Info The Apennine Colossus in Tuscany, an 11-meter 16th century sculpture personifying the Apennine mountains, built on the water source of the Villa Pratolino. It was one of the highlights of my recent trip to the area -- a fascinating, detailed sculpture that does an incredible job of blending a human figure with rock, vegetation, etc. So I spent some time making this 76 MP panorama. There are a few rough highlights, but in general I like the way it facilitates closer looking at an impressive, very large piece. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 15:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info The floor of the Florence Cathedral has some great optical illusions that are only really visible from the balcony. Seems like there's less written about it than, say, the dome or the paintings, but it caught my attention. My understanding is they're important in art history because of Brunelleschi's pioneering of perspective experience. Regardless, it's just kind of cool and I was happy to be able to get a decent shot of it. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 15:31, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose With a landmark photographed by so many people every day, it is difficult to take a photo which stands out. The competition strong... I can see the effort you put into this (picking the golden hour, deliberate composition with the bridge in lower 1/3, etc.) but the picture is still only average. The composition, despite deliberation, is awkward (the 1/3 rule did not work perfectly). You made an attempt at keeping the vertical lines parallel to sides, but that attempt skewed the horizontal lines. I would probably see this as central composition, taken from 2-3 meters above ground. Actually I'm thinking of buying myself a light ladder to carry for such purposes... I like the colors of your photo though. Keep good pictures coming and good luck! Podstawko ●talk 08:55, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question Do any Nikonites know what "strobe return light detected" means? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/23418568#:~:text=Return%20detected%20means%20that%20the,the%20flash%20to%20be%20illuminated.

My understanding is that the camera determines the amount of ambient light in prior to flash. Camera then does a nearly imperceptible pre-flash attempting to determine subject reflectivity, etc. and uses this info to modulate the power of the flash itself. Then the camera does the proper flash and compares the amount of light coming through the lens at a period of time that should correspond to the moment of the flash. I don't know what the threshold would be to declare "strobe return light detected" or not--it's probably complicated. Pdanese (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Question Considering the recent discussion of best practices in regard to using flash on birds, is it a potentially mortal danger to the frog to use flash and potentially point out its location to predators? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From my personal point of view, it looks like the biggest problem with flash photos is for wild birds, and there are recommendations for that, so I'll be a hard-liner on that subject. In this case I would go with reasoning similar to that on the slug photo. I also like that this photo is taken by a eco-researcher from Universidade Federal do Amazonas. I guess he knows what he's doing. I think that the Wiki-project should encourage the works of local photographers, since that makes the material more diversified and the Wikis more inclusive, plus (bonus) it means less air travels to get the photos.

More generally here on FPC, photos by "outsiders" are often sneered upon as inferior, since those photographers don't know our pixel-peeping rules. They are judged harder and that needs to change. A great composition trumps some technical shortcomings. --Cart (talk) 08:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Thanks. I feel like the level of details I can view at 50% of full size makes this an FP, even if it might or might not be as sharp as an equivalent photo by someone like Charles could be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

* Neutral The design exhibits multiple inconsistencies and technical deficiencies. The hands of the knight, for instance, seem to have been created using raster instead of genuine vectorization, which starkly contrasts with other parts of the image. Furthermore, the color of the hands does not match that of the face, creating a visual disconnect. Upon close examination, one can identify issues with the vertices of the vectors, causing abrupt breaks in the image, compromising the design's fluidity. The style of the lines is not consistent throughout the piece, suggesting a lack of uniformity in the technique used. Some elements give the impression of being a mere vectorization done over a photograph, detracting from the design's authenticity. In certain areas, it appears that raster has been used on top of a photo, which could be confirmed if one had access to the original image for comparison. The strokes, in general, seem to have been executed without the necessary precision, affecting the overall design quality. A clear example of this is the hat of the knight on the right, which, due to an improper stroke, appears to be floating in the air, rather than sitting firmly on his head. --Wilfredor (talk) 02:06, 24 October 2023 (UTC) I preffer withdraw from participating in this section --Wilfredor (talk) 11:12, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I feel like the composition is imbalanced. Excluding the castle, the tree on the left is bigger than the one on the right and occupies basically the entire left third up to almost the edge, so more of the visual weight is on the left. And yet the castle, a small but prominent element, is also slightly on the left, making the overall composition left-heavy.

Support Very atmospheric thanks to the lighting. Asymmetrical views of church interiors often don’t work, but here the choice is good because it gives us free view to the altar window and shows the beautiful chandeliers. The loudspeaker at the right is ugly (shame on the tasteless responsibles!), but was unavoidable. Only the choice of ƒ/16 is a bit tricky because due to diffraction the picture gets a bit soft; but IHMO it’s still good. --Aristeas (talk) 08:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm missing the symmetry here. - Benh (talk) 20:55, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support The symmetry does not have to be shown 1:1 to be appreciated. I agree with Aristeas that in this case the perspective works very well and that the light makes this image special --Kritzolina (talk) 06:23, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is a different view from the usual. Strict symmetry is very graphic and always pleasant for the viewer. But in my opinion, breaking the rules can be a stimulus, especially in painting and photography. The speaker is a minus, but the advantages of the image outweigh it. -- Radomianin (talk) 08:37, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Chapel of St Joseph and the Holy Family in the Westminster Cathedral, City of Westminster, London, England. This cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. It is the largest Catholic church in the UK and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. The site on which the cathedral stands in the was purchased by the Diocese of Westminster in 1885, and construction completed in 1903. The temple was designed by John Francis Bentley in neo-Byzantine style, and accordingly made almost entirely of brick, without steel reinforcements, Sir John Betjeman called it "a masterpiece in striped brick and stone" that shows "the good craftsman has no need of steel or concrete.". c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not successful. I too use Helicon Focus. You need to hand-adjust the image using the Retouching setting and paint in the bits that are supposed to be sharp using the image where the foreground is sharp and the image where the background is sharp. You will not be able to achieve 100% so need to clone the gap between the two sharp areas afterwards in Photoshop or Lightroom or whatever.

Info Chapel of St. Saviour, Cathedral, Norwich, England. It's the chapel of the Royal Norfolk Regiment and the Royal Anglian Regiment. On the wooden seats are the names of the places where these units have fought. The Anglican cathedral is dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. The construction of the building begun in 1096 at the behest of the first bishop of Norwich, Herbert de Losinga. When the crossing tower was the last piece of the Norman cathedral to be completed; measuring 461 feet (141 m) and 177 feet (54 m) wide, the cathedral was the largest building in East Anglia. The present structure of Norwich Cathedral is primarily Norman. The cathedral was damaged during the riots of 1272; repairs were completed in 1278. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 13:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Blue whale skeleton at the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum, London, England. 'Hope', nickname of the blue whale skeleton, is 25.2 metres (83 ft) long and is suspended from the ceiling since July 14th 2017. Blue whales are the largest creature ever to have lived in the Earth. In the 1800s there was an estimated amount of 250,000 blue whales across the world's oceans. After decades of commercial hunting the species was to the brink of extinction, with only around 400 surviving in 1966. That year the world took action in London and decided to legally protect blue whales from commercial hunting. Since then the population of blue whales has steadily grown to its current level of around 20,000.

Support Well done with long exposure here. Also the composition is very deliberate, but you did make mistakes (what is that 2-pixel wide blue line next to the right edge??

Still, support for the hard work you put into this, good overall effect, and the informative value. Podstawko ●talk 08:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback, Podstawko. I checked the imagen and cannot identify the problems you mention, could you add a note for both of them? I didn't see any blue line and there is some space left between the tip of the lowest bone and the bottom crop. Regarding the exposure of the skeleton and after so many favorable votes, I'd rather leave it like this. Poco a poco (talk) 09:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Riomaggiore is one of the 5 villages of the Cinque Terre National Park on the NW coast of Italy. The village is nestled at the mount of a steep valley surrounded by a mountain range that plunges 2,000–2,500 ft (610–760 m) into the sea. Photo taken from the approaching ferry on a choppy sea in late evening. There are no FPs of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Oppose Good informative value, and sun is a capricious visitor on British Isles indeed (I too need to hunt for it here...). I'm opposing because the composition really bothers me here, with horizon very straight but awkwardly neither at 1/2 or 1/3, perceived heaviness at the bottom due to too much space taken by pebbles (was that deliberate?), the warning sign which spoils the otherwise peaceful content. Somehow this picture won't stand out for me, maybe it is idiosyncratic looking at how many support votes the image received... Podstawko ●talk 08:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Podstawko Thanks for the detailed review, just replying since you asked a question and will address a couple of your other points (which are very fair) at the same time. The horizon, fair enough, I was aiming for 1/2 but looking again in Camera Raw it is about 50 pixels off halfway. I could happily lose 100px of pebbles at the bottom to get it more precise. The pebbles were deliberate because I liked their texture, but of course deliberate doesn't mean it was objectively a good idea! As for the warning sign, well, it was there and there's not much I could do about it, but actually I quite like it for its educational value and the way it adds some tension to the scene. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 10:06, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral IMO too much foreground. The sign is disturbing - but not a problem. Sharpness could be better too. --XRay 💬 16:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative version edit

Info @ABAL1412, Terragio67, Ikan Kekek, Famberhorst, Agnes Monkelbaan, Milseburg, Rosalina474418, Podstawko, and XRay: The original is doing OK votes-wise but I've taken on board the last couple of comments about the foreground and present here a 2:1 crop with much less of the pebble beach visible. It also has the advantage of placing the horizon on the 1/3 line now. Just pinging you all for feedback as much as anything as I always welcome constructive comments.

