Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it's way below of the required 2 megapixels --Ivar (talk) 06:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support.

  •  Comment Thanks. Regarding the sharpness, it was a trade-off between depth of field (f/7.1 or better is needed), sharpness (lens is best at f/11), motion blur of the funicular car (1/200 s or faster is needed to freeze it), and image noise (less than ISO 800 is needed). There has also been some loss of sharpness due to perspective correction and barrel distortion correction, but I am pleased with the quality in general, and I'm glad you agree. I had to catch the 5:30 am bus in the early morning to get this lighting... File:Downtown Pittsburgh from Duquesne Incline at dawn.jpg is a picture of the sunrise 23 minutes earlier. (the EXIF data is 1 hour behind the local time because I forgot to adjust it for daylight savings time). dllu (t,c) 03:39, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Colin, it is incredibly rude of you to dismiss the hard work of others as "faffing around". On Wikimedia Commons, of all places, I would expect people to realize the superiority of free licenses --- not only for photographs, but for software as well. The reason for the noise is that the shadows were very underexposed. Take a look at the raw file and see for yourself. dllu (t,c) 01:40, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ceiling of Palazzo Barberini.jpg
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors
  •  Info The Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power is a fresco by Italian painter Pietro da Cortona, filling the large ceiling of the grand salon of the Palazzo Barberini in Rome, Italy. Begun in 1633, it was nearly finished in three years; upon Cortona's return from Venice, it was extensively reworked to completion in 1639. The Palazzo, since the 1620s, had been the palatial home of the Barberini family headed by Maffeo Barberini, by then Urban VIII, who had launched an extensive program of refurbishment of the city with art and architecture.Dedicated to Jebulon, you love these bees (Of course you are free to oppose, it isn't said that my bees were shooting well!).

What exactly is interesting on that? --Hubertl 22:38, 26 November 2015 (UTC) [reply]
 Comment Sting Please show me where is the CAs in order to correct them. During raw process I tried to minimize any CA. But the lens used, Nikon 50mm/f1,8 usually don't give CAs. In this boat were around ~150 people, and the majority of them where families with women, kids and also babies. I you want to see demographics (men/women) of refugees influx you have to search for specialized reports. This boat (it is not visible) it is overcrowded inside with people.. and usually women and babies are travelling inside. For example in this video [4] you can see scenes from an inflatable boat arriving to Greece. All the women sit down, in the middle of the boat, "for safely reasons" and visible in the footage are only men sitting at the edge of the boat. But you can see also a kid there 00:35. Ggia (talk) 11:31, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for those information! I indicated now the few visible CA by annotation. I slightly modified the text of my vote above because it might be misunderstood: it's not the few CA or the focus that make me consider your image not as a FP but as a QI, but the composition. Sting (talk) 15:04, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Sting I don't it is right to criticize composition here. This is not an artistic shot, but photo-journalism. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:13, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I tried to upload a more enhanced version. Yann I agree partially with the comments of Sting. May-be this photo is not a good candidate for a Word Press Contest.. but neither the majority of the featured pictures here will get a National Geography award if they will be nominated to a corresponding contest. From the composition point of view I like in the foreground the man with the yamaha life-jacket rising the hand, the man swimming and in the background the overcrowded with people boat. This photo has enough technical quality but the most important is the content/subject. It has high EV, it enough descriptive and making it a featured picture will make it appear in the front page of commons (and may-be more people will be aware about the refugee issue).

    • We have at least three FP of the Neuschwanstein Castle taken from the same point of view...--Jebulon (talk) 12:14, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not taken in the same hour on the same day by the same photographer with the same camera. Please, Jebulon, take this to the FP talk page and get some consensus for your view, which seems to be in the minority. I would rather, however, that nominations were created with just one photo that the nominator believed at the time to be the finest. Let's get some rules defined, rather than arguing on every nomination about what "alternative" means. It absolutely is an alternative. The question is whether we think it is acceptable, and that should be settled by consensus rather than disrupting individual nominations. -- Colin (talk) 13:55, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I personaly take several pictures (at least 4 or more) and chose the best when I nominate(d) here, I think everybody could do the same. Otherwise, I will nominate here ad absurdum all the pictures-of-the-same-place-taken-by-me-at-the-same-time-with-the-same-camera as alternatives. I have a superb collection of boring landscapes to submit. Or series seen in QIC. Please be serious and help in making FPC a bit more strong.--Jebulon (talk) 16:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well I agree with you, Jebulon, that we should not nominate multiple images when creating the nomination. So on that count, I think the nomination of two images here is wrong. The nominator should seriously consider which they think is best (and ask for opinions prior to nomination if not sure). But we should establish that rule by consensus on FP talk if we expect people to respect it. For after-nomination alternatives, that come as a result of review comments, I don't see how "I prefer your head/shoulders portrait" is any different to "I prefer if cropped to just head/shoulders". I mean, Diliff could create a dozen crops of his megapixel cathedrals and nominate them all at once for us to pick between if he wanted to, just as someone could bore us with a dozen slightly different frames taken of the same subject. So the potential for disruption is there no matter what one's definition is. Let's take this to FP talk. Nobody wants a weak FPC or to allow people to bend the rules in their favour. We could simply ban alternatives altogether. -- Colin (talk) 20:01, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can photograph it however you want. I'm just saying that it doesn't work for me, not that you should fix it to please me (there are already more supports than my one oppose). If other people like it more than me, fine, and it might get to FP that way ... it's not my place to stand in the way.

