Candidare un immagine edit
Linee guida per candidare un'immagine edit
È importante leggere le linee guida prima di candidare un'immagine.
A seguito è riportato un riassunto dei punti essenziali per candidare e valutare le immagini candidate:
- Risoluzione - Le fotografie con una risoluzione inferiore a 2 milioni di pixel vengono generalmente rifiutate e rimosse ad eccezione di motivi contrari di particolare importanza. Si noti che le immagini con risoluzione 1600 x 1200 hanno 1.92 Mpx, appena inferiore al limite minimo di 2Mpx.
- Ricordiamo che le immagini caricate su Commons vengono visualizzate non solo su schermi tradizionali di PC ma sono utilizzate anche per stampa e visualizzazione su schermi ad alta risoluzione. Non possiamo certo prevedere quali tecnologie verranno utilizzate nel futuro quindi è importante che le immagini scelte per la vetrina abbiano una risoluzione quanto più alta è possibile.
- Scansioni - È consigliabile seguire la guida alla scansione, che propone suggerimenti per l'ottenimento di immagini ottimali
- Fuoco - ovviamente ogni oggetto significativo dell'immagine deve essere ben definito e a fuoco.
- Primo piano e sfondo - Oggetti in primissimo piano o di sfondo possono distrarre dalla vista dal oggetto principale dell'immagine. È il caso di controllare se qualche elemento in primo piano non copra nessun elemento importante e che lo sfondo non distolga l'attenzione e renda confusa l'immagine (per esempio evitare che vi sia una luce forte alle spalle di un viso)
- Qualità generale - le immagini candidate devono essere di alta qualità tecnica.
- Le manipolazioni digitali non devono essere effettuate per ingannare, ma vanno usate solo limitatamente e con cura per correggere difetti fotografici. Le manipolazioni comunemente accettate sono il ritaglio e la correzione di prospettiva, focale, colore ed esposizione. Manipolazioni più estese, come può essere la rimozione di un elemento di distrazione dello sfondo, vanno chiaramente descritte nel testo di descrizione per mezzo del template {{Retouched picture}}. Manipolazioni non descritte o descritte in modo insufficiente non permettono la candidatura alla vetrina.
- Valore - il nostro principale obiettivo è eleggere le immagini con il maggior valore rispetto a tutte le loro simili. Le immagini devono essere in qualche modo speciali, perciò fai attenzione:
- quasi tutti i tramonti sono esteticamente piacevoli, infatti molte immagini sono simili alle altre,
- gli scatti notturni sono gradevoli ma generalmente le foto scattate di giorno mostrano molti più dettagli,
- non tutte le belle foto hanno in realtà un valore che non sia esclusivamente personale.
Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto tecnico abbiamo come parametri l'esposizione, la composizione, il controllo del movimento e la profondità di campo.
- L'esposizione si riferisce alla combinazione tra tempo di esposizione e diaframma. Questa combinazione permette generalmente di avere una curva di tono che è in grado di rappresentare ombre e luci con un dettaglio accettabile. Questa curva viene detta latitudine di posa. Un'immagine può essere nella banda bassa, media o alta. Le fotocamere digitali (e le loro foto) hanno una latitudine di posa più stretta delle macchine a pellicola. La mancanza di dettagli nelle zone d'ombra non è necessariamente una caratteristica negativa. Infatti questa può essere parte dell'effetto desiderato, mentre ampie zone eccessivamente sovraesposte possono distrarre la vista.
- La composizione si riferisce alla distribuzione degli elementi nell'immagine. La “Regola dei Terzi” è una buona linea guida per la composizione e eredita molto dagli studi di disegno. Il concetto principale considera l'immagine divisa con due linee orizzontali e due verticali, che dividono l'immagine in tre parti. Generalmente se l'oggetto viene centrato si ha un effetto poco interessante, mentre se l'oggetto viene posizionato in uno dei punti di interesse, ovvero l'intersezione delle quattro linee, si ottiene un effetto decisamente migliore. Le linee dell'orizzonte infatti non dovrebbero essere posizionate nel centro, perché taglierebbero la foto a metà; è invece preferibile scegliere una delle linee orizzontali. Complessivamente bisogna tendere a creare un'immagine dinamica.
