Info Tower bridge at dawn. It's been downsampled, and metadata is sparse, but we've passed another of his images under the same conditions.

Comment The image is wowing and the composition, as well. But it is not convincing from the technical point of view: the image is pretty small (it looks downsized) and the highlights in the reflection look awkward (specially the long curved cable, I added a note). Btw, in the EXIF data George made this statement: "This image is copyright of George Johnson Photography and may not be edited, used or distributed without the express permission of George Johnson Photography.". Are you aware that the license you publish your image with is incompatible with that? Everybody can modify that image and distribute it without your permission per CC-BY-SA as long as they use the same license and credit the work to you. 12:38, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since it appears that George uploaded the picture himself, the CC-By-SA notice already counts as "express permission" for everyone so it looks fine to me. He still holds copyright after all. dllu (t,c) 17:38, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Image is pretty downsampled and I'm not a huge fan of how the rocks near the riverbank on the right are treated. Also, while the colours are pretty, the tone mapping looks a little odd and may have caused some strange halos or colour bleeding. For example, the left tower's roof is bleeding green into the sky. dllu (t,c) 17:38, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant oppose per dllu. The lack of .EXIF data that might tell us how long this was exposed for, among other things, isn't helpful. I also am bothered by the crop on the bottom as well as the one on the right. Daniel Case (talk) 21:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Mile no disrespect meant with this image. In fact, it is a very light interpretation of a social reality. Beggars, begging, poverty, exploitation by themselves are a subject for social, sociological, political, economic, etc., studies. This image illustrates thaose issues, maybe... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:06, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Tomascastelazo what might be black-white for some for other can be white-black, so get your position. For me this should would be hard-for my mind. I suppose person would not like to be photographed, even if person affirmed shoting. Photographers bacame more predators, thats why i am affraid to go to shot my kindergarten. Too often we dont think on person which we shot at and how hard can it be. @Peulle: you gave us comparasion with migrating mother, for me more portrait shot (not begging). This citations tell all: "...the family wasn’t happy about the Migrant Mother photograph: “We were ashamed of it. We didn’t want no one to know who we were.” and "When the picture was taken, she claimed that Lange assured her the picture would never be published. She also said that Lange promised to send her a copy and she never did." Even more, they pumped up that story like CNN and FOX News does. One photographer said “To photograph it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.” You gave one comparison, but i think this is more comparable. Hunting for the prize left many dead, not just for Pulitzer, even for "Like" on social media. You know...Mikey LIKES it! --Mile (talk) 14:36, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mile: I recommend reading the rest of the article too; as you can see, the ending goes: "Florence Owens Thompson suffered a stroke in August of 1983. Her family couldn’t afford the medical treatment, so they took advantage of their mother’s status as the Migrant Mother. They raised over $25,000 (about $58,000 today) for her medical care through donations from the American public. That experience changed the family’s opinion of the photograph as they realized how many people their mother’s picture touched.".--Peulle (talk) 18:29, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I read it all, didnt skip it. --Mile (talk) 08:18, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think that as photographers we should document what is happening all around us in our society, not just pretty buildings, preferably as respectfully as possible. Looking back at history, we will always need photographs, however horrible, since they will make us understand things better than any text can do. Even so, photographers have often been used as scapegoats for people's frustration and anger over a situation they feel they can't handle. I spoke with some ambulance personnel not long ago. They told me that when they arrive at an accident, people are hurt, afraid, irrational and they need someone to lash out at. Since there are no others at the scene of the accident, they direct their anger and frustration at the police and ambulance personnel. So the ambulance guys are always grateful when the photographers arrive, since people turn on them instead and let the ambulance crew work in peace. There are many more strong, famous photos where people have blamed the photographer who documented it, instead of those responsible for the situation in the photo. It is a modern version of "shooting the messenger". --cart-Talk 17:06, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, I can say many things about this image, but my main argument is that of documenting a social reality, even though the issue may not be pretty. In this particular image, it is pretty sterile, for it really lacks the drama that the subject matter can elicit. I tried to illustrate the phenomena in a very clean, abstract manner. These beggars #REDIRECT [[1]], in my opinion, are doing a job, for they do it in a very systematic way. I try not to judge them on the personal level, but it also seems to me that they choose to do this over other activities that could earn them money. Why do I say that? Well, I´ve seen them in many places, and I can see when they beg out of necessity and when they beg as a job. There is a huge difference. But regardless of the motivation or conditions, begging is begging, and beggars use public spaces to do their thing, and as such, they are fair game photographically for documenting purposes, for they are the expression of a social condition that needs management, and photography is a tool to do just that. As an observer of social phenomena and as a photographer I document this with a cold mind and cold heart, not judging, just showing what is. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:09, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose With the hidden face this does not really affect me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 10:20, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Categories fixed. As for the objection by Mile, I don't understand why this image should show a lack of dignity or decency seeing as the face does not show. Furthermore, the subject should not be avoided for sensitivity's sake: poverty is a huge problem that seems only to grow, and Commons' role is to document such facts. Photographers must strive to find the balance between documenting people's desperate situations while not serving to actively ridicule them. If you would like to read about a more famous example, I recommend this article about the iconic image Migrant Mother.

For me personally, however, this specific image is not particularly moving. The distance to the subject is too close not to show the personal features, IMO; it's an image that I think should show the facial features of the person in question. I

Oppose for this reason.--Peulle (talk) 10:34, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Interesting scene, well captured. Camera lens tests would be improved if they photographed this scene rather than some boring test chart. "The hypertension pills are extremely sharp, the anti-fungals are acceptable, but the anti-histamines are soft, and the lens needs stopping down to bring them up to acceptable levels.". Actually, I'm impressed the corners are reasonable sharp given you shot this at f/1.8. I think you could have stopped down a bit and used a slower shutter -- the boxes aren't going anywhere! -- Colin (talk) 07:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It would certainly be funny to see camera lens reviewers set up tripods in the pharmacy aisle. However it won't be a great test for lens sharpness since you can't test at infinity distance and it's hard to evaluate chromatic aberration correction with fluorescent lights that have a highly uneven spectrum. dllu (t,c) 17:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review @Colin: . I requested permission to use a tripod, however this was not accepted. This was a small and very busy pharmacy. I take 42 photographs with my technique of shooting without breathing. It was the main shelf and there were a lot of people so I had to stay there until people got out of the way. This type of ridiculously monotonous simple and excessively ordered photos is the classic example of my favorite FP style. I think that in many users here we are compulsively ordered and we focus on collecting things to fill our social gaps, this kind of apparently harmless but exaggerated order. --The Photographer 23:30, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I don't think a tripod was needed here. According to the EXIF, you shot at 1/250s at 35mm (equivalent to 50mm on full frame). So two stops down would be f/3.5 which you could have hand-held (especially if taking several shots to be sure) at 1/60s. I like your ordered photos, and it is not easy to get such a scene exactly straight hand-held. I'm finding the new "guided adjustment" tool in Lightroom to be very helpful and faster than manually moving the sliders and judging by eye. Btw, dllu, most test charts don't test anywhere near infinity, which is a problem for all but a portrait lens. The folk at Lens Rentals test at infinity, and always wide open, which I think is a bit daft -- it over emphasises the problems between lenses (which is why they do it in their repair shop) but doesn't really tell you how the lens performs at normal apertures, and testing a macro lens at infinity is just silly. There's no perfect system, but a retail test chart could be more fun! -- Colin (talk) 08:05, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, I think that Coca Cola thinks it is ok to produce and promote a product that has caused a huge health crisis in the world. There is large evidence of that and the problem has been studied and published widely, this being just one example of many #REDIRECT[[2]]. This is all done of course in the name of free enterprise and corporate profits. This is a proven public health problem, and I wonder why governments are not as action prone as they are with other drugs that science has shown to be relatively harmless. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:55, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, but this image will not become FP and IMO not QI too. The resolution is very small, it's too bright, needs perspective correction, is oversharpened and details missing. EXIF data is missing and it looks like a snapshot made with a smartphone.

Completely healthy. These are likely common warts - definitely not ticks - and will probably fall off as the animal matures. Charles (talk) 11:35, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When I was a child, I used to spend my free time removing the ticks of goats, dogs, and various animals that were in the yard of my house. Some ticks that were too big or too attached to the skin exploded and it was common for the animal to end up bathed in blood. The surface of the tick has a particular greyish gray color, and they can remain alive for a long time hidden until a new animal comes close. Some ticks grow like clusters of fruit in numbers of hundreds impossible to kill. In this case I would have sworn that they were ticks because of their appearance, thanks for the clarification. --The Photographer 18:59, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Charles.