Info Apse of the higher church in the Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. It was one of the most important monasteries in Aragon in the Middle Ages. Its two-level church is partially carved in the stone of the great cliff that overhangs the foundation. San Juan de la Peña means "Saint John of the Cliff". The lower church includes some mozarabic architectural surviving elements, although most of the parts of the monastery (including the impressive cloister, under the great rock) are Romanesque. After the fire of 1675, a new monastery was built. The old monastery (built in 920) was declared a National Monument on 13 July 1889, and the new monastery in 1923. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:30, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. Abstaining from support as the author.
Oppose The view and timing are nice but the I'm never a fan of a too long stripe format. On top, the processing looks a bit weird. I think you moved the clarity trigger quite far to the right. It strangely looks like a night and day shot at the same time. super tight framing doesn't help. - Benh (talk) 11:09, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The choice of the wide panorama (in Wikimedia parlance any panorama of ratio of height to width higher than 1:4) is deliberate here. The purpose was to show the entirety of the town to replace the existing waterfront image in the Wikipedia article on the subject. My pano shows that expected "entirety" of the spectacular Cobh waterfront: further to the left, there would only be a boring train station; further to the right -- dull woods with scattered houses. The image also illustrates the sloping streets to the right (east), and the imposing "upper class" buildings to the left (west) of the cathedral, illustrating the contrast. This new panorama, after being centered and put across the width of that article, works quite well as an illustration.

Surprisingly enough, this is a sort of "day and night shot at the same time", because I was hunting for the moment where the sky is still bright, but people have already turned their lights on. I really had only a few minutes for that which caused issues in itself, as the process of taking this panorama took more than a few minutes... Also, I didn't touch the clarity slider. I never do as I don't like the effect. Changes done were moves of the histogram curves on darks and whites (and maybe not in the direction you would expect), lots of spot removals, local brightening of the cathedral, adjusting black point on in woody areas, delicate unsharp mask applied in PS. Podstawko ●talk 11:32, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are still one or two dust spots in the clouds. As for the rest, I'm not sure how to vote, but it would be easier if you de-noise the sky in such a way as to produce a sharper picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. I'm abstaining from voting as the author. What you see is the north side of Cork City, with the conspicuous St. Anne's Church, aka Shandon Bells, aka "Four Faced Liar" because each face of the clock shows a different hour. The image was taken last Saturday (Oct. 28, 2023) morning, and is selected out of over a hundred frames I shot from before sunrise till 9am or so. The clouds had been building up in the background for a long while before taking the shape I found balanced enough. The decision for centered composition is deliberate here, and I carefully picked the vantage spot and positioned the camera with "pixel precision" using a geared head. There is no post-processing cropping. CPL filter was used to make clouds more pronounced. Curves, local adjustments, and cleanup of unwanted spots close to edges was done in post-processing. Most of my shots in this series were at ISO100, but I quickly switched to ISO800 (kudoz to Canon's Fv mode which rocks!) when I saw the Ryanair airplane approaching the Cork Airport, to freeze it. I think it plays well with the clouds. It had already started to rain when I took this picture, and then it poured... all my equipment was soaking by the time I found shelter.

Ah! Thanks —Percival Kestreltail, you are perfectly correct. I didn't dig that deep. I just saw the two images and assumed they were two different files, my bad. A new version uploaded on top of the original nomination, is not regarded as an alterative. I'll restore this to a normal nomination. Podstawko is fairly new here and doesn't know all our procedural quirks. The option for an "Alt" is only for separate files, not versions uploaded on the same file page. I'm also 'pinging' @Mr. Rasel Hasan and Draceane: and Benh, who's votes happened to fall on the invalid 'Alt' to see if their votes still stand. (every time something is altered on a nom or image, previous voters should be informed.) --Cart (talk) 16:34, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is not really in perspective correction in pp, but in where you were standing -- you were not centered on the building, i.e. were not positioned exactly opposite the door.

Comment. Can you help me understand the image? The trees on the left are vertical, so it would seem the bottom edge of the picture is level (as in level with real-world horizon). But the goat is at an angle, and so are the stems of grass, so it would seem the picture is tilted. So how does that work? Podstawko ●talk 14:37, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This picture was shot with perfect horizontal tilt according to the viewfinder. The "tilt effect" is probably an optical illusion because it is at 600mm. In reality, the chamois is on a slope and was looking down. I did not change the tilt with a crop to align it with the slope because the result would be unnatural since it would make it look like that all the trees would be falling to the right. For a context of this image you can look at this image shot a few minutes before at 200mm. You will see it's a slope and that the trees are going upward.

For me, the ‘wow’ effect comes from a combination of cloud pattern in the sky, somewhat bizarre Triassic outcrop formations on the right and the general remoteness of the place. And also, to a lesser degree, from spring freshness (melting snow, fresh grass, condensed humidity), and the fact that it is a UNESCO recognized site. --Argenberg (talk) 16:32, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose No wow, sorry. The quality is acceptable as QI, but the resolution is small (only 1,636 × 2,466 pixels without the frame, from a camera that records 6,000 x 4,000 pixels). Considering that all FP are future POTY candidates, I would like the label to be awarded to images that are a little more special than just "brand new product, simple shot" -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Are we evaluating the sensor of camera or the picture itself? This picture is sharp, the subject is well lighted. And there are other FPs which present "ordinary product", for example: 1 2 --LoMit ^talk 10:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all modern equipment allows you to take high-resolution photos. If a picture is small, there should be mitigating reasons. Crop necessary due to long-distance for example.

Our guidelines state: "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject". And here it is an average picture of an ordinary subject, in my view.

The two examples you give were highly controversial (7-3 and 11-4) and I think both were more interesting with natural shadows, more original products, special angles of view -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:41, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ikan, for your review. I would be happy to improve this picture but I don't see significant halos. Do you mean a subtle line 1 pixel thick? However I can't see anything at the left. At the right it is subtle in my view, and probably due to the sunset with the light coming in front possibly reverberating around the teeth of the roof -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. I very much like the light here, the thumbnail catches attention that's for sure; also, the photo meets "informative" requirement, but there are a few flaws: the whites are blown on the house, and there's a roll problem: all vertical lines are leaning to the left (not only the leftmost structure, but also the house). Podstawko ●talk 10:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look at the lean tonight and see whether the highlighted house side can be recovered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acroterion (talk • contribs) 12:25, 2 November 2023 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]

I've knocked down the exposure to recover the house siding texture and adjusted tilt. The hay barn and all of the telephone poles lean. Overall it's a little less contrasty. Acroterion (talk) 01:16, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like very much the photograph, and the whites had to be fixed, but now there is a texture that there was not before. Also the buildings in the foreground did lose sharpness.

Comment Nice but the horizon is not straight and there is at least one stitching issue that should be corrected, see note. Poco a poco (talk) 14:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately the two frames simply have different waves which do not line up anywhere along the stitching surface; I've tried to manually blend them to make the seam less visible. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:16, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Poco a poco: After careful inspection, I don't think the horizon is tilted? To the left of the small rock, the horizon is leaning slightly right. In between the two rocks, the horizon is straight. To the right of the large rock, the horizon is leaning slightly left. If this were all, given that the ocean is on the left side of the image, it would suggest that the image as a whole is leaning in with an overall left tilt. In particular, we would expect the verticals on the houses at the right to be severely tilted left. However, we can see that they're perfectly straight. So this is probably just natural curvature in the horizon. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:21, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear to me where the problem with the stitching issues come from but I still believe that the area noted could be improved. Regarding the horizon the main issue I see is that the horizon to the left of the big rock is lower than to the right and there is also a slight tilt in ccw direction Poco a poco (talk) 19:31, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A thousand thanks. I think you wrote it right. In fact, I withdraw it because I realized that it wasn't perceived in the right way. Technically I would have had to cut out a bit of the sky, and perhaps also penalizing the color of the boat, if it had been a color that had more contrast with the bicycle, it would have been better. The photo is romantic, while here they are looking for the wow effect, and therefore not suitable for FP. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 11:02, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Fresco of the dome of the Abbey of Santa Maria del Monte in Cesena, painted by Giuseppe Milani between 1771 and 1774. This work was redone due to the serious earthquake that occurred in the southern Emilia Romagna region on 20 October 1768.