- Il controllo del movimento si riferisce al modo viene rappresentato il movimento nell'immagine. Il movimento può essere bloccato (seguito dalla fotocamera) oppure può essere lasciato scorrere, tuttavia l'oggetto principale dell'immagine deve essere visibile. Nessuna delle due tecniche è migliore dell'altra, la buona riuscita dipende esclusivamente dal tipo di effetto ricercato. Per esempio, fotografando una vettura da corsa che appare statica in relazione allo sfondo, che invece scorre sul retro, si ottiene l'oggetto principale in una condizione statica mentre lo sfondo crea il senso di movimento. (questa tecnica è chiamata "panning"). D'altra parte, fotografando un giocatore di basket in salto, bloccato in relazione a tutto il resto dello sfondo, si otterrebbe un buono scatto proprio per la posa innaturale.
- La profondità di campo (PdC o DOF dall'inglese depth of field) è la distanza davanti e dietro il soggetto principale che appare nitida (a fuoco). Questo parametro viene scelto a seconda delle necessità di ogni immagine e può parimenti migliorare o peggiorare la qualità di una fotografia. Generalmente viene utilizzata una PdC ridotta per mettere al centro dell'attenzione il soggetto principale, separandolo da tutto il resto dello sfondo. Invece viene utilizzata una grande PdC per enfatizzare la profondità di un immagine. Gli obiettivi grandangolari in genere una grande PdC mentre i teleobiettivi ne hanno una decisamente ridotta. In gran parte la PdC dipende dall'apertura del diaframma: aumenta con il diminuire dell'apertura e viceversa.
Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto grafico prendiamo invece in considerazione nitidezza, profondità, colore, superficie, prospettiva, bilanciamento, proporzione, ecc.
- La nitidezza si riferisce alle linee di contorno del soggetto principale.
- La profondità si riferisce alla qualità dell'aspetto tridimensionale del soggetto. Ciò si ottiene soprattutto tramite un'adeguata illuminazione laterale (come quella della prima mattinata o del tardo pomeriggio) e non esclusivamente frontale, al fine di evitare l'appiattimento del soggetto.
- Il colore è un elemento molto importante e non deve essere né troppo né poco saturo.
- La superficie si riferisce alla qualità della superficie degli oggetti fotografati.
- La prospettiva si riferisce all'angolazione dalla quale è stata scattata la fotografia. Essa crea una serie di rette immaginarie che seguono gli spigoli paralleli degli oggetti e si incontrano in un punto che può essere dentro o fuori l'immagine.
- Il bilanciamento si riferisce alla disposizione degli oggetti nell'immagine e può essere equilibrato o porre maggior peso verso una direzione.
- La proporzione si riferisce alla relazione tra le dimensioni degli oggetti all'interno dell'immagine. Generalmente si tende a rappresentare oggetti con ridotta relazione, ma una buona tecnica è quella di rappresentare gli oggetti di dimensioni minori in modo più esteso, contrariamente a quanto è in realtà. Per esempio, un piccolo fiore che viene rappresentato con le stesse dimensioni di una grande montagna: questa tecnica viene chiamata inversione di scala.
- Ovviamente, non tutte le caratteristiche devono essere necessariamente presenti. Le immagini possono essere giudicate sia per una sola caratteristica che per diverse caratteristiche, anche contemporaneamente.
- Significato simbolico o rilevanza particolare …Le guerre d'opinione possono iniziare!…. Va ricordato che una pessima fotografia di un soggetto difficilissimo da fotografare è sicuramente migliore di un'immagine ordinaria e tradizionale (come un comune tramonto).
- Le immagini possono essere scelte da un fotografo o da un osservatore anche per motivi culturali, tenendo però sempre conto del contesto dello scatto e non di quello dell'osservatore. Un'immagine inoltre può "parlare" alle persone e avere la capacità di evocare emozioni, che tuttavia non devono essere necessariamente piacevoli.
Per ottimizzare le possibilità di successo delle candidature delle tue immagini è consigliabile leggere le linee guida complete.

