Comment Great action shot. One should not be deceived by the apparently not so great technical quality. A 400mm lens is used as a safe distance have to be kept to these monster waves at the Maverick. I think it is extremely difficult to get much better unless you are hovering in a helicopter close by - and those are usually not freely licensed. Soemthing should be done about the indicated blurred area though. Dunno if a crop will do? --Slaunger (talk) 20:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- The image was taken from a boat. Here's how Shal describes the boat ride: "The boat was very rocky. Many people got sea sick though. One guy (photog) never even got any pictures he was so sick." The image was not freely licensed at all. I asked Shal via private email to release a high resolution image with a free license, and he kindly agreed. I would not like to crop the image. The break of the wave is amazing IMO, and I would not like to cut anything off this wave.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well, thank you for making an effort to get it freely licensed. I understand your concern regarding cropping. Have you tried just to see how it looks? If it does not work, could the blurred area be repaired somehow then? I find it distracting. Should we ask our favorite physical oceanographer for help
? Or perhaps Lošmi could help? I do not know if he has a magic wand or what, but he managed to get from this to this FP (completed helicopter and sky). --Slaunger (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- I did not try to do anything with the image. To cut off the "blurred" part means to cut off the most amazing part of the wave. Honestly I wished the smaller zoom were used to get the whole wave into the picture. In the example you have provided the correction was more or less easy. I could have done it myself. IMO to change this image is quite a different story. The surface and even the color of the wave is different in different parts. I am not sure the correction could be done without making too much of digital manipulations, but of course, if somebody wishes to give it a try...--Mbz1 (talk) 21:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Are we speaking of the same blurred area in the lower left corner (annotation)?--Slaunger (talk) 21:46, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- For some reason the annotation does not work for me, but now I understood what you're talking about, and tried to fix it.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Support, even with blurred area at lower left. The shot starts to lose its force if this bottom strip is simply cropped off, IMO. -- Avenue (talk) 23:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment The cloning is nice and smooth, but instead of the wave gradually leveling out closer to the viewer, the edited part now steepens again. (Perhaps rotating before cloning could avoid this.) And I don't see a fuzzy foreground as being much worse than the blurred background, so I still support the original version over edit 1. -- Avenue (talk) 09:55, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment pretty weird artefacts in the hair of 2 of the performers. Is it due to the scene lighting, or to post-processing of the picture ? Also, a few hot pixels. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 05:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment So heavily smoothed and "painting in oil"ed that I don't know how to rate it: as a photograph, or not. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 05:33, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- It has been retouched. But it's the only picture we have of this historic subject, and the retouching does not obscure the educational value of the photo at all, in fact it enhances it by highlighting the text and smoothing out the background. Compare to the educational value and composition of another pretty photo of the same subject linked just below this on its Flickr page. Steven Walling 05:47, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Oppose Sky is overexposed, probably a bit later/earlier would have been better (or a ND filter). --Dori - Talk 01:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Support Histogram clearly shows sky is not over exposed - it "feels" tilted to me but I don't think it is. Minimalism works for me on this one. --Herby talk thyme 09:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- My software shows highlights as being blown in the red channel. Besides, most software allows you to drag the image to the left of the histogram but it starts replacing blown areas with grey or other weird colors. In any case whether it has technically gone 255 or not, I don't like the light to the left of the image. --Dori - Talk 22:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- That you don't like it is fine. Technically it is not overexposed as the histogram has not gone off the right hand side, indeed the exposure can be increased by 0.28 before clipping actually shows. The red channel touches the top of the histogram but is not significantly clipped (indeed the green also touches the top). Technical issues but others here may be interested. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 09:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - For the moment. Relevant information is missing necessary for understanding what this picture really is. For example: are all photograms approximately synchronous? What is the date? What is the map projection (is it equal-area)? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- I've added the date the MODIS images were collected to our description page. The description on the source website is not very detailed, and doesn't give the map projection.