 Question - I'm not nearly the serious photographer most of you are, and this is the first day I've voted for or against promoting any files to Featured status, so I'll give my observations and then ask a question. First, I love the composition of this photograph. However, at full resolution, what I'm seeing is that the sea lion is completely clear, but both the near sand and the closer cliffs look so fuzzy, they're almost pixellated. Colin, are you saying that's a normal product of photographing at such a large file size? On the face of it, I would vote to oppose featuring this picture on the basis that it's so blurry at full resolution, but I'm holding back because I may lack sufficient knowledge to judge this picture adequately. Is clarity at full resolution not one of the criteria for promoting a photo to Featured status? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:28, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan/Daniel there's a kind of speckled hazy effect in the distance. I'm really not sure what it is. It doesn't look much like the noise on my camera. And ISO 250 on a modern FF camera shouldn't be noisy at all. Maybe Poco has applied some sharpening globally that has brought out/added to the noise, and the use of a sharpening mask might avoid this. My objection really is that even if this is noise, it is only visible when viewed from 30cm at 100% and at 100% on a standard 100dpi monitor, the image is over 2.2 metres wide. It could be printed at 240dpi a metre wide and you wouldn't see any noise at all. So I really object to complaints about noise at this sort of level in a huge 50MP image. All that does is encourage people to upload downsized images to avoid "pixel peeping" comments. The complaint about the background being hazy (whether focus or heat-haze or both) and whether that is good or bad is your subjective judgement. But I'd suggest you judge that aspect on the image as a whole, and not when viewing a 2.2m-wide image from 30cm. If you look at this link to a 3000x2000 6MP version then perhaps that is a more reasonable size to judge. 6MP is enough to print at 240dpi A4 size. -- Colin (talk) 11:25, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It's a lot clearer at that size, though the sand still looks just a bit hazy to me; however, that could be because I already viewed the full-sized image. This photo has a great composition and I won't stand in the way of it. Overall, it is quite good at that size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:13, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Electronic cigarette: accu Segelei Mini Book 40W TC and vaporizer SvoëMesto Kayfun V4
Orientation is such that it could be seen the most important supply side. A completely white background in my opinion looks unnatural. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you rotate this anti-clockwise 90 degrees, the cigarette is vertical (is it is in use), the writing is readable, and exactly the same features are visible. The background here is artificial anyway -- it isn't an environmental shot. I think then to get FP with an everyday object on an off-white background, it would have to be technically spectacular photo. But I'd be much more interested if you could photograph this in some creative lighting. -- Colin (talk) 21:07, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your version is a better composition. I find it easy to move my eye around the picture frame in your version, but not the other one. However, by reducing the light, did you make a version that inaccurately represented how the scene actually looked? Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:43, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Info We had the same issue with another picture (File:Silver Wind bay of Kotor 2.jpg)... I agree with Ralf Roleček : his version is nice !

  •  Support - For whatever reason, the full-sized photos aren't loading on my computer, but I'm willing to support featuring both of these panoramas based on their great composition, beauty, view at the size shown here and fact that they're both Quality images already. But shouldn't there be two separate nominations, one for each picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:47, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the two pictures are sufficiently related to each other by theme, so it makes sense to nominate them as a set. From the guidelines for set nominations, it's acceptable to nominate a set """If a group of images are thematically connected in a direct and obvious way""", for example, """A sequence of images showing the passage of time.""" And yes, it is a known issue that the 200 megapixel image takes a long time to load and may crash some browsers. dllu (t,c) 07:01, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I really don't think that a stone wall is a good subject for FP. Also, the sharpness is not good. Brick walls are commonly used to test lens sharpness, and many lens review websites use similar pictures to compare lenses. Most decent prime lenses fare better than this. A tripod and f/8 would be needed for a sharp image from corner to corner, especially as the scene is not planar and this lens seems to suffer from some field curvature. dllu (t,c) 07:33, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