Comment Some of the blues and greens on the left and right sides look really strange. The angel on the lower right is particularly weird-looking. I hope that's not really how he looks on that ceiling. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yeah, I've experienced this in dark areas when stitching together 8-bit TIFFs in Hugin, but the problem goes away when I use 16-bit TIFFs. (Both types of source files are exported straight from Lightroom, and there's nothing wrong with the source files.) I see from the EXIF that the uploader used Darktable, so I suspect there might be some open-source library shared by Hugin and Darktable related to exposure adjustment that is causing this issue. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: and King of ♥ Thank you for showing your correct consideration on this matter. The central part is sufficiently illuminated, while the edge is almost dark. Trying to balance shadows and lights (using Darktable), strange colors and noises can be created, especially in the less illuminated parts, i.e. the right side. I was interested in showcasing the incredible work of a distinguished unknown painter named Giuseppe Milani, so I uploaded a circular alternate version. It may seem incredible, but the fresco was created in just four years... Terragio67 (talk) 05:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the alternative shows that colours are not to be trusted (they look washed out anyways). Weird blue dots as mentioned by Ikan (and I can confirm I get them in Hugin as well). It is also not particularly sharp. - Benh (talk) 11:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I regret that I wasn't up to the task, having overprocessed a cropped image. Please clear your cache as I have uploaded a better image. You might be annoyed by my decision to adopt a new reddish-black background, but in the end (eventually), it's an easy task to restore it to a black or gray color. What is important is the colors and sharpness of the new version. Let me know, please. Terragio67 (talk) 14:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. I'm not sure whether the circular composition works or not, but I will look again another day. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm about to withdraw, but I don't want to leave feeling like I made the circular cutout to hide something unsuccessful in the margins. As soon as possible I will do it appropriately in a new version. Terragio67 (talk) 11:33, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info I recently visited one of the most photographed statues in the world and found myself looking for non-obvious motifs. This is a two-frame HDR that puts some emphasis on the architectural context he's been in for the past 150 years. Does it work for FPC?

  No, no! I understand you're going for an alternate take and you're not trying to take a descriptive photo of the David.

Oppose The composition does not work for me. The section of the statue seems arbitrarily cut out and tilted. The dark arches, at the bottom and at the right are awkwardly cropped and make the background cluttered in my view. The sky through the dome appears totally white. It's not a special time of the day like blue hour or golden light. To show this sculpture in its context, I think a panoramic view of the sculpture in full in the whole room would be more informative -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Certainly a matter of taste. For my eyes which are tired from seeing too many boring informative shots of this statue, this composition is refreshing. It does not tell me much about the statue, of course, but finally it makes me think again about it, about the gallery and about my visual habits; and that is more than enough for me ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 09:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The crop is too tight, the building is not straight up, and there is a strange brownish tint. Not enough light in shadows too. Podstawko ●talk 12:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments. With this photo I wanted to highlight the low light of the autumn sky (the last ray of sunshine) on this building. I could have avoided the perspective effect by enlarging the shot, but then there would have been buses, cars, road signs, etc. My point of view was to have the cathedral alone.

Thank you for your interest, I understand your point of view. Yes, I have other versions but, unfortunately, on the right there is only an uninteresting platform (it looks more like a work tool shed than a house).

Thanks for your suggestions and support. Certainly, when I took the first photo, I focused more on the house than on the structure as a whole. The latter is a modern and comfortable home that has a hobby fishing net for the joy of a free fish meal. I can say that it is one of the local tourist attractions. Some small entrepreneurs have also created exclusive fish restaurants, especially in the middle and lower Adriatic Sea, where these structures, on the other hand, are completely made of wood. They should look similar to the fishing machine in your beautiful photo.

In fact, my support remained there, just to remind me that I wasn't good enough at taking more shots (or different shots) in similar conditions because I had very little time to take advantage of the last rays of the sun, which illuminated directly and indirectly through the glare of the sea.

Support. I like the light, the mist, the view, and colors, and the details (because many pixels!!). What I would do differently: make shadows less pitch black, clone out the fallen tree on the left (or make the panorama slightly shorter by cutting maybe 1000px off from the left), and walk up closer to the edge to eliminate the grass on the bottom which adds nothing to the picture.

It's a no brainer support for me, but it's also noticeably tilted to the right. - Benh (talk) 13:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I think it's just natural curvature of the horizon (i.e. if the horizon extended all the way to the left, it would be tilted to the left on the left side); see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Chimney Rock Trail Point Reyes December 2016 009.jpg for an explanation. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:59, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would be surprised if we could see the curvature so obviously at sea level. I've never seen it on my photos with a proper lens barrel correction or panorama with rectilinear projection. Quick google gets me this https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19037349/ - Benh (talk) 21:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at user-submitted photos on Google Maps, I see the same phenomenon on many of them. For example, in this photo you can see a clear bend in the horizon, which is almost centered so it can't be barrel distortion. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:11, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
it's the same photo as you and only the right side show the horizon... - Benh (talk) 19:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By "bend" I don't just mean that the horizon is tilted CW - I'm saying that the more right you go, the more tilted it gets. I intentionally chose the same scene to prove that this is how the scene actually looks and is not an artifact of my lens or stitching technique. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I love the idea of capturing a runner next to the sculpture of a runner. I'm opposing for quality reasons: the photo is not sharp enough, the edits (automated by Google Pixel or human) are too crude (check the outline of the sculpture). The moon and people on that path (except for the person running) should have been cloned out. I would go there again, during the same hours of the day, and retake from further distance but with a longer focal length -- that will make anyone running behind that sculpture appear larger compared to the sculpture. Podstawko ●talk 07:39, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Absolutely not my cup of tea (melodramatic, overprocessed, etc.). But in the eyes of most people this is probably a great image and much more interesting than any photo I have ever taken (or will take); certainly it would be a hot POTY candidate. The noise is excusable or at least explainable (see Behn’s comment), and the leaning verticals are IMHO not that bad here because we are clearly looking down.

Proposed blurb: Warming stripes are data visualization graphics that use a series of coloured stripes chronologically ordered to visually portray temperature trends. Climate scientist Ed Hawkins designed the warming stripes in a minimalist style, using colour alone to avoid technical distractions and intuitively convey global warming to non-scientists. In this early Hawkins graphic from 2018, stripes progress from blue (cool years) to red (warm years) to portray Earth's average annual temperatures since 1850. — RCraig09 (talk) 18:41, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Info Warming stripes (sometimes referred to as climate stripes) are data visualization graphics that use a series of coloured stripes chronologically ordered to visually portray long-term temperature trends. Warming stripes reflect a "minimalist" style, conceived to use colour alone to avoid technical distractions to intuitively convey global warming trends to non-scientists. This data visualisation has had a notable, high impact on the world (see its article). Simple, but extremely effective. Voted as featured picture on english WP on 17 January 2021.

Hawkins understood this, so to send a message that things are getting worse for the planet, he needed to send a digital message: There is so much work behind those colored stripes that this picture can be considered art. --Terragio67 (talk) 15:56, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The gallery doesn't seem appropriate - shouldn't it be Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media/Computer-generated? BigDom (talk) 17:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what "the gallery" is, but being computer-generated did not prevent its being "Today's Featured Picture" (POTD) on English Wikipedia's main page (archive). RCraig09 (talk) 18:25, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery is fixed. BigDom is quite correct. The gallaries are simply a way of sorting and displaying our FPs. Being 'computer-generated' is not in any way diminishing this image's value or importance, it is simply the way we identify images that are made that way (as opposed to photographs or paintings/drawings made by hand). Not sure why a blurb is mentioned, such things are not relevant here at FPC, that will only be considered if it gets promoted and becomes a POTD on Commons. --Cart (talk) 19:18, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the point. The explanation is in the blurb. RCraig09 (talk) 15:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support "Only stripes" means I can vote for this, thanks for reminding me. (No photo with sharpness or contrast to conider, just colors and compo.) It is extremely difficult to design graphic images to convey a complex and important message in a way that transcends language barriers, that can be adapted into many forms of contexts, and that you remember from just one quick glance. This is graphic design at its best. --Cart (talk) 23:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support.--Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 05:42, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Many people are talking about this image, but IMHO it does not help understand global warming. The "minimalist" style actually removes a lot of important information (what are the axes? what is the range of values? what is the difference between the red and the blue?), and this image is confusing without a long caption. The image may show the skill and ingenuity of the researcher, but sounds to me art for art's sake, and for global warming visualization I much prefer the famous XKCD global warming strip. Podstawko ●talk 07:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yeah, it isn't nearly as meaningful as a temperature graph to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:44, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If the image makes you ask all those questions, it has worked as a symbol for global warming. It has made you aware and wanting to know more. It's like when you see a radiation symbol, it doesn't tell you exactly what kind of radiation, from what material it comes, how strong it is or how much of it you can take before you get sick or die, but you get the message that something is wrong. --Cart (talk) 09:18, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, this image didn't make me ask any of these questions. I did not care for the image until I noticed it gained notoriety. The comic strip I mentioned above, as a contrast, made me pay attention immediately. Podstawko ●talk 09:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

