The word "crop" can also mean "framing" in photography terms. No actual cutting of the image needs to have been made. It simply refers to the way the photographer has selected the scene. Since you are new here (like you wrote on another nom), there might be photo terms that are unfamiliar to you. You find most of them at COM:PT. --Cart (talk) 19:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons is just an archive for photos; very few photos are "used" here. The photos kept here are used in Wikipedias all over the world, as well as all the Wiki sister projects, schools, museums, organisations, and thousands of others that get their photos from Commons. Commons is like a "stock photo site" where images can be used for free if you credit the photographer. --Cart (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The gallery link is ok. There are no 'Natural' FPs from Moscow Oblast yet, so that section doesn't exist yet. In such cases it's a toss-up between omitting the section in the nom, or to add it with a note that this would be the first FP for that section; styles of doing this vary and none particular is preferred. --Cart (talk) 17:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, by all means there is "Central Federal District" section, and second, it's at least controversial whether Places/Natural is here the best choice at all. --A.Savin 00:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks for clarifying the location, you obviously know more about Russian geography than me or the nominator do. It is more helpful when someone who knows an area steps in say what the right section should be, instead of just saying that things are wrong. --Cart (talk) 14:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Purple martin in flight
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured_pictures/Animals/Birds/Passeriformes#Family_:_Hirundinidae_(Swallows)
  •  Info Purple martin in flight, slowing down as it approaches its nest. Spent a long time try to get a sharp photo of these very fast birds -- I was happy with this one.
    Note: I tried something with the sky that I haven't attempted before, pulling a cloud from another shot taken at the same place at the same time from roughly the same direction. I don't know if that's too much retouching for FPC, but erring on the side of disclosure (it didn't affect the bird itself -- just improved the background a little). all by — Rhododendrites talk23:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support as per Julesvernex2. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It is mentioned but that doesn't make it acceptable. We can't go around replacing backgrounds. Where would that stop? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why can't we? Restricting FP to the rules of photojournalism and photo contests would leave out a bunch of interesting candidates. Julesvernex2 (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • You have never manipulated a background (or a foreground)? All of the out-of-focus twigs, distracting leaves, bird/bug-specks in the background, etc. that you've photographed -- you've never removed them? Pay no mind to extraordinary feats of AI-enabled sharpening, AI-based denoising, selective tone adjustments, and all other manner of post-processing, but add a cloud (a cloud in the sky at that place and at that time, even) and all of a sudden I've crossed a bright line? I'm not saying it shouldn't matter -- I know it'll go against some people's sensibilities, which is why I highlighted it in the nomination statement, and anyone is free to oppose if they wish -- but this Arbiter of What's Acceptable stuff is too much. — Rhododendrites talk21:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Technically, any panorama which includes sky and clouds will have several spots in the sky where parts are from other neighboring photos, so in fact replaced and often tweaked/reshaped by the processing program to look nice. I can guarantee that the sky never looked exactly like in this image, because it is a product of the program that stitched the panorama. We accept that without question because they are declared as panoramas and we know they are "manipulated". As long as the alteration is openly declared in a very clear manner (which has been made here), I see no problem with entering such photos here at FPC. It's just a matter of classification, and in each case votes can decide how much they are willing to tolerate in an FPC. Ideally it would be great if the original was found in the file's upload history so that we can see each step, I think that would help people decide how they are going to vote. In this case, I suspect there is no great difference. --Cart (talk) 22:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • For good measure, I've uploaded the version before the sky adjustment and reverted. Note that the uploaded file is also before another pass at tone adjustments/white balancing so it looks slightly different in other [more mundane] ways. — Rhododendrites talk22:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        It is indeed a small but surprisingly effective change! A small nitpick: those beautiful steel blue feathers above the eyes got quite a bit duller after the tonal adjustments. Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- WildMouse76 (talk) 22:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree with Charles that heavy-handed manipulations (like sky replacements) applied to images which will be used in a context where the audience can expect a realistic depiction of the subject shouldn't be featured here. As image manipulations seem to come up more often these days, there might be a need for a more in-depth discussion about what's ok and what's not. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • A discussion has been opened on the FPC talk page. --Cart (talk) 12:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "heavy-handed manipulation" didn't change the subject at all, so if the point is to ensure a photo of a martin looks like a martin that's irrelevant here. If it's to ensure a martin could be seen in front of a realistic background, the fact that it's the same sky from the same place/time would seem pretty realistic. So what's left is an arbitrary line whereby using AI to manipulate an image's noise/sharpness, stitching images, using content-aware fill, outright removing pieces like disturbing plants and smears, etc. is acceptable and this is not. I would feel less strongly about this if people just said "it offends my photographer's sensibilities in ways that a wide range of other manipulations and 'unrealities' do not" rather than act as though this is unrealistic but the rest of what we see at FPC is completely realistic. — Rhododendrites talk13:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I'm fairly new to this but I think the concerns about the background are overblown. It's a great photo and probably took a lot of patience and effort to make. Toadspike (talk) 16:32, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Hi TOUMOU, I see that Rhododendrites has helped you with the categories and fixing the description, thanks for that. Documentation of the photo is just as important for FPC as a good image, so take a look at the changes that have been made on the file page. Good information on the file page will always improve your chances of getting a photo promoted to FP, since info makes it more valuable to the Wiki project. Therefore, would you please add the location to the photo too. If you don't know it, please ask the photographer Skander zarrad. I have fixed the gallery link for you. You need to specify both the right page and the section. When you nominate an image here, you become sort of a "temporary caretaker" of that photo, and it's up to you to make sure everything is fixed and correct. Best, --Cart (talk) 10:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice photo! Are you sure he is a tanner or has there been a simple mix-up in the translation? A tanner is someone who process the raw hides into leather, a very hazardous and revolting job. After that the leather goes to a currier who dyes and prepare the leather before it can be made into different things by a leather worker. Traditionally, such craftsmen are called "saddlers" even if they make other things from leather than saddles. Perhaps he performs all three professions and we only see one of them (leather working) here in the photo. Love the cat! :-) --Cart (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about profession depicted
  •  Comment Hi IssamBarhoumi, what a great photo! However, what he is doing is a bit mislabeled. What he is doing is not engraving, but it is very common for people outside the handicraft trade to know the difference. ;-) Engraving is when you cut away material to make patterns (no hammer involved for engraving metals). What he is doing is called chasing, part of the repoussé and chasing techniques used by copper, silver and goldsmiths. Chasing is when you hammer in a pattern into the material, and repoussé is when you hammer out patterns from the backside of the material. I have fixed up the description and the categories for you, but would you mind if the file was renamed too so that is showed the right profession. I'm so happy that we finally have a really good photo for the wiki articles and chasers on Wikidata. Coppersmiths often use many different techniques to make the patterns on their work, and the right terminology for all of them is not easy. Best, --Cart (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The place is some 180 km from Juba, the capital town, it is definitely not a city like London or Tokyo, but it is a town of 490 000+ population, it has airport, banks, schools and university, telecommunication company, TV and shops of electronics, churches of several confessions, etc. There is a school and a clinic in Kimotong. So, I do not think that they are so innocent to not understand the consequences of photography. And I agree that the photo has documentary value and encyclopedic value.

