos. Sites like Pixabay are more aimed to offering free stock photos, than educational photos, though there is overlap and plenty educational images too. -- Colin (talk) 16:26, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment - Now that this photo is of sufficient size, I oppose it as an undeclared mashup of two or more photos, particularly as shown by the link Laitche gives above. I'm totally fine with stitching together multiple photos, but photoshopping one photo into another is not OK unless it's openly declared and not just presented as a cool thing without further explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment Based on the link provided by Laitche, and this DeviantArt link, I'd have to agree this image is a Photoshop composite of photos, or does not in fact even contain a real water splash or real strawberry. The artist's other works appear largely artificial, and it is possible that the source images from which their composite works are created are not theirs to begin with (though might be free images). @King of Hearts, Kong of Lasers, and Peulle: The rules are clear: "Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable". If the source images for this composite are not created by the artist, that raises further questions about it's legitimacy as a file on Commons. With File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg that KoH links to, the manipulation is described, though to be honest, I've never thought those exploding bulb photos had much EV either. An FP must be accurately described and IMO should also be clear about authorship of all its parts. -- Colin (talk) 08:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

As a portrait, the eyes aren't well lit and the beard is lost somewhat in the light background. There's no EXIF, but I don't think the lens choice was best, as it appears to have been taken from close range, rather than the more flattened portrait one would expect from a telephoto. -- Colin (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

- While the lighting/sky is different in this one, I don't think it is at the level of those. For example, the first one above has the slide in dark like this, but has a lovely soft background and good reflection in the water. Here the subject is quite small in the frame as a result of the wide-angle lens. There is a lot of clutter to the right and left. The water reflection isn't as good and the foreground water not adding anything. The water also appears to have either chroma noise or colour moire. -- Colin (talk) 07:37, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose Wrt composition, the standard response would be "boring, centred composition". The hose head is hanging limp, upside down, and at an angle where one has to tilt the head to read any of the writing. The background grass is quite a busy feature of the image, whereas a different position/angle could have had an out-of-focus garden that was much less distracting from the subject. I'm not going wow, which is what we need to take this above QI. If you think about how you might take a great photo of a garden hose spray, well... you'd turn it on! Backlight the water spray. Add a photogenic subject being sprayed or doing the spraying. Make me think of a sunny day enjoying the garden or children having fun.

- Info I uploaded a new version with a bit changed white balance and some more pixels (7.7 MP) but not full resolution (max at GH5 12 MP in 16:9). This deletion request opened my eyes about wikimedia and some users restless. Some users do so as if the cc by-sa is like public domain. Photographers are just sucked out and then on the top of it they get a kick. I don't want to pull him in here but I totally agree with Pocos reasons. I decided I won't upload full resolution pictures no more even if the GH3 pictures only have max 12 or 16 MP (4:3). But my GH3 era is over in April 2017 and then comes my GH5 era. I'm not sure if I'll upload pictures from this camera to the wikimedia yet. It doesn't matter whether Colin or other users like it or not. Fact is that the pictures of Moroder almost all are too soft. Independently of the number of pixels. But he isn't willing to change his way so I have the right to say that. This isn't cheeky how colin said but just honest and true.
- I won't withdraw the nomination of my picture but want your decision.
- In spite of all I have to say thanks to all users they helped me to develop my skills in producing pictures from the raw photo (at last to Yann).
- @Yann: I beg you to delete the copies of this picture because they are not needed no more. I hope it's possible in that short way. --Hockei (talk) 07:48, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- While I agree that Moroder's pictures have a consistent problem with softness, the point remains that at 6MP your image and his image are comparable in sharpness. Yet you nominate yours downsampled to < 6MP and expect us to go wow -- which is the criteria for FP. If Moroder did the same, he'd get fewer complaints about softness also, but also more complaints about unimpressive detail/size. Neither then are "among our finest" technically. We are left then with whether the image is among our finest artistically, and here Jebulon sums things up -- this is nice but nothing special. As for the DR, well Jim does not represent the whole of Commons nor Wikimedia, and he could have handled that better, but he was technically correct. If you use CC BY-SA then you can't be overly precise about attribution placement. Several people spent considerable time helping you draft a better wording, which I think better represents Commons community than some clumsy admin. I don't see how downsizing to 6MP will make a bean of difference to whether your images are stolen on the internet, as many Web usages require much smaller than that, and 6MP is sufficient to print A4 professionally. This kind of downsizing because you don't want to be more generous, will not impress anyone at Commons FPC and is exactly the sort of downsizing that is discouraged. Especially so when we see you complaining about 36MP images being too soft. That's just not fair play. In my opinion, if you are a professional photographer then by all means keep them "All rights reserved" as it protects your assets from which you derive your income and pay the mortgage. But if this is a hobby then who are you helping by worrying about someone in China or USA stealing your photo? It only gives you an ulcer and you will be no richer if you keep them under copyright on some Flickr album instead. -- Colin (talk) 11:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Colin: While I agree that this is not very sharp, you can't compare a picture taken from 39 km away, and one taken only from a few kilometers. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yann, I'm not aware there is a need to take the picture from 39km away, so that doesn't really help the case. The latest upload has turned the sky purple, so I don't know what is going on. The "finest on Commons" doesn't include pictures deliberately downsized so that Commons is a loser. If we all played that game, we'd all be judging 2MP images. -- Colin (talk) 21:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Colin: I have withdrawn my vote, as the colors are wrong now. But why do you talk about a need? A picture is taken from a given place, that's all. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:41, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- If I take a picture of Big Ben from a poor or distant vantage point, then people may complain it isn't sharp, or the verticals perspective distortion is too much. But if I get a great location, that can make all the difference. That this image is ok from that distance is great, but doesn't itself justify FP. Thinking about it, Yann, I think the reason this image isn't popping out of the screen with wow is exactly because it was taken from so far away. The perspective compression that results creates a flat image almost like someone painted this mountain on a piece of card. We expect our mountains to be 3D. -- Colin (talk) 07:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