XKCD is of course always great (link to let people know what image we are talking about), but how would you use that image on a campaign button, a logo, a header or a bus? It works as information, not as graphic design. --Cart (talk) 09:57, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the point: it purposely omits (technical) information as it's meant for non-scientists. The explanation is in the blurb, above. RCraig09 (talk) 15:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Albert Memorial, Kensington Gardens, London, England. It was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband Prince Albert, who died in 1861. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style, it takes the form of an ornate canopy or pavilion 176 feet (54 m) tall, in the style of a Gothic ciborium over the high altar of a church, sheltering a statue of the prince facing south. It took over ten years to complete and was opened in July 1872 by Queen Victoria, with the statue of Albert ceremonially "seated" in 1876. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose a harsh oppose. But the monument is overall very dark. You are not helped by the lighting scheme but then you'd need to go earlier. It could also be sharper on the upper part, as this picture taken 15 years ago shows. - Benh (talk) 11:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, Benh, I don't understand this feedback. If my intention had been to light it as good as during the day, I wouldn't had taken the image during the blue hour. That was a photographer's choice and I see no problem with that. Also, if I had focused on the memorial building like in the other image, the resolution of it would be higher, but again I wanted to capture the whole ensemble. Poco a poco (talk) 17:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey Poco, just saying a few min earlier might have yielded a better lit monument and still the night light scheme on. A photographer's choice may not always mean mitigating circumstances. If you choose to take Mount Everest in the dark, I strongly suspect a few won't like it. About the resolution, it is the same as Diliff's. Just your crop is wider and I see why not you couldn't have achieved similar quality, despite your gear and software packing 15 years of progress. - Benh (talk) 17:58, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the light situation in morning daylight is contrasty, which I personally like. I find it fresh and dynamic as opposite to often boring sunset hues. But there are no blown highlights, there are areas of maximum natural luminosity in the cloud and this can hardly be called blown highlights. The luminosity histogram shows the brightest value is only twice as much as the next brightest. This is not even a soft clipping for this type of light, in my view. --Argenberg (talk) 12:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Manarola is one of the 5 villages of the Cinque Terre National Park on the NW coast of Italy. The village is located on a small cliff over the Bay of Genoa. It is backed by a mountain range that plunges 2,000–2,500 ft (610–760 m) into the sea. There are no FPs of Manarola which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Comment Definitely has potential, but my immediate impression upon looking at this photo is that while the town and the breakwater are nice, there is too much sky. The left side beyond the town also isn't too interesting IMO. I had a go at making [[:File:Manarola NW Cinque Terre Sep23 A7C 07233 (16x9 crop)--imehling (talk) 17:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC).jpg|a 16:9 cropped version]] using the CropTool that puts the horizon on the halfway line and the centre of the town on the left third line. See what you think. BigDom (talk) 06:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BigDom: I get your point, but crop removes the interesting patterns in the sky. I have another image from the same sequence that has less sky but retains the cloud patterns. What do you think of it? --Tagooty (talk) 06:52, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point. Definitely prefer the composition of this one you just suggested. However, it would need a couple of edits to be ready for FP in my opinion - the buildings on the left are leaning in significantly and the texture of the sea looks quite strange. But a great motif. BigDom (talk) 07:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BigDom: Thanks for your suggestions. I've cropped the original FPC to reduce the sky and the hillside, while retaining the cloud patterns. This emphasises the village, but retains the impression of sky + sea + mountains that is characteristic of Cinque Terre. Hope you like this. --Tagooty (talk) 08:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

InfoFog and clouds over the countryside in Rignano sull'Arno - Frazione Bombone - The band of fog rises from the Arno river which flows in the Valdarno valley. The distant mountain is the Pratomagno of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The typical vegetation of the area are olive trees and vineyards.

Oppose. The vista point you picked is great, and the view is breathtaking. I wish I could be there. The photo is of very low quality though: despite many pixels, there is no detail when you zoom in. The contrast is too high, and the automatic or manual attempts at sharpening made the leafs in foreground trees uneasy to look at.

Info Leighton House, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, west London, England. The art museum and historic house is located in the Holland Park area and was the London home of painter Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton (1830–1896), who commissioned the architect and designer George Aitchison to build him a combined home and studio. The resulting building, noted for its elaborate Orientalist and aesthetic interiors, has been open to the public since 1929. The museum was awarded the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award in 2012. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:51, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very nice interior design and excellent light through the windows. However the left side is not optimum : the end of the chair deserves to be cropped in my opinion. Perhaps a symmetrical adjustment -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:52, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The exposure looks to be more on the outside and it is another unproperly perspective adjusted photo. The kind of sight we stumble across often in European castles and this one doesn't really stand out in my view. Nice framing of the ceiling. - Benh (talk) 21:32, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I quite like the feeling of relaxed domesticity of the curtains, light and view outside the window, but it doesn't seem right to have a small bit of a chair in the photo. I think you saved the wrong version. But isn't the solution to crop out the chair, rather than clone it out? The view you show should be one that a visitor could see, and visitors are surely not allowed to move antique chairs out of the way. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:08, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, now I uploaded the right version where I finished the cloning. In my opinion whether the chair is 10 inches further to the right or the the left is accidental, so I don't think that cloning it out is wrong. I could also crop it but then the crop at the ceiling will get worse. Poco a poco (talk) 22:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: What is your opinion about this vote, based on this comment --Wilfredor (talk) 10:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To make my vote clear: I don't trust Wafa at all (en.wiki: …the organization is viewed an arm of the Palestinian government, rather than an independent agency…) Simply, the quality of the image don't override possibly biased content. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 11:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gathering images for a neutral encyclopedia means that we need good images from ALL sides in conflicts. This includes photos taken by both biased and neutral photographers. This is what we've always done (History started one second ago.) And we should process them by and by as we get them. We don't need to get one from each side at the same time to keep some sort of balance. Today there is a photo from Wafa, and tomorrow we might get one from the Israeli military (I'm sure there ar equally emotional photos from them too). We should collect the images and sort/review them only by their quality, not political sides. --Cart (talk) 13:01, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question - 1) I see nothing in the description indicating this child should be described here as "smiling". Is that just based on the impressions of FPC participants? People make faces that look like smiling while crying, of course. 2) This is listed as "own work" by Batoul84, but also attributed to Wafa. Batoul84, could you confirm that you took this photo (for Wafa)? Perhaps the "own work" just needs to change? — Rhododendrites ^talk | 14:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Decidedly mixed feelings here (because of the context as well as the photo). I agree with Cart that we absolutely should feature moving photos as we come across them. My only concern with featuring something that could be called "propaganda" is if it has the effect of deceiving the viewer, minimizes suffering, casts a group of people as less than human, or otherwise could be considered mis/disinformation or hateful. I don't think this falls into any of those, although I am unsure of whether it should have a star. If the goal is documenting historical events, I think we have other images that do this better. If the goal is documenting a human moment in the context of such an event, it may succeed, but it seems like this relies on provided context of a smiling child in a horrific moment ... and I'm just not sure that's what I see? Maybe it's just me. Holding off on voting to think more/get other opinions. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 14:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments like these surfaces every time someone nominates an image from a new/ongoing conflict. Perhaps we can't remain as objective as we should while we are caught up in the swirls of impressions from the event. We are better at analysing photos from say WWII and the Vietnam War; also time has often provided enough info about the photos as well as sifted out what images remain as important. Perhaps we should only gather the images now and put them on hold for FPC for say a year, when we can review them with clearer minds and more info? Just a thought.

+1 on questioning the image narration (as well as the pumped-up "Peacemaking support" and these unnecessary POTY predictions) made by the nominator. To me the baby looks like it's crying. --Cart (talk) 14:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also think the WikiProject has enough data storage space, to document both historic events and the human moments in them. --Cart (talk) 14:37, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I have looked and pondered and looked and pondered. I don't want to add to the very difficult discussion on the context. I will only talk about the picture. It is moving, but it is not a techically excellent image. And I don't mean just the relatively low resolution. I don't want to go into too many details, as it is surely almost impossible to take excellent images under these conditions.

The quality of finalists in any "Wiki loves..." competition varies. The "Wiki loves.." entries are reviewed in different ways from other criteria than Commons FPs (and QIs) are. Photos that didn't make the final top in "Wiki loves..." can become FPs on Commons, while the finalists might not. --Cart (talk) 14:02, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So can I make proposals of FPs of pictures found in it? I have identified at least 20 pictures found in "Wiki loves ..." that are stunning and would deserve to be submitted as FP.

