  • Decline
  •   Comment A bit oversaturated. The guy with the bag looks weired. --Ermell 20:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
    •   Done Done with saturation. I cannot fix the guy now. --Moahim 18:58, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose No QI for me. Sorry. --Ermell 19:11, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose This fits more for an Instagram post, but sorry not a QI. --Vincent60030 05:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

File:WLM_-_2020_-_Stralsund_-_Lotsenhaus.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination The "Pilot House", Stralsund, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. --Moahim 07:57, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Comment Good quality but the sky is to dark imo. --ArildV 08:07, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment Actually, I think it looks great against the dark (polarised?) sky. But I'd crop out a lot of the bottom which shows too much dead space. (I might also try cropping out the portable toilets and see whether that worked.) --Bobulous 20:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
    •   Done Yes, the sky is polarized. I tried new crop. --Moahim 18:56, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment Yes, that's much better, giving more attention to the building and the boat. --Bobulous 21:26, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Sorry, we need to discuss the dark sky. --ArildV 17:33, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Sorry, the sky looks over-edited which does not appear natural. --Vincent60030 05:56, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
    •   Comment The darkened sky is not the result of editing, but a natural effect of using a polarising filter. I think in this case it gave a very dramatic look, and focused attention on the rich texture and colour of the building. --Bobulous 19:09, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
      •   Neutral hmm after the edit I think it is more balanced now as it was really intense. --Vincent60030 10:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support Setting the polarizer to maximum effect is a matter of taste. I can not see technical issues preventing QI status. --Smial 11:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Too dark. --Kallerna 11:30, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Done So. let's try new version. --Moahim 18:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support Am I right in thinking that each time a new version is created, all votes are effectively zeroed, and only votes made after the change are counted? If so, count this as a vote for the new version. --Bobulous 19:21, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment No, all previous votes for the old version remain. --ReneeWrites 22:08, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support IMHO it’s OK now. --Aristeas 07:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Looks much better now, but the upper part of the building and its roof are showing too much distortion.--Augustgeyler 10:35, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
      Comment Sorry, but I disagree with this remark. This is rather a feature of architecture. --Moahim 18:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
      Question What kind of distortion do you mean? No offence, I just wanted to ask. --Aristeas 16:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
      Comment @Moahim and Aristeas: The outer vertical lines are opening to the top and getting strongly closer to the bottom. --Augustgeyler (talk) 21:48, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
      Comment @Augustgeyler: Ah, thank you! Yes, I see this, but I would assume that this is a historical building which just does not have perfectly straight walls. In photos like this one it is often not possible to find a correction which makes all vertical lines perfectly vertical. If I compare other vertical lines in the photo, e.g. the lamp posts or the railing of the stairs, I would guess that Moahim has done a good job and found the a good compromise; because if we would make the vertical lines of the building straight, other vertical lines would be leaning in. Best, --Aristeas 09:04, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
      Comment @Aristeas: You are absolutely right. That's why I would try to take such a picture with a longer focal length or try to find a higher standpoint for not having to tilt the camera to the sky that much. But, well, it might be a matter of taste. There is still a majority voting pro. Best regards --Augustgeyler 09:47, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support Per others, but geocode would be fine. --Palauenc05 06:37, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
      Done I added geocode --Moahim 08:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
  --Palauenc05 10:19, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support because it's a very good photo. I doubt the sky was really that dark, though. -- Ikan Kekek 09:53, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Nomination Rothschild Boulevard 89. By User:Degser --Andrew J.Kurbiko 08:14, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Comment Hi there, parts of it look tilted. Degser could a perspective correction be done? --Vincent60030 10:29, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Please fill in a reason why the image does not meet the guidelines. --Andrew J.Kurbiko 21:18, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment Excuse me @Andrew J.Kurbiko: , please open your eyes before you move this to discussion. I asked for a perspective correction, and I never rejected the picture. --Vincent60030 05:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
    • Oh, sorry, I simply used a standard template red template to remove nomination by myself. I can not fix it by myself, and the author is most probably inactive. --Andrew J.Kurbiko 07:36, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I think the cars are a disturbing foreground element as they are depicted.--Peulle 07:53, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

File:Diamond DA62, AERO 2018, Friedrichshafen (1X7A4399-HDR).jpg edit

 