- Colin: While I agree that this is not very sharp, you can't compare a picture taken from 39 km away, and one taken only from a few kilometers. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- While I agree that Moroder's pictures have a consistent problem with softness, the point remains that at 6MP your image and his image are comparable in sharpness. Yet you nominate yours downsampled to < 6MP and expect us to go wow -- which is the criteria for FP. If Moroder did the same, he'd get fewer complaints about softness also, but also more complaints about unimpressive detail/size. Neither then are "among our finest" technically. We are left then with whether the image is among our finest artistically, and here Jebulon sums things up -- this is nice but nothing special. As for the DR, well Jim does not represent the whole of Commons nor Wikimedia, and he could have handled that better, but he was technically correct. If you use CC BY-SA then you can't be overly precise about attribution placement. Several people spent considerable time helping you draft a better wording, which I think better represents Commons community than some clumsy admin. I don't see how downsizing to 6MP will make a bean of difference to whether your images are stolen on the internet, as many Web usages require much smaller than that, and 6MP is sufficient to print A4 professionally. This kind of downsizing because you don't want to be more generous, will not impress anyone at Commons FPC and is exactly the sort of downsizing that is discouraged. Especially so when we see you complaining about 36MP images being too soft. That's just not fair play. In my opinion, if you are a professional photographer then by all means keep them "All rights reserved" as it protects your assets from which you derive your income and pay the mortgage. But if this is a hobby then who are you helping by worrying about someone in China or USA stealing your photo? It only gives you an ulcer and you will be no richer if you keep them under copyright on some Flickr album instead. -- Colin (talk) 11:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

What kind of vehicle is this in, where in Latvia was the celebration and so on. Then there is also the fact that the photo looks tilted an in need of some perspective adjustment.

- Comment My general statement to this discussion is the following: Once out there capturing photos, it is highly recommended to comprise more of a pleasant subject's environment. With photo editing it is never a problem to crop, but there is no chance to add more to a photo what is not there.
Generally spoken: for landscape photography a wide angle lens is in the majority of the cases more helpful than a normal or telephoto lens. For full frame sensor cameras (FX) the 20 mm wide angle lens is one of the best choices. It even offers more opportunities than a 24 mm lens. And not to forget about the larger DoF with wide angle lenses. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 06:12, 7 September 2017 (UTC) - Measured support The colors and the unusual angle make it work for me. Daniel Case (talk) 16:51, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

HalfGig talk 19:58, 8 September 2017 (UTC)-- invalid double vote per Special:Permalink/285160421#Administrator_User:PumpkinSky_has_engaged_in_sockpuppetry -- Colin (talk) 14:27, 4 February 2018 (UTC)- Oppose Not seeing an engaging composition here, just a tourist shot. Also the processing is overdone, with too much NR and strange pixel-level artefacts (oversharpening?). Btw, the file size is rather high. Have you been saving at maximum quality on Lightroom? Try one stop down (which is 90% -- there aren't actually 100 quality levels in Lightroom, only about 12 which corresponds to Photoshop) -- the quality is indistinguishable but big savings in filesize. -- Colin (talk) 11:25, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I didn't even use NR on this. The slider is as zero. PumpkinSky talk 11:36, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- PumpkinSky (and also Colin), if I may: I see that this photo was taken in April, and if I remember correctly, that was before you learned about RAW. If this photo is just the original jpeg from the camera, the program in the camera has made an automatic NR when it converted the RAW file to the jpeg you extracted. Jpegs from the camera has built-in NR from the start, even if you don't touch the slider in LR afterwards. --cart-Talk 14:16, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Cart Correct, this was taken before I learned about RAW. Thank you for the info. PumpkinSky talk 14:21, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- That's probably the reason. But even in a raw converter like Lightroom, there's always some NR going on. For example, the colour NR in Lightroom defaults to 25 (and is best kept there unless one has huge ISO values and little reason to go smaller), and the demosaicing process aims to minimise noise. You need to use one of the open source raw converters to see what a raw file looks like out-of-camera, and it is quite awful. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- I've seen unprocessed RAW and yes it's ugly. PumpkinSky talk 16:39, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Weak oppose The pleasant colors and exotic buildings are definitely eye-catching here, however the quality is quite blurry when you zoom... Something wrong has been done when capturing/editing this. -- Pofka (talk) 16:57, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

