Question Shouldn't persons' hair be complete on portraits? Most of these images have the heads cut off. --Plozessor 06:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Comment Cropping the hair at the top is a very common portait style. Of course this is a matter of taste, but IHMO we should not decline images just because they use a common style. --Aristeas 10:59, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I tend to disagree with the "cropping the hair at the top is a very common portait style" statement. I could not find any reference that states that, and just checking a random portrait category like [Category:2011 portrait photographs of men], there are hardly any photos with the hair cropped. --Plozessor 14:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Here are some websites of commercial photographers (almost arbitrary selection) which show that cropping the hair is common with “headshots”:
- We could find many more examples. I am not saying that one should do that, I just want to emphasize that this is a common style. Best, --Aristeas 19:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Depends on how you define "common", but the majority of portraits out there do not have the hair cut off. Anyway, in this particular case, the crop is really disturbing. Might be because that person's dark skin blends with the hair, so the photo gives the impression that the head is cut off. --Plozessor 05:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose There is insufficient categorization and other data. No caption, no "depicts" statement in the structured data, just a category for the event, nothing at all about the person on the photo. O.k., you can probably still find this image with the information from the file name and the description. And even if cutting a part of the hair off may be common style, this crop may impair the usability of the image, at least in my opinion. E.g., I would probably refrain from using this image for a Wikipedia article of the depicted person if I could find a good alternative image without this kind of crop. Sorry. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 11:59, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support. Good image -- Spurzem 13:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support Great portrait. Cutting off the top of the head is done to keep the eys on the upper portion of the frame, which is flattering for most face types. One is of course free to dislike the result, but technically it serves a purpose. --Julesvernex2 19:39, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for your attempt to explain the intention of the crop. However, the downward shift of the eyes by not cutting off some hair would have been tiny in this case. IMO this is obvious from other (commercial) photos of the same person at the same event that can be found on the web. --Robert Flogaus-Faust 00:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't find the difference negligible, particularly if the photographer needs to stick to a 3:2 aspect ratio (often a requirement for this type of images, so they can be quickly added to a pre-formatted publication). Compare it to Getty's Darkwah Sundance image ([1]), for instance. The same 3:2 aspect ratio, but with no chopped off head and placing the eyes on the one-third line. It's also a perfectly fine portrait, but personally I prefer Frank's: a more intimate close-up, better skin tones, no shadow, and it doesn't cost €475 :-). I understand that you have a different preference, that's fine. From a technical perspective, however, I don't see why this image should fail QI (apart perhaps due to the plane of focus, which is not quite on the eyes). --Julesvernex2 09:45, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Well exposed and, given the available lighting, quite well shot. Unfortunately, the focus is on the necklace and the hair, not the eyes. The cropping is a matter of taste, in my opinion it does not contribute to a better image effect in this case. Whether the landscape format is due to any agency specifications or production processes is, in my opinion, irrelevant for commons or QIC. --Smial 12:04, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- Nomination Bridge (Kappenberger Damm) over the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Senden, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany/The shot used the creative technique of intentional camera movement. --XRay 04:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Decline
- Support Good quality.--Agnes Monkelbaan 05:15, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Outstanding. Unfortunately, the purpose of this technology remains a mystery to me. Even with perfect control, I consider them to be incompatible with the criteria for quality images. I don't see any benefit in such a distorted view of this bridge, even when it's intended. --Milseburg 14:06, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
OpposeNeutral Per Milseburg. Piece of art: Yes, QI: No. Also, even if ICM pictures would quality, this might not be a good example (it's tilted, the movement seems irregular). It's burned out and overcontrasted and has nothing to do with natural colors (which is ok for an artwork but not for QI.) --Plozessor 05:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)- Info Two things I can understand (even well): Criticism of the design of a photo, even if it was made with techniques such as ICM, and a certain discomfort with the evaluation. Thanks to those who give their criticism here objectively. I am aware that these pictures are much more difficult to judge and that opinions are likely to differ widely. Our rules have exceptions to the evaluation (e.g. for SVG) and not all criteria can apply to photos taken with ICM. The rules apply to FPC and QIC. Not everyone likes artistic photos, but they should also find a gap. They are an expression of creative photography and thus part of our Wikimedia Commons world. The topic can be discussed in principle, but I see no reason to do so with this image. We must also remember that in addition to creative photographers, we also have those who take realistic pictures and have other Wikimedia projects in mind. --XRay 08:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- @XRay: I'd appreciate a general discussion on the Discussions page about the question: What kind of images QI is about. My personal opinion is that QI should be somehow usable to illustrate Wikipedia. This would, however, rule out this type of pictures which are not useful to illustrate anything except the artistic technology used to create them. But, maybe that would be enough? Would be interesting to hear other opinions on that. --Plozessor 10:12, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't want to offend anyone. To put it bluntly: if our goal here was exclusively Wikipedia, I would say goodbye. I'm passionate about photography and its diversity and possibilities. It's important to me to try things out, to develop. This also includes creative approaches. I also take the more concrete photos that are suitable for Wikipedia. Not every photo is successful. But that's not everything for me. As has already been mentioned here, the Wikipedia-only approach is outdated and we should critically revise the rules for the FPC and QIC. --XRay 11:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, the images here (including QIs) also serve all the other Wikipedia's sister projects. List: Template:Wikipedia's sister projects, so let's put out the notion that images should only be for Wikipedias. Take a look at how wide the WikiProject really is, and how many different sorts of images this requires. Second, even artistic images like ICM can be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles. --W.carter 12:33, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Changing my vote to neutral for now, until we get a consensus whether this type of photo qualifies for QI. Still, @XRay: is the tilt in this picture intentional? --Plozessor 13:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- I also thought about whether it was really tilted or not. It's difficult with this type of picture. The bridge is curved and this can at least create the effect. No tripod is used. --XRay 13:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support The QI rules have been formulated in a time when Commons was mostly a repository for Wikipedia illustrations – functional, tidy, and mostly very mediocre photographs (please don’t take this personally: all of my own photographs are very mediocre and boring, too). Over time Commons has matured to a general archive of free media for many purposes. If we punish creative photography, we turn away exactly our best photographers. So the QI rules certainly need an update. However IMHO we can already assess photos like this one when we follow the idea of a “quality image” idea and interpret the rules in that spirit. For a photo like this one, we may ask: Is the overall technical quality OK? Has the creative technique, here: the intentional camera movement, been selected for a subject for which it is fitting? Has the creative technique been used successfully, i.e. has it enriched the photography to express something or to give an impression which would not have been possible with a “normal” photograph? IMHO the answer is yes in this case. Best, --Aristeas 11:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment What is the content that this image wants to communicate? The image stands out clearly from the others and is therefore certainly interesting. But if such alienation becomes fashionable in the future and all possible motifs are presented in this or a similar way, a separate award should be set up for it. There seems to be more focus on art and creativity than objective quality standards. Certainly this is not what anyone looking for a quality image of this bridge needs. --Milseburg 17:27, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Does every picture have to convey content? And maybe someone is just looking for an abstract representation of the bridge and is happy to find these pictures here too. Who knows? --XRay 08:23, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, at least for me there's no doubt that your picture should be in Commons. The only question is whether it can be a QI, mainly because it's impossible to apply most of the relevant criteria to it. --Plozessor 10:36, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- How do you judge "exposure" for an image that is intentionally overexposed?
- How do you judge "color" for an image that intentionally uses false colors?
- How do you judge "focus" for an image that is out of focus intentionally?
- How do you judge "blur" for an image that is intentionally blurred?
- How do you judge "distortion" for an image that is intentionally distorted?
- --Plozessor 10:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- To be honest, that sounds like a desperate search for a set of rules. I certainly remember such discussions, e.g. for image resolution in wildlife photography. Certainly some things are difficult to name. Is the shot just blurred or is it a design element? We even have categories for both: Intentionally blurred images and Blurred images. --XRay 10:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Exactly, "a set of rules" is required to decide whether something is a QI or not. Obviously the existing "rules" - exposure, color, focus, blur, etc. - are not really suitable for judging artistic images like yours. So we need some criteria: What makes an artistic image an artistic quality image? Do you have suggestions? --Plozessor 14:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support For me this is a kind of photographic quality I would like to see more of --Kritzolina 08:42, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I can't see anything. --Sebring12Hrs 13:15, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support If we want to be objective, given the constraints foreseen for Q.I., the conditions should not exist because they mainly involve overcoming technical aspects. I think there needs to be an overhaul when it comes to creativity. Movement or, more precisely, blur have always been viewed with horror, as one of the mistakes to absolutely avoid. Through blurring we can create fairy-tale atmospheres or give a particular dynamism to the photos and, why not, use the camera as if it were a brush with which to spread colors on a canvas. Photography thus (in my opinion) becomes art. Photos don't just have to be documentation. I believe that xRay has the right to "create" emotions and sensations through photography that go beyond the simple subject photographed. In these cases the objective standards leave room for subjective sensations, so I don't feel like criticizing those who voted negatively, simply because they did not receive sufficient emotions or they were not convinced by the creator's work. --Terragio67 21:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral I have a similar opinion as User:Plozessor. I just cannot understand what the criteria should be for evaluation of the quality of such an image. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 00:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment If you look at other pictures done with that technique, you will soon see the differences. This one has very clear lines that speak of the intent (many don't). The coloring is very interesting, nothing ist just an unclear mushy grey or brown. We can see the bridge and something I would call the idea of the bridge. This is really high quality. --Kritzolina 17:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The picture is quite pretty, but the blurring serves no technical purpose or to emphasise a particular feature of an object. A canal bridge like this is not usually travelling very fast. I don't think QIC is the right place to judge artistic expression. And even if I am of the opinion that a photo can become QI even if the photographer does not slavishly adhere to the usual, customary rules of composition, I do not feel called upon to judge artistic value. Apart from that, a photo of this type should not show any image noise (if blurred, then at least consistently) and no overexposed areas. --Smial 07:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Milseburg. --Augustgeyler 13:13, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Milseburg and Smial. I think QI as it exists is not the place for this image. --Tagooty 09:05, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
