- Nomination Atlas Cedar cone. -- Ram-Man 12:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline much of the image is out of focus, and since it is a vertical composition the only way to apreciate it is a full screen, yet in this form much of the detail is lost. i sugest a croped version.-LadyofHats 11:51, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

There is no copyright holder: it's public domain. -- Ram-Man 19:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
It's a technicality. It's OK for us to have the image, but to be a QIC, it must have been created by a 'commoner'. The purpose of QI is not actually recognition of Quality Images, it's to encourage the creation of Quality Images. Giving recognition to Quality Images is just the means to that end.

-
- Nomination Abbey Königsfelden in Switzerland --Brian67 15:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline Low quality: Poor fine details in the roof shingles. For an 8MP image, the quality is really low, probably due to camera quality. It doesn't look good, even downsampled to 1600x1200 and with an unsharp mask applied. -- Ram-Man 15:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Cloudless Surfer Butterfly (Phoebis sennae) --Scrumshus 23:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

- Nomination Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) by Simonizer. The butterfly is sharp, that's what's important. -- Ram-Man 17:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Sanctuary in the National Cathedral in Washington -- grendel|khan 19:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Image of Medusa worms Synaptula lamberti feeding on soft corals. Member of the order Holothuroidea, sea cucumbers. --Jnpet 01:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

- Nomination Bee, My Argument: Makrofreak style --Makro Freak 16:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- Nomination Bee, My Argument: Makrofreak style --Makro Freak 16:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline A difficult evaluation. The focus is technically wrong: sharp on two different edges, blurry in the middle. The eye doesn't know where to look. Focus should be a little closer I think. -- Ram-Man 12:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
-
- Nomination Bee, My Argument: Makrofreak style --Makro Freak 16:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Rice terraces on the island of Bali --Jnpet 08:25, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline I like the subject matter, though I'm unsure about the composition. It isn't really about either the trees or the terraces. Has it been downsampled? Or cropped? For whatever reason, it's smaller than it should be. Lastly, it's not quite sharp. Sorry, Ben Aveling 11:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
-
- Nomination A white flower in a creek. --Scrumshus 20:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline I really like this one, both it and the one it's cropped from. I'd love to recommend it for promotion. I've actually spotted the original before and thought long and hard about nominating it. But it, and this crop, are just too noisy. What ISO did you use? Could you have used a lower ISO and a longer exposure? Better luck next time. Ben Aveling 11:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

- Nomination Watermelon leaf. -- Ram-Man 02:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline Nice quality but poor composition and framing, affecting not only the aesthetics of the image but also its illustrative value. Alvesgaspar 21:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Illustrative value is leaf form and detail. Context would be a different picture. -- Ram-Man 03:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Doñana National Park (Andalusia, Spain) -- MJJR 15:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline Quality seems good enough, although colours are a bit washed out. But composition is weak due to excessive symmetry. Because this is somehow subjective, I vote neutral. - Alvesgaspar 21:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
* Colours washed out (should be better with more sun or a pol-filter), foreground not distinctive, which makes the composition very flat and unresting. --Florian Prischl 22:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Leaves and flowers of a Grevillea robusta tree - Alvesgaspar 23:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline Overexposed elements caused by less than ideal lighting, and the noise threshold is right at the threshold of critical detail. The resolution is too low for so much detail and it makes the image look unsharp. A difficult nom to evaluate. -- Ram-Man 12:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

- Decline A neutral grey background may have been better. Harsh reflection on right shell. Difficult to make out the detail. Is this an old dried out shell? --Tony Wills 12:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

- Nomination Different approach to your standard "Zoo shot" Gnangarra 13:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline A nice idea, but the focus has landed on the bamboo rather than the monkeys. The keepers are pretty much in focus, but there the angle was against you. The front keeper has her back to us, and she's blocking the view of the other keeper. Bugger. Ben Aveling 10:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

The background looks unnatural and quality is poor (note the edges of the orange) - Alvesgaspar 09:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC) Comment: The background is real, but i agree the quality is poor, and the white balance is somehow wrong. The photo was "painted with light" --Malene Thyssen 18:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