I'm not sure what to call it; the birds don't look real. There's definitely something off about this; the detail is washed out.--Peulle (talk) 16:06, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There seems to be a lot of sharpening and denoising, which has produced some artifacts. I wonder if the Olympus sensor shift thing has also introduced some artifacts. dllu (t,c) 00:56, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Of course. Excellent composition and good overall quality. The pixelpeeping is getting really ridiculous here. Guys, please look at the picture, not at the pixels! --Code (talk) 05:48, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's worth at least noting pixel-level issues so that the author is aware of them. I agree that pixel peeping is an unhelpful standard off which to base a vote though -- Thennicke (talk) 10:16, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So you guys not only support the photo but also think it's illegitimate to compare this to the supremely detailed, fantastic interiors that we've advanced to FP and find it not outstanding enough for FP on that basis? And even though it looks like this photo is set to be voted in as an FP with only a couple of opposing votes, that's terrible? Of course the composition is good and the picture is a very good effort; these things are not in question. But I think it's legitimate for me to find the lack of clarity in the details, especially in the foreground, disappointing, relative to existing FPs of interiors that are truly magnificent. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:42, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course there are always better pictures. We can't expect every interior to be stitched. There are few contributors who are able to create Diliff-style pictures, most of our fellow contributors here are not able to. We shouldn't compare every interior with those of Diliff or others. This picture here is still among our finest. --Code (talk) 13:45, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan, my vote is based off the fact that I find the image beautiful. The quality could be better but this image still looks nice at fullscreen on my 2K monitor, so I am not bothered too much by the pixel-level issues - though they do come into my consideration -- Thennicke (talk) 03:48, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and don't contest your reasoning. That wasn't the import of my comment above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:59, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing to consider is that unlike a QI, this can be replaced if a better version appears.--Peulle (talk) 14:29, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, but it tends to happen very sparingly, and only when it's very obvious. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:59, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Yes, it's a sunset. A sunset is (nearly) always beautiful. But not every photograph of a sunset is beautiful. This photograph shows the setting sun behind the hill of Akrotiri in Santorini. The hill and the silhouette are particularly emphasized. --XRay ^talk 04:56, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I like it, but I'd prefer if you cropped out more than half of the sky. I think that would produce a more satisfying form. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your good idea. I've seen the possible improvment some days agoo. But if I crop this image the way you proposed, the resolution would be too small. I should visit Santorini again ... --XRay ^talk 08:34, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You should if you can. I've been enjoying a lot of your photos from there. I haven't decided which of the pictures of bells with long shadows is the best, but one of those might be an FP. They remind me somewhat of De Chirico. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:37, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regretful oppose I like the idea and usually take similar shots myself, but the reflection itself seems a bit too random for me. Sorry. --cart-Talk 14:54, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Thank you for your comment. It was the only pond and the only reflection in the area. More choice I did not have.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:20, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, it's hard to find a pond exactly where you would get a nice reflection, such as a centered single tree, a bench, a telephone pole, a single cloud or something like that for a wow-factor. We should both keep looking. --cart-Talk 16:42, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info The rooftop of Old Billingsgate Market. This was formerly the Billingsgate Fish Market, hence the fish details on the roof. The golden sunset lighting is also being enjoyed by some photographers on the roof of the neighbouring Northern & Shell building.

Oppose This picture is obviously made with a fairly simple camera (smartphone perhaps) - no EXIF data is provided. It's missing a focal plane, the colours look to me like the picture has been manipulated or else it's been the smartphone's software. The crop is the result of the attempt to get something out of an otherwise uninteresting photo (sorry for being so direct, but I do know this from my own early photo attempts). Also, the description tells us "Bodental Märchenwiese" but the meadow is not in the picture at all. --Prozentzwanzig (talk) 11:23, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The "Romance Meadow" is quite at the bottom, but the entire ambience (forest, mountains, etc.) belongs to the "Romance Meadow". Anyway, I took the photo from the "Romance Meadow". -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem, Prozentzwanzig, the EXIF data shows that this is taken with a Nikon D810 so I guess that rules out your smartphone theory. Are you sure you are viewing this on a good screen and that your settings for Commons are correct? --cart-Talk 14:31, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment You are right. It became that narrow after editing the image. Unfortunately I did not have a wider angle available than 24mm. Otherwise the photo would have been wider. But I wanted to capture the entire cloud. It just worked, although I had to crop lots left and right. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:43, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion this is an insignificant flaw :) JukoFF (talk) 15:45, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - What makes this a cultural monument? To my eyes as a New Yorker, it looks like a nondescript 1960s/70s residential (or it looks like, in this case, office) building. It looks like there's a halo on the electric wire that extends from this building to the one to the right of it. This is a good QI, but there's nothing in this picture that makes me go "Wow!" -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:58, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The building was built in the 1920s. :) This is a lively representative of the style of Soviet constructivism. JukoFF (talk) 22:25, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: To be fair, I have to say that it's a famous building by a very famous architect. It's featurable in itself, when there weren't all the stitching issues. Perhaps it's not a good idea to make a stitched image of it. Pixelpeeping? My opinion: better less megapixels, but accurate. --A.Savin 01:26, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. Maybe this is a style that just doesn't appeal to me, but almost any building could be featurable if the photo is good enough. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:23, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Ceiling in the Collector's Office in the former U.S. Custom House in Manhattan. I was taken by this ceiling, designed by Tiffany Studios and incorporating some seaport/nautical themes, the first time I visited during Open House New York (an annual open-doors weekend/public architecture event). At the time, I had only a smartphone camera. This year, I went back determined to get a better shot. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:34, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm afraid I agree - I don't even see how this one got past QIC.--Peulle (talk) 09:45, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- What's the issue? Focus? F/5.6 was chosen for maximum bokeh, to separate the flower from the background. And in future please be more constructive - "low quality" doesn't help me improve my images -- Thennicke (talk) 12:28, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Thennicke and Selbymay: Sorry if I didn't explain, but there are many problems which should not be present in an FP nomination. There is no definition: A 600mm lens is completely inappropriate for a shot of flower. There is poor DoF: F5.6 is inappropriate for a shot of flower. Processing: there appears to be extensive poor quality processing on the flower head. I also don't find the composition attractive - the balance is wrong for me and the cut-off stem is unattractive, but that isn't my reason for opposing. Charles (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment For me, the focus is off. Both flowers appear to be out of focus, the right one definitely so. As such, I feel it fails on technical quality.--Peulle (talk) 15:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay. Well I deliberately went for 600mm f/5.6 so as to maximise the separation of the plant from the background. Perhaps I should've done a focus stacking shot and these sharpness issues wouldn't be there. -- Thennicke (talk) 04:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  - Comment It is possible LivioAndronico is pointing out that the top of the Shard is soft. Charles (talk) 10:16, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Charles if you look at the metalwork at the top (and tip) of the Shard, it is sharp. The lighting up there is unusual and very bright -- so there is glare from the lights just like there is glare around the streetlamps. It isn't low-intensity office lighting up there (compared with lower down), but super bright flood lights making it into a beacon. Anyway, wrt pixel peeping, this is what I'd regard as a "bold subject" not a "detailed subject", so I think pixel-level fussing of a 20+MP image is inappropriate. You don't get much bolder than a 300m glass pyramid in the centre of London. -- Colin (talk) 10:34, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I won't spoil the party by opposing since this is a very high quality photo where the intrigue of the scene lies in seeing everything going on in each window, giving it a wow-factor. But, I find the compo a bit unbalanced and I keep wanting to turn the camera to the left. The cut bridge and the buildings behind it has a different "texture" and color scheme than the rest of the photo, so it doesn't really tie in with the middle and left side of the pic. Have you tried cropping this to square (or near square) format with the Shard as a center piece instead? --cart-Talk 11:23, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cart, thanks for the comments. The nasty pointy thing is sometimes called "Shard London Bridge", sits above London Bridge station, and the collection of buildings in this area is called the London Bridge Quarter. So I wanted, for better or worse, to include London Bridge in the photo. You can just about make out the words "LONDON BRIDGE" on the pillar of the bridge in the shadows. I agree the sky above that area doesn't have the clouds and the sun is setting off to the right so that part of the sky is brighter. I thought it was quite nice to get the contrast of Southwark Cathedral with the geometric glass buildings. The bridge does form a leading line, though the picture would have to be an awful lot wider to get all of that bridge in since it crosses over close to my right side. I'd need closer to a 180° angle of view to follow it to the end. I tried the crop you suggested. It's a different photo that's not bad provided the Shard is off-centre a bit.

Neutral Nice composition, but technically, it fells short (CAs, corner unsharpness). --C messier (talk) 17:16, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose because of the issues raised by Daniel, but the issues look fixable. Fixing the heavy purple fringing may be enough. Fixing distortion at the edges isn't something I know how to do myself, but it seems worth investigating. Even if this nomination isn't successful, you could fix them and renominate. I would be happy to support an improved version, as it's a good scene and good composition. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 23:13, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Would have been an lovely photo if that wall wasn't there. Having something in the foreground "blocking" the viewer from "entering" the photo is seldom a good idea. Had you stepped forward just a bit and maybe included some more sky, you would have got an airy pic with the clouds emulating the curve of the ruin. Not sure it can be saved just by cropping off the wall. --cart-Talk 11:10, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - What a beautiful scene! I'd like to vote for a feature, but the overexposed sky and trees give me pause. Petrovskyz, would you like to dial back the highlights in the upper part of the picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:11, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Sadtly Ikan Kekek that is the furthest they can be recovered. It was quite challenging to get everything properly exposed, so it was either the sky blown a bit, or the detail in the waterfall lost. Had to make a choice on the spot. Petrovskyz (talk) 19:42, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's no way to dial back the highlights only in that one area of the photo? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:27, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan: I guess that Petrovskyz refers to the moment he captured the scene, a HDR could have helped here with such a wide dynamic range. Poc o² 21:22, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'd like to bring up and additional problem: in this kind of images I do consider important that water flows vertical, due to the lack of perspective distortion the water flows are tilted (both sides are leaning in), that's pretty disturbing. Poc o² 21:22, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'm torn on whether or not I like the imbalance of the three major sections. My initial reaction is to wish there were either more on the left in view or even that it were a couple separate images, but at the same time it's all so colorful and crisp that I rather enjoy getting it all at once. Support either way, though. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:51, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question - In which direction would you like User:PtrQs to rotate the picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:44, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To portrait mode, of course (90° CW). But now i saw this shot, less chance to do that. Its not just better, but more suitable for article too. --Mile (talk) 11:47, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's better; rather, I find the photo I nominated richer in the variety of frescos it presents. Sure, the other photo is more useful for an article about Christ Pantocrator, but that's not the only reason for featuring a photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:28, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Without mandatory reason for a special orientation for such stretched pictures I choose landscape as it allows the maximal use on the screen. In portrait mode you could see the full image only in a very small view (Just open the image in full view and press Ctrl-Alt-RightButton! Panic mode off: You can undo this by pressing Ctrl-Alt-UpButton ) --PtrQs (talk) 01:28, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Mile, because it seems to be, based on my own reactions to images, that left-right symmetry is far more important than top-bottom symmetry in a photograph -- Thennicke (talk) 07:24, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry. I think it is great to shoot this from a high point of view, because then the vertical angle-of-view does not need to be as extreme as when shooting from ground level. But the vertical angle-of-view is my problem with the image, and one I have opposed a few of Diliff's images for. I think there is a real temptation to use the whole view and to not crop anything (Was this image taken from a single wide-angle shot, or stitched from a few? The relatively low resolution (for such images) suggests it is just a single shot). I can appreciate the desire to keep the window arches at the side and not crop the central arch. But the result is perspective distortion that causes the painting in the middle of the near-centre arch to appear to face the viewer. One then gets the impression that this arch is not facing the ground but in fact tilted 45°. It is also unfortunate that, for me anyway, it is this painting that first catches my attention, like a big Cyclops eye in the middle. If the picture is cropped vertically where the white-painted diagonal woodwork would meet the corner of the frame then I think the image is improved. The aspect ratio becomes a more normal one for human vision; we still keep all of the second side window; the cropping of the ceiling actually gives the effect of this pattern repeating onwards above one's head; and because each arch repeats the same pattern, we aren't losing anything vital by cropping it. -- Colin (talk) 08:47, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Julian Herzog: In all honesty, what I loved about this image was its original processing, with that strong sense of reflection, and the associated contrast (I think you do an amazing job with your postprocessing).