- Weak Support because of overexposure on the roof. Could you correct that? Yann (talk) 10:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- I carefully looked into that. Due to the curved metal roof, you cannot totally avoid reflections. This reflection fortunately isn't blown out but just very bright. However, it cannot be handled with local reduction of exposure or reduction of whites/highlights. It would entail an area substitution in PS to achieve a suitable result. Personally, I do not think, that it is worth to remove the bright part of the roof in favor for a photoshopped matte. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 21:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

- The cart is leaning due to the perspective distortion which also explains why the people are leaning in unnatural ways. I agree with Peulle that this is too much for an FP. I'm waiting to see if this is fixed before I vote. --cart-Talk 11:53, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Perspective distortion due to use of a wide lens from a low position. The low angle was required to include more of sky and less of ground. The distortion was part of the composition, the whole point of which was to capture a sense of the place. Trying to fix the perspective will destroy the aesthetics of the image and I am not keen on doing that.

- Comment The unsharp bit seems to be either a bad frame or poor stitching overlap.

Please, tell me if it's ok for you. Thanks --The Photographer 20:12, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- I've had a quick look and the unsharp area and stitching issue is improved and the poles are now vertical, but the horizon now looks to dip a bit in the middle. It isn't easy if the "horizon" varies with height and distance, but perhaps some in-between value would help. You may be able to drag the vertical centre point a little to compensate. -- Colin (talk) 21:43, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

The place is a popular pilgrimage location since the apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1754. The first shrine was built by 1750 and was replaced by a bigger one in 1802 including a bridge over the canyon of the Guáitara River. The present temple, of Gothic Revival style, was built between 1916 and 1949. All by me, Poco2 18:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

- Info The animation is showing an incorrect way to read calipers. The proper reading here should be 2.470 cm not 2.47 cm and a reading of calipers should also always state the error associated with the reading. In this case the proper measurement is 2.470 cm ± 0.005 cm. As it stands, this is a reading that did not use the full accuracy of the shown instrument. (Original nomination)

- Oppose, per Pofka's first sentence. It strikes me that this is a portrait of the cross, with everything else of note blurred. I actually don't think the cross is itself interesting enough for such treatment; conversely, the background is interesting enough, much more interesting than the cross, but it's not only blurred but seems off, with seemingly oversaturated greens. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:57, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I appreciate the effort you must have put into this. But ... there's just so much going around the mosque as to make it difficult for the building to really stand out from the background city, and even if that were not an issue the small image size has perhaps been what caused the severe posterization of the lights in front of the mosque, something we haven't seen in other people's 30-second exposures of buildings at night.

- I am a bit puzzled about the centred/crop criticism. The building may be a symmetrical structure but the surrounding land isn't. It is hard enough getting a perfect centre when photographing a church ceiling with a camera absolutely steady on a tripod and plenty time to adjust through the viewfinder. This was taken by a drone hovering in the air. Whereas a ceiling may contain a work-of-art that absolutely demands symmetry and crop to respect the geometric forms, this isn't a work of art but an interesting view of a building from above. -- Colin (talk) 09:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment The perspective correction that Johann has done has caused the left side to lean out. It may be that the image can't be well corrected, as there is a limit to what one can do if the building is photographed close-up. Other than that this is nice, though the crop is a bit too tight at the bottom. (Btw, I see this is a WLM nomination. I'm not sure what the rules are about joint-efforts. It may be that it needs to be your own (singular) work, but you might want to check with the local jury). -- Colin (talk) 18:17, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Colin: I'm glad you and the others like it. I've uncropped the bottom some, once it works through the cache, you should see about double distance from the bottom of the drain pipe to the bottom. I've asked the local jury about what you mentioned.

I uploaded the wrong version of the file. I am trying to revert to the 02:43 version but it's giving me a "same version" error but it's not the same. Maybe it's a problem with the cache. I also cannot get to my computer with LR on it right now. Can you give me a few hours? Or maybe @Johann Jaritz: can fix it in the meantime. Thanks for finding that goof of mine.

