  • Better formulation? I think Alvesgaspar was right, you are somehow disappointed when you discover it´s not a panorama. Any chance of taking one? And as I stated, I´m not decided yet. In general, for me technical issues are all in all less important than the overall feeling of a picture and I might well approve in the end Nikopol (talk) 12:05, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Hey - one of the reasons for doing this is to get feedback and I appreciate it. I will definitely go for a panorama next time I am that way but it won't be for a while yet. As I said I had no intentions of misleading with this but I had to crop the foreground or I would not have supported it :) --Herby talk thyme 12:08, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed because The nomination is useless as the same image, with a different name, is already a FP -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC) Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support.

I am not agreed about the smoke: it covers less than half of the photograph, and it is a part of the point.
I would be interested to hear more about the composition. If I had to formulate criticism myself, I would have said that the background is messy and distracting, but I might not use the term "composition" for this. Rama (talk) 12:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
By 'composition' I meant mostly background. About smoke - it would be fine if it didn't cover the shooter, as he is the main object of this photograph. --Leafnode 12:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

And a cable release, and a camera, that supports full manual control. And everytime, when you close the shutter, you need to be patient again, as the dark frame substraction needs again 60 seconds (same as the real exposure time), before you can take the next shot. And I grant you: Exactly in these 60 seconds at minimum 10 much better flashes will happen. Then you need some chocolate to calm down. And never point the camera to a different direction.

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support This is a great idea, and beautifully executed. Correlations that I wasn't aware of until now can be seen at a glance, e.g. that most African countries have green as the predominant color in their flags. Greenland is formally a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, so it looks OK to me. True, they have their own flag, but so does Alaska which is also shown with the flag of the "parent state". -- JovanCormac 10:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Although I agree that the Greenlandic flag shouln't replace the Danish, Alaska's relation to the United States is to my knowledge no different from that of any of the other 50 states - Greenland, however, is far more autonomous than any other area (possibly except for the Faeroes) under the Danish crown. --Aqwis (talk) 10:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment, I would suggest replacing the Norwegian flag on Svalbard with a uniform red colour. --Aqwis (talk) 10:45, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Although this would certainly make it look a lot better, keep in mind that it could be confused with the red of Denmark/Greenland/Faroe Islands. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
The status of Svalbard is special - not really Norway. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 09:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

The black outlines should not make the ocean a problem. However, if anyone wants to change the ocean to very pale blue (or perhaps very pale grey), someone else will have to do it because the finished file makes my computer lag too much. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
The black outlines aren't enough for my eyes. But I'm an idiot... the sea is transparent in the svg, so I can have whatever background I like - no need for a change. Symbol support vote.svg Support --99of9 (talk) 00:18, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support - Clever idea and quality implementation. PS could you make the Finnish flag slightly smaller, the same size as the Swedish flag. --MattiPaavola (talk) 18:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
The Finnish flag is bigger than the Swedish one because if you look up the proportions, the Finnish cross is much more thicker. The shapes of the countries are also a factor in how they turned out. --Transparent 6lue (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake. After checking the sources, I have to shamely admit that I didn't know my and my neighbor's flags. :-) Thanks for the explanation. --MattiPaavola (talk) 23:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose - the map is inconsistent. It shows Alaska and Greenland the same way, it shows Kosovo but doesn't show Palestine, flag proportions are strictly kept for Finland and Greece but not for Japan and South Korea, no clear criteria over which island nations were included and why etc. So even though the idea is fine there is still a lot of work to do.--Avala (talk) 12:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean by Alaska and Greenland being "the same way", but I'll answer the other points. I have updated the map to reflect a new criteria, which is the UN member countries plus the Republic of China. As for the proportions, I decided that the designs where the field was distinctly divided into several areas should be kept as close to the original as possible. On the other hand, I decided that the symbol-on-a-background designs could be resized if it would help recognisability. I have added all islands now.