Votare edit
Per votare puoi usare i seguenti templates:
- {{A favore}} ( Support) per supportare la candidatura,
- {{Contrario}} ( Oppose) per opporsi alla candidatura,
- {{Neutrale}} ( Neutral) per esprimere un parere neutrale,
- {{Commento}} ( Comment) per esprimere solo un commento,

Puoi inoltre evidenziare che l'immagine non ha possibilità di essere eletta con il template {{FPX|motivo}}, inserendo al posto di motivo le ragioni per cui è chiaramente inaccettabile per la vetrina.
Ogni votante è pregato di motivare il proprio voto con qualche parola, in particolar modo se si vota contro. Ricorda inoltre di aggiungere la tua firma (~~~~). I voti anonimi non sono accettati.
Candidare un'immagine alla rimozione dalla vetrina edit
Gli standard della vetrina cambiano col tempo. Può succedere che un'immagine che era stata eletta per la vetrina non sia più adatta agli standard attuali.
Questa lista è perciò composta dalle immagini considerate non più adatte a rimanere nella vetrina. Vota:
- {{Mantenere}} Keep per far sì che l'immagine rimanga nella vetrina.
- {{Rimuovere}} Oppose per far sì che l'immagine venga rimossa dalla vetrina.
Se consideri che un'immagine non rispetti più i criteri delle immagini in vetrina, candidala per la rimozione copiando il nome dell'immagine dentro questa casella di testo (includendo il prefisso dell' Image:) a seguito del testo già presente in essa:
Nella pagina appena creata includi:
- Le informazioni sull'origine dell'immagine (autore dell'immagine, autore della candidatura);
- Un collegamento all'iniziale candidatura per l'inserimento nella vetrina (che va inserito sotto ==Collegamenti== nella descrizione dell'immagine);
- Il motivo per cui l'hai candidata per la rimozione dalla vetrina e il tuo Nome utente.
Dopo aver fatto ciò devi inserire manualmente un collegamento alla pagina creata all'inizio della lista di rimozione dalla vetrina.
Politica di elezione per la vetrina edit
Regole generali edit
- Il periodo di votazione è di 9 giorni completi, a partire dalla candidatura. I risultato verrà determinato alla fine di questo periodo. I voti aggiunti il decimo giorno o a seguito non verranno considerati.
- Sono benvenuti i contributori anonimi.
- I contributi di anonimi alle discussioni sono benvenuti.
- I voti di contributori anonimi non saranno accettati.
- La candidatura non conta come voto. Il voto di supporto va esplicitato.
- Gli autori delle candidature possono ritirare le loro immagini candidate in ogni momento. Questo si ottiene scrivendo semplicemente "I withdraw my nomination" (in inglese: ritiro la mia candidatura)
o aggiungendo il testo{{withdraw|~~~~}}
. - Ricorda che l'obiettivo del progetto Wikimedia Commons è di costruire una raccolta di immagini utilizzabili da tutti i progetti Wikimedia, inclusi possibili progetti futuri. Perciò non bisogna pensare che questo sia una raccolta dedicata esclusivamente al progetto Wikipedia e per tanto le immagini non vanno valutate in funzione di ciò.
- Le immagini vengono rimosse dalla lista di candidature se non hanno voti a supporto (escluso quello dell'autore della candidatura) entro il quinto giorno dalla candidatura (La regola del quinto giorno)
- Le immagini dotate del template {{FPX}} non devono essere rimosse dalla lista entro le 48 ore successive al momento in cui è stato applicato il template, purchè non vi sia nessun voto a supporto oltre quello dell'autore della candidatura.
Regole di ammissione e rimozione dalla vetrina edit
Un'immagine candidata viene ammessa alla vetrina se si verificano le seguenti condizioni:
- La licenza è adeguata (ovviamente).
- Se ha almeno 5 voti a supporto.
- Se il rapporto tra voti pro/contro è almeno 2/1 (se ha due terzi di maggioranza).
- Non possono essere ammessi alla vetrina diverse versioni della stessa immagine, ne deve essere scelta una sola versione.
I criteri per la rimozione dalla vetrina sono gli stessi per l'ammissione ad essa, compreso il periodo di voto e la regola del quinto giorno (vedi nelle Regole generali).
Ogni utente esperto può portare a termine una votazione: per istruzioni su come compiere questa operazione vedi la guida per portare a termina la votazione.
Infine, sii cortese edit
Per piacere non dimenticare che l'immagine che stai giudicando è frutto del lavoro di qualcuno. Evita di usare frasi come è orribile: se devi opporti non fare spiacevoli considerazioni. Inoltre ricorda che è necessario scrivere in inglese se vuoi essere compreso dagli altri utenti e che il tuo utilizzo di questa lingua e quello degli altri utenti può comunque generare incomprensioni se non si ha un'ottima conoscenza, perciò scegli le parole con cura.
Buon voto… e ricorda che.... tutte le regole possono avere qualche eccezione.

