Comment I realise this is Wales, and thus a bit foggy :) but the photo still looks under-exposed to me. TimVickers 17:42, 27 August 2008 (UTC) - Decline Only ~1.3M pixels and that is too bad; the foggy day and the atmosphere are good and the presence of people in the image tells me that you did not use my dads method of getting a perfect photograph of a train which should be good. Sorry about the size. -- carol 19:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

-
- Nomination A diesel locomotive at the Teifi Valley Railway. Mattbuck 21:57, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Decline Nice composition. However, this image has less than 2 megapixel which is one of the requirements. Besides, the red of the locomotive is somewhat noisy and I would expect an identification of the Diesel locomotive in the image's description if it is the main motive. --AFBorchert 20:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
-
- Nomination Kajakfahrer :-) --Böhringer 20:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I wish I could have - 200/sec with a 300mm lens handheld was the limit I could get to with no camera shake - tried flash but it looked poor.....must get a good tripod - Peripitus 05:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

better now? light was really difficult in the streets of Mergozzo) --Mbdortmund 21:43, 25 August 2008 (UTC) -- Better now, the composition really compesantes for the flaws. With a better exposure choice a larger DOF could also be achieved... -- Alvesgaspar 22:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
-
- Nomination Boletus edulis --Kosiarz-PL 19:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

- Decline This is a cool photograph! You must have had the camera already out and almost ready for this image? It fails every single QI requirement but I am not going to decline it so it can stay on this page for a while. If there were a cool photograph review thing like this QI one, it should be one of the best.... -- carol 01:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Flare, overexposure, main topic too small. Lycaon 15:08, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
It only passes the QI size requirements, but this is one of the few honestly cool images we see here. And difficult to get! Probably rarer than a lightning photograph. -- carol 08:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Dortmund, Liebfrauenkirche, doves on the church door --Mbdortmund 00:05, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Ok, this might be getting ridiculous, but why downsample when the sharpness is so good. Here it is: a 117 Megapixel panoramic image of the Chicago skyline. (P.S.: I finally cleaned my sensor!) --Dschwen 22:52, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- Promotion So, you went back to Chicago, maybe the best place in the world for shooting buildings! Remember when, a long time ago, I used to oppose your panos for some milimetric stitching errors? Well, i guess i became soft with age... BTW, how did you clean your sensor? -- Alvesgaspar 23:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC), Hm, I spent quite some time on this baby (needed to make extensive use of vertical guides), but I haven found any glitches so far. For cleaning the sensor I use the lint free kimwipes and methyl alcohol (don't use any other kind, it'll leave stains!), I wrapped the kimwipe around a piece of teflon, that is soft enough not to scratch the sensor and makes a nice handle to clean the sensor with one broad swipe. --Dschwen 00:14, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Nothing ridiculous about this picture. Thanks for uploading this kind of quality images. Would you mind adding some info on how the image was constructed to the image's page? Lycaon 09:15, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
The neck strap must be taking the place of a tripod. Could it please be larger? -- carol 09:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC), The neck strap is aleady pretty large (it's one of the red cannon ones), or are you talking about my neck? Workout isn't doing it for me. --Dschwen 13:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
No, the image. Heh. Lets see how long to keep this beauty here, eh? -- carol 14:48, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

- Nomination Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie Earl of Merioneth. Mattbuck 00:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

That pillar on the right corner is suboptimal too (watch the corners!).

- Nomination Organ of St. Paulin, Trier, Germany (New photographed) --Berthold Werner 18:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- Promotion Most of the time, photographing organs is not easy at all. Or they stand on dark places, or tey are in a contre-jour situation, as is the case here. This explains why some of the windows are blown white (which is almost inevitable). But the light on the main subject is well balanced, and sharpness and composition are O.K. So, for me this is a QI. -- MJJR 18:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Lycaon 06:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC), Maybe because you have a kink in your pupil? ;-) Seriously, the perspective is slightly undercorrected (100% looks too artificial IMO). Everything in th right half of the frame is slightly leaning left. --Dschwen 18:33, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Good exposure and composition. The perspective correction is very good because the total amount is not too high (I guess below 18°) and not overcorrected (leave 1-2°) --Ikiwaner 06:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, but when I rotated it a degree & then tried another degree, it really didn't look right... the water is level in this version. In looking at other images, I think the tower itself is tilted -- a lesson learned from building towers in the middle of a river, I suppose? --Thisisbossi 01:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC) No It's not. The image is leaned 0.6° to the left and has a perspective distortion of 6°. How to measure? Open the image in Hugin and set many vertical control points. Then optimize and you get the angles. Is the tower specially tilted? No, not measurable. The control points on the tower have about the same error as the others. --Ikiwaner 18:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
It's like you're speaking a different language! I tried figuring out Hugin, but I couldn't even figure out what to download from the website. :P --Thisisbossi 22:45, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Demanding this shouldn't become an automatism, otherwise we might as well have the bot review the images. The perspective seems fine to me. --Dschwen 15:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC) Comment I'd go for corrected perspective too in order to remove grid noise. The top crop seems too tight to me. –Dilaudid 12:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
It doesn`t look natural here. The statue on the left is titted to the right. The lamp is tilted to the right. But nice composition anyway. --Sfu 20:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Uploaded a corrected version. I think that, when concerning modern buildings, perspective should be always corrected. Only people who saw the buildings themselvs can be shure wich walls are straight, wich not. Maby not really shure, but they know this better, in a way. --Sfu 07:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC) After some thinking and despite the beautiful light I will have to Oppose this due to the overly tight crop. –Dilaudid 19:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