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose It really is much too noisy, consider using lower ISO than 1600. I suppose you used a tripod, why didn´t you take ISO 100 and a long exposure time? Nikopol (talk) 23:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
I guess, you've never taken a picture of a meteor.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I didn´t realise the meteor is the important thing, must have somehow skipped this part of the explanation. But IMO the capture of the meteor does not quite make up for that amount of noise. Nikopol (talk) 23:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Nikopol, just check the date when this photograph was taken: 22 October 2007. As you can check out from this table, Mbz1 apparently planned this photograph carefully by journeying to the Death valley exactly when an Orionid shower was to be expected and where, given the extremely dry air and the absence of artificial light, you get fine conditions for photographing the night sky. Given the speed of the meteors, the selection of ISO 1600 (at an exposure time of 8s) sounds quite sensible to me. --AFBorchert (talk) 00:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
When I was taking the images I was mostly thinking about capturing as many meteors as possible even very faint ones because the images are used for recerch. I used fisheye in order to capture as much sky as possible. The lens aperture is 3.5. To capture faint meteors with such a lens and such an aperture I should have used ISO 1600. I did not care about noise. My bad, how I forgot about FPC SmileThat's OK I should have learned a long time ago never to nominate for FPC something that is special to me :)--Mbz1 (talk) 00:47, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Wall of the former US-embassy in Tehran
  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info: all by Nikopol -- Nikopol (talk) 01:56, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
  • As we recently had some propaganda nominated: After the Iranian hostage crisis (1979-1981), the walls of the former US embassy were covered in today infamous anti-US(anti-israeli)-murals. In our guide, the authors wrote about having some problems after taking pictures of the embassy walls, although at other times that didn´t seem to be the case. While I didn´t want to spend much time there, afraid of getting my camera confiscated, I still managed to take some nice pics of the murals. (Here is a shot of the whole scene: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/2614920613_defbcf6237.jpg)

  • In my opinion taggers are insane. If I'm right that this is just a tagger, then to be true to the original work it would be better to restore it (documented of course), but I understand your hesitation (hence my support either way). --99of9 (talk) 22:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Before uploading my images, I asked at the help desk whether I could, and noone could really tell me how the legal situation is, since there is little factual information available. However, despite my research, I found no evidence that there is no freeedom of panorama in Iran (there is rather a lack of entries regarding Iran). If you are looking for a practical indicator: take a look at the category Iran: If there actually was no freedom of panorama, one third of the photots of Iran we have at commons would be illegal. But regarning these files, noone suggested deletion. I don´t see why my picture should be treated differently. It certainly would be important to find answers considering the legal questions, but I think this is not the right forum to do so. Nikopol (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
  • If Iranian copyright law does not say anything about FOP exemptions, there is no freedom of panorama in Iran. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 12:57, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Since not only my picture, but a huge part of our stock of pictures from Iran would be concerned in this case, I advocate discussing the legal status of pictures from Iran in an appropriate forum. As we have such a huge amount of images which have not been marked for deletion, perhaps the legal situation is not that clear. I know close to nothing about iranian copyright law, but I oppose to my picture beeing treated differently for whatever reason. Nikopol (talk) 15:53, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info: created by Herbythyme - uploaded by Herbythyme - nominated by Herbythyme -- Herby talk thyme 17:32, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info: This images shows the village of Kingswear which lies opposite the town of Dartmouth across the river Dart. The lowest bridging point on the Dart is some way upstream and without the ferries (on is shown in the image) between Dartmouth and Kingswear there would be a journey of at least thirty minutes to get from one side to the other. Both places have considerable historic interest going back over 1000 years. Both also have castles which were used to defend the river (one can be seen and there is a pointer to the location of the other one). The Pilgrim Fathers put in to Dartmouth before setting sail in 1620. This is a stitched image made up from three individual images.

IMO this is a well-made photo of "a rural dirt road after a bout of snowfall", but lacking a bit on the “wow factor” a FP should have. Nikopol (talk) 17:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Weak oppose for 2 reasons: First, the side-by-side placement gives the impression that this is a stereogram (which is not the case, therefore one-above-the-other placement would be less confusing); second, I don't see why a scantily-clad anime figure is used here rather than a "blank" human shape (or even an animal). -- JovanCormac 12:08, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
    • I know a Commons' user who'd say: objectification of women :) Indeed, if the images are places one above the other, I'll be happy to support. As for the figure used, I don't really care. Wolf (talk) 12:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
      • I wouldn't go so far as to say that this image objectifies women. But the fact is that the "model" seems oddly out of place in an animation designed to illustrate a technical concept. -- JovanCormac 09:38, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed because Resolution is too low.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC) Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
