Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Puik,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

hello! could you please add the template with the license of the photo? --アンタナナ 19:49, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

and also please tell me who is the author of the picture? it seems that you are in it, then somebody else was supposed to click the button on a camera --アンタナナ 19:52, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Licence template now added. It was missing because of the upload error (due to slow connection I got old form etc).

It is very interesting that you brought up the authorship issue here. Authorship of a photograph is not only dependant on who presses the shutter release button, photographs can also be collective creation, as the creation of a picture takes different kind of organization and has many decisions connected to it: who selects the location, the direction of the view, puts the persons on a right spot etc. In the case of the mentioned photograph I used the camera's self timer and there was no other person engaged in the making of this photograph, but even if I had handed the camera over to somebody else I do not think that the picture would have been the sole creation of the picture taker.

the discussion about who owns copyright is an interesting one, no doubts :) but here, on Commons, you'll need stronger arguments than that. if you are willing to start the discussion, I can create one on Village pump --アンタナナ 20:00, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

What do you mean with 'stronger arguments than that'? I guess it must have been discussed here on Commons already over and over again (the monkey selfie case for instance), I am just about to start to use Commons and get to know it, so first you could point me to some relevant previous discussions, but if the prevailing understanding of photographic authorship really is mostly dominated by the question who pressed the button, then I would definitely want to start a new discussion, but lets not start that in the coming days (I know I am not able to follow and contribute enough).
