Monks and students on the bottom deposition. Fresco in the Giotto (giottesco) manner by anonimous painter beginning XVI century.
  •  Comment - Other than that they're presumably painted by the same person/people in the same style as part of the same commission and one is on top of the other? I don't know how familiar you are with the conventions of Gothic painting, but it's absolutely normal for different scenes to be part even of the same painting. Using post-Gothic standards of compositional unity for Gothic painting is anachronistic. To be sure, each scene should have compositional unity within itself, but that's very often the limit in this style. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:37, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- Paris 16 (talk) 17:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm afraid I must oppose this because it is not just restored but considerably lightened and contrast-enhanced vs the original. I would like to know what changes were made. I think you are trying to compensate for the yellowing of the linen sheet but you have also made the other colours (pink, blue, green, brown) much lighter too. I am not convinced that all colours would darken (some may even have faded and be more vivid in the original). Perhaps we should stick to removing obvious blemishes rather than trying to emulate what you think it might have looked like when new.
Also, Paris 16, I think best practice for restoration is that you first upload the original as either TIFF or PNG (I've done this now here). Then you should upload your restored version as TIFF or PNG so that others may make derivative works without suffering from lossy compression issues. Then upload a JPG for others to easily use, preferably with modest compression to help folk download large files. I uploaded the original as a JPG here with Photoshop compression 11 that is about 60% the size of your JPG. I suspect yours was saved at compression 12 (minimal compression), generally considered overkill and wasteful as it is visually indistinguishable from level 11. I've added {{Retouched}} template to your JPG and I think you should add details of what changes you made to the template parameter. I don't think it is educationally honest for us to present files like you did and claim the source is the National Library of Australia when in fact the image here is not same (I have appended a note to the Source entry on your JPG's page). We are fundamentally an educational media repository, so I think these aspects are essential for all our work, and required at FP. -- Colin (talk) 20:18, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank Colin! But I can't upload the original TIFF file. It's always "not verified".--Paris 16 (talk) 05:40, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I got the same error with the TIFF. Wondered if it was just because it took so long (or my PC was busy). Since it was only 8-bit TIFF, I saved it as PNG, which was smaller so I uploaded that instead. -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is a gorgeous place/photo for a Swede, maybe it's a cultural thing. 'Dynamic' was a bit of a pun since it's a power station but I was referring to effect you get from the angled slope intersected by all the vertical lines in the photo. Placing the house in the middle is nicely balanced by the clearing of trees it is situated in. --Cart (talk) 17:12, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per Benh "Misleading banks on both sides". On Google Maps, and presumably reality, the bank is flat, not 90°. Which, on an educational media repository, is of some importance. It is a shame you opted for yet another 180° panorama since, as Benh notes, there was certainly an opportunity to make a composition with the dancing blurred boats and a portion of the city. -- Colin (talk) 17:01, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Baroque garden, Drottningholm
  • I can't be 100% sure, but to me it looks like this window has a layer of UV and light protecting film installed. It is very common here since the sun is so low most of the year, that the direct sunlight straight in from the windows will damage (bleach) the old wallpapers and art in the rooms. Naturally the film can't be cut to exactly match very old window frames so there will be some part of the window without coating and it will look like whiter borders. If you Google "solskyddsfilm", the Swedish word for it, you will get hundreds of companies offering to install it. Regarding the shadows, I don't think you are allowed to bring a tripod into the castle and doing an HDR with just handheld is a bit tricky, so the shadows are probably what you can get with a single shot if you want the view to look ok. Photographing within an UNESCO World Heritage building is a bit different than shooting something from your kitchen window. The shot is made from the central window, second floor, between the two statues in this photo. --Cart (talk) 16:48, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think you are right about the UV protecting film. In Drottningholm (like in many historic buildings in Sweden) a lot of what looks like marble isn't marble but paint on a wood or plaster. // Martin K. (talk) 17:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @KennyOMG: I just reworked the edges. The turquoise bars where a strang side effect of the combination of CA-removal, brightening the shadows and darkening the sky in Lightroom, that went by unnoticed while uploading a couple of images on the last day of WLM.