What do you think? -- Thennicke (talk) 10:19, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I think it is disappointing that people are in opposition to an image because of reflected light; something that is perfectly natural and in my opinion also beautiful. It's just shiny paint, and nothing was overexposed. -- Thennicke (talk) 10:22, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You may have noticed that I didn't support this one yet, as I'm not entirely convinced that the quality deserves FP status. So I'm ok with giving up on it.

Info Night view of the northwest side of the neo-Russian style State Historical Museum of Russia heading to the Manege Square (the opposite side faces the Red Square) in Moscow, Russia. Its exhibitions range from relics of prehistoric tribes that lived on the territory of present-day Russia. The museum was founded in 1872 by Ivan Zabelin, Aleksey Uvarov and several other Slavophiles interested in promoting Russian history and national self-awareness and is a work of Vladimir Osipovich Shervud. In front of the museum is located Vyacheslav Klykov's equestrian statue of Marshal Zhukov, unveiled in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Moscow Victory Parade, when the Soviet commander had spectacularly ridden a white stallion through Red Square and Manege Square.

Comment The 'w' in Walkman should be upper case. Also, I don't get why some things are in ALLCAPS and others aren't. PumpkinSky talk 12:24, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose An interesting idea but ultimately the image has a short shelf-life (i.e. next year) and the choice of events is somewhat arbitrary and inconsistent. For example, the Walkman and early mobile phones were not digital. The Mac, Intel and important chips are not included, yet Windows 10 is, which seems more of an evolution of a product than anything which changed history. Ultimately, any such list is going to be personal and controversial. I don't think the choice of font is very professional. -- Colin (talk) 16:29, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I count on that, not everyone will be satisfied what will be mentioned, was making list 2-3 days. What to put. It is as it is, spent too much on this. I am satisfied with it. Walkman, isnt digital, but goes under Info Age. Letters, etc... which letters would you take !? I dont like to official here. --Mile (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mile, I understand. I just think it would be a good idea to ask someone who speaks English to check a text before you present it here since it is not your language. The word I commented on was that I think it should be "message" which is something very different from a "massage" which you wrote.

Info Holma Boat Club at Gullmarn fjord. This part of the fjord consists mostly of nature reserves, so there are no street lights and very few houses in the area. The scene is only lit by the moon, at the time approaching full at 97.2%. Looking in the opposite direction, you got this. All by me, -- cart-Talk 14:20, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just a small note about the darkness in the photo, since folks have commented on it. The whole idea here was to make a photo, showing the darkness you get with just the moon for light. There aren't many good photos here made that way. Of course I could crank up the exposure and get a nice photo in almost "normal" light and colors, but that would be missing the point. If I had just wanted a photo of the boat club to picture the different buildings there, I would have taken it in daylight. This is to show what moonlight photography can look like. A bit "outside the box" per the way I usually work. ;)--cart-Talk 00:02, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support It would be much prettier if the building was in the sun, but this still passes the bar IMO -- Thennicke (talk) 03:28, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thennicke agree, however the buildings face north so are never in full sun. You end up with an image like this or this where a portion is in deep shadow. A photo taken from the hill like this would get the full sun from the other side. Btw, here are the buildings from the air -- it is a much more three-dimensional scene than it appears. -- Colin (talk) 16:42, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks for the context. I think I'd still prefer the early morning light with the diagonal shadows - the soft yellow glow is oh-so-pretty, and the asymmetrical lighting doesn't faze me. And with buildings such as these you always have the option of getting up early and doing what Julian did in this image, where the sun is rising from behind the building but the facades are still getting plenty of reflected light from the bright sky. I do think that this image has about the worst lighting possible for a building - no offence intended there at all - it is well processed though, and I judge on execution more than on subject/lighting, so still FP to me -- Thennicke (talk) 02:00, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thennicke agree, and if this was an ordinary building at ordinary resolution, then just a QI -- there's nothing magical about the light here. At least it lights evenly for educational purpose, rather than having some of the building hidden in shadow. I do think that strong side light would probably provoke a lot of opposes with complaints that too much of the building was in shadow, unless one artificially pulled up the shadows strongly. The light in Julian's photo is very nice. -- Colin (talk) 08:48, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sorry for elaborating on this point but another thought I had - you could also do such an image on an overcast day, such as in this image. Then you avoid this ugly dynamic range with the bright sky in the background and the dark stuff in the foreground, because everything is evenly-lit and uniform. I think we tend to forget that overcast days can actually produce really great architectural (and other) images, and that a white sky is not always a problem - sometimes that's the way it actually looks -- Thennicke (talk) 13:05, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      Thennicke, no problem. It is good to think about how to improve picture-taking. Looking at our FP exterior architecture photos, of the many dozens of images, I can count the ones taken on overcast days on one hand. That's quite an exceptional example there, where the unusual geometric shape suits the soft lighting, and the exterior is not grey stone, but dark glossy surfaces that work well against a plain sky. Overcast sky is not unusual in the UK and can be really bright to the point of needing HDR to avoid it simply blowing to white, or really dark where one needs to artificially raise the exposure or else the image looks too dull to be enjoyable. You won't avoid "bright sky; dark foreground" unless the sky is actually not evenly lit. For example, dark rainclouds behind the subject and clear sun low behind the photographer always generates a dramatic image. People just don't tend to like white or light-grey skies, and I think if this was a plain grey sky, it would be opposed for it. Leaving the sky aside here, the actual subject is lit via clouds, as it would on an overcast day, so is softly lit, just nothing exciting. That has the benefit of not needing any careful exposure handling, lifted shadows or reduced highlights. This is "the way it actually looks", but that's not really an argument for generating the "wow" for FP vs the thousands of QIs taken on overcast days. Btw, "Capturing Light" by Michael Freeman is a great book on different sorts of light. -- Colin (talk) 14:10, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How general composition light rule the background need have a different contrast level than the foreground, however, I understand the Thennicke comment, the sky look

Info Heavy rain clouds over the ancient site at Epidaurus. The only editing done is perspective; the clouds are as dark as they were in reality.

Comment - There's what looks to me like a fairly prominent dusk spot in a dark part of the cloud; let me know if you need for me to try to mark the spot. Otherwise, I like this photo as a "landscape with ruins" that reminds me of 18th-century paintings. Are you defining your photo as "landscape with ruins and dark clouds"? I think defining it that way, rather than as a view of just the ruins, just might make the difference between approval and failure for this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:47, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks for spotting the dust. :) And yes, this is definitely not just a photo of the ruins; the reason I felt it might deserve the FP badge is because of the light created by the sun behind those heavy clouds. Should I specify this in the image description too, or is it sufficient to say it in this nomination?--Peulle (talk) 15:22, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information about the photo and the scene goes on the file's page. Information about the FPC nomination and arguments pro or con, goes only on the nomination page. I don't think someone using a Wikipedia or this image data bank will be interested in reading about why a photo should be featured. --cart-Talk 19:18, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Underexposed zones and composition --The Photographer 16:36, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mild Support - I don't feel strongly about this photo, but I think we should accept Peulle's statement that the clouds (and presumably the rest of the picture) is as dark as it actually was. I like the light, shadow and ruins in the picture. Colin might say that I'm being too influenced by this reminding me of good paintings with similar subject matter, and if he did say that, he might be right, so I'm hedging a little by only mildly supporting, though of course I'm aware that regardless of how strong or weak my vote is, it counts just as much (or as little). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:15, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Dark clouds and sunlight can be a good combination but overall this is a bit underwhelming. The actual monument is really not very much at all (see this angle). The scene reminds me a bit of File:Tourists posing at the National Monument of Scotland.jpg, and even that joke of a monument is more complete than this. The tourists, scrap metal poles and orange and blue distractions (car? junk?). Overall the image is really soft, so either there's a focus error and/or the use of f/16 on a crop sensor with that superzoom lens is just too much diffraction softening. Ikan, yes the problem about being reminded about better famous artwork, is it reminds me the famous artwork is better. While echoing a famous motif is fine, one's execution of it really has to stand alone, rather than relying on a memory of something else. -- Colin (talk) 21:33, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Your point of view is logical. I'll consider whether to change my vote to neutral. But in partial argument (though, again, I don't feel strongly about this), I don't think this has to be as good as the best of the "landscape with ruins" paintings to be a viable FP. It doesn't look like this will pass at FPC, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:48, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I only say it should "stand alone" as a great image, not that it is as good as or better than some classic artwork. I don't find a "reminds me of a great work" to be a convincing reason to support an image. -- Colin (talk) 08:31, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lights of Climbers staying over night in the wall of El Capitan

Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Sports OR Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural
Info Lights of Climbers staying over night in the wall of El Capitan as seen from Yosemite valley. I only realized by seeing the lights late after dark that the routes take several days for most climbers. I think this picture nicely illustrates the climbing section of the article and provides a unique view on climbing in the valley.

