Oppose. Soft and noisy, but a great capture otherwise. Diliff (talk) 13:43, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Soft and noisy, perhaps. But an absolutely breathtaking photo, and just the kind of image that will make people say, "Look at what's on Commons!" I love it! KDS444 (talk) 16:19, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- They'll say "Look at what's on Commons!" and then they'll view it full screen and feel cheated by Commons. It's clearly out of focus. It's an unfortunate almost-caught-it moment. Diliff (talk) 21:31, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- KDS444, this is a captive bird, so not nearly as "breathtaking" as if it were wild. -- Colin (talk) 11:30, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose truely breathtaking as a thumbnail, can't argue with that. It breaks my heart to reject this, but it's really very soft and noisy at higher resolutions. --El Grafo (talk) 21:25, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Looks like a photo from a tourist's photo album. If this photo was professionally made, the photo would have been taken on a sunshiny day and the photographer would have waited until the people at left were gone. Good photo but not featured I think. I need a wauw effect. --Nobelpeopleuploader (talk) 23:12, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment At least someone writes me a comment? positive or not, maybe I learn something. Thanks :)
Comment It's a nice photo, but I don't think it has a wow factor. Perhaps the image is a bit soft, but that's not a big issue. Overall, I don't think it is outstanding, for example the background is not chosen very well, imo (the statues are cut). Also the lamp in the background at the right bottom is a bit distracting --DXR (talk) 19:00, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for your suggestions --LivioAndronico talk 19:25, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think the columns and the statue are fighting for attention. And by the way, maybe you would write a better description of the photo on File:San paolo ,basilica.jpg instead of just "San paolo ,basilica". --Nobelpeopleuploader (talk) 22:04, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Strongly framed by the lintel at the top, but at the bottom the columns are simply truncated. Don't know that you can fix this composition. Kbh3rd (talk) 03:43, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I’ve had this issue rising on QIC as well. I like this image exactly for the contrast of deep shadow versus the sunlit pasture beyond. Brightening the shadows would spoil the atmosphere. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 08:11, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Dman41689 (talk) 07:10, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Perhaps as an abstract composition of light and shadow and color it works, but when I see a picture like this I want to see more detail than the lighting in this image affords. The foliage in the upper right appears to have a halo -- did you manually darken the sky and avoid the trees? It's a great subject, but I just don't feel the atmosphere that you do. I like the structure of your composition. I'd take lots of pictures of it in lots of different lighting and with lots of different skies if that was in my back yard. Kbh3rd (talk) 04:45, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for your review. Yes, the image has been slightly tone-mapped, as I said in my initial info. Unfortunately, it’s a two days journey from the place I usually live :-( but I’ll do my very best next time I’m there. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 10:39, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose. Nice sunset but unfortunately the main subject is in shadow. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is not a sunset the time is 21. nov 2008, 14:43 and the sun is behind the photografer behind a cloud, so the main subject is not in shade but in diffused light. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 08:24, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The top part of the sky looks massively oversharpened. I would suggest to apply masked sharpening (exclude the sky) and apply some selective noise reduction on the sky. There are also dust spots (see note). Composition is good. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:13, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thx for the reviews. I have removed the two dustspots and done a noise reduction on the sky. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 11:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's remarkably better, but for my personal taste still too much sharpening artefacts / noise on the sky (also on the lower parts). --Tuxyso (talk) 07:29, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think it is pretty decent concert photo, but the artist appears for me lack the kind of concentration/charisma/expression, which I expect for it to reach FP level, like these two recent concert FPs, for example. --Slaunger (talk) 20:38, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For me: too many people are opose. Many of them are categorical oppose: "without the words..." if I can compare other pictures submissions for music perfomance, I thought that from the last time this is best one... I have done many written Slovak articles about music for Wikipedia, but here are no many amateurish pictures about them with better qouality: "better" in general no better that this one... thank you for new experience: voting here is not about voting for articles submissions' quality, this is almost for artistic photographers' support only... vaste time for me... candidate of amateur reporting photo here is mistake. Bye. --Bojars (talk) 06:00, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Bojars I am sorry if nominating a photo here has been a bad experience for you. It is less than 0.1 % of all photos on Commons, which end up being featured. So getting the opposes is not a shame. It has happened to most frequent nominators here. There is another image recognition project on Commons, Commons:Valued images, which recognise getting that good illustration for a specific topic or article (which this photo is, it is clearly better than average photos on Commons). You may want to have a look at that - and hopefully come back, when you get that fantastic concert shot with a great wow and expression. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:55, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutly agree with you, Slaunger. You are one of those, who gave answer/ comment for "oppose". This is clear and uderstable... (and for my poor English knowledge too). For my acceptation of working/ uploadind to Wikimedia Commons is: "how many from my uploads are used in Wiki projects?". And there are over 90% of them... and that is another motivation. --Bojars (talk) 07:44, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The disturbing background spoils it for me, putting the spider before dark and bright background in turns while looking at it. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 19:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Lauro Sirgado: It's fixable?

ArionEstar (talk) 21:50, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment@ArionEstar: I like that. I respect the Kreuzschnabel opinion (Hi Kreuzschnabel), but I have my own. The choice of point of view was just to give the impression that the spider touched the riparian forest to an observer far from the picture in the original format. This species is well distributed (even in cities) and the photo was taken to show it in its wild habitat, remove the motif of picture and replace the background ruin the motivation of the photographer to choose the composition. Anyway add a background leave the unnatural picture, due to details of the spider would be an insane work, to stay so I took it as a good job. -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 22:59, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CommentTo achieve that effect, the spider and forest should be nearly equally sharp. The unsharpness of the forest gives too much depth into the image to generate the intended deception. That idea just didn’t come to my mind. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 06:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment@Kreuzschnabel: Please take this (and the previous) for information only, I do not want to defend a position, just explained, the image would be in a frame a few steps away from the observer, the lure disappear on approach, revealing the motif. The background should be blurred in this case. Each composition(and person) requires a different way of looking, and yes(so even), I understand and respect your point of view. Ty -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 19:40, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not "FP enough" for me as I said earlier. (This is another Argiope taken by me which is also below the FP bar.) J e e 03:28, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Kreuzschnabel. I appreciate the explanation by Lauro Sirgado, but I did not get the compositional idea when seeing the image, and it does not work for me. --Slaunger (talk) 20:27, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice composition! However, central building looks tilted CCW, entire image looks oversharpened to me (bright fringe along edges), bright areas slightly overexposed. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 19:34, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too harsh light and too high contrast to shadows on right hand side. Propose trying earlier in the morning or an hour or two before sunset (depending on how the shadows fall) to get more soft light. --Slaunger (talk) 20:32, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice detail in the shadows at the cost of washed-out highlights. Not sure about the composition, either. All sorts of things are chopped off at the edges, and that boring grass takes up too much of the frame. Shadows of unseen features detract. Definitely should try at other times of the day. Maybe get tighter in on the center building. How would it look if taken while standing even with the first lamp post, or even the second? Kbh3rd (talk) 06:04, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment With its 2.25 Mpixels, just barely scrapes over the 2 Mpixel minimal resolution requirement. The file page could benefit from a proper {{Information}} template and a geolocation. I think the photo as such is very good, with a good timing. Focus is soft on one of the birds, but I think excuseable. Some concerns were raised about the authenticity of this photo in its EN:WP nomination back in 2009. It appears they were not completely resolved. I am in doubt if this gets over the bar for FPs of birds nowadays. --Slaunger (talk) 20:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  - Comment@Lauro Sirgado: See Commons:Overwriting existing files. It is very good that you have uploaded a photo of higher resolution, and it is certainly uncontroversial for this nomination as no-one has actually voted yet. It is a bit more controversial because the same file is promoted to featured status on both the English and Turkish wikipedias. However, as I see it it is clearly an improvement in this case and thus should not cause any problems with regard to the previous promotions. Overwriting an image with one of larger resolution is also mentioned explicitly as allowed, although one is cautioned when it comes to images with assessments that not other alterations are done at the same time. --Slaunger (talk) 20:05, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thank you. -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 20:38, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Question Since the creator is available for questioning: In the nomination at the English Wikipedia, an editor raised a concern/question if this was actually a staged shot? He also mentioned that the background appeared artificial. Could a little more details be revealed about the conditions of the shot on the file page (if this is still recallable, it has been some years :-) ) to shed some light on this? --Slaunger (talk) 20:12, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment@Slaunger: Do not know the author, and do not feel comfortable doing any inquiry, although we are geographically close. In the original I noticed a discontinuous and undefined boundary between the background and the motif, but does not progress on areas of detail of the barb of feathers, can be the result of image compression, but that's just a guess. -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 21:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Cropped version from User:Kikos --Pudelek (talk) 12:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I prefer this crop to the first. The subject is a castle on a hill overlooking a town. The large foreground houses of the town at the bottom of the first crop distract from and compete with the castle. I might crop a bit off of the left side so that the castle and the buildings on the right are more in balance, but don't lose the bridge over the river. I don't like how the house on the far right is chopped off by the edge of the frame. Kbh3rd (talk) 05:34, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support While I'd normally say that this could be cropped a little more at top and bottom, in this case I think the extra space makes the contrast between the detailed rock and the fuzzy clouds that much stronger. Daniel Case (talk) 18:25, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Since support seems overwhelming I can voice my objections without ruining anyone's day. ;-) I was going to say that the lower clouds are too large and dense and serve more to obscure than to lend atmosphere, and that the extra space below the cloud in this crop is necessary in order to lend depth to the image. But I think that's actually what the problem with this image is. If the forest at the bottom was cropped out you'd have just this big rock floating in a sea of clouds, and that could be a stronger image. The current crop wants me to see more than the cloud allows -- more than I should want given that the subject is the rock and the atmosphere is the rock floating in the clouds.