    Anyway: This photo is a single shot, no HDR, no retusches, no cut and paste. // Martin K. (talk) 17:33, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • KennyOMG I think making an accusation of sky-swapping without informing the photographer (who is a long term and much respected photographer on Commons) is rather rude. And the "really noisy" shadows just tells me you are pixel peeping a 25MP image and possibly have your monitor set too bright. I don't see anything unnatural about the sky or any evidence of "overprocessing". Frankly this makes me wonder if you need to buy a better monitor, preferably a 4K one where you can't see the pixels without a magnifying glass. -- Colin (talk) 18:41, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Not the most inspired composition idea ever but I am wowed by the level of detail. I added an annotation where the sky could be improved. --Kreuzschnabel 15:35, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per Kreuzschnabel. Cmao20 (talk) 16:03, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't see why you have to support just because they are who they are. You should support based on other factors as well, I do not get why Diliff being Diliff automatically puts him above everyone else. Sure he is very talented and his pictures are good, but he isn't "easily the best". There must be some competition at least. Now back to this photo, I can see this being used on a postcard on the side. The town hall is quite uninteresting, I think the town hall in some random town in Massachusetts looks much better. Nothing seems so extraordinary. --Boothsift 01:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Pofka: It's called a hyperbole. This is so uninteresting that it can't even compare to some town halls in Massachusetts. It's an exaggeration. Second, if anything I'm getting from this, it's that you 1) are clearly a Diliff fanboy/girl and 2) can't tell the difference between featured pictures, valued images, and quality images. Who cares if this is the best image in the category, I can make any category and upload all blurry photos. One of them will clearly be better than the others, but does that give it Featured Pictures status? Also historical is not really a reason. A 30 million year old rock is still a rock. A historical boring town hall is still a boring town hall. This isn't quality images nor valued images, there must be some wow. There's probably tons of more interesting buildings in Lithuania than this non notable town hall. --Boothsift 23:45, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keeping in mind that I believe delisting an FP should be harder than voting it down if now nominated: (1) Should be delisted. (2) Probably shouldn't be nominated for delisting, as it was unanimously supported in January, 2017. (3) Maybe should be delisted; I'd probably vote to delist. (4) Shouldn't be delisted, because of the fun composition. (5) Good quality and composition, no sound basis for nominating for delisting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild  Oppose - As for this photo, I just can't get excited about it. The left and right crops are somewhat random, as are the positions of the people on the left. It's a very high-quality image of this building with a normal sky and light, with nothing additional. I think if Mr. Iliff were here, he would say this is not an FP. I don't think it is, either. It's a very good QI, and if our voting that way shows that our standards for what should be featured are higher now than they were, say, in 2017, that's not at all a bad thing but due to the number of excellent exterior pictures of buildings that have been nominated here since then. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • None of the above listed pictures I voted for, so it's meaningless to ask me why they are featured. You can ask me instead, why I don't think that the Kaunas Town Hall should not be featured, but IMHO 'nuff said already. --A.Savin 22:04, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think any of those should be Featured Pictures (except maybe the 4th one). This one is more of a contender for FP than all of those, to be honest. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 01:33, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Pofka: Please do not tag people for no reason at all. At least check the nominations before accusing us of having double standards. Does any of the nominations you listed even have my vote? How do you know that I would support them? Stop with these accusations. I want more recognition? If I wanted more recognition, I would simply have pinged everyone, wrote in all bold and italicize, increased the font size, made sure all my words were all capitalized, maybe even write change colors every letter. You need to stop making false assumptions and stop accusing people of doing things they did not do. --Boothsift 06:56, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Okey. Let's start denomination process then because we have higher standards now and according to comments almost none of these images should be FPs, so I'm kind of interested how this will sort out in reality and if the same standards will be applied to them as well. -- Pofka (talk) 10:49, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - You won't be held to that (you have the right to change your mind), but as long as you continue nominating photos to QI/VI (dunno if you've ever nominated to VI, but that would be good), we have a better chance to see them and may ourselves nominate some here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:20, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in New York City, viewed from the 26th floor of Hudson Commons
  •  Comment - No, but unless you see something I didn't notice, that's the architect's fault. No reason to support a photo of a scene of architecture you dislike; I think that's a legitimate reason to oppose and might consider doing so, but without faulting the photographer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:20, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - That's not clear to me. I won't support this photo, though, because the view is of some of the ugly new buildings that have messed up the view of Midtown from New Jersey. Nothing much used to be in Hudson Yards, though other parts of far west Midtown had lowrise buildings, but at least it didn't mess up the view of the classic Modernist skyscrapers further east. I just really dislike the current period of architecture, and to be honest, most of the last couple of periods, going back to around the end of World War II, with some exceptions, but things have gotten worse more recently. Good photograph, but nothing I love looking at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speaking of the contrast, while we were looking around from this vantage we started to appreciate the grumbles of nearby buildings whose roofs and windows are now completely in a shadow for a big part of the day... :/ — Rhododendrites talk16:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • With your explanation, I can see what you were aiming at (I have actually taken similar photos myself), but the photo is too much of a close-up for those emotions to come into play. I think it would have worked better if you had taken a wider shot so that more of the abandoned beach and empty sea were in frame, perhaps with the wave line/shoreline tapering off in the distance. This photo does not directly convey emptiness since it's a bit full of chairs. --Cart (talk) 09:54, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Blurry, low quality and probably wouldn't be even accepted as QI now. (Original nomination)