- Nomination Portrait of a 8 years old girl - Alvesgaspar 09:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Spiderweb isn't clear and it's not sharp if you zoom in. Send this to CR if Ben changes to support. -- Ram-Man 12:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC) No, it's close, but it just falls short. Ben Aveling 11:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

- Decline Decent quality, but why is the DOF so low on a subject as flat as a leaf? --Dschwen 08:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
No good reason. I just assumed it had to be enough DoF because the leaf was flat, but I was not perpendicular to the leaf. Oh well. -- Ram-Man 20:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

- same as the one after. overexposed but tolerable, i would promote it what do you think? -LadyofHats 09:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose perspective distortion and a bit blurry around the trees. --Digon3 talk 16:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)- Info This is panorama view - it can has little perspective distortion... and if You want sharper view You can resample it - resolution is enought. --Lestat 21:09, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Running total: 0 support (excluding the nominator), 1 oppose -> decline? --Tony Wills 22:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

- Info Lestat, voting is still running, notice the questionmark. Question The brown tree bottom left is blurred,
looks to me like the bad habit of feathering some stitiching programs have.Is that present in the original image(s)? yes, it is in the original image as well, not a stitching bug--Klaus with K 12:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC) - Support shows town structure nicely, simulating a wide angle lense one cannot avoid some distortion - and on balance I accept the slanting lines let's keep it in the voting for now -- Klaus with K 12:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Anemone Thalictrum thalictroides Flower edit
- Nomination Rue Anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides) flower. -- Ram-Man 02:34, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Promotion
- I'm not sure on this one. Both composition and sharpness are great, as well as the texture of the flower. But the image seems somber and undersaturated. I think that a little more colour and light would make the pictute much more attractive. - Alvesgaspar 21:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it may be a little undersaturated/ underexposed. However, this brings out the glitter in the petals. Very good focus, therefore I promote it. (I hope this is allright, because it wasn't in CR). --Florian Prischl 22:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Edit: Therefore, I Support both the old and new version (I guess the only one we are voting on here is the new one anyway, since it overwrote the old one, right?). --Florian Prischl 22:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Neutral --LC-de 18:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)- Comment I uploaded and overwrote the old version. The new one is levels-adjusted and should be much brighter now. -- Ram-Man 17:31, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support - Only because the white texture of the flower is superb, and despite the so so composition and leaves out of focus. - Alvesgaspar 18:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support the picture is nice, the white would be oversaturated if more light was used.-LadyofHats 13:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

King Vulture closeup edit
- Nomination King vulture closeup. Adamantios 18:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline
- Oppose The feather thingy is overexposed and the photo is too tight. Otherwise a marvellous shot. –Dilaudid 11:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support I wouldn't call this picture overexposed only if there were a tiny white area with little contrast in the object pictured as a tiny white area with no contrast. An the tight crop... ok, maybe it won't be FP, but in my opinion it's good enough for QI. --LC-de 12:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose- unfortunatly for you the tiny white area ( wich is not so tiny) is in the midle of the atention focus. and that detail kills the wonderfull picture that this is -LadyofHats 13:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- The ironic thing is that, from the other photos (Sarcoramphus_papa), the white feather is not part of the head but a stray feather just plucked from its chest. --Tony Wills 13:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