And they are clearly more impressive than some recent proposals. Ndiver (talk) 14:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can propose any image you find on Commons at FPC. :-) But to stand a chance here, they have to be of excellent quality, so look at them carefully before making a nom. The "Wiki loves..." competitions usually have lots of really good images, and there are some users who go and search for them and nominate them here, but most of the FPC participants are more interested in nominating their own photos. ;-) More users who go through the photos from the competitions are very welcome! --Cart (talk) 14:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Great idea. Too bad it was poorly realized. Heavily reworked, artifacts, unnatural color. Compare the original image with the current version. The grid structure of the masts is barely recognizable. Sorry, but for "excellent" everything has to be right. Je-str (talk) 10:44, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Question Thank you for the feedback. Can you please clarify the unnatural color comment? This is the version where I retained the natural colors. I have another variation where I play with the temperature and tint and it's much prettier and more colorful but not accurate so I didn't use it. And yes there are technical challenges with shooting something many kilometers away in low light so it's not going to be perfect but I think solid enough under the circumstances? Even today's Photo of the Day, which was taken under more favourable daytime conditions, has very visible compression artefacts in the sky. Jay.Jarosz (talk) 13:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay.Jarosz (talk) OK, I revise "unnatural color". The perception of color is indeed very subjective. About the artifacts: The masts look very processed (oversharpened), almost like a graphic. Likewise the mountain flanks. Please compare this Panoramic with a very good distant view. Look how sharp the wind turbines are: Dreisberg 15km away, Allberg 18km away, Großer Ahlertsberg 33km(!) away. And: "Picture of the day" is not to be confused with "excellent". --Sorry Je-str (talk) 19:59, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Je-str Thank you, and yeah I also prefer the less sharpened masts but feedback I got from others, like during QI review, showed a preference for sharpened masts + noise reduction and this was the result. I'm happy to revert to less sharpened if that's the consensus here. The panorama example shared is a daytime shot so the quality is not comparable to nighttime photography. If you have good examples of nighttime distance shots I would be happy to learn from them. All POTD come from FP, so they are the most "excellent" of the "excellent" using your terminology ;) And even then, these most excellent of the excellent have artefacts sometimes so seems like it's not a deal breaker if we are to be consistent with judging criteria.

Support but please consider Ikan and Aristeas' comments above. BigDom (talk) 10:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I’m sorry to be the bad guy, but someone must say it. Even the left part of the photograph is a little bit soft, and the sharpness seriously decreases to the right. For a static subject we can expect more sharpness and detail resolution. There are also some purple CAs at the outer vertical lines. (I can help you with removing them if you want.) It also does not help that the light of the illumination changes its colour substantially – cold and greenish at the left, warmer in the centre, greenish again at the right. (This is no reproach, of course, but it does not help the photo.) I am very sorry, --Aristeas (talk) 09:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm having trouble with her face being kind of in shadow, with her blouse being so much brighter and therefore more emphasized. Was that some kind of stylistic vogue in those days? It feels like a bad practice in portraiture to me. Maybe this is really a VI, rather than an FP, through no fault of your own. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:02, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was. Chiarascuro was a thing. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:03, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd want the chiaroscuro to make the blouse darker than the face. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question I'm new here and wondering is there any guidance on how these older photos are to be critiqued? I've seen people go quite strict on quality for newer images for sharpness, noise, artefacts, etc that this image would fail. At what time period do we drawn the line? And should we also be adjusting judgement of photos based on the camera used? (i.e. be more lenient on older cameras vs new top of the line ones?) --Jay.Jarosz (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quality has to judged according to the technics used, and available at the time. All argentic pictures have some grain. Yann (talk) 10:35, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Ikan’s point is very good … But after looking a few times at the photo in full size, it really impresses me somehow, the chiaroscuro works even if the face in shadows is against all my visual habits. Maybe because the photo shows Mary White Ovington reading, and it works very well as a depiction of the deep contemplation of a reader. --Aristeas (talk) 08:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. I'm abstaining from voting as the author. The image depicts the westernmost part of Dunmanus Bay as seen from Dun Lough lakes. It was taken taken from almost the tip of the Three Castle Head, with the camera facing east, soon after sunrise. Dunlough lake on the right-hand side. No-name lake on the left-hand side. Coosfoilycroneen, Coosheenatowick ocean inlets -- parts of Dunmanus Bay -- visible in distance. The unsharp part at the bottom is deliberate to increase the sense of depth.

Quite simple. Just add them to the Summary field. Copy the template from one of the pictures with geocode. You can pick up the coordinates of your picture from google map (and you can also use decimal format for them) imehling (talk) 16:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done. With many thanks for the advice @Imehling. If you have any tips on how to preserve coordinates all the way from the camera (which sets them for me) through mixed Lightroom and PS pipeline all the way to Wikimedia upload (where they are lost somewhere on the way), I'd love to hear. Podstawko ●talk 21:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The coordinates are part of the metadata of the picture. You should be able to view them with lightroom and to find out at which point of your processing pipeline you lose them. imehling (talk) 17:16, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose Very nice colors and clouds, but the composition doesn't work for me. You have a strong off-vertical line in the lower right third, but it doesn't lead anywhere; it doesn't connect with the hills in the background because the sea cuts it off, and it doesn't connect with the sea because it's not facing the same way. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:52, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info. Abstaining from voting as the author. The image depicts the stopping and then moving of a Konstal 105N-series tram in Przybyszewskiego street in Łódź. It was taken in 2008, early morning. The tram stop is at the corner of Przybyszewskiego and Suwalska streets. The image is an overlay of 2 long-exposure photos. podstawko ●talk 07:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a copyright expert but has really De minimis to do with whether the protected object is clearly visible or not?

I don't think the image has a fair chance now. Regards--ArildV (talk) 09:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is addressed in Commons:De minimis#Guidelines. I see this photo as being beyond category 5, but the "keep" argument is that it's category 5. Could we have an advisory opinion of an admin like User:Yann, or do we need to test this by requesting deletion? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IMO this is pretty clearly de minimis. The compositional reason for including the display is for the text above, which is below COM:TOO China as "simple factual information" (COM:NOP China). The poster is just intrusive advertising (COM:DM #2). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info After a period of reflection, I have decided to resubmit a photograph for consideration. This time, I portray a person in the process of sewing the upholstery of their car in Venezuela. In an era marked by scarcity and poverty, people are compelled to repair their own vehicles. The image I share with you was taken ten years ago and reflects an aspect of the lives of Venezuelans; back then, there was still hope for a better future. I have taken into account and corrected the feedback provided on a previous nomination. I hope you can appreciate this photograph from a human perspective, looking beyond the technical details, considering that it is a shot from a decade ago..

Support Very authentic and charming photograph. Yes, we could make up many possible moans and complaints (face in shadow etc.), but that’s just normal for documentary photographs of daily live – it cannot be perfect in a technical sense. The light from the window gives it a really nice atmosphere. I like that the focus is on his hands and it’s also OK that his left hand shows a little motion blur – after all this is a craftsman at work, he is working with his hands. Maybe one could make the photo a little bit brighter, but it’a also realistic as it is. --Aristeas (talk) 18:38, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Terragio67 for your recognition of my work, and yes making people feel comfortable is not an easy task, it is necessary to approach people and stay with them for a long time until they get used to your presence. In this case, I have known this person for many years, so it was easy to start a conversation about something everyday. I remember that day as if it were yesterday, he started talking to me about how good an upholsterer his father was and how he had left him that sewing machine as a gift, yes, he was talking about my grandfather who had already passed away. He is my father, I have not been able to see him again for 10 years thanks to the dictatorship in Venezuela. Another FPs related:

I have taken other photos that are related to my personal life that would surely be FP, but I cannot upload them because they represent a very crude reality, very difficult to assimilate, I have had to delete those photos.