Comment It is an interesting capture and subject. However the mountain and lights are not sharp -- either the focus was more on the trees or the camera moved slightly in the long exposure. Your other shot (File:Elcapitanclimbers-2.jpg) is sharp and the camping climbers are even visible in places, though it doesn't have the starry sky. Perhaps a slightly stopped-down aperture would have helped along with increased ISO. I think I'd probably support the #2 even though this one catches the eye more in thumb. -- Colin (talk) 08:42, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Per Colin. I'd prefer #2 - also for the visually highly interesting verticals (trees...) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:14, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Enchanting. It's the little lights matching the star constellations and the harmonious cliff/sky color that make this scene, "...on earth as it is in heaven". --cart-Talk 09:20, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just to make it even harder to decide I added a third version, this times in landscape. I agree that the sharpness of #2 is slightly better and I also like the structure of the trees - but, and that is the reason why I prefer this one: they diminish the actual size of the wall as the trees seem to have the same hight. However, if there is a large majority for one of the other two pictures I am happy to change. --C-M (talk) 20:14, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alt 2[edit]

Support I think there are two aspects to this. One is a night photo of the mountain, with stars and strange dots of light on the cliff face. Another is a photo documenting the night camps of climbers on this mountain. I think the second aspect is what fascinates us and raises this above any photo of stars and mountains, and is educational rather than just pretty. And it is only really this photo that is (a) sharp of the mountain itself and (b) clear enough to see several climbers in their light spots. The trees reaching for the sky are good, though I accept the argument above that they may give an impression the mountain is smaller than it is. I also wonder why the colour is so different in this one compared to the other two, shot within a few minutes of each other. There's much more of a purple/blue tint in the others, which seems artificial to me and this one seems more neutrally coloured (see both rock and sky). -- Colin (talk) 08:18, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Color: I am currently switching from Lightroom 6 to Capture One as Adobe killed the stand alone License and I am not willing to rent my photo database software (but that is a discussion we should not get into here). This picture was the first picture I developed, still using Lightroom while the other two have been developed in Capture One which seems to have a slightly warmer, more magenta white balance as a default. As I didn't have the intention to have the two pictures side by side I never compared the two during development. Hence: I can match the color balance if needed, but I am hesitated to blow up the number of alts even more... -C-M (talk) 11:46, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first photo's EXIF seems to suggest it has been through both Lightroom and Capture One. Based on the colours, I'd say there's a problem with your Capture One setup. It really doesn't look natural to me. I see in Lightroom you use the "Adobe Standard" profile, which tends to be neutral if boring vs the "Camera standard" which emulates your camera brand's JPGs. I don't know if Capture One has an equivalent. Ideally I think you want your raw software to be neutral and any deviation from that to be a deliberate choice. -- Colin (talk) 15:04, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Colin, I imported the whole Lightroom database into Capture One which took over the exposure adjustment, crops as well as my keywords and ratings, hence Lightroom being mentioned as "History Software Agent" in the EXIF data. Capture One applied the Nikon D500 Profile which indeed has a different tone compared to the Adobe Standard. When I select "Adobe DNG File Neutral" I get a similar color to the one of Lightroom. --C-M (talk) 17:18, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It may be sharper and all but frankly, I find all those trees blocking the veiw of the mountain a bit opressing, like you were looking up at all that glory from a pit down in a dark forest. --cart-Talk 09:42, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - As Colin says, this is the best of the 3, but I'm not sure I'm ready to support it. It's certainly sharper and has much more believable color, and the photographer has the artistic license not to use perspective correction on the trees but let them seem to converge. I would say it has wow, too; I'm just not sure how much I like it. I think I'd prefer a wider composition that's as sharp or sharper and doesn't have a purplish sky, but that's not an option in this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:58, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't know if we have an existing FP of this tourist viewpoint. I see User:Diliff has uploaded five photos of this scene in various light: File:Tunnel View, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite NP - Diliff.jpg, for example. I think the angle of the light highlights the rocks better in Diliff's and the trees are better lit. It is also sharper. However the autumn colours are nice here, though most of the trees are in shadow, which is a shame as they might be amazing if sunlit. -- Colin (talk) 08:54, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alt[edit]

Comment Sunlit may be problematic in autumn as the valleys orientation is west-east, it may be possible in summer when the sun is higher to clear the mountain - different colors however. Before I took this picture the sun was shining through clouds and only came low enough & western enough to cast the ray of light on the very left side of the valley. I uploaded an alternative version which I took a bit earlier - that one does not have the ray of light and hence had a lower dynamic range resulting in a brighter view on the trees. --C-M (talk) 19:40, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm enjoying the trees more in this one. A spot of sunlight (as in the first) can be great, but I think it has to light up the subject, rather just an arbitrary patch of hill off to the left. -- Colin (talk) 08:25, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I understand you want to get the entire reflection of the largest tree in the photo, but the most interesting thing to me is the forms of the vegetation themselves, not their reflections, and I think I'm also reacting to the amount of water in the photo as feeling unbalanced to me. I feel like I'd support the photo if you were to crop out about the nearest 2/5 of the water (in other words, a bit before you get to the coot, which should remain in the picture). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I did a reverse image search and found a whole lot of hits from before it was uploaded here. Thankfully (sort of), that looks to be because the uploader had it on his Flickr account since 2015. It's "all rights reserved" there, however, so @Pixpep: please go through COM:OTRS to make it "official" that you are the owner of the copyright. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 17:46, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for the find. Pixpep's only activity was uploading some images to WLE, so it's rather unlikely that they reply here; however, maybe, someone of our colleagues who are active on Flickr too (e.g. Code, Poco a poco) could contact Peter Nilsson there to make sure it's the same person and the CC license on Commons is approved. --A.Savin 17:58, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've also left a message for Axel Pettersson (WMSE), who tagged the image with WLE, just in case it was perhaps through some outreach that the user uploaded these files (or some other circumstance that could allow for off-wiki contact/knowledge). — Rhododendrites ^talk | 18:04, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The image is well enough rendered (though there is some red/green CA in the top left on the black text). But the full image is this and for an artwork, I can't see a particular justification to support an arbitrary crop at FP. Fine for a QI, but surely our "finest" images of artworks would endeavour to be high-resolution copies of the whole work. -- Colin (talk) 11:36, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Colin Interesting, red/green CA is probably worse than man without head with spoiled focus. Otherwise good represantion of old slavic cyrilic letters. Because of that, maybe it could not pass QI, but definately worth of FP (representing of Slavic culture). In any case, pro photographer with 1.6 mill shots and top camera against hobby camerman with Canon EOS 60D. Crop might be beter, but putting of failed FP + and here - is wonderful. Suppose that president is more then this cultural heritage. --Mile (talk) 14:31, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Some CA is acceptable (imo, though not to others) in a great photo of a scene, and I'd also be more permissive in a ultra-wide shot as CA is harder to eliminate in such lens designs. But here we are reproducing an artwork and the bar for "finest" on Commons for artworks is really rather high. I have no idea why you are comparing to a snap photo of Obama, these are about as far away from each other, photographically, as it it is possible. To be honest, I think it should pass QI as it is certainly a useful photo and of good quality -- I think QI's obsession with pixel peeping is extremely harmful to the project. We have plenty FPs of frescos and other religious art that include most/all of a scene. I don't see why we should start featuring random crops, unless the cropped view is exceptionally notable or there is some physical reason why photographing the whole scene is very hard. -- Colin (talk) 14:51, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Mile, of course it's just a random and non-notable crop because it depicts something that affects hundreds of million people, while the fresco is older than some advanced civilisations today. As for the "man without had with spoiled focus", don't forget that he's a supranatural deity that everyone here must worship, otherwise risking to be either bullied or blocked indefinitely and reported to the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team.:)--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 00:24, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the FP category. This is a photo of a huge crowd and religious worship, which takes place at this temple. -- Colin (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info created and uploaded by PKharote - nominated by Selbymay (talk) 13:37, 8 November 2017 (UTC) - This picture won the first prize for WLM in India this year. It's rare to see this kind of monument with the crowd around during a celebration in this competition and it adds much in value - aesthetic as encyclopedic.[reply]