- - i do not think the composition is that good, surely is in focuss and all, but there is just too much empty space-LadyofHats 12:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with LadyofHats and therefore decline it. Also, it seems to "collapse" a little - the building looks very hard to caputre, though. --Florian Prischl 22:33, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Crocodylus porosus edit
- Nomination Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) --AngMoKio 20:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline
- ilumination problems, or is it a filter? any case shadow on the right side-LadyofHats 12:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think that this shadow is reason enough for the a decline. I think the photo is very sharp and shows very well the details of this crocodile - the shadow is a tree near by but doesn't affect the view on the main subject - the crocodile --AngMoKio 15:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- if it was a natural shadow maybe, but it is a color distortion in the whole image and that takes away quality. since color is also a detail from the subject -LadyofHats 08:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- This is strange. It does not look like an illumination problem, more like a filter to me. The subject is pictured very well, but the dark area is very distracting, especially on the front of the snout. I'll think about this one. --Florian Prischl 22:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Maybe it's a filter, maybe bad illumination, after all it's an odd thing and very distracting. --LC-de 05:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose i would also decline it-LadyofHats 13:03, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose Tilted towards left, uninteresting frame/crop. --Florian Prischl 22:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- I still Oppose, also the second version. The cropping does not add to it - it remains distracting, I think. A photo taken closer to it and more to the left (of the current viewpoint) would be better. --Florian Prischl 22:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Info Have a look at this panorama in the early morning, further left as you suggest but also higher up. One problem is the white tent of Dynamic Earth getting in the way, the second is access on the steep slope. --Klaus with K 10:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- Support Good photo, colours are better now. It seems a little blurred, but I think that is just me... --Florian Prischl 23:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose The newly uploaded version worsens the CA issue sigificantly. --Dschwen 13:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support The bird looks good, even at reasonably large magnifications. The CA is a non-issue as I didn't even notice it on the rocks without all this discussion. People looking at this image pay attention to the subject (the bird) anyway. The quality of the main subject is sufficient. -- Ram-Man 15:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Is not that difficult to fix the CA issue, I will support it then --Simonizer 08:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Info I've now replaced the candidate photo with a new version. I tried to work on the CA problem and there should now be less magenta and cyan glow on the rubble. Please tell me what you think. –Dilaudid 11:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose if after so long it hasnt come to an agreement the image should be taken out and fixed. -LadyofHats 12:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Fixing is exactly what I was trying to do. Can you be more specific as to which parts of the photo are still suffering of excess CA? –Dilaudid 18:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- CA is nothing you can so easily fix, it apears basically in every "line" or "border" of objects. it is normally a group of pixels wich are of a completly diferent colot. in your case blue pixels all arround the feathers and bird. together with a lot of green in the stones. the problem is that if not done right messing so much with the image make end giving it a "fake" feeling. colors tend to overexpose, and lines become really blury.
still if you like to work on it, there is a chance to save it, but if you have never done it before and want to save yourself from hours of pixel per pixel work, then just try taking another picture-LadyofHats 09:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Comment The voting is difficult to untangle because peoples votes refer to different versions. Latest version does have a lot of artifacts after all this processing and is twice the size of the original kea picture. Perhaps go back to original and start again ;-) --Tony Wills 12:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Panorama of Mt Elizabeth and hills.jpg edit
- Nomination Fainting range and farmland --Benjamint 08:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Promotion
- What I like: The ways the top of the hills roll, especially the lone tree. The colors. What I dislike: the shadow of one hill on the other. The shadow of I don't know what at the extreme right. (Maybe crop that?). The way the trees on the distant range sort of merge into the trees on the middle ground hills. Wouldn't object to a bit more detail, but that's more minor. Ben Aveling 10:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- - actually i like it all excet from the shadow on the right end, since it comes from the back of the photographer and mixes with the trees. if croped that part i would promote it-LadyofHats 12:51, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK.
Declined. But crop the shadow and we'll support promotion. Ben Aveling 04:20, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
SupportThe showed image is already the croped one, if so then i would support the image. i think you would agree or?-LadyofHats 13:20, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- I was wondering about which shadow was meant, but now I see a new image has been uploaded over the old :-) --Tony Wills 13:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose - Poor framing and composition, not a good example to show in the QI archive of what a photo of a cow should be - Alvesgaspar 16:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose the composition is a bit too straight forward. Try to place main objects not in the middle of the picture - this results mostly (not always) in a more interesting composition. --AngMoKio 17:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - The other cows in the background distract from the subject, especially the cut-off cow on the right side. Exposure is OK, but the composition seems a bit random/not planned. --Florian Prischl 17:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose - Image quality of the sky and distant buildings is quite poor. I don't like the trees in the shadow either. - Alvesgaspar 18:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Info I did not downscale the almost 5Kx3K stitch despite distant building possibly looking sharper scaled 50% (would still be >3MB), shall investigate the noisy sky (will take time, stitch not on this computer), even the sunlit part of trees appear dark because of the high contrast (did not change gamma), without the slanting light the wall relief would be less pronounced -- Klaus with K 18:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose The contrast curve on this image is all wrong. The flowers are overexposed and the shadows are underexposed. There is very little detail in this image. -- Ram-Man 13:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose as per Ram-Man. This appears to be heavily post-shot edited, or it was shot with some strange filter.