- What do you mean by that? The stone structure around it? It would be a very different picture, showing a priori nothing of the stain glass. I doubt it would be easy to take (or even of interest) because Chartres cathedral is a very very dark one, or at least so it appeared the day I was there. An interesting alternative picture would rather be the exterior view.

Support Good one. Greets, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 10:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Oppose I'm afraid I don't get this one. I understand the significance of the moment however the composition/angle is really not that good. --Herby talk thyme 14:21, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps Pete Souza, the official White House photographer did actually pick this way of composition on purpose? With the intent to show the act as a dynamic situation rather than a classic "official" moment? If he had wanted to give the picture a classic static appearance, he certainly would have had the means and the position to do so. If you take a look at Souza's pictures, you will notice that he gives his Obama pictures a jazzy, casual look. Certainly on purpose.
- Note how this is not just a snapshot. The room itself is symmetrical (the two chandeliers, the fireplace), and probably very solemn and static. However, the photographer decided to take a step to the left to breake up the symmetry, to create tension and dynamic.
- The two chandeliers (to the left and right) and the mantelpiece (in the middle) frame the two men very effectfully. This is only possible because the photographer intently chose a lateral position rather than frontal - if he had picked a frontal position, Obama would stand in front of the mantelpiece, his head half covering the painting on the wall, and the chandelier on the left would be behind the judge's head, making him look like he has an aureola.
- The photographer intently picked an angle from which we can see both men in profile, with their heads surrounded by free space. Obama's smile, which the photographer thought would be more important, is seen slightly from the front. Both men look each other in the eye, creating a certain tension, which they break up with a smile.
- You'll also notice that the Portrait on the wall is not just decoration of the room, but it looks like it part of the situation, like it is smiling down on this act - the photographer perhaps noticed a smile similar to Obama's, earnest but also with a hint of irony. It's the mildly ironical situation of Obama's "second oath", captured ingeniously in what seemes like a snapshot, but is in fact a rather clever composition. I doubt many photographers would have been able to take a picture like this if put in the same position.
- I've looked at it longer and my respect for the photographer grew even more: the straight lines in the picture are all at an angle, which makes it dynamic and lively. The straight lines form a vanishing point towards Obama, who is the focus of the picture. The golden picture frame on the wall actually almost frames Obama's hand. The wide-angle lens creates an intimate atmosphere. The lighting is actually pretty good considering there was direct flashlight involved - neither under- nor overexposed, no disturbing dark shadows.
- This is not mediocrity or accident, this is very, very clever photography. --DuckobertDag (talk) 13:59, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- If you like it so much, I suggest you also add support. --99of9 (talk) 02:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- I've only now noticed that there is an uncropped version, which is clearly better in composition. 99of9, you should leave the cropping to the original photographer, who clearly understands more of it than you do. --DuckobertDag (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would appreciate if you played the ball not the man, per the voting guidelines "criticising the author/nominator rather than the image". If you do want to discuss my edits, I was correcting other problems with the image when I made the crop, which I still believe is an improvement as it removes some subjects that were cut in half (hand/fireplace). If you prefer the original, you are welcome to put it up as an alternative - I may even support that too. 99of9 (talk) 02:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well I think that one should respect the photographer - if the picture was published this way, it should be left untinkered with. You wouldn't "improve" a painting by cropping it and tinkering with contrast and colour to make it look like you want it to look. Sorry about the personal attack though. --DuckobertDag (talk) 13:43, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Actually around here it's quite common for edited photographs to succeed where the original failed. Collaboration is after all the spirit of wikis. The photographer certainly has my respect, but that doesn't mean he did everything perfectly the first time. Anyway, his version is obviously still available untouched for everyone to see. I have simply made a derivative work, which he would certainly be agreeable to, given the license he released it under. --99of9 (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Comment I thought putting user names in the file name was not approved on commons. This would apply to all your other nominations. Snowmanradio (talk) 12:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Why should it not be approved? Commons:File naming does not mention anything against it. Diti the penguin — 15:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- The name is supposed to be descriptive. I think that "ComputerHotline" in these file names will cause a lot of people searching