Reason:
Valuable image and best in scope. -- Tomer T (talk)
Comment Very good formulation of the scope and very good candidate. I just wonder what about these tube-like roofs which are characteristic after all?--MrPanyGoff22:09, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Gives the clear idea of this main urban feature. Detailed view of the adjacent neighbourhoods and impressive detailed view of the mountain sites in the background. In a word, very informative image. -- MrPanyGoff
Yes, every season has its own charm but the main reason of this scope is to provide the information of this feature as a strong urban element. Both of the nominated photos give us the perfect idea about the situation. I just couldn't decide which one is better. --MrPanyGoff07:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Good Image within Scope. -- Rajenver (talk)
Comment That's how you should attach the scope to the category. This is a good scope, just maybe „(exterior)” should be added. Please, don't nominate all of your photos at once. Wait for a few days.--MrPanyGoff17:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
I think this one is best; also available as JPG file. -- cmadler (talk)
Comment Good try ;) though the VI in this scope should show Geronimo in stately chief presence as shown in the portrait photographs.--MrPanyGoff16:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Geronimo was never a "stately chief". He was a war chief who led his people in raids and battles for thirty years (1858-1886, from the age of 30 to 60). In 1886 he was captured by the US Army and was held as a prisoner for the rest of his life. In his last years he was allowed to make appearances (1904 World's Fair, Roosevelt's 1905 inaugural parade, etc.), and that is when the "stately" posed photos were taken. So I think for VI we should show him as the warrior he really was, and not as a stereotypical "en:noble savage". This other image is even better in some regards, since it may have been taken before his imprisonment, and therefore, to the extent it's posed, may reflect self-image rather than the image the US Army wanted to portray, but the technical quality of that one is just not good. cmadler (talk) 13:08, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Best in scope, portrays him as a warrior chief rather than the stereotype of the "noble savage" shown in the photos from late in his life. cmadler (talk) 13:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is too pity that some sham photograph of Geronimo while was a circus-man will be a VI. It seems that the rifle is a very attractive attribute.--MrPanyGoff20:33, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The scope is not well formulated now. It might be Street signs in New York City or better Street signs in Manhattan or Wall Street signs, Manhattan but whichever scope you choose it will be difficult for the reviewers.--MrPanyGoff12:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Best photograph in Morgan Pressel doing her tee shot -- Yjenith (talk)
Question The image matches the scope, but I am not sure we need subscopes for this person. Beside, it is not geocoded. Yann (talk) 09:50, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I support now. I think that an image of the person in action is the best. Others are also not geocoded. Yann (talk) 16:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
I think this is the best image we have of Ms. Pressel; it is an unobstructed straight-on view of her face. Used as the lead image in 4 of the 5 Wikipedia articles about her. -- cmadler (talk)
I think the composition is better and the light is better. On the other image as if the sea and the island are on the slope. Also, the nominated photo gives information about the connection, in terms of situation, between the main object and the nearby important Thompson Island as well as the mainland where important buildings and structures are visible.--MrPanyGoff16:39, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't oppose, but I think that the fact there is another island in the picture could be disturbing and confusing. Confusion is avoided only by annotation.--Jebulon (talk) 09:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Good aerial view, shows the environment too and more of the island facilities, no confusion possible with any other island in the bay. Now geocoded by me. -- Jebulon (talk)
Not that reason. This portrait photograph is used in some articles also the actress has revealed her branded smile and looks young and with the award function costume here. --Yjenith (talk) 14:25, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is better to discuss the content, than to speculate about the motivations of nominators and reviewers. The latter is better reserved for COM:AN. Referring to COM:VICR, I think MrPanyGoff is suggesting that this image is not "the most valuable illustration of its kind." --Walter Siegmund(talk)01:53, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe so. In fact, what I have in mind is a similar picture from each season of year. IMO that could be an awesome set! Easier said than done though. The mountain is located about 500 kilometres from me and is generally covered by thick clouds. It requires good luck to have a bright day whenever planning to visit the place. The idea would be difficult but certainly not impossible to accomplish. --Ximonic (talk) 16:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Possibly our best image of the immediately surrounding area, including the stone wall. The horizon hints at the tower's position on the Cotswold Edge. -- cmadler (talk)
Comment I was reluctant to provide further comment given I have a horse in this race, but I would not have put the horse in the race in the first place if I did not think it had merit over these other photographs. The image quality of this one is on the low end as is the resolution. The Folly is only a small portion of the overall image and many details are lost as a result. The image is dated and does not reflect recent changes at the site to include the repaired Cotswold stone wall adjacent to the tower. The steel gate is no longer there as well. It was replaced by a kissing gate. Saffron Blaze (talk) 12:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While this is indeed a great image it is no longer an accurate depiction of the Tower. The Cotswold stone wall and the flag pole are missing. Also I think the file size is so small as to be limit its value. Saffron Blaze (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the 2007 POTY is low res, has odd colours and has been digitally altered. The 2007 POTY fails to show the tower in context. In particular that it sits high on the Cotswold escarpment. Of the others they either have perspective distorsion issues or are of really low resolution. The only one close in quality and context to this one is the current VI. Unfortunatly it is very low res and does have mild perspective distortion. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:38, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There isn't current VI in this scope. The mentioned photograph is VI in the scope Folly (architecture). Anyway, it is very difficult indeed to choose the best in this scope.--MrPanyGoff21:10, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
MVR is open. I would also like to include the 2007 POTY and the Folly (architecture) VI, since they have previously be considered to be (for different reasons and in different way) excellent images, but I'm not sure how to do so since each has previously had a VI nom in the scope Folly (architecture). Thanks, cmadler (talk) 20:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I consider the scope "Folly (architecture)" is contentious. The scope "Broadway Tower" does not lend itself to confusion. Broadway Tower 2012.jpg seems to me the best. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:12, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Info For your information: an image can be considered valued (and thus can be nominated) within more than one scope. This is illustrated on the main Commons:Valued images page. In the example, the same photograph is valued within the scopes The Kaaba and Tawaf.--Myrabella (talk) 23:55, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Nominated for the sake of a thorough review, since this is the 2007 Commons Picture of the Year, and a Featured Image here and on multiple Wikipedias. -- cmadler (talk)
Comment As with my other comments I think image is past its due date. It most disappointing elements are the lack of surroundings and the almost cartoon look due to the articfical colours. So while it may still be striking it is not so valuable. Saffron Blaze (talk) 12:42, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
