Blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
  •  Support Sorry if I'm wrong, but I think mixing water and air in a single shot is not easy, and rare enough. Thus per COM:FP: "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject." In that case I guess the top of the device might be humid? Still I find the composition captivating and innovating. The image shows us how close the sharks swim to the surface. And it reminds me Jaws (the film). The level of detail of the animals is excellent for an underwater picture -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. The underwater plastic dome, which is wet, distorts the top half of the picture. Of course, many half-and-half photos online are merged images. There may be other half-and-halfs of sharks (or other animals) on Commons, but I've not found any. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Giles' photos and the experiences he presented have now convinced me otherwise. My apologies, Charles. Nevertheless, it is still impressive, and I fully support Famberhorst's recommendation to nominate it at VIC. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 22:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment We have valued image (VI) for rare photos that do not meet the FP standard.--Famberhorst (talk) 18:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Half underwater photography with unblury top is not hard to do. There are three different ways to achieve it : 1) rubing some special lotion on the dome glass like this product ; 2) keeping the top of the glass dry ; 3) replunging the dome completely in the water and then taking it out again. I would personally not use the first option as I don't think such lotion would be good for the ocean or the animals. But I got very easily many pictures with sharp top only using the technic described with option number 3. Here are some examples taken with a GoPro inside a GDome in 2021 in the Bahamas : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. And I have much more : link. For this picture, if the dome would have been plunged underwater and taken out again a picture with clear top would have been taken. Given how easy it is to take half underwater pictures and given how common and easy black tip reef sharks can be found for tourists I personnally think that this picture is not at FP level and not even at QI level, sorry. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 20:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Sorry, I should have gone to the very shallow water where the pigs were. Would that that sharks were that slow... Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No need for shallow water, you can easily dip back the dome in the water in deep water. Also the pigs were actualy the ones running while blacktip sharks usually swim slowly most of the time. Finally, blacktip sharks are very easily found in shallow water and the fact that the sand is visible in this picture indicates that it was taken in shallow water -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Montbenon courthouse, Lausanne.
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured_pictures/Places/Architecture/Exteriors#Switzerland
  •  Info The Montbenon courthouse was built between 1881 and 1886. This is an experimental composition shown from the side with a subtle fisheye effect, but the building is not actually curved. This type of wide shot allows you to appreciate the effect of the clouds in the sky being swept by strong winds at altitude. Created, uploaded and nominated by Terragio67 -- Terragio67 (talk) 18:22, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Terragio67 (talk) 18:22, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I agree in this case that the curvature makes this photo very striking and accentuates the sweeping clouds. The quality is outstanding and I can't find any stitching errors. Cmao20 (talk) 00:41, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support iMahesh (talk) 01:44, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Like here, the cylindrical lines don't work for me, because it makes the appearance weird like deformed. Is it possible to make the perspective rectilinear? I also find the crop tight at the bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Basile and thanks for your comment. In this case the rectilinear projection does not work too, furthermore there would be a tree and a bush hugely depicted on the right side, subjects in the foreground and which would occupy 30% of the composition. Yes, your observations are correct, the bottom is tight, but there is a valid reasonː The compositional photo of the monuments, as a rule and out of politeness towards other people, must be taken if possible without framing them. In this case it was difficult, because there were several dozen people (even close to me) enjoying the last rays of the sun in front of the view of Lake Geneva. For this reason I did not want and could not point the camera downwards. I absolutely had to avoid them also because there are many other disturbing and distracting elements: Trees, bushes, street lamps and the enormous statue of W. Tell, positioned in front of the main entrance of the building. The cylindrical projection, in this particular case, by distancing some parts of the edge subject by gently curving it, has the advantage of enhancing the central part of the building and offering the richness of details with the colors brightened by the golden hour, together with the sky as a co-protagonist backdrop. Terragio67 (talk) 05:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --SHB2000 (talk) 03:21, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose -- It's really a shame about the great sky, but in a photo where the main subject is a building, the edges should be straight. Also, the vertical parallels contradict my individual eye impression. For me, the building seems to be spreading upwards. Sorry. Je-str (talk) 10:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Harlock81 (talk) 16:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I'm not enthusiastic about this way of photographing either, but this building lends itself well to it in my opinion.--Famberhorst (talk) 18:03, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Radomianin (talk) 23:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry, fisheye lenses are not adapted to architecture in my opinion. They completely distort the appearance of the lines and proportions. And in this case the slight curvature sounds like a technical flaw, in my view. Something like File:Palais de Justice de Montbennon, Lausanne.jpg (imagine the perspective fixed) or 2 would be much better. And there are not always people around this monument, apparently. The current crop is really too tight at the bottom, and overall unbalanced. People are cropped at the lower left corner. I understand the difficulty with visitors, but that doesn't make the image better unfortunately. It's relatively an easy subject, you can go again and give another try. I agree with Je-str the sky is nice, however, you can certainly meet different weather conditions there, at various times of the day, and use a rectilinear lens -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 08:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Basile. Fisheye perspective could have purpose for some architecture shots, but in this case it looks easily avoidable and it doesn't look good. I'm missing also some air at the bottom. A shame because quality is nice and sky is amazing. --Fernando (talk) 13:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • For me the difference is that in the case of ‘Earthrise’ the picture was very heavily reproduced in contemporary news media to the extent that the famous version should be featured even if a technically better version exists. ‘Earthrise’ even has a Wikipedia article about it. In the case of this picture, it is a lot less famous and its value is in illustrating the event, not in its iconic status. Just my two cents, Cmao20 (talk) 02:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are right. This picture is less famous than others taken during the Apollo missions. We can propose and promote a version whose colors are more faithful to what an human eye would have seen, but we are not correcting a yellowed photograph. The featured image is the best version of the original picture, released during the Apollo Programm. The new version is a scientifically correct reproduction of what the other one represent. The two pictures are imho two different things, and both valuable. Imho, a {{Retouched picture}} is missing, also. --Harlock81 (talk) 14:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If you want to add the Retouched picture feature to the page, you can do it yourself. I also see no reason why we can make two of the same photo both featured pictures.