- Support It's a good one. Rough strokes and border reflects the creator's technique and ekspression. I believe Kasuga created this illustration for printing purpose, right? Antialiasing makes it better for display but it will not work well for printing. 13:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC) —the preceding unsigned comment is by Hariadhi (talk • contribs)

Sawtooth Oak Trunk edit

- Decline
- OpposeDont understand the screw, why its not cropped?--Makro Freak 19:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- CommentThe screw is there to add a sense of scale, just like adding a ruler or some other common object. Tree bark can be size ambiguous, so having this helps you understand it. While it may take away from the "magic" if this was a FP candidate, it is not a quality issue. -- Ram-Man 19:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose per Makro Freak. It breaks the picture for me. Otherwise, OK. Ben Aveling 12:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- This isn't FP, there is now "wow factor" requirement. If you want to add a wow factor to QI, then QI becomes FP. Sure, it's easy enough to crop out the screw, but I shouldn't be required. Obviously a picture without a screw is going to be more pretty, but then it loses some encyclopedic value. Does this image have sufficient quality or not? -- Ram-Man 12:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- I think it comes under composition rather than 'wow' - the edge of the sign makes me want to see the whole sign, but if the whole sign was there it would be even more distracting :-). I've been thinking about a photo of a worm (a very large worm :-) that I photographed today, in one photo I included my set of keys for scale, but I am considering using that to allow me to insert a small (unobtrusive) scale in the corner of the image (like you get on maps) as the keys will be very distracting. --Tony Wills 12:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Feeling like HAL3000 and say "i have to think about it" --Makro Freak 15:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The rules say ...
- The arrangement of the subject within the image should contribute to the image. Foreground and background objects should not be distracting. Lighting and focus also contribute to the overall result; the subject should be sharp, uncluttered, and well-exposed.
- And i still have the feeling that the screw is distracting. We have to wait for more comments. --Makro Freak 16:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- For me, it's not the screw, it's the picture? sign? hanging off it. My eye is drawn straight to it, and off the picture. Anyway, a screw and sign is also size ambiguous. Regards, Ben Aveling 20:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- And i still have the feeling that the screw is distracting. We have to wait for more comments. --Makro Freak 16:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- The arrangement of the subject within the image should contribute to the image. Foreground and background objects should not be distracting. Lighting and focus also contribute to the overall result; the subject should be sharp, uncluttered, and well-exposed.
- Oppose and agree with Makro Freak and Ben Aveling. Composition is a quality factor for any photograph and is (and should be) one for QI. Instead of a sign, maybe an insect or an unobtrusive ruler (a transparent plastic one with black numbers held to the side of the tree, for example) would show scale better and be less distracting. Maybe the screw alone would have been unobtrusive enough for this to pass. But, as Ben Aveling said, the cut-off sign is a problem, too. Besides that, the photo is fine. --Florian Prischl 21:17, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Dont agree, why is the composition unclear? --Makro Freak 14:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The shallow DoF and the angle that the shot was taken at make it unclear what exactly we are looking at. It is not obvious without a caption. The blurry foreground doesn't help the composition either. -- Ram-Man 18:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose It seems to be focused on the part in front of the bee's head, if I am not mistaken. Besides, I agree with Ram-Man that the subject is not made clear by the photograph itself. --Florian Prischl 21:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

- Comment I really don't care whether this becomes a QI, but I am concerned about the precedent. This was an 8MP camera at the lowest ISO setting. We get a LOT of cameras that have lower resolution and similar noise levels through QI. This noise is not visible except at poster size magnifications, and even then it isn't that noticeable unless you specifically look for it. We should probably reject most images non-SLR automatically if this one gets rejected. At 2MP, the noise is not visible. If it was downsampled, there wouldn't be any noise. -- Ram-Man 03:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support I think you should care, if this one doesn't get QIfied then I would question the QI qualification process. Lots of QI pictures aren't nearly as good as this one. Benh 07:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- My point was that it was already a FP, so being a QI as well doesn't mean all that much to me one way or the other. Much more important is setting a precedent where this level of quality is unacceptable. We'd have to expect closer to technical perfection. -- Ram-Man 12:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Noisy and unsharp? Are we looking at the same picture? The image you have compared it to has visible noise in a prominent location at 2MP, but more importantly the buds are not very sharp. This image does not have much noise (except of course at large magnifications, but so do all digital camera images) and is very sharp. -- Ram-Man 17:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment If you have a problem with my assessment of another image, comment on that image instead. Judge each image on its own merits. -- Ram-Man 18:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- well, the other picture hasn't much more noise. This pic has some unwanted artifacts as well, due to noise from sensor or due to compression (which would still be noise, since it deviates from what the ideal picture should be). I agree this one is a bit sharper but I still think it's artificial, and due to (in camera or not) post processing. I'll have another look tomorrow, maybe I'll change my mind.