Comment I believe this is a montage i.e. the left word was cut, copied, flipped and pasted over the blank piece of paper on the right? If so, it seems worthwhile to identify it as such (e.g., 'Photomontages' category and 'Retouched picture' template) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I assumed it was computer-generated to look like pencil, but maybe you're right. If so, then agree. BigDom (talk) 10:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Category "photomontages" added. "Mirror symmetry" is mentioned in the description, and "pencil handwriting on textured paper background". Like File:Ambigram Escher and tessellation background - photomontage with reversible hands.jpg, the template {{Retouched}} is not necessary in my opinion, because the main subject is more the text than the paper (hence the gallery "Non-photographic media"). The background could be anything else. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice ambigram! Maybe a tad underexposed? - Benh (talk) 10:57, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Giving depth to the background (and volume to the texture) was intentional, but my goal was above all to preserve contrast with text color. Is the blue distinguishable or do we see nothing? :-D -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- if the paper is white, it is definitely underexposed. It looks grey on the photo. It's a common mistake to underexpose photo with a dominant white context (because some metering modes will average across all the frame).
Benh (talk) 18:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your remark, with which I totally agree. However, the paper was not white. I would say it was this color, but the intensity of the tint (to the eye) clearly depends on the light, of course -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:40, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid vote (less than 50 edits) -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is not stated that the edits should be only Commons. I have less than 50 on Commons, but more if you consider the whole Wikimedia project (Wikipedia, Wikispecies) See here: https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/meta.wikimedia.org/Ndiver. And notice that I've submitted recently a picture that was approved as FP. Ndiver (talk) 14:42, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Ndiver, but Basile is right. It says clearly on COM:FPC that "contributors whose Commons accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits ", and your Commons account has only 28 edits. You can make nominations, but not vote yet. I suggest you start making yourself useful here on Commons so you can join in the FPC voting. ;-)

Also, the computer editied part of this photo is not a problem. All sorts of excellent images are welcome at FPC, it is only a matter of sorting them right. We who work behind the scenes have been busy this weekend to finish up the new galleries for images like this (we were a bit behind on this), and I can now add that Gallery to this nom. Unfortunately, people tend to think that if there isn't a Gallery for it, then an image can't be featured, but it is the other way around: We create Galleries for the images that are featured, whatever the subject or technique used. --Cart (talk) 15:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plus 'pinging' ArionStar and Julesvernex2 who were worried about the gallery, please read my post above. We are soon done with more new galleries, these things take time to fix, but two are now up and running: Photo techniques/Composites and Montages and Photo techniques/Styles and Techniques. --Cart (talk) 15:53, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info After a long break, I come back with a risky nomination (the kind I prefer!). Yes, most sunsets are equally beautiful but some are more equal than others; I believe this is one of them. I went through all FPs of sunsets/sunrises and realized that the subject is no longer popular. Of the 34 entries, the last is from 2019 and only 4 were promoted after 2015!

Oh, there have been plenty of sunsets and sunrises promoted since then, but these days they are mostly in the galleries of the place they were taken at. While you were gone, a lot has happened with the way Galleries and FP Categories are organized. Go to Category:Sunsets and click on the little icon tool for viewing FPs (or QIs, VIs, Media). That way you can see most of them. Or visit Featured pictures of sunsets or Featured pictures of sunrises.

Oppose. I don't think the image is as breathtaking as the view must have been. Despite high contrast, the blacks and brights and colors seem bleak, there's no excitement here. Did you mean to black the bottom part out completely? If yes, there are some brighter parts on both right and left which feel accidental. Also, the photo does not seem sharp enough either in foreground, or in infinity. podstawko ●talk 15:30, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hello Ikan and Laitche, thank you for your comments! The original version contained very strong CAs. IMHO this version is already a solid improvement, it reduced the CAs by a large margin. It’s not as easy as usual to remove all CAs completely without damaging the image because the CAs have an uncommon colour (red instead of purple) which is not far away from the natural colour of the sand. However, I will look into this and see if we can reduce the CAs even more. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:59, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Dear @Ikan Kekek: Uploaded a new version with even more reduction of red CAs; I hope you like it better. – General mumbling: In the end it’s always the same story. These are (AFAIK) lateral CAs (LaCAs) and you can remove most LaCAs easily by applying a lens profile in the raw converter and/or by using an automatic option offered by most raw converters; and even if neither the one nor the other works, chances are good that one can remove the CAs easily manually during the raw development process. So it’s much easier for the original photographer to fix this. But some photographers don’t care for this. So we are laboriously trying to fix things in post which could have been much easier and better handled in the first place by the original photographers. One reason why some photographers do not care for this is the habit of some WLM/WLE/... juries to award prices to photos only on the base of the “wow”, without looking at the technical quality. This strange state of affairs gives photographers the impression that they do not need to care for CAs etc. --Aristeas (talk) 15:21, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Something about this photo feels artificial, like as if it's a 3D render --Jay.Jarosz (talk) 04:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The light condition are specifically generated to highlight the plasticity of this ceiling (there are quite a number of artifical light sources in this staircase) and the 'colour' scheme is really complementing it. Instead of a stucco ceiling one could happily call it a sculpture. It has been designed to impress visitors to Dresden Castle and it surely worked for me. As much as I would love to be able to create a 3D rendering like that, I just capture what others have created and staged.

Info The photo was blurred by slight but deliberate camera movements, whereby a small touch of sharpness was retained. The golden ratio was placed on the purple-colored leaves, which also show the fine sharpness.

Oppose Sorry, though I simply love that we now can present photos like this and that you are one of the first ones out the gates; this isn't working for me. Now photos with ICM will be reviewed not just as something new, but in relation to what other ICM looks like. ICM should add something to a photo that makes it go beyond just a simple ordinary shot. A feeling, a movent, that little extra spark. It isn't happening on this one for me, it just looks blurry. Dreamy perhaps, but not FP. --Cart (talk) 22:38, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Ceiling of the Arab Hall at Leighton House, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, west London, England. The hall is for many the master piece of the whole artist home and shows Leighton's fascination with the Middle East, that he often visited. The construction started in 1877 and took 4 years to complete. The art museum and historic house is located in the Holland Park area and was the London home of painter Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton (1830–1896), who commissioned the architect and designer George Aitchison to build him a combined home and studio. The resulting building, noted for its elaborate Orientalist and aesthetic interiors, has been open to the public since 1929. The museum was awarded the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award in 2012. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 22:00, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info This is a duplicate of the much better-documented File:ISS001-E-5420 - View of Brazil.jpg. Apparently is not a satellite image, but was taken by some member of the ISS crew? Might want to correct that and adjust the categories, or maybe just merge the two files. --El Grafo (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As far as images taken from space go, this is really not all that impressive. Many rivers release sediments like this, and the image doesn't even really do a great job at depicting that, as most of the river is covered by clouds. Had this actually been a rare picture of the 2015 dam break, that would have been a different story, but I really don't see this among the best of the best. --El Grafo (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like this photo, but I believe I recall at least one existing FP of this oasis and surrounding dunes that I'd like to compare, and as usual, FP search is not working. As I recall, it was by User:Poco a poco. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:27, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need the FP search, you just click on the link to the gallery above [1], and hey presto, you can see both of the photos from the oasis and compare them with this. That's what those gallery links are for. What I don't understand is why we have two so very similar photos of it. --Cart (talk) 00:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If we promote photos were major digital landscaping is done, even if it's declared with the {{Retouched}}, I think we're on a slippery slope. I know that Wilfredor is no stranger to improving his photos, 1 and 2. Slightly altered colors on a FPC is frowned upon. To me this removal of large "irritating parts" of the photo is just as bad. Nominations where an unfortunate sign, parked can or blurry human mess up the composition, (all mobile objects) are frequently not featured because the author wants to stay true to the scene. Removing whole trees, on FPCs or FPs, is not ok for me. The trees here embed the house in the forest, and it looks great. --Cart (talk) 15:23, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have always been sincere but we cannot control what others do, if we prevent large alterations in the photos, someone will still make them whether we want it or not and it will be impossible to identify that there was an alteration on the original --Wilfredor (talk) 17:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is probably true, and I think it has already happened many times and we haven't discovered it, but just because it exists doesn't mean we have to encourage it. It's getting harder and harden to see what is genuine photos or computer-enhanced photos. I see the photo without the trees in the same light as I saw the photo with an added moon. Remove something big or add something big, and it's no longer a true representation of the subject. --Cart (talk) 18:23, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In a small size, the new version is for sure more appealing. In full size, however, several distortions appear as a result of the removal of the tree. A picture with those defects would had never been accepted as a featured image. Why should we substitute the original one? --Harlock81 (talk) 18:28, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The new photo should fail at FPC if nominated. It's very poorly stitched above the house, with a very unsharp area. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:56, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Personally I don't have any qualms with structural modifications to images, as long as they are i) clearly declared (which I think is the case for this image); and ii) well done (which is not the case). Wilfredor, I assume you have used Adobe's AI generative fill for this? Currently it doesn't work well with high resolution files. Instead, try to generate individual 2,000 x 2,000 pixel areas. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We produce pictures for an encyclopedia so we shouldn't deviate too much from reality. I think deleting moveable things like litter is ok because it still shows the object as it could be, but enhancements with AI are not acceptable any more. By the way there should be some general guidelines for this because sooner or later we aren't able to see any more what is real and what is artificial on the pictures here. --imehling (talk) 07:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's only one of Commons' goals. If we want FPs to be a representative selection of "content can be used by anyone, anywhere, for any purpose" we need less rules, not more. Any additional caveat we introduce stifles new nominators (particularly those that don't speak English) and further limits nominations to overrepresented genres (e.g., landscapes, wildlife, macro, architecture)- --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Julesvernex2 that Commons is for all sorts of images, and I think we are going to see many more digitally manipulated images now that it's so easy to make. But I also think there needs to be a very clear way of seeing what images are in their original state and which ones are not. The 'Retouched' template is not enough. Often it is used by conscientious authors in cases where very minor things have been altered. It is also far down below the info field where many users who go looking for photos for articles don't look. Large fixes like this should be declared in the title (File:My picture - photoshopped.jpg]]) and the description, not just tacked on "below the fold". Correct categories about the alteration should also be added to the file. With so much AI and enhancing we see, correct information is gold. For me, altered photos are welcome at FPC, but they should not end up among other more true representations of places, since they are misleading. --Cart (talk) 10:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point, and I'll add the appropriate category to my own manipulated images, alongside their existing {{Retouched}} template (changing all their files names would test the patience of file movers, though). However, as you hint, perhaps the broader issue is how to identify non-declared AI images. In the short-term, tools such as AI or Not have been shown to be effective. In the longer-term, I would like to see Wikimedia integrate initiatives such as CPI. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:22, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree both with Julesvernex2 and Cart.

