[edit] Desaturation?

Hi Acarpentier,
Why the desat on Image:Female Mallard Duck.jpg and others? IMO it looks much worse than what it would look like in full colour. Also if you are selectively desaturating the bg you should make a note of it on the image page... Thanks, --Fir0002 www 21:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm adjusting images to improve them look more clean: Sharpness, Colors, Levels, etc... like most of the work people do here... but on the duck, it's not very different... making the subject a bit more interesting and clear. But can you please send me an official commons wikimedia document link where I can find this guideline? I will conform all my work to it if it's not... Thanks ;) Acarpentier 23:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure if there is a guideline (probably is) but digitally manipulated images are generally tagged as such (see Category:Retouched pictures). But my main issue is that of aesthetics - of course you can freely disagree with my opinion, but the selective desaturating you are doing is not actually helping to isolate the picture and ends up creating a very unaesthetic image. Generally nature shots, such as the mallard duck, will have lots of stimulating greens etc which really improve overall colouration (esp when the colouration of the bird is rather drab). Furthermore it is distracting because you are continually thinking - that's not real is it? Also by not completely desaturating it gives a very muddy appearance to things like water and ground etc. The effect you are using (again IMO) is best suited to creating very stark contrast - eg Image:Schindlers list red dress.JPG. You need a strong colour to contrast with the bleakness of the b/w bg --Fir0002 www 06:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure to understand everything here but one thing I've remarked in this community waz that most of the people actually prefer and propose to manipulate the image, even when in Featured Picture Candidate for exemple. For exemple, I remember of a statue taken at night where the background where blured selectively to reduse the noise. I'm wondering how far is it ok to go considering that the more post-production is asked,the less the photography is what it is... I dont know if you follow my question, I'm actually very new in photography, and my english not very well i know...Acarpentier 13:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I consider my self pretty liberal with manipulation - for instance I have no problem with (well done) cloning if it improves an image. But generally I would be concerned with an image which would be impossible to obtain in real life. As is the case with selective desaturation. I mean with cloning you can easily have removed that soft drink can manually, with noise you might have used a lower ISO (and you don't see the noise with your eyes anyway) etc etc. Also the most important factor for me (because AFAIC you can desaturated if you want as long as it's tagged as such) is the aesthetics - has the edit improved the image? And that was the biggest issue I had/have with your selective desaturation. I much prefer the color in these shots --Fir0002 www 09:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

By the way it's not really a desaturation issue but a color filter one. That's not really important i guess, but what I see here is one isolated personal opinion that is not really agreed by others, so I dont want to offend you but I have to go with the majority. And please send me a commons link with the guideline that goes with what you are telling me? cause if I'm following you, we should tag almost 99% of images here as Retouched pictures...Acarpentier 14:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't have that much time at the moment (exams) to dig through guidelines etc, but I'm pretty sure there's a link on Category:Retouched pictures --Fir0002 www 09:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] that blue heron and the quality images candidates

I love that image. I really love it. I loved it when I saw it in the New Images gallery.

I am not often scared. Like how people jump when they see something they didn't expect. I was driving once and a blue heron flew overhead, while I was sheltered in the car even and it really scared me! It seriously took up some sky area. Then I did what I could to watch it (I was driving at the same time so it was complicated) and it was the most beautiful thing, flying around like they do.

The image is also like one I saw and loved in the Flickr stream. I used it here: http://carol.gimp.org/GIMP/2007/Sep/mmm-good.png

So, it looked like a 'set up' situation to me. I am really growing sick and tired of that feeling of being set up. Forgive me if it was not a set up. It is supposed to be about Quality Images though and not about who supports what image. Oh, and that little thing on the wiki pages right now about the number of people who have donated -- that makes me a little hesitant to start with the supporting and voting and disproving there. Don't you think it is better to let the people who have been doing that keep on doing it until the drive is over?

It is a great photograph. It is much better than the one in the Featured Pictures -- I don't know what everyone is doing here. I do hope that everyone knows what they are doing. I know what I am going to do though, that is respectfully stay out of it until things simmer down some.

Can't you get one of your buddies who always votes with you to approve it? -- carol 00:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

• He he he, I understand what you mean. This bird hang out at 5 minutes from my home and I go watch it twice a week, and everytime he jump from nowhere and scare me, lol. Of course he fly a bit then land not far from where I am. I think I've spoted his nest. He also have the female (or the male) there. For the steam you talk about about people in here, dont botter that I'm here for about 1 month and it look like fight never end. I think some people are sad about there life or just bored and they just bitch or something like that... I dont take things personally here (Even if someone could contradict me on that point, wish would not surprise me! he he he). Anyway for the vote on my pic, do what you feel, I dont really have any buddies here (I'm new). By the way, this waz really funny ;) Acarpentier 00:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Female Mallard Duck Rest 2.jpg

[edit] Confessions:

1. Today, I couldn't stop looking at that line on her rear quarter. Then I looked at the first image. The line there goes to the water and the reflection starts where it 'enters' the water. On this newer version, the reflection starts some other place -- not where the line enters the water. I started to think about the photoshop tutorials I have read on how to make a photograph look like a reflection.
2. Yesterday, I left a comment on the thumbnail -- there were somethings in my real life that the image was not unlike and leaving that comment felt good. I did not look at either the image page thumbnail nor the full sized original. I did drink some tequila and also some weird tonic that has some alcohol in it -- not enough to affect my ability to walk though.
3. None of the religions I was schooled in believe or encourage confessions.

[edit] the image(s)

They are beautiful but do you think they are up to FP?