- Support Quality images do not have to be "outstanding". As far as composition is concerned it is sufficient if it is not terribly wrong. In this case I would say it is about average. Some would say it is above the average, some would say it is below. But in my view in no way the composition is such so that it would disqualify the image as far as quality image status is concerned.

- See our guidelines for assessing quality images. Composition and cropping are related and largely technical matters that affect eg. how the image can be used.

- weak Oppose - i think the irregular ( as in, not coming from the same direction) lighting comes from the form of the white plate that refects the light. wich as result removes a bit of the "volume" feeling on the sugar cubes wich then again oposes to the defined volume and light reflections on the plate. another reason to oppose is the amount of background (plate) without any real information to the main subject (sugar).the composition is interesting. ( as in unusual, and nothing to do with technical merit but still worth mentioning it ;) )-LadyofHats 21:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- weak Comment Technically if the lighting were not so unusual, the ratio of the image would be technically wrong -- half and half or less, not into three. Technical is how images are judged here, so if you can find even a weak link that explains your problem in more technical terms, it would assist not only your reputation for reviewing but also educate others in the technical aspects of photography. -- carol (talk) 09:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

- Comment It is a holoparasite, so no green leaves, only the reddish vine and the flowers. Always a very chaotic plant if you want to 'catch' more than the flowers alone. It often starts of on Urtica dioica (nettle) or the larger Fabaceae but tends to spread out and engulf several different species in the process. Other species are quite host-specific.

Not if it's done properly. Many HDR tone-mapping programs oversautrate the image to compensate for the lack of contrast caused when the HDR goes to low-DR in order to be saved as a jpeg. BTW, if this is indeed an exposure-blended image, it would be nice to indicate so on the image page. Thegreenj 19:29, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the insightful reply. I mostly use a GIMP script, sometimes I try to do it manually (complicated). All my HDR photos are tagged as such in the filename. Isn't that sufficient? Adamantios 21:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

The only reason i tend to mention other images when qualifying them is to give guideness in what is better than what. so that users can improve their images ( the actual objective of QI, i believe). ofcourse the only exception to this would be two really identical images -LadyofHats 10:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Where as FP is a dynamic process thats always looking for the best available today, if something better comes along tomorrow then the old is removed. Gnangarra 13:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

- Comment in my opinion this photo is a little tilt --Pudelek 21:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but this picture is not tilted. First, you don't see the horizon line because of the mountains. Second, the mountains are not the same high everywhere and are not at the same distance from me (the photographer), so you can't use it. The only part of the horizon that is usable (horizon with only the sea) is on the right of the photo, and there there's no problem, it's perfectly horizontal. I think the clouds are responsible of an optical effect while they are mostly on the left of the picture. Sanchezn 12:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

- Do you mean contemporary b&w images are out of the project scope? --Ikiwaner 19:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- this is not a contemporary B&W photograph, it is a de-saturated digital color image, and as such is less valuable than the original version. Ianare (talk) 04:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- You seem not to have understood a few things. There is no original version because I shoot raw. And I did not use the desaturation method but the channel mixer to choose those colours which should appear brighter or darker in the image. This adds to the image. Why do you wish colour in this image? The sky is very grey already and the church as the main subject is basically grey too. What remains coloured is the grass which looks dull because of the heavy clouds. This image as a colour photograph would sure not be a QI in my eyes. Photography often is about reducing your means to the minimum you need. That's why I shoot b&w unless colour really adds to the image. Maybe in a few years and some hundred images on Commons you'll understand that. --Ikiwaner 17:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Just be cautious and sure you've got the right equipment : water and eventually some food, good walking shoes and long trousers (scorias are very sharp), protection against sun exposure, coldness and rain (weather may change very quickly). Since the main crater has collapsed in april 2007 and its access has been forbidden, visitors have been invited to go to this other place instead. Of course general access is denied when there is an imminent eruption hazard. You're welcome. --B.navez 08:56, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

- can you explain, it was a cloudy day so the sky wasnt blue, what part of the sky isnt sharp? Gnangarra 15:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

