  • Nomination Picture of a Fussball Player. By User:Panyd --Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 15:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Oppose background out of focus --PIERRE ANDRE LECLERCQ 17:33, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
    •   Comment I am pretty sure the background is supposed to be out of focus here. You cannot take a macro shot like this one with a sharp background, depth of field being a few centimetres. So your point is questionable, please reconsider your vote. --Kreuzschnabel 06:55, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support I disagree. Its not possible without focus stacking (in this case more than 50 pictures) to get an focused background. Its a macro-picture! --Hubertl 19:42, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I don’t mind the background blur of course but the main subject is ooF as well (focus is somewhere around its ears). --Kreuzschnabel 06:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I ask myself why if this was taken at f/11 is the main subject so unsharp? Is it because at 800 ISO the noise reduction has eaten away at the detail? Ram-Man 04:01, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Weak   Support because the "face" is a bit out of focus. But it's quite a good picture and the blurry background is great ! --TwoWings 16:06, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Neutral - I think the focus is fine, I'm just not sold on the composition. Mattbuck 09:19, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Total: 2 support (excluding the nominator), 3 oppose →   Declined   --Hubertl 08:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Nomination Statue “Saint Nepomuk” and former bridge at the Große Teichsmühle, Hausdülmen, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany --XRay 05:51, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Support Good quality. --Cayambe 12:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose due to overexposed sky. --Mattbuck 00:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose overexposed sky.--Jebulon 19:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Comment Sorry, histogram is good. Only very minor parts are overexposed. Most of the sky is OK with values like #e9f0f8 or #eef1f8. Is a bright sky similar to an overexposed sky?--XRay 06:50, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support I find that the sky is not overexposed. Good quality. --Steindy 01:37, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support Should we consider this sky to be reason for opposing? There is no (or very limited) color distortion and it's not distracting at all. This is much better than many other QIs with similar sky and tree content. The rest of the image is detailed and the lighting, while bright, is not harsh. Ram-Man 03:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose The contrast isn't very good to me. The sky is overexposed while the statue is underexposed. --TwoWings 16:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support Per Ram-Man --Livioandronico2013 22:05, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Nomination PCAPH vs CERN CC - 20140911 - batting --Pleclown 11:43, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  • Weak   Support Good quality, but sharpness could be better. --XRay 09:05, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Noticable CA, areas of overexposure. --Mattbuck 23:11, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support good photo taken at the instant when the red ball comes on the baseball cricket bat --PIERRE ANDRE LECLERCQ 21:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
    •   Comment First off it's cricket, not baseball. Second, the subject doesn't matter if the image is no good technically. Mattbuck 23:18, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose One of the images which are really nice yet not supportable for me. Greatly captured instant but the overexposure on the players garments makes me decline. Sharpness barely acceptable for me. His unfavourable expression with his tongue out is another drawback. --Kreuzschnabel 06:25, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  • A really rare good snapshot to catch the scene so. For this reason alone   Support. --Steindy 01:42, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Steindy: You seem to not understand what QI is about. We do not care how rare or unusual the subject is - that is for COM:VI. We care only about technical quality. If a photo is not good in technical aspects then it cannot be QI. Mattbuck 17:27, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
    Dear Mattbuck! Yes I know, I make not only shitty pixel garbage, also I'm too stupid to understand this game, that it is named QI. And of sports photos I have as a longtime sports photographer absolutely no idea. It's pathetic when evaluating Photos only on whether a CA is to see disparage the other capacities of the photographer. It is almost amusing, what arguments to everything here to read. Anyway... Regards --Steindy 21:18, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support The sharpness is alright. I see the fringing, but it's very minor and not enough on its own to oppose. As for the exposure, I consider it relatively minor. I could bring back a little detail in photoshop, but it's a white shirt so I'm not missing much. We usually give the benefit of the doubt to sports photography anyway, although IMO it probably doesn't need it here. Ram-Man 03:50, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

File:London MMB «V6 Canary Wharf.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination Canary Wharf. Mattbuck 08:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Oppose nice fog, but extremely perspective distorted --Hubertl 15:42, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
    While I do generally believe in perspective correction, it's not always a good thing - for instance if you're angling your camera up or down significantly, perspective correction becomes so extreme it makes the entire thing look unnatural and wrong. Mattbuck 09:29, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support Deliberate perspective with not disturbing framing --Christian Ferrer 08:10, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Comment Demagentification required. --Kreuzschnabel 13:46, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Kreuzschnabel:   Done Mattbuck 23:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose --Dnalor 01 16:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Weird perspective. --Palauenc05 21:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
    Weird perspective? What does that even mean? Mattbuck 22:10, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Awful perspective distortion. --Steindy 01:32, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
    What would be awful would be correcting this one - it would look very unnaturally stretched. Mattbuck 09:00, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Comment I tried myself a correction and it didn't really looked that bad (I widened it after perspective correction). IMHO camera is this case isn't angled enough to produce an unnatural result if perspective is corrected. --C messier 16:12, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose perspective too distorted --PIERRE ANDRE LECLERCQ 15:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Good composition and perspective is ok, but image is not sharp. --Shansov.net 02:57, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
    That's called fog... Mattbuck 22:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support as for Christian Ferrer -- Smial 06:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support I agree.... as for Christian Ferrer -- DerFussi 09:25, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support There's absolutely nothing wrong with the perspective. There's a bit of unsharpness due to the fog. In other cases this would probably lead me to a decline, but in this case the fog is an integral part of the image rather than a disturbing element, so I'm perfectly fine with that. You can't have both, fog and sharp subjects in the distance. --El Grafo 14:51, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support per El Grafo --TwoWings 16:13, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support perspective is good so. --Ralf Roletschek 19:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose as the other opponents, sorry. --Milseburg (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support Agree with El Grafo Poco a poco 16:54, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Support As above though noise is a bit disturbing. Alvesgaspar 13:05, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
  •   Oppose   Neutral Not enought sharp,blur in lower part --Livioandronico2013 19:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Livioandronico2013: would you mind pointing out what areas you think are unsharp or blurred? Because I see a photo which is 100% sharp, even despite the fog. Mattbuck 20:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Mattbuck: See note --Livioandronico2013 08:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Livioandronico2013: - I do not see any blur there at all. If it is slightly less sharp it's likely due to the focus being on the far building rather than the near one. Mattbuck 16:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Mattbuck: Ok,maybe you are right --Livioandronico2013 22:00, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
    @Mattbuck: Are you sure about "100% sharp" ? Maybe you are looking at downsampled version instead of actual size ? --Shansov.net 23:36, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