Strong support Time ago without see a amazing and spectacular image like this. Right moment, amazing point of view, composition, historic moment and situation, quality, charming and a long list of amazing for this image. Some things could be better, for example not having cut the structure similar to a Christmas tree in the lower right, also the arm of the person on the left, however, totally minuscule comments compared to the grandiosity of this spectacular photo and possibly image of the year --The Photographer 14:13, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now because of perspective issues - verticals should be vertical. --Uoaei1 (talk) 15:28, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- As it's an awarded picture, I think we don't have to edit it, unless you want to upload an alternative version, even if I don't see the necessity. I put the proposition in the category Religious buildings but the main subject is not the temple but the celebration, it's more a news image than an architectural view. --Selbymay (talk) 16:23, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree, Uoaei1. The purpose of this photo is not to be an architectural shot. The camera appears to be pointing slightly down, and so that is the perspective. -- Colin (talk) 17:35, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- What ever this is, the perspective issue disturbs me, otherwise I would not have opposed. The only result of my vote is probably that you have to wait a couple of days longer to receive the FP star. --Uoaei1 (talk) 19:42, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Uoaei1 by why you are "disturbed" enough to oppose? [though we all know why Livio opposes] There is an expectation in architectural photography that we present a perpendicular view in rectilinear projection and at sufficient distance to avoid exessive wide-angle distortion. But the purpose of the photography here is to give the observer's view of the event. We have people on a high position throwing turmeric on a crowd below. The obvious direction of view is to the crowd. You wouldn't, at this point, look straight ahead at the towers across, so neither should our perspective give that impression. The angle here is a good compromise between a direct look down and keeping level enough to retain the top of the spires. I simply think it is factually wrong to describe this as a "perspective issue". The perspective is correct and a valid one. If you don't like the view and angle, then fine that is merely a matter of taste, but let's not confuse that with any technical fault that isn't there. -- Colin (talk) 21:08, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Colin: When I see these leaning verticals, I feel disturbed - not more and not less. And I see that a correction would be easy. Do you want to discuss my personal impressions? Please be respectful and accept my vote. --Uoaei1 (talk) 21:22, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - I can be respectful if you express your opinion as a matter of taste/feeling. But a statement like "verticals should be vertical" or a complaint about "perspective issues" is simply factually and optically wrong. Furthermore, it gives a bad indication to photographers thinking of nominating at FPC that we have rather odd and limited ideas of what is valid (vs what is enjoyed or disliked), or to photographers trying to improve their photography, that someone this image has a fundamental technical flaw. -- Colin (talk) 08:04, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        @Colin: I refer to the image quality rules - so what is wrong or insufficient, or even simply factually and optically wrong? And before you explain me that this rule just applies to architecture photography, just have a look in what category this is nominated! --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:58, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        Uoaei1, as you already know, this rule only applies to architecture photography, and even then only for a certain style of architecture photography -- we have several examples that rightly deviate from the rule the camera must be pointing directly level or up. This sort of rigidity of thinking, that there is only one correct way, discourages creative photography. See Dreyfus model of skill acquisition for where "rules" sits in one's journey. The category is not, in fact, what the image has been nominated to be judged for, though it can be helpful if chosen well. If you remember, in the past, those who maintain our FP galleries used to decide where to put each photo, which isn't always easy as a photo can apply in several categories. It was then decided to pass that job onto the nominator. We've gone from the task being done by those familiar with the categories and their maintenance, to the task being done by novices. So we now very frequently find the nominator hasn't chosen well, and the nomination gets these sort of comments about this irrelevance. If you haven't spotted the crowd of hundreds of people, being showered by saffron in an act of religious worship, then you're looking at a different picture to me :-). -- Colin (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I'm sorry, I'd love to support a photo of this bridge, but in this case, it's a photo of part of the bridge (I guess from Roosevelt Island), facing the uninteresting Queens side. I remember walking over this bridge in the late afternoon years ago and seeing the yellow sunlight glinting off the old factories further north than shown in the picture, which made them look kind of beautiful. I think this scene probably looked more beautiful to you in person, but I don't think the light is special enough to make the view that interesting, and the cutoff of the bridge bothers me.

Support Another WLM-US submission that, this time, did meet with a lot of judicial approval. I'm not bothered by it being of the Queens side ... I have a feeling Long Island City will grow more in the future, and this picture may capture a moment in its development that will be past sooner than we realize. Also, at least this way you get that feel of the city at sunset, something that would be different from the opposite side as you'd have a lot of backlit buildings (I suppose someone could try that at sunrise, though ... it might get that quality of the view of which Fitzgerald wrote ("the city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city as seen for the first time") Daniel Case (talk) 02:45, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's a lovely scene and very aesthetic, however there are a few things that should have been found and corrected at QIC.

Info This photo was taken in May 2009 and in all the articles written about Pete Souza's new book "Obama: An Intimate Portrait", this is an image the picture editors choose. The composition isn't perfect (the boy's dad's head is cropped), the focus isn't perfect (slightly back focused), but Souza only had time for one click and fortunately froze just the right moment. A photograph isn't just about technical attributes. The little boy asks "I want to know if my hair is just like yours". You can read the full transcript in this NY Times article, and Souza's own opinion of and story behind the photo on p38 of his book (currently being shown on his web page). Whereas most photos hung in the White House are rotated every few weeks, this one was kept up for three years. Its removal prompted protest from staff who regarded it as an important stop when taking people on a tour of the White House. So it went back up again till the end of Obama's term in office in 2017. The image shows the achievement of a black man in America and possibilities open to a black child: is he just like me; could I be just like him? It also shows the most powerful person of a most powerful nation bowing to a mere child and permitting intimacy. Souza took 1.9 million photos while following Obama's presidency, so I guess a few of them should be worth featuring!

Oppose is not FP JukoFF (talk) 14:35, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- JukoFF, the rules at FPC require an explanation for an oppose vote. Simply saying "is not FP" is not a reason. Please note the FPC criteria include "Symbolic meaning or relevance" and that for FP wow factor can overcome technical shortcomings. This has become a historically important photo by a notable photographer. -- Colin (talk) 14:43, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - The photo is very, very, very poor quality, very bad focusing, cropped heads, blurred faces. Do not understand the uniqueness of this photo. Or do you think that this is a random photo and it was removed from the first and not the tenth attempt? JukoFF (talk) 14:55, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Souza wrote: "It happened so fast. I clicked just one picture". The aperture of f/2.8 does not permit much focus range, and the focus is more than acceptable for many print sizes. He also writes "Later, when I saw the picture blown up, I knew it was special". I suggest you buy a book of Magnum photos, many of which are regarded similarly as classics that make other photographers envious, and you might realise that most of them are really nothing special technically, with all sorts of focus, exposure and composition shortcomings. -- Colin (talk) 15:23, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, the composition is just bothering me too much, even if it is a nice moment. I think this one is just as humbling/cute, and much better technically, so I'm judging against that very high standard -- Thennicke (talk) 07:42, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - That one has nowhere near the meaning or historical significance of this photo, as described above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:05, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thennicke (and others) you can't judge this against a posed photo, or against our other people photos taken in a studio or outdoors in bright light. This is one of those images, as Ikan puts it, of "historical and societal importance", and for that reason the technical aspects are just irrelevant. I have no doubt this photo will remain significant, as the symbolism is just too high. We are enormously lucky that Sousa's output is copyright-free, most other countries would have this image heavily licenced and making pot loads of money. Comments like "not a very good photo" or "very, very, very poor quality" are not only wrong but a sign you aren't really looking properly. When the world disagrees with you, and news photo editors all over the world love this image, it is time to re-evaluate your personal criteria for what makes a great image. The bit you all praise at FPC, sharpness, exposure, that's the bit done by Nikon and Canon and Sony, and frankly we don't deserve any praise for that. -- Colin (talk) 08:19, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the world does disagree with me, but that doesn't make me wrong - looking at an image is a subjective thing, and I'm not feeling the "wow" - just another picture of Obama to my eyes. Perhaps I needed the backstory or something before I looked at the image, so that I came to the task with preconceptions (and that's not intended as snarky). I agree that the story behind it is nice, as is the symbolism, but I am not judging this image from the same perspective as a magazine publisher or a news outlet. Yes we are lucky to have this image freely-licensed. But I hope you can see my opposition as legitimate by the standards of this particular forum - and no, I am not a pixel peeper, as you might've noticed; I admit to often reviewing images merely from the thumbnail. Arguments from authority don't impress me; there are plenty of "famous" photographs that would be rightly criticised here. Fame is often different from wow. Although I can see why you would nominate this if it is trending at the moment, and sorry for what might seem like a harsh opposition. -- Thennicke (talk) 10:49, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And can I add that there is a political dimension to this; I don't think the same image would have been nominated here if it was Donald Trump in the frame. There is also a political element to what is considered "historical" and what is considered otherwise. I think it is best to respect peoples' differing opinions on this matter in an otherwise "apolitical" space. -- Thennicke (talk) 10:56, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But I didn't nominate it because it is "trending at the moment", the photo is eight years old and was viral 5 years ago. The only reason the photo is getting current coverage is because of the 1.9 million photos Sousa took, this is one of handful that picture editors (and Sousa himself on his own web page) have selected as among the best. Yes there is politics about race, which is part of what makes this photo historically important, and part of what makes this photo possible is how accessible Obama was. But there are 101 reasons why you wont ever see a similar photo of Trump, and they are nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the kind of guy Trump is. Well, if take a photo of a person, aspects of that person come out, and we're seeing that here. That's what makes a successful photo. In contrast, Trump's recent photos have all the charm of a school photo. -- Colin (talk) 12:40, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sorry, trending 5 years ago - my mistake. Yes this image shows Obama's personality, but so does the other one, with much better image quality. All I'm trying to say is that we've got 2 FPs featuring Obama already, zero of Bush and zero of Trump, and that reflects not the photographic merit of the images, but whether we as a community consider them "historical" - it's a question of values, otherwise we wouldn't see them nominated in the first place. To elaborate on the point, 3/5 of the images in the 1990-now section are of 9/11 (with another in the unsorted area). Our community chose to nominate those images, and that shows what they care about. Obviously there is bias in this community; most of us are westerners and so forth. What I am saying here is that the "it's a historical image" argument bothers me when we already have such a bias. -- Thennicke (talk) 00:03, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Focal point is on the desk, of camerman with 1.9 million shots !? Lot of profs are using Auto mode, which can be much more clever than a man. For more see Do professionals use auto mode?. Its still too ordinary shot. If this would be JFK in Dallas in 1963, that would make much more sense. Otherwise i saw many more similar videos of Trump than Obama, and if someone made shot here we go. --Mile (talk) 18:42, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Colin and Ikan. Yeah, maybe it could be better cropped in, but photos like these, as Souza, just happen, and you either get them when they do or you don't.

