Since this flatscreen I have is one of the few new things I have owned (the new Pentax SLR body and 55mm lens in 1986 was stolen) I have two thoughts -- 1)this image is over exposed and 2)I do not want your old camera via a secondhand purchase.

OpposeLooks under-exposed to me, parts of these clouds should be white. Looking at the histogram, all the tones are clustered in the centre. TimVickers 04:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Can't let say so. As you can see on this other picture of the same series the picture was taken not from a plane but from a mountain in afternoon on the eastern slopes, opposite of the sun position. That means mass of the island makes some shadow and surface of the clouds is not overexposed, giving these visible nuances. For a monotone and mainly white picture, clustered tones is logical and valuable. Exploded histogram is not a QI requirement. --B.navez 16:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Comment Can you tell me where you see this spot? Is it enough reason not to nominate this picture as a quality image? -- Ukuthenga 20:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
While looking for the dust spot, I saw a seam which was not that smooth (I could see a soft line while moving the panorama horizonally) and I saw a seam error which really should be repaired. Dust spot in the green box, soft seam line in yellow box, seam error in the red box. The seam error should be repaired, the dust spot should be also, in my opinion (I am not the only person who can see those, btw) and the blend error is not that big of a deal to me but consideration could be given to repairing it. That is the answer to your first question from what my eyes can see in this image; there are often others who participate here who can find more blending problems and stitching errors. Your second question, it can be voted in to the QI collection without my support. I cannot guarrantee that there are no images in that collection with dust spots. You (or someone else) took a lot of time to make a beautiful seamed image and a little more time with it will take it that much more closely to perfection. So, the answer to your second question is that it is up to you. -- carol (talk) 09:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh gosh, I didn't see that. Something went wrong, clearly. I'll upload another version in a few hours (I'm not on my usual computer with my usual software). Regarding downsampling, I did it to limit the visual effect of noise while staying above the 2MP limit. Maybe I'm just playing with a bias of the QI evaluation criteria and would be happy to discuss that point somewhere else... The honest question would be: is it possible to make a version this picture meet the QI standards, and if not, what is the best way to improve it anyway? --Eusebius 15:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I doubt this would be the case, B.navez. This photo was taken at a Toronto International Film Festival party held by CTVglobemedia. I requested to send a photographer on behalf of Wikinews, and they managed to squeeze us into the crowded photographer's pit. Thus they explicitly wanted us there, and explicitly wanted to take photos. They would have mentioned, had there been any restrictions on photography. Note that this performance was on a red carpet, surrounded by fans on all sides, so it's unlikely that the exact choreography was the same as he would perform in actual concerts. -- Zanimum 14:53, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

So you prefer this version? Personnally I think the shadow pattern in the first version makes it much more interesting. --Ikiwaner 13:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
No, I don't prefer the second one over the first, the colours are less interesting and the overexposure, although less distracting, is simply on the other side of the picture (the main reason for my opposition is the overexposure, not the shadow pattern). --Eusebius 15:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Comment And it's your right to have that opinion. It's a cemetery, so the shadows gives it a surtain mood. The fact that you look to the gravestone which is in focus through two other gravestones makes it a power point and it claims all attention. The only thing that is in focus in this picture is that one gravestone and I like it like this --Massimo Catarinella 14:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Always the same problem with such large buildings : perspective correction makes an improbable vision for it's impossible having a vanishing point for horizontals and none for verticals. Height of the Cathedral seems to be about half of the length, so reduction should be also in the same proportions at the ends, otherwise it's an artificial vision. To make it natural, focal length must be approximatively like human eye's. --B.navez 18:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
I agree with you that perspective correction often gives a strange, unnatural impression of a building, I have also uploaded here some over-corrected images, which I would not do any more now. But in this case I think that the correction is ok and rather weak, for comparison I have uploaded this un-corrected image: File:Pisa Duomo 2.jpg (the difference is that the nominated picture was stitched with Hugin using 2x3 images, downsized at 50 %, for higher sharpness, but the time and position is the same).

Hmmm... recently, there's been a rash of images opposed for b/w. While I agree that for most of them, a color version would have been prefered, making so broad a statement as "removing colour is removing information" is unjustified, IMHO. B/W, if used in the right situations, often adds to the way a photograph works.