- Decline The flowers are a little out of focus, the bee is OK. The background is noisy. It's close, but I'm not sure it's quite there. Ben Aveling 10:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Also, composition is weak, with the subject right on the center, and the bee is too small and unconspicuous. Alvesgaspar 21:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Prunus spec sprout edit
- Nomination Sprouts and trunk of a Prunus sp. tree (probably a cherry-tree - Prunus avius) - Alvesgaspar 22:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

- ah :) I don't say it's wrong, but I think this wouldn't be consistent. Benh 18:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Neutral I find the image not in balance, sprout in the middle and trunk to the right but nothing to balance it on the left. I would have turned the camera 10-20 percent further right, crop would be second best only. And the nearmost sprout is slightly out of focus. --Klaus with K 18:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

- Decline
- Support The long shadow behind looks a little odd, but clearly QI --Tony Wills 07:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I've been thinking about this and the shadow and white surface really bug me too much. Yes the camera itself is splendidly captured but as a whole I don't think this should be set up as an example of good product photography. –Dilaudid 16:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose ack Dilaudid. A product shot like this should be near perfect. I think it needs a second diffuse lighting source to eliminate the shadow. -- Ram-Man 18:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose ack the above. Ben Aveling 00:45, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose both version, the first one just barely - the shadow, background and blue-ish tone are too distracting, however. ACK Ram-Man: With a second diffuse light source, the first one would probably be QI (the angle is good!). The second one is too flat. --Florian Prischl 22:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