  • Nomination Diamond DA52 at AERO Friedrichshafen 2018 --MB-one 08:52, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Support Good quality. --Basile Morin 10:27, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Unfortunate crop, wings cut off, distracting tent in the background, sloppy description. --Palauenc05 17:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I have to agree with Palauenc05. I like to allow a lot of leeway in composition for QIs, but this composition is a real jumble to my eyes. -- Ikan Kekek 11:52, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment Crispy sharp and good light for me. The current composition highlights the fuselage with open doors. This is a choice of the photographer to display the plane in full or to focus on some specific parts. See Category:Aircraft doors and Category:Aircraft fuselages. The file was named "Diamond DA52, AERO 2018, Friedrichshafen". This is a descriptive title in my opinion. Diamond DA52 is the model of this plane. "AERO 2018" probably the exposition, and Friedrichshafen the city in Germany. Now the description has been improved by the author accordingly -- Basile Morin 00:08, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment If it is meant to focus on the details, the caption should have been more specific. Captions are very important, which provides another form of description for the picture. --Vincent60030 05:52, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Distracting background. --Kallerna 11:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes, the distracting background is still there, the picture looks like a random shot rather than a quality one. The file name does not replace a proper description. Although this has been done in the meantime, I keep my oppose vote for the above-mentioned reason. --Palauenc05 12:26, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Nomination Elevator at Flensburg train station --MB-one 08:52, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Support Good quality. --Basile Morin 10:27, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Bad lighting situation --Augustgeyler 11:01, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support Good quality, and perfectly OK lighting for this kind of motif. -- Ikan Kekek 11:56, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support We know you have a picky taste Augustgeyler, and a number of others as well, but QI isn't a FP candidate. This is just describing a lift from the staircase. I expect some objectiveness, and lighting is perfectly fine here so I do not know what's the issue. --Vincent60030 05:55, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
    •   Comment @Vincent60030: I know that this is not about FP candidates. In this case I see your point. But I thought the chosen perspective does not give enough light. Perhaps you are right. And of course I respect every majority voting different to me. But could you please be so kind not reviewing my taste or whatever you think my taste might be?--Augustgeyler 22:29, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

File:Jelgava_01.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination Sign-posted Way (on Lielā iela) into Jelgava, in Latvia, with Holy Trinity Tower on left --Scotch Mist 05:53, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Comment The picture should be cropped if it is to describe the sign. --Vincent60030 07:03, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment Thank you for your review but do not agree the image should be cropped further as the first part of the sign refers to the Holy Trinity Church Tower which is visible on the left --Scotch Mist 08:41, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment Hmm how about we take this to discussion? The caption is not on point in this case. --Vincent60030 10:24, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment I think the picture's fine, and doesn't need to be changed or cropped, though I think the description would be more accurate if it included the name of the street as well (it's part of the picture, after all). I would also like if the information about the church was included in the summary, and/or if the summary included information of that street or area generally, rather than a short history of the entire city. --ReneeWrites 15:12, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Done @ReneeWrites: Thank you for your constructive comment the details of which I have implemented --Scotch Mist 18:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose There is too much sky. Its cropped to hard at the bottom. The shadows are too dark due to hard lighting conditions. --Augustgeyler (talk) 10:37, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
    • @Augustgeyler: The first reviewer indicated that the image should be cropped further but your comment indicates that the image was cropped too hard at the bottom - these appear to be both opposing and subjective opinions and neither appear to reflect the 'balance' I intended being of course my own subjective opinion!:) --Scotch Mist 18:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
    • @Scotch Mist: You are right. I think that this is exactly what it is about: It is about making a decision. You could decide to only tell about the sign. In that case, there can be much more cropping like @Vincent60030: said. On the other hand you could decide to tell something about the hole scenery, including the street, the church and the sign. In this case, I really suggest to show more street. Your version did not decide for any of this options. That's why I opposed. --Augustgeyler 22:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support Disagree with the above comment. --ReneeWrites 17:06, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Bad light, not sure about the subject. --Kallerna 11:27, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Nomination Detail monument to Giuseppe Zanardelli in Salò. --Moroder 00:27, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Support Good image quality. --Tagooty 03:17, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose shoes are cropped --Augustgeyler 12:20, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose per Augustgeyler. --Fischer.H 17:22, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support Good image quality - IMO a tiny portion of missing shoe sole does not distract from the image of this impressive sculpture, dominated by Giuseppe's expressive head\face!--Scotch Mist 18:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support I'll admit the cropping isn't ideal, but both shoes are shown in full, so the full figure is included in the picture. It seems like too small a thing to reject an otherwise good image for QI for that. --ReneeWrites 18:48, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Perspective. --Smial 11:27, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Comment @Smial: The object is a statue not the architecture --Moroder 13:19, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
  Comment Of course. But tons of images are rejected here because of perspective issues in irrelevant background. Here we have a very prominent background. No double standards. --Smial 11:28, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Support While the bottom isn't perfectly cropped, the perspective and composition is very well done, which perfectly describes the statue. QI for me. --Vincent60030 06:01, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Perspective. --Kallerna 11:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Please look to the verticals in the background and the bottom cropped is not well done --Michielverbeek 06:06, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Bottom crop apart from perspective Poco a poco 22:23, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Bottom crop. There was room to avoid cutting the feet.--Peulle 12:33, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
