Oppose Technically very well done and high-quality, but the composition just feels unbalanced to me, with the Schöner Brunnen too dominant compared to the Frauenkirche. I think the problem here stems from having an element which is both large and more off-center than the other main element; balancing visual weight is just like balancing weights on a fulcrum, and heavier objects need to be closer to the center or it won't work. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:48, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While en:WP:FPC is being a bit... inactive (seriously, no point me nominating anything new over there until some of the most recent four images I have up are actually passing), I thought I might bring over the most... interesting of the things I've been doing for the Rossini push over there. Thought this one was going to be a set, to be honest, but then I realised it was one image, cut to pieces. Found evidence of similar images, not cut to pieces; the joins were pretty much perfect, following the contours of the watercolour blobs to literal pixel perfection, and hence, for probably first time in around two centuries, I present the original scene set out when designing these costumes.

Support, but please add information about how many degrees this view is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:36, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done The view angle is 275°, looking to the east in the middle. --Milseburg (talk) 22:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't find the composition compelling. The bottom is cut, and the light unappealing, due to the cylindrical projection. With this kind of picture, I usually feel like hallucinating , because it is so unreal, not fitting to any logic representation of the brain. Perhaps we would see it differently with bird eyes or fish eyes :-) I understand the educational potential of large views with mountains for example, or buildings, to locate them on the same image, but here as a landscape, only sea and cliff, what is the point of such a "psychotropic view" ? Similarly a tree with kilometers-long branches or a house with extraordinary large curved windows would just appear unaesthetic and strange, I think. Now if I make an effort to imagine this place with its corrected dimensions, not only I find it a bit ordinary (nothing special, harsh light), but also difficult (the shapes I try to build intellectually are certainly subjective and very different from the true ones). Probably this montage is a technical work, but I'm sure if this spot was really amazing, then a simple rectilinear projection would have made it much more attractive -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:21, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question Did you scroll though it or looking the totale? --Milseburg (talk) 09:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Both, but the scrolling is reduced in the center -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:21, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really got your "psychotropic" point. Where are distorted lines? Maybe the curved shoreline at the bottom if it wasn't cut. Of course nobody can see 275° in one view. But in full resolution you first see the north part of the cliff, then you turn your head and body while scrolling, and see the the Danisch island Ærø on the other side of the sea, the Cumulonimbus over the horizon, the drift of the former cliff under the water and finally the south part of the cliff. It´s representing my optical impression in synopsis while standing on this geotop and let my eyes wander from north over east to south. --Milseburg (talk) 11:29, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why I find this view psychotropic ? It does not correspond to any visual reality in my brain. Although, it is a landscape, for sure. Then, I wonder : Is my vision altered by some kind of a magic mushroom, or is this landscape really distorted ? Of course, it is distorted by the cylindrical projection, but at first sight things are not obvious. Symmetrical cliffs with rounded beaches certainly exist somewhere on Earth, with real lines and true relief, but this view here is just odd like twisted unfortunately -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:31, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Basile explained it well – Lucas 08:17, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose If I look at this on Google maps I see a perfectly straight stretch of coast. But if I look at the above image and I see a curved bay. This is false, an illusion due to the projection. Really, this kind of extreme wide angle only makes sense in a 360° image viewer tool. And yes, the view from a straight coast, out to a blank sea, in the midday sun, is not really that amazing. I would really, really, encourage Milseburg to take up a different kind of photography in 2019, where you choose a composition by framing something interesting, and seek out interesting light, rather than just swinging the camera around in an arc. -- Colin (talk) 12:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see it different. I expected it would be a challenge to support this kind of image. I have no problem if anybody is unable to share my ardor for making it like this. --Milseburg (talk) 23:38, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes it is really difficult. There are a lot of disturbing elements around the gate. It's not a street lamp, it's the lightning of the gate from the other side. The crop at the left: I used 20 mm focal length, may be other with a fish eye lens. Then you can see the pharmacy on the left, but not the tree. And on the right, you may see a disturbing street sign and another building. --XRay ^talk 07:18, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Disturbing elements" are never a good start for a great picture... Now paying more attention to this lightning, it is facing us straight, sending its strong rays in front. That's maybe why it's so embarrassing. And its reflection on the ground is even more agressive, interfering with the rear lights of the car -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:58, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support. I like the subtlety of the composition and lighting. The lakes provide a meandering leading line, inviting the viewer to linger on the picture and notice details like the two rock trails leading into the center as well.