  •  Delist -- -- Pofka (talk) 10:59, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Where do you see blur? The photo is by all means OK for QI and I see no reason to delist it from FP at this point, either. --A.Savin 13:54, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @A.Savin: Zoom in to the tower - it slowly melts with the sky with its blurry pixels. Other buildings have the same issue and that is simply because this image was taken 10 years ago with (now) outdated camera. Nowadays cameras captures even fastly moving objects without such shaky effect. -- Pofka (talk) 20:05, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • You don't need to teach me how to review pictures in terms of quality. Yes, of course I zoomed in -- truly at 100%. It seems to me, you are judging this photo after zooming in at far more than 100%; then it's of course no surprise to see blurry pixels everywhere; otherwise I simply cannot explain your statements about this and the one below. An other reason might be, that you have an old low-res monitor. There is definitely something wrong. And what can I say about your silly "double standards" accusation? Delisting a long-term FP is a bit different story than promoting a new FP candidate, you know? --A.Savin 03:05, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • At 100% almost every image does not have clear quality issues, except for such obvious reasons as poor lighting, fake colors, etc. If you did not noticed, everyone is zooming way more than 100% to check details because the 4 mpxs era is over long time ago. -- Pofka (talk) 21:10, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well, if you usually zoom your pictures, say, at 150%, then also File:Kaunas Town Hall 2, Kaunas, Lithuania - Diliff.jpg will appear rather soft; I've checked. So, your explanation is not logical so far; but in case you zoomed File:Toronto - ON - Toronto Harbourfront7.jpg to the same size as Kaunas Hall to compare, it's clear of course: 2,434 × 3,834 pixels vs. 4,983 × 8,000 pixels are hardly to compare. So, the correct rationale for delisting Toronto Harbour is not "blurry" (because IMHO there is a huge difference between "not pinsharp" and "blurry"), but "low resolution compared to what today's high-end cameras such as Nikon D850 provide". But the current consensus is that we should NOT delist formerly promoted pictures just because of their resolution of less than 10 Mpx. --A.Savin 15:31, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep This nomination seem just to be a reaction of disappointment after nomination of Kaunas Town hall has failed. Sharpness is ok here. I can´t see any reason for delisting and support the decision from 2013. --Milseburg (talk) 14:04, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Milseburg: Well there was a lot of talks about "quality standards" and others noted in your mentioned nomination that these images are even worse, so it is my duty to provide equality and see if some people's words are worth anything. -- Pofka (talk) 20:05, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep - I think I said in that thread that I might or would probably vote to delist this one (I don't remember which), but looking at it again, it's really not bad, and I think delisting should be reserved for obvious cases. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:05, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per Milseburg and what I wrote in the other delist. Feeling like people are applying different standards to your photo is frustrating, and it's often the case that we nominate something better than other FPs and it doesn't get promoted. It's not always predictable or necessarily fair, even, except that the process is the same for everyone. — Rhododendrites talk04:37, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Front View of George Washington Masonic National Memorial

  •  Delist - I think this one is not sharp enough, though well-composed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:07, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Pofka, I have no idea what you are talking about when you bring up "double standards". I certainly do have different standards for whether to support a new nomination vs. whether to vote to delist an existing FP. Yes, that is a double standard, and I think it's a justified one, because unless a photo is an obvious case for delisting, I'd rather we not spend the time looking at and thinking about it, when we could instead look at new nominees. You seem to disagree, but I don't really know what axe you're grinding or why. All of us nominate photos that don't get voted in as FPs, and in most cases, the folks who are nominating actually took the photo, so they should presumably be more likely to have hurt feelings when people find fault with their work, but most regulars here take things more in stride than you seem to be at the moment. I have no idea what you're dealing with in your own life, but if you're finding it painful or upsetting to be on FPC, taking a bit of time off to refresh yourself could be a good thing. No pressure, your choice. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ikan Kekek: When I nominate pictures or support nominations for years I also compare it with other pictures in the category. What chances this image would have if I nominated it now? It would be like 99% oppose. So how it can be "This is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (Featured pictures) and is considered one of the finest images."? With all that grain and blurry details this picture certainly is not one of the finest images in the Commons. -- Pofka (talk) 10:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In this case, I agree with you. But while it definitely makes sense to compare photos to existing FPs, if you're comparing photos with FPs from 2008, you should be careful, and moreover, you're always on firmer ground when a photo you nominate is either clearly superior to existing FPs and/or has some kind of extra quality that makes it striking or especially beautiful. That may not be the way you want it to be, but it's practical. We are never going to go through all of the old FPs and delist the ones that aren't up to current standards. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:05, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: Well, articles in Wikipedia are falling like autumn leafs from Good article / Featured article status, so why it should be different with Good Images / Featured images? With these arguments you just presented English Wikipedia would still have GA/FA about countries and other subjects articles where a comprehensive description is required with ~5 sections and a few references because it was fine in early ~2000, but nowadays such articles receives warning templates and might even be deleted. So when we have such clear steps about GA/FA denominations I see absolutely no logic to protect images which are absolutely not up to date with the nowadays technologies. This image is a very, very clear example of that and as I already mentioned to another person in this discussion: just try comparing sky in this EXAMPLE I took with my former 2012 smartphone in 2013, which produces quite rubish images nowadays, with sky in Front View of George Washington Masonic National Memorial.jpg and you will notice that it is a poor quality even for a 2011 image which was produced with a large sensor DSLR. -- Pofka (talk) 20:55, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: Different languages Wikipedias also have separate logins, however they all delist articles which are outdated from GA/FA status. FA: "DNA is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community." does that remind something? Text in the FP template says that "is considered one of the finest images", so it means that it is currently one of the best images here (which you agreed is false). There is a separate category called "Former featured pictures", which is way more suitable for outdated FPs. Article Commons:Image guidelines#Quality and featured photographic images clearly states issues that are unacceptable for GIs/FPs and this image clearly violates the "Noise" rule. -- Pofka (talk) 10:07, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Feel free to continue ignoring practical questions. This isn't Wikipedia and has just enough membership to pass FPs, and not enough to remove hundreds of old FP designations. For that reason, it makes every bit of sense to have tough standards for removing stars. We don't want to encourage people to waste lots of time. Except that you do want to waste lots of time. Now. Just because you didn't like one photo you nominated being voted down. Sorry, I know that sounds harsh, but that's how it seems to me. And I don't plan on spending more time in this discussion; I've said my piece. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:21, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak keep - not seeing any real reason for delisting. Delisting isn't for files that wouldn't pass today. It's also not for files that might pass on a Tuesday but not next Wednesday. That this passed but your recent nomination didn't might mean standards have increased, but can also mean that different people were there, or that too many similar things have been nominated lately, or that the wind is blowing a different direction, or it's just not meant to be. Delisting other images because of that just seems pointy. — Rhododendrites talk04:34, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Unapealing to go through the old FPs, if they still meet today's standards. If they did in former times, it should be enough, unless there is a clear wrong decision. I can not recognize that here. --Milseburg (talk) 08:57, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Milseburg: How can it meet today's standards when you can see "snow" in the clear summer sky? My old smartphone from 2012, which I do not use anymore for years, produced similar amount of grain (EXAMPLE), so I am kind of surprised that this image passed in 2011 and have such quality issues even if it probably was taken with a large sensor DSLR. -- Pofka (talk) 10:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Exactly what I said. What part of what I suggested was unclear? If you're already looking at existing FPs in each category, especially recent ones, before each nomination you make, I don't know what to suggest. It's clear that a bunch of your nominations are being voted down as below FP standards, right? So I'm trying to make a helpful suggestion that would help you avoid suffering the same fate repeatedly, but if it's not helpful to you, OK, whatever. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:52, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just reviewed your nominations since the beginning of October. You've made a number of terrific nominations that were clear FPs, and I was conflating some other people's nominations with some of yours. Still, there have been some other cases of nominations that were judged to be below standards or borderline. Anyway, I mean no disrespect. I've made at least my share of nominations that mystified others as much as this one mystifies me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:01, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ikan Kekek, I've been nominating pictures in the last few years, and made a lot of successful nominations. You can look at my user page to view all my successfully nominated images over the years, 349 until now, not many users made more successful nominations. Sometimes there are unsuccessful nominations, even one after the other, it's inevitable, and I suppose that the standards may have grown higher throughout the years. But there was some tone of contempt from your first comment indeed. I always learn from the comments on my nominations, there's no need to send me to browse through the tens of thousands of Commons FPs. And I can handle with unsuccessful nominations.

  • That's probably a significant enough change for you to ping everyone about. Maybe some people would disagree. I'd like a second opinion before you do anything, as I wouldn't want to annoy anyone. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:57, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well spotted Ikan! I feel silly now for not checking it better. This version has the signature in the upper left corner while it is in the lower left corner on the other one. Even if an artwork can be shot in different lights, I doubt it will move the signature. Since they are two different paintings, I think we can keep them both and I've changed my Delist to Keep. Also 'ping' 4nn1l2, who raised the subject on the FPC talk page. --Cart (talk) 08:42, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't look at the placement of the signatures, but I'm quite familiar with artists doing a sketch or sketchy treatment of a subject and then working on it again as a fully-realized painting. For example, we have at least 4 pastel versions of a composition my father then realized as a very large painting, and every version of the composition is different. I'll vote to  Keep, too, as this seems like a good enough picture to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Understood; thanks for the review. Personally I don't mind zoo pictures as long as it isn't obvious that this is an unnatural setting, and of course for some less common animals zoos can be the best realistic opportunity to get a high quality image. It is worth noting that both the other FPs of red pandas are also of zoo specimens. Cmao20 (talk) 20:49, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It doesn't change my sensation. I'll never support zoo pictures in FPC. This has nothing to do with whether I find the quality bad or good. Certainly are zoo pictures of rare animals and plants valuable and maybe important for documentation. But nothing for FPC in my eyes. BTW, I gave no oppose but a neutral. Although I don't like the background. --Hockei (talk) 16:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - No-one said it should be easy to shoot an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:19, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Of course you are right, and I absolutely did not want to criticize you, I just wanted to say that I (personally) feel that this image is excellent, even when it would be even better without the reflection. But because my comment is cryptic, I have crossed it out (but still support the image). --Aristeas (talk) 13:24, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

