[edit]Nominierung
[edit]Leitsätze für die Nominierung
[edit]Bitte lies alle Leitsätze (Englisch) 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.

Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten
[edit]Allgemeine Regeln
[edit]- 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“):
- Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
- 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
[edit]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
[edit]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.

- Abstain Isn't the image slightly tilted to the right? I'm estimating it based on the cloud bottoms. I tried to rotate it to the left by about 1.75 degrees, and I believe it looks more correct this way. I also modified the white balance to make it look somewhat colder. I know that elephants can be quite yellowish-brownish, but in this image the plants seem to have too warm hue/white balance. I don't know what the rules and etiquette are about uploading "new versions" or variants, so I haven't uploaded it.--Tupungato (talk) 15:27, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, fair, thank you for your feedback. I made some changes, please, have a look. To your question, please, don't upload versions on your own, that makes no sense. I have the RAW file as source and if somebody requests a change later one I wouldn't have the right version, so it makes sense that I do those changes.

- Info The upper part of Parkaden, a multi-storey car park built 1965 built by the luxury department store Nordiska kompaniet in Stockholm. The design is a combination of one express ramp and inclined parking ramps. Architect was Hans Asplund. Hans Asplund, son of the legendary architect Gunnar Asplund, and a architect and tarchitectural theorist most know today for Parkaden and Eslöv civic centre but also said to is have coined the term neo-brutalism. Over time, Hans Asplund became increasingly critical of modernism and, in 1980, published the book Farväl till functionalism, which systematically reviewed what the author considered to be the shortcomings of modernist architecture and his father's famous manifesto acceptera.
- This is one of my own favorite pictures (I have a large enlargement in my apartment). I like the lines, the shadows and the contrasts and the, perhaps for many unexpected, beauty of this rather dilapidated sixties dream. The photo was taken before the upper floor was rebuilt.

- Info Architect Paul Abadie was commissioned to design the basilica, initially (1875), in a Romanesque-Byzantine style. He died in 1884, and then other architects continued his work with the result that a structure was obtained without a predominant characteristic, and for this reason unique in the world. Since 1900 this place full of meaning has been a symbol of Montmatre in Paris. c/u/n by Terragio67 -- Terragio67 (talk) 13:43, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Nice weather but the picture is not horizontal. See the two horses, not leveled. And not vertical either (see the walls leaning to the center on both sides) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I willingly corrected the verticals because a very slight convergence was actually visible with three-point perspective. Instead, the majestic staircase with gardens that leads to the basilica, and consequently the balcony where people are looking out, is not aligned with the basilica, because they have different angles. For this reason there remains a slight perspective shape whereby the horse on the right is slightly higher than the other. By the way, thanks for your comment. Terragio67 (talk) 11:28, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction of the verticals. About the horizontal lines, I'm sorry to disagree, after having taken the time to listen the arguments (Aristeas's in particular) and looking at maps, I believe that such a distance of the camera associated to such a minor angle (to the right) cannot realistically justify a strong horizontal inclination. This could be calculable geometrically :-)
- I think this aspect is correct. Top AND bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support I was confused by the perspective, but Terragio67’s answer has opened my eyes: the basilica and the stairs/balcony are indeed not on the same axis ([1]), so in any photo of the south façade either the basilica or the monumental stairs and balcony will look misaligned. In photos taken from further away this is less appearant, but still visible (see the category). I can’t blame the photographer for this. A brownie point for this photo: the perspective avoids the usual vast crowd of people in the foreground – there are still enough people in the photo, of course, but they appear rather few when compared to the commons shots from the stairs. – Aristeas (talk) 15:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment
Good point :-)Sorry, I don't read Italian (for the title) though I think the word Trompe-l'œil is missing there. Still, there is "flat" and "flat", and the camera doesn't seem in the axis. The bottom and the sides are not symmetrical. To be honest, at first sight my eyes were attracted by the distracting black shape. That part could be cropped out. The two columns at the bottom are showing the same perspective, as if the picture was taken from the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)- I'm terribly sorry, I was tromped, the right part is missing. Trompe-l'oeil is in the English description, the other is just the filename. By the way I was going to delete my comment. You can see it in the other fotos of the painting.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Re-updated comment Yes, after looking at this view I realized my first impression was rather right. And it seems also possible to take the picture from the center, like here. Thanks for your comment. -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support I like it the way it is. Not every single Featured Picture has to be in the axis. This is a photo depicting a three dimensional object with details in variety of levels. I appreciate the fact that I can see the sculpted balustrade, which would be invisible or almost invisible in symmetrical axis composition encouraged by many Commons users. This perspective allows me to appreciate the painted ceiling, but also to better understand the surrounding architecture, which is a great thing taking into account Wikimedia Commons image should be encyclopedically useful. Don't get discouraged in submitting unusual perspectives for Featured Pictures. Other voters, don't be intimidated by seasoned users who discourage unusual perspectives. --Tupungato (talk) 22:30, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Wow, “seasoned users” – I must remember that cultivated phrase. Very useful, as nobody can say for sure whether this is a respectful description or a refined insult. Well, every FPC regular knows that Basile and me often disagree, but when Basile is called a “seasoned user” I hope I am allowed to share this designation with him. Or am I already a rotten user, having been on Commons for six years longer? Who knows … ;–) But I agree that nobody should be intimidated by any other user, of course. Please take our arguments, check them, compare them, form your own opinion based on reasons, vote. Thank you. – Aristeas (talk) 10:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support Certainly not the most romantic one of the many castles and manors of the Ukraine, but the longer I look at it the more I like the clear geometric construction and how the fortress hides an imposing palazzo in fortezza. One hint: On the roofs of the palace there is some blue/orange/red moiree. In Lightroom or Photoshop/ACR, paint a brush mask over it and set “Moiree removal” e.g. to +60; it may be useful to increase (with the same mask) the saturation a bit, e.g. +20, because moiree removal often decreases saturation. If this is unclear, just drop me a note. – Aristeas (talk) 19:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Your description (“horizontal play of lines behind the sea wall at Paesens with a view of the Wadden, a unique tidal area”) confirms that this is a photo of the landscape/nature.