      •  Neutral My big problem with the images is that he black part of the body is just black, no texture is visible. I don't have your experience in underwater photography, and maybe I'm asking for too much. But in order to vote support I have to answer the question why FP? Is the colors and the composition outstanding? I'm not sure. Is the quality outstanding? Not as far as I understand, but I could be wrong.--ArildV (talk) 01:05, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thank you for the response, ArildV, and for giving me the opportunity to explain. The black portion of the body is actually described in RS as a deep black dorsal surface with yellow-tipped papillae, the latter of which is the texture. Remember, it's only 1-1/2 in. to 2 in. long. The image is a perfect example of the species, not to mention a rare shot of it swimming in the water column. The bokeh effect draws your eye to the subject which is what it's supposed to do. Google images of a golden-tipped flatworm swimming and see what comes up. Try to imagine being 40 ft. deep with a 30 lb. tank strapped to your back, a mask on your face, a regulator in your mouth, fins on your feet, and there's a 1 to 2 knot current pushing at your back. Some photogs use reef hooks in such an environment, but I was untethered. The camera's inside a bulky u/w housing with a pair of long-armed strobes attached. The viz is a bit murky and the lighting sucks. You see a tiny little black object coming toward you. You don't know if it's debris or fish poop. You realize it's a critter, but when you try to approach, it swims away. You outmaneuver it because you sure as heck can't out-swim it. You need the strobes set at 5500k to replace the color spectrum that was lost at 33 ft. You're also dealing with light refraction in the water so you have to be at just the right distance from the subject. You don't get to take continuous shots for stacking, no bracketing, no dynamic ranging, no tripod, your f-stop is 3.8, ISO 50, speed 1/500 sec. You need to get close enough to light that little booger without backscatter or blowing out the whites, yet not so close that you lose what little depth of field you have to bring your subject into focus. It's tiny and its moving, and so are you. I got the shot complete with its small, ear-like pseudo tentacles (each about an 1/8 in) in the middle of the anterior end. 😊 Atsme 📞 04:16, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I agree with Colin and Hubertl about the lighting. The technical quality is okay, but not excellent for an architectural photo such as this. The photo has noise in the sky, and is not very sharp -- probably there was some vibration in the tripod during the 30 second exposure (the star trail in the middle top is further evidence of camera shake). The picture is noticeably over-sharpened: see the black edges around the bright tree leaves on the left and the white halos around dark buildings and trees in the background. There are some ways that the composition can be improved too. For example, the green railing on the bottom left should not be part of the frame. dllu (t,c) 00:40, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lepitopterist on field works
 Comment I consider this a good environmental photo, that shows scientist in action (read: lepidopterist in his natural habitat). Quality of the image is definitely good and it has a fine size. Composition is good. It is certainly interesting and (at least for me) it clearly has wow. Focus is set to the person (i.e. the subject is in focus). I see no reason for everything else to be sharp as well as it would not help the man to stand out that easily and would not give anything new to the image. We could argue, that the image/main subject might be do dark due to the late hour when it was taken (likely at sunset), but for me this could be the only reason not to select it to be FB. But then again, this is just my opinion and everyone is entitled to his or her own. Kruusamägi (talk) 04:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose - Your reply is much appreciated, and I thought long and hard but have decided to oppose featuring this. I understand that deliberate blurring is appreciated by many photographers and viewers, and I'm often holding back on voting against pictures with bokeh that bugs me but doesn't make me physically dizzy, but I just don't get a "wow" from this photo.

  •  Comment - Please pardon me for being blunt, but this seems more a useful encyclopedic picture (ergo, Valued) than a truly artistic picture to me. I see the relative sameness of the houses, but I'm having trouble with the composition (for example, it is not rewarding for me to move my eye around the picture frame, nor is there a perfect rectangular shape for the picture frame, streets and houses, if you were going for that). Is there a particular compositional idea you had in mind? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:08, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Thank you for your comment Ikan Kekek. Sorry for late replay, I have been very busy offline. I think the photo is interesting, but I understand Daniel's opinion above. The photo is about this residential area from 1970 composed of two types of houses. It's also telling the story about how every house (once identical) has changed during 40 years. The photo is taken from a helicopter, with limited opportunity to compose the image or change lens (dangerous when flying with doors removed). Also for aerial photography you always have to crop some building and you very rarely get the perfect frame. But I don't think the composition is to bad, it is a straight street at the bottom, right angles to the houses. Artistic? I don't know. But most FP, unfortunately IMO, are just QI of nice places and locations Imo FP is and should be about featured pictures, not featured buildings or locations. I think this photo is a interesting images telling a interesting story in a unusual but effective way. But I understand if you disagree. Regards--ArildV (talk) 14:48, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Thanks a lot for your reply, and I totally get all your points and respect them. They definitely explain why the photo is interesting, but not necessarily, to my mind, why it should be featured. I guess the question in my mind amounts to documentation vs. artistry.