Weak Support despite noise and some blown-out areas, since a longer exposure or HDR would not have been possible. One thing that could have made it better: underexpose it at ISO 100 and bring it back up in post, since Sony sensors are ISO-invariant. Shooting at ISO 1000 is essentially throwing away highlights without any reduction in noise (compared to push-processing). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:40, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support per King. Daniel Case (talk) 17:11, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@ King and all who says "per King": in fact, the remaining light was really very weak. The picture as it is, is already resulting from maximal possible DR increase in Lightroom. --A.Savin 01:17, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I have no complaints about the noise as you did what you had to do, you shot this on a full-frame sensor at max aperture and perhaps the slowest shutter speed that freezes the ship. But there is room for improvement in the highlights; I would have given a full support if it were shot at ISO 100 and processed properly in Lightroom. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:47, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing my point -- if I had taken it with ISO-100, the picture would have been irrevocably underexposed. Sony does excellent job under bad light conditions, but cannot do magic either. Somewhere there is always the end of the line --A.Savin 10:47, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see you did shadows +100, but exposure is only +0.66. With ISO 100 you would just do exposure +4.00. With highlights at -50 there's room to recover any overbrightened sections. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:00, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Is the temple on the right really diagonal compared to the buildings on the left, or is that the product of some weird, unpleasant perspective? I'm thinking that the buildings should all be aligned in the direction of their depth, but please let me know. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very standard perspective. You can compare with that image from Google. Here is a 21 mm focal length, almost the same than this shot at 24 mm, only the angle was different. Not sure the several buildings are perfectly parallel to each other, but they could also, logically a building located more on the left would have shown its right side. The only transformations made from my RAW file were a rotation of 2,9° to level the horizon, and 18% vertical adjustment to fix the vertical lines. From this point my camera is facing the white building, while looking aside the big one, then I don't understand why these buildings should "all be aligned", this is a normal perspective projection, not isometric -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:01, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Too many issues. 1. Wrong lighting direction or wrong a point of view. 2. The nose of your boat spoiled the composition. 3. Strong chromatic aberration. 4. Vignetting. I'm sorry my friend and i hope that my review will be useful for the subsequent success in the works. Very friendly -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 11:29, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice idea but the main problem is the CA and your boat, also I added a cut version note --Photographer 16:32, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@George Chernilevsky, Colin, and The Photographer: Seeing the tip of my own boat was an attempt to "trasnport" the viewer into the scene (still, I have cropped it as you suggested). My intention in the picture was not to exposure properly the 2 girls pulling the mokoros, as I wanted to lead the eye to the front, to remark the hugness of the Okavango Delta. To stress that and lead the eye there I've crop also a chunk on the left. I also fixed the CA. Poc o² 19:27, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine if the mountaintops had the reddish hue of the last rays of the sun (because in such cases light has softened and valleys are unavoidably in shadow), but here it's just low-angle winter light, pleasant like golden-hour light but not enough to compensate for the dull foreground. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:50, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I feel like this should be a "delist and replace" nomination. We can't have too many FPs that are so similar, and I feel like this one (by the same author) for instance should be measured against this current nom. They can't both be FP in my view - they're too similar.--Peulle (talk) 08:07, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those two are very different to my eyes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is an argument to delist, but take care: there are many variations of this species. This image, for instance, shows a specimen with no spots on the rear wing underside. Charles (talk) 11:09, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think we should have too many FPs of similar objects such as species variants. I mean, where do we draw the line on similar FPs of a good panorama view? Just take a few steps to the left and so the position is different? Is it enough of a difference for the same butterfly to sit on different flowers, or be in a different light? The lines may be blurred but for me, this is too close. I am going to Oppose this vote as we already have a good existing FP (several, in fact). I might support a nomination to replace that one, but we should not ignore the existence of current FPs and simply promote new ones on top of the existing ones. --Peulle (talk) 11:35, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment First, the both pictures of me have complete different compositions. Second, they are not the same butterflies and look very different. Third, this here is a male and the other one is a female. How often are supported very similar compositions of one species from the same photographer especially when they have a different sex (or genter)?

Neutral Overexposed, especially at the left. I feel like for reproductions of historical drawings, it's fine if it's a completely white textureless background, but if it's highly textured then we should judge the reproduction according to photographic standards.

Oppose The floor looks dirty and the lanterns are cut. Creative view but doesn't work unfortunately -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:16, 30 January 2019 (UTC) That would be okay with an immaculate floor like this or this, but here with 50% of the composition being reflection, as a feature surface it gives the feeling to have the nose in the dust (at least in my view) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:11, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For me it's like a wildlife shot where the background is quite busy in reality but it's OK because it's so out of focus, except here the OOF element is in front rather than in the background. Here the ground is so close that, as far as the dust is concerned, it's practically like someone took a Sharpie to the front element of the lens (which has a surprisingly minimal effect on image quality). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:19, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support The lattern crop is unfortunate, but this is such a great idea. Love that the reflections are in focus despite the entirely out-of-focus floor because of how optics work; it seems so obvious once you see it and yet rarely has this been done before at FPC. You can't expect a floor to be spotless; it's already impressive that it's clean enough to produce such a clear reflection. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:39, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I normally don't shoot portraits, this I why I generally don't bother about them. But this one looks slightly underexposed and I think brightening the background could help to get more contrast towards the person. --Basotxerri (talk) 19:56, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info All by me. I like that the picture shows quite a decent swamp on the top of a mountain (alright, the real top is in the background). Also, it was really windy that day that I had troubles to stand straight - that's why you can see waves formed on a water level.