Comment I would suggest you to review your nominations more carefully. The image here has several even QI issues (a lot of dust spots, I've marked only a few and a strange dark area at the top center). The sharpness varries remarkably from the image center to the image border - quite unusual for a stitching - what's happened there? The people at the edges are strongly compressed due to wide angle usage or due to projection type? Last issue: The noise level on the sky especially at the upper parts is imho to high and the composition is for my personal taste relatively boring. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:53, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- My suggestion was not "ridiculous" (please no personal attack). As I've seen later there was already a comment on QIC adressing the same issues I've mentioned here. To avoid misunderstandings (in former times you've critized by bad English) also in German: Ich finde meinen Kommentar gar nicht so blöd wie von dir behauptet. Erst später habe ich gesehen, dass du das Foto auf QIC auch nominierst hast und dort wurden genau die gleichen Dinge kritisiert, die ich hier genannt habe. Bleibe bitte auf der Sachebene und vermeide beleidigende Kommentare wie "blödinnige Vorschläge". Auf die anderen offensichtlichen Mängel, die ich aufgezählt habe, gehst du ja gar nicht erst ein (Schärfe z.B.). Ob und wie ich abstimme überlasse bitte mir. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:12, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scheinbar sollte man tatsächlich nur auf Deutsch mit dir schreiben, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden. Ich sprach nicht von blödsinnigen Vorschlägen von dir sondern von lächerlichen. Und dazu stehe ich auch nach wie vor. Kleine Unreinheiten am Himmel, die ich nicht gesehen hatte, als KO-Kriteriem für eine Nominierung heranzuziehen ist nämlich nichts anderes. Und in der von dir zitierten QI-Nominierung wurde das Bild im Übrigen gelobt und nicht nur die marginalen Unreinheiten thematisiert. Soviel dazu. Außerdem: wenn ich einen Satz von dir kritisiere dann ist das keine persönliche Attake. Mir ist bewusst, dass das bei WP/COM nur allzu gerne als ultra-totschlag-Argument herangezogen wird, aber es trifft weder der Sache noch ist es in einer anderen Art dienlich.

Dass ich bei diesem "Tonfall", den du anschlägst nicht sonderlich motiviert bin, dir auf deine weiteren "Fragen zu antworten mag verständlich sein. Dennoch: ich vermag keine gravierenden Schärfeverluste im Bild zu erkennen. Dass sich am Rand unschäre ergibt liegt in der Natur der Optik (schon mal von Randunschärfe gehört?). Daran ändert auch nichts, dass man ein Bild stitched. Gerade weil man eben die Bildmitte (das Hauptobjekt im Allgemeinen) durchgängig scharf haben will, stitched man ja. Dass eine kleine Mauer am Rand nicht 100% die selbe Schärfe hat ist nach meinem Verständnis kein gravierender Qualitätsmangel. Natürlich kann man aber über jedes Pixel diskutieren. Dass die Passanten am Bildrand durch den Weitwinkelblick gestaucht wurden liegt ebenfalls in der Natur der Sache. Mich stört es nicht, sollte es die Massen hier stören, bin ich auch leidenschaftslos, diese komplett heraus zu retouchieren. Würde vielleicht in diesem Fall sogar noch atmosphärisch dem Bild zum Positiven gereichen. Dass du das Bild oder seine Komposition langweilig findest ist dir unbenommen. Will man eine Nahansicht des Bauwerks haben so bleiben aufgrund der örtlichen Gegebenheiten nicht so viele Alternativen. Aber gegen langweiligen Bildeindruck gibt es ja auch kein Argument, das ist gusto. Entweder es gefällt oder missfällt. Dann hoffe ich mal, dass du missverständnisfrei alle Infos erhalten hast, die du dir gewünscht hast. Gut Licht! --Wladyslaw (talk) 10:07, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ja vielen Dank für die Erläuterung. Dass bei Stitchings per se am Rand Unschärfe sein muss sehe ich übrigens nicht so, vgl. dieses Foto - da ist kein bisschen Unschärfe. Es kommt auf die Aufnahmetechnik an - wenn nur nur 2,3 Fotos mit einer WW-Optik aufnimmst kann das in der Tat passieren. Du hast doch auch einen NP-Adapter, da ist qualitativ definitiv deutlich mehr drin. Nimmst du im Hochformat oder im Querformat auf? Bei Stitchings mit 28-35mm Brennweite, ggf. mehrzeilig habe ich derartige Probleme bisher nie gehabt. Außerdem kannst du ja auch etwas weiter nach links und rechts aufnehmen und dann croppen. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Einen NP-Adapter habe ich nicht und ist dementsprechend nicht zum Einsatz gekommen. Es handelt sich um drei Hochkant-Freihand-Aufnahmen, deren Stitching-Ergebnis nachträglich noch perspektivisch korrigiert wurde. Diesen Schritt hat man auch mit NP-Ausgleich. Vermeidbar wäre das m.E. nur dann gewesen, wenn ich noch deutlich weiter über die Ränder hinaus fotografiert hätte, um anschließend den nicht überlappenden Rand wegzuschneiden. Aber wie ich schon sagte: ich halte den Schärfteverlust (a) absolut für vertretbar und (b) da es sich nicht um einen Bereich handelt, der zum Gebäude selbst gehört und nicht das Hauptobjekt betrifft schon zwei mal. --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:59, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CommentFor me there’s distractiong amounts of space left and right of the subject. I’d crop off the left until the wall has gone, and a bit off the right too, to emphasize the subject. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 10:27, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Strong vertical perspective "correction" applied making the building distorted and proportions wrong. A Google Image search for "Castell de Bellver" shows that this is the dullest viewpoint possible for this castle, which could be a "wow" subject. -- Colin (talk) 12:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Each (!) perspective "correction" ist making the building distorted and proportions wrong. This is inevitable. The correction was definetly not strong, this is a wrong statement. And I don't see what should be distracting at this view. --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:01, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, a mild degree of perspective correction is acceptable. You simply can't make a rectilinear image of a tall building from this close a viewpoint without serious distortions. This has been known since renaisance painting. But in addition to this "correction", your proportions are just far out. This image has the building looking only about 20% wider than the tower is tall, yet other distant views show the ratio should be more than 2:1. That's due to the exaggerated wide-angle perspective, which here is very misleading. And your people look about 1m high. There's just too much wrong here. And I didn't say the view was distracting, I said it was dull. This castle has some amazing features that are visible from other viewpoints, but this seems almost chosen to exclude anything interesting. -- Colin (talk) 13:44, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Normally I would agree that having the car facing into the empty space would be preferable to having it facing away from it.

I don't know much about composition rules (and don't really care about them to be honest as I prefer spontaneity). Before I bought this camera for my current travels, I used to shoot only with films, which means that I would take only one shot of each scene/portrait. To maximize the chances to get a nicer result, and because of my lack of knowledge about composition, I would simply move around the subjet, move around the camera, and shoot the one variation that visually seemed the more right to me. That's what I did here as well. Also I won't crop it to a square format because I like the idea of seeing more of the horizon line in the background. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 13:19, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Onging, but long parallel discussion about the monk and the issue of consent

Question It appears for me very peculiar to place a Taiwanese Monk at Salar of Uyuni in Bolivia. Care to explain? --Slaunger (talk) 20:20, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It indeed is peculiar! When I realized that it's not given to everyone to meet with a monk in the middle of the Salar, I thought that this coincidence was worth a photo and a good chat—he's a great guy! At the end, there isn't much to explain though—he was simply travelling like everyone else for a few weeks in order to see some nice places and to meet some of his fellows scattered in Latin America. Funningly he was given a tablet to document his travels and did that pretty well to the point of taking a snap every 5 minutes while being driven around the Salar. I hope this is not going against some special requirements for the featured category that I might have missed—since I saw other very similar photos being promoted as featured, I thought that I was good to go. Let me know if not and I'll remove it. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 20:46, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are certainly not breaking any FP rules subject-wise. Interesting story, and I like it because it challenges my prejudice views that a Taiwanese monk would probably stay in Taiwan, and if traveling, wear a more 'normal' outfit:) I think it would be worthwhile to add a shortened version of this story to the file page, such that other users who initially go WTF? (like me) can get some further insight. Did you ask for his consent to publish this work for commercial re-use? Concerning a vote, I need to think about it. My biggest concern is that I think an FP should tell its story by itself. On the other hand I like the 'surprise' aspect of this photo, which poke at my simple-minded 'view of the world'. And it makes me curious to learn more, which is good. --Slaunger (talk)