Fjerning av utmerket-status

[edit]

Etterhvert hender det at statusen for utmerka bilder endres. Bilder som tidligere var bra nok, vil kanskje ikke lenger bli ansett som det. Her listes bilder som du ikke lenger synes fortjener å være det. Da trengs to tredels majoritet (og minst fem stemmer) som er enig i å fjerne statusen fra bildet. Dersom ikke to tredeler av stemmene er enig i å fjerne statusen, blir den beholdt. Her stemmer man med {{keep}} (behold bildet som utmerka) eller {{delist}} (bildet fortjener ikke lenger å være utmerka). Når du nominerer et bilde her, ta med lenka til den opprinnelige nominasjonen (den finnes under Lenker på bildets beskrivelsesside. Bruk denne lenka for å legge til en fjerningskandidat.

Blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
  •  Support Sorry if I'm wrong, but I think mixing water and air in a single shot is not easy, and rare enough. Thus per COM:FP: "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject." In that case I guess the top of the device might be humid? Still I find the composition captivating and innovating. The image shows us how close the sharks swim to the surface. And it reminds me Jaws (the film). The level of detail of the animals is excellent for an underwater picture -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. The underwater plastic dome, which is wet, distorts the top half of the picture. Of course, many half-and-half photos online are merged images. There may be other half-and-halfs of sharks (or other animals) on Commons, but I've not found any. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Giles' photos and the experiences he presented have now convinced me otherwise. My apologies, Charles. Nevertheless, it is still impressive, and I fully support Famberhorst's recommendation to nominate it at VIC. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 22:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Half underwater photography with unblury top is not hard to do. There are three different ways to achieve it : 1) rubing some special lotion on the dome glass like this product ; 2) keeping the top of the glass dry ; 3) replunging the dome completely in the water and then taking it out again. I would personally not use the first option as I don't think such lotion would be good for the ocean or the animals. But I got very easily many pictures with sharp top only using the technic described with option number 3. Here are some examples taken with a GoPro inside a GDome in 2021 in the Bahamas : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. And I have much more : link. For this picture, if the dome would have been plunged underwater and taken out again a picture with clear top would have been taken. Given how easy it is to take half underwater pictures and given how common and easy black tip reef sharks can be found for tourists I personnally think that this picture is not at FP level and not even at QI level, sorry. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 20:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Sorry, I should have gone to the very shallow water where the pigs were. Would that that sharks were that slow... Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No need for shallow water, you can easily dip back the dome in the water in deep water. Also the pigs were actualy the ones running while blacktip sharks usually swim slowly most of the time. Finally, blacktip sharks are very easily found in shallow water and the fact that the sand is visible in this picture indicates that it was taken in shallow water -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Montbenon courthouse, Lausanne.
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured_pictures/Places/Architecture/Exteriors#Switzerland
  •  Info The Montbenon courthouse was built between 1881 and 1886. This is an experimental composition shown from the side with a subtle fisheye effect, but the building is not actually curved. This type of wide shot allows you to appreciate the effect of the clouds in the sky being swept by strong winds at altitude.