Oppose I've refrained from opposing images for a while, but here I do have a strong reason for it. Apart from the multiple quality issues that even the nominator has pointed out, the image has no educational value. The explanation that the image "shows the achievement of a black man in America" is very abstract and unnoticeable at first glance. This is undoubtedly a funny image with interesting history and some social impact, but this is definitely not what FP is all about and there is no room for me to make concessions.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:28, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kiril, you have trimmed the full statement I made about the image (which is merely my own interpretation, one of many possible): "The image shows the achievement of a black man in America and possibilities open to a black child". That the image has a back-story "Is my hair the same as yours?", tells me this is a story-telling image, and not merely something photogenic. See this for details about a form of educational publication where image+story are absolutely intertwined. While our boring photos of landscapes and buildings stand alone, the very best educational images ever produced all have a story behind them. Unless one is so out-of-touch with current affairs over the last 10 years, I think most of our readers would recognise Barack Obama and know he is the first black president of the USA. So I think it is stretching things a bit to claim the message here is "abstract and unnoticeable". Your claim "the image has no educational value" is really quite amazing. Do you think nobody writes educational pieces on black equality in the USA, or that nobody writes educational pieces on Obama's character, which included being a very family-friendly personality? I could keep going... there are loads of educational uses for this image. I guess all the newspapers around the world, who have used this image, found nothing educational to comment on it? Is it just a funny cartoon? FP is about "finest on Commons" and that is more than pictures of landscapes and famous buildings. -- Colin (talk) 09:18, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Kiril, just Google "I want to know if my hair is just like yours". Dozens of newspaper articles from 2012 when the NYTimes interviewed the family, many of the articles wrote about race and Obama's presidency. Similar when The Grio re-interviewed them earlier this year. The google results also includes several books on racial issues, all citing that photo and the story behind it. We have here one of those special educational images that not only document a story/person/event in a special way, but the image itself becomes a story in itself. It is almost certainly to be included in any biography of Obama and any extensive discussion of race in the USA. I don't think any of us could say our FPs have the same unique educational value at all -- ours are all quite replaceable with numerous other similar images. -- Colin (talk) 10:09, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think everyone can have own interpretation of what story does this image tell. The notion of "black equalty in the USA" is something that I cannot recognise here at all because that would have properly worked had there been a "white" president in this image. I also don't think that this breaks any social equality barriers either with all people being well-dressed in a presidential room. The missing value here that could have made that interpretation easily noticeable lies in the lack of contrasting elements. I would have assigned great educational value to an image depicting the motion from the interaction between a well-dressed billionaire and very poor people in a ruined village or social shock from extremely poor people accessing tecnological gadgets for the first time. Unfortunately, this has nothing to offer of it, no matter what the general public says about it. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:23, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't understand your argument at all. Not one bit. It's like you are trying really really hard not to get it. It isn't people in a room, this is the president of the USA, a black president, in his office, bowing to a child and letting them touch him. Which part of that is not just a wee bit unusual given the history of the US, or indeed, any first world western democracy? But importantly, we aren't really here to judge if you personally have no educational interest in the picture, but whether others might find an educational use for it. And is most certainly has, and here it is most certainly free for anyone to use. -- Colin (talk) 15:35, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The image has no educational value? I mean, if you wanted to argue that Commons should do away with educational value as a criterion, that's one thing (though not something to argue in a nomination thread), but arguing that this image has no educational value is just so absurd that it makes me wonder whether anything else is behind the statement. I have to agree with Colin's comment above. It's a pretty restrained response to the stuff you wrote above, and I'm restraining myself, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:28, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan Kekek, well you know me, "restrained" is my middle name :-) -- Colin (talk) 18:46, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, like it or not, this image does not have any educational value for me. After all, it's just my subjective judgement that you don't need to agree with and something that you're not going to change. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 20:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let me repeat: whether it has educational value "for you" is irrelevant. Putting one's Wikipedia hat on for a moment, it only takes to briefest research to demonstrate multiple reliable sources regard the image as having educational value. It is already being used educationally. So that's simply a fact and doesn't require subjective opinion to guess whether perhaps in future someone somewhere might have an educational use for it. It is of educational value. Fact. That is all that matters. -- Colin (talk) 21:49, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and what goes into your "subjective judgment", I probably would do best not to imagine, but I've lost a lot of respect for you, and I'll leave it at that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:54, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may post millions of sources with explanations of what this image really means and how big its "educational value" is, but it's completely irrelevant for me to make own assessment of it as a piece of art. Art is all about "subjective judgement" of its value based on how it articulates beauty and emotions, whereas the position of arguing against someone's assessment with some general opinion just kills the artistic spirit. I may be the only person in the world to assess that a book, painting, musical composition, film, photograph or any other piece of art has or hasn't any educational value against the prevalent opinion by the critics and the least that those who don't agree with me can do is to respect my opinion. Finally, art is different from science in recognising educational value. Unlike theories, which explain the nature of the things in a technical way and provide a relevant learning resource equally for everyone, pieces of art distinguish in that they invite personal thinking on whether there is potential for relevant learning or not.

I respect your intentions and encourage you to do whatever you want, but please stop wasting my volunteer time counterproductively. I'm here to contribute to the project to the best of my abilities and not to debate with users about my every single comment.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:29, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kiril nobody is forcing you to comment, so it isn't valid for you to complain about wasting your time. If you want to post comments about your opinions here, then expect them to be challenged. If you don't like them being challenged, don't post, or at least unwatch afterwards. One last time to clarify. We often have to judge if an image here has the potential for educational use, and thus be "in scope". While the image isn't actually being used, that remains a judgement call and open to subjective opinions. The moment an image gets used on Wikipedia, Commons regards it as "in scope" because the educational value of an image is no longer a judgement call but a hard fact (the image is used on two articles). And when we go outside of Wikipedia, we see the image is being used educationally widely. It's like having an argument, today, about whether Trump could be president of the USA. He is the president of the USA, so anyone offering a personal subjective opinion to the contrary, just looks really really odd. The image is being used to discuss issues of black equality in the USA and aspects of Obama's presidency, regardless of whether you think it could not do so. -- Colin (talk) 09:49, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  - I'll have to look around. I'll say this, though: I've been paying close attention to photos of mountain streams, to try to find one I thought was an FP.

- Comment @W.carter: I had to both smile and chuckle. I'm glad you liked it so much and think it's iconic, but I'd never thought of it as iconic; I guess because I see this stuff all the time.

Thanks for fixing the picture. It's "stuff we see all the time" that needs to be documented too, although such subjects are always hardest to get "wow-y" photos of.

Comment its techically excellent but the missing top of the arcades give a sense of clautrophobia.

Comment If you have Photoshop, it would be better to crop a bit lower and remove the heads with the Content-Aware Fill tool. That way more water can be preserved; I think that would be better than just cropping. --cart-Talk 19:21, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify: I was only suggesting an alternative method to get more water if it was cropped. It was not an argument for or against the tourists. --cart-Talk 10:13, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think this realistic presentation is excellent. The tourists belong to Rome and especially to this fountain. To get a "clean" picture you would have to remove the scaffolding and the electrical wiring in the upper left corner. And what happens to the people on the right and left?--Ermell (talk) 23:20, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I am in agreement with both cart and Ermell. On the one hand the people's heads are a distraction. On the other when can you shoot this picture without anyone there? And who would deny that tourists are part of the Trevi experience? I like that we can see a couple taking a selfie. But then they are distorted, as well. I guess I would have to see one with the people edited out per cart's suggestion to know whether I would like it better. Daniel Case (talk) 06:47, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Diliff's photo is far superior, in my opinion, simply because of the lack of tourists in front of the fountain. The tourists in front of the fountain are really distracting to me. However, I like the lighting a lot. If you decided to crop out the entire front as far as necessary to eliminate our view of the tourists on that side, I would support. As it is, I think you can take a photograph of "Tourists in front of the Trevi Fountain" or of the fountain itself, but a photograph of both is not special to me, even if it does reflect what the atmosphere around the fountain is actually like. (One reason I've been there only once that I can remember.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:47, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The Photographer. Wrt cropping, there isn't enough of the brown field above the tree shadow for me to crop it to be just field. The tree branches may be compositionally a little messy but they help indicate the photographer is up the tree. Of course one can find an educational use: shadows, Autumn colours, low sun, childhood fun climbing a tree-ladder, etc, etc. Perhaps not as educationally useful as a photo of Barack Obama ;-). -- Colin (talk) 18:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To cart, Peulle, Daniel Case, Sanjay Acharya, I have some difficulties to understand your opposition based only on such minor flaws as CA (not even mentioned in FP guidelines). Featured Pictures doesn't have to be Super-QI. It's normal that we have some expectations of quality here but the first one there should be on the artistic value not on the technical. If you can't appreciate such images without pointing out the technical imperfections, I guess you suffer a lot when you visit photo exhibitions & festivals. For me, as for a few I hope, the beauty and the magic of photography doesn't reside in absolute perfection. --Selbymay (talk) 09:30, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Selbymay, these "Should we accept CA in FPs"-discussions flare up in nominations and on the FPC talk page from time to time, leaving none the wiser (example). Removing CA and other minor technical imperfections are not written in the image guidelines or rules of FP quality criteria but such corrections have been general practice / unwritten rule as long as I have been active here on Commons. The "no-CA-rule" was in fact the first rule I learned here. The written rules/guidelines have not been altered in a long time and does therefore not include many of the things that are quite easy to correct with programs and all these days. I guess the reasoning goes that if it's easy to fix something, why shouldn't we fix it so that FPs are as good as they can possibly get. We DO appreciate the artistic value in images and are not pained when looking at exhibitions. I have an equal difficulty in understanding why you are so opposed to make minor easy improvements in a photo to make it as good as possible, like any artist putting the finishing touches on a work of art before an exhibition. If you want to make an effort to change how photos are to be judged here you are very welcome to start a discussion about it on the FPC talk page. Who knows, maybe we will reach a conclusion this time... --cart-Talk 11:25, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:54, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is a nice composition indeed but for some reason it seems like we have missed the chance to see a better photo. It might be due to the acid cold overall tone? Or to the too small village which gets lost into the composition? Or to the left part of the photo which is too empty? It might even be that if the foreground plants were occupying a larger section of the lower part of the composition, the general effect would have been better. Probably if the plants had the same size of the right part of the sky the whole compsition would be more balanced and the empty middlegorund (the lake) would be less "important" giving a better general impact of the photo. But im not sure:-)Paolobon140 (talk) 16:09, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thank you quite a lot for your special review and comment. You are right in all terms. Before nominating that photo I had precisely the same worries about it like you wrote them down above. In the future I will try to become more selective before nominating an image at the FPC. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 06:42, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think the strength of this image is as a good take on the "bird on a wire" scene. If it were just the bird, I don't think I would nominate as a species identification sort of photo, but as a whole I think it could be FP. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 23:55, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A little less centered compo would make the picture even better... See note --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:06, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral A wonderful photo. A pity that the head is before a dark green background and not before the sky. Also the roof or what this is in the right lower part is disturbing. -- -donald- (talk) 08:10, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Created by Edward Linley Sambourne and published in Punch in 1892, "The Rhodes Colossus" is an iconic editorial cartoon depicting a satirical take on Cecil Rhodes' vision of British colonial rule in Africa. It has since come to represent "the Scramble for Africa" as well as Western colonialism as a whole, being often reprinted both in its time and right up to the present day, in various publications and school books.