OpposeThe blurry pair of grasses on the right-hand side ruins everything, as it stands right in front of the fresh buffalo skull. Wolverine XI 11:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for your review. If I understand that it would have been preferable to not have that grass blade, I think that the fact that it's a single grass blade in front of the skull, on the extremity of the lower jaw, and that it can be seen through while still having great detail, makes this negligeable in my opinion.

- Thank you for your review. I understand what you mean but I felt that the skull being a bit in the shadows while the grass around it is colorful and sunny with green, yellow and orange is a good symbolic of death and the life that continues to thrive around it (and of it for the insects) and that this picture is a good depiction of the circle of life. Also I like how the skull is perfectly and naturally placed looking up and with mouth open. Giles Laurent (talk) 15:08, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support I have made a little test: mirrored the left half or the right half of the image to create a completely symmetrical picture. At the first glance the results of both tests looked compelling; at the 2nd one they looked both somewhat boring. Then I switched back at the original image. Now I would say: that the left half features the tree, the right one the free sky is a bit irritating, yes, but also makes the image much more interesting. – Aristeas (talk) 13:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

- Abstain as author. San Marino has three towers each with a feather on top. The second tower, called Cesta, stands on the highest point of Mount Titano. The fifteenth-century tower is pentagonal in shape. The rooms of the guardhouse and the castellan are currently occupied (since 1956) by the Museum of Ancient Weapons of San Marino. The Montale tower is the smallest of the three towers, it was a watchtower built in the 14th century at a strategically defensive position. From the top of the towers (approximately 750 metres) it is possible to admire breathtaking views, from the Adriatic sea to the Apennines. -- Terragio67 (talk) 17:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

SupportCould you explain a bit how these images were created? – Aristeas (talk) 08:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC) Sorry, striked out – see the discussion below. – Aristeas (talk) 18:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)- I remember that day was very windy. I had been waiting for the eclipse for several days, continuously checking the time. With 20 minutes to go before the eclipse started, I saw people gathering to watch it from my building; some even lacked proper protection. From my vantage point, I spotted a space near these people that was large enough for my tripod. I had a special graduated filter for the eclipse, but when I tried to fit it on my camera, it didn't fit, so I had to use tape to secure the filter to the lens. I used a 100-400mm Z nikon lens with a 2X extender, effectively giving me 800mm on a full-frame format, which made the setup extremely heavy. Despite the limited time, I grabbed my camera and went down to set up on a small mound. The wind was ridiculously strong, so I opted to place metal stakes in each tripod leg to keep it from flying away and added a counterweight to the center to minimize vibration, recalling that Quebec City is often windy due to its proximity to the Saint Lawrence River. After setting up the camera and tripod, I had to keep adjusting it directly towards the sun to account for the movements of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. I couldn’t just leave the camera pointed and shoot; I had to periodically recenter the Moon and the Sun in my shots. The photos were taken with a manual setting to minimize exposure during the partial eclipse, capturing significant phases at regular intervals. Later, I developed the images in Lightroom, applying only lens correction and chromatic aberration adjustments, which I didn't really notice. Finally, I merged the images into a single composition using Photoshop. Wilfredor (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support Lovely work. Wolverine XI 11:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Interesting but I have some questions here. Are the shots in the upper row really independent from the lower row? because I wouldn't expect the same sun stains top left and bottom right. The alignment is not good either, the distance between the frames looks arbitrary, the distance e.g. between the fourth and fifht (top row) is bigger than the others (same between second and third in the lower row). It would have also been great to capture the whole process, Poco a poco (talk) 14:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Poco is right. There is something fishy going on here. If you reduce the intensity (only!) of the image, it looks to me like the top row is the same as the bottom row, only reversed. I opened this in Photoshop and just toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to darker. How is this Wilfredor? 'Pinging' previous voters about this, Yann, ★, The Cosmonaut, Radomianin, SHB2000, Aristeas, Wolverine XI. In this version I have toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to an extreme. In that version there are some very small differences between the two rows; perhaps only half of the eclipse was actually photographed and that series used for both rows. Downloading and checking a photo at higher/lower/extreme 'levels' is always a good way to see what might have been done with it. --Cart (talk) 18:07, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Alt version edit
- Info In this version, I have implemented Poco a poco's suggestion to maintain an identical space between each lunar phase, and I have also removed the bottom row that could create a mistaken perception that these are subsequent phases, when in reality it is a reflection of the top row to maintain symmetry. As previously mentioned, "only half of the eclipse was actually photographed"; indeed, there was no total eclipse in this city, and I decided not to continue photographing the subsequent phases for fear of damaging the camera sensor. --Wilfredor (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Aw, come on! Why did you mirror the sequence in the first place if you weren't trying to make it appear as if you had photographed the whole eclipse? Nothing about this or fear for a damaged sensor was mentioned before I called this image out. How many times are you going to pull these photoshop tricks on us and then try to back-track with scant explanations and whatever. You need to do some serious thinking about how you make and present photos on this forum.
- I know from what you wrote on your previous nom, that you are in a really bad place in life right now, but you still need to go by the same rules and critique as everyone else here if you participate. --Cart (talk) 20:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I believed that the Earth would continue moving in its usual direction, and my actions were guided by that assumption, not by any malintent. As soon as I recognized the potential for misunderstanding (Poco a poco comment), I promptly clarified that the images might be perceived as representing different phases. I initially didn't address this because the similarities seemed so self-evident to me—both images feature identical shapes and solar spots, mirroring each other perfectly. Even the thumbnails, without being opened to full size, clearly show these inversions. I had assumed these parallels would be apparent for everybody. I've noticed that the more I try to explain, the more complicated situations seem to become, which often leads me to prefer silence. Moving forward, I will make an effort to articulate even those details I consider self-evident, though I can't promise to always do so. This isn't an issue unique to FPC; it's something I've encountered in personal interactions as well. Misunderstandings like these are a problem I'm aware of and continually striving to overcome. Wilfredor (talk) 20:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should try to get some professional help during this trying time for you. Even though your friends are here on FPC to support you, non of us can give you adequate advice that anyone who is going through bad times needs. I also notice that this is your third active nomination, and it should have been {{FPD}}-ed.

