  • Pictogram voting comment (orange).svg Comment This version in full length is better in my view, if possible with a portrait format, cutting the tree at the right, and symmetrically balanced with the same space at the left. However the branch will be a bit distracting -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:27, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Pictogram voting comment (orange).svg Comment I agree that the branch on the right of the larger image is distracting, which is why I made this crop. I've tried to inpaint it but I think there are too many details to get satisfying results. (Still trying with fancier models but it's taking 5 hours to run and I don't have too much hope that it will work well.) I don't know why I prefer the legs cropped when zooming in that much, I believe that she prefers it too, and in my opinion it's better to have more space on the left because she is looking towards the left and her eye is the only one we can clearly see. What do you think? --Trougnouf (talk) 10:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The other version evokes a kind of Cupid & Psyche romantic painting, while this one seems awkwardly cropped to me, as if the camera was too close -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:47, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Turns out that stable diffusion is really good at inpainting and worth the 5-hours runtime... I've uploaded the least cropped version in case you or anyone would like to give it a shot, and I propose this crop as the new submission. --Trougnouf (talk) 17:03, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Beautiful, evoking mythological reminiscences, as Basile rightly stated, and certainly something fresh. I have no problem with the retouching as long as it’s declared and serves a honourable purpose. --Aristeas (talk) 20:24, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
How do you mean -honourable purpose? The picture was poorly composed; it could easily have been taken a few meters away. Should we allow that much cloning? It is a difficult area, but we run the risk of making the original composition irrelevant. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually if you look a few meters away in the uncropped version you will notice that it was in the shadows and that this spot was pretty ideal (minus a hanging dead tree). Besides, even though we spent some time in front of the tripod, we were moving and not focusing on it when the picture was taken and the emotions we felt at that moment is what I think is FP worthy. I also think that this composition works very well. Trougnouf (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No (and for other reasons), and the source links to a map, not to an image. Where does this image come from? Where can we find it on the web? -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:01, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You can't find it on the web. The source I added is where I download the raw satellite data then use QGIS to make it look normal. I didn't edit the colors, that's just how it looks. ⍨PLib🗣️ 11:39, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The reason I wouldn't support the cropped version is because this content does not impress me as a picture with an extraordinary visual impact. Sorry but I don't find this particular formation awesome. Not all Google satellite captures are spectacular either, to offer a comparison. The strong contrasts are unaesthetic, and the diversity of the colors quite limited. No wow, but it is just my subjectively view, of course. If freely licensed, this image may be educational in some way, but in any case I would suggest to avoid the technically deficient collage -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I think what this needs is a better explanation. I'm intrigued by the image, but I feel like I have to do a bunch of research to make sense of what I'm seeing. — Rhododendrites talk |  13:39, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Here's the image zoomed out. ⍨PLib🗣️ 14:56, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    So it's just a satellite picture of an underwater formation? If so, I don't understand Basile's objection beyond the obvious seam. That obvious separation of tiles is going to prevent this from being featurable, but it's probably fixable. It's not misaligned or warped -- it's just a different tone, which shouldn't be that hard to fix in Photoshop. It's an interesting image with a lot of educational value -- I don't see why it wouldn't be featurable with that fixed. — Rhododendrites talk |  01:45, 7 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Pictogram voting comment (orange).svg Comment The spray looks quite yellow to me. --Milseburg (talk) 14:53, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Yellow. It's about 35 minutes after sunrise given to the EXIF time and location. Can a golden hour sun do that? -- KTC (talk) 21:32, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's golden hour, but the colors are yellowish -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:21, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In general, I would not read too much into the EXIF time and location of photos. GPS locations are often quite inaccurate, if not corrected in post with the help of a good map, and camera clocks are often not exact – for example, I do not care much about the time setting of my cameras, so the EXIF time of my photos is often off by an hour or more :–). Therefore I would not conclude too much from 35 minutes … --Aristeas (talk) 08:00, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals#Class_:_Ascidiacea
  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info
    Red sea squirt (Halocynthia papillosa), Cape Palos, Spain. This species of tunicate, also known as sea peach, occurs at depths of 2 to 100 metres (6.6 to 328.1 ft). It attaches itself to rocks and overhangs, or among Posidonia (seagrass). It can be found in the Northeast Atlantic, Western Pacific, along the Portuguese coast, and the Mediterranean Sea. Halocynthia papillosa is usually about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) high but can reach 20 centimetres (7.9 in). It can contract when disturbed. Note: there is no FPs of the whole order Pleurogona. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Pictogram voting info.svg Info