Comment Most QI and FP gifs are well below 2MP simply because they are many pictures stacked. Most normal software can't even produce complicated gifs as big as 2MP and the wiki software also distort the color in large gifs when they are shown in thumb. Please take a look at Commons:Featured pictures/Animated, one of the gif FPs there is only 280 × 233 pixels. This is actually a rather complicated gif, it is made up from 170 images whereas most normal good gifs are made up of 10-35 images. That is why it has to be made this small. When judging a gif, you need to look at both the "picture" like any normal photo but also look at how many images it is composed of and how it displays on the screen. The movement should be smooth and not jerk around too much. --cart-Talk 09:40, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: , as far as the poles, after spending quite some time looking at this, I think it was a little of both. Using the guide lines you can turn on in Lightroom, it was off verticle a tiny bit now per the guidelines it's straight. I also think there was and is a little optical illusion going on because of the curved tree trunk that is right beside it. I've done what I can with this and uploaded a new version, but I have little practice at perspective fixing. @Johann Jaritz: , JJ, I know you helped me with perspectives once before.

Comment Pictures like this should always contain a foreground, a middle ground and a background as shown, for example, in http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/1_L_gcgnxTlaypPtW_XI8Q109807/GW417H352 As you can notice you have a foreground here (some branches of trees) and a background with more trees but the middleground is completely missing: only a large portion of empty and uninteresting water (a small boat or a swan would hav helped..). You might try to approach these kinds of composition by dividing the frame in three layers as shown in the link and you will notice a big improvement in your compositions:-) Every layer should show something interesing.Paolobon140 (talk) 10:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Paolobon140, I appreciate your point and your standards, but I don't agree with your analysis of this photo. The middleground contains reflections in the water, and the composition works well for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:32, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case and PetarM: Do you know the location? A panorama was not a good decision, it's hypothetically. You'll loose the background or include disturbing elements at the left and the right. The background shouldn't be sharp. The distance is about several kilometers, the railing only a couple of meters. --XRay ^talk 19:30, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@XRay I wasnt telling it should be wider. There are two options, wide open f with focus just on fence (need better lens), might work better than this. Or 2 shots fence+mountain and stitched. I am sure would be sharper than single shot. --Mile (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment File size from orignal to modified version went from 39MB to 12MB. Processing seems to have caused these problems. Suggest owner go back to the original version. PumpkinSky talk 19:08, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not read my comment on the newest upload? The original author deliberately added grain to the file, so I removed a significant amount of it. As you can see, it is still too noisy for reviewers, which means I should've been even more aggressive with the NR. Noise levels directly correlate with filesize, and as the author added grain to this, the filesize was enormous. In short - bigger filesizes are often not a good thing. What you're seeing here is not the result of a JPG quality slider being set to excessive compression settings. -- Thennicke (talk) 22:52, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Overprocessed both by original (grain) and Thennicke (contrast). Fog is a low contrast situation, so the result is really really unnatural. -- Colin (talk) 19:29, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin: I've had a think about this and I partially disagree about your comment re. contrast. I think you're right to disagree with me increasing the blackness of the shadows, because black is the absence of photons, and on a foggy day there will be no such absence due to all the reflected light. But I also think you're wrong to disagree with me increasing the whiteness of the highlights, because AFAIK the human visual system adjusts its perception of a scene to make the brightest point fully saturated regardless of the contrast of the scene. And when all three RGB channels are fully saturated we get white. In short, the image should always have at least one pixel which is white (unless there is a colour cast, in which case that pixel should just be fully saturated with that colour). I remember we recently failed a picture of a cloud because the blacks were too deep, but I think that such an image should always have at least one pixel which is pure white; #FFFFFF (in other words R=256, G=256, B=256). What do you think of this? Also this image is absolutely huge; are you pixel peeping when you say it's too noisy? -- Thennicke (talk) 05:12, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's definitely an argument for "expose to the right" (while using base ISO) in order to retain as much information in the image file as possible, though this is done with the knowledge that one will pull the exposure back down again in post. If you are not using the full 0..255 range of a JPG, then whether "white" is 255 or 240 is neither here nor there on a mathematical information-retention level. Technically, the sRGB standard does specify luminance conditions for a technician in a TV/Film/Artist studio to sit there with their monitor at a certain brightness, with shades around the monitor, with ambient light at a certain level, and then to adjust the scene to look right -- that's how our TV programs aren't all mid-grey. The original image does actually use the full 0..255 but not in all three colours simultaneously. The red channel goes from 0..255, the green channel goes to 230 and blue to 225. On each colour, the bulk of the histogram only reaches 200. You can see then that since red is already utilising the full range, one can't simply raise the numbers on all three channels to reach your desired 255/255/255. Lightroom's exposure adjustment is not a simple "brightness" control, though, so it is possible to shift that histogram bulk higher up without blowing the highlights much more. Still, that sort of adjustment is an artistic choice rather than some scientific improvement. The books I have (e.g. The Digital Negative) suggest adjusting the exposure in Lightroom so your mid tones look about right to you, but that's also advice for a typical scene, and not always applicable to all kinds of image. How bright an image ultimately renders is dependent on this JPG value but also the viewer's monitor settings and the ambient brightness in the room. So I don't think I'm concerned about the RGB values so much as the over all high-key / low-key / high-contrast / low-contrast effect. If you look at the EXIF for the original, the author made some fairly big adjustments already. Vibrance +17. Several hue/saturation/luminance adjustments to various colours. Exposure +.25. Contrast +47. Highlights -8. Shadows +41. Whites +44. Blacks -35. Clarity +35. Sharpness +56 (which has added noise). So he's already boosted the contrast, globally, and with white/black adjustment and locally with clarity, all at very significant levels.
On your second point, yes I suppose if I downsize to 6MP then I can no longer see the added noise. And even at 13.5MP (4500x3000) the noise is not really apparent. The extreme sharpening (+56, no masking or other adjustment I can see) gives an illusion of tree leaf detail in the downsized image, but one can see in the 100% that soft foggy areas are full of "detail" that simply shouldn't be there. I don't know. If the noise was a consequence of lighting conditions requiring high iso, then I'd be more forgiving. As it is, it seems to be a bit of "fakery" to make the image sharper than it really is. I'd like to see what the original soft foggy scene looked like. So while the noise disappears on downsizing to perfectly usable levels, the fake sharpness is retained. I can't make up my mind on whether that's reasonable.
Wrt your adjustment. I think that is more extreme than removing a dust spot or two. Personally I'd be upset if someone did that to one of my images without creating a new alternative file and making the adjustment clear in the "Author" section of the image description. I know it is in the upload log, but that's pretty obscure. Clearly the photographer didn't just create an out-of-camera JPG, but took care to post process the image to their taste (whether we agree or not) which includes the contrast levels, the brightness and the amount of noise/sharpening they wanted for effect. What we have here isn't any longer John Towner's image. I think, for FP "finest", I'd like if we respected the creator's vision and offered our own variants with more separation than just a file version that hides the original from direct use. -- Colin (talk) 09:14, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin: Thanks for such a complete response. I didn't check the histogram of the original image, so I didn't realise that the full gamut was actually being used. I agree with your reasoning and have reverted to the original image. Also how did you get that exif info? exiftool? I didn't know you could retrieve such information; that's handy to know. -- Thennicke (talk) 00:13, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support the original version. Decided to forgive the over-sharpening grain, as it isn't really apparent even at 13.5MP downsized. I use Jeffrey Friedl's Image Metadata Viewer. You used to be able to link to the results page, but he had to change ISP and the bandwidth restrictions mean it's behind a captcha test. This depends on the user exporting from Photoshop or Lightroom and not removing the metadata from the EXIF when they do. And if an image has been through many tools, then the EXIF can become confused or incomplete. I don't think other tools export as much detail as the Adobe ones. -- Colin (talk) 09:08, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I see first time food to be photographed on the ground (on parquet), seems strange, unless you were presenting Arabs, Kurds or others who also eat on the ground. One part of buns is covered with blanket. I also miss some more exposure, especially above. --Mile (talk) 08:56, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No dear Mile, this is not photographed on the floor! This is photograped on the work table in my kitchen and the wooden block in the background is a cutting board that I have there. This kind of wood pattern is very common on the work tops in Swedish kitchens (Example) and also on walls (Example). I can assure you that most of us don't eat on the floor. :) --cart-Talk 09:23, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This must be some IKEA standard. But its still same, decorating isnt so nice (type of wood), seems like rombic Volvo car. Otherwise, eating on ground can be very good, and helpful for soul. --Mile (talk) 09:54, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We are all from different cultures and have different views of what is beautiful and how things are done. We can't all agree on what is the best way, that would be boring. Btw, we use wood like that since we can get more material from a tree that way. It saves trees and is good for the environment. IKEA did not invent it but they are copying it. --cart-Talk 10:20, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good lighting, colour, sharp and homely presentation. I'm struggling a little to see how the cloth and chopping board might naturaly arrange themselves in this way.