* Oppose For me, glare in such a static object in a public place like a church is not acceptable in an FP, especially since it can be avoided by something as simple as a polarizing filter or wait for the sun to move a bit and make a combo of two or three photos (it is after all a triptych, so easy to do in sections) to get the whole piece evenly lit. --Cart (talk) 21:57, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the info, I stand corrected on that point and I meant no disrespect. But surely a polarizing filter could be used even in a non-public place. Given that you have such a fantastic camera (I am really envious of it!), investing in some filters could be worth doing. I always keep some in my camera bag even if I seldom use them, they are handy to have at times. I have the same opinion as three users before me, yet I'm the one you chose to come down on. --Cart (talk) 19:28, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: I don't feel disrespect but IMO your comment was a bit, let's say "superficial" or hasty? That's the reason I "came down on you". You probably are not aware how difficult, well it is actually forbidden (I read the conditions to take pictures in the churches of Brescia and they made me feel a criminal) to take high resolution pictures inside the churches in Brescia and publish them on the Internet, for any reason, without written permission. I have a polarising filter, which was sold to me as one of the best (Hoya), and which takes away 2 aperture stops that are gold in such difficult conditions. The filter does'nt make miracles. Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 21:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, let there be peace. I have striked my vote and my comment. You are happy when I make superficial comments and fight for your photos but not when I oppose in the same way. Lesson learned. --Cart (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see a significant difference on the building below the one with the blueish light, not on that building itself, which looks exactly the same to me. In general, you seem to have reduced highlights on buildings that already were not very light and benefited from the additional light, not appreciably from buildings or areas of buildings that were extremely bright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - That said, I agree with the others that both versions are FPs. Play with the brightest highlights more if you like, though. You might be able to improve the photo further. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seufert organ from 1743 in the former abbey church in Ebrach
  • @Colin: I know the picture, of course. The rosette alone is not that difficult. If you take the organ into the picture it is always too dark because the church only has windows in the upper part. I have summarized three differently exposed pictures using LRenfuse. The smoothing of the edges of the window took some time.--Ermell (talk) 20:51, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Enfuse isn't the best program for HDR. You might be better off trying Lightroom's own tool (if you have a current version) but the best I have found is PtGui and then taking the 32-bit TIFF back into LR. If you want me to experiment for you, drop me an email with a link to the raw files and I'll send you back a JPG. -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I assumed this high resolution JPG was the result of a stitched HDR. Rather it is actually using the high-resolution mode of the camera. I think it is remarkable that one raw file could be processed to capture the dynamic range here. However, the actual resolution captured by the 24-200mm (equivalent) super-zoom lens is much lower than the 78MP presented here. Some effort has been made to increase the apparent sharpness, but at the expense of a loss of realism and too much NR. So, for this kind of scene, I still think "our finest" techniques are stitched HDR, and this image looks a bit too over-cooked for my taste. I think therefore my vote is  Oppose despite having some remarkable qualities. -- Colin (talk) 13:28, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • PtGui needs several exposures to generate an HDR file. I think it does a better job than Lightroom's own HDR . If you had taken several exposures (with exposure bracketing) then we could have tried this. As it is, I'm impressed that you got the detail out of the window on this one exposure. -- Colin (talk) 07:58, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's great quality and interesting, but I don't think it's outstanding in terms of either lighting or composition. It's just not a very exciting day in terms of light conditions, and the sweep of the panorama seems a little bit random. (For what it's worth I quite often have this objection to very wide panoramas, that they have no real clear focus.) Cmao20 (talk) 21:00, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support - I'm not as jaded as you guys. With a panorama that extensive and sharp, I don't really care that much about the overall composition, because I'm too busy looking at the details and enjoying them.

  •  Weak oppose It’s hard to set into words why I think this is both fascinating and not featurable. Quality is brilliant, but then mostly per Cmao20 – there's no clear message here, this picture doesn’t "talk" to me, it just conveys loads and loads of visual information on a fine clear day. Might be a matter of taste about what makes an image "special", but since you asked for our opinion, well, there’s mine. The dark part on the left is a bit distracting; I think it would work better without that, though that means outcropping the Alps.

  • Frost weathering or more commonly called 'frost shattering' up here in the north during cold weather is a natural phenomena, but people here took advantage of the process before we had explosives. If you want to get rid of a big stone, you light a fire on and around it to heat it, and then cool it down fast with icy water, getting the rock to crack into smaller more manageable parts. Since this rock remains, it is a case of a natural process. --Cart (talk) 22:17, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The rocks in the gap have probably been placed there to keep it open and to prevent people from climbing onto and into the stone to take selfies. These rocks can rock/roll back and the gap gets narrower. You don't want to be caught in that. --Cart (talk) 10:56, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Midvinterblot (" Midwinter Blót/Sacrifice"), oil painting by Carl Larsson in Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts, Stockolm.