Fair enough! I'm glad that it triggers this kind of reaction. I've updated the description as requested but as for his consent, I don't have it. I'm unfortunately not very good with the legislation part of photography, but I thought having read somewhere on Wikimedia that release rights were not required as soon as a person was shot in a public place? Now, I can't recall where exactly I've read that for reference, nor if the Salar is a public place at all? If I'm wrong in thinking that, and in the case where I can't manage to contact him, what should I do? -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 21:46, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See Commons:Photographs of identifiable people - there are country-specific issues. The term "commercial use" is ambiguous. Nearly all images of identifiable people on Commons lack a "model release" that would permit using this image for "commercial" purposes i.e. advertising, but the image may still be used in a "commercial" publication, such as education or news. Ultimately, it is up the the re-user to determine their legal situation and the free licence needed for Commons is a separate issue from personality rights. The thing you need to worry about as a photographer/uploader is the the country-specific laws about taking/publishing photos of people with/without consent. -- Colin (talk) 22:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for those explanations—as expected, it doesn't sound simple :) In this case, I should look at Bolivia since the photo was taken there rather than Taiwan which is his nationality, right? In any case, none of those two countries are listed on your link so it's hard for me to tell without some investigations. That said, if I take the shortcut of checking Peru instead, it doesn't seem to be a good sign? Now, I'm quite "speechless" at this page... looking at the rules applied to France for example, I've got difficulties to imagine that more than 0.0001% of the photos on Facebook, Instagram, and most of the internet (Wikimedia too from what you said?), are being published with an explicit consent of the subject. Sounds like a complex case here? Anyways, if you think that it's easier to remove that photo, it's totally fine with me. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 22:26, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately those pages aren't very helpful and tend to be compiled by folk playing amateur lawyer rather than looking at reality. And doesn't list Bolivia. You are right that the laws in some countries are technically so strict that very few images would be legal. Can you imagine a football or tennis match on TV where the crowd was all blurred out? And laws regarding "publication" seem to exist from a pre-internet age when your holiday snaps were in an album on a bookshelf. You might want to ask User:Poco a poco, who seems well travelled. Commons is unlikely to delete the image and any legal risk you face here is no different to your Flickr page. Your friendly monk clearly consented to having his photo taken by you and if he is using a tablet for photos, then he's probably got one of you on his Flickr page so you could safely assume he's aware the image might end up on the internet. I find it hard to imagine this Taiwanese monk using Bolivian law to sue you for taking a holiday photo and posting it on the internet. -- Colin (talk) 08:19, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I like travelling (and actually are planning also to go to Uyuni soon), but cannot provide much clarification to this discussion. I don't know the Bolivian law and couldn't find much on the Internet. If the picture would have been taken e.g. in Spain, then it would probably have to be deleted, because apart from public people or public event where people are secondary (e.g. football match), everything else requires explicit authorization. I have asked a Bolivian user for help, maybe he can contribute more than me. Poc o² 19:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For sure, I can't imagine him suing me neither, it would be so far away from his philosophy. But after this conversation, I somehow felt like that I'm in this grey area where I assume that it's all good without officially knowing his point of view. In which case, my entire Flickr is indeed in the same position, as well as most of Flickr accounts and the whole internet... which makes me think that those laws are a bit absurd—it's not as if I was being a paparazzi and breaking the privacy of those persons (I hope). Ok, that's clearing my mind, thanks :) -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 13:10, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like the photo to stay as well, but I think there is a difference between the (formally illegal, but casual) use on social media, where the typical (tacit) assumption for the depicted person is that it is shared among friends of the photographer, and being more highly profiled by becoming a featured picture. Say, it becomes FP. It will then end up on the main page of commons as POTD one day. Often more than a year after the event happened. And that day alone it will receive some 40,000 page views (a POTD on EN.FP receives some 15,000,000(!) page views) of people spread all over. I know that if it was me who was depicted, that would make quite a difference for me, and I would really like to know and give my consent. It is not a question of a law suit or not. It is a question about showing courtesy to the depicted and maintain good ethics. (I am thereby not saying the creator here has bad ethics, just that it is difficult and worthwhile giving some thought) Maybe it would be embarassing for him to be depicted with white rubber boots (which I love) for a wider public? I don't know, and I think it is hard to say without knowing the depicted person better and his cultural values. It is a for me a difficult balance between protecting the privacy of an identifiable person (even if posing in public) and getting these outstanding people shots on Commons (which we have way to few of, because it is so difficult to do it right). --Slaunger (talk) 16:37, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very fair point, thanks for bringing it in. I didn't know that FP pictures could have such an exposure (I'm actually quite impressed with those numbers!). That said, I believe that Flickr photos can have similar exposures since they're not restricted to circles of friends—but this it out of topic and doesn't change anything about the issue here. Having talked with him, he's very chilled and didn't have a problem with the boots at all or whatsoever. He actually was quite amused and thanked me for the 2 pictures I took of him while being very happy of the resulting previews. But still, I will try one more time to get in touch with him to be 100% sure that he's fine with this photo being published. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 16:59, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is a good idea to deny FP status because of worries about exposure. We have to consider any image file on Commons (or public folder on Flickr -- freely licensed or not) to have the potential for massive exposure beyond our control. Should I lose sleep over the hundreds of identifiable people in this or this? Perhaps someone in my railway station crowd made a non-optimal clothing choice that day? Everyone may have their own ethical position on taking/publishing photos of people, but this isn't a "privacy" issue at all -- that's the wrong concern. We have far, far more concerning photos on Commons than this. And there are plenty professionals taking photos of people with little more "consent" than pointing at the camera and making a thumbs-up question, only going to the trouble of written consent when they want to sell images for stock or advertising. -- Colin (talk) 19:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Colin, I think the crowd shots you are mentioning, with identifiable persons if you look at it in full resolution are an entirely different matter. Say if one man is "identified" there walking with his mistress by pure coincidence, because someone who knows him, scrutinizes the photo at 100%, he knew it was a chance he took. Here the monk is the main subject (and him and the photographer actually appear to be quite alone, although in a public setting) and the tacit contract between main subject and photographer is completely different. I agree that we have far worse examples on Commons on violating consent than this (if this is violating it at all), and there are pro photographers, who does not follow the book, but that is not an excuse for not doing things right. Especially for our collection of FPs they should provide a good example in every aspect, the wow, the quality, the file page, the categorization, the consent. They should be a show-case of professionalism in every aspect. and show that Commons can actually behave responsibly and not be "broken" as some regularly claim. --Slaunger (talk) 20:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Small heads up: A few days ago, I tried for the second time to contact him through the Facebook email that he gave me, but still no luck. I can't even add him as a friend since his account doesn't allow such invitations. As such, he must receive my messages in the "others" section of Facebook's messages and probably haven't seen them. I've searched for another way to contact him but he's not subscribed anywhere else—apparently he doesn't even have a "proper" (non-Facebook) email. I'm out of ideas. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 17:59, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to... it's counted anyways. But it's more of a courtesy, and "technically wrong" could mean anything (and so means nothing). When I'm yelled at, I like to know why.

Support Subject, composition, and color all work for me, though could wish for sharper detail on the monk. Is ISO 800 a bit high for that camera? Perhaps shutter at 1/60 with ISO 400 would have been better. Kbh3rd (talk) 04:16, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fuji's X-trans sensors are pretty good at handling noise, even though there are some drawback like lost of details during demosaicing (which can be considered noise somehow...). ISO 800 is not a problem in my experience, but this was processed with Lightroom and author used default values, which are known to render soft. - Benh (talk) 07:00, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a tripod and therefore I have my camera hand-handled. When I used to shot with my Hasselblad 500 C/M, I didn't mind going as low a 1/30s since the body is quite heavy and hence more stable. But with this small and light Fuji X100S, I avoid as much as possible going slower than 1/125s or there would be too many chances for me to slightly move and get a blurry picture. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 13:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info High dynamic range night shot of Benidorm, turistic capital of the Costa Blanca (literally White Coast) in Land of Valencia, Spain. The shot was taken from the Cross of Benidorm, located on the summit of the Sierra Helada. Benidorm, is a town with 73,000 inhabitants throughout the year but with a peak of over half a million in the summer season. It's the third town with the most concentration of tall buildings in Europe, after London and Milan, whereas in Spain, Benidorm is positioned third, behind Barcelona and Madrid in the total number of skyscrapers. Nevertheless, Benidorm has the most high-rise buildings per capita in the world. All by me, Poc o² 20:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose Mmmh, I cannot really get enthusiastic about this photo. Level of details is quite good for a night shot. In direct comparison to the photo at blue hour one clearly gets the advantage of your careful HDR usages with this photo. From the technically side there are perspective issues at the very right (take a look in the verticals). But my main problem is the upper right part of the photo. There is a lot of fog and important details disappear in fog and darkness. The sharpening you've applied is also not beneficial there - sharpening areas with less details often result in sharpening artefacts. Probably an HDR at blue hour (a bit earlier as your nom beneath) with clearer air had been better. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:14, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- I understand your argument with the container (could not move it), for me it is not very distracting. What do you mean with "lower part"? The lower part of the building or the lower part of the complete photo? Take a look on Suncalc: The only way to photograph the building with nice light is in summer about 1h before sunset (north facade). The consequence is that only the building is well lid, other parts are in shadow. For me no shortage, in contrary: a special quality of this photo. Nonetheless there are still a lot of details in the shadows - no 100% black. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:05, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the nice golden hour light in this shot in combination with the beautiful sky formation over the building and the very high resolution (62 Mpx) is highlight enough to compensate the negative influence from the container . Additionaly what you see here is a north facade - you can only make reasonable photos of it with good light in a short period in the summer. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:01, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree -- Colin (talk) 07:23, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(I guess it is basically the same recipe, which you recently explained in quite some detail to Benh). For instance, use the {{Panorama}} template. --Slaunger (talk) 21:12, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about how well the image generation process shall be documented

- I could, but it's frustrating and quite time consuming to explain how I created every single panorama. There's a lot of details to explain and I create a lot of images. ;-) Also, I don't think the template has the necessary fields... The number of frames doesn't explain how many rows and columns, or how many exposures per frame. Maybe it should be more about the beauty of the finished product that is created rather than how it was created. Diliff (talk) 21:42, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I understand if you think that particular template is not well suited, it was just a proposal. But, please document your method somehow. When people in 100 years wonder how such fantastic shots could be made with the mediocre technology of 2014, it is nice that it is documented how you managed to do it anyway . Maybe you can even make a user template for your interior panos, such that you only have to specify a few values, such as the number of exposures and their spread, number of rows and columns of images, aperture, ISO, projection. Surely, this information must be available in your panorama "Projects" (depending on what software you use). At least it is for me when I use PTgui. I mean your high productivity of these extremely Awesome! shots is highly appreciated, but I think it is a little bit laid back not wanting to use the after all limited time it takes to document the process used when nominating for FPC. --Slaunger (talk) 22:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - I guess you're right, since we can only nominate two images per week, we can spare the time to document them! I use PTGui also, and yes all the information is in the project files. I just have to go back and dig it up. There is of course a lot of detailed work involved that isn't so easily explained with camera values and "x rows * y columns * z exposures" though. Diliff (talk) 22:24, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not sure this helps to convince you, but I second Slaunger here. After all, I joined the project after seeing one of your "awesome" photos, and I bet I'm not the only one. Even the free Hugin, which I use, automatically adds relevant details (FOV, projection) into the EXIF upon completion of the panorama. Maybe yours can be setup to do the same? - Benh (talk) 22:32, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(EC) Thanks for being open to the idea. If only you get the most essential information there it will be a big improvement. Of course you do not have to flesh out all the details such that any other person could exactly reproduce the end result based on the source images. The objective is to get an idea about how it was done. --Slaunger (talk) 22:36, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - Benh, PTGui automatically adds details to the EXIF too (although I don't think it includes projection), but it often gets stripped in post production (I usually export an HDR 32 bit TIF from PTGui and then process it further in Lightroom). Most of my images do have complete EXIF data. But really only the ISO and aperture are reliable. The shutter speed in these HDR images is not one value (since there are usually 3 or 5 exposures), and the equivalent focal length of the panorama is usually wrong too because it applies to the field of view when processing the panorama in PTGui and isn't the true field of view after cropping. So I wouldn't trust much of the EXIF data that is produced anyway. Diliff (talk) 14:16, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- What makes it photoshopped/kitsch to you? All images receive processing (even if just to convert the sensor data into a JPG in camera) but calling something photoshopped usually implies that misrepresentation has occurred. This image is basically how the altar truly looks. The only real out of the ordinary processing is in recovering the stained glass detail. It's hard to show you equivalent photos though because as St Paul's Cathedral usually restricts photography, there really aren't any other decent quality photos of this high altar in existence on the web. Diliff (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think this image is an tonemapping/HDR image. The saturation looks to strong for me = "photoshopped". I think also you know its meaning. It will be also better for us all, to add more info's about your work: camera, lens, from how images it was made, the exposures etc.. At least that would be very interesting for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:50, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, it is tone mapped, as are most of my interior images. I can add this extra information but it won't prove or disprove that the subject is accurately represented. HDR images can be processed to look realistic (which is what I always aim for), and regular single exposures can be processed to look unrealistic. Diliff (talk) 08:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - An "accurately represented" image is a matter of opinion. I think the red canal and the saturation are a bit to strong.

