Oppose composition -- Gorgo 13:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment no the bird didn't crash into the tree :-P. Original image was 2576 x 1932 px at 4.98mpx with 24bits/px. It was taken with 16.7million colours of which 209733 were used. This is an exact extract of 1200x1000 px using a program called Infraview the process doesnt alter or affect the resolution. When you view the image on the image page what you are viewing is the high resolution version and not a compressed thumbnail. What you are viewing is a 1/3rd compression of the high resolution image as opposed to 1/9th compression of a high resolution with the other thumbnails Gnangarra 16:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Original nomination here.
I'm nominating this for unfeaturing because it's just the original version of Image:Morocco Africa Flickr Rosino December 2005 84514010 edited by Buchling.jpg, which was rotated to make the horizon horizontal. It's silly to have two featured pictures of exactly the same thing. Note that this one is not actually listed on Commons:Featured pictures; the edited one is. User:dbenbenn 18:06, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I assert that whole notion of allowing "secondary" images, and the voting thereon is unclear, and leads to exactly this sort of confusion. I think we need one image, one nomination, one series of votes.

Info created, uploaded and nominated by Roger McLassus -- 06:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I hesitated for two months before nominating this picture because of the suboptimal lighting, which I was unable to avoid with my limited technical equipment. But finally I have made up my mind for nomination and Support because such a backjet is very difficult to catch. Roger McLassus 06:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- My english is bad but I hope everybody will understand me(:-|)... Ok, it's a good photo, but... how many photos of drop impacts must be included in WikiCommons and featured (I personnally prefer Image:2006-01-28 Drop-impact.jpg and Image:2006-02-13 Drop-impact.jpg)? Is it a competition for the one who will have the greatest number of photos featured? What's the interest for WikiCommons? I believe that people should think more about the cost of the memory space for the Wikimedia foundation... El Comandante 13:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The backjet shown in this picture is a characteristic hydrodynamic phenomenon and cannot be found in any other picture in the commons yet. Backjets are normally invisible since they last too short a time for the human eye. So the scientific and encyclopedic value of such a photo is considerable. Roger McLassus 15:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a note, the developers have repeatedly flagged that "running out of space" is not an issue. So I personally do not accept this argument as valid, especially when en.wp allows an increasing variety of cruft articles, from pokemon-cruft to porn-cruft to whatever... Very likely we don't need any more pictures of certain subjects (sunsets!), but it doesn't seem to be in the wiki spirit to restrict people from adding them. pfctdayelise (translate?) 02:15, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I really like this picture. Not only does it clearly illustrate the bear, but also the capabilities of the Canon EOS Rebel! Great job! The focus, for example is just perfect, where the viewer only focuses on the grizzly bear itself yet is also able to look at its general natural environment.

- Comment -- what resolution is required for a picture taken 24 years ago ?? Gnangarra 09:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment yes, what EXACT resolutions are required. I need to know cause I want to nominate a bunch of my pics, but need to upload bigger versions. HOW big? and do they have to be bigger for featured pic status or just to satisfy the voters here. Mozasaur 01:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment When it, as in this case, comes to photos that is originally analog but digitized afterwards, I think one threshold one has to surpass is the one where an even higher resolution would contribute only a negliable amount of extra information to the result. That is, push it to the point where the quality of the original photo is the bottleneck and the image looks blurry (as a result of the limitations of the camera) when viewed at full resolution. That way you know you haven't destroyed anything. Such images are of course just a special case. In general, I am personally not very fond of images that is anywhere near fitting on any of my screens. My own little camera grabs in 2272×1704, which, to me, definitely is a lower limit for when the image becomes enjoyable without that claustrophobic touch. ;-) As a recommendation to you, I'd say give us what you've got! Don't downsample at all. Bromskloss 13:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It already takes nearly the full browser window at maximum resolution, and it will be difficult to find high resolution images from public US army archives ; it has great colors, and is well centered on the subject) ; this image really changes from the usual country landscapes, mountains, lakes, sun falls.

Oppose a great POV-ray rendering for glasses, bottles and the ice cube, with nice specular light effects and focus effects on the background and surrounding foreground mimicing the behavior of camera lenses, but still, it is not realistic: the glasses are much too clean and don't seem to have contained more than the residual liquid (no liquid drops on the surface, no presence of dust, no traces of lips of fingers for glasses that are supposed to have contained liquid and then drunk; artistically it is interesting, but dices seem to be out of the subject and rendered in a strange way, with different lighting, as if they were added on the image after actual rendering; if you remove the added game dices, the subject does not fit well with the scene; the transparency of dices is also badly controled) Verdy p 03:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is probably legal (at least as fair use), but since it's showing a wikimedia icons, it's not free per default, and thus a violation of commons policy. Ask the Wikimedia Foundation to allow you to publish this image under GFDL/CC-by-sa/whatever - they'll very likely have no problem with that. Wikimedia logos are not "free", so the logos are protected against abuse. Such abuse seems very unlikely for a picture like this one. -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 17:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot see it as fair use. Pleas check Wikipedia:Fair use. what I can see is an image of monitor colored pixels, cropped from an image of a screen shot of wikimedia website, used to illustrate monitor colored pixels. This is not fair use. Plus, Fair Use is not free. --Tarawneh 22:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- okay. first of all: a vote against your picture does NOT mean it is not good or special or valuable. it just means that it is not as good as some other shots posted here that are trying to be featured. so even though it might not have the attributes for a featured pic, it will still be your best shot. and the level of quality here is quite high. second of all: who knows what for a fact? I think there is no single PERFECT picture everybody is striving to post. and there is no person voting here that has a universal knowledge. everybody just states what they think - sometimes that may be very obvious like poorest quality - and that may mean you get good votes from some people and bad ones from others. in short: you will never please everyone on here. so now I have some good news, the image quality is okay and the size is good! yet I also got bad news: FOR MY TASTE, the image is too bland. and also the grass in the background is dissonant. -- Boereck 19:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The dog is nice, the colors are nice, the picture is sharp, resolution is sufficient BUT, to become a featured picture, a picture needs more than that. It needs to be "special", and this is not special for me. Here, I think the composition is the problem : it's boring. Try focusing on the dog, try to get near, try to be more creative, and perhaps you'll get your picture featured. -- Fabien1309 19:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