for computer images to find the wrong sort of images. Snowmanradio (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- I wonder how you define “a lot”, but if you try to google “computer” or search for the first 15,000 computer images on Commons (given the fact there are as of now 13,297 of them on Commons), you won’t find any reference to ComputerHotline’s photos. The file names are already descriptive enough, if he wants to add his name too, fine. Diti the penguin — 18:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think that "ComputerHotline" as the first characters in a photograph about a church is unhelpful, and it may also be misleading. It seems to me that these particular characters are not usually associated with churches and could be expected to imply something to do with computers or networks. Snowmanradio (talk) 00:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I think asking the author to change “ComputerHotline” by “Thomas Bresson” could fix part of the problem then. Or move this at the end of the file name. Diti the penguin — 11:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, but I don't think we should feature an image with a hugely warped horizon (even visible in thumbnail!) I don't think it is hills, the horizon is too far away for that, I think it's clearly a stitching/perspective problem (having had many similar problems myself). Are the original images available for re-stitching, this is obviously wonderful work, and I think it's important to get it right. --99of9 (talk) 03:42, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment I've just had a look through the creator's gallery (some very interesting & detailed scenes, thankyou), and this warping appears to be a common problem. See for example File:Stuart Island Lighthouse.jpg for the most extreme I found. --99of9 (talk) 03:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose My vote won't change anything and of course, the view is impressive... But there still is that non straight horizon, and I don't think this is on purpose. It is easy to fix that. Even the free softwares such as Hugin let you do so easily and quickly. Why not taking 10 seconds to carefully set horizon which, in its current state, ruins the picture ? Benh (talk) 10:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose. This is crazy, the picture is broken. The horizon is curved. Maybe not as utterly screwed up as the previous version, but this is still unacceptable in light of how easy it is to get it right. If you cannot do it yourself, please seek help from contributors with plenty of pano experience. It is just sad to see wht looks like good source material go to waste in a badly done stitch. --Dschwen (talk) 12:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Support Herby has done great job improving the exposure. However, the ice is still overexposed partly (which cannot be fixed by any editing). Anyway, I think the rarity of this kind of quality images from Greenland villages and the aesthetics this time outweight the technical pitfalls in this image. Thanks for all the contributors for providing this interesting and beautiful photo! --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:14, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment I agree Matti. The originals used are, when seen separately of vary inhomogenous quality and focal distance and taken almost three years ago with an ordinary compact camera. I am very grateful that one of our best stitchers, Noodle snacks has taken his time on his own intiative to download all those images on a limited bandwidth connection to Tasmania and make a very good restich and selective sharpening to fix these inhomogenieties as well as possible, and then Herbythyme comes by and does a great job trying to recover what can be recovered in the blown ice, also offering his assistance and time voluntarily. I know Herby is still considering improving it further. All this enthusiasm and cross-collaboration is one of the reasons why I like Commons so much. It is really great when competences being lacked by one user can be supplemented by others this way. And when the outcome is being received so positive, it has actually surprised me... Thanks. --Slaunger (talk) 16:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose A bit distracting background, rather dark subject... Maybe a QI, but I don't feel like I'm watching an outstanding shot that deserves FP status... Benh (talk) 22:35, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Support Are you joking? This is a portrait. It is quite common to take a portrait with a unsharp background to emphasise the potrayee, so to say. But what is distracting in this picture's background? -- "Rather dark subject"? This bird is BLACK. I do not understand your critique. May be you can be a little more specific and explain? Zapyon (talk) 11:35, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't complained about the background to be unsharp, but a little distracting because of the circles. And I find the picture to be too "common". When u have 400mm (+1.6 crop), it's not so hard to get thousands shots like that (I've tried, I know what I'm talking about... u follow a subject and use burst ; and I don't have 40D with 8 images / sec). FP has to be a little distinctive from the common shot. You're right about the black point. Still, I've seen some similar subjects with more details than this one. Here the most part is in the shadow... that doesn't help. Benh (talk) 10:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Regarding the shadow part, the reason I liked this was because of the backlit white feathers, otherwise I'd agree with the assessment. --Dori - Talk 14:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