Thanks Colin. Most food photos are arranged/styled in some way to give the whole thing a pleasant look. The chopping board is actually where I keep it if I'm not using it, leaning against the wall. I use that small, old tablecloth to cover bread with as it cools after being newly-baked. So when I was done with the baking, I saw that I had all the elements needed for a nice photo. I arranged them a bit and set up the camera. It made for a better photo of the buns to have the cloth under and around them rather than over them. :) --cart-Talk 12:40, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Blue-hour view of the free-standing bell tower of the Pula Cathedral, Pula, Croatia. The present-day cathedral came into existence through a series of expansions of pre-existing 5th-century religious buildings, whereas the baroque-stlye bell tower, located in front of the basilica, was added in 1707 and was built using stones taken from the Roman-built Pula Arena.

Comment A bit too many points of attention in my opinion: the cloudy sky, the green trees, the white spot in the center of the composition, the green area at the right, the river and the grey area on the left: these are 5 different zones in one single picture. My eye roams around the pciture searching for one point of interest of the composition that cannot be found: the result is quite a messing composition. I always think a picture like this should contain not more than 3 points of interest where the eye can stop and enjoy the details:-)Paolobon140 (talk) 21:51, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about composition

Question - When's the last time you looked at a great landscape painting? How many points of interest are in this painting? How about this one? Complexity, well handled, is a great thing, not a bad thing. Moreover, what I feel you are really doing is criticizing the traditional Japanese aesthetic of what a garden should look like, the best to encourage contemplation, meditation and appreciation of nature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Answer In the painting you showed there are the three canonical layers which accompany painting since its origins: foreground with people, lake, trees; middleground with a hill and a castle; background with sky. I judge the picture, not the culture thta originates the garden and i think, in my opinion, the pictire is messy.Paolobon140 (talk) 13:37, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make clear that I value your ideas and participation. I think it's invigorating and helpful to this project. However, I don't think that merely because a picture has a foreground, middleground and background, that means there are only 3 points of interest in it. So our analyses differ. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:08, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad you value my considerations about the picture: commenting on a picture is always interesting if the picture is standing enough to share some impressions about it. About foreground, middlegorund and background: photograaphy descends from painting and took much from painting compositional rules; actually the first photographers simply tried to transport compositional rules from painting into photography; and actually photography have few basic rules, but all of them are simply imported from painting: rule of thirds and rule of fg, mg and bg in panoramas are among them. If you notice the best paintings and the best photographs alwyas follow these 2 basic rules and the result is something our human eye immediately recognizes as "pleasant". It is due to our human way of dividing what we see in thirds, its something automatic. Of course, you can also decide to break the rules, but takes some extremely powerful idea:-) My opinion of course... then we even might talk about the influence of Caravaggio's paintings in modern portrait photography, but thata is something different...Paolobon140 (talk) 08:16, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My father was a painter who spent a lot of time explaining art to me. I never recall him mentioning a "rule of thirds", but he liked to talk about the linear arabesque, triangular shapes in landscapes, perspective (which I never really mastered seeing in detail), and relationships between shapes and forms, among many other things. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, another thought: There are many styles of painting. Traditional Japanese styles don't have the same approach as the post-Romanesque European tradition. I think it also pays not to impose European-style aesthetics on all photographs. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:05, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sense of aesthetics is a product of the culture and traditions we have been born in, its not something you can easily change when it comes to comment on a photograph which follows some japanese sense of aesthetics. Im italian and im automatically seeing things with an italian sense of aestethics. And remember i commented on your pic by saying that in my opinion its a messy composition. I think "messy" is not influenced by any kind of specific culture. Messy is more or less the same all over the world:-) I find a wonderful sense of aestethics in the Beijing opera, even if i was borm with Verdi's opera. Beautiful things are immediately recognisable everywhere.Paolobon140 (talk) 16:03, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not Japanese, either, but my father loved and collected books of classical Japanese paintings. It's not at all true that there are universal, world-wide standards of beauty or appropriate artistic form, and your nationality isn't a bar to learning something about Japanese aesthetics, if you choose to do some study. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Karelj: Sorry, I can't accept the reason of your vote. It is not necessary to have any benefit for Wikipedia. Here is Wikimedia Commons, a media archive for everybody. And the benefit for Wikipedia is not part of the guidelines of a FPC. --XRay ^talk 05:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --XRay ^talk 06:18, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@XRay: Sorry for using not correct reason for oppose. But my feeling about this image is still the same - such photo is not enouht quality for FP. Technically pefrect. But I do not understand the reason for this nominatiom. I know, that you have a lot of FP on Wiki (some of them are also problematic from my point of view), but why this one...?? Three tree trunks cutted in let say 1.5 m height and nothint else? Maybe there is some small beetle, which is centre of picture and I do not see it (my weak glasses???)... I am sorry, but for sure I have no strong estetic sense, or how to call it, and only things which I feel looking on picture are: Have I enough wood for heating in my weekend house for this winter? and Is my chainsaw well adjusted for next work? So - no wow at all. --Karelj (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, Laitche. What I tried to do was to get a good shot of the little palace not too long before sunset (i.e. almost during golden hour). The problem with Falkenlust is that it's a) surrounded by trees and b) slightly facing NW, giving the sun a hard time beating the trees, even in fall. ;-) So I hoped (I believe successfully) to compromise: while avoiding harsh, boring midday light that would have fully illuminated the façade, I went there significantly later but still early enough to catch enough light to avert really dark shadows. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info Compaired to many other gifs here, this is a rather timid and unassuming animation. It consists of only ten frames and can therefore be a bit bigger. The selective animation also reduces distortion of colors at smaller sizes. It's a way of showing how animation doesn't have to be very complex to add a nice element to a photo. The photo with dark foreground and bright background, is also "backwards" in reagards to how light is "supposed to be". That is done deliberately since it emphasizes the light signal in the building evening.

Comment This is 1.7 MPx. Any reason for size ? --Mile (talk) 10:43, 25 November 2017 (UTC) p.S. I would do panorama here.[reply]

Talk about GIFs

Mile, it is an animated gif. Please see the info and discussion about such on this page/nom. For an animated gif, you get the right size of the file by multiplying the frame pixels with the number of frames used in the gif. This has ten frames so the actual size is 10 x 1.7 = 17 MPx so it's a rather large gif. Also, I respectfully disagree about the suggested crop, I like to include the whole structure of the crossing (you get a nice diagonal line following the tops of the poles and signs) and the sky adds a bit of drama to the scene. --cart-Talk 10:51, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

cart I did never get Foveon size calculations (cant see EXIF, you bought Sigma ?). Crop is up to taste. But couldnt say for size. That in bottom is more "vectorized" shot of few colors, here is rasterezied shot with much more colors and isnt like schablone of cogs. I dont know if you made it out of video format, but can be shot in normal .jpeg --Mile (talk) 11:17, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I can't understand why the EXIF didn't show up. It was first done in Lightroom then in Photoshop from three original jpegs (didn't you read the file's description?) The entire EXIF is the same as in this file which is one of the jpegs in the gif. Not sure how to add it to this file though, help would be appreciated. The size is at the very top of what normal software can handle for a gif. I made it as large as possible without my program telling me the file was too large to be shown on browsers. Color always gets distorted when you turn a normal photo into gif since that format contains less colors, it's the price you have to pay for using that format. I hope you can see the signal blinking? That is the whole idea behind why I chose this format. --cart-Talk 11:38, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You can put EXIF manually as i did on this .gif. What software did you use, i made this on Adobe, no problems with file size. I see blinking. With pano shot you move more to 16:9 (movie format). --Mile (talk) 13:57, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll take care of that later when I'm home. :) Your gif can be larger because it doesn't have as much information (mostly black) as this one has. I'll see if I can play around with this a bit too. --cart-Talk 14:41, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ok, manual EXIF added and a new version with better sky reworked from the raw originals. I tried to press Photoshop to make a larger gif file but due to the amount of detail in the photos, it wasn't possible. I also fixed a cropped version from Mile's suggestion, but I will not offer it as an "Alt" since I find it boring and without charm. It just exists if someone wants to use it somewhere. --cart-Talk 18:54, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As much as I like this idea, per Benh it was hard to see what was animated about it. It might work if it were just the signal. Daniel Case (talk) 15:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination That's perfectly ok! This was another one of my experiments here, a way of testing a small subtle animation instead of the usual all in spinning/pumping/moving we usually see in gifs. Perhaps someone got an idea from this and will present another better along this line. --cart-Talk 16:26, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you would have to correct the perspective to have a chance to get supporting votes from more people. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:10, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Very interesting architecture and very well captured. The category should be Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture#China. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:47, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, no. It is Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors#China. Does FoP in China apply to this? Yann (talk) 14:52, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you are right on the category. I haven't checked on Chinese FoP rules. Might this interior be copyrighted? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:48, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Besides wires and technical issues, take the same image under a better lighting and cropping a bit tighter and IMO it might work. --Basotxerri (talk) 21:24, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too dark in too many places and the wires are rather distracting. HalfGig talk 21:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't see the wires as a problem only the framing. If you can't avoid wires, then make it about the wires instead. Here you got church, wires, street and building; too many elements. By taking a few steps closer to the church and placing the church in the lower right corner, you'd have got a cool photo of wires looking like they radiated from the church or a web in the sky above the church. I also find it too dark. --cart-Talk 22:13, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: with six opposes and no new supports in five days, this nomination has a snowball's chance in hell

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.

Daniel Case This would have been removed anyway because of the other end of the "5th day rule":
"8. Rules of the 5th day based on vote counts on day number 5 (day of nomination + 5) 1. Pictures are speedy declined if they have no support (apart from the nominator)."