    Hermit crab (Dardanus calidus) with 3 sea anemones (Calliactis parasitica) on its back, Cape Palos, Spain. This species of crab can grow to a length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) and it uses either large gastropod shells, such as those of Tonna galea and Charonia, which it often decorates with one or more sea anemones of the species Calliactis parasitica. The relationship between the sea anemone and the hermit crab is mutualistic: the sea anemone protects the hermit crab with its stings, and benefits from the food thrown up by the hermit crab's movements. Dardanus calidus is a scavenger, feeding on decaying matter from the sea bed. It has been collected from depths greater than 100 metres (330 ft), but is more typically found in shallower water, and it's spread from the East Atlantic (Portugal to Senegal) and Mediterranean Sea. Note: the shots were taken during a night dive since hermit crab are mostly active then. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:34, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose I don't feel like this meets the criteria for a set nomination; the technical shortcomings may be overpowered by significant wow factor, but I don't see the big whoop on the image to the left. The one on the right has more wow due to the angle/composition, where the crab is facing you. In short, the image on the right might be an FP, but I feel that the left is definitely not.--Peulle (talk) 08:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I don't understand your feedback, Peulle. We have had several sets in the last months with big support where you could see animals (ej. here or here) from 2 angles, I'm doing the same and believe that in this case the front and lateral views are the most illustrative. So, I proposed this set like this because to me it looks like it is a consolidated practice. Poco a poco (talk) 10:21, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • It's just my opinion that the left image is not FP due to technical shortcomings that are not compensated by wow factor. Therefore the set fails, in my opinion, because all images of a set have to succeed.--Peulle (talk) 11:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Ok, sorry, thanks for the clarification, I got you wrong and though that the set itself was an issue for you. Let's see though how it goes. Poco a poco (talk) 14:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I'm not a biologist, Charlesjsharp, but if you google a bit (good source here) you can read that it is actually like that, the crab is the one in lead, chooses the anemones and arranges them on the shell. Poco a poco (talk) 10:21, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As a consequence it's really the last element one notices when looking at this image, after the flags, the beam, and the blurry eye-catching facade.

  • I wasn't ping but still have an opinion. I prefer the portrait version much better and would support it (I abstain here). By the way, is there anything you can do to improve the overexposed areas on the head? Poco a poco (talk) 08:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Pictogram voting comment (orange).svg New version uploaded - A few supported the portrait shot, and nobody expressed a preference for landscape, so I went ahead and reinstated the crop. As for the head, no -- not without adding something that wasn't actually there, anyway. The sun was bright, but it landed briefly unusually close to me and on a stick that actually provided some separation from the reeds (and wasn't backlit by the empty sky), so I'm happy with it anyway. :) — Rhododendrites talk |  12:51, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Relief over the entrance on the north façade of Edificio Grassy (Gran Vía 1), Madrid

  • Pictogram voting comment (orange).svg Comment An interesting photo, but here we see the difference between Commons and, e.g., Flickr. ;–) On Flickr a title like Somewhere in Madrid would work well; on Flicker redundant and vague tags are the rule, not the exception. Here on Commons, however, people (including me) immediately ask “Where in Madrid? What building is this? What kind of architectural element? From what epoch?” etc. For learning by example I have tried to improve the categories a bit, but for a useful filename, description, and proper categorization we would need to know what exactly this photo shows … --Aristeas (talk) 09:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Pictogram voting comment (orange).svg Comment And adding some tentative categories really helps. After browsing Architectural elements in Madrid and the best-matching subcategories for 3 minutes, I have already learnt that this photo shows the relief over the central entrance at the north façade of the Edificio Grassy, 1 Gran Vía, built 1916–1917. Here are more photos of that building; this photo shows the north façade and we can notice the entrance with the number 1; this photo shows exactly the same relief over that entrance. I do not report this here to boast — on the contrary, I’ve never been to Madrid, I’m sure other people would have figured it out even faster. I just want to show that we can use Commons itself to indentify such photos. Now if the photographer could please clarify the caption of his nice picture and add the categories (hint: you can copy the categories of this picture almost 1:1), I would also like to vote for this photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • So “somewhere in Madrid” is more or less exactly at 40.41916, -3.698052. Please add {{Object location|40.41916|-3.698052}}to the description of the photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:35, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • GA candidate.svg Weak support Taking a look at the map shows that it should have been possible to take a photo from a larger distance. But on the other hand the intentionally low angle and the black-and-white add an air of mystery to the portal, making this photo much more moving that most plain photos of that building. --Aristeas (talk) 07:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support per Aristeas. I like the angle and think there's room for this as well as straighter-on shots that look more like File:Madrid - Edificio Grassy (Gran Vía 1) 07.jpg. Aristeas, thanks for taking care of things I think it would have been better for Tomascastelazo to attend to prior to nominating the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:32, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Edit, moved my comment to the left to emphasise it's a reply to Aristeas'. Sorry Charles :) But thank you for the pun explanation!