Support Though this isn't a "swamp". It's a peat bog. After the nomination closes, could you rename the file. The category should be Category:Bogs in the United Kingdom. The Category:Swamps in the United Kingdom could be deleted. -- Colin (talk) 09:12, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin Hum, now I understand why my Scottish friends were smiling when I said "It's really swampy here". I should have said "boggy"! I guess it's almost as big faux pas as to talk about "lakes" in Scotland instead of "lochs". Anyway, thanks for the vote, I'll rename the file after the nomination's over. --Podzemnik (talk) 09:33, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not that this is really germane to the image, but—the difference is more (moor?

) than just a word. A swamp and a bog are different things: the former is basically a drowned forest, which, I grant, this image isn't of, and although nothing in the image or its description says this for certain based on where it is I will agree that it probably is a bog.

But did we really need to delete Category:Swamps in the United Kingdom? I would agree there probably aren't a lot, and I don't see swamps in the images I've perused so far in Category:Wetlands of the United Kingdom, but I don't think that means there are no swamps in the UK, period? From what I've read there used to be more and most of them were drained and filled to create farmland ... but surely some small patches of wet woodlands exist somewhere? Daniel Case (talk) 21:48, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case I deleted "Swamps in the United Kingdom" because I created the category especially for this picture. There were no other pictures than this one and after I had moved it to "Bogs in the United Kingdom", there was no image left. --Podzemnik (

talk) 06:23, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Podzemnik: OK; I didn't realize that we had not had that category prior to this. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't recreate it if someone actually does take some pictures of British swamps. Daniel Case (talk) 06:27, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

Info This is a levels- and gamma-adjusted version which looks a bit more contrasty; if it's the winner, I'll move it over the original. grendel|khan 19:37, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This version is slightly overprocessed. In any case, the light was not optimum, then you'll never get it perfect. What makes the picture great is really the face itself, that speaks very well to humans . So, to improve your light, I think you should consider an intermediate process between this alternative and the first one above. Overlaying these 2 layers on Photoshop with 50% transparency gives quite a good result (or compromise) -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:03, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Milseburg I could have done 360 panorama but 1) I'm not really sure how to handle the light while shooting 360 and 2) I'm not a big fan of 360 panoramas. That's a bit too much for me. To me, ideal format of panorama is something like this. My nomination here is barely 180, more likely around 120 degrees panorama. Yes, conditions that day were perfect.

It is usually best to photograph people from the same height as they are: here we are looking down and the forehead and hair dominate. The background is a bit distracting.

Comment We already have Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Leopardo (Panthera pardus) devorando un antílope, parque nacional Kruger, Sudáfrica, 2018-07-26, DD 07.jpg taken four minutes later. -- Colin (talk) 09:58, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Colin, for pointing that out. It was my mistake not to mention that myself. Still, I wonder whether the fact that between both images where taken 4 minutes after each other is a reason not to consider it a valid nom. The motif is of course the same, but I was there over one hour and this nom reflects the special moment when the leopard with bloody snout was looking towards me. Also the crop is much tigther and the position of the kill is pretty different. In fact, I like this image much more than the other one. --Poc o² 21:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Poco, almost all us reviewers are also photographers. We know that on a shoot we take lots of photos. And some have this special quality and some have that special quality and it can sometimes be hard to guess which one is the best. But this isn't QI and finest is finest. Many reviewers and nominators do actually take the time to look at the FP category, the image categories, and compare with other images already uploaded and already awarded. As we've discussed before, you require more review comments to achieve a gold star than any other photographer here, by some distance. Simply because you expect us to filter out the "meh" and "done already". Multiple times you have nominated photos from the same shoot without mention or apparent embarassment. We could spend all day trying to work out if one image's qualities (looking towards you, but clearly disturbed by the photographer) are better than another image's qualities (eating the kill, apparently undisturbed). The point of "finest" is to pick one. And, with the images from a shoot, that's your job as nominator.

This year you have nominated 13 images, only 6 pass, 5 withdrawn, and received over 120 review comments and votes by other people. But in turn, you have reviewed only 6 images for other people, in one 15 minute interval. You are expecting us all to take greater care to review your photos than you spend yourself on your own photos, never mind the miniscule effort you spend on others' photos. Most other Commons-experienced photographers here have very high pass rates, some are 100%. If you aren't willing to help select "the finest on Commons" by revewing your own photos better, and doing your share to review others' photos, then why should we waste our time with your careless nominations. -- Colin (talk) 08:17, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Beautiful, and certainly far superior to the existing FP in its category, File:Chateau de Chenonceau 2008E.jpg, which has severe posterization and should be nominated for de-listing. But I would love it if you could get the top of the chateau (by the way, the English word for this building) to be sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:58, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Overcooked and harsh light. I don't think the hard sun here has benefited from increased local contrast and strong sharpening. Btw, I think also there may be a camera shake or mirror slap issue as there is a double line round some high contrast edges (see the dark edge of the largest arch, and some of the birds, and the edge of some other dark shadows). This may be the cause of Ikan's complaint, which won't be helped by further sharpening. I think it would look better if not so strongly processed (at preview/browser size it just screams "Clarity" to me). See File:Schloss Chenonceau.JPG for a QI with softer light and more natural processing. -- Colin (talk) 13:00, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose A shot I don't think any of us could have resisted the opportunity to take, particularly given the delightfully impressionistic reflection, and I think it could have worked even given the light, but when you look closely, especially at the left side of the castle, you see everything Colin saw.

