  • Good quality. Very nice view. --Smial 15:20, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

  •   Fixed Thanks. It's fixed now.--XRay 16:25, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Mmmm maybe I didn't explain myself, you have changed WB, but dark parts and the sky are still dark imo. I'm taking it to CR so more people can give their opinion. --Kadellar 17:02, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Fixed Fixed. Difficult. Parts of the stone are ver bright, other parts very dark. IMO now that's the best way for this image.--XRay 09:01, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

      strong oppose As Alvesgaspar. Lack of detail, nothing in focus IMO. CAs... poor quality IMO--Lmbuga 19:38, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
      Oppose Per Lmbuga  --Livioandronico2013 21:18, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Oddly, I find this whole thing acceptable except for the very odd haloing around everything. It's visible even in the thumbnails. Ram-Man 03:44, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Ram-Man: He is new to QIC; but has some good tools and resources. I noticed he is using the auto mode. May be some good advice will help him to improve. Jkadavoor 07:22, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Insufficient quality at all. --Steindy 21:03, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Very interesting shot but most of it is unsharp, DoF too shallow. I don’t like the haloing and posterization on the edges too. Digitally refocused? --Kreuzschnabel 20:30, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

  • Promotion Good quality. Summertime as its best! --Hubertl 18:11, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Halo. I wish another opinion, please.--Jebulon 20:48, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Comment The halo is not an artifact, it is there in reality you can see it with your naked eye so why should I take it away, please answer my questions. --Moroder 12:27, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
    •   CommentArtifact or not, I see a halo, and I find this is disturbing. That is why CR exists. Please don't try intimidation with me, we both are too old for that. And I have no problem if some here think it is a QI. 5/1? Ok, it is a QI, that's the majority rule.--Jebulon 21:43, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
      •   Comment Why halo ? Because the photographer is facing the sun, of course... Nothing extraordinary here. Wrong moment of the day, that's all.--Jebulon 13:25, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support QI. --P e z i 14:24, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

  • Promotion The windmill is out of focus, otherwise I liked the picture, sorry. --Ruthven 12:32, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
    I disagree. How will you get a focus within a fog? --Hubertl 14:05, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
    Maybe that's the difficulty of photographing thorough the fog. Another opinion is then welcome. --Ruthven 09:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support This picture works for me. Ram-Man 03:46, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose No doubt that it's a really nice picture. However, I don't think that it meets the QI criteria. It's simply not sharp. Looks a little bit like a camera shake. --Code 13:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support Good quality. --Steindy 20:58, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

  • Nomination Pickering railway station. Mattbuck 08:05, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion A little underexposed and I think that white balance should be adjusted as well. --Ruthven 12:28, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
    I disagree the decline, but I agree with the lighten up. WB is ok, I think. --Hubertl 02:57, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

File:African_Lion_Panthera_leo_Snow_Pittsburgh_2816px.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination African Lion. Yes it has CAs. Lots of them. It's from an old camera, and the picture still looks nice. --Ram-Man 04:42, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Oppose An old camera does not justify exceptions from image guidelines. Removing CA is an easy to apply postprocessing work. While the CA are fixable, my decline goes for the blurry snowflakes. --Cccefalon 08:20, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
    Easy? Only if you have the software to fix it, which I don't. Anyway, it's a picture with falling snow, of course the flakes are blurry. Ram-Man 13:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Comment Blurry snowflakes can't be a reason for declining. That's what makes the picture interesting. CA may be fixable. Regards, Yann 12:13, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose -- This is a very nice composition despite the tight crop above. Unfortunatley one of the lions is out of focus. The blurred snowflakes don't bother me. Alvesgaspar 11:22, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Per Alvesgaspar--Lmbuga 22:52, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

File:Kasteel_Schoonselhof_Antwerpen.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination Kasteel Schoonselhof Antwerpen --Brackenheim 15:36, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  • Needs perspective correction Poco a poco 15:52, 23 November 2014 (UTC)~
  • I disagree: Since the camera position obviously was far below the vertical center of the building, it's perfectly normal that the verticals seem to lean in a bit at the top. Making things perfectly straight works to some degree for buildings with a more or less flat front, but here we have some very 3D features – for example, we are looking at the underside of the roof (especially visible in the triangle). Making the verticals vertical will only make it look less natural, because the observer's brain will get mixed signals: 1) Straight verticals implying that the eye level is somewhere around the vertical center of the building and 2) 3D features such as the roof, the windowsill or the arcs above the windows implying that eye level actually is somewhere around the top step. --El Grafo 13:19, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support Ram-Man 13:40, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

  •   Support I don't see what the fuss is. Beautiful picture. Jakec 00:19, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support Sometimes i wish the analog time back, where perspective correction was not possible (just wisth tilt shift lens). In this case I need geometric measurements in the file to find any distorsions. So i dont see any reason to dismiss it. Good quality. -- DerFussi 05:03, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

  •   Oppose White halo in the sky. I wish other votes, please.--Jebulon 21:10, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Comment This is how Jebulon spoils and spoiled some of my best nominations. I already made the point about it innumerable times. I use some of the best photographic equipment( lenses and camera). I am very accurate with the exposure and make very little adjustments on the RAW files. I almost never do any sharpening. Well, the small 2-3 pixel margins are artifacts of digital photography and are absolutely IRRELEVANT compared to the size of the image. The larger halos are not artifacts and you observe them easily around backlit objects even with the naked eye. I don't know how to explain that physical phenomenon but still I don't think it's disturbing. So what? --Moroder 23:26, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
    •   Comment "So what" ? I think it is disturbing.--Jebulon 21:34, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support I can see that "white halo" in the thumbnail, but at larger sizes it starts to disappear and is almost gone at full size. Not really an issue imho, just like those hints of chromatic aberration you can see along the the top of the tower. --El Grafo (talk) 08:33, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support Checking the threshold, there is a gradient of tones from the top right to the horizon, so it does not appear to have been caused by an incorrect unsharp mask. I don't see any indication that this was anything other than a natural phenomenon, unless someone can show otherwise? Ram-Man 13:45, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support Good quality. --Steindy 21:50, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support maybe its something personal between Jebulon and Moroder. That should´nt be. Unfortunately, it continues. --Hubertl 22:09, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose per Jebolon, the halos: bad image processing. --Alchemist-hp 15:46, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
    •   Comment How can you say that, since there was no processing at all? I wish I could send you the RAW file --Moroder 18:20, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
      •   Comment No camera processing neither ? As the photographer was almost in front of the sun, the facade we see was probably too much in shadow. Brightening it (even automatically) creates the halo.--Jebulon 13:37, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
        •   Comment The camera is set at neutral --Moroder 22:11, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

  •   Oppose re Jebulon. It looks very strange, I'd appreciate if the photographer would explain what happened here. Ram-Man 13:38, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Its difficult to change the background, in this case, the edges are too hard, he did´nt soften it. Probably just one layer, no mask. --Hubertl 22:18, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Comment I tried to fix this problem but it's difficult. There are too many different coloration of blue. (FYI: There was a small but disturbing part of a lamp that doesn't belong to the motif.)--XRay 16:34, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

    • It is better now, but I find the correction too strong for the tower at right, which looks strange and unreal.--Jebulon 13:41, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Perspective should be corrected. --Berthold Werner 08:29, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I am not a fan of discussion about 0.2 degrees but in this case it's visible at the first glance. Really need some correction. Maybe not enough space at the top then, but you can have it filled up. -- DerFussi 05:11, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