- The background is a special counterpoint (young and old, near and far, fun and violence). You can see both only with this perspective. (BTW: That's why a focal length of 170 mm must be used.) --XRay talk 18:15, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I see the thought behind this composition, but without knowledge about the cages in the church tower in the background one of the "counterpart" you speak of in the description above becomes lost and the composition looks just jumbled. I know of the cages only because of the photo I saw at QIC and went to read the WP article on them. The young/old is also lost since most folks would consider the sign in front just as old as the church. Sorry. --cart-Talk 08:58, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Distorted, angular modern buildings I get but with such an old house it looks rather crazy. I understand if you wanted to keep that patch of water in the image, but it is of little consequence for the composition. --cart-Talk 15:35, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

- PumpkinSky, Commons:Image guidelines says "Featured pictures candidates should meet all the following requirements, must have a "wow factor"". Without this, and the core mission to select the "finest on Commons", then it is just QI. Technical adequate photos are extremely common, rather easy to achieve, and belong at QI.

- @Atsme, Dey.sandip, and Ermell: This is a Linden tree, which is generally translated into English as "lime" (believed to be a corruption of "lind" and not related to the fruit) by Europeans and is generally called basswood by Americans. This is in the family Malvaceae/Tiliaceae (depening on who you want to listen to), genus tilia, order Malvales. There is an FP section for Plants#Family_:_Tiliaceae, and I've changed the FPC category to reflect that. Ermell, I hope that's okay, if not feel free to change that. I think Dey may have been asking why the FPC category wasn't more specific. PumpkinSky talk 12:15, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

- Support If this photo had been made by someone else than Christian, I would have yelled "oversaturated" but I know he isn't prone to such exaggerations. When a cloudbank comes or departs over the sea, you can get some pretty extreme light effects. Most of the time they are very difficult to catch in a photo so well done. --cart-Talk 08:02, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support Thanks you Ivar, I felt very lucky of this light, I came out of my job and the sky was clear, the time that I come to home, take my camera and go near the harbour, and the sun was hidden. I was terribly disappointed, and I was going to return at home but the weather has been generous, and the sun just lit some parts of the harbour with intermittent causing a dramatic effect with this contrast. Thank you cart, but you maybe right, while I always try to obtain a good visual effect I sometimes go a bit far when processing, is it too much? Christian Ferrer (talk) 11:00, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) I think that for the sake of the photo and for those not used to extreme harbor lights, you could turn it down a bit. It will not harm the photo. Sometimes I have to do a bit of desaturating of original photos when photographing sea, sky and clouds here since no one would believe me otherwise. ;-) --cart-Talk 11:14, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

- @Ikan Kekek: Not really sure about that rainbowy area. It might also be due to marble as there also are other shining areas (f.e. near right lamp). There is no other way to capture the whole chapel as it is one of the Vilnius Cathedral side rooms and it has quite small gates, so centered image is not possible here. -- Pofka (talk) 07:31, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

- It's a lens flare, difficult to avoid with strong light coming in through the window. And as Pofka said, it's a very small room so unfortunately this angle of view is needed to see enough of it. I can understand the criticisms though, it is not ideal. But the compromises are necessary in this case. Diliff (talk) 10:34, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

- Info all by me. — Rhododendrites talk | 02:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support I was on a ferry on the San Francisco Bay recently and saw this big ship passing through a little pocket of light amidst dark fog. I don't think it's a traditional FPC, but I love the drama of the lost ship (in the literary sense) passing cloud-covered islands, surrounded by dark fog with just a little bit of light and blue sky. — Rhododendrites talk | 02:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Since it came up at QIC, I should mention that I did not add vignetting to this in postprocessing. It's just the unusual light amid the fog. — Rhododendrites talk | 02:39, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support - I'd support cropping another third of the water in the foreground, but I support for the drama. I can easily imagine this as a cinematic shot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- After your post-QIC advice, I experimented with a few different crops. One of the things I like about this image is the circular[ish] patch of light that illuminates the water as well as what's above water. For me, it contributes to the drama/cinematic feel. As I see it, that circle extends to near the bottom of the frame in the current crop. I didn't like the way a more severe crop cut into that shape. If it were otherwise I would surely agree with you from a composition point of view. Not sure if I'm explaining that well, or if I'm helping or hurting by explaining, but there it is. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 22:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- I see it and get your point. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:37, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose regretfully. Nicely taken and great atmosphere, but IMHO, it is too hazy for me to support. Sorry. --Nikhil B (talk) 04:49, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- I object to haziness in photos sometimes, but if the haziness is the entire point of the photo, it's hard for me to relate to rejecting it based on haze. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:07, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support Interesting, dramatic shot. Dark part in combo with enlighted part is well made, wanted to say crop but no, its better like this. --Mile (talk) 08:35, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support I was also thinking "crop" at first but at full size, the dark waves in the foreground are scary enough to keep. It's the kind of seascape I'm always grateful I don't have to be out in. Taking advantage of a natural "vignetting" also shows that you can see motifs appearing and quickly decide to take the shot, capturing the moment. --cart-Talk 09:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