King of Hearts, thanks for your comment. Imho all shadows direct to the main motive - even the shadow of the climbing frame for childs at the very right. I tried to integrate the inevitable shadows into the composition to help the motive. For an overview about the scenery, see File:Strandpaviljoen-Paal-10-Ouddorp.jpg --Tuxyso (talk) 19:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I understand that you didn't just randomly leave a shadow without noticing - however, to the extent that it contributes to the composition, the leading lines lead to the pole on the right with nothing to bring us back to the main subject IMO. As a whole, I would say the image converges on a point which is too far to the right. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:04, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Nice picture, but in view of yesterday's discussion, I feel impelled to ask you whether you downsampled the picture and whether you'd offer a full-size picture as the nominated one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The rubbish bins are very unfortunate and central, and the shadow distracting. Although the light is nice, the subject itself isn't amazing enough to me for wow at FP. I prefer the File:Strandpaviljoen-Paal-10-Ouddorp.jpg view (though at FP I'd be expecting a stitched panorama rather than a heavy crop). I also note that "Please comment on the photo or leave." is extremely rude. Ikan was commenting on the photo which is quite low resolution for a landscape image. As a forum for selecting "the finest" images on Commons, the photo, the nomination itself and other review comments are all open for discussion. FP Commons:Image guidelines ask that images are not downsampled, and since this photo is only 75% of the size of the camera's resolution, that is a fair question to ask. Better technique would have rewarded us with a 24MP image rather than a 14MP image, if this is merely a 2:3 crop. Tuxyso, I think you are grumpy at being called out for pixel peeping, and should also naturally expect that if you do pixel peep review, then other reviewers will not accept any hint of downsizing from your own nominations. -- Colin (talk) 09:30, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for your comment. For the case you've not noticed: a) Ikan and I are fine again after some clarifications. b) I have never asked for downscaling as I have also clarified --Tuxyso (talk) 10:50, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your "clarifications" are nothing of the sort, just political games. Note Ikan's comment above about your sharp tone, which doesn't sound "fine again" at all. I'm not interested in folk who just play games with words to try to excuse themselves when they have done something bad. Pixel peeping reviews are bad. Being rude to reviewers who enquire about downsizing is bad. Unwatching. -- Colin (talk) 12:32, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Impressive motive, but imho WB is completely off (strong orange/yellow cast) and overall images looks overexposed. Did you use HDR? It seems that your colors do not represent the lightning situation as it is in the hall, see for example File:C19 interior 070.jpg / File:C19_interior_037.jpg: In reality the upper part of the hall seems to be not illuminated as the lower part. Additionaly there are remarkable CAs at the weapon on the floor and on the outer window positons - did you use a extreme shift position of your lens? Normally the TS-E17mm should perform better. --Tuxyso (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Certainly an interesting hall, but the render of this photo looks totally artificial. Overprocessed, with absolutely no shadow, and yes also overexposed. Strange appearance IMO, and technical issues -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:55, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is still not convincing to me, because I find the bushes distracting. For this kind of picture where everything is in the shapes (dark silhouettes only, no colors, no volumes, no textures), you need a very striking composition IMO, otherwise it's not exceptional enough as FPs should be -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment perfect composition, great symmetry. but IMHO the depth of field is too shallow here - farer candle and cross are unsharp. Probalby a better result had been possible by adjusting the parameters focal length, distance to altar, larger f-value, different focus point. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:11, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per most of Tuxyso's remarks. I don't find the DoF too shallow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think DoF is an artistic choice here; you can make everything in focus at f/22 (or by focus stacking), or let the background naturally fade out to make the altar pop. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:54, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@XRay So it's a stone with holy water? I think it'd be good to write it in the description of the file. At least to me, it's quite unusual to see such a big holy water fountain in the middle of the church. Anyway, it's a totally well done picture with a great wow factor so big

Support from me. --Podzemnik (talk) 15:16, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a stoup or a baptismal font, hopefully the correct translation. I'll ask and append it to the description. --XRay ^talk 15:29, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BTW: I also know of walk-in baptisteries / fonts, see for example: File:Maria-Magdalena-Kirche-Wattenscheid-Taufstelle.jpg. During the christening the priest walks together with the child being christened inside the font. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The church was built from 1936 to 1938 and partially destroyed during the World War II. The chapel wasn't rebuild. The original baptismal font (of the chapel) is located at the end of the church near the crypt. The stoup is located at the door, but unused. So I'm not sure, baptismal font or stoup. But I'm living in Dülmen. It's no problem to get an answer. --XRay ^talk 17:45, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Basile, with the addition that it's great to have non-Western modern art, too. Daniel Case (talk) 18:11, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question - If you didn't know where the painter was from, would you be able to tell that it was "non-Western"? Isn't this just international-style abstract art of the 1960s that happens to have been painted by an Iranian man? I happen to dislike this piece, but I note that it was painted in 1969, so since it's still highly regarded by the art establishment 50 years later (boy does that reckoning make me feel old, as I actually remember seeing art shows in Soho in 1969, when I was 4), I feel conflicted about the thought of voting against a feature on the basis that the art says nothing to me.