[edit] other images and the people who inspired them

I am going to see the inspiration for http://carol.gimp.org/GIMP/2007/Sep/mmm-good.png today. This person was quite scary for most of the nineties (whenever I saw anything from them) and has a thing for birds.

I am being sorry that I did not follow through with supporting the heron (who had feet). Hmm, should this become another confession? -- carol 19:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hmm... are you ok?

All of this is a joke right? You have a strange attitude, he he he.. very scary... ;) Acarpentier 17:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

heh, actually 'ok' is a friend of mine for the last few years so I am unable be ok ever again. Actually he has actually been a friend for longer than he has been ok -- but that is too long and boring of a story.

About your image of Montreal at night. It is very beautiful. You should consider waiting a couple of years and submitting it as Los Angeles at night since those LA people seem to make themselves and that location to be whatever the hell they want to at the moment. -- carol 18:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

He he, well your friend 'ok' seems a good programmer... this AJAX/Apache thing is a great idea... ;) Acarpentier 18:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Now that you understand that I am not and cannot be ok, I have something that is (although difficult to explain) somewhat related that is really bothering me. This man signed a book for me at a conference held by these people. The man who signed that book is not the man who is in that photograph. The show I saw last night, and the spoken word entertainer was entertaining was 'presented by' someone (or group) called 'Paul Graham' -- carol 02:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

What does using that AJAX stuff do for you? It gives me the feeling that the internet is being edited as I look at it. It is not a very good feeling. Can you explain what has happened that web pages cannot just go online any longer?

Also, what is so good about that 'AJAX/Apache' thing? Is it another way to abuse an already wrong situation? Perhaps it is good and exposes other abusers. If you could expand on what the additional software does for you and ultimately, how it will improve the lives of people using the internet honestly -- it might help me to feel better about the time I have spent in a very wrong situation. -- carol 23:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, for me and my client, Ajax haz come up with realy good interface with rapid results, for exemple one of my current project use it to reload a search result so if there is no match because you've added a criteria, well you dont have to get back, change the parameters and submit again... well this is an exemple but I could enum hundreds of exemple..

Fast drivers? heh. Thanks for the explanation. -- carol 08:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Honestly

• • Thank you for your message, Acarpentier. I know excatly what you are talking about. I fealt this way too, yet it is not why I've left Commons. My not exactly polite behavior with you was not the first incident I had. As a matter of fact I came to conclusion that I should have been blocked for the things I said and done, which upset other users, but everybody were very kind to me and I was never blocked. So I kind of blocked myself just to cool off a bit and to come back to my scenes. A moth has past and I believe it would be safe for me to come back now. I love Commons. Of course I will not nominate my images on FP and/or Quality. (I hope I would be able to keep this promice)
    I was watching your contributions very closely. You take beautiful images: many of them got quality promotions and some got or going to get FP status. Congratulations! I also like that you take it easy and never posting not polite comments as I did. It is the way to go on FP nominations. So, I urge you to continue to contribute to Commons no matter what. Best.--Mbz1 16:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I understand... also think you could re-submit QI and FP again since a lot of people are asking you to come back. Hey thanks a lot by the way, I think I'm improving fast because of Commons ;) Acarpentier 20:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About ducks and the french

First, an apology. I am frustrated with things French because of the simple fact that when I became involved with things like this I wanted to see the world and my little project became all français, in spite of the fact that people are able to think beyond their origins. I am sorry about my recently acquired bigotry.

I took some photographs of ducks here in California. They are on my web site and nothing noteworthy. The situation in which they appeared here is noteworthy, however. Locally, there is one stream (they call it a river). It is clean and nice but rather small and very difficult to get to, due to the foliage. Where I lived for more than 4 decades there are a lot of lakes, streams, rivers and with those, ducks. The ducks that appeared here were walking on the sidewalks as the human pedestrians do. I was very very confused (40 years of me going to where ducks live to see them) by their appearance here and went to get them some water. It is perhaps .5 to 1 km away from that stream here.

I was attempting to tell the native who is here about how interesting it is when ducks eat (in their native environment and not in this pedestrian place) and there were not many images of that sight -- of ducks eating, on this great big internet when I looked then.

Such an image would be better for many situations than an image of hot sausage, in my most humble opinion.

My question is, do you have an image like that of ducks eating? If so, do not feel that you must upload it right away. But ducks are cool, charming and funny, when seen at the location of their choice. A movie of them eating (not bread from a human hand but from the lake or river or stream) would be even better, in my opinion. I think I laughed as much when I saw that in my third decade of being alive as I did when I saw it in my first decade. -- carol 02:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey thanks for comment, yeah I have some of them while eating but it's sort of funny because they are upside down in the water, lol. I'll upload one this weekends. ;) Acarpentier 17:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• It won't last long, the quality is mediocre and I've put an FPX template on it. Nevertheless, whether we like it or not, it is a valid nomination ;-). Lycaon 14:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for following it Lycaon. Acarpentier 14:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Ce que je voulais dire c'est que tu ne pouvais décider seul de retirer cette nomination de la liste (surtout que tu ne sembles pas être un admin). J'accepte tout à fait que la nomination soit rejetée mais dans le respect des procédures (ce qui est fait depuis et je ne m'en plains pas!). J'espère avoir été mieux compris. Cordialement. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 17:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

PS: félicitations pour tes belles photos. Je me souviens en avoir appuyé certaines en QI...

Je comprends. Merci pour le compliment, j'essaies toujours de m'améliorer. -- Acarpentier 20:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
