  •  Question - Why did you nominate it if you oppose a feature? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:22, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ikan_Kekek because I wanted to know what's the wow of this picture and what's the reason of the first award of WLM. now I realized that I overestimated WLM and the judgement. I understood beauty of picture, sharpness, focusing , blurring , ca, blown section, no detail in shadow, perspective correction, framing and composition are not important to jury. --Amirpashaei (talk) 14:02, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Amirpashaei, you are right in that the juries of WLM sometimes make very strange choices and it does you credit to see that. A win in that competition does not guarantee that the photo will be an FP. But if you look at the rest of the photos in lower placings, you will always find very good pictures to nominate here. Many FPs are picked from around 5-20th place. Go with what you feel is right when you make nominations, that is always better. --Cart (talk) 15:10, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Amirpashaei, I agree with Cart here. WLM is an unusual competition that seems to be judged fairly randomly, paying little attention to image quality and much more emphasis on immediate visual wow. Lots of the winners have poor image quality, oversaturated colours etc. But there are usually a few gems hiding within the majority of mediocre shots. I found and nominated these three FPs by looking through WLM regional finalists, and all three passed with strong margins. Cmao20 (talk) 15:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I sent 27 pictures to wml and 10 of them got FP and 4 of them selected as 10 best pictures from iran. But in surprise none of them could award 1 to 15 in wml. heritage office in iran don't care to good pictures and they don't want to spend any budget on it. I wanted to impress them by that. my goal was professional photographing from iran's heritage in 1-2 years. I nominated my pictures as FP for reaching this goal. by the way my job is architectural photographer and if I want to photographing heritage instead restaurant and houses I need to money to spend it in this way. now I'm upset why I overestimated wml and judgement.--Amirpashaei (talk) 15:43, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • [Edit conflict] Yes, this has been discussed before, more on the talk page than in FPC noms but sometimes here, too. I would similarly say that the best photos, from the viewpoint of FPC regulars, in the monthly photo challenges are only sometimes in the top three. Often, they're further down the list. Now and then, 2 of the top 3 or, I think on at least one occasion (not sure, though), even all 3 of them are excellent and have passed at FPC too. It's more common for the top 3 to be QIs, but quite often, some of them are too small or unsharp/noisy/weird in perspective to be remotely close to QIs, yet they placed 1st or 2nd in the photo challenge. My feeling is that WLM and the Photo challenge are good places to look for interesting photos by photographers whose works in some cases haven't been represented among FPs and are deserving, but you should use your own judgment about which photos seem deserving to you. I might nominate one that's interesting and I think might or might not pass, but I wouldn't nominate one I've already decided is not an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:46, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • My sympathies, Amirpashaei. Iran is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and fortunately, it is well represented among FPs. Poco took quite a few FPs during his trip to Iran a few years ago, and others have taken others. But I haven't the slightest doubt that there's a lot more out there to take breathtaking photographs of. Don't spend beyond your means to do it, but we'll be here to look at whichever photos you nominate. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