- I agree with Loadmaster --Cephas (talk) 23:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose I agree that the last one on its own is great. The second last also adds very significant value because it shows the action well (and has nice colours and composition). But I don't think the other two add enough further. So I would support the set of two, but not four. --99of9 (talk) 09:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment IMHO the first one is important because it shows how the snow actually gets onto the track (I wish I had a closer picture of the special car that scrapes the snow off the sides...). I put the second one in not because it adds much EV, but because I think it looks nice and it fits into the set. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment I personally feel this is a valid set nomination. The work of a snowplow cannot easily be shown in one image so a set is a valid approach. I do feel that a set of three or maybe two per 99of9 might be sharper and I would probably support such a set. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 11:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment I would like to support (1) collage of these four figures, or (2) the animated .GIF, where these 4 figures will appear one by one. -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 20:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment I'm with Dschwen here. If you need a collage for some article, you can easily put the pictures next to each other in whichever way you like. Animated GIF is even worse, you cannot show a single picture out of the set, cannot modify the rate at which they change (it will always be the rate I chose when putting it together), you cannot add a description to one of the pictures, and, worst of all, it only supports 255 colors, which will look horrible. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment I agree with Kabelleger and Dschwen, GIF would be horrible, and collage is a backward step. --99of9 (talk) 03:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Support. Valid set nomination, very nice pictures, and they complement each other. Pasting them together is rather pointless, that's what we have set nominations for. An animated GIF would be even worse. Do I have to spell out why? --Dschwen (talk) 20:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Neutral Very interesting and valuable pictures. Unfortunately, I don't think the composition is as superb as with your previous train FPs. The third one is best IMO, but the machine is unfortunately hidden behind the snow stream. A picture with both the vehicle and the action visible in one shot like File:Rotating snowplow on Bergensbanen.jpeg would be great, but difficult to take these days of course. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

- Dear Daniel, I wish you good luck in April. Let's hope that the famous San Francisco Fog of our w:Indian summer would be around in April :) I love that fog, it is really a beautiful sight to behold. BTW there was a funny story associated with this image. There's a lighthouse few miles down the road from the place the image was taken from. I've heard that the light from that lighthouse in the fog is something to see, so I asked my husband to go there. I wish I did not. While driving we found ourselves in such a fog that I've never ever experienced before. We got lost, we did not know, where is the road. Few times I got out, and tried to locate the road with flashlight :) We were about to settle down for the night, but we were rescued by a bicyclist. He kindly agreed to ride slow enough :) for us to follow...--Mbz1 (talk) 18:41, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose. This doesn't have much in common with classical B&W. It is so much less to just desaturate a color pic. I don't like it. Artsy-*artsy at the expense of educational value. We should not throw COM:SCOPE out of the window for the effect. --Dschwen (talk) 20:59, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

And this one has nothing that sets it apart from the (good average) mass. --Dschwen (talk) 16:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment -- Good to see that someone is finally trying (in some lateral way) to raise the FPC bar. Though I sympathize with the idea (as you know, I have proposed several times to do it by raising the number of necessary votes) I doubt that the initiative have any success. But if that is really what you are trying to do, you have my support. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- All I can do is give an honest opinion (well, it is sometimes difficult to balance "honesty" and trying to be nice. And I bet quite a few people here will tell you that I shifted the balance heavily to one particular side. Ask this guy for example ;-) ). I found for myself that going on a mission can only be frustrating here. So, am I trying to raise the bar? No, but I have my personal bar, as anyone else certainly does, and it already is quite high ;-) (at least for other peoples pictures! ;-P). --Dschwen (talk) 16:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Neutral. This is more of a QI to me. It is a well done solid shot, and certainly a pleasant end result. But it does not surprise me, it doesn't have an original idea behind it. --Dschwen (talk) 16:12, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Support Per Yann - there's more to the world of photography than insects and birds. --MichaelBueker (talk) 17:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose Per Everyone... but that doesn't mean we should feature any portrait. That one doesn't stand out from others (Don't see any attack against the model anyone..;) )... and background is quite distracting to my taste for a portrait. Sorry Joaquim. - Benh (talk) 20:43, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Comment - Very seldom I come in defense of my pictures ... and dames. In this case, I truly believe this photo is special due to the quality of the indirect lighting, the composition, the combination of colors and (of course) the beauty of the subject. Am I being partial? I don't think so. The fact that this is just the portrait of a common European girl dressed in a common way (the exotic touch is absent) shoudn't in my opinion affect the outcome. (Well, I think I'm talking too much, maybe because of the long absence) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:08, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

