Formalien

Nominierung

Leitsätze für die Nominierung

Bitte lies alle Leitsätze vor der Nominierung.

Dies ist eine Zusammenfassung von Kriterien, auf die du bei der Einreichung und Bewertung von Exzellenz-Kandidaten achten solltest:

Auflösung – Fotografien mit einer Auflösung unter 2 Millionen Pixel werden in der Regel abgelehnt, außer unter „stark mildernden Umständen“. Beachte, dass ein 1600 x 1200 großes Foto 1,92 Megapixel hat und damit weniger als 2 Millionen.

Grafiken auf Commons können auch in anderen Weisen als zur Anzeige auf einen herkömmlichen Computerbildschirm verwendet werden. Sie können auch als Ausdruck oder zur Anzeige auf hochauflösenden Bildschirmen verwendet werden. Man kann nicht vorhersagen, welche Geräte in Zukunft Anwendung finden, deshalb ist es wichtig, dass die nominierten Bilder die höchstmögliche Auflösung haben.

Eingescannte Bilder – solange es keine offizielle Richtlinie gibt, findet man unter Help:Scannen für verschiedene Typen von Bildern Hinweise für die Vorbereitung, die hilfreich sein können.

Fokus – jedes wichtige Objekt im Bild sollte normalerweise scharf sein.

Vordergrund und Hintergrund – Objekte im Vorder- und Hintergrund können stören. Kontrolliere, ob etwas vor dem Motiv des Bildes wichtige Elemente verdeckt. Auch soll nichts im Hintergrund die Komposition verderben, zum Beispiel eine Straßenlampe, die über dem Kopf einer abgebildeten Person „steht“.

Allgemeine Qualität – nominierte Bilder sollten von hoher technischer Qualität sein.

Digitale Manipulationen betrügen nicht in jedem Fall den Betrachter. Digitale Nachbearbeitungen, um Fehler von Fotografien zu korrigieren, sind allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, sie sind begrenzt und gut gemacht, ohne dabei betrügen zu wollen. Akzeptiert werden normalerweise Beschneiden, perspektivische Korrekturen, Schärfen und Verwischen sowie Farb- und Belichtungskorrekturen. Umfangreichere Korrekturen wie das Entfernen von störenden Hintergrundobjekten sollten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe der Vorlage {{Retouched picture}} klar beschrieben werden. Nicht oder falsch beschriebenen Manipulationen, die dazu führen, dass das Hauptmotiv falsch dargestellt wird, sind unter keinen Umständen akzeptabel.

Wert – unser Hauptziel ist das Hervorheben der wertvollsten Bilder von allen anderen. Bilder sollten irgendwie etwas Besonderes sein. Darum sei dir bewusst, dass:
- nahezu jeder Sonnenuntergang ästhetisch ansprechend ist und die meisten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied aufweisen zu anderen,
- Nachtaufnahmen hübsch sind, aber dass man normalerweise mit Aufnahmen bei Tag mehr Details zeigen kann,
- schön nicht immer wertvoll bedeuten muss.

Auf der fachlichen Seite gibt es die Belichtung, die Komposition, die Bewegungskontrolle und die Fokustiefe zu beachten.

Belichtung bezieht sich auf die Verschluss-Blende-Kombination, die ein Bild mit einer Tonkurve wiedergibt. Idealerweise bildet diese Tonkurve in akzeptabler Genauigkeit Schatten- und Spitzlichtbereiche im Bild ab. Dies nennt man „Belichtungsspielraum“. Bilder können im niedrigen Teil der Tonkurve (unterer Bereich), im mittleren (mittlerer Bereich) oder hohen Teil (oberer Bereich) liegen. Digitale Kameras (oder Bilder) haben einen engeren Belichtungsspielraum als Fotofilme. Fehlende Genauigkeit im Schattenbereich ist nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil. Tatsächlich kann dies ein gewünschter Effekt sein. Eingebrannte Spitzenlichter sind dagegen ein störendes Element.

Komposition bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Elemente im Bild selbst. Die „Drittel-Regel“ ist ein guter Grundsatz für die Komposition und ein Erbe der Gemäldemalerei. Die Idee ist, das Bild mit jeweils zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Linien zu teilen. Dadurch wird das Bild in horizontale und vertikale Drittel geteilt. Das Motiv im Zentrum des Bildes zu platzieren, ist oft weniger interessant, als es auf einem der vier Schnittpunkte der horizontalen und vertikalen Schnittlinien zu platzieren. Der Horizont sollte eigentlich niemals in der Mitte des Bildes liegen, wo er das Bild in zwei Hälften „teilt“. Die obere oder untere horizontale Linie ist oft eine gute Wahl. Der Hauptgedanke ist, den Raum zu nutzen, um ein dynamisches Bild zu schaffen.