Excuse me, but do you believe to know better than me where I was? it was not in the city of Kimotong, but a remote village in the province. And that's precisely why we went there. It was not a photo tour behind a mall in Juba. There is no shops, no current, no telecom, no transport or something like that in the area. The closest water well could be 1 hour away by foot. Telling this wiöl surely make no difference and people will believe whatever they want, but whatsoever. Poco a poco (talk) 07:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not pretend to know the place better than you, as I said clearly, I just used Google and Wkipedia. I tryed to understand. And, actually, you told us your vision of the place only in this particular post. LexKurochkin (talk) 08:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think, yes, considering my other comment. Actually, there are not too many places of that grade of innocence nowadays. May be somewhere deep in jungle, but not only 180 km from their capital. LexKurochkin (talk) 07:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
180 km without any transport means (or public transport options) and with no asphalt roads (a 4x4 is required) is not what you may think of (definitely not a 1 and a half hours smooth drive). In fact, wit a 4x4 we couldn't drive often faster than 30 km/h Poco a poco (talk) 07:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are of course different degrees of innocense, but i seriously doubt that she is aware of how people with a scarification fetish will use this photo. --Cart (talk) 14:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To oppose on the grounds that the person depicted is 'innocent' is patronising. Seems a high quality, respectful, documentary image to me. Part of a very valuable and impressive set of images from Poco. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:20, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very true! Unfortunately, this is an old problem on FPC. Too many voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically, will think that all photos should have the same quality as a well-lit, stacked church façade or a studio photo. --Cart (talk) 20:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's statement comes across as passive-aggressive. If I understand correctly, you are directly placing me in the category of "voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically". That's fine, do you; there's a legitimate reason why I don't post my pictures here, but that doesn't make me any less inadequate. I have no problem with the other responses here, except Cart's. Keep in mind that this is not the first time it has occurred; see here. Wolverine XI 07:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There can be no argument on the settings used. But the criticism in the context of FPC is valid. It is difficult to take an FP-standard image in low light. I would be more than happy to support this level of technical quality if the bird was rare. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The author can't help it, but I can't get used to the scaffolding in a prominent place.--Milseburg (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Are you sure it ruins the photo? 15:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't say ruin. But the scaffolding is too disturbing for an FP. The conditions for an outstanding image of this building were not present at that time. The rising sun is nice to have, but for a FP of this ensemble of buildings, I would forgo it and prefer if important parts of the building are not covered by elements that wouldn't normally belong. BTW, the crop is a bit tight, isn't it? --Milseburg (talk) 16:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Just a comment (no critic of your vote!). I completely understand the dislike for the scaffolding. Personally I have learned to resign myself with it especially in photographs of very prominent buildings. I have visited Florence, Siena, and Pisa (to mention just the most famous Cathedral towns of Tuscany) each several times, but AFAICR never seen any of the famous cathedrals without scaffolding – when the restoration work was finished at one part, the next part was scaffolded to carry on with the work. The same applies to all major French cathedrals I know. Therefore I am rather happy with photos like this one because it offers at least an almost clean foreground (almost no cars, people, stands/kiosks – all these nasty things which often ruin photos of such buildings). – Aristeas (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)  Comment Cologne Cathedral always has scaffolding somewhere. But if a prominent part, like one of the towers, was scaffolded, no FP would be possible at that time. Taking an FP is difficult, it is not possible under every condition. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Everest during sunset
 Oppose Outstanding scene. But the sharpness doesn't convince me and the elaboration seems too dark to me. IMHO there is also to much empty sky. Overall not perfect enough for a FP. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Milseburg I wouldn't say the scene is too dark. Again, noticable details. However, assuming by the colors on the very top, it is somewhere between nautical and astronomical twilight due to the redness. I've browsed through some categories of mountains during sunset, and the ones that had significant light had a more yellow shade, while this one is more red. The sky could probably be cropped a bit, but the sky is an important feature of this image. WildMouse76 (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frank Schulenburg, technically, it's the same effect that you have at the Horsetail Fall (Yosemite) (nearer where you live). With the sun at the right angle and normal conditions at sunset, the red light will prevail and strike the surfaces that can be reached by the light. The red light is not that uncommon, but it gets so striking when isolated to a few patches by the shadows of surrounding mountains. --Cart (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