Oppose With studio shots of cameras, there can be a pretty fine line between QI and FP. But if you compare this to File:Sony A77 II.jpg, some differences emerge: 1) the Sony is lit in a way that makes it look dramatic, while the current picture has flat lighting; 2) f/13 was used on the Sony vs. f/8 here, resulting in more depth of field, and for me the shutter release here is not acceptably in focus; 3) the Sony has a higher level of contrast and "pop." -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:47, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but why should be this image "dramatic"? Wikipedia is a project to build an encyplopedia and not a taboild. As can seen here Commons:Featured_pictures/Objects#Optical_devices most of the FP are not dramatic. A lack of contrast or focus I can't locate. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with the depth of the field that make some prominent areas are out of focus, poor lighting that generates little contrast, the camera is dirty. In a perfectly controlled environment, as this is the case, one expects to see better image quality --Photographer 01:00, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Poor lightning though all is lightend well? A few dustspots you call the camera is dirty? Very joky. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:57, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per others, particularly the drab grey background, shallow DOF and all the dirt. You could have wiped the camera clean and blown off remaining dust (or remove it digitally). You could have performed a focus stack to get all relevant areas of the subject in focus and not blurry. You could have controlled the background better using extra light and/or a translucent surface and/or post-processing. A clean white background makes it also more suitable for use in articles, see this example: File:2017 Nikon D5500.jpg. The pure encyclopedic value gets more consideration at the Wikipedia FP candidates, here at Commons FPC we tend to focus more on photographic merit. As a last note, the file name is a bit too generic for my taste, at least the lens should have been mentioned. – Lucas 10:33, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It is close up and detailed. Possibly over-sharpened and contrasty. Not sure the colour temperature is right as it looks a bit too yellow/golden for midday. I don't think this is a particularly flattering photo of a meerkat who is a messy and has some eye gunk. The head direction, telephoto lens and dof all mean we lose any depth information about the face, which is certainly not flat. I'm also not getting a sense of character from the portrait, which is often present in meerkats (whether real or imaginary in our eye). Meerkats are an easy shot in zoos, so I think we should expect a great portrait. -- Colin (talk) 20:15, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Very good photo of the meerkat, but I find the level of contrast with the background insufficient for it to be a great photo. Sadly, since at least yesterday (2 days ago, I think), Commons searches for FPs, QIs or VIs have stopped working again, so I can't easily find other FPs of meerkats, but nevertheless, this is my view. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:17, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Philippe Chaperon - restored, uploaded, and nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Info (Since I'm aware that it will be mentioned otherwise:) With en:Template:CSS image crop and its local variants, I don't see any need to crop out parts of an image presentation. That's a hand-painted brown and gold border that was created by the artist, so why remove it? (And it'll give something to crop out if trying to print it:5x4.4 is hardly a common aspect ratio, but you can get it to a few sensible ratios if you have a border to crop.) Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind offering a crop version as an alternative? --Yann (talk) 19:57, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer not to. The main image is not absolutely rectangular in shape, so either a small amount of the edge of the painting would need cropped out, or I'd have to restore outwards the edge of the painting, when, as I said, there's a perfectly good way to make arbitrary crops for thumbnails. And I really don't like changing artistic intent for relatively capricious reasons. Plus, it would be inconsistent with File:Set design by Philippe Chaperon for Act4 sc2 of Aida by Verdi 1880 Paris.jpg, and other future potential images. And it's not like Chaperon does this with every image he makes; it's actually relatively rare, and may indicate something specific, like them being intended for display (the ones they're done on tend to be particularly visually impressive). Oh, and I literally spent 16 hours restoring that fucking border. If I didn't feel strongly about it before - well, I wouldn't have done it in the first place, but afterwards...

In any case, we're not just a place to make thumbnails for Wikipedia (Hell, a number of our featured images here are not and will not ever be used on any Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikiversity, or any other related project). It would be silly to create a situation where a number of possible reuses are made more difficult because we concealed the one most useful for printing. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:14, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, we can literally just do this with CSS image crop and some surprisingly annoying maths:

{{CSS image crop |Image=Philippe Chaperon - Meyerbeer - Les Huguenots Act I (1896).jpg |bSize= 466|cWidth=370 |cHeight=311 |oTop= 51|oLeft= 47}}

...I am thinking of doing a template to take the equations - which are slightly complex. For example, for a crop of this image, with width X, here's the values you need bSize = X*5084/4035 | cWidth=X | cHeight=X* 3388/4035 | oTop= X*551/4035| oLeft=X*508/4035 - It feels like we can simplify the CSS crop interface by using numbers auto-generated by crop tool (which I used to figure out what numbers to use to form those equations) and plugging them in instead. They're much more readily available. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:09, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Colin! I'm using only a bit of dehaze (+5) and clarity (+5) for the whole picture. I think the bottom right looks too contrasty because it's a north facing slope without much light.