This image arguably scores extra points for rarity. Photography is normally not allowed to be taken inside the cathedral by any visitors under any circumstances, but I managed to get special permission to take this photo (and others). In addition, even if photography were normally allowed, St Paul's Cathedral is usually swarming with people and it would very difficult to get a photo like this without people everywhere. ;-)

Support It's is a beautiful (and rare) image, but if I may suggest... just saw an hour ago(!) a fascinating documentary on the cathedral, explaining how the building is very slowly "sinking", and how the pillar supporting the dome are cleverly hidden etc. I think you chose to squeeze too much horizontal FOV in the Frame, and the distorsions result in a nave which looks larger than reality. I couldn't tell at first glance that I was looking at the same interior. I think this picture gives a better idea of the volume. How about a worm's view without verticals corrected or a cylindrical-like projection? And just out of curiosity, what happened to the uncropped version of File:St Paul's Cathedral Interior Dome 2 crop, London, UK - Diliff.jpg (the link is dead)? If it looks like this, it would be the picture I nominate first :) - Benh (talk) 22:19, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the comments. It's always a criticism that wide angles of view make an interior look larger/more voluminous than it really is. Yes, I could have used a less wide FOV but then I would have missed the top of the arches and the monument on the left side. I wasn't able to get further back because I was pushed right up against the font near the entrance. And yes I would have really loved to have been given access to the balcony levels but that wasn't an option. I did ask. ;-) As for the uncropped version, it's there. I just forgot to add the File: at the start of the filename. Unfortunately I couldn't include the horizon in the image because there were too many people walking around by that stage. I wasn't given a completely empty cathedral unfortunately. I was able to enter at exactly the time that the cathedral opened in the morning (not earlier) and the nave shot was the first shot I shot as I knew the cathedral would fill up quickly. By the time I got to the dome in the middle of the cathedral, there were too many people walking around and time was limited so I chose to concentrate on the ceiling instead. If I had all day and the cathedral was empty, I would have tried a lot of other views. Diliff (talk) 14:38, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, that's why I proposed you to give a try to the worm's view, or cylindrical projection. I found cylindrical to render quite fine in these situations (but that's only my opinion of course, and my results don't necessarily speak for themselves like yours). The distortions are easy on the eyes and, in such cases where we have the references to help, we tend to read them as straight lines unconsciously. As for the dome, how sad because I see it as a trademark of the cathedral. - Benh (talk) 22:46, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A topic very well suited for an aerial photograph. I do not like the crop though, where the surrounding walls and buildings are separated by the main ruin in an unfortunate way. Also, considering the medium resolution of the photo, I do not think the per pixel quality is quite as good as I would have preferred - or maybe it has to do with the somewhat harsh light, which gives a slightly bleached or washed out appearance. I think you have other shots from the same series of photos, which have more wow for me and better light. Foremost File:Aerial View - Burg Rötteln1.jpg - especially if a bit of the forest could be cropped off to the left and top. This photo is also a VI within the scope of aerial views of this ruin, with good reason I think.

Oppose if retouching work doesn't affect the scenery in a significant way it's okay for me, but if retouching work changes reality (and erasing building parts of a historic castle is a strong reality-changing) than this work will never receive my satisfaction. --Wladyslaw (talk) 04:30, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Interesting composition, but it does not quite work for me. Background is a little too busy for my taste (albeit probably hard to avoid). --Slaunger (talk) 18:28, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And so hard to avoid: I do not cut trees. Remove trees with photoshop is too distort reality IMO: Behind there is a forest! The church is on the outskirts of Cambados and heavily wooded area--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 22:07, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And I certainly do not want you to try and remove them artificially:) I was more thinking if it was possible to find another vantage point where the background is less busy. Either almost entirely trees, or with less trees. I admit that may be easier said than done, but then again, this is FPC after all. --Slaunger (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, we'll have to wait to cutting trees to take a picture like this, from outside. Here you can see images of the church of the years 2007, 2011 and 2013 and there are trees ~~(less in 2007)~~.

Oppose Sorry Wilfredo, but too dark. Yann (talk) 07:16, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I consider this type of photography should be dark, if your intention is to show the hours, the photograph must be dark. In this case, my intention was to show the contrast between light and darkness of the port of Hong Kong. To say that this picture is dark is very true because the technique of this style is. It is very difficult to know how to differentiate an error photograph and intentionally achieved, especially when some kind of art is the result of the error. In this case, I tried that this photograph was dark, by the light we recognize that there is darkness. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 21:46, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The darkness isn't the problem IMO. It's that there's too much of one color of light, and it's not a good one—that horrible "bastard amber" produced by sodium-vapor lighting. It makes the city look a lot more hellish than I remember it being last summer. If it weren't for the distinctive Tsing Ma bridge (which avoids that lighting), I wouldn't know we were looking at HK. Daniel Case (talk) 00:29, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree with Daniel. Couldn't that be corrected throuh white balance? It's also very dark, but I can't tell if that would still be a problem with more variation in colour. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 17:59, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Another centenial document. Exactly 100 years ago, August 1st, 1914, this poster was put everywhere on the walls in France, in order to call all the male citizens to the armies. This is a strange flyier for a terrible flashmob... This picture is visually very well known in France, and one can find many "fac simile" here or there on the web. This one is an original, from the collections of the French National Library (BnF). I don't think it needs translation, but it could be provided if necessary. High size, and high EV IMO. Restored by me.-- Jebulon (talk) 11:57, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- You are welcome, I tell you:
  - -This is not a scan, but a photograph (see original file, one can find the link on the file page)
  - -Anyway, scans are eligible for FP candidacies, even "simple". (See the POTD of today 08/02, which is indeed a "simple (restored) scan" of a photograph.)
  - -This document has obvious lot of values, which is one of the criteria for FP (but you know this very well).
  - -The upload and restoration took me ages, and the human work on this kind of pictures is far much more difficult than any photography processing. IMO, the result is not so bad.
  - -Following your opinion, no historical documents can be featured here? Of course I can not agree.
  - -In France yesterday, at 4pm, all the tocsin bells were ringing in all cities and villages, and even all the bells of Notre-Dame de Paris (this is very rare), not because of the centenary of the beginning of WWI (08/03 for France), but because of the centenary of the put of this poster on the walls, which immediately changed the life of 4 millions of men. IMO, this is why this image is a FP, and not only a VI (VIC is for comparisons with other similar images in some scopes, not for valuable images by themselves, as frequently, but wrongly, thought).--Jebulon (talk) 09:55, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Hi Jebulon, thanks for your clarification. I strike my oppose, but I still thinking such works are not featured for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 12:10, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Hi Alchemist-hp, thanks for striking your opposition, but it was not necessary ! Im not sure I understand your opinion, but disagreements are normal here. You asked me about explanations, I was happy to provide you some arguments. I accept oppositions (yes, I do !) One more argument : we already had versions of this picture here, but the (original) quality and size of this one makes it maybe useful for many projects during the four 14-18 next years (students, historians etc...). This is featurable IMO, like banknote collections, or other 'only written' documents, when they have an historical or educational sense, and if technical quality is good enough for FP, of course. It was not the case of the original (CA along letters, tears, spots, pixellated bg etc...), but that's why restoration work is interesting to me. Thanks for your feedback anyway.--Jebulon (talk) 14:04, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I really want to support, but the fringe between the right mountains and the sky is suspicious. Is the sky fake? Also some issue on the left part, with double lines (look the sky, we can see a duplicate faded out mountains). There's a lot of processing done here, but something is wrong. - Benh (talk) 10:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Just for information, the green fringe (if you are referring to this) IMO is just a chromatic aberration. Three pixels vertically upward direction and three in the horizontal direction to the left, on the winding road to the left you can see both green and red (as was expected) in the opposite direction. The magenta ghost may be another aberration related to the dark areas of the picture and extends across the central visual field, but in this case is just a guess because it is outside of the expected area. Very consistent I do not think that is a edition. -- Lauro Sirgado^contribs 14:48, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is not CA. It's just to big for a downsampled picture (and I'm pretty sure it is). CA can be this big, but on closer subjects. We're talking about far away edges here. - Benh (talk) 16:12, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment IMO it should be rotated 90 CW. The "main" scene is at the right now, and the central figure is side way. Regards, 05:22, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

This file shows that in the middle of the room a rope with a chandelier hangs. For this photo I have chosen the single location for the camera, in which the cable is not attached to a person. And I had to make the compromise that the rope does not depend entirely vertical. If you rotate the image, then the rope does not hang down. If one chooses a location for the camera, in which the central figure is down, then the rope runs through the center of the face of Jesus.--Michael Gäbler (talk) 14:19, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean with "heavily distorted"?

Oppose lack of symmetri Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 11:13, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We say in German: "Grau ist alle Theorie." Please have a look to this file. The only location for the recording of a symmetrical image is located in the middle of the floor under the flying angel. But at this point depends on the chandelier. The chandelier obscured the ceiling painting.--Michael Gäbler (talk) 13:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No, you could stand so that the rope the chandelier hangs in, is in the midle of the picture and becomes the axis of symmetry to the picture. Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 13:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The rope then hangs in front of the face of the woman. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 20:53, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info multi-row panorama of RWE Tower in Essen. Note that shooting conditions als quite challenging (Category, Google Search). The only way to photograph the tower together with its lower building is the use of panorama technique from an extreme angle

Oppose I appreciate there are a lot of compromises to take. Here you have stepped back such that the geometric distortion of the tower was correctable afterwards, and I do think that aspect of the photo has been achieved quite succesfully. But at a cost: The power lines in the foreground sign etc are distracting and the foreground as a whole is busy and distarcting, and by straightening up the tower the foreground is also severely curved, and that looks really weird. Looking in the same category, I think it is better to either choose a completely different vantage point such as in File:RWE-Turm Essen, abends.jpg, where the subject is simply the tower. Alternatively, move closer to get rid of the busy foreground as has been done in File:NRW, Essen, Sudviertel - RWE-Turm.jpg (but with an unfortunate crop) and simply let the perspective be seen as it is. --Slaunger (talk) 15:58, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info High resolution of a famous French writer, precisely described and geocoded, exactly 100 years old now. Romain Rolland was one of the few personalities to vocally oppose the First World War, for which he received death threats, and had to leave Paris to settle in Switzerland. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915, after the publication of his pacifist manifesto Above the Battle. This year is also the 70th anniversary of his death.