(1) Julesvernex2 has even found a clear, but still unobtrusive way to indicate the level of post-processing with the “PPLx” hints in the filename (see User:Julesvernex2, scroll down and expand the “By PPL (Post Processing Level)” tab). Maybe we could recommend that approach for general use. I just think we should differentiate PPL3 into PPL3 to PPL5 – reserving PPL3 for the removal of mid-size temporary elements (cars, people etc.), PPL4 for the removal of bigger permanent elements and the addition or editing of mid-size parts of the image (still in agreement with factual reality), PPL5 for extensive montages. The photo discussed here would be PPL4.

(2) Agree also that in the long run the identification of (mostly) AI-generated images will be our biggest challenge. I hope that initiatives like CPI will provide the necessary level of differentiation (how much of a photo was changed/generate by AI?), because unlike some sport news agencies we cannot prescribe our users just to upload out-of-camera JPEG files (this would limit image quality extremely, using raw image files is essential for many advanced photographers). We need to support many levels of image developing, editing and post-processing, just indicating the amount of manipulation.

(3) In that respect, the existing Category:Digitally manipulated photographs and its subcategories are far too general, we must create more specific subcategories in order to differentiate and indicate the level of digital manipulation. In the end each photo from any digital camera is “digitally manipulated” (many users don’t realize it but the cameras do much with the data from the sensor, every out-of-camera JPEG file is already the result of an extensive development process, and in the end the photos from modern cellphones are completely “photoshopped” images). So we must draw a distinction here and create appropriate subcategories which indicate more exactly what has been done. --Aristeas (talk) 10:36, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good point on adding PPL4 and PPL5 levels (and perhaps PPL6, for fully-AI generated images?). Happy to discuss this further if others are interested in adopting this sort of scale. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 15:39, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Ikan. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:58, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I don't mind removing the tree, since it is not an essential or important part of the composition, and since the modification is declared; but per Ikan and Jules, there are other issues present. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Removing the tree is not an acceptable edit in my view. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:09, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My general view on modifications is that they should only be used to correct mistakes or temporary situations in order to produce a final product that could have been captured in real life. For example, if there are some small distracting branches in the corner, you could have moved a little bit out of the way, so removing them is fine. Removing one particularly disturbing person/car is also fine (but generally not removing all the traffic if it would falsely imply that a popular tourist destination is deserted). Here, the branches are very prominent and right in the middle, so you could not have taken a photo without them without significantly changing the composition, so the edited version is not an accurate portrayal of reality. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:14, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Similar to what King of Hearts mentioned, I think the originality as a reflection of reality should not be fundamentally changed with AI. It would be different if the tree had been cut down, as can be seen in a series of my own pictures: in 2021 the first oak on the left was still visible, in 2022 not, because the municipality had cut it down. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Christopher Street at Ursula Street in Valletta, Malta. I spent some time in Valletta recently and took a lot of pictures trying to capture the unique experience of walking around the capital -- the stone architecture, straight and narrow streets, hilly terrain, and ubiquitous religious iconography (that's St. Roch there on the left, a saint associated with the plague and accompanied by the dog that supposedly healed him). I noticed we have very few photos of Malta, and this one is among the more successful to me personally, so giving it a try here. Will it resonate with anyone else? I'm not sure. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:22, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:22, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose if the intent was to emphasize the people coming at the viewer, then I think the framing is too wide. If the intent was to show a panoramic view of the street, then the framing is too tight at the bottom (like you scroll down and it ends to early). It could be interesting to crop much of the sides and get a portrait alternative but then the quality might fall a bit short (it is already quite noisy). I also think it would have been better with the people going away instead. - Benh (talk) 19:50, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I very much liked the experience of walking around Valletta, so to clarify my intent, it's very much an attempt to capture my experience of walking around there, highlighting the things I liked in particular (the distinct 4/5-story stone buildings with their varied balconies and architectural details, the religious imagery on every block, the long and narrow steets, always looking slightly upward at the buildings. So I'm less interested in the subjectivity of the people in the frame since all they're really doing is illustrating that this is the sort of place where people exist and often walk down the middle of the street, and I wouldn't want to crop it because the balconies and statues are the point. I feel like it was successful at capturing my experience, but how well that's communicated to another viewer I don't know. There were a couple others that I think were successful, too, but both have quality reasons why I wouldn't nominate them here (some technical shortcomings here and here, as well as an unbalanced comp that probably wouldn't work for most). I don't expect to change your vote but figured I'd response on the subject of intent. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 20:45, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support The composition is ok in my view --imehling (talk) 07:01, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Works for me as a compressed view of that picturesque street. The statue of Jesus Christ at the top left which seems to point to the street, the green balcony at the top right and the single person at the bottom centre form a triangle of attention which consolidates the composition. --Aristeas (talk) 09:43, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The white balance is off, either because the camera was blinded by the sun, or something is overdone in post-processing. Greenish tint everywhere.

Comment A splendid view. I’m not sure about the white balance – it’s a bit greenish, yes, but not much, any changes would need to be done very carefully.

Support Nominated over a month ago by me, but did not pass for lack of required support votes—perhaps I didn’t correct the dust spot as swiftly as I should have, or didn’t explain its unique historical and geographical context.

Oppose Please read this recent discussion about re-nominations. It looks like the previous candidature did not gather much enthusiasm. We like diversity at FPC, so please don't renominate too quickly the same images until they get promoted due to tiredness. I did not support the first time, because I find the colors washed out and the light dull. Sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:03, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was nominated a month and a half ago, and a big dust spot was pointed out. Since the image had already been featured on wikipedia, where the dust spot had managed to go unnoticed, I was slightly late to remove it. A misspelling in the filename was also highlighted, which I could fix only after the nom was over. I'm not trying to manipulate the process to get the image promoted, I apologize if that's what it came across as. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 12:00, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The dust spot was notified on September 26, and corrected only 2 days later, on September 28. Then, from this date until October 4, end of the voting period, 6 days passed, with just 2 supporters. This low level of participation illustrates the moderate enthusiasm, in my opinion. I don't think the reviewers abstained from voting because of the spelling mistake. That's usually not a prohibitive factor (there have been similar cases in the past). Thus this re-nomination sounds a bit like "only two supports missing the first time, maybe a second round will be more generous" :-) Basile Morin (talk) 13:30, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. It is the largest Catholic church in the UK and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. The site on which the cathedral stands in the was purchased by the Diocese of Westminster in 1885, and construction completed in 1903. The temple was designed by John Francis Bentley in neo-Byzantine style, and accordingly made almost entirely of brick, without steel reinforcements, Sir John Betjeman called it "a masterpiece in striped brick and stone" that shows "the good craftsman has no need of steel or concrete.". c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:32, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info The Abbazia di Santa Maria del Monte is an ancient Benedictine monastery located on the Spaziano Hill in Cesena, Italy. The monastery has a rich history, and it is home to a statue of the Madonna, which was brought there in 1318. Inside the abbey there are frescoes and works of art of historical value from the 15th and 16th centuries and beyond.

