  • Nomination A vectorized Vietnam seal. -- 09:23, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Oppose Too simple to me for QI --Poco a poco 17:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
    •   Comment Hmm.. these seal scripts follow a certain spacing rule and can only be done by hand. So it easily took me 30+ minutes to make. -- 18:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support I'd allow it. These aren't super-simple characters. -- Ikan Kekek 19:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support As far as I remember Image guidelines there is no such criteria as "simple", and to me it does not look simple to create. --LexKurochkin 06:38, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Info It's more a practice at QIC than an official Guideline, but it has to do with how much one can expect of a Quality Image. For instance, a straight drawn line would be so easy to make that it doesn't really meet the criterion "a Commons user skillfully achieved a desirable level of quality". Exactly where the boundary goes as to what is "too simple" is open to interpretation.--Peulle 11:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Comment Well, yes, and no. If someone uses modern intelligent camera in automatic mode with autofocus lens it is just pressing one button with reasonable (some 10% I would say) chances to get camera jpeg image good enough for QI. Can we say how much skill, how much modern technology and how much luck in it? I just don't know. The only thing I can do is checking the quality of image itself. --LexKurochkin 19:01, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Yes, like I said, it becomes a matter of interpretation. :) --Peulle 09:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Nomination Canada Goose --Fabian Roudra Baroi 23:17, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Support Good quality. --Cr7Carlos 23:35, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Focus is on tail, not head --Charlesjsharp 18:54, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Yes, small DoF, unfortunately--Der Angemeldete 12:59, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

File:Virupaksha_-_Mandapa_Entrance.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination Virupaksha Temple / Hampi, Karnataka - Entrance Hall of Mandapa --Imehling 09:51, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Oppose The figures in the background are blurred. Seems unfixable. --KaiBorgeest 22:05, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
    •   Comment I think they aren't so bad for the resolution of the picture. Let's have a discussion about that. --Imehling 09:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Neutral Very good composition, detailed and useful. But sharpness is borderline. --Augustgeyler 10:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose + blown out people behind the gates on the left. I also like the composition, but there are to many concerns here. Wish it where sharper though.--Der Angemeldete 13:04, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Total: 0 support (excluding the nominator), 2 oppose →   Declined   --Augustgeyler 23:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

File:Stationäres_Fernglas_am_Aussichtspunkt_Auersberg_im_Winter.jpg edit

 

  • Nomination Stationary coin-operated binoculars on the Auersberg at twilight --Augustgeyler 00:01, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Support Good quality. --XRay 04:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I disagree. The foreground spoils the composition. --Milseburg 13:24, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose+1--Peulle 07:46, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Comment Isn't this a mater of taste? I did include the foreground willingly, because this small place with the binoculars was surrounded by a snowy fence. I wanted to show this and give the image a little extra depth by adding a small portion of the unsharp foreground. --August Geyler (talk) 10:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support No problem with the foreground. Very nice colours, good lighting, good sharpness. Such a small flaw in the composition, if it is perceived as a flaw at all, should not be used as the sole reason for rejection. If a picture has other weaknesses, such a thing can of course swing the pendulum to one side or the other. --Smial 11:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Info   new version, with a tighter crop. to reduce the impact of the foreground. --Augustgeyler 14:31, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Comment Sorry, it's not a minor flaw in my eyes. The area is still too dominant, unnecessary and draws attention. The image would look better without it. My suggestion: Remove 350 pixels at the bottom and retouch a bit on the right side of the wood. --Milseburg 16:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • I too am still on the oppose side, sorry. Seeing that out-of-focus snow bank near the camera is almost like a part of a finger covered the lens; it's just distracting rather than giving a compositional framing.--Peulle 11:46, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support Perfectly good photo and an obvious QI to me. I don't understand the opposition. -- Ikan Kekek 19:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support The new crop looks good to me. The foreground fits the bottom naturally without drawing too much attention. --Lion-hearted85 (talk) 01:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support Per Ikan --LexKurochkin 06:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Question With explanations of the photographer I understand the intention, which is indeed not a good sign for a QI, but, if the fence in the foreground would be slightly more visible, I'd be fine with it. Is there more material to add on the bottom from the raw file?--Der Angemeldete 13:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
    • @Der Angemeldete: Not more than the first version has to offer... --Augustgeyler 13:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
      • Too bad, because I don't find it self explaining. But the quality itself is ok to me.--Der Angemeldete 03:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Nomination Palazzo Pubblico - Unusual view from a place in front of the Museum: Galleria d'Arte moderna e contemporanea - San Marino (2022)--Gio Terra 10:10, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •   Oppose Sorry, it lacks detail --Poco a poco 10:43, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. It will be useful for my future choices, because I'm posting here, on Commons, to discern what's good (quality) and what's not. --Terragio67 13:13, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support Good to me. --Sebring12Hrs 10:07, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose With this light, I would have expected better sharpness.--Peulle 09:35, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support Sharpness and detail seem acceptable to me, but what is the line just to the right of the flagpole or whatever it is that's sticking up from the building further back? I suppose it's there; I just want to know. -- Ikan Kekek 19:21, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • It's a feather, a republican symbol of San marino. On the top of the three towers there are three feathers too, as well as on the top of the flagpoles.

  • Thanks for explaining. -- Ikan Kekek 22:03, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Per Peulle. Also the blurring out of the faces isn't very well succeeded. --Der Angemeldete 19:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Yes, Peulle is right, the problem was the light. I was unable to interpret the atmospheric conditions of an exceptionally sunny day without humidity. This resulted in some blurring out and lack of detail (due to overexposure quite noticeable for some).
    Thank you all for your reviews, they have all been convincing in prompting me to rework the original RAW file, where the misinterpretation has been corrected. I am sure that the new version is definitely much better than the previous one. Let me know your opinions, please.

  •   Support That is actually much better.--Peulle 11:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
  Comment I would also change to team Pro, if the faces of the boys somewhat could be blurred more discreet and with no harsh lines around.--Der Angemeldete 03:28, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Promotion
  •   Oppose Could you light up a bit the entrance part? Except this point it is nice--KaiBorgeest 22:27, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
* Procedural oppose entered as the image was sent to CR.--Peulle 09:31, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  •   Support Ok to me. --Sebring12Hrs 10:05, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