- I have to take issue with this. I don't mind if you oppose because it doesn't strike you as a FP or if it seems too melodramatic (I would agree re: the latter, except that's why I like it), but it sounds like you're accusing me of lying and/or misrepresenting re: vignetting. There was no vignetting added. Any tone adjustments were done to the entire image. The only exception was a minor adjustment to the ship itself (and not its surroundings). If it helps to clarify, you can see another example from shortly after here: File:Ship in the SF Bay fog (40413).jpg, in which the effect is still visible on the left but not so much the right. — Rhododendrites talk | 15:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

- Weak oppose for many of the same reasons mentioned by Martin. Seems like someone tried to compensate for the underexposure by overprocessing—there's a line of some sort around the columns, and the shadows seem too soft, as if vigorously suppressed. And the sky color seems a little bit off at some points.
Also, I'm not impressed with the composition; this through-the-columns view works better when there's more of it. Daniel Case (talk) 05:20, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose The motif itself is FP-worthy but the light management of the window in the background is not really good, that causes 2 problems firstly it is disturbing to have a bright area right behind the main subject and secondly the detail is mostly gone. Not your best work which is at highest level in other cases. --Poco2 17:39, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - I think this is or can be an FP, but Poco makes a good point about the very bright white light coming through the stained glass windows. Perhaps you could selectively decrease the brightness of the windows a bit. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment @Kong of Lasers: Fair enough, but the reason I like this so much is pretty much in line with what Ikan Kekek and HalfGig have said. It's really hard to get a DOF this deep when doing macros because the DOF at close ranges is razor thin. PumpkinSky talk 13:35, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- I Support this one. The form is great, like a sculptor who creates a great bas relief with found objects. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:21, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry but as I hinted last time, I'm bored already. And the rather harsh lighting isn't pleasing to my eye. It's a random piece of bark, no different to the bark 5cm further up the tree or 5cm further down, or to the left or right, or to the next tree, and so on. So for me just an example of texture in nature and close-up photography. So personally I'd be off trying to take a close-up photo of something different rather than another bark.
- Also, the JPG is in "ProPhotoRGB" colourspace. Never use this for JPG. Nobody has a "ProPhotoRGB" monitor to see it on, and in fact nobody has ProPhotoRGB eyes as the colourspace includes many colours that are theoretically/mathematical rather than physically possible. The 8-bit colour of a JPG can't handle ProPhotoRGB with fidelity. It is intended as an intermediate working colour-space for doing colour manipulation in Photoshop on 16-bit TIFF files. You should use sRGB for internet JPGs. Also, unless you own a wide-gamut monitor, and have setup your software and operating system and monitor settings to take advantage of it, I'd strongly recommend using sRGB for the intermediate files too, as many software tools ignore or strip out colourspace details, running the risk that you end up with the wrong colours. -- Colin (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose If you will nominate all your bark pictures it is very hard to pick out the best one. I'm afraid that's not very exciting.--Ermell (talk) 21:15, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Question @Ermell: For one thing, this is a different species. So by using the same logic as you we shouldn't be able to have multiple FPs of those moth and butterfly photos that are all shot and/or mounted the same way, we shouldn't have a FP of a Mercedes E-class if we have an FP of a Mercedes C-class (or whatever make of car), if we have an FP of one Medieval German church we can't have an FP of another one, etc etc usw usw. Because this is basically what you're saying. We even have FPs of the same species and these two bark photos are not the same species and a totally different motif. Your oppose rationale is nothing but a hypocritical double-standard and as far as I'm concerned it is not a valid rational. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander but here it clearly isn't. These double standard rationals at FPC need to stop here and now. So which German church FPs are you going to put up for delisting since by your logic we should only have one German church FP, one moth\butterfly FP shot and mounted the same, one bark photo regardless of the species, one flower photo regardless of species, etc? Maybe I'll start opposing all the German church and mountain FPs because I'm bored with them and don't feel like picking out the best one. PumpkinSky talk 21:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment@PumpkinSky: I'm sorry if the picture didn't immediately show that this is a different species. It is in the nature of things that it is more difficult to depict tree bark in an interesting way than churches, which do not necessarily have to be German. To be precise, I just don't find this picture interesting enough for FP. You should not react so irritated to justified criticism just try to improve your pictures here is where it worked.--Ermell (talk) 22:12, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment@Ermell: Then that's what you should have said, not say we can we can only have one bark photo, period, of any kind. This was not justified criticism, it was a cop out on your part. This is clearly labled Pinus palustris not Pinus taeda, if you'd looked. Have you ever opposed because there's already a flower photo? I doubt it. I've seen this many times, different rules for different photos or whatever. We can have multiple photos of a bird species but only one of bark? What sense does that make? None. I'm done with the double standards, hypocrisy, and other things I have seen here. I'm done with Commons. PumpkinSky talk 22:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