- Keep Interesting and of historic importance. I also had a stress-free June 2007, so that's a plus. I can't quite put my finger on why it is that this photo makes me feel nostalgic.

OpposeThe blurry pair of grasses on the right-hand side ruins everything, as it stands right in front of the fresh buffalo skull. Wolverine XI 11:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for your review. If I understand that it would have been preferable to not have that grass blade, I think that the fact that it's a single grass blade in front of the skull, on the extremity of the lower jaw, and that it can be seen through while still having great detail, makes this negligeable in my opinion.

- Thank you for your review.

At the first glance the results of both tests looked compelling; at the 2nd one they looked both somewhat boring. Then I switched back at the original image. Now I would say: that the left half features the tree, the right one the free sky is a bit irritating, yes, but also makes the image much more interesting. – Aristeas (talk) 13:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

- Abstain as author. San Marino has three towers each with a feather on top. The second tower, called Cesta, stands on the highest point of Mount Titano. The fifteenth-century tower is pentagonal in shape. The rooms of the guardhouse and the castellan are currently occupied (since 1956) by the Museum of Ancient Weapons of San Marino. The Montale tower is the smallest of the three towers, it was a watchtower built in the 14th century at a strategically defensive position. From the top of the towers (approximately 750 metres) it is possible to admire breathtaking views, from the Adriatic sea to the Apennines. -- Terragio67 (talk) 17:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I had been waiting for the eclipse for several days, continuously checking the time. With 20 minutes to go before the eclipse started, I saw people gathering to watch it from my building; some even lacked proper protection. From my vantage point, I spotted a space near these people that was large enough for my tripod. I had a special graduated filter for the eclipse, but when I tried to fit it on my camera, it didn't fit, so I had to use tape to secure the filter to the lens. I used a 100-400mm Z nikon lens with a 2X extender, effectively giving me 800mm on a full-frame format, which made the setup extremely heavy. Despite the limited time, I grabbed my camera and went down to set up on a small mound. The wind was ridiculously strong, so I opted to place metal stakes in each tripod leg to keep it from flying away and added a counterweight to the center to minimize vibration, recalling that Quebec City is often windy due to its proximity to the Saint Lawrence River. After setting up the camera and tripod, I had to keep adjusting it directly towards the sun to account for the movements of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. I couldn’t just leave the camera pointed and shoot; I had to periodically recenter the Moon and the Sun in my shots. The photos were taken with a manual setting to minimize exposure during the partial eclipse, capturing significant phases at regular intervals. Later, I developed the images in Lightroom, applying only lens correction and chromatic aberration adjustments, which I didn't really notice. Finally, I merged the images into a single composition using Photoshop. Wilfredor (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support Lovely work. Wolverine XI 11:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Interesting but I have some questions here. Are the shots in the upper row really independent from the lower row? because I wouldn't expect the same sun stains top left and bottom right. The alignment is not good either, the distance between the frames looks arbitrary, the distance e.g. between the fourth and fifht (top row) is bigger than the others (same between second and third in the lower row). It would have also been great to capture the whole process, Poco a poco (talk) 14:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Poco is right. There is something fishy going on here. If you reduce the intensity (only!) of the image, it looks to me like the top row is the same as the bottom row, only reversed. I opened this in Photoshop and just toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to darker. How is this Wilfredor? 'Pinging' previous voters about this, Yann, ★, The Cosmonaut, Radomianin, SHB2000, Aristeas, Wolverine XI. In this version I have toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to an extreme. In that version there are some very small differences between the two rows; perhaps only half of the eclipse was actually photographed and that series used for both rows. Downloading and checking a photo at higher/lower/extreme 'levels' is always a good way to see what might have been done with it. --Cart (talk) 18:07, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- The bottom row is created to generate geometry from the same shots that are above. Wilfredor (talk) 19:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Poco is right. There is something fishy going on here. If you reduce the intensity (only!) of the image, it looks to me like the top row is the same as the bottom row, only reversed. I opened this in Photoshop and just toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to darker. How is this Wilfredor? 'Pinging' previous voters about this, Yann, ★, The Cosmonaut, Radomianin, SHB2000, Aristeas, Wolverine XI. In this version I have toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to an extreme.

