@Yann: Can you do it for me please? I do not know how to do it. Thanks, --Nicola (talk) 06:32, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks to Cart for adding the gallery link! @Nicola: Welcome to Featured picture candidates (FPC), Nicola! To find the Featured pictures (FP) gallery link, please visit the Featured pictures overview page, search for a section which contains photos of the same subject and then click on the “More …” below it. It takes you to the gallery page. E.g., if you would want to nominate a cycling photograph, you would scroll down until you found “Sports”, click on the “More …”, then you are on Commons:Featured pictures/Sports. That is the gallery page. To explore the different gallery pages, you can also use the “Featured pictures” overview table at the bottom of each gallery page. Now check if your candidate would really fit into that gallery page, and search if there is a section on the page into which your candidate fits – in the case of a cycling photograph, it would be the “Individual sports” section. Combine the title of the gallery page (in our example: “Commons:Featured pictures/Sports”) with a ‘#’ symbol and the headline of the section (in our example: “Individual sports”), then you get the gallery link (in our example: “Commons:Featured pictures/Sports#Individual sports”). Insert this text into the [[Commons:Featured pictures/<add the gallery here>]] placeholder which appears when you nominate a picture on this page by clicking the blue “Create new nomination” button. So the result would be: [[Commons:Featured pictures/Commons:Featured pictures/Sports#Individual sports]]. – You may ask: Why? Well, the gallery link has 3 functions: 1) For you – after finding the FP gallery page with the most similar images, you can compare your candidate photo to the existing FPs and decide if your candidate is on the same technical and aesthetical level. 2) For the reviewers/voters – they may compare the candidate with the existing similar FPs, too, in order to assess the candidate before voting. 3) For sorting – if a picture gets promoted as a FP, a bot (a little computer program) helps us by sorting it automatically into the correct gallery page etc.; in order to do this, the bot must know where it should sort the new FP, it uses the FP gallery link for that purpose. Hope this helps. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to ask on the FPC talk page or on the talk page of some user, e.g. on my one. --Aristeas (talk) 09:02, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment Charles’ suggestion is very good. If you are new to FPC, it’s hard to decide whether a photo is up to the technical standard or if it needs some editing. Therefore it is useful to nominate the picture first on the Quality images candidates (QIC) page where you may get a short review with (hopefully) helpful hints. If a photo passes that review and become a Quality Image (QI), chances are good that it will not be rejected on this FPC page due to simple technical issues. --Aristeas (talk) 09:02, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Question Could you centre the image, perhaps? --SHB2000 (talk) 09:50, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment Good composition, but everything on the other side of the river, or whatever that body of water is, is leaning, there are dust spots in many places, and there is generally a relatively high level of noise in the sky. I wouldn't say this photo would pass at COM:QIC, either, but I do think that a photo with a similar composition but lacking the problems I mentioned (and maybe also the partly hidden people) could be a featured picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:53, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   I withdraw my nomination Thanks for your advice. --Nicola (talk) 09:12, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
