Info created by minoan painters - photographed, uploaded and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 11:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Support More paintings ? This one is fabulous IMO, one of the art masterpieces of the western culture. From Knossos, Crete, typical wall fresco of the Minoan civilization, the cretan Bronze Age (around 1600 BCE). It shows young athletes playing by jumping over a bull, with an enthusiastic spectator. The "sport spirit" existed 3500 years ago. This is the original, on display at the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion. A reconstruction can be seen in the Knossos palace. -- Jebulon (talk) 11:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)- Support Surely!

Comment Never though it would be FI. Jebulon are you sure it has correct WB? As far as I remember (and see in the various pictures) the fresco was warmer (and a little paler) colours. --C messier (talk) 13:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for comment and question. The museum presentation is entirely new, since the end of 2014. The lighting is different (and better) too. Beware of the "various pictures", some are photographs of copies. I did not "push buttons" of the post-processing software very much, because in addition of the electric light, one have a very good natural light through the ceiling in this new room. So... Well, maybe I'm wrong, but this is my proposal. (what do you mean by "FI" ?)--Jebulon (talk) 16:11, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- I mean as I remembered it from my visit a week before yours. I took a photo of it too, although it had some motion blur, but it had warmer colours, without postprocessing. Do you think its worth to upload it just to compare? FI = Featured Image --C messier (talk) 12:55, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Please do so if you want ! But "without postprocessing" does not necessarily mean "absolutely pure". The camera plays his own role too.IMO there is no objectivity with colors...--Jebulon (talk) 21:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- OK, File:Τοιχογραφία Ταυροκαθάψια 6383.JPG. I agree that WB is (within same degree) a matter taste. --C messier (talk) 09:10, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- Way much different, indeed. Do you think I should reduce saturation and/or contrast ?--Jebulon (talk) 15:43, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- As I said, it is the WB which I think is wrong. Increasing saturation and (especially) contrast can make the photo more vivid, so I don't think it will be an improvement. --C messier (talk) 07:28, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- I wrote "reduce", not "increase" !!--Jebulon (talk) 09:36, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, and I said, that IMHO, it wouldn't help. --C messier (talk) 21:02, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- C messier Better ?--Jebulon (talk) 17:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Jebulon, IMHO original one is better. Don't think and the problem was saturation or contrast (at least not something worth mentioning). IHMO, only WB is a bit off towards the blue (light in the museum is warmer than Tungsten). --C messier (talk) 18:06, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- C messier OK, back to the previous version. Let's stop this unproductive discussion.--Jebulon (talk) 18:27, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