Alt version edit
- Info In this version, I have implemented Poco a poco's suggestion to maintain an identical space between each lunar phase, and I have also removed the bottom row that could create a mistaken perception that these are subsequent phases, when in reality it is a reflection of the top row to maintain symmetry. As previously mentioned, "only half of the eclipse was actually photographed"; indeed, there was no total eclipse in this city, and I decided not to continue photographing the subsequent phases for fear of damaging the camera sensor. --Wilfredor (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Aw, come on! Why did you mirror the sequence in the first place if you weren't trying to make it appear as if you had photographed the whole eclipse? Nothing about this or fear for a damaged sensor was mentioned before I called this image out. How many times are you going to pull these photoshop tricks on us and then try to back-track with scant explanations and whatever. You need to do some serious thinking about how you make and present photos on this forum.
- I know from what you wrote on your previous nom, that you are in a really bad place in life right now, but you still need to go by the same rules and critique as everyone else here if you participate. --Cart (talk) 20:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I believed that the Earth would continue moving in its usual direction, and my actions were guided by that assumption, not by any malintent. As soon as I recognized the potential for misunderstanding (Poco a poco comment), I promptly clarified that the images might be perceived as representing different phases. I initially didn't address this because the similarities seemed so self-evident to me—both images feature identical shapes and solar spots, mirroring each other perfectly. Even the thumbnails, without being opened to full size, clearly show these inversions. I had assumed these parallels would be apparent for everybody. I've noticed that the more I try to explain, the more complicated situations seem to become, which often leads me to prefer silence. Moving forward, I will make an effort to articulate even those details I consider self-evident, though I can't promise to always do so. This isn't an issue unique to FPC; it's something I've encountered in personal interactions as well. Misunderstandings like these are a problem I'm aware of and continually striving to overcome. Wilfredor (talk) 20:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should try to get some professional help during this trying time for you. Even though your friends are here on FPC to support you, non of us can give you adequate advice that anyone who is going through bad times needs. I also notice that this is your third active nomination, and it should have been {{FPD}}-ed. I'm not going to add to your troubles by using that template, but please think about if you can handle critique here for now. Please take care of yourself and do not put yourself in situations that might be stressful for you. Best, --Cart (talk) 11:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Riad Salih I have tried for a while but you have probably already found the best possible solution. At the bottom the mosaic margins at the left and right continue downwards. This makes the bottom crop look somewhat arbirary – that’s unavoidable as one must cut the image somewhere. To be fair I replace the weak support by a full one. – Aristeas (talk) 18:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- It's just a nice photo with decent quality and resolution. No "wow" effect at all, sorry. Also it's pretty noisy with strange compression artifacts (you can see it clearly in darker areas). Composition could be better by i.e. aligning ripple marks with frame diagonal. New category is much better, but from texture photography I expect exceptional quality.