  •  Comment Like here, the cylindrical lines don't work for me, because it makes the appearance weird like deformed. Is it possible to make the perspective rectilinear? I also find the crop tight at the bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Basile and thanks for your comment. In this case the rectilinear projection does not work too, furthermore there would be a tree and a bush hugely depicted on the right side, subjects in the foreground and which would occupy 30% of the composition. Yes, your observations are correct, the bottom is tight, but there is a valid reasonː The compositional photo of the monuments, as a rule and out of politeness towards other people, must be taken if possible without framing them. In this case it was difficult, because there were several dozen people (even close to me) enjoying the last rays of the sun in front of the view of Lake Geneva. For this reason I did not want and could not point the camera downwards. I absolutely had to avoid them also because there are many other disturbing and distracting elements: Trees, bushes, street lamps and the enormous statue of W. Tell, positioned in front of the main entrance of the building. The cylindrical projection, in this particular case, by distancing some parts of the edge subject by gently curving it, has the advantage of enhancing the central part of the building and offering the richness of details with the colors brightened by the golden hour, together with the sky as a co-protagonist backdrop.

  •  Oppose -- It's really a shame about the great sky, but in a photo where the main subject is a building, the edges should be straight. Also, the vertical parallels contradict my individual eye impression. For me, the building seems to be spreading upwards. Sorry. Je-str (talk) 10:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- Radomianin (talk) 23:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry, fisheye lenses are not adapted to architecture in my opinion. They completely distort the appearance of the lines and proportions. And in this case the slight curvature sounds like a technical flaw, in my view. Something like File:Palais de Justice de Montbennon, Lausanne.jpg (imagine the perspective fixed) or 2 would be much better. And there are not always people around this monument, apparently. The current crop is really too tight at the bottom, and overall unbalanced. People are cropped at the lower left corner. I understand the difficulty with visitors, but that doesn't make the image better unfortunately. It's relatively an easy subject, you can go again and give another try. I agree with Je-str the sky is nice, however, you can certainly meet different weather conditions there, at various times of the day, and use a rectilinear lens -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 08:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Basile. Fisheye perspective could have purpose for some architecture shots, but in this case it looks easily avoidable and it doesn't look good. I'm missing also some air at the bottom. A shame because quality is nice and sky is amazing. --Fernando (talk) 13:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • For me the difference is that in the case of ‘Earthrise’ the picture was very heavily reproduced in contemporary news media to the extent that the famous version should be featured even if a technically better version exists. ‘Earthrise’ even has a Wikipedia article about it. In the case of this picture, it is a lot less famous and its value is in illustrating the event, not in its iconic status. Just my two cents, Cmao20 (talk) 02:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are right. This picture is less famous than others taken during the Apollo missions. We can propose and promote a version whose colors are more faithful to what an human eye would have seen, but we are not correcting a yellowed photograph. The featured image is the best version of the original picture, released during the Apollo Programm. The new version is a scientifically correct reproduction of what the other one represent. The two pictures are imho two different things, and both valuable. Imho, a {{Retouched picture}} is missing, also. --Harlock81 (talk) 14:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If you want to add the Retouched picture feature to the page, you can do it yourself. I also see no reason why we can make two of the same photo both featured pictures.