Comment I uploaded my version. What do You think about this one. --Lestath 17:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Well, first impression is that there is no such a difference. You've left some perspective, what often makes pictures look more natural. But on the other side I don't like f.e. titlted windows in bottom left corner. I was wondering about perspective some time ago. During that time I was watching high buildings. Suprisingly I got to idea (observation rather), that although pictures of high buildings with corrected perspective looks somtimes strange, the walls are really straight and perpendicular to each other in my eyes. See this picture of mine as example, walls of the building really seems perpendicular. Maybe this bad impression is beacause of diffren field of view of cameras and eyes. One reason to use really straight perspective is that architects are using it. Every render of projected buildings is painted in tha way. On the other side when picture was taken from the bottom of the building, and corrected version looks really strange, one should use the type perspective correction You are proposing. In conclusion, I think we should have care for the buildings looking natural in our pictures. Falling walls are as strange, as overcorrected pictures. Here, in my impression both versions look natural. --Sfu (talk) 18:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The contrast is very strong (dark parts) but it accents the main subject (castle). --Ikiwaner 20:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
With noise I meant compression. As for the accent, I'm not a fan of it, but that's a personal oppinion. --Massimo Catarinella 11:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
I would expect compression artifacts around the needle on the tower. I see a small halo from unsharp masking but no JPG compression artifacts.

Sharpness is good given the high resolution. --Ikiwaner 21:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC) Voting for your own edit is not allowed. Having been involved here off and on for more than three or four months, of course you know that.... -- carol (talk) 12:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
I do not agree with the way you count. Because I correct trivial things like CA or a dust spot I loose my right to vote? That's bullshit and not written in our guidelines. I might as well strike your vote because it has nothing to do with the image. --Ikiwaner 10:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Support Sharpness ok given resolution, and I'm having trouble seeing the dust spot (though I see on the other pic...). Thegreenj 02:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Oppose Send the edit back through. -- carol (talk) 12:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Edit:
Running total: 1 support (excluding the nominator), 1 oppose → More votes? --carol 12:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Suggestion: I suggest that the edits to this image be reverted and if the editor is so inspired, the edit can be reuploaded and entered properly here. The original can be closed as a draw and this farce can be gotten rid of. I am kind of sorry about much of this lately because we ("we" being participants in the QI reviews) have had some really great images and thoughtful reviews here in the past. -- carol 01:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
...so draw will be the best solution... --LC-de 23:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Nomination Angel's Landing, Zion NP, Utah --Tobi 87 21:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Decline
Oppose Very good, interesting composition, high coloured and crispy image, but very strong chromatic aberration, noise and misplaced details --Twdragon 21:30, 23 September 2008
Support - Very nice composition and colours. CA is minimal and can be corrected by cloning -- Alvesgaspar 10:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
great composition, but the rest of violet in the upper part of the tree should be removed --Mbdortmund 18:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Oppose Good composition, but wrong DOF (no details apart from the tree) and disturbing CA. Lycaon 00:16, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Nomination A stone angel at the back of the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine --Ogre 16:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Promotion
Oppose - Not enough DOF. Guérin Nicolas 16:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Support - Seems to me that the low DOF is intentional as it stops the background being too distracting. Possibly there's a bit to much space on the right, but that's not enough reason for me to oppose this one. Mattbuck 16:31, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Support Agree with Mattbuck about the DOF. Composition is great, Quality is ok --Simonizer 16:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Neutral great potential there (in no way boring or low interest), but I think the text would look better with a slightly bigger font and an outline / shadow outline to bring out the letters. Another option could be to use large numerals with the description on image's page. --Ianare18:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OpposeSorry, I don't like the mix of wild/garden and monocots/dicots. It all seems very arbitrary and random. I also have a bit of a problem with the (too) elaborate font. And the species names are not all in italics (that's a must!). Lycaon15:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is FP-material. I would just correct the small tilt (0,4 degrees) and do some additional cropping on the left. --Massimo Catarinella 11:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Info Please don't submit so many pictures as explained above (it takes time to review). Guérin Nicolas 14:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination --B.navez 08:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry but a good portion of the image is overexposed. Dori 22:56, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Support I think it helps the composition as it puts it in context. Dori 22:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
NeutralThe classical sight :-) I think there is too much noise in the sky, but I'm not sure about it. --Eusebius 20:35, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Done Alvesgaspar 19:27, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
QuestionThanks for the review, can you tell me where to look please? --Eusebius 17:32, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