- Support new version. Ben Aveling 01:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support new version. -- Ram-Man 03:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Question I prefer the angle of the first one, but the second one seems generally sharper. I can find a few areas that aren't perfectly clear in each one, but both seem pretty good to me (apart from the long trailing shadow on the first one). Ignoring the shadow, why do you think the first one is such a better image of the camera? Ben Aveling 08:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ignoring the shadow :-), The first one has depth, the second looks flat (clinical). The first one is better lit and a better angle (eg front of lens detail, flash shoe, options dial). The cameras surface looks noisier on the second one (but maybe that's better focus and it's showing surface texture better?). I don't like the dark shadow under the lens of the second. (and what colour is that 'M' logo on the front meant to be). It might be an emotional reaction rather than technical appraisal, but 'attractive' vs 'clinical' sums it up. --Tony Wills 12:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- (don't really oppose it though I liked the original --Tony Wills 12:23, 9 June 2007 (UTC))
- The Memory Stick logo is the same material as the grip, so the second photo is a little more accurate in that sense, depending on how your eye corrects for shadow. The first one used a higher ISO (my mistake), so I cannot see why the second would appear more noisy. Thegreenj 19:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support That's more like it, though it does seem to have lost some of its depth. –Dilaudid 15:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The 2nd photo does have less depth and is flatter. It's taken from a different angle, so we are looking down on it instead of along the top of it. Yes, the options dial is rendered less distinct, but the controls behind it are clearer, as is the side of camera. The lens is better in the first, the Sony logo better in the second. The shadow under the lens (and also under the body )in the second shot isn't great, but it doesn't leap out like the shadow behind the camera in the first shot. If it wasn't for the shadow, I guess I would prefer the first shot, but not by a big margin. And with the shadows, the 2nd clearly wins. Question How would a professional deal with the shadow? Put it on a stand? Use more indirect lighting? Photoshop? Regards, Ben Aveling 23:12, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose both version, the first one just barely - the shadow, background and blue-ish tone are too distracting, however. ACK Ram-Man: With a second diffuse light source, the first one would probably be QI (the angle is good!). The second one is too flat. --Florian Prischl 22:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Unidentified Grain Field Lancaster 3008px edit
- Nomination A field of grain in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. -- Ram-Man 00:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline
- OpposeThe field itself is superbly caught but the background doesn't work – I'm sure there were better options available. –Dilaudid 14:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree: The background is the farm associated with the field. When used as example of a typical Lancaster County farm, this is ideal: show the field and the farm buildings in proper context. This is way too picky for QI, but perhaps not a FPC. -- Ram-Man 14:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- I fully understand what you're aiming at, it's just that I personally would've preferred the buildings not to be as central in the composition. I might be picky but then again, as I see it, there's plenty of room for doing that here – I'm not going to complain if someone else wants this one promoted :) –Dilaudid 16:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose The background is basically OK, but the building seem to be titled (look at the silo - it looks a little strange). The background is too close vertically to the top of the spikes, and the sky is a strange shade of gray. --Florian Prischl 22:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Library of Congress Great Hall - Jan 2006.jpg edit
*
- Nomination The Great Hall of the Library of Congress --grendel|khan 01:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Decline
- This needs barrel distortion correction before it can be promoted. I understand that this is a panorama, but this is correctable. -- Ram-Man 12:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with barrel distortion (a lens defect), it just is a choice of projection. And every projection has its pros and cons. This one is a sensible choice for a confined room like the Great Hall. Barrel distortion is corrected automatically in the individual constituent images. --Dschwen 12:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- The correction you are aiming for will most likely convey a false sense of the proportions. --Dschwen 12:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right, "correction" will likely be unsuccessful. Still, the center of the image bows out like barrel distortion and I find it very distracting. However, the outside edges of the image are pinched. The projection looks highly unnatural to me. I'm glad this is in CR, so others can discuss it. -- Ram-Man 12:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- As suspected, any attempt to eliminate the barrel-type "distortion" in the first image results in distortion at the edges and edge cropping, as shown in the example above. However the lines straighten out and are much less "annoying". The relative sizes also look better, with nearer objects appearing larger, albiet stretched. Let's see what others think. -- Ram-Man 01:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- While I'm not others :-) the edit introduces skews and tilts. Plus we loos the front of the stairs. IMO it is just not worth it, the original is fine. Plus relative sizes also look better is a conclusion you could only take if you have seen the Great hall in person (have you?). --Dschwen 07:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, this edit was just an example only. The cropped out elements, skewing, and the lower quality make it a poor candidate. It's main purpose is to show why I don't like the original. The original has many straight lines in reality, but many are all horribly curved. You can see from this panorama the correct relative sizes. -- Ram-Man 11:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

You have done more editing to the left of clone area that you declared, what is it? You have clonestamped large areas in the original in at least two places and they have not been declared there or in the this edit. I don't know why nobody has noticed but I want to know what you did before I go any further with this. --Benjamint444 09:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Since I may be wrong.- Comment I wonder what and how much image editing is acceptable here in QI. Apart from the editing issue I think the photo is fine. I also see this image being discussed on FPC.--Klaus with K 09:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- In my opinion any amount of editing is acceptable as long as it is flawless because I do a lot of editing myself but the other problem is that it is undeclared --Benjamint444 10:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Cygnus olor flirt.jpg - Comment Why you think its not declared ? There is a retouched picture tag on it, above the description which says ... removed a 3rd swan, so whats your problem? Should i write a long story how i did it?

- Question The reviewer has pointed out that he declined QI solely on camera-techical grounds. Using this 1800x1200 pixel (2.16MB) photo from a FUJI MX-2700 (1999 vintage) as a benchmark, may I politely ask for a few second opinions whether this camera and QI are incompatible. (Maybe a topic for the discussion page?) --Klaus with K 14:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- If this is the best you can get out of this camera then I'd have to agree with Ram-man. solely on camera-techical grounds is a bit misleading as the camera-techical grounds are very serious in this picture. Low res and washed out detail would require a downsampling to image sizes way below the threshold for QI to get acceptable quality. Sorry, but cellphone camera pics would have it equally hard. --Dschwen 07:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- It depends on your subject. I've got 1 FP and 2 QI out of my point and shoot, but they've all been of interesting things I've been fortunate enough to get close to (like meters, not cm). Anything further away and the images just aren't quite sharp enough, even with a tripod. So it depends on conditions and subject. But on the other hand, 2.16MB really doesn't give much margin for error; if your shot isn't perfect, it's going to be hard to crop it and still have something large enough. Probably time to upgrade if you can. Regards, Ben Aveling 11:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