- It still looks like a shadow to me. All those shots show a clean white shoulder band stretching all the way around from the chest to the back; this one doesn't. The shadow seems to be cast by the tree trunk; it runs linearly down through the bird's head and shoulder, but is most obvious on the shoulder. --Avenue (talk) 01:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Comment I'm thinking this would look better with a crop that gets rid of the tree on the left, and the white area on the right. It does become a bit squarish though, so I'm not sure which I prefer... --Dori - Talk 23:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- I can make an alternate choice, but I surely wouln't like such a tight crop. It's a question of personal preference, of course. To me, the tree on the left "explain" the shadow on the bird and for that reason it should stay visible. Also, the look of the bird gives a "direction" in the picture toward the right, therefore space is needed on the right to keep our eye in the picture. Apart from all this, I always like the subject to "breathe" in the picture. --Cephas (talk) 00:37, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

- IMO the composition is much more interesting than the "normal" birdphoto-composition (like File:Dusky Moorhen Water Lilies.jpg or File:Pinicola enucleator m CT2.jpg) and the background is beautiful. The lack or colours is also somehow interesting IMO. I do agree about the quality, but it's not that bad. This is one of those pictures, which are more about the place (Yyterin lietteet = Yyteri's sludge which is sertified to be one of FINIBA (Finnish Important Bird Areas)). But as you don't see anything special in it, I withdraw my nomination. —kallerna™ 11:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Info Align the sides of the buildings with the side of your browser at full zoom; I can't see any tilt there. The water is apparently higher on the left because of the distance, but this is only an optical illusion. I do agree on the right side crop, I didn't saw that in the final composition (a big ship was located to the immediate right of the actual crop, all I did was to cut that ship). --S23678 (talk) 22:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

- Could you point out exactly where that is? --S23678 (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's pretty much every building. My eye expects horizontal lines for the floors. Instead it appears to be clockwise leaning, due to perspective maybe. If the building has a corner, the left side should be angling up going right whereas the right side should be more horizontal? I don't really know how to explain it, just giving my "eye feel" --Dori - Talk 05:25, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, you're talking about perspective. Well, this is real life stuff, and it has nothing to do with the camera or post-processing. A "real" distortion would have been the absence of perspective for such a scene.--S23678 (talk) 13:53, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Support and
Comment I was pleased to see this nomination and all your supports, thank you all. I didn't nominated this image at first because of some of the flaws I saw from post production and some artistic liberties I took. Mainly, due to fast changing light conditions, luminosity levels in the sky are different from frame to frame, and this is visible by moving the image left to right. I tired to fix the problem, but my post-processing skills are still quite limited. As well, I played with the levels, curves and WB to get this 2 tone sky to pop-up (no "Photoshop cheating", just colour enhancement), which may be considered by some to be an unacceptable distortion of reality. But, from your supports, I guess I was a bit hard on myself...! --S23678 (talk) 22:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

- EXIF data is an hour out so it was 10:46. I'm afraid I don't get the relevance of another image at a totally different time of day on a different continent? (I am going to assume you are not in the UK). The image had a little blue removed (it was over blue) and then was very slightly warmed looking at the history. Other than the inevitable levelling and a dustspot removal nothing else of note is in the history - clarification welcome --Herby talk thyme 13:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Referencing the skyline was for an exposure example. Simply said and despite the skyline I find the exposure/curves strange. • Richard • [®] • 13:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- And that was taken in May in the afternoon. The sea is something which gives great variety fortunately. The exposure curve is untouched and linear. --Herby talk thyme 14:23, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Manual exposure metering (mostly used for panos) gives you no reference regarding the real lighting conditions. It depends what you measure.