Oppose Sorry – I see nothing but a very bright sunset with a lot of distracting objects before it. No idea what this picture wants to tell me. What is supposed to be featured here? --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 16:50, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've been wondering the same with many of the featured pictures, so you know, I thought why not this one? I guess landscapes and portraits always had a higher impact on me than buildings, flowers, photos of painting, and other photos of food. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 20:27, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I like the picture but the composition is not entirely convincing. The woman who sells drinks and snacks at the beach is an interesting subject, the evening light is beautiful. I would like to have more focus on her.--ArildV (talk) 21:03, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Agreed – the woman as such is not uninteresting in this lighting, but there’s too much in this pic to focus on any message that might be conveyed. Less would have been more. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 07:57, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was sure to support this image until I saw the 100% view. But the sharpness is not very strong. Florstein: can you try to improve this? I like the object and the image but with this quality it's not really a FP. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:11, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your attention and your generous attempts to support the photo, but I doubt that forced sharpening can help improve the image. --Alex Florstein (talk) 20:06, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - If you made this image as a RAW I would try it by myself. If you only had shot a JPG than I'll guess it wouldn't be to improve. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sharpen it or not, the level of detail remains the same. And it is, imho, good; not worse than most of us can produce. --A.Savin 14:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's good (and a nice dog). IMO the shadow parts are not disturbing.--XRay ^talk 12:32, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For me it appears the vertical field of view is so large that making a 'perfect' perspective correction is perhaps not so sensible?? Verticals are vertical, but by eye it appears to me that the tower gets wider and wider the further we go up (at one stage it actually does go out, but that is not what I mean). That makes the tower look disproportionate. Anyone else getting the same perception? --Slaunger (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The effect you mention is barely noticeable IMO. This candidate suffers much more of this "sickness". - Benh (talk) 21:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it is a little noticeable. Probably it is because the top of the tower is actually wider than the bottom because of the lip. I think our eyes look at the bottom and then the top first, notice the difference in width, and just assume that it has progressively become larger when actually it was the same width until the very top. It was perhaps designed that way to counter the effects of perspective but then when the image is vertically corrected, the effect becomes enhanced. Diliff (talk) 07:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support I think that is a good and reasonable explanation, Diliff. And the extra photo does demonstrate that the base of the tower is quite large. --Slaunger (talk) 18:20, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. It has quite unattractively blown highlights and it's fairly clear that they have been artificially brought back from pure white to grey.

Comment Although sharpness may not be the best because of some snow in the atmosphere due to strong winds (see upper right corner), I'm still nominating this because it was quite a lucky shot - actually working railway plows are hard to catch on chip, and in good weather even more so. The plow itself is also special because it's a "Spurpflug" (I don't think there's an english term for that), which can clear snow between the rails, below the rail heads. For that purpose it has small remote-controlled shields which can be raised to cross switches and level crossings.

Info Building found on a morning walk through empty streets near Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. Photographically a simple shot, but I like the framing, colors and light a lot in this facade, where the sun came in an angle which allowed the facade to be nicely illuminated from the side, highlighting the porous texture of the facade, which is very typical for buildings in Berlin. The building is used as a meeting room for 10-14 year old boys boys and girls by an organization called Alte Feuerwache (Old Fire Station), who (as far as I understand) does social work for children and young people. (German editors please correct me, if I am wrong). Although I do not (yet) know Berlin terribly well, this facade is for me very good at illustrating the atmosphere in this area of Berlin-Kreuzberg. --Slaunger (talk) 20:01, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info The Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station, in operation since 1924, is located in Kochel, Bavaria (Germany) and was designed and developed by Oskar von Miller (1855-1934). The power station uses the height difference of about 200 m between the higher lake (Walchensee) and the lower lake (Kochelsee) to operate. The water flows with a maximum throughput of 84m³/s through 6 pipes down to the Kochelsee, where the power station is located. The 4 turbines in the foreground are of type Francis with three-phase generators (biggest in the world by that time) and 4 of type Pelton with single-phase generators located in the background. The water flow goes from left (water inlet) through the turbines to the right where the generators are also located. All by me, Poc o² 17:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To me, it looks like the image has been upsampled (perhaps to give it the impression of being more detailed than it really is). I estimate that it only has about 3000x1000 pixels of real detail.

Oppose I could see what you were thinking, and it unreservedly deserves the QI it got, but alas it is not an FP. The composition is too awkward—we have that distracting shadow in the lower left corner and the tree is cut off. The evening light from the angle taken also has the unfortunate (and unusual) effect of flattening detail on the grass. If you are able to try this shot again, I believe you can improve it to a serious FP candidate at the very least by taking heed of the above. Daniel Case (talk) 19:29, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

thanks but this won't do it for me. As I said it's the subject which isn't suitable for this kind of shot. And the stair alone is not symmetrical anyways (you were not in the middle). So cropping won't fix it. Also I wonder if just going there early in the morning is not enough to get rid of the people. Incidentally this shall get you a better light. - Benh (talk) 21:25, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point but to be honest I wasn't targeting here a perfectly symmetric shot, which wouldn't be anyhow possible due to some elements in the water or even on the platform. You are also right about getting up at 5 o'clock to get there at 6 and take a shot without people. But, in this trip there was just no way to do that. Poc o² 06:31, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I'm not quite sure which photographic process was used, but many at the time genuinely were very yellow.

Oppose. As with most of your other HDR photography (which I assume you process in the same way), the histogram looks normal, but there's something a bit unaesthetic about the tonality and it's hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. I can only assume it's the HDR software/settings. But yes, on top of that, it is quite unsharp... I've tried to discuss this with you in the past but you've never responded to me. Diliff (talk) 10:48, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Sorry for not replying to a previous posts. I am using a cropped sensor camera shooting on an wide angle zoom EF-S 10mm to 22mm and this is the sharpest that I can get it. I don't know if it is a limitation with the actual lens, or if there is an error/damage with the lens or if it just me as a user end user. About the aesthetics one issue that is on my mind that might be a problem is that I have never calibrated my monitor, something that I mean to get around to doing as I could be getting the colours wrong. Postive criticism always welcome any suggestions to how I could improve my hdr processing are welcome. As for the sharpness issue, the Commons featured minimum requirement is 2megapixles and this image is 18megapixels, even if it is slightly blurry at 18megepixels viewed at 100%, do you think that if it were resized to 5megapixles that the image would still be classed as un-sharp if it were that size? For me at 5megapixels this image would be sharp and still be well over the 2megapixel requirements for featured photographs, thought that is my own personal opinon with regards to sharpness vs megapixel size with regards to this specific image Mdbeckwith
  - It does seem softer than I would expect from the 10-22mm lens. Some of your photos using the same lens look sharper than others, which is confusing to me. Sometimes one side of the frame is soft but the other side is sharp(er), sometimes it's just soft everywhere. As for sharpness if downsampled to 5 megapixels, I have to say, I just tried it and I still see the softness even at 5MP, although obviously it is lessened. The thing is, yes at 5mp, it would be well over the 2 megapixel requirement but it doesn't mean people would support it. Architectural images like this usually rely on good detail in order to wow. At 5MP or lower, it may not pass muster. I don't usually see any significant problem with the settings you use (as long as you don't get too much beyond f/11, you should be close to the maximum sharpness of the lens). I suspect the softness is either due to the way it is processed, or it is indeed a limitation of the lens. I'd be a bit disappointed with the lens if so. Most wide angle lenses are sharpish in the middle and soft at the edges but this seems to be soft everywhere. The strange thing is, detail is there, it's just that it seems to be shrouded in unsharpness. This isn't the least sharp image of yours though, I have seen worse. This one for example. Can you see the artifacts in this image, particularly in the stained glass, and in particular on the left side, how soft it is? The right side is not as bad as the left, and that tends to point to an issue with the lens. But then there's the HDR processing. I don't know if it's a monitor calibration image or just that you don't perceive the same image that I do. Some people actually like heavily processed HDR images, so it may just be subjective. But compare your Gloucester Cathedral image with mine, which is also HDR. I'm not saying mine is perfect by any means, but compare the sharpness and the tonality of the two images. In comparison, yours seems quite washed out and the stained glass doesn't look particularly vivid or realistic to me. Anyway, I'm sorry that this comparison is not about the image you've nominated, but I thought it would be better to compare an apple with an apple and I had an apple handy. Actually, it seems like our photography covers a lot of the same churches and cathedrals (here's a gallery of my recent images) so it is indeed interesting to me to see your photos, but almost universally I just find your HDR processing to be a bit unappealing and overdone. The only reason I'm being so honest about it is that I think your photography would benefit if you could had something to compare your images to. Diliff (talk) 17:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree that the apples to apples comparison with Gloucester Cathedral that yours is much sharper and looking at my raw images I am not getting my images as sharp. I don't know if the EF-S 10mm to 22mm is performing as best it can or if there is a lens defect. What lens were you using for your Gloucester Cathedral shot? Mdbeckwith
      - Don't compare the sharpness of mine to yours though, because I'm stitching multiple images together to create these images. I'm using a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM lens, usually taken portrait format and 5 columns by 3 rows (and 5 bracketed exposures), so a total of 75 images on that one. Yes, the sharpness is better, but the main point I was trying to make is that the tonality is also better. It doesn't look so HDR processed, even though I have used HDR tone mapping. It's a deliberate attempt on my part to retain detail in the shadows and highlights while trying to avoid it screaming HDR (which is usually acknowledged as a bad thing, except on Flickr!). Diliff (talk) 18:42, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose too much HDR --Atamari (talk) 13:14, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the only reason why I used HDR in this image was to get the stained glass windows exposed, if there were no stained glass windows I wouldn't have used hdr processing at all. As for the stained glass windows in this shot, I personally don't think they have been overly processed hdr wise.
  - I disagree. It's of course a subjective matter when it comes to what is 'too much', but as I said above, I think the tonality is compromised by the HDR processing. Diliff (talk) 17:34, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Poco, please add coordinates. As far as I can judge from the photo the light is very unfortunate here - you photographed against the sun?! It looks as if you used HDR as an attempt to compensate the unfortunate light here. The very bright clouds distract from the main motive which is completely in shadow. Nonetheless the scenery is very beautiful, your composition too - but not your shooting time. Probably you could fix some of the light problems with selective brightening. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Panoramic view of Desenberg, western view. The hill Desenberg, a former vulcano, near the village Daseburg is located in the area of Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the most remarkable landmark of Warburger Börde flatlands. The area around the top has a very special flora and fauna due to its island position.

- Comment Thanks for the review. IMHO a centered composition is the best choice for this hill because the landscape around the hill is quite flat and relatively boring (at least from a low shooting position). A centered position draws the attention fully to the hill and the castle ruin on it and shows how the hill slightly appears from the flatlands of Warburger Börde. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:14, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff. This is probably the most ambitious and high resolution image I've taken recently. It is comprised of 115 individual images, and totalling almost 100 megapixels in the final output. Also, there are no stitching problems in the image (at least, I'm pretty certain since it was taken with a panoramic head). The strange waves in the structure of the 'lantern' (the open space at the top) is because the cathedral is very old, not because of a technical fault in the image. I have only partially corrected the perspective for vertical lines because to completely correct them would result in a lot of distortion. -- Diliff (talk) 18:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is an example for Heisenberg uncertainty principle: You either kill the 15 mm crab (which can move incredibly fast) in their natural habitat to prevent her from leaving the DoF or you get her alive in a place where she cannot escape and shot 40 photos with the macro lense to get a reasonable sharp shot. No animal was harmed during the session. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 18:49, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In my opinion all votes emitted until now are invalid, because you had 3 or even 4 nominations at the same time open, and therefore this nomination was not aligned with the policies. Therefore I suggest to relaunch it, but I am not sure how this was solved in the past. I see no issue with the FPC above because it was just open for a hour, not sure about this, though. Poc o² 19:11, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I thought the two previous were already dead after the overall judgement. Especially this second nomination of the crab was an alternative to the square version because of the crop objections. I did not knew how to place an alternative version. Apologies, it was not meant to flood the FPC. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 19:26, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If we understand it as an alternative placed in the wrong place, then it is ok, I guess. Still, you have a lot of examples of how to place alternatives, you can always look up what others do. It is usually enough to create a subsection in the nomination titled "Alternative" and place there the new version. Poc o² 23:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

      - Yeah, I pointed this out in the nomination on EN FPC also and suggested it was the AA filter. I don't think it's because of the electrical lights though, because there's also jagged edges on the bridge. I'm pretty sure it's the lack of AA filter. Diliff (talk) 12:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        To make it clear, I was talking about the "zipper" lines (finally found the word after a good sleep ;) ), but the jagged lines are there as well. Not sure they really come from lack of AA filter as I lack knowledge of how the latter affects demosaicing (If someone knows, I'd be happy to know).