Oppose Imho the quality of the image does not reach FP bar. The right and left edges are very unsharp (neither the closer nor the farer parts are sharp) - with a multi-image shot this can be easily avoided. Especially the darker parts of the image look imho noisy and partly overprocessed - I guess too much clarity and too much shadow brightening. It looks if the focus is on the foreground (the stony path in the foreground) with the result that the background could be sharper. Motive, composition and light have FP potential, but imho not the technical execution --Tuxyso (talk) 18:26, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Tuxyso, I agree at pixel level it is soft in places and some of the processing has perhaps contributed to noise. However it is 105MP so if I reduce it 50% you get this 24MP image, which is very sharp, with no noise. So I wonder if the 24MP image had been nominated, would you have opposed? -- Colin (talk) 20:57, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's an everlasting discussion... I have to assess the image which is nominated here. The nominee has some technical issues which are avoidable - no unattainable requirements - especillay the sharpness at the very left and very right side and the the editing of darker parts. My very personal opinion: An FP should be a pleasure to view in a scaled version and also in full res version. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:31, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you the funds to buy a high DPI monitor so that "full res" has pixels too small for you to peep. Your vote is nothing less than a request to downsize and an insult to those generous enough to donate images full size. This image is 5.3 metres across when viewed "full res" on a standard monitor. The nomination is for a JPG in the repository, not a specific-sized rendering in your browser. Commons is not a publisher. How you choose to view the image is your choice, though made somewhat awkward by the MediaWiki interface. If you choose to view magnified so large it doesn't fit in your room, and view it from 50cm, then the flaws you see are purely down to your bad viewing choices. This kind of vote is harmful to the project. Please consider that while you may choose to downsize your images so they look pixel-perfect at 100%, others do not and should not be punished for that. -- Colin (talk) 23:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have been absent from COM a few years and must observe that the verbal tonality in discussions changed negatively. In the past the discussions here were very constructive and also valueing. In the current disussion I made an argument with in-detail explanatory statement and Colin repeatedly shortens it to: "Looks bad in 100%, please downscale". Again, and also for [[Ikan Kekek: I do NOT postulate to downscale the image to look better. I only argue that the technical issues which could be avoided by a better shooting technique (more precise focus point, more overapping especially at the edges) and a better post-processing. Please sustain also a deviating (my very own) opinion. There is not only one truth. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:14, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a reasonable point of view and thank you for clarifying. Note that I haven't voted on this nomination, but have only made some comments above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:10, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tuxyso, the fact remains that if this image had been downsized and uploaded at 24 or 36MP you would not have noticed any sharpness or noise issues. You may have complained about other processing issues, but not those. So, some of your oppose rationale is only present because you are pixel peeping a gigantic 105MP image. You insist that "I have to assess the image which is nominated here" but the image that is nominated here can be viewed by you at any resolution you wish. Just because it is uploaded at 105MP does not mean you have to view it or review it at that size. That is your choice, and one I think that is unfair on the nominator. You also insist it must be "a pleasure...in full res version". So, while you can claim you haven't requested it be downsized, your vote is an implicit message that nominators will be punished with an oppose if they dare to nominate any image that is not perfect at 100%. The consequence of pixel peeping is that some nominators downsize to avoid these kinds of votes. And so we end up getting 6MP natural landscape images at FPC in 2019 when we should be getting 24MP+ images. Commons is poorer as a result.

I feel strongly that pixel peeping reviews harm Commons FP. See User:Colin/PixelPeeping where I noted "a 24MP image is not twice as bad as a 6MP image. It is superior in every way, except to a pixel peeper.". Sure, with better technique and better equipment and better processing, we might have a super sharp and noiseless 105MP image. But we do also have a this image that is the same one nominated here, just rendered in your browser at 24MP. That is the nominated image too, but you choose to find fault when you choose to view it magnified 2x on your monitor. -- Colin (talk) 09:09, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Alfred Stieglitz (scan by Google Art Project), uploaded by DcoetzeeBot, nominated by Yann (talk) 11:33, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support It has been hailed as one of the greatest photographs of all time because it captures in a single image both a formative document of its time and one of the first works of artistic modernism. cf. Wikipedia. -- Yann (talk) 11:33, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would eventually propose File:The Steerage MET DP232922, grayscale.jpg as an alternative: smaller, but less noise. Yann (talk) 11:33, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You're the nominator, so which one do you prefer? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:16, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I prefer the grayscale version, but I know some people will object. Ultimately, I don't care which one is featured. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm finding the sepia version below better. But which was original? Did he originally print it in sepia tones or grayscale? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:34, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I take it, no-one has an answer for this question? Then how are we supposed to vote, and what criteria are you all using to decide which one to vote for? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:11, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: This was recorded as a black and white negative. That's why I prefer a grayscale version. Beside, the color versions vary with time, so we can't really know which tone was the original print in 1907. Regards, Yann (talk) 03:33, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Though I do think the sepia version is better, maybe it would be more faithful to the original to do a black & white version of that file... Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:35, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't think this is the best version, and File:The Steerage MET DP232922, grayscale.jpg is easily the worst (bad crop, contrast boosted causing crushed blacks). I think File:Alfred Stieglitz - The Steerage - Google Art Project, from Getty.jpg is best -- there is significantly more detail in the dark jackets and the crop is straighter. -- Colin (talk) 12:47, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Case the left, bottom and right edges are all straight in this one; only the top is curved. The other image has more tilts, though the top is more symmetrically curved. I suspect they come from different prints. I would be opposed to "fixing" this -- it's a faithful scan by professionals.