This is one of the most noted paintings in Sweden. It is actually rectangular, but it is almost never photographed or depicted that way since it was made for this grand hall and the artist intended for it so be seen like this, framed by the arch of the ceiling. It is also very tricky to photograph the full painting due to the architecture of the hall. Given how important the painting is, I was surprised at only finding murky shots. I worked with the TIF from Nationalmuseum since it was better and had more information than the Google art file. I think this is the best way to show the painting, with as little as possible of the distracting hall, but with some of the arch included for context. -- Cart (talk) 19:08, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Kreuzschnabel and W.carter: Thanks. So I actually have two uploads built from the same 10 frames, that one and File:Stata Center (05689p)2.jpg. I decided to use two different stitching modes, work on both images, and see which one I liked better. I didn't intend to upload both, actually, because to my eyes the proportions of the second one are closer to what I remember it looking like (the top of the first one appears a bit squished, and the end result is quite a bit smaller, too). But that makes me curious why the first one stood out? — Rhododendrites talk16:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Interesting place but that unsightly metal crate thing in the foreground is quite annoying, and I also think too much of the image is in shadow. I would definitely vote for the image Kreuzschnabel links to, though. Cmao20 (talk) 07:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - For this composition to work for me, I think you would have needed a strong somewhat diagonal cloud, going across and somewhat down from right to left. The other photo doesn't really work for me, either. I think it's quite challenging to get a really satisfying photo of this building, because of its own very unbalanced composition that needs a complement somewhere in the picture. I know many people won't agree with me about that because they think that Gehry is a great genius, and therefore, every Gehry building is ipso facto great and a fully resolved composition by itself, and it's OK that there are different views about this. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I kinda agree with you, great architecture doesn't automatically make for great photos, mostly because the buildings are so demanding themselves. It's often easier to make great photos of simple buildings since you can add to the scene through the use of a camera. --Cart (talk) 09:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I completely agree with you that f/18 is not a good choice, especially on an APS-C camera (I would have used f/8 to f/11 on a “full-frame” camera). --Aristeas (talk) 08:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Kreuz and Poco a poco, please, take a look, I applied a selective denoise and selective sharpening. f/18 because I was looking to keep the beach and the bridge in the same plane. Thanks in advance for your reviews --Wilfredor (talk) 00:30, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sharpness is a bit better now but you cannot regain details lost in exposure by subsequent sharpening. The water surface has not been done a favour by sharpening, and I’m still not sold on the composition. If the bridge is the main subject (as I understand), it’s way too distant and too little visible of it. --Kreuzschnabel 06:49, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Bridge is only a element in the composition, the title is Beach Horloge (in french). --Wilfredor (talk) 07:09, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Great improvement, much more relaxing to look at, but I'm sorry, I have to pull my vote from the other version and hold off here until it's clarified whether I'm looking at just wind or disturbing noise in the water. I'm talking about the small lines. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:09, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment How could this be wind? It’s on the umbrellas and in the sand as well. It’s sharpening artifacts – this image is hopelessly oversharpened in trying to save some detail from the unsharp shot at stopped-down aperture. --Kreuzschnabel 10:05, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Es war mir schon klar, dass du kommst und wieder einmal Gründe erfindest oder aufbauschst um ein oder das Foto abzulehnen. "tilted" ist es kaum und das bisschen kommt daher, weil bergab fotografiert ist. Es ist ganz natürlich. Das müsstest du eigentlich wissen oder willst es vielleicht gar nicht. Ich kann mich an Fotos erinnern, die viel mehr "tilted" waren und hier trotzdem akzeptiert wurden. Es gibt auch keine "JPEG artifacts". Was auch immer du da siehst, hat nichts mit "JPEG artifacts" zu tun. Eher wohl mit atmosphärischen Verhältnissen. Denn es war keine klare Sicht, sondern eher dieslich. Sonne und Regen im Wechsel. Daher aus deiner Sicht wohl auch "poor detail". Und, was heißt eigentlich "small image size"? Also, die Frage stelle ich mir selbst. Offenbar willst du irgendwie Kameras mit 20MP-Sensoren hier nicht akzeptieren, raushaben, schätze ich. Es müssen wohl mindestens 40 MP sein. Denn ich habe das Foto ja lediglich von 4:3 auf 16:9 geändert. Es ist also die volle Auflösung. Unglaublich. --Hockei (talk) 21:35, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Wenn du hier ein Bild einstellst, bittest du andere um ihre ehrliche Meinung dazu. Meine ehrliche Meinung habe ich dir gesagt, und es ist mir egal, ob sie dir gefällt oder nicht, ich sage das über das Bild und nicht um dich zu ärgern. Wenn genug andere dein Bild so meisterhaft finden, dass es den Stern bekommt, habe ich nicht das Geringste dagegen und gönne es dir. Was JPEG-Artefakte sind, die es deiner Ansicht nach gar nicht gibt, kannst du schön an den gelben Häusern links hinten am Ortsrand sehen, die in natura bestimmt nicht so vielfarbig sind. Und wenn die Schornsteine links im Hintergrund zur Seite kippen, dann ist das nichts Atmosphärisches und auch nichts vom Bergab-Fotografieren, so steil geht’s da wirklich nicht runter. Da ich selbst nur mit 16 Megapixeln fotografiere, wie du mit minimaler Recherche auf meiner Userseite hättest herausfinden können, sind deine diesbezüglichen Unterstellungen schlicht lachhaft. „small image size“ heißt, dass ich die hier sichtbaren Unschärfen auf einer 40-Megapixel-Aufnahme tolerieren würde, aber auf 15 Megapixel nicht, da erwarte ich von einem FPC bessere Qualität. Tipp: f/11 ist bei µFT schon sehr weit abgeblendet, da kommt es zwangsläufig zu Beugungsunschärfen. Ich hätte hier f/4 oder f/5.6 genommen, die Schärfentiefe hätte locker ausgereicht und die Detailwiedergabe wäre vermutlich deutlich besser gewesen. Und zu deiner Neuversion erfinde ich jetzt mal oder bausche auf, dass sie mir zu gelb ist. --Kreuzschnabel 12:12, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • You’re right that I was hasty in my statement. I want to apologize for that and have crossed out that part of the sentence.