Bewegungskontrolle bezieht sich auf die Weise, wie die Bewegung im Bild abgebildet wird. Die Bewegung kann stillstehend oder verschwommen sein. Weder das eine noch das andere ist besser; es kommt auf den Zweck der Aufnahme an. Bewegung ist relativ innerhalb der Objekte des Bildes. Zum Beispiel vermittelt uns das Fotografieren eines relativ zum Hintergrund stillstehenden Rennwagens kein Gefühl für das Tempo oder die Bewegung. Also zwingt uns die Fototechnik, das Motiv stillstehend vor verschwommenem Hintergrund abzubilden, wodurch ein Gefühl für die Bewegung entsteht. Dies nennt man „Schwenken“. Andererseits kann eine Aufnahme eines im Vergleich zur Umgebung stillstehenden Basketballspielers während eines hohen Sprunges das „Unnatürliche“ der Natur dieser Pose sichtbar machen.

Fokustiefe (DOF – Depth Of Field) bezieht sich auf den Fokusbereich vor und hinter dem Hauptmotiv. Die Fokustiefe wird abhängig von den spezifischen Erfordernissen jedes Bildes gewählt. Große oder kleine Fokustiefe kann auf die eine oder andere Weise die Qualität der Aufnahme vergrößern oder schmälern. Geringe Fokustiefe kann die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hauptmotiv des Bildes lenken, das Hauptmotiv erscheint dadurch von seiner Umgebung gelöst. Hohe Fokustiefe bringt Abstände zwischen Motiven zur Geltung. Objektive mit kurzer Brennweite (Weitwinkel) ergeben eine hohe Fokustiefe, umgekehrt haben Objektive mit langer Brennweite (Teleobjektive) eine flache Fokustiefe. Kleine Blendenöffnungen bringen große Fokustiefe, und umgekehrt große Blendenöffnungen bringen flache Fokustiefen.

Bei den grafischen Elementen gibt es Form, Volumen, Farbe, Struktur, Perspektive, Balance, Proportion, usw.

Form bezieht sich auf den Umriss des Hauptmotivs.

Volumen bezieht sich die dreidimensionale Qualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenlicht herausgebildet. Im Gegenteil zum allgemeinen Glauben ist Frontbeleuchtung nicht die beste Wahl. Frontbeleuchtung lässt das Motiv abflachen. Das beste Tageslicht hat man am frühen Morgen oder nachmittags.

Farbe ist wichtig. Übersättigte Farben sind nicht gut.

Struktur bezieht sich auf die Oberflächenqualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenbeleuchtung verbessert.

Perspektive bezieht sich auf den „Grad“ zusammen mit Linien, die in einen Fluchtpunkt innerhalb oder außerhalb des Bildes enden.

Balance bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Motive innerhalb des Bildes, die entweder das scheinbar gleiche Gewicht haben oder schwerer auf einer Seite erscheinen.

Proportion bezieht sich auf die Größenunterschiede der Objekte im Bild. Normalerweise tendieren wir dazu, kleine Gegenstände klein im Vergleich zu anderen darzustellen. Eine gute Methode kann aber sein, kleine Objekte groß im Gegensatz zu wirklichen Größenverhältnissen abzubilden. Zum Beispiel: Eine kleine Blume überwiegt gegenüber einem großen Berg. Dies nennt man Maßstabsinversion.

Nicht alle Elemente müssen berücksichtigt werden. Einige Fotografien können anhand individueller Eigenschaften beurteilt werden. Für ein Bild kann die Farbe oder die Struktur wichtig sein, oder Farbe und Strukur, usw.

Symbolische Aussage oder Relevanz…. Der Meinungskrieg kann hier beginnen…. Ein schlechtes Bild von einem sehr schwierigen Motiv ist ein besseres Bild als ein gutes Bild von einem gewöhnlichen Motiv. Ein gutes Bild von einem schwierigen Motiv ist ein außergewöhnliches Foto.

Bilder können kulturell beeinflusst sein durch den Fotografen und/oder den Betrachter. Die Bedeutung des Bildes sollte vor dem kulturellen Hintergrund des Bildes beurteilt werden, nicht durch den kulturellen Hintergrund des Betrachters. Ein Bild „spricht“ zu Menschen und hat die Möglichkeit, Emotionen auszulösen, wie zum Beispiel Zärtlichkeit, Zorn, Ablehnung, Heiterkeit, Traurigkeit usw. Gute Fotografen sind nicht darauf beschränkt, gefällige Emotionen zu provozieren.

