Info Telescope of an old design, after rain, on one of the floors of the Eiffel Tower. Created, uploaded ~~and nominated~~ by Носков А. С. --Aristeas (talk) 07:05, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Носков А. С.: I guess you want to nominate this photo (you have added it at least twice to the list of FP nominations). But you missed the creation of the nomination page. As a little help I have done this for you. Please add your own support by adding *{{Support}} --~~~~ below and saving this page. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 07:05, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Tilt fixed, cf. below. --Aristeas (talk) 09:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Fascinating image made by an interesting camera. The demands regarding the image quality must therefore be reduced somewhat. The crooked buildings, however, I still find too disturbing. Perhaps the photographer can still improve that.--Ermell (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how to work in photoshop (and I don't like to edit photos, except how to crop foreign objects that got into the frame). It will also not work to re-photograph, because I live in another country and it is unlikely that I will come to Paris again. Носков А. С. (talk) 05:24, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And besides, using photo editors is not photography, but photomontage! Носков А. С. (talk) 05:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you do not understand the word photomontage. Correcting tilt is a basic edit which is more acceptable in competition than removing 'foreign objects'. Charlesjsharp (talk) 06:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tilt and perspective can be corrected, of course. Here is a version in which tilt and perspective have been improved. I have also reduced colour noise and chromatic aberrations. The question is whether we should also try to improve brightness and gradation (curves); I have done it a bit. I have not applied additional sharpening or reduced the overall noise level, of course. @Ermell: Would that version be better in your eyes? @Носков А. С.: If you like this version, I can upload it for you. Or, if you do not like that the photo is a bit brighter now etc., I can also undo that and correct the tilt and perspective only. --Aristeas (talk) 14:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Very good Roman. I would support that version. The author has had a good eye for the moment which is the essence of photography. Perhaps he also finds a taste for improving his images. Who is the nominator? --Ermell (talk) 19:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like your version, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Thank you for your feedback, Ermell and Ikan Kekek! Because the original photo has alrady QI status and because some of the changes are a matter of taste, I cannot replace it by the new version (cf. COM:OVERWRITE). So I have uploaded the new version under a new filename (File:Подзорная труба (edited).jpg) and switched this nomination to the new file. Hope this is OK. --Aristeas (talk) 09:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I just wanted to nominate this on behalf of Носков А. С., as a little help ;–). But now we are discussing different versions of this photo, and things are getting complicated. To avoid reconciliation problems, it seems better that I take over the nomination and maintain it in my own name. I hope this is OK for everybody.