Comment - Very nice composition and light. I will support when you fix the dust spots. I see one somewhat to the right of and below the upper left corner. There are three more above the trees toward the right, but those could be unsharp birds, and if so and you therefore want to keep them, that's OK with me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:52, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't find it unsharp. The landscape is very impressive and I really enjoyed exploring the panorama, including the village close to the mountain in the center. However, I think the panorama is tilted. The right side is lower than the left side and the telecommunication tower on the hill on the right side is leaning right. So I think it needs ACW rotation. Could you have a look at that? Maybe it's just a coincidence. --Podzemnik (talk) 11:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I won't assess the other picture mentioned above and I won't let me play off against others. The other picture has a different composition.

Support - I already liked the photo and considered the motion blur appropriate, but I'm more impressed, considering that it beats its wings 45x a second. Technical question, though: Why wouldn't you use a shorter exposure than 1/1,600 of a second? Granted that I was only using an Android and mostly photographing butterflies that had alighted for a fraction of a second or more, but I was having much better luck last summer in getting sharp pictures of butterflies with rapidly beating wings when I shortened my exposure to 1/4,090 of a second. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:27, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm already at maximum aperture (F5.6) and would have gone to 1/2000 and ISO 800 if I had time. I find that although sharpness would be better at 1/4000, overall quality (for print or FP pixel-peeping) really deteriorates above ISO 800. With this sort of photography I use a preset of 1/1600 or 1/2000 sec. If I leave it up to the camera's brain (SCN Sports), it can get confused: if it sees the insect's body as pretty still it reduces shutter speed. If it sees the wings it might select 1/8000 and a very high ISO. On my Canon 80D I have two presets (C1 and C2). I program one at 1/1600 (TV = shutter priority: S on Nikon I think) and one at 1/2000. I then get better depth of field if the light happens to be really good. Not this time. Charles (talk) 11:08, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I agree. I considered opposing, as I don't see a great composition, but the composition is not bad, helped by the wooden spikes, and as you say, the photo is technically very good, so I don't see the point in standing in the way of consensus on this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:40, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I see this as the latest of King's series of skylines of the Northeastern United States. I think this view is even better now, and I've been thinking myself of taking the train down to Hoboken and shooting that view. From the promenades between the station and the development a really amazing view is possible that takes in both Newport, which looks really cool with newer buildings like the Ellipse going up, and the Lower Manhattan skyline with the new 1 WTC. With a little of the trees along the promenade on the lower right, and those old bollards. It's one of a slowly increasing number of places in and around New York which almost make you think you're in China.

Abstain Feature picture candidates of architecture should come with an informative description. This photo has been taken in an abbey church with a long and complex building history. When was this vault constructed, were there any reconstruction/refurbishment works executed in the 19th century or later? Is this the crossing vault? How is this picture oriented? @Colin: Many of the Gothic vaults of medieval monasteries were not designed with “wow” in mind, this would have been distracting. --AFBorchert (talk) 17:22, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- AFBorchert I agree the architects did not have FPC in mind. Scottish Presbyterian churches are rather plain too when compared with those in other countries. In the end we are here to judge an image for wow and if the subject lacks wow then it is hard overcome that. National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson once said "If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff". Of course, pictures such as this are still valuable to Commons. -- Colin (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - My understanding is that the vaults in Gothic cathedrals were indeed intended to awe, as they represented the vault of the Heavens, and the stained glass windows, aside from telling sacred stories, were meant to filter colored light into the cathedrals like Heavenly jewels. In addition, with their tall ceilings and towers, Gothic cathedrals were commonly visible for miles as pilgrims walked to church. So I would definitely disagree that they were not designed with "wow" in mind. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:53, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: This is not a cathedral but an abbey church where visitors in medieval time came not even close to the crossing as they had to stay behind the rood screen. Instead, this belongs to a very intimate place where monks went down the stairs from the dormitory at the middle of the night, walked through the south transept and the crossing, turning to the choir to hold a candlelit vigil in the stalls.