Done Thanks for your comments. I uploaded a new version using the DPP4 Canon software (moving the option Faith to Fine). Now, the image should be a little bit darker but detailed and slighty sharper than in the previous one. Let me provide you with some additional information, my camera was 24 meters from the stairs and 36 meters from the altar and the marble that can be seen around the altar is fake: it is painting done by skilled italian Renaissance artists. (Please, clear your cache to see the new img). --Terragio67 (talk) 05:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but I have to blend an identical image underexposed in the center. To do this I just uploaded a new HDR version. Terragio67 (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The exposure of the Virgin Mary and surroundings are better but lacking in detail. I appreciate the work you've done to improve the image, I'm sorry that it does not appeal to me sufficiently to support either alternative. Tagooty (talk) 13:23, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't find this image engaging, and I don't understand why you decided to shoot it this way. The frog's perspective is unjustified, the interesting altar disappears dominated by walls, and if anything catches attention here it is the shiny floor. podstawko ●talk 11:32, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Podstawko, to see the details of the base of the Altar, it is necessary to go to the upper part of the Abbey, above the 18 steps. Instead, to take this shot I moved just outside the central main entrance, where there are other steps going down. The lowest angle I used allows you to see much of the Renaissance work above the altar very well. This was my intent. Terragio67 (talk) 15:19, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose both versions per Tagooty and Benh. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info The Santa Maria del Monte Abbey was founded around the year 1001 and completed in 1026. In 1177, he welcomed Emperor Frederick Barbarossa as a guest, who gave him his full protection. The monastery has a rich history and is home to a statue of the Madonna, which was brought there in 1318. During the Renaissance in Italy, it began to take on the appearance it has today; in fact, inside the abbey there are frescoes and works of art of historical value from the 15th and 16th centuries and beyond. The lower angle chosen to take the shot, allows you to see part of it. A curiosity: the colored marbles visible around the altar are fake, they are paintings created by skilled Renaissance artists.

Support Tranquil and interesting church interior. The composition/crop is unusual, of course, but it’s true that the low point of view allows us to see more of the Renaissance frescoes (?) above the altar, so this composition has its merits. --Aristeas (talk) 14:06, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're right to use the question mark between the parentheses. Between 1536 and 1548, the abbey took on the appearance it has today, among the frescoes there are still some works by Francesco Masini. In 1768 a devastating earthquake partially destroyed the dome. In 1774 Giuseppe Milani was commissioned to restore the frescoes. He was authorized to maintain and recover what was possible and was authorized to carry out new works. The latter (you are right) do not belong to the Renaissance. I added some images note...

Oppose Come on guys. The bar is super high for our church interior. No way we are saying this is as good as what we have. Where to start? No wow. Don't think the angle is wide enough for a church interior. Very unsharp. Very unfortunate and distracting horizontal bars, which are going through the supposedly interesting paintings.

@Benh: I'm not sure what "wow" means in the context of a church interior, since a photographer's creative choices are highly limited. For me a church interior is FP if the subject is reasonably interesting, the composition does justice to the subject, and the technical quality and execution are excellent. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The image is good and interesting, but not completely in focus or, if you prefer, sufficiently detailed. This issue appears to be similar to previous FP nominations as well.

I purchased a new Canon M 55-200 lens and I have already tried some photos on a painting from the 1500s with surprising results considering the difficulties linked to artificial lighting.

Info I saw this hedgehog making return trips in under a bush right outside my house, so eventually I took the camera and creapt in after it. It was pretty dark in there, hence the high ISO, and no way I was going to use a flash. It continued to build its nest and slept there during the winter.

Sorry, no other angle available. Hedgehogs often live and hibernate in piles of leaves, branches and grass in gardens here in Sweden. This may look like an open place, but it was not. The nest was like a small "cave" in the heap of leaves and grass under a bush. It had a narrow short tunnel as an entrance to it, just wide enough for me to fit the lens into it. There was enough light filtering in through the branches above for a couple of photos, I was very lucky to get as much of its face as I did. Naturally, I wasn't about to stick in my hand and rearrange the nest to get an unblocked angle, even though the nest was only one meter from my mailbox, and the pathway with lots of people going by. Like I said, they are used to us humans, but rearranging their nests for a photo op is absolutely not ok. Many people here build nest boxes for hedgehogs, and sometimes they place cameras in them to monitor the activity in the nest. --Cart (talk) 11:56, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dislike ♻ recycling? Or just upset because I opposed your nomination one minute earlier?

I'll certainly not stop sharing my useful comments on this open platform. This mailbox is amazing, and surprisingly nobody has noticed it above, before me. Is it such a gorgeous optical illusion that everybody missed this important detail? :And what else could have been invented by the imaginative artist, instead of this clever swing, to take advantage of this special feature and constraint in the door? We call this Ougrapo (sort of "graphic design under constraints"), or in French Ouvroir de peinture potentielle.

Honi soit qui mal y pense :-)

If it's not a letterbox, please explain. Perhaps my mind should not go to the mail carrier? Or is it the painting which should be censored? -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I belief I am not the only one associating something sexual when they read about a "postman" (not mail carrier!) "enjoy[ing] slipping the mail" in. If you truly want your comments to be useful, try to avoid this kind of association. Your comment of "Honi soit qui mal y pense" shows that you perfectly understand what is bothering me. Trying to derail the conversation with your opening questions and trying to make it about a different behaviour of yours, which was fully acceptable and normal, is way off the point.

Nothing is wrong with the painting itself. It is your comment that is not appropriate. Kritzolina (talk) 10:12, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Postman" is the standard word for mail carrier, right? postwoman is rare. Should we change the dictionary words in this situation?

This mail box is a great example of trompe-l'œil. Do we agree on that?

Similarly the walkers may enjoy climbing up these escalators and the drivers (males or females) parking their cars on this parking. There's nothing wrong in my comment.

It's totally possible that a sexual intention was deliberate by the painter, I have no idea, and my only goal was to highlight the letterbox / swing. I love creativity on constraint. This is just creativity on constraint. Another artist would have imagined a circus, personally I would have imagined a dresser drawer, but well, it is an ass on a swing, well, that's life.

Comment The template about FOP in Portugal (included on this photo) says that under Portuguese law the name of the artist must be given alongside derivative works like this one wherever possible. "Wherever possible" does not mean "only if it's easy", there is an onus on the publisher to make a reasonable attempt to ascertain ownership of the original work. This one is signed at the bottom, so it should be possible to find out the full name of the artist and properly attribute them. BigDom (talk) 07:23, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I'm still new to this forum, but isn't the idea of a featured photo to be in some way special? I don't see anything exceptional in either how the subject was photographed or in the scene captured. In addition there are basic faults (awkward crop, tilt, string of saliva in the mouth). podstawko ●talk 06:59, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Of course it's tilted but it's not a building picture. About the string of saliva, I suppose it's a joke. The fact that you can see it is more an argument for the quality of detail of the photo... --Selbymay (talk) 09:11, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Selbymay, thanks for responding. No, the comment about the string of saliva is not a joke, and the fact that we can see it is definitely not an argument for the quality of the photo, merely a testament to the sharpness :). Additionally, careful and aesthetic cropping and tilting does not apply to buildings only, I'm not not sure where you read that rule. Do you think that the photographer made a deliberate decision here to tilt the photo to the left, and to just show like 2 cm of her blue dress at the bottom? If yes, I'd love to understand their reasoning behind these decisions. podstawko ●talk 09:24, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I don't think we can give our opinion of a picture of a landscape, a church or a human being with the absolut sames criteria, here on FP. Furthermore, this image is a close up of a singer on stage so I don't understand why the tilt or the string of saliva could be considered as "faults". The photographer seems not to be a commonist as the picture was transferred from flickr so we don't know why he cropped that much (3 936 × 2 418 pixels only for a 24MP camera) but I guess he had his reasons. Not being an absolute fan of this image, I prefer not to vote but I must admit it's a pretty good one. Selbymay (talk) 22:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, de gustibus non est disputandum. To me there's not much to this picture other than sharpness, and sharpness alone is too little to qualify for featured. Even the "impressive facial expression" which someone mentioned is not really impressive. Would anyone even pay attention to a different person, not a celebrity, photographed in the exact same pose? And to your point: the same criteria are not applied to landscapes and humans, but the same scrutiny and high quality bar for FP qualification are. If there was no reason for the original photographer to tilt and awkwardly crop, then we're looking at an image where a lot has been left to chance. This is not to say that accidental photos can't be fabulous (vide Winogrand's photography for example...), but this one is not. Even within the genre of concert photography, this is not an outstanding example, which you should probably know better than I do. podstawko ●talk 07:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Would anyone even pay attention to a different person, not a celebrity, photographed in the exact same pose?" I would. I didn't know who she was, just a singer performing.

Nope, as I said. I suppose I've heard some of her songs, but it's probably not the type of music I usually seek out.

Oppose I agree, the background is not the best, human-made elements are also a minus and I'd rather see a sharp head with the body behind it but not a blurry body in the foreground Poco a poco (talk) 10:31, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It's a nice scene but the execution is far from FP material unfortunately. The composition is uneven and the light's attention is on the tower but it's out of focus. --Jay.Jarosz (talk) 06:04, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like the crop as-is. It's not just about the building, but also the context in which it is located and the unique lines, shapes, and colors that come with the landscape. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:46, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose there certainly is a FP in this scene, but it's not quite there yet, imo. To me it feels like you couldn't decide whether to crop close to focus on the building or wide to include some context and then just chose something half-way in-between. "Kein Fisch und kein Fleisch" sozusagen. Maybe try a wider aspect ratio? --El Grafo (talk) 10:54, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