Um die Chancen für einen Erfolg deiner Nominierung zu erhöhen, lies vor der Nominierung alle Leitsätze.

Abwahlkandidaten der exzellenten Bilder aufstellen

Mit der Zeit ändern sich die Standards für die Exzellenten Bilder. Es kann entschieden werden, dass Bilder, die vorher „gut genug“ für die Exzellenten waren, es nicht mehr sind. Dies ist zum Aufstellen eines Bildes, welches deiner Meinung nach es nicht mehr verdient, exzellent zu sein. Dazu wähle mit

{{Keep}} Keep (das Bild verdient es immer noch, als exzellent zu gelten) oder mit
{{Delist}} Delist (das Bild verdient es nicht mehr, als exzellent zu gelten).

Wenn du denkst, dass ein Bild nicht mehr den Exzellenz-Kriterien entspricht, kannst du es für die Abwahl nominieren, indem du den Bildnamen in dieses Textfeld (einschließlich des Zusatzes Image:) hinter den bereits stehenden Text im Feld kopierst:

In der eben erstellten neuen Seite für die Nomination des Abwahlkandidaten solltest du einfügen:

Informationen über den Ursprung des Bildes (Ersteller, Uploader),
Einen Link zur originalen Exzellenz-Kandidatur-Seite (es erscheint unter „Links“ auf der Beschreibungsseite),
Deine Begründung für die Nominierung und dein Benutzername.

Danach musst du einen Link zu der erstellten Seite oben auf der Seite mit der Liste der Abwahlkandidaten manuell einfügen.

Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten

Allgemeine Regeln

Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt). Also dauert der Abstimmungs-Zeitraum 9 Tage, plus die Stunden bis zum Ende von Tag 9. Stimmen, die an Tag 10 oder danach abgeben wurden, werden nicht gezählt.
Nominierungen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
Mitwirken bei Diskussionen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
Nur Nutzer mit einem commons-account, der mindestens 10 Tage alt ist und 50 Beiträge hat, können wählen. Ausnahme: Die eigene Nominierung kann gewählt werden, unabhängig von Alter und Beiträge.
Die Nominierung zählt nicht als Stimme. Unterstützung muss explizit angegeben werden.
Nominierungen können vom Einsteller jederzeit zurückgezogen werden. Dies geschieht einfach durch das Schreiben von „I withdraw my nomination“ (eng. Ich ziehe meine Nominierung zurück)
oder durch Hinzufügen von {{withdraw}} ~~~~.
Denke daran, das Ziel von Wikimedia Commons ist es, einen zentralen Speicher für freie Bilder, genutzt von allen Wikimedia-Projekten, bereitzustellen, einschließlich für mögliche zukünftige Projekte. Dies ist nicht einfach ein Speicher für Wikipedia-Bilder, deshalb sollten hier die Bilder nicht danach beurteilt werden, ob sie zu diesem Projekt passen.
Bilder können vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen werden („Regel des 5. Tages“):
1. Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
2. Wenn sie 10 oder mehr Pro und kein Kontra erhalten haben.
Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPX}} markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden, vorausgesetzt, das Bild hat außer von den Einstellern keine positiven Stimmen (Unterstützung) erhalten.
Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPD}} (FP denied) markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden.
Es dürfen von einem Benutzer maximal 2 Nominierungen gleichzeitig platziert werden.

Regeln zur Wahl und Abwahl

Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:

Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
Mindestens 7 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
Zwei verschiedene Versionen desselben Bildes können nicht beide exzellent werden, sondern nur das mit der höheren Zahl an Stimmen.

Die Abwahl-Regeln sind dieselben wie zur Wahl der exzellenten Bilder bei gleichbleibenden Abstimmungs-Zeitraum. Die Regel des 5. Tages gilt für Abwahlkandidaten, die keine Stimme für die Aberkennung des Exzellenz-Status' bis zum Tag 5 erhalten haben, außer die des Antragstellers.

Ein erfahrener Nutzer kann die Anfrage beenden. Wie man eine Anfrage beendet, siehe unter Commons:Kandidaten für exzellente Bilder/Was tun, wenn der Abstimmungszeitraum zu Ende ist.

Vor allem sei freundlich

Bitte bedenke, dass das Bild, das du beurteilst, das wohlüberlegte Werk von jemandem ist. Vermeide Phrasen wie „it looks terrible“ (eng. sieht schrecklich aus) oder „I hate it“ (eng. Ich hasse es). Wenn du dagegen Stellung nehmen musst, tu dies bitte mit Rücksichtnahme. Bedenke außerdem, dass deine Englischkenntnisse nicht die gleichen sein müssen wie die eines anderen. Wähle deine Worte sorgfältig.