- Info It’s not a good day for sailors. Pilot boat, Pacific Scout, in lashing rain and gale force winds (70 - 90 km/hour, with gusts to 110), comes in off the Salish Sea into the protection of the breakwater at Ogden Point Light, Victoria, BC Canada. The container ships keep coming up from Seattle or Tacoma and if the Pacific Scout can’t take off the pilot, then it will be some days before the pilot will land. c/u/n by GRDN711 -- GRDN711 (talk) 22:48, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

- Underexposed Yes, though the picture looks interesting -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:21, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed. This is clearly proven by the excellent visibility of every detail on the head louse's body - its tiny hairs, complex body texture, and even various color shades. The dark, almost black background is not an exposure error, but rather serves to highlight the main subject more clearly. The image's tonality is well balanced - we can clearly see details in both lighter and darker areas, confirming that the exposure is not incorrect. This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect. If the picture were truly underexposed, we wouldn't be able to see such fine details and color tones that are now clearly visible. Janeklass (talk) 04:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Disagree. You will see more details if the photo is better exposed. Currently the contrasts are very hard to distinguish, especially at thumbnail size.
- Note that you can also see a lot of details here, although the photo is underexposed too. And that one was properly fixed.
- Hard to hear that "it's impossible to agree with the claim that this image is underexposed" while the two first reviewers here both find the image too dark :-) Then above you write "This lighting choice is intentional here, designed to give the image a slightly dramatic effect" (by the way, I don't understand this dramatic intention. It's just a close-up of an animal, no special background / context). Sorry, clear light problem for me, in state -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Sorry. I agree that there are dark photographs which do not tolerate an increasure of the exposure – reproductions of dark paintings, some gloomy atmospheric landcape photographs, low-key photos etc. However I fail to see why this would apply to this photo, despite of the explanations. I have played a bit with this JPEG file and can confirm that a careful increase of the brightness works very well when at the same time the light parts are dialed down a bit. If you have a raw image or a 16 bit TIFF file, this should work even better. Of course you have all right to keep your photo as you think it should be (so keep it!), but I cannot support it here. Sorry again, – Aristeas (talk) 10:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- As I mentioned before, this solution was intentional. I did try making changes but wasn't satisfied with the result.

- Oppose I am not a fan of stained glass photographed like this. The contrast and saturation has been pumped up too high so that the colours of the glass are exaggerated, and the details around the window are completely black. It doesn't look natural. I agree that many of the stained glass photos in the gallery have similar processing, but I don't think they should be FP either. This to me is an example of it being done right.

This photo was perhaps a fair candidate in 2012, but much less in 2024. And even at that time, a tripod would have helped to increase the quality.