Support --Böhringer (talk) 14:19, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks Tomer T for the nomination. I like the composition too! I'm on holiday this week so can't see the raw files to check what the original crop was like but there was a good reason why I didn't include more at the bottom -- perhaps a waste bin or something similar spoiled the view, or the balance of grass/wall didn't work. In terms of light, it was taken at dusk so the the stone is dark like that and lightening it would be wrong (though, of course, one may prefer it brighter but that would require a different time of day). For the sake of honesty (Martin, Poco, XRay, Tuxyso, Slaunger and Böhringer) I should highlight that some tourists were cloned out. See original upload, and there is a "retouch" template". I don't feel the cloning substantially alters the subject (tourists come and go) but does strengthen the image. -- Colin (talk) 17:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the hint, Colin. I have no problem with that edit Poc o² 17:30, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with the cloned tourists here either. I noticed that in the file page history, as well as the adequate use of the {{Retouched}} template. Regarding the crop I did suspect there was a reason, but this is hard to guess as a viewer, who gets an immediate impression, so I will just hold on to my neutral vote, and if promoted (as it will likely be), I have certainly seen worse:) Have a continued nice vacation! --Slaunger (talk) 18:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Per a request, a nomination! :) After all, it's been quite a while from the time I participated here with some new stuff. Again, a panorama view from Norway - this time from a somewhat remote place in an island of Senja quite far north. Due to the difficult contrasty weather I decited to make the whole panorama from three exposures per direction. Instead of automatic HDR blending I tend to use just layers for the exposures for more natural (imo) looking tones and outcome. created, uploaded and nominated by Ximonic -- Ximonic (talk) 19:10, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Ximonic (talk) 19:10, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Excellent panorama. I'm not entirely convinced about the choice of using layers though, HDR tone mapping can look natural. Also, the sky seems slightly blown and quite colour posterized... I sometimes get that banding issue in the sky when I've been lazy and blended/stitched from JPGs rather than 16 bit TIF files. It may be worth trying to reprocess it? Diliff (talk) 19:22, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for review. I did a quick fix for now, maybe will see it again in the near future because now I have much more photos waiting for produce and publish. I guess they would be useful for Wikipedia from these 'rare' areas. --Ximonic (talk) 20:52, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not outstanding enough for FP --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I understand if the creator feels proud of it. At first glance it seems like an FP, perhaps because of that blue sky. But then you see the composition doesn't distinguish it from any other photo of the area, and then it occurs to you that the white balance is a little on the cool side. Perhaps considerable effort was undertaken in post to bring that sky out from something rather blah originally (been there, done that), and the creator or editor feels proud of themselves for doing so, And they should. But, composition aside, it has to be done without making the picture feel as overprocessed as this one does, if it is to be an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Large blown area on top of chimney. --Slaunger (talk) 20:12, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Slaunger, I look forward to the day when you write something positive about my photos. The brown color results from foggy air and the extreme bright illumination of the "Landschaftspark". The light of the installation is such bright that it massively affects the surronding air. Please take a look into other photos of the Category:Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord at night. In German this phenomenon is called "Lichtverschmutzung" or light pollution in English. BTW: I really like the remarkable color of the sky (which is not the sky but the surronding air) here. The small burnt areas are unavoidable - one cannot look directly into that bright light rings. Do not expect to get any details there at least with extreme underexposure. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Tuxyso, Remember this FP of yours, which I supported? That one had good exposure control albeit there were a large dynamic difference in the brightness . I just ask you to apply the same standard. I agree having small overexposed areas when the light sources are directly visible is almost inevitable for such a shot. But there are large blown areas here, and it looks pretty ugly to me to be be frank and here bracketed exposures and exposure fusion helps. You do not have to browse long in the category to find examples of better exposure control I do do know it is hard, but no-one ever said FPC should be easy:). Thanks for clarifying the origin of the sky. I do agree it is spectacular, especially that it is so orange.

Comment. Motion blur instead of focal bokeh isolates the subject from the background. Very nicely done. More contrast between the background and the rider's head and face might help, though. Note how the jacket, leggings, and wheels stand out starkly, but her face almost blends into the wall when taking in the image as a whole. I have to open the image at full resolution and peer closely to find the line of her forehead. Monochrome images are all about tone and contrast. Kbh3rd (talk) 04:21, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info A rare display of nine General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon from Fighter Wing Skrydstrup in diamond formation from the Royal Danish Air Force at Danish Air Show 2014. There are 30 operational F-16s in Denmark (and it is the only fighter air craft in service in Denmark), so this display constitutes a significant fraction of the entire tactical air force in Denmark.

- @Kbh3rd: : Thanks for your review. I agree regarding the sharpness. To be honest my equipment is suboptimal for aviation photography, and at the event I saw at least 100 aviation photographers with much better equipment. All the time I heard shutter sounds around me and tens of thousands of images were taken. What is a little disheartening is that although so many photos of probably outstanding quality were taken at the event, not many are freely available, and I am - as I write this - the only Commons user to have populated Category:Danish Air Show 2014, although the show had 120,000 visitors. An almost similar shot is available through Getty Images. --Slaunger (talk) 09:37, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selfoss has a drop of 10 m over a width of about 100 m. I was using a 64x ND filter to help create a more dynamic impression.

~~Neutral~~ Great panorama (maybe crop on top is too wide), but too much HDR for a realistic look. --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, I didn't apply any HDR technique here - the image is a regular single shot. I also didn't do anything "extreme" during the post process. Mood and lighting are pretty much as they actually were when I took the picture: very cloudy but not really overcast, misty, and diffuse. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 20:38, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I tust you and support

Support --Uoaei1 (talk) 18:07, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose I really appreciate your work, but this time I cannot make friends with the light. As far as I can judge from the photo it is a (near) backlit shot. The important part of the rocks in the foreground are in shadow, clouds look very bright (near to overexposure) and distract imho. When I look at the photo in thumbnail size the fist eye-catcher are the bright clouds and the horizon line but neither the water falls at the right nor the interesting rocks at the left. Maybe some local light corrections with PS or Vivezza can improve the situation here and can bring out the interesting parts better. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Hmm.... I like it and the mood and light, but I am not fully convinced about the wow and the composition appears a little unbalanced for me. I think there is a bit too much sky, and I believe the composition could benefit from a crop at the top down to approximately just above the light curved band in the sky. The harvester is somewhat noisy too. Appears that shadows have been highlighted a lot to bring out some details. --Slaunger (talk) 14:35, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The light curved band in the sky is like a halo over the landscape. I have given the halo some space. The noise on the harvester is ok, the noise is dust from the cloud of the crushed chaff blown across the field. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 19:23, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I cropped the file now on the ground and on the top. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 20:26, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I can imagine a picturesque photo, where the setting sun would be reflecting back from the harvester and that might be quite nice. But at a moment I am seeing, that main object is in the shadow, and that makes the image somewhat dull.

Oppose Very nice, but I think you killed the mood with the cold WB. And why the downsampling? - Benh (talk) 10:36, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Benh, I disagree about the WB. IMO it is not colder than the original, which is oversaturated and thus shows stronger colours in both shadows and lights (at least, I'm not too keen to go +25 sat in Lightroom, which would give me the same colors as seen in the original nomination, because that rarely is faithful to reality) some might like that, though... I can of course upload a higher res version, but two of the frames at the left are blurred quite a bit, unfortunately. --DXR (talk) 11:29, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. But it still has the cold mood and I don't connect sunsets with cold mood, so I don't agree with you regarding to faithfulness to reality (just because you go +25 on saturation doesn't really mean anything if we don't talk about where we start from). The original was pretty good, with only the banding issue and noise, why altering the author's artistic choices? - Benh (talk) 18:58, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support And nice metadata. So this must be one of your "quick and easy" ones, as it is 'only' based on three bracketed exposures contrary to the usual five. (Still, the quality is excellent). --Slaunger (talk) 19:32, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I sometimes use only three if there is less dynamic range in the scene. The other settings (aperture, ISO etc) are also determined by how close the relevant objects in the scene are (if there is something very close, I need to use f/13 or f/16for maximum DOF, otherwise more like f/8 or f/11 for better sharpness), and how bright the scene is (I try to keep the ISO low, but some very dark interiors need a higher ISO because the upper exposure of a five bracket set would exceed 30 seconds at a low ISO. And also I don't want to wait 30+ seconds per segment! The full panorama will take forever to shoot!). Glad that the metadata is helping you understand the images better.

Info Skógafoss is a southern Icelandic waterfall with a width of 25m and a drop of 60m. I took the exposure of 3s using a 64x ND filter.

But I've actually started to really like the special, very "northern" mood the cloudy sky evokes in combination with the misty, humid air caused by the waterfall's spray.

When I look at a candidate, if I don't ask myself "How did she/he do that?", "when was this taken?", "How long must have she/he waited?", "what kind of pocessing?", "what kind of rare equipment", "How fortunate she/he could catch this!", "How did she/he have the idea to take it from that point of view", "wow this must have demanded a long preparation"... then it's not FP. Otherwise, we might as well give away high end DSLR to everyone, and promote every pictures taken with them to FP. Again, just my opinion, and again my apologizes if it reads as too harsh. - Benh (talk) 12:25, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Benh: I didn't accused you of anything towards my person, no feelings hurt, but just remind that behind each picture there is a photographer who gives his best to the project.

Regarding this nomination, I can just just say that the picture does amaze me, that is the reason why I actually nominated it. The place all around, the khmer heritage and bas-relieves like this one are featurable to me.