Viel Spaß beim Bewerten …, und denke daran: Alle Regeln können gebrochen werden.

Info Comet C-2023 A3, Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, in the night sky over Tuntorp with the oil refinery at Brofjorden to the left, in Sweden. The trees were illuminated by streetlights below the hill and a waxing crescent moon rising, so everything was made in one shot, no composite. We already have an excellent FP of this comet, so this nom is a bit daring, but hear me out why I make it. Most photos of comets are made as closeups or in natural places with trees and rocks, and that makes it hard to appreciate just how big these comet tails are. All we subjectively see is that it's bigger that a rock or a tree. But if you add in a third element of known size in the composition, our gullible brains can make the step-by-step connection and realize how gigantic these comets are. Here the layers are: trees, oil refinery and comet, and that makes it easier to understand the size. I also like how the wind was cooperating and made a "wooosh effect" on the clouds as the comet went by. ;-) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 14:04, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, but this does not work for me at all. The focus is very soft, there is strong CA to the left. The arrangement makes it look like some grotesque hand, add to that a strand of hair in the mix makes it unappetizing for me. I don't think we should promote descriptions of plants as having so many wonderful medical properties like "can also prevent and treat Alzheimer's", when none of that is proven (see the article about the plant). Might be best if the description focused on just the botanical facts. --Cart (talk) 13:03, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Llez: Thanks for your review. It's very easy to rotate this image, and I would be happy to improve it if necessary, however here I really don't think it's tilted. Otherwise the central observatory would lean to the right. Maybe the lampposts are not perfectly vertical (please compare to the pillars next to the second street lamp from the left, for example) -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:44, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think you are right. The baseline of the observatory is exactly horizontal. It is OK for me --Llez (talk) 10:19, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The tilt to the left comes from the fact that the camera orientation is not in line with the semi-minor axis of the ellipse-shaped fenced area. You should have moved a few steps to the right in order to take a balanced picture, but that would have resulted in a side view of the observatory which you probably wanted to avoid. In other words, the semi-minor axis of the fence is not perpendicular to the side of the square-shaped top of the observatory. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:09, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It makes sense. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:43, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann @W.carter, sorry, didn't remember to mention you. LucaLindholm (talk) 07:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You could either just let this nom run to its end (it will probably be closed as 'not featured' soon) or 'withdraw' it yourself. Then I suggest you start learning how to restore old images, if you have such a passion for them. When you nominate an image, you are responsible for it and how it looks. If you show up here time after time with images you know are not top notch, just hoping that someone else will do the job for you and save your nom, you are sure to bring down the displeasure of the community on yourself. We've recently had another user with this behavior banned from FPC for life, so patience around here is pretty thin right now. Anyone can browse old archives and find nice photos that needs restoring, the trick is to restore them yourself and by that contribute to improving the quality of the Commons collection. --Cart (talk) 10:53, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree with Yann. Since you have made nominations of old photos before, you must know that such photos almost always needs to be restored before having a chance here. So please sort out such things before you make a nomination. When a photo arrives here, everything should be ready and top class, this is actually not a workshop. --Cart (talk) 19:43, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Untitled, better known as The Last Supper, is a 1999 photo by Israeli photographer Adi Nes. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's famous late-15th century painting of the same name, the photo features 14 Israeli soldiers in a setting reminiscent of the Last Supper. Nes created The Last Supper to reflect the idea that death is ever-present in Israeli society, not only in combat but also in daily life. By portraying the soldiers as both Jesus and Judas Iscariot, Nes sought to emphasize the vulnerability and fragility of their lives. The photograph hints at the possibility that this meal could be the last for any of the soldiers. The photo was sold for $264,000 at Sotheby’s in 2012, the highest price paid for any Israeli photo. The original print is currently in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. -- Tomer T (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This one is at least bigger than the other one but I'm not sure the extra size is really a benefit. It doesn't seem sharp and I feel it is probably upscaled. Cmao20 (talk) 15:20, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Basile Morin, @Cmao20, @W.carter Question But is there any way to correct the comments? This photo is quite suitable for the selected images - there is metadata and a large size. MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 19:18, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The size is fine but the sharpness/detail at full size is not. The picture does not look entirely sharp even in thumbnail, and at full size the lack of sharpness is very obvious. For comparison, look at the smudginess and lack of detail on Mr Yanukovych's tie in this picture compared to this FP where the texture of the fabric in Mr Ahlander's tie can clearly be discerned. And the FP of Mr Ahlander was promoted in 2012, standards have risen further since then. Cmao20 (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmao20 So it turns out that the problem lies in the tie? MasterRus21thCentury (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I didn't say the problem was the tie. I said that comparing the tie to the other photo is a good way to illustrate how this photo is of low quality. None of the picture is at all sharp. Cmao20 (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this. Such a photo quality can't be made sharp and there is no way to "fix" cut-out background. The reviewers here on Commons are looking at the photographical and editing quality of the image. If you want the opinion of how good it illustrates the articles it's in, you need to nominate it at some Wikipedia instead, like Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates, but remember that rules and criteria varies a lot so read the rules carefully. --Cart (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Info The world's largest photo mosaic, made of photos from the Hubble Telescope.