- Support - I particularly like the fact that an interaction between birds is shown. This is the Google Translate into English of the Ukrainian file description: "The young bird is still trying to ask the parents for food. Kosar (Platalea leucorodia) is a rare bird that breaks within the Danube Biosphere Reserve." What does "breaks" mean? Rests during its yearly migration? Or does it simply mean that's where the birds live? Commons search is once again hanging for me, so that I can't see what other FPs we might have of this bird. Why does Commons search hang so much? Do all of you have that same problem? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:39, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose - I like the sky and I don't think this is just a typical tourist snap shot at all. And the darkness is presumably logically explained by cloud cover. But oddly enough (or maybe not), it's the positioning of the buoys in the picture frame that's ruining the form for me.

- Oppose unfortunately. I know it could be argued that this is largely a matter of personal opinion, but I have to agree with PumpkinSky – the rule of thirds is a good guide, but it's not a justification unto itself. The far-left placement of the main subject feels unnatural and forced; this isn't how I would look at the tower in real life. I'd prefer a central composition.

- Info Set of images of the interior of the Notre-Dame Basilica, located in the historic district of Old Montreal, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The interior of basilica, built in Gothic Revival style, is impressive with vivid colors, stars and filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues. It was built between 1823 and 1829 after a design of James O'Donnell and it has become one of the landmarks of the city. All by me, Poco2 06:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Info I've seen many churches in my life but this one is one of those that really impressed me after I visited it in 2007, but the pictures I took back then didn't make it justice. Poco2 06:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support -- Poco2 06:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment First let me say I'm very happy to see you contributing new images again. I recall Diliff's version File:Notre-Dame Basilica Interior, Montreal, Canada - Diliff.jpg (which actually dates from 2006) and his comments at the FPC: "It's quite a dark interior and to preserve the highlight details, I've chosen not to bump the shadows too much. As is often the case, the full size image doesn't look as dark as it does in the thumbnail so please view at 100%". This last comment is true: if one makes his image full-screen, the eye adjusts to the lower ambient light compared to a thumbnail on white. My first thoughts on seeing this collection was "who turned the lights up max" and "why is everything so yellow". Aside from the HDR brightness and colours, I don't think the pulpit shot is at FP level. You've shot it too close and the extreme perspective distortion is too much. I'll have a closer study of the set later. -- Colin (talk) 06:56, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Colin: You're probably right about the pulpit, but there was not much playroom behind me. Either this way or with a partial view of the pulpit due to the benches (as there was no possibility to get to the upper level of the basilica). The pulpit is not essential part of the set, though, I could remove it. Poco2 07:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Good point by Colin. This set looks as shiny as Las Vegas lights. Comparing to Diliff version, it is clear that naturally this place is not that shiny. EDIT : Support the new version of the set. -- Pofka (talk) 07:38, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I have to say it never looked anything like this when I visited. I will freely admit that I visited in January late in the afternoon where there was no ambient light filtering through the windows, whereas there is in Poco's version, but I don't think it needed to be processed with so much luminosity. It seems much too bright and saturated, not just compared to my recollection of the scene, but also aesthetically speaking. I think all the images would benefit from a more low-key approach to processing but that is just my gut feeling. Diliff (talk) 08:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Well, from my point of view, your version, David looks too dark to me, to be honest. Yes, we had daylight coming into the church, as you can see here, but still I feel that the lighting in the church was stronger. These pictures do reflect pretty much what I recall, I can surely reduce the exposition a bit, but not to that level. Regarding saturation I've to say that the colors of this basilica are really vivid, specially the altar. It would be great to hear the opinion of somebody who has been recently there. Poco2 08:58, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not saying you should reduce it to the levels of my image. As I said, mine was taken without any ambient light as it was dark outside. The lighting was very different so I'm not saying it should look like mine. My image looks as it looked when I visited (very dark, just the lights of the altar and a few lights on the columns). Yours obviously had more ambient light during your visit, and I can see that more of the lights in the stalls were turned on, as well as more lights on the altar too. I'm just saying that regardless of how it was when you visited, it appears a little too bright in these images (objectively speaking). The colours are a bit washed out and some highlights blown or nearly blown (perhaps just one colour channel blown, which results in a flat area of no detail). Look at the altar and ceiling, there's a lot of detail missing there. Look at the rays of light coming from the middle of the spires in the centre - there's shades of yellow that are almost completely missing - it looks almost white. I just think this is the result of overexposure (or at least processing so that it is too bright). We don't perceive really luminous colours as 'blown' in the same way a camera and display with limited dynamic range portrays them. I can't imagine that this is how it really looked in person. Diliff (talk) 10:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- David, I checked the sources of light again. Apart from the fact that apparently all lamps were on, when I visited it, there are several light inlets in the church not just in the walls, but in the roof, some are over those lamps in the middle of the nave and a bigger one over the main altar. About your comments on overexposure will check that closely this evening. Poco2 12:29, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment - I was there last summer (that is, summer of 2016), on an afternoon. There was some light coming in, but if I remember correctly, it wasn't nearly as bright as depicted in these photos, although it was brighter than when Diliff was there. I feel like the atmosphere in the church was closer to Diliff's version, though. I hope my girlfriend, a former resident of Montreal, has a chance to look at these photos, because she could say whether it ever looked this bright in her experience. I'll let you know what she has to say when I'm able to show these to her. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:36, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I'm puzzled with the colors. The top of the pulpit is deformed.--Jebulon (talk) 16:39, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I've uploaded a new version of the series with less saturation and exposure, the difference should be visible but not dramatic. I've also removed the pulpit picture from the series, I agree with the comments in that case. David, the dynamic range in the church was considerable, my darkest frames do in fact have some overexposed dots (lamps) but not in the altar. Poco2 18:55, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- It's normal to have blown highlights in the lamps. It's nearly impossible to process lamps properly anyway from my experience, because Lightroom doesn't actually provide enough control to reduce the highlights enough - partly due to the sliders not going far enough, and partly because the processing engine seems to have trouble with extreme highlight reduction. So if there was no overexposure in the altar then it was just processed too brightly I think. At least no information was lost, you just needed to reduce the luminosity a bit. I think it's an improvement now, the altar's colours look more natural and the exposure looks closer to natural. Diliff (talk) 08:03, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