Yes, it wasn't a complicated execution to manage the picture, but I don't live in Siem Reap and just took a walk to Angkor Thom to take this shot. Rather, I needed 3 flights to get there. Please, don't underestimate that effort in terms of time and investment, at least as long as we don't have a bunch of Cambodian contributors here, what I unfortunately doubt in the near future. Poc o² 20:24, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Case closed for the personal issues :) Just wanted to make it clear (and I as far as I can tell, you behave very elegantly on Commons, anyways ;) ). For the picture, and criterias to FP in general, it takes me a lot of time and ressources to travel to South East Asia as well, but that doesn't mean every picture I took there is FP worthy. But you're right that feelings can be hurt in such situation, and it's always a struggle to find a balance between telling all the facts, and not hurting people. It's much easier to support than oppose, and I feel I'm the bad guy when I do so (and not to mention I can "make enemies" for my self nominations in the future!). - Benh (talk) 08:15, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuxyso: It's fixable?

ArionEstar (talk) 13:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ArionEstar it might be fixable, but I think only in RAW. If you can provide the single RAW shots I can try to stitch a better version. --Tuxyso (talk) 15:03, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuxyso: How so single RAW shots?

ArionEstar (talk) 15:18, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ArionEstar: If you take a look on the resolution (7,139 × 2,320 pixels) it can never be a single shot. According to the EXIF data the images come from a Nikon D90 with a 12 Mpx sensor. Thus you need multiple RAW files to stitch such a pano. The image editing (processing of RAW files, contract corrections etc.) is overdone here. So I think the best idea is to take the RAW files, develop them in a reasonable way and stitch a new panoramic photo. --Tuxyso (talk) 15:24, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like very much the simple composition (less is more). The leaf in the foreground is a little distracting and I would consider cloning it out (although the dead leaf perhaps adds a bit to the meaning of it all, I am not sure). The flower looks not so good in full resolution, either soft in focus and/or oversaturated. I do not know if something can be done with that? Otherwise very nice. --Slaunger (talk) 21:52, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It may be that the image without the leaf is more perfect. I find, however, that the lonely leaf fits well to the symbolic monument.--XRay ^talk 07:48, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After giving it some thought: Your are right regarding the leaf. How about my comments regarding the orange flower? Also the reflections in the water look a bit strange - a little like paint brush strokes from an impressionist painter. Anything unusual regarding the postprocessing worth mentioning? I think sharpness is OK. --Slaunger (talk) 14:55, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advise. The orange flower is natural, there is no additional saturation.--XRay ^talk 15:23, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose There are a few minor problems, for example some CA on the right and a lack of sharpness (which is hard to avoid with ships and long exposures, I know). But the main reason why I don't think this deserves FP status is that the main subject is quite obstructed. Together with the long focal length, this weakens the composition in my opinion. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 17:49, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info The leopard anole (Anolis marmoratus speciosus in this case based on the location) is normally either bright green (male) or brown (female), but it can also change its color with mood and surroundings - a common characterisic of Anoles. This individual I found in a bush, in a village in the southern parts of Grande Terre, Guadeloupe, where I heard noise and found this little well camouflaged individual, which I guess must have been lurking for prey and/or defending its territory. It was difficult to get clean shots of the creature as it was moving fast when I came nearer. This shot is not perfect either as a leaf in the foreground slightly overlaps with the tip of its mouth, but I find it is mitigated by the difficult conditions of the shot. --Slaunger (talk) 21:45, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is a large very blurred area, which has to be fixed if possible (see annotation).

Comment I would like to support this but cannot with those smudges. Simply cropping them out results in a much less satisfactory composition.

Comment @Kabelleger: Sorry, I'm somewhat curious about your comment. What shall "now it's much less relaxing to run around with a camera and take pictures of trains and infrastructure" mean? OK, I don't know about the situation in Crimea *right now* (do you?), but I guess it is not much different from that in April'14 (after the crisis), as I was there and took several photos including such of trains and no one disturbed me. But well, if you prefer a development like in East Ukraine (by the occasion we may ask our still active Commons admin Butko who is afaik from Donetsk, how he is now...), it's of course your choice and there is nothing to discuss further. --A.Savin 20:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm sorry about my stupid and obviously misleading comment. I don't know the current situation in Crimea, I was just *assuming* that the security forces are currently much more twitchy than a year ago, which may well be relevant, since e.g. some bridges were actively guarded. I'm not at all trying to say that a situation like in Luhansk or Donezk is in any way better (in fact I'm deeply disturbed by what happens there). --Kabelleger (talk) 05:02, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Completely all right with A.Savin on the political situation and on the inopportuneness of such comments because comments call other comments in reply.

Info Seljalandsfoss is a southern Icelandic waterfall with a drop of 60m. Taking this shot was quite a challenge as I had to use a tripod on a very narrow pathway, constantly fighting the spray blown over from the waterwall. I usually avoid using my 17-40 at 17mm - general sharpness could be better and my ND filter created a very strange vignette in the corners, but here I didn't have any other chance.

Oppose Long exposures can make moving water look more like moving water, but there is a point after which it starts to not look like water anymore. That can look very nice from an artistic point of view, but it tends to decrease the educational value. So in order to be featurable, an image like this (imho) must outweigh the reduced ev through an enormous amount of WOW – which isn't the case here (again: imho).

Oppose The light is quite good, and I like the compositional aspect of the curved road leading to Mont Saint-Michel. However, I think the crop is a little too tight and the image appears a little soft in focus, especially on the buildings closer to the littoral water and at the edges of the photo. The FP bar for this type of photos is just a little larger in my opinion. I had a look at the file page, which was over-categorized. I believe I have fixed that, and also added a few categories of relevance. Still a good photo, but not quite FP for me, sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 18:15, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Dman41689 (talk) 06:08, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Info @Slaunger: - yes you are right, the building close to the littoral tower is a pity. However, I did not want to use higher f-stop, because as a result exposure time would have been extended -> this was a no-go, because it was quite windy and my tripod was not as stable as it should have been ;-) But I think the details of the main subject - the abbey - are well focused. Thanks for helping with categories!!!
Oppose. I don't think the white balance is set correctly, it seems too greeny yellow tinted to me. The middle is reasonably sharp but it becomes quite soft around the edges. There would be no benefit in using a smaller aperture (higher f-stop) as it would have just made the image less sharp. Most lenses are sharpest at around f/8 and start to become diffraction limited from f/11 onwards (with an APS-C sensor such as the NEX-5N's). I think the issue with the softness is primarily down to the lens and not the settings. Diliff (talk) 10:41, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Diliff: is downsampling an option? BeBo86 (talk) 11:06, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well it's an option but not a good one because it doesn't fix the problem, it just hides it. I know we can sometimes be critical of an image's sharpness at 100% and be less critical of a downsampled image that has the same real level of detail, but I don't think that downsampling is the right way to think about the problem. Diliff (talk) 11:58, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree. That's why I did no downsampling. I can not change the behavior of my lenses. If 1000€ equipment is not sufficient for FP (at least in this case) I have to live with that ;-) BeBo86 (talk) 12:14, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree with the comments of Diliff. Don't go down the downsampling path - it does not lead to real improvements, but often loss of information. --Slaunger (talk) 17:40, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Downsampling does not necessarily yield loss of information, as most of the data in picture is made up from interpolation (which is why Slaunger said "often loss", but even this is exaggerated IMO). Moderate downsampling probably won't remove actual data in many many cases. Anyone familiar with image or signal processing to help sort this out? In any way, I don't think it solves the pb either. If someone judges an image by its sharpness when viewed at 100%, then she/he is the problem. - Benh (talk) 09:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm not going to go off-topic (again) in detail on this but I disagree with Benh. The complex "interpolation" involved in Bayer-sensor demosaicing does not mean downsizing is a "no loss" image improvement technique. And photography isn't a data capture activity anyway (consider bokeh, or the pleasing grain in certain b&w films). -- Colin (talk) 09:54, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Info Slaunger, Diliff, Benh, Lauro Sirgado thank you all for your comments. I took everything into consideration and decided to upload another version with better sharpness Done, improved white balance Done, wider crop Done and (slight) perspective correction. Hope you like it (even if there is a shade in the foreground) :-) BeBo86 (talk) 15:15, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As I have also commented on your talk page, I do not think it is a good idea to introduce a completely new image in the same nomination. Dman41689 has voted support, but that is for an entirely different image, and that is very confusing. Therefore if you think your original version will not pass the review, you should rather upload your new candidate under a new file name, revert the replacement in this file, and then withdraw this nomination. Once you have withdrawn you are allowed to nominate the new picture and start out fresh. At the same time you will also comply with our policy Commons:Overwriting existing files. It is of course great if you have found the feedback contsructive and that this has given rise to the introduction of another candidate, which addresses the issues raised. --Slaunger (talk) 20:52, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Slaunger: this can be a focus's effect or not.

ArionEstar (talk) 20:22, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ArionEstar: I doubt it. My guess is, it is the result of a selective background blur in postprocessing (which is sensible for getting good bokeh) gone haywire. I doubt it is present in the raw file. I think it can be salvaged by reprocessing the raw file. --Slaunger (talk) 20:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment On several occasions I have encountered the same problem. I will try to solve the problem this weekend, however, it would be interesting for someone to show the way of how to solve it. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 14:02, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@The Photographer: My method is very simple-minded, I just mask the background and apply a selective Gaussian blur of modest radius. I usually do not get any posterization from that method. If your raw is posterized, I have no idea how to solve that. (Is it?) --Slaunger (talk) 19:20, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mixing in a little of the original noise should, in theory, fix all banding issues. I highly doubt that the RAW has banding, because banding doesn't exist if there is noise (which is why a little noise is a good thing and adds information), and a camera producing a RAW without any noise at all would be new to me. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 21:53, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Slaunger: Thanks for the comments, nice review Julian. I've been looking for different ways to solve the problem, however, add Gaussian blur is exactly what I did and what I think caused the posterization. I Rebuilded from RAW. I have added more information on this, please let me know if it is well --The Photographer (talk) 02:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You new edit is better, although it still has a little pixelation. I usually find for photos taken with my camera, that if I use a pixel radius of 5 in the selective Gaussian blur, I normally avoid the banding effect. I actually just tried that out on your unaltered version below, and I ended up with banding at approximately the same level as in your new edit. Then I tried again with a radius of 3, and now the banding has gone and the background remains slightly noisy as mentioned by Julian. I can upload it over any of the version, if you would like to see it? You can just revert if 'no me gusta' :-) It is not revolutionary at all but something a little in between your two versions now, and it is close to (if not) nitpicking. --Slaunger (talk) 21:51, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just stroke my conditional oppose as the banding/pixelation has improved to a level, where I do not object to it. --Slaunger (talk) 21:55, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Simply do it, please!! --The Photographer (talk) 22:21, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Parallel and long discussion about the optimal pixel size of panoramas