- OpposeThe size is precisely the problem of this guy: he is too small according to the guidelines... Alvesgaspar 22:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support !! This is a really good photo of a tick's head. Surely the size of the subject is a sufficient mitigating circumstance. As viewed at 100% on a 17" screen the real tick would fit in the gap between those two protruding mouth parts. --Tony Wills 03:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support I think that precious few 1000x600 images should be considered QI, and with the subject matter being so tiny, this should be accepted. It is a very illustrative pic. Cacophony 07:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

- Good enough for QP. Nice colors, composition, subject. Not perfectly sharp, understandable, but unfortunate. Ben Aveling 21:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Also, I think the bacgr. and foreground are distracting --Orlovic (talk) 14:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Very nice motif with fantastic colors but with a disturbing element ... the tree. I think there was light enough to set a larger ISO value and fasten up the closure time. A picture like this needs a minimum of
1000ms-1600ms1/1000s - 1/1600s. Taken by a Canon EOS 400d, this result doesnt convince me for a skillfull camera like this. Even the static counter on the left side is blurry. --Makro Freak 15:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)- So you're suggesting a 1 to 1.6 second exposure for this? Thegreenj 16:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- I could be wrong, but I think he really means a "faster" shutter speed of 1/1000 - 1/1600, which bumping up the ISO would provide. Either way, I think that the shutter should be faster to stop the action or slower to cause the motion to blur substantially for effect (probably just the former though). -- Ram-Man 17:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree that the tree is really distracting. It looks like the shutter speed is ok, it is just focused on the tree instead of the people. I love the girl's hair though. Cacophony 07:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah, there is fringing, but it is 1 pixel width at maximum and not noticable at 100%. Where's the noise? It's not perfectly smooth, but then again, these clouds were not perfectly smooth. Thegreenj 00:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- The sky doesnt look that turbulent to me. The info sound better than the result. --Makro Freak 15:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

- Modifications list adding detail into blue blown areas on male bird, where did the detail come from? Even in this new version the blues are still blown. --Dschwen 07:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- They're definitely not clipping like they did in the old version, I just rechecked, I got the detail from one of the channels (red, if I remember correctly) and brushed it in on the blue areas at a low opacity. --Benjamint444 07:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Question The blue bird appears to have been sitting at an angle of maybe 45 degrees to camera? But the other bird was much more like front on? Regards, Ben Aveling 22:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what the question is but I'll see if I can answer anyway, both shots were taken within minutes of each other so that I was in the same position relative to the birds for both shots and the wire was close enough to being perpendicular to the direction the camera was pointing in. It was exactly the same in both shots. It looks as though the female is facing slightly towards the camera more than the male (what difference does it make apart from compositionaly?) I haven't skewed either of them or rotated them at all, so the angles are all real. :-) --Benjamint444 09:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

- I am sorry for taking ever more to CR, but I am totally split on this one since having seen it for the first time yesterday. The only sharp part is the middle of the "R", and besides that, the photo is blurred. However, the metal gives it a great structure, and makes it really lively. It may not be technically great, but the subject is so compelling...--Florian Prischl 22:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support I don't think the blurring matters, if anything, it moves the focus to the signature itself. Yes, there are imperfections that appear at full zoom, but remember that full zoom on this one is 4368 × 2912. Overall, it looks great. Ben Aveling 22:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

- I don't get what you mean by "ID" - the classification of the fly? Could maybe use a CR. --Florian Prischl 22:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- I feel that an animal image can't be promoted until the species is known Lycaon 22:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- I definitely agree with you. However, I was unsure what you meant by "ID". I was assuming that the uploader indentified the fly correctly. Not being an expert on hoverflies (or a biologist anyway), I did not know. If it is indeed incorrectly classified, I oppose it. --Florian Prischl 22:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