- Support Railroad & Ferry Depot Museum in Tiburon, California, looking out to San Francisco Bay. The museum is on the National Register of Historic Places, but I don't think the building is likely to wow many people; it's the composition of the image that I quite like, and the slice of the San Francisco Bay area that it captures (Angel Island is in the immediate background, and you can see the city skyline in the far distance, behind the little sailboat). — Rhododendrites talk | 23:03, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

I do mostly like the composition (the sailboat is a small but excellent touch) but as KoH says, the grass near the bottom could be cropped out without cutting into the bottom of the closest bollard... content-aware fill may do a decent job of cloning it out without cropping. Also, I would run it through lens profile corrections to remove color fringing, vignetting, and minor distortion. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:14, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Juliancolton and King of Hearts: It's an Olympus MFT camera, so lens corrections are built into the raw file (discovered this when trying to figure out where the profile for it was in Lightroom). That said, I've gone in and done some manual defringing. Also did a bit of a perspective adjustment to address the distortion issue you mentioned. That necessitated a bit different crop. Brightened a little bit, and applied a minor vignetting correction. The result is here (again, I've reverted to the original for FPC purposes, but will change if there's a broad sense this new version is an improvement). Thanks for your feedback. — Rhododendrites talk | 06:13, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't know that! You learn something new every day. :) Yes, I think the linked revision is notably improved. Hopefully enough other participants chime in to endorse making that the live version. –Juliancolton | Talk 13:44, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- @King of Hearts, PetarM, and Daniel Case: Just a ping to see if you agree that this version sufficiently addresses these concerns? If so I will switch to that version and ping those who have supported thus far just in case. Thanks.— Rhododendrites talk | 18:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Daniel Case (talk) 16:22, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I do agree with KoH actually, and as you already mention above, Rhododendrites, the object is not really wowing (old/historic in the States is surely not what we'd consider old/historic in Europe). I believe that I'd liked to see more of the bay on the right. With this composition both the bay and the building are fighting for attention.

- Comment Hmmm, not sure what to do with this one. Several of the opposes seem to be based on the things that are now, at least according to a couple people, at least mostly fixed. Obviously there's not much I can do for those who don't care for the composition, but would it make more sense to withdraw this one and start over with the modified version? — Rhododendrites talk | 03:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Rhododendrites I think this is a great pic, it is very refreshing to see a normal house treated the same way normally only done with castles and churches here. However, people are usually slow to come back and check out a photo (as well as their votes) after issues have been fixed, especially during a weekend. This nom has become very jumbled, so I think it would be better to withdraw this now and make a new fresh one of the fixed version. In the future, you can use the "Alt" option for a fixed version on a nomination so as to keep the old one to compare with. Doing back-and-forth changes in the same photo is not the best way since it may be confusing for voters and you need to constantly 'ping' them. Make a clean new start. --cart-Talk 11:34, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- talk put Alternative or once more. I would crop bottom, and put some exsposure, also check if crop some of top would be better. --Mile (talk) 12:01, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose on grounds of technical quality. The image is grainy and suffers from extensive long exposure noise, as well as some color fringing. I also feel it's oversaturated. Lightning photos are quite common so there's no compelling reason to overlook the IQ issues here. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:18, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Three animals are on it and aren't scared: a monkey, a large bird, and what looks like some sort of ungulate. There's something odd about the backlight on the monkey.