  • There is a slight "shadow" behind the statue against the sky. It could be caused by dragging the "details" slider on certain postprocessing software, but it could also be caused by manual burning. In any case, it's rather subtle I think. dllu (t,c) 07:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That was what I was talking about. Thanks for the clarification on how it can come about ... my understanding had always been that it resulted from oversharpening (of course, dragging the details slider too far is arguably the same thing by another name).

  • Thanks. It's a lot better now. I'm still not positive everything is straight even now, though. I'd like to support this, but I don't feel yet that I can. I think the problem is the big lattice mast on the right, which now seems to my eye, especially relative to the other one farther away and the placard, to be leaning slightly to the right. I find the composition adequate to support, but I take B137's point on "grittiness". I was ascribing it to rocket fuel exhaust, but close inspection shows it to be nearly equal throughout the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Help me with this a little. It looks great as a thumbnail and still looks quite good at the largest size that fits entirely on my screen, but the entire picture is fuzzy when I look at full resolution. For example, and I hope my choice of words doesn't seem insulting, but a lot of the stars look like blotches. I know you have very demanding standards in judging photos, so please give me insight into how are you appraising this one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:50, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Second thought, on looking at the Perseid shower photo again: I guess these two photos really are comparable in fuzziness at full resolution, and this photo does look excellent at lower resolutions.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
So you think that a picture of an animal in its surroundings is per se not featurable, because you take it as a deficient portrait of an animal instead of viewing the composition as a whole and treating it as a "Landscape with Lizard"? If so, that's quite a different aesthetic than that of landscape paintings, in which there may be human or animal subjects in the painting, but the natural surroundings aren't blurred so as to have a singular focus on the human beings (or dogs or sheep or whatever). I haven't read your previous statements about this, so pardon me if I'm misunderstanding. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:49, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I should say that I don't mean to suggest you are "wrong", only to understand your aesthetics and criteria. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:03, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for asking for clarification. No, I don't think that pictures of animals in their natural surroundings are inherently unfeaturable. It's just that the details of the environment included are on many occasions at odds with an image that meets the FP aesthetic criteria. Especially when the animal's camouflage or whatever is shown to be partially working ... an image where the putative subject blends into the background is going to be one where you have a hard time seeing the subject. Daniel Case (talk) 06:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. I might even agree with you if the camouflage were so effective I really had trouble seeing the animal, such as would be the case with a leaf insect. In this case, I think the contrast is sufficient for the lizard to be pretty easily visible, but I definitely understand your point of view. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:58, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose I think this would be better as a horizontal composition rather than square, and with the lizard more close-up, especially as his position and look toward the camera is very nice. He just gets a bit lost in the middle there. INeverCry 23:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I'm really frustrated by the opposition to this photo, as I consider it a good composition and I feel like the rest of you (maybe all of you) prefer photos that merely document a creature clearly and blur everything in the middleground and background unnaturally for that purpose. I don't expect to convince anyone with my comment, but I'm blowing off steam here because of the number of photos of the type I describe that come in for so much praise and support here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:59, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ikan Kekek, I think you are right to challenge when you think reviewers are being too conservative in their thinking or stuck only thinking a certain kind of image is best or are perhaps just following a fashion. Sometimes, perhaps, a more unusual arrangement is more difficult to pull off successfully. The professional photographers make it look easy, but their failure-rate is high too. Reviewers can also be wildly inconsistent yet more likely to defend what they wrote than reconsider it. -- Colin (talk) 20:41, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done Thanks for the hint. --Hockei (talk) 10:12, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I like this new crop a lot more. The lizard looks like he's posing, and the foliage now frames him and is more clearly of secondary importance as it should be. INeverCry 07:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I do, too. I'm not sure I agree that the foliage is of such secondary importance for the composition, given the way I move my eye around the picture frame; I just think the composition is better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:37, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Complimentary is probably closer to what I mean. INeverCry 08:58, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely. And as you said, with very good framing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:04, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