Oppose The guy onthe bench would have been a pretty strong subject with tighter framing. This is neither fish nor fowl. The composition seems unfocussed.

Comment Is a good subject and an FP will be possible I think. This version has a major composition weakness with an uninteresting and dark tree located in the very centre as a dominant element.

Comment -- ***@Dschwen: well, that would be a quite narrow and unimaginative concept of ‘educational value’, even accepting it as a criterion of inclusion for FPC (which is far from obvious). Extraordinary pictures where the element "beauty" prevails, like this one, this one or this one would be probably excluded if such restrictive concept of yours were to be applied. I can live well with straight honesty (and lack of nicety) but have some difficulty in accepting the mixture of boldness and inaccuracy. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:49, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hm. I went over both the Image guidelines and the FP criteria. And it is correct, that educational value does not appear there. However it appears in the project scope as Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. Well, you call my interpretation restrictive, I can live with that. But it still puzzles me that you thought this image would not only be useful enough to upload it, but even so very special, that it should be nominated on FPC. There is no question that with a sufficient amout of creativity you can make up an educational purpose for almost any image (if only as a negative example ;-) ). Anyhow, I think it would be a mistake to Flickrize this page. FPs should serve as a good example, and one aspect is being well within procect scope, and not just barely with a lot if liberty in interpreting the guidelines. --Dschwen (talk) 20:08, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Support That for sure has wow, and nice colors to me. I wouldn't fully support (see after why) but I'd like to "compensate" the mechanical "low DOF" opposes.

Comment I tried a few different crops that avoid the distracting shadows and some of the foreground. The one I like best is to the right. I think the composition is a bit better here, although some of the nice colours are lost. I still don't feel it should be an FP, but perhaps others will disagree. -- Avenue (talk) 09:24, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose. Many little things I don't like here. 1) format: portrait would have been more appropriate 2) DOF to high, makes the image look cluttered and does not direct attention to the main subject 3) main subject too small and unclear from that angle 4) tree cropped unnecessarily just above the bottom. All in all a good picture but far from excellent for me. --Dschwen (talk) 15:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose It's a good, but imo not a featured picture. And I also missed a encyclopedical meaning --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 17:18, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Info The top of this is damaged, almost every other version of this I've ever seen has the top in an orange-salmon colour. Due to extreme fading evidently unique to this particular copy, that is nearly completely lost, only visible with close inspection. It's simply bad practice to portray a highly damaged copy of a mass-produced artwork as amongst the best on Commons. (Original nomination)
Delist -- Russkie (talk) 07:48, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

- It was taken with a tripod, and it's a three exposures blending. Softness is probably due to the lens and to the focal length. It's a Canon 10-22 and the picture was taken at 10mm, where the lens is soft on the borders. - Benh (talk) 12:08, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

- That would have been a different image. This one shows the mountain dominate the landscape (and occupy 2/3 of the image). --Elekhh (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't agree with you as the mountain blends a bit too much with the sky, so we can't talk about mountain dominating the landscape being the main subject in my opinion. Also there's a bit of room above that mountain to move upright the castle a bit. - Benh (talk) 21:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- I agree that this composition with dominating mountain is good. - Tupungato (talk) 11:51, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry. The picture is good, but this one is better, because there is the better crop to assist the height of the building and would get my vote, if you nominate that instead of this. -- Ra'ike T C 17:42, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose Unfortunately the quality isn't quite there. Should have probably gone with ISO 400 (or even more), and a larger aperture. Was this in the wild? You seemed to be pretty close to it. --Dori - Talk 23:03, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose The image might be sharper; the beak and the eye are a little blurry. I also don't like the blown highlights on the head. Composition is also sort of tight. -- Tupungato (talk) 11:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