- Oppose - This could be a useful VI, except that video clips are unfortunately not accepted at VIC. However, as an FP candidate, I'm finding it a bit boring. I would have suggested editing out the time that the train is in tunnels (or all but the time needed to sufficiently identify the tunnel on the screen and show the entrance and exit from it). I'm also really bothered by the picture quality. It's really too light and quite blown in places. If the picture quality were the video equivalent of photos by Kabelleger, I might find the clip captivating even while waiting for the train to get out of the tunnel. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:06, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Starts out with overexposed shot and continues in rather low quality. The slow pace makes it look like a bad version of those "slow TV" films the Norwegiens are so fond of making and that's not working as an FP. --cart-Talk 09:07, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per cart. This video does suggest what might be possible with a drone, but in addition to the camera's inability to handle the high contrast at the start, it demonstrates that the moving image is not enough. It needs to be edited. Daniel Case (talk) 00:08, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose As said above. --Mile (talk) 09:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Question Thank you @Ikan Kekek, W.carter, Daniel Case, and PetarM: for your reviews. I agree that the video is overexposed at the beginning and that it's boring. I don't want to cut it for documentary purposes (show the whole journey in real-time). I have also absolutely no problem with it, that it will not become a featured media. I just nominated it because it got far the most positive comments of all my videos on youtube.
However, what I don't unterstand is why you think that the quality is not good? Did you look at the video in full resolution (bottom right in the player)? It is 4k (3'840 × 2'160 Pixel), a resolution that most monitors are not even able to reproduce and some computers are not able to process.--Capricorn4049 (talk) 21:59, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

- Jebulon compared to last shots, i think your monitor isnt set correct. Shots are dark, colors dull. Something might be wrong. Laptop ?--Mile (talk) 11:01, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- Mile, thanks for advice. But I watch my pictures on two monitors, one MAC27 at home, and one PC19 at work. And I don't see what you say. I don't understand really what "dull" mean in this case. The fact is that the light is very harsh in summer in Greece, and I used a polarizing filter. Maybe there is something on that side. Anyway, even if I disagree with you for the most part, thanks again for interest and help.--Jebulon (talk) 14:56, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- Jebulon, I think you are right that the polarization filter is what is causing the problem. From what I know, strong, harsh light is not usually a reason to use such a filter. It is more designed to get rid of reflections on surfaces. I think stong light is better to control by altering the APEX exposure bias (say -0,7 or so) and fix things later in post-processing. I recently did a test myself to see how a polarizing filter altered a scene and the result looks a bit like your photo. I shot the exact same scene with and without a filter on a very bright and sunny day. I think it's a matter of taste which version you prefer. --cart-Talk 17:01, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- Abandoned my PL long time ago, nothing good of them. Never sharp as original. --Mile (talk) 18:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- Then u probably went for the cheap ones. I personally use B+W and it's pretty good for that matter. - Benh (talk) 19:10, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Benh, PetarM, Jebulon, and W.carter: If I may offer my very humble opinion on polarizing filters...and I readily admit I don't have the knowledge or experience you all have, but I like my circular polarizing filters. In my experience, they can cut sunlight, affect colors---making them brighter or darker depending on where the sun is and where you turn the filter to, and cut reflections. See [4] and [5]. Just my two cents. PumpkinSky talk 01:51, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Something like that. You also loose some 1/3-half of stop. Checked EXIF of Jebulon shot. Focal 54 mm, Manual exposure, 1/60 sec, f/10, ISO 50. I would say, if you got best PL, you might loose in this Manualising. Automatic isnt that stupid, sometimes is better to leave it. I would say isnt sharp due to large time, i doubt its was on tripod. Tint +6 (i never saw od daylight that much), Vibrance +34, Blacks +28, Clarity +41, Luminance Adjustment Blue: -17. I think its more spoiled in software, with losing sharpness with handmoving (in case you got best and expencive PL), otheriwse add PL in it. --Mile (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose per Poco and Hockei. An FP can be taken from this angle, I believe. And in this light. But polarizing the whole image was probably too much. I might've gone with a GND, or used the sea from the polarized image with the land from an unfiltered one and, perhaps, GND'd sky. But that might have been too much manipulation for some people. Daniel Case (talk) 22:52, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
