Thank you for your advice, the shooting conditions were particularly difficult, this statue of sleeping Buddha is located on the uppermost terrace. I couldn't figure out how to fix this problem.

  • It's probably one of a series of photos from the fueling mission, and explanation to why the planes were so close to each other and lazy file naming. It could be renamed "Airman in F-15E takes photo of KC-10" ;-), given what is going on in the photo, or "F-15E during fueling stage from KC-10". --Cart (talk) 10:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • May I ask what all these one-liners/fortune-cookie-quotes you are delivering are about? They don't seem very relevant as assessments of the photo to me, or am I missing something? --Cart (talk) 17:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It was just another episode. I don't know what happened, all I remember was that I wasn't feeling well, so I grabbed my phone and typed a lot of nonsense while sitting in the corner. I wasn't drunk, I just zoned out for a little while, and typed my thoughts here. I think I must have been insane or something. Wolverine XI 04:17, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, but if you had an episode while you did all these votes, wouldn't it be better if you went back to the votes and re-examined them all? Perhaps replace the nonsense with more relevant evaluations of the photos. --Cart (talk) 10:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not in the proper frame of mind to carry that out. Wolverine XI 14:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to hear that you are unwell. In the meantime, I think it would be best if you just striked out your votes for now, and then you can come back later when you feel better. --Cart (talk) 15:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The word "crop" can also mean "framing" in photography terms. No actual cutting of the image needs to have been made. It simply refers to the way the photographer has selected the scene. Since you are new here (like you wrote on another nom), there might be photo terms that are unfamiliar to you. You find most of them at COM:PT. --Cart (talk) 19:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons is just an archive for photos; very few photos are "used" here. The photos kept here are used in Wikipedias all over the world, as well as all the Wiki sister projects, schools, museums, organisations, and thousands of others that get their photos from Commons. Commons is like a "stock photo site" where images can be used for free if you credit the photographer. --Cart (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose Clear distorsions of the face in the corner, due to the wide angle (24 mm) lens. Crop is too tight at the top. The guy seems to lower his head to fit it into the frame :-) The arm and hand in the foreground suffer from motion blur. Probably the shutter speed was not fast enough. The background is not very sharp, and the light is dull around the man with red jumper. To finish, there are big dust spots in the center, one between the worker and the street lamp, another one at the top, and at the right too -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Info Purple martin in flight, slowing down as it approaches its nest. Spent a long time try to get a sharp photo of these very fast birds -- I was happy with this one.
    Note: I tried something with the sky that I haven't attempted before, pulling a cloud from another shot taken at the same place at the same time from roughly the same direction. I don't know if that's too much retouching for FPC, but erring on the side of disclosure (it didn't affect the bird itself -- just improved the background a little). all by — Rhododendrites talk |  23:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Support as per Julesvernex2. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment It is mentioned but that doesn't make it acceptable. We can't go around replacing backgrounds. Where would that stop? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why can't we? Restricting FP to the rules of photojournalism and photo contests would leave out a bunch of interesting candidates. Julesvernex2 (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • You have never manipulated a background (or a foreground)? All of the out-of-focus twigs, distracting leaves, bird/bug-specks in the background, etc. that you've photographed -- you've never removed them? Pay no mind to extraordinary feats of AI-enabled sharpening, AI-based denoising, selective tone adjustments, and all other manner of post-processing, but add a cloud (a cloud in the sky at that place and at that time, even) and all of a sudden I've crossed a bright line? I'm not saying it shouldn't matter -- I know it'll go against some people's sensibilities, which is why I highlighted it in the nomination statement, and anyone is free to oppose if they wish -- but this Arbiter of What's Acceptable stuff is too much. — Rhododendrites talk |  21:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Technically, any panorama which includes sky and clouds will have several spots in the sky where parts are from other neighboring photos, so in fact replaced and often tweaked/reshaped by the processing program to look nice. I can guarantee that the sky never looked exactly like in this image, because it is a product of the program that stitched the panorama. We accept that without question because they are declared as panoramas and we know they are "manipulated". As long as the alteration is openly declared in a very clear manner (which has been made here), I see no problem with entering such photos here at FPC. It's just a matter of classification, and in each case votes can decide how much they are willing to tolerate in an FPC. Ideally it would be great if the original was found in the file's upload history so that we can see each step, I think that would help people decide how they are going to vote. In this case, I suspect there is no great difference. --Cart (talk) 22:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • For good measure, I've uploaded the version before the sky adjustment and reverted. Note that the uploaded file is also before another pass at tone adjustments/white balancing so it looks slightly different in other [more mundane] ways. — Rhododendrites talk |  22:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        It is indeed a small but surprisingly effective change! A small nitpick: those beautiful steel blue feathers above the eyes got quite a bit duller after the tonal adjustments. Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose I agree with Charles that heavy-handed manipulations (like sky replacements) applied to images which will be used in a context where the audience can expect a realistic depiction of the subject shouldn't be featured here. As image manipulations seem to come up more often these days, there might be a need for a more in-depth discussion about what's ok and what's not. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • A discussion has been opened on the FPC talk page. --Cart (talk) 12:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "heavy-handed manipulation" didn't change the subject at all, so if the point is to ensure a photo of a martin looks like a martin that's irrelevant here. If it's to ensure a martin could be seen in front of a realistic background, the fact that it's the same sky from the same place/time would seem pretty realistic. So what's left is an arbitrary line whereby using AI to manipulate an image's noise/sharpness, stitching images, using content-aware fill, outright removing pieces like disturbing plants and smears, etc. is acceptable and this is not. I would feel less strongly about this if people just said "it offends my photographer's sensibilities in ways that a wide range of other manipulations and 'unrealities' do not" rather than act as though this is unrealistic but the rest of what we see at FPC is completely realistic. — Rhododendrites talk |  13:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice photo! Are you sure he is a tanner or has there been a simple mix-up in the translation? A tanner is someone who process the raw hides into leather, a very hazardous and revolting job. After that the leather goes to a currier who dyes and prepare the leather before it can be made into different things by a leather worker. Traditionally, such craftsmen are called "saddlers" even if they make other things from leather than saddles. Perhaps he performs all three professions and we only see one of them (leather working) here in the photo. Love the cat! :-) --Cart (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
