The Xiasheng Empress Dowager official portrait on her 60th birthday

Too much like a statue? What do you want her to do, dance a jig? I don't understand this voting system, how does a grainy b&w photograph like Image:Stalin-Lenin-Kalinin-1919.jpg get votes, but this image not, how is this voting system based? Gryffindor 09:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant by that was that the painting doesn't seem to capture the personality of the empress dowager. She's just sitting there, looking straight ahead at the artist with a blank look on her face. I don't know if that happens to be characteristic of paintings of Chinese monarchs or what, but it just doesn't grab me. (You'll also note that I opposed the Stalin-Lenin picture too).

Sorry, you should try Commons:Quality images candidates first! --Beyond silence 19:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I am intrigued by the interference pattern of all the circular small water waves. Is this a wild-life shot? I suggest you add geodata to the photo. The photo is not thaat sharp, and all this water gives a subjective feeling of blurriness leaving the impression of a slightly messy composition. I cannot make up my mind on what to vote on it though. I would like to give an additional comment. I do not like sarcastic comments and personal attacks rearding other reviewers evaluations as above. There seems to an uprising of harsh sarcastic comments like that, which are not in the spirit of the guidelines stating that you should always be polite. I too do not always agree with other reviewers opinions and often shake my head. However, I propose either to ignore reviews you cannot approve of or give a more balanced reply. In the end single wrong evaluations does not normally influence the end result as normally quite a lot of users vote on FPC, which averages out anomalies. The rules state that any Commons user is entitled to vote on and have an opinion on the photos here. It is not stated that you should have qualified as a reviewer somehow. -- Slaunger 20:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You get out what you put in, just my opinion. No robots here. --Richard Bartz 20:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Slaunger, It is a wildlife shot, hanging from a manglar, low light conditions. Sharpness? Well, that is an academic point… The picture was taken at 60th of a second, so there is motion blurr, and the subject itself was moving. The skin color and texture do mimic the environment, a good predator camouflage. Distance? 10 feet? Maybe less. But of course, the technical difficulties and the danger inherent in this type of situation in no way match the mortal danger incurred in close up lady bug photography. Next time I will take to the swamp lighting equipment, a make up artist, several crocs in order to take that “Feature Picture” with a 200 megapixel camera. Sarcasm? Yes. But what is sarcasm an answer from?--Tomascastelazo 21:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • BTW, the danger incurred is of course irrelevant: or you take the picture or you don't, and BTW you can make a 200 Mpix picture by stitching 40-odd 5Mpx (allow some overlap) snaps. Lycaon 21:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The circular patterns in the water are most probably produced by the croc vocalizing with infrasound underwater. Lycaon 21:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose if only for those patterns. But quality is really too low. Lycaon 21:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Thank you for explaining the special circumstances. That is one of the reasons why I asked without coming to immediate conclusions first. I think the special circumstances overcompenstaes technical issues. Very nice. And no, I still do not approve of the sarcasm, I was just asking a question to learn more. -- Slaunger 21:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Slaunger: Sarcasm not directed at you and thanks for your vote!. Lycaon: Thanks! All: This is true for me: I am my own harshest critic, and when I critique someone else's work, I do it following well established photographing judging criteria. That it the least I owe to someone I critisize. Do I fall short? Probably, and due to my own ignorance. However, by acknowledging my own ignorance and shortcomings, and doing something about it, I lessen the damage bad judging can create.--Tomascastelazo 21:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think Lewis Carroll put it best: Calibas 22:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
  •  Oppose Not so much on its technical merits - it is sharp enough and has sufficient light - but the subject is too much hidden in it's environment to generate an outstanding image, a wow factor. I understand that hiding is the predator's intend and yet as a photographer I have to have the patience and yes luck to find it in a situation where it stands out and presents itself in all its beauty (well here beauty is relative) to the viewer. Wwcsig 23:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose due to technical quality, and I hope people are not getting themselves in dangerous situations just to get FPs. Dori - Talk 17:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I said elsewhere that I was not going to be participating in these things, but this photograph is awesome! I know that the collection which is the Featured pictures is not necessarily mentioned in the guidelines but if you look at the collection; the photographs that are there and the photographs that are missing and judge photographs like you would how a teeter totter works where it is a total weight not just both sides being perfectly matched. As far as safety goes, the more crocodile photographs there are, the less of a need for them and that much more is understood about photographing them. I can see a day in the future when a photograph of a crocodile is not supported because the Featured pictures collection has 30 of them and 4 dead photographers as well. My support hopefully will move these photographers into a future like that. Thank you for not only giving this photograph to the commons collection but having the balls to show it here where the bug and flower people will try to hurt your feelings. -- carol 