Ok, uploaded. If you don't like it just revert it. I'd support this one but as an editor I have to stay  Neutral. Good job to "freeze" the cat for two seconds! --Iotatau 12:39, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination The kumbum in Gyantse monastery (Tibet) --Antoinetav 22:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Support Nice. Meets the QI-criteria. --High Contrast 19:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
  • I agree it is a valuable, colorful subject and I thank Antoine for having uploaded many images of her travel to a remote place. But on this page it's about QI criteria and I see these issues: (1) anti-clockwise tilt of about 1.5 degree, (2) major perspective distortion, (3) oversaturation, (4) CA along several high-contrast edges. If the first three are fixed I would tolerate the CA. If Antoine agreed I'd try an update. --Iotatau 20:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Of course no probleme. Do the best for wikipedia Antoinetav 00:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 Neutral Ok, I have uploaded a new version. If you don't like it just revert it. Having changed the image I am now partial otherwise I'd promote the new one. --Iotatau 07:25, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support --Rédacteur Tibet 19:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Question Is the top really leaning so much, or is it still distorted? --Ikar.us 14:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
It's difficult to find vertical references in the image. For my correction I used the window frames of the window at the left and the vertical gaps of the wall in the background. I specified the transformation parameters in the image comment - feel free to try your own parameters. --Iotatau 17:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
P.S. I tried to correct the perspective distortion but the main tower might be affected by barrel distortion. For correcting that Antoine would need to specify her lens. Then the question is if PTLens knows about it. If not it's a trial and error process to find the degree of barrel distortion. Typically standard zoom lenses exhibit a significant amount of barrel distortion at the wide end. On the other hand I wouldn't be too strict in this case. Rectangular shapes don't seem to be a top priority in Tibetan architecture so the image shouldn't mainly be judged by its straightness. --Iotatau 17:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I've made one where the main tower looks less tilted. Don't know if it's better. --Ikar.us 17:43, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

     CommentTilted. Only slightly, but very obvious on the long horizon. --Ikar.us 00:26, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
     Comment Well, I don't agree : houses are straight, and Saint-Malo's surroundings are not flat. Yet I'll be glad to make the correction if you point me the right angle... --Stephanemartin 00:41, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
    The shore line should be flat. And the church tower seems not vertical. However, in the right part there's a perfect horizontal line. I'm not sure any more. --Ikar.us 00:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
    I agree with Ikar - the right third of the picture looks nice and flat, but left of this I see cues (church, verticals in nearby buildings, rooftops left of the headland) that it is tilted CW about 0.5°. Could it be a stitching error? -- Avenue 04:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
    You were probably right. Rotated CCW 0.5°, and it looks better now. As you can see on File:Parame-shore.jpg, the shore is not straight, which could explain the look&feel of the right side. --StephaneMartin 20:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

  •  Comment Nice action shot, quite sharp apart from some acceptable motion blur on the feet. Busy composition, with distracting side edges. It would work better with 100-150 pixels cropped off each side, IMO. -- Avenue 14:15, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

  •  Comment Agree that is too "busy" composition, apart of capturing an interesting movement from a funny angle. For so many things happening in the forground a calmer background would be much better. Particularly the background behind the upper leg is unfortunate.

  •  Comment By "not well framed" I mean the legs of the people in the bottom scene are croped, while on the top of the image one sees some legs only. Crop would help eliminate the bright and irrelevant background but would not solve the framing. --Elekhh 21:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

  • There is no information on the subject in the out-of-focus area beyond the sharp part which is lost due to missing DOF. Aperture is already at f/11, beyond that diffraction starts.

Die Tärfenschiefe wäre auch bei Offenblende (2.8 bei dem Modell) bei der Aufnahmeentfernung rechnerisch mehr als ausreichend. Wenn QI mit leichten Randunschärfen nicht leben kann, kannst du Kompaktkameras einklich komplett rausschmeißen.

    •  Comment Seems ridiculous to me... "good composition" or "messy composition" are opinions, that's OK. But "All sharp" and "unsharp"... Sharpness is a fact, isn't it ? At the end, is this photograph sharp, or unsharp ? "IMO", sharpness is not and cannot be relative, but the process of vote here, is. Good to know and to remember, with modesty for me.--Jebulon 10:13, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Composition in some senses is not an issue. Does it show what it intends to show? would be the question. So an awkward crop would be an issue for example. However I agree with Kallerna that it is not sharp enough (however peoples ideas of what is good sharpness do very). --Herbythyme 10:28, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment For me, sharpness is relative. Relative to resolution. We encourage very high resolutions, especially for printing purposes. A high number of real pixels always gives a better result than the pixelated look of upscaled sharp, but low-res pictures. Therefore, I don't expect a 12 Mpixel image to look totally sharp in 1:1 view. It's enough if the information isn't pure noise or redundance. -- And now I notice that this image has regions where it is really blurred - an atmospheric effect? --Ikar.us 13:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

    • I actually find the composition very effective, lets see what others think. --Herbythyme 19:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support I understood Fred Hsu to have opposed this as he declined it however to me there is a real point to this image. If you want a zoo picture of an orangutang this may not be but if you want an image of animal behaviour in a zoo I would suggest this is a very well caught image. Anyone who has lived with a cat knows how they "ignore" you with their backs turned. To me this image shows that behaviour in a zoo animal and is certainly QI. --Herbythyme 12:22, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment I showed my wife this image. She loved it. Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps I'll support this image if she wakes up tomorrow and still remembers this picture. Fred Hsu 02:11, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
    • Your wife has good taste --Herbythyme 07:38, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
    •  Support OK. Now I support it :) Fred Hsu 03:48, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support Not the animal, but it's behavior is well shown. --Ikar.us 14:51, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Nomination Rhea americana in Zoo Opole (Oppeln) --Pudelek 23:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Opposenfortunate composition: grey subject with grey background behind the head and neck. --Elekhh 23:54, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment for me composition is good - i added to consensual review --Pudelek 11:33, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The composition is really not quite there. The placement of the head in the image does not make it QI for me I'm afraid. --Herbythyme 12:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Yes, that was an unfortunate moment. The bird probably has moved to a better position afterwards... --Ikar.us 19:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  Support Good work--Kuvaly 13:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I don't sharpness at the animal --Carschten 17:00, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment As a portrait, the focus is deliberately placed on the eye, with DOF used to emphasis the eyes and relevant features at the front of the face. - Bilby 22:12, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment I've upped the sharpness a bit - hopefully that will help.- Bilby 00:40, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Sorry, the image is not sharp enough. I can't be sharpened. Fred Hsu 04:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment Again, unlike the version 1 (not v2, the current oversharpened version) of this image by Jebulon, the Meerkat can't be sharpened because the blurriness is caused by something other than focusing. Fred Hsu 20:37, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I like it too. But is it sufficient to promote as QI ? Let's discuss about "qualities"...----Jebulon 18:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Too dark. --kallerna 13:32, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

  •  Support Beautiful, QI for me --Croucrou 12:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Comment I think it is a lovely image. However there is a large part of the foreground water which is not at all sharp, try for some other views. --Herbythyme 14:12, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support I think it is sharp enough considering the nature of the subject - fast moving water and foam. Some of the backwash could be sharper, but I don't see that as the main subject here. --Avenue 15:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support Clouds, fog, mist, mountains, sea, waves, work with grey-green colours. "Chinese spirit", if I might say. That's a good job. I agree with Avenue about sharpness.--Jebulon 16:43, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support Definitely QI to me. Great picture! --Dein Freund der Baum 16:31, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