@Colin: As you well know, “wow” is nowhere mentioned in the nominating guidelines of COM:FPC. Instead the guidlines tell that candidates “should be in some way special”. Gothic architecture including that of austere abbey churches is “interesting stuff” even if it is not overwhelming with eye candy. One might wonder if a particular photograph is good at catching the atmosphere and the architecture of an object like this. For example, I would prefer a shot like this one from the ambulatory of the same church if it would be of the same quality. Gothic architecture comes always with lights and shadows which continually change the shapes during the course of a day. In this FP candidate, however, we see just the vault which is illuminated quite uniformely with polychromatic light (probably coming from stained glass). This is not the fault of the photographer and the photo is unquestionable valuable but in my opinion this kind of light spoils the solemnity of the vault. So, in this case I would not support FP status but surely not for having no “wow”. --AFBorchert (talk) 00:12, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:00, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AFBorchert, the Commons:Image guidelines which the nomination page links to as "Please read the complete guidelines before nominating", does mention "wow", twice. Indeed, "wow factor" is the only quality-related differentiating factor it mentions vs QI, though the nomination page also says FP is to determine images to be "highlighted as some of the finest on Commons", which indicates an exclusive top spot that QI doesn't aim for either. Photographically, this image is unoriginal and a very common approach to capturing such a ceiling. I've done that myself (File:Paisley Abbey Ceiling.jpg) but that ceiling is far more interesting to look at. One problem with this view is that can be very hard to judge depth, leaving the result looking like a pattern but less clear form. The other photo you link has much better light, and it is easy to see the form of the ceiling. A photographer could take a less wow ceiling but capture it with great light and/or a great viewpoint and composition, and produce an FP. Perhaps my original "this can't be" is too strong: it is just much harder to achieve. If one starts with a fantastic ceiling, then one almost only has to make sure the camera is dead centre, pointing straight up and sufficient DoF. Or to put it another way, someone has to create "wow": either the stonemasons or the photographer. -- Colin (talk) 09:47, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, Colin, I missed the “wow” in Commons:Image guidelines. But I still think that this term is unfortunate as the term strengthens the short-term effect of the eye-candyness factor too far to my taste. Otherwise, I agree that depth is a problem for this candidate. --AFBorchert (talk) 15:26, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose in its current form: there's quite a bit of barrel distortion going on. It's pretty normal for the ridge of an old roof to sag, but this one is doing the opposite. Other pictures in Category:Château de Montal suggest that both roofs' ridges are indeed pretty much straight. Also, I don't really dig the composition. With the trees blocking the lower part of the walls, I can't find much to hold on to. --El Grafo (talk) 09:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you mention it, I do see the curviness of the roof, as compared to photos like File:Le château de Montal.jpg and File:Domaine de Montal.jpg.

Oppose I like this but I vote against because of technical issues: noisy, oversharpened, hot pixels, perspective. f/16 is not a good option on Micro Four Thirds. --Basotxerri (talk) 18:02, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Basotxerri, I'm guessing they used f/16 to maximise the exposure time, probably in combination with an ND filter. -- Colin (talk) 19:14, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Colin, I know that f/16 probably was chosen for maximising the exposure time but you can do that by using a second ND filter two. The problem is that on Micro Four Thirds, you'll suffer quality loss up from smaller apertures than f/8. f/16 on MFT is the equivalent of f/32 on Full Frame. --Basotxerri (talk) 20:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think a 16:9 crop would be better: there's too much grey sea. -- Colin (talk) 19:13, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support impressive composition, not too happy about the noise --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:54, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
strong support I don't care about the noise. I could print this at A3 size and given an appropriate viewing distance it would not be apparent. What I do find a bit irritating is the sharpening halo along the bottom of the bridge. And maybe I'd try taking the edge off the highlights in the sky a bit more; I find those almost-white patches a bit distracting. Otherwise: just plain awesome. --El Grafo (talk) 09:48, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is a good example of long-exposure to blur the sky and sea, providing contrast between soft and hard, formless and form. It is a picture to be enjoyed as a whole, not under a magnifying glass. The white cables against dark sky are a good catch. Even with this 16:9 crop it is still 15MP so pixel level sharpness or noise is not important for this kind of image, and would be irrelevant if printed. -- Colin (talk) 18:40, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A nice scene with a lot going on in it, but at 7.3 MP I'd like to see better sharpness. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support per King. I agree with everything he says, but the photo is so beautiful. No possibility of a larger resolution, I take it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm not finding much more here than a holiday snap, I'm afraid. Technical issues per KoH. -- Colin (talk) 18:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Harsh light, too much haze and relatively small resolution -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:40, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Info Dome interior of the 32th Pavilion of VDNKh Park Moscow ("Space Exploration" Pavilion, built in 1954) All by A.Savin --A.Savin 21:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support --A.Savin 21:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm disappointed you weren't able to get the entire dome in the picture. I feel like even if it's partly blocked by other objects, it might be more satisfying for the entire area of the dome to be in the picture, not cropped. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:39, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak support Only because I think it was probably not possible to get the whole dome in the frame (without merging separate images into a vertorama, anyway, which may have created a different set of problems. Daniel Case (talk) 03:41, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Certainly a QI but I don't find the composition compelling. The dome is cut on two sides, and the overlaying part at the bottom distracting -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support The crop is a shortcoming, maybe an inevitable one, but the light is great. --Aristeas (talk) 17:59, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I really like this since it is a space pavilion and not yet another church. I think it would look better of you disregarded the "normal" standards of having domes like this centered and displayed in full and instead worked with lines and where they intersect corners and touch borders. I have suggested a crop that would make this a more abstract photo with cleaner lines. --Cart (talk) 11:13, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Many pixels, but I don't find these houses particularly exciting -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:31, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Basile, the way you feel about this is sort of the way I've been feeling about the picture of a highrise development in Jersey City that's nominated further down the page. In this case, the composition works for me, maybe partly because of all the different orientations of the houses and the interspersed greenery. Either way, I do enjoy this, and it's also impressive, as usual from Milseburg. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:48, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Basile. Many pixels do not a picture make. The view is random and the sides are heavily shaded. -- Colin (talk) 16:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Palauenc05 (talk) 16:53, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