- Info It's a stitching of 3 vertical (hand-held) images (I've added background information and Pano template to the image description) to increase detail sharpness and to avoid border unsharpness. I've used Hugin for stitching and as far as I can remember Hugin moderately downscales the output image which is imho eligiable to create crisp images with good detail sharpness and no problem due to the high resolution. I made some final, very subtle local (on the church building) brightness adjustments with Viveza from NIK filters. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:33, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Tuxyso: Hugin does nothing you doesn`t tell it before. You can scale the output image just the same way like in PTGui for example. So if Hugin downscales your pictures then something's "wrong" with your prefs. My tip: try to stitch the pano with the highest possible settings (compression, resolution...) and if downsampling is necessary do it in the final past processing. regards mathias K 06:09, 21 August 2014 (UTC).[reply]
    - Sorry mathias but you are wrong. Hugin downscales the output image to 70% (per default!). You can surely change it, but if you take a look e.g. at this newsgroup post there seem to be good reasons for a slight downscaling regarding lens/sensor limitations. You never archive the full sensor resolution (despite you own a Zeiss Otus lens) - take a look on DxOMark and compare different lenses. Thus it is no bad idea to keep the default setting of Hugin as it is. IMHO photos have to look "crisp" / sharp at 100%. Nearly every pano here on Commons is slightly downscaled and exactly that is the reason why panos often have brilliant detail sharpness. 13,9 Mpx are definitely enough. Your suggestion to do slight downscaling in past-processing (and not by Hugin) is worth a try - thanks for the hint - I will make some comparisation in the future. --Tuxyso (talk) 06:25, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - I see that newsgroup posts the old myth about the Bayer filter justifying a 70% downsample. Well a 70% downsample of a 36MP image is 17.7MP. Yet somehow the Sony FE 55mm or the Zeiss Otus 55mm both achieve a 29MP rating on a 36MP camera according to DOXMark. And a Sigma Art 50mm achieves 17MP rating on a 21MP Canon (which is only 10MP after 70% reduction). Lens quality, diffraction, sensor noise, anti-aliasing filter, software lens-correction, perspective correction, rotation, and JPG compression all result in different forms of image degredation. None of these lose information in quite the same way as a downsample/upscale process would. Lens resolution varies across the image (centre sharper) whereas downsampling loses resolution equally. The desire for perfection at 100% is just an artefact of how we look at them (click on the image and bang! 100%) and the culture of pixel peeping. An ideal situtation would be for the uploader to be able to set an best-viewing-resolution for any given image and the software defaults to zooming at that level. This would allow Tuxyso to upload a 20MP image and have the Wiki software present it at 14MP (with a touch of output-sharpening). This downsample-and-sharpen-for-presentation is how most photo websites work, including MediaWiki. Having said that, the biggest degredation with a stitched image is usually the perspective correction and rotations that can occur, which can in some (but not all) images massively stretch parts. While there's no point uploading a very soft/noisy image, I don't think asking for all our featured photos to be this crisp at 100% is a desirable goal. Please nobody think that downsizing 70% is necessary for FP. It is a 50% reduction in MP. I'd have had to reduce my A33 images to 7MP if that was necessary and I've got plenty single-shot images that are sharp at 14MP without resorting to Zeiss glass. Tuxyso, for modest stiches like above, I suggest you try a much more conservative downsample at Lightroom-export stage. -- Colin (talk) 12:22, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        I often save panorama with no downsampling in Hugin and get good results. Here is a 81mp panorama created from 5 hand held vertical photos.--ArildV (talk) 15:10, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        I use PTGui for my panoramas, which is very similar to Hugin in its options for generating the final output. Here the default is "optimal", which effectively downsamples to the level of pixel crispness shown here. I always change it to "maximum", which I think correspond to not downsampling in any areas of the blended photograph and then in the final stages of the processing (GIMP in my case) after rotating, tweaking perspective I have a look at the pixel quality at full resolution, and then try-out different levels of downsampling, if any. If I have used my 18-55 mm kit lens, which is honestly speaking a pretty bad lens when it comes to CA and other lens distortions, I sometimes go down to half the original number of pixels in the worst cases (example), whereas if the images are based on my better 55-250 mm lens I downsample much less, typically down to 75% of the original pixel count depending on field-of-view and ISO (example). That does not give me the same per pixel crispness as in the candidate here, but at the same time I believe the information loss is marginal, meaning it will be optimal for large scale printing (in the unlikely event, anyone wants to do that, lol) avoiding visible pixelation. I agree with Colin that there should be better options for reviewing at a fixed resolution, to discourage the pixel peeping. I once had a 35Mpixel nomination, not downsampled, with rather bad per-pixel quality, which I 'refused' to downsample, because information is lost. There was a long-winded discussion with many examples given for what happens with down- and upsampling, which might have your interest. --Slaunger (talk) 15:33, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Ha ha! I argued the opposite way three years ago! I agree with my old self that there does come a point when the 100% image is mush and we're kidding ourselves that it is worth keeping/uploading at that level. But with a good camera and a good prime lens, many people get excellent results with no downsizing at all. Slaunger, when you say "half the original number of pixels" I take it you mean a 50% megapixel reduction (i.e. about 70% reduction in each linear dimension). I thought Tuxyso had reasonable kit and so was surprised he felt it necessary to half his megapixels before daring to show his work here ;-) -- Colin (talk) 18:49, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Colin, actually I think you have been pretty consistent:) My nom was with a crap 2007 compact camera sensor. I did mean 50% reduction in the number of pixels, i.e. approxiately 71% the number of original pixels on each side. Yes, I do think that with Tuxyso's gear, there is no need to downsample so much. Information is lost irreversibly in the process in getting all the crispiness. --Slaunger (talk) 19:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Info Just for information purposes I've uploaded a full res version. It just confirmed my standard procedure :) I am not convinced with the detail sharpness there. If I click on photos on Commons they should look crisp even at 100% view (I know this point is controversal). Probably I will set Hugin to less downscaling when I take photos with the exceptional Sigma 18-35 f1.8 lens which I will receive today :))) I also compared downscaling in Hugin with Hugin fullres and output downscaling with Lightroom. I could not see any significant differences (despite the larger file size). --Tuxyso (talk) 08:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have fun with the 18-35! I guess you're the first one here to use one, but what I've seen so far is pretty nice! Imho the full-res image is still good and downsampling doesn't add value. --DXR (talk) 18:08, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for the review, Kadellar. My problem with the wider view is that the interesting city and background around the church distracts from the main motive - the church. From a documentary perspective I still think the nomination at hand is better suited than a wider view. The photo here shows St. James's Church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the wider view would be a different motive, e.g. View over Rothenburg with St. James's Church and surronding landscape. Probably I can do a further candidature with the wider view but I think the motives are too similar and some reviewers would protest against a nomination. Any opinions / suggestions on that topic? --Tuxyso (talk) 13:09, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This image is better, for example, for the article about the church, because it shows only the church, as you say (and because we use small sizes at the articles). However, as a picture, the wider view is more impressive. I wouldn't nominate the other, it would be almost "delist and replace". --Kadellar (talk) 13:17, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am perfectly calm, don’t worry (it takes much more to upset me).

Oppose - The narrow DoF that so often helps pictures of this kind doesn't work here with the orientation of the critter taking most of its body out of focus. Compare to this bug where there is just a bit of softening at the end of the tail and one wing. There is encyclopedic value here in the fine detail visible in the head, face, and upper thorax. But one's eye expects to be able to see the entire creature just as well. --Kbh3^rd talk 16:56, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info A Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet taking off at Danish Air Show 2014. The F-18 is a seldom guest in Denmark, the last time it landed in the country was in 2009. This year it showed up at the Danish Air Show 2014 held at Air Base Karup with over 120,000 spectators (2% of the population). Probably because it is a candidate for a replacement of the existing fleet of 30 General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The two other candidates are the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. --Slaunger (talk) 18:14, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very good, but I would stamp out two spots (birds or whatever it is, see note). All in all the surface of the plane looks relatively soft. Did you apply some NR or is it due to shooting conditions (speed, Mitzieher)? --Tuxyso (talk) 07:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Very good shot. I also find that it looks like the noise reduction was very strong. — Julian H.^✈(talk/files) 09:06, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Tuxyso: and @Julian Herzog: : Thanks for taking your time to scrutinize my nomination. Concerning the two spots, I have checked with other shots taken in fast sequence, and I found that the largest one was an OOF mast and the other one is a small could (which looks a little like a bird). I have now cloned them out and updated the file. Concerning the processing of the photo and your comments about possibly too aggressive noise reduction, I have now documented the editing process in great details on the file page. I always do noise reduction in the raw converter, and here the default settings are one for luminance and two for the chroma noise (range 0-20 for both settings). I have incremented the chroma noise reduction by one to three in the oploaded file. I still would not call that aggressive at all though as the maximum is 20. Initally I had problems with blown areas on the white sun-exposed landing gear and a dark "belly" of the aircraft as it is in shadows in early afternoon strong sunlight. To counteract that I have gone down 1/3 in exposure, reduced highlights almost as much as possible and boosted shadows as much as possible in the raw editor prior to jpeg conversion to get out the details of the belly. Since it is ISO 100, this did not lead to too much noise in the shadows. I think that a modest DOF combined with a bit of motion blur from panning (not much though as the shutter speed of 1/400 s is still relatively fast) gives the washed out effect of the foreground and a little less pronounced in the background.. For me it helps separate the main subject from background and foreground. And it also gives a feeling of action. --Slaunger (talk) 15:27, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably you can try selective (only for shadow parts) noise reduction techniques for future shots. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:37, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Tuxyso: Thanks for the suggestion. I have a slight practical problem with doing selective noise reduction using my existing tools. The NR in my Canon raw converter works only on the entire image, and for my postprocessing editing tools (GIMP) there are no tools out of the box (as far as I know), except for selective Gaussian blur, which is a too primitive algorithm. I have read there are some GIMP plugins around for doing more sophisticated NR, e.g., separating between luminance and chroma NR using sophisticated algorithm. It appears they are not so easy to use, but maybe I should just 'bite the bullet' and learn how to use them. --Slaunger (talk) 15:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - The easiest and best solution for selective NR I found yet is the tool Dfine from the Nik-Tools (no surreptitious advertising, I really like it). By manual setting of control points you can include / exclude similiar image areas from noise reduction. Example: Without selective NR this photo would have excessive noise on the sky or the main motive had not been sharp. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:32, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Thanks for the advice, Tuxyso. It is a very remarkable photo you are referencing to, and the tutorial was very instructive and impressive to see. I am currently considering a significant upgrade of my editing tools and gear, and this is valuable input in my considerations. --Slaunger (talk) 16:17, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