  •  Comment Template:NoCoins suggests using a ruler like this. Feel free to nominate others from the category, most of those are photomicrographs, this one is taken with a different method. The image you linked is not from the same sample nor the same thin section. IMO both could be FPs. —kallerna (talk) 12:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • {{NoCoins}} isn't policy, just someone's opinion. A ruler or scale is more appropriate where the image has a background that the ruler can be positioned nearby the subject. Here the scale overlays the subject in a way that can't be removed. See File:Aluminium bar surface etched.jpg for example of FP with no scale and with measurement in the description. There aren't any other FPs where the scale is intrusive on the subject. -- Colin (talk) 17:17, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can I remind those voting against this one without the scale overlay that Commons is an educational media repository, not a publisher. As a repository, our highest value is to ensure the image can be used in the most ways. A book or website containing images of such rocks will want to present them in a consistent fashion with the scale either in the caption area or overlayed using the same font, size and colour text for all images. As soon as we put our own scale obscuring the image, we limit use, and limit language. The book might not even consider scale important to the usage. This image could also be used as a book cover for a book on rocks or indeed anything, but can't if there's a big ----1mm---- scale on top. However, Kallerna, you need to then describe the image dimensions in the body text, which should be a simple task of multiplication. -- Colin (talk) 14:13, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Oversharpened (strong sharpening artifacts in central part), sides still unsharp. Pity, it’s really a nice view and lighting and definitely has wow, but the image quality is too far below FP level. Sorry. --Kreuzschnabel 11:48, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per my vote last time. It deserves QI now, at least, but it is lacking in detail at full-res (see how blocky the grass looks), and there are visible sharpening haloes around the building. Additionally I still think it looks oversaturated, though not as much as before. It's a beautiful building but I think an FP of it should be a little better than this.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • I have no problem delivering photos with a greater pixel count than my camera's output by combining a few shots. It's quite popular these days, and most newbies don't know it could be useful to declare it in the file description. So the more proper question should be: Muh.Ashar, is this photo made up from several photos, or is it an upsized single shot? It would be great if you could clarify that. --Cart (talk) 18:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @GRDN711, W.carter, A.Savin, and Cmao20: the Nikon D7200 is natively capable of shooting 6000x4000 24MP image. So I don't know where the idea comes from it is limited to 4800 x 3200 pixels. I think the small irregularity with the line is more likely to be an imperfect attempt to clone out something distracting (litter?). I don't think the line mismatch is noticable enough to oppose, though the pixellation in the sky is a bit troublesome. -- Colin (talk) 15:39, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Colin, W.carter, A.Savin, and Cmao20: Thank you, Colin for the clarification. Per the Nikon spec sheet for the D7200, the maximum resolution is 6000 x 4000 pixels. There is also a 1.3x crop mode for this camera at 4800 x 3200 pixels which was my point of confusion. Sorry about that! As I now understand it, this blue hour picture is a single image of 6000 x 4000 pixels. --GRDN711 (talk) 15:52, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No matter what it actually is, it might be a good idea to crop away the lowest part, so that the error and the blurred object are not in the picture. I may support the image only if the issue with the pixelated sky is fixed too; which (if ever fixable) requires a new development. --A.Savin 16:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Muh.Ashar: Just for curious, Muhammad – is this a single image taken on a tripod at f/11 with a single 20-second exposure, or is there HDR stitching (built-in or post-processing) from multiple exposures of the same image to accommodate the high dynamic range in lighting? --GRDN711 (talk) 16:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Certainly. Of course I understand that photographers deal with limitations, but all I have to consider is the resulting image. This one is ever-so-close to being an FP to me, but clearly, a consensus of other voters here believe it is an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per Basile Morin: This almost-but-not-quite symmetrical composition does not work for me at all. It immediately makes me wonder: what was so ugly about the right side that it had to be hidden? In addition to that, most of the image consists of either ceiling or benches, neither of which are particularly interesting. The altar area is interesting as you zoom in, but looking at the image as a whole, it is hidden far away in the back. Maybe a longer lens with more "compression" would have worked better? --El Grafo (talk) 08:30, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm going to be honest, I thought a chunk of the picture was missing because I first looked at it on my phone. That's how much unappealing I find it. If at least the crop made it clear what to focus on... but not even that. Aside, it's also a bit noisy (though not a FP killer, but should be easy to avoid given the favorable conditions). - Benh (talk) 18:43, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry, I know you like these off-centre compositions and I've voted for them in the past but this one is just too strange for me. The image quality is great, and I get your argument about it including the Cornu Evangelii and not duplicating identical information, but to me the nave of a church is a subject that simply demands to be shot symmetrically. I would actually be happy to support it if you produced a symmetrical crop to cut off the left-hand side, as what we'd have left would still be interesting enough for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 23:16, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - I used to live in a country where 3-inch jungle bees were common. This bee is quite a bit more than 3 inches long in the picture, and it's definitely not a Malaysian jungle bee, so its size in the picture frame is not merely twice its size but multiple times its size. So it should be even more multiples larger? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:21, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Graphosoma lineatum, mating