- I don't think that a bat trap in a well lit location would be believable or function as that. So, of course the sky is a little too light (what little there is) compared to the dark of the woods/forest. The brightness of the sky could be dimmed without touching the subject parts of the image if this were that much of a concern. -- carol (talk) 05:42, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose the main subject is not in focus. dommage, c'était bien vu... Ianare 15:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support The image is on the softer side, but well within acceptable range in my opinion. The remote building on the hill might be affected by the haze a bit. That is not the photographer's mistake, just the existing conditions. Barabas 21:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- There is little haze on the Côte d'Azur. The air is typically very dry (even next to the sea), and wind takes care of any lingering pollution... To me it looks like the image was simply taken without a tripod, which at that focal length & timing is necessary. Furthermore, the building directly in the foreground is in better focus (though still soft), clearly an error on the photographer's part. This is a shame since the composition is very attractive. However, I don't think that church will be going anywhere soon, so a re-take should be easy. -- Ianare 23:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Then there is no choice but suicide myself with shame for lacking focus. But you're right and wrong : that day was humid, there was some haze, but I also had no tripod. Stephanemartin (talk) 15:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

- Info i aded a white background, hadnt noticed that it disapeared after the mark of the crop area-LadyofHats 13:43, 17 August 2008
- Oppose No, it's highly inaccurate, and I pointed out some small number of inaccuracies before this was put up here for Quality Image. The skin of this fruit, for example, has a peripheral vascular network that is not connected with the plant's vascular system. Highly unusual, botanically speaking. --Blechnic 14:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)(UTC)
- Comment Information not entirely checked nor corrected (see on discussion page)--B.navez 16:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I've searched through the remarks on the talk page and am having difficulty understanding exactly what Blechnic finds inaccurate and specifically what this user expects to be fixed. For instance, the concerns about the peripheral vascular network on the grape skin being "disconnected" seem irrelevant to me, a non-botanist, but perhaps I'm just assuming they're connected somewhere I'm not seeing. Not sure how important that is to the diagram to see that, but I'm sure it can be fixed if it's absolutely critical. It doesn't make the diagram "incorrect" however, merely less comprehensive as it could be. I don't think anything is going to satisfy Blechnic, judging by this user's comments here on Commons, on Meta, and on the Greenspan email list. Bastique 18:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support its reflective/accurate based on what is in the 7 sources quoted, the illustration is clear and meets the requirements of QI. I dont see any alternative sourcing quoted in the discussion to that shows there is any flaws ro problems with the image. two thing that would be nice but dont affect QI one is a small area of transparance at the bottom of the image, and the other is to number the areas so that multilingual keys could be use rather then just an english language image.

scars of the stamens around the pedicelnot always visible and scar of the stigma at the tip. “Locule” instead of “locular cavity” would be simpler Done. I am not sure there is endosperm anymore in mature seeds.yes there is --B.navez 10:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC) signature for the corrections : --B.navez 13:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC) - Support The reality of the color is largely irrelevant, as this is a diagram, and accurately depicts what it is intended. It is useful and gorgeous, and I am comfortable that it meets the criteria for QI. Bastique 23:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

As to perspective, there are programs that can make the perspective more "correct" than this, for example DxO. I'm not familiar with any of them, though. Thegreenj 20:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

- Info That is because is does not need perspective correction. I even went back to the same place to check it myself, because I was not sure either. If you look at the light poles in the lower right corner you can notice that they do not lean to the right. If you're still not convinced, I would like to see a perspective correction from your hand. --Massimo Catarinella 11:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I even suggest that the photographer withdraw the nomination as a show of approving his own standards. -- carol (talk) 03:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

- I'm sorry to bring this here, since it's irrelevant, but if that's the case for VI then why was this Commons:Valued image candidates/Macropus-parma-parma-wallaby.jpg declined? It's still the only picture on commons of this creature. Adamantios 09:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- I assume the user who opposed that image did it based on VI-criterion 3. It looks to me that all other criteria were fulfilled. VI hasn't got the number of reviewers yet as QI or FP, so discussions are still rare and images are often assessed based on the opinion of a single users (I know, cause I fought a 'battle' there recently). But you're right this is irrelevant here ;-). Lycaon 09:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- The standard I use here was set for QI by this photographer -- a standard that I like, btw. It is not like the QI galleries or categories are in need of images so the technical bar can stay as high as the photographer himself put it. I even suggest that the photographer withdraw the nomination as a show of approving his own standards. -- carol (talk) 03:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose The background shows compression.
Also, I guess the flower may be overexposed.Crapload 03:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I can live with critiques like Carol's, but this is absolute nonsense. Lycaon 08:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I am of the opinion that it is quite possible to live with nonsense reviews; even suffering through them alone! I have done this for about one third of my nominations here and I assure you that I am very much still alive. Is it actually possible to live with a positive critique??? -- carol (talk) 10:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- No compression artefacts. Processed from RAW and then saved with a maximal jpg size. Lycaon 09:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support Enough for QI. --Kosiarz-PL 10:11, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support Indeed I like the short DOF. I think it underlines the flower's curves. Stephanemartin 22:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