Tree canopy in relic forest. Kurdzhips Canyon, Western Caucasus.
Harsh light sounds odd here. A landscape or an object can be harsh lit under midday sun, but dense canopy which itself is diffusing, scattering, reflecting and dispersing the light, when photographed from the ground is bright at best. I would refer to tree canopies like this as 'bright and magical' but certainly not harsh lighted. Apart from the sunlight here is already subdued by scattered clouds. This place is special because not too many forest habitats are that old in the world. --Argenberg (talk) 13:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
An ordinary tree does not become spectacular just because it's old, unfortunately. At least this picture does not reflect this peculiarity. Concerning the light, I maintain it's harsh, with strong contrasts. I've added notes to show were the blurry foreground is the most distracting. Too narrow depth of field. There is no visible sun rays like in File:Bruderwald-Herbst-026375.jpg for example. Not the best time of the day for shooting in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It’s a matter of taste. I find this scene spectacular with all the twists, curves, moss and old lichen. Old forests (over 300 years old) almost always do look spectacular to most people and you have to appreciate nature to find beauty in such scenes. You seem to have low tolerance for contrast. Harsh is usually associated with something undesirable like blown-out highlights or something, which is not the case here as the dynamical range is effectively preserved. The blurriness that you highlighted is natural in photography. Those are out-of-focus areas and I believe it does not have to be everything in focus in dense forest. You can play with out-of-focus areas and add them to the mix if it feels right. I don’t quite remember, but it is possible I intentionally placed those low-hanging branches in frame to grant it more depth and a spontaneous feel and to balance the composition. --Argenberg (talk) 12:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, so sorry to say that the more I look at your picture, the more the issues mentioned above embarrass me. So maybe it's not worth trying to convince me. I honestly think this image is not spectacular. Even though it is a great forest to walk through. I don't know, good for the planet, but photographically, no wow in my subjective view. Black shadows, wrong focus. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:36, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Of course you can have your point of view and your own subjective perception. I wasn’t trying to convince you actually. It was an attempt to describe what deems limiting to me. What I forgot to mention is that out-of-focus areas in frame can also add presence (in addition to perceived depth and spontaneity) to the scene to acquire more immersive and less stagy experience/appearance. It is commonly practiced in cinematography and photography. They can also be an artistic element in the composition on its own. By the way, the shadows on the left look pleasantly dark on my display, which is professionally calibrated, not black. Yes, someone may probably find the shadows dark, but if I were to lift them the image would then loose some natural dynamics and would become flat, I guess. Thanks for comments, anyway. --Argenberg (talk) 17:07, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No, lifting the shadows wouldn't be a good idea. They are originally dark, not because my screen is badly calibrated, but because the photo was taken in the middle of the day, at 13:14. Harsh light = harsh contrasts = hard shadows -- Basile Morin (talk) 17:32, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • GA candidate.svg Weak support Thank you for your constructive discussion. Blurred objects as distractors can add plasticity to a scene.