- Comment Just a nerdy note regarding the resolution: Some camera sensors deliver some more pixels than officially supported by the manufacturer. These extra pixels at the margins of the sensor are cut off by the cameras when creating a JPEG image, but they are saved into the raw image files; normally we still do not seem them because most raw converters just cut them off, too, probably because some of these extra pixels are often faulty. If one opens a raw image file from the camera used here (α7R IV) with RawTherapee, some of the extra pixels are retained and we get an image of 9,560 × 6,368 pixels. This means that all pixels in this photo (9,557 × 6,336 pixels) could indeed come straight from a simple single shot. Of course the Exif data state that the photo was developed with “Adobe Photoshop 25.9 (Windows)”, i.e. probably with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), and ACR cuts the raw images from the α7R IV always to the nominal 9504 × 6336 pixels. But it is possible that the raw image was first developed with another raw converter (like RawTherapee) and only then edited with Photoshop … That’s the theory. Of course it seems more likely that the photographer made some kind of projection/perspective correction and streched the image slightly during that process; this would also explain the extra pixels and the image would still be authentic. – Aristeas (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Very interesting. Thank you for this information regarding this camera body -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- The same applies also to other camera bodies, with a varying amount of extra pixels. Checking e.g. a CR2 file from the Canon EOS 5D IV, RawTherapee shows me 6732 × 4492 pixels – a little bit more than the official 6720 × 4480 pixels. So if one ever finds oneself in the situation that “just a few pixels” are missing at a border to complete the composition, it’s worth to give it a try and to open the raw image with RawTherapee … ;–) End of digression, sorry. – Aristeas (talk) 11:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

- Question The nomination indicates the name Scosse as uploader, but according to the file page, the uploader is Civvì. And because this last version is significantly different from the original one, with heavy processing, lifted shadows and oversaturated colors, I wonder if these modifications have been approved by the photographer. This message suggests that Scosse is not at the initiative of the FP nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:13, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Oppose per Basile Morin, and also wonder where the high resolution version of the image came from. If it was not uploaded by or with the consent of the original photographer then this is a copyright violation - if the photographer has chosen only to release the 6megapixel version then we don't have the right to upload a larger version that wasn't explicitly released under a Creative Commons license over the top Cmao20 (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi all, during the first candidature as QI the original version of the picture was considered too small so I asked the author if they were willing to upload a larger version of the picture, instead of uploading it they sent it me via email and I uploaded it. Maybe I should forward this email exchange to VRTS? --Civvì (talk) 15:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC) Update, I just forwarded the emails to VRTS. --Civvì (talk) 15:49, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Vote and comment struck on that basis. I will have a think about whether the lens flare bothers me too much to support. The dust spot should be fixed though. Cmao20 (talk) 16:05, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support very well --Msb (talk) 21:27, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the clarification about the image source. The lens flares and dust spot are still a problem in my view, but more importantly, which person did manage the post-treatment here, Scosse or Civvì? Scosse could have sent the same image in larger size as requested, and Civvì handled the processing before uploading it? In any case the correct name of the uploader should be updated on this nomination -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'll ask the author to re-upload the image. --Civvì (talk) 23:12, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- The author uploaded a new version with reduced flares. --Civvì (talk) 17:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the notification and attempt to improve, but sorry to say the correction is not well handled in my opinion. First, the dust spot and lens flares are still there (I will add image notes to specify the exact locations), then the dark spot added to reduce the white spot in the center creates artificial shadows on the rocks. Moreover, in this last version, the contrasts have been reduced, or the clarity increased, compared to the original, it's really blueish in the background and at the top of the foreground -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:35, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose I agree with Cmao20. In this case, the cropped shoes ruin the composition in my view. Please do bring more space around if you can. Although the full resolution of the camera has been reached here, perhaps a different shot as alternative? I will be happy to review again and perhaps change my vote -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Basile Morin. -- Karelj (talk) 15:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Extremely sorry, actually this species gave me only 10 sec for clicking photographs. Suddenly it came and sit on my shoes and this moment I clicked only one photograph after clicking it move to land then I clicked another one and after clicking it was gone. I am using Tamron 90mm prime that why I am failed to click more wide image, I was standing for search another species suddenly it came and at that moment I was clicked photograph from where I was stand before. This species not give to me more time for clicking more images. Ankit0908 (talk) 02:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support I like this unusual take. Full quality on butterfly. I understand the compromise in partially cropping shoes. We still get the full context (the other shoe with visible sock inside), but the crop is tight enough that the butterfly is quite big. --Tupungato (talk) 22:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

- Weak support Agree that unusual takes are very welcome; and the butterfly itself is very sharp; just the crop partially spoils the effect. – Aristeas (talk) 10:16, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support Impressive church in beautiful winter scenery, good composition. The side light nicely emphasizes the shapes of the building. Large parts of the foreground are in the shadow, but IMHO this works well here because it gives a nice contrast to the bright walls and the golden domes (if everything on the photo was in the sun, it would probably look flat and boring). – Aristeas (talk) 19:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