It is a panoramic view of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away. It took over 10 years to make this vast and colorful portrait of the galaxy, requiring over 600 Hubble overlapping snapshots that were challenging to stitch together. The galaxy is so close to us, that in angular size it is six times the apparent diameter of the full Moon, and can be seen with the unaided eye. For Hubble's pinpoint view, that's a lot of celestial real estate to cover. This stunning, colorful mosaic captures the glow of 200 million stars. That's still a fraction of Andromeda's population. And the stars are spread across about 2.5 billion pixels. The detailed look at the resolved stars will help astronomers piece together the galaxy's past history that includes mergers with smaller satellite galaxies.

Info The Sinulog Festival is one of the biggest events among the magnificent festivals in the Philippines. We already have some featured picutures from them (see the gallery), but they do not in the least exhaust the incredible variety of these celebrations. This photo shows a beautiful and typical detail of the festival contingents in street dance. The technical quality is astonishingly good for an action shot. The narrow crop at the top can be debated, but in my opinion it contributes to the viewer’s feeling of being in the middle of the dance action.

“Nature comes to the rescue of every abandonment and, where everything is missing, it restores itself whole, flourishes and greens again on all the ruins: it has ivy for the stones and love for men. Deep generosity of the shadow.” Victor Hugo. This is a partial view of the architectural remains of Rocca Vecchia, Cesena (1294), although much of what is seen was refurbished and reinforced in the Renaissance period (14th century), and beyond...

Comment Very beautiful golden-hour light and scenery. I would consider to crop it a little bit at the left because that small fragment of a wall at the left margin is too small to provide a framing effect and hence rather irritates. There are some little dust spots and unsharp insects in the sky, e.g. again near the left border and in the centre, which could be removed. And could you (sorry) remove/reduce the slight halo around the two cypresses and the round pillar at the right? Best, – Aristeas (talk) 10:38, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree... Terragio67 (talk) 10:47, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, the light is beautiful and the structure is interesting, but the composition is a bit lacking. The main subject is too small in frame, I would have liked to see more of down the wall and less heaven. If possible also an angle that was some degrees more and not make the wall "crenellations" so compact. It's a beautiful view that falls just short of FP for me. --Cart (talk) 13:25, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Aristeas , @Cart , @Cmao20 Thank you very much, I made some changes based on your valuable comments and advice. At the moment I am satisfied with the result even if I am tempted to remove more from the left side. -- Terragio67 (talk) 14:12, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, it looks better, but unfortunately more wall and better angle can't be corrected so my vote still stands. --Cart (talk) 14:18, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion, like Cart's, is important, and I accept it. I just want to point out that this composition is not dedicated exclusively to a monument, which unfortunately is abandoning us. The main actor is nature (the greenery) which takes possession of the bricks or what is left standing. The composition is to be divided into two parts: On the left the work of nature and on the right the work of men. This is why above I used a quote from Victor Hugo, an excellent observer and very attentive to nature. Terragio67 (talk) 19:56, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Info Sorry if I am shocking you with this kitsch nomination ;–). But I thought I had to try a more daring nomination. This is the baptismal font of the parish church of St Michael in Forchtenberg (Germany); I did some research, but was not able to find out whether the font is baroque or neo-baroque. When I visited the church, a beam of light from a window illuminated the font cover like a spotlight, emphasizing the two putti and the Holy Spirit (depicted as a dove) very effectfully. The light probably only hits the baptismal font cover so precisely for a few days a year and then only for a short time each day. All by – Aristeas (talk) 20:55, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was just lucky: when I entered the church, I saw the beam of light on the font cover almost immediately. The disadvantage was that I had to work very quickly, as the beam of light travelled on rapidly. Using a tripod was not even an option. After a few minutes and seven shots, the magic was over – this is probably the best picture. – Aristeas (talk) 20:24, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This one is photographed in a rather "clinical" way without shadows, but that's a matter of taste. van Gogh used a lot of impasto which gives his paintings an almost sculptural dimension, I like that to be seen in photos of his work.