  •  Info It is not tilted. I always use the spirit level. Maybe it seems to be because of the other perspective. When I would rotate it, it would look as if the bugs would about fall off. The distance to the camera was over one meter but the size of the subject is still big enough according the guideline. --Hockei (talk) 11:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not quite clear for me. Distinction due to the body colour is problematic because of different lighting conditions. The colour of the legs of G. italicum is only "mostly black" not always. In German I couldn't find a differentiation between G. lineatum and G. italicum. Look at here the pictures of G. lineatum. G. italicum doesn't seem to exist. Just in the en wikipedia. Maybe I could write to an expert. But aware the answer will take a while. --Hockei (talk) 12:39, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi guys, I beg to differ, G. lineatum and G. italicum are two distincts species. See that paper. They made a genetic comparison of italicum and lineatum. The paper is in french though, which is probably not helping to spread the word... They are 2 different populations italicum is found in continental Europe and has mostly black legs, while lineatum is only found in north Africa and has red legs. With a twist for the populations of Sicily and Sardinia, that have their own sub-species. The genetic study also finds that G. rubrolineatum, from East Asia, is actually a closer relative to italicum than lineatum is with italicum. Unless there has been a more recent study proving otherwise, we have to consider G. italicum and G. lineatum as distinct species--Hiouf (talk) 12:34, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info @Hiouf and Touam: The genetic test alone is not suitable for dividing this species into two different species. Because then millions of specieses would have to be redefined in different species, subspecies, sub-subspecies and so on. Would you say that, for example, Asians, Europeans and Africans are different species of humans? Because we all have different genes. I don’t think so. Do G. lineatum and G. italicum have overlaps of there habitat? I think so. Can G. lineatum and G. italicum together produce offspring that are capable of reproduction? I think so. So you cannot speak about different species but at most about varieties. You can write and speak in the French and English wikipedia what you want. But in Germany this is not scientifically recognized. It remains with Graphosoma lineatum.
  • Hi @Hockei: The genetic test is a very strong test to ID a species (1,2,3,4). The scientific community is using it extensively, and has even created recently a consortium to support the developement of DNA barcoding (5,6). And yes, you are right, there are probably thousands of species, if not more, that we may have wrongly classified, some taxa to merge, some to split into different species or even higher taxonomic levels(7). There are literally tons of papers on DNA barcoding, I've put only a few as references. Of course, splitting or not a species depends on the genetic distance between populations. Humans are all genetically of the same species because the genetic variability inter-population is not significant (counts for about 10% of the variability) compared to the intra-population (the other 90%) (8,9,10). Coming back the Graphosoma case, we have 1) two populations that are geographically separated without overlaps (italicum in Europe and lineatum in North Africa); 2) distincts morphological characteristics that are specific to the European and African populations ; and 3) a genetic distance that supports the morphological and biogeographical evidences (11). The ulimate test would be inter-breeding, but to my knowledge no one has done it, and I doubt anyone will as this is very time-consuming. So based on the previously mentionned evidences, we have here all the reasons to think those are different species (until proven otherwise). There are many other examples, Eurygaster maura/testudinaria or Carpocoris mediterraneus/fuscispinus. Last but not least, if you or the German scientific community think we should stick to G. lineatum, why not, but it would be great to hear why and present a strong case contradicting the latest published works. Saying "I think so" or "I don't think so" is not quite enough scientifically speaking. Hope you can re-consider this case, I definitely would if new light is shed. Cheers.--Hiouf (talk) 21:10, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Hiouf: Hi again. You can forget "I think so". The main question still remains to be answered. I have previously talked to a bug expert and independently of him with a biologist. So it does not change my position. Anyway. We should end the discussion hereby. How the species are to be determined, scientists and biologists have to agree on. Certainly not both of us. And besides, here in FPC anyway is not the right place. Have a nice evening. --Hockei (talk) 16:44, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi @Hockei: you talked to specialists, I talked with a couple of Pentatomoidea experts too. I've also seen discussion with a third entomologist who changed his mind on this topic after the last paper. But this is not about who has the most experts on his side, this doesn't lead us anywhere. Although on a personal note, I would be curious what are the arguments of your expert to challenge the morphological, geographical and genetic evidences. I agree here with you that the decision is anyway left to taxinomists. I'm looking forward any new paper to see how it evolves. But if there are not, what does it mean, that everyone agrees with Lupoli, 2017 ? This question has been debated for more than 100 years, I guess it'll take another few years to have a clear consensus (or not) ;).--Hiouf (talk) 07:54, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi @Hockei: I would like to share with you 2 things I thought you might find interesting. The first one is a paper by Berend Aukema, a dutch Pentatomoidea specialist, and head curator of Fauna Europaea. In his paper from July 2019 (here), he confirms the validity of G. italicum as a distinct species. The second one is a photo (here) taken by Paride Dioli, showing a G. semipuctatum and a G. italicum in copula. However, we don't know if the mating produced offsprings. P. Dioli is an italian entomologist, who was a believer of the synonymy between lineatum and italicum, but has now agreed on the validity of italicum after the molecular analysis. In the comments of this photo, there is a very interesting discussion between P. Dioli and R. Lupoli (who made the molecular analysis back in 2017). This discussion suggests we have still to learn about the population of Sardinia and Sicily.
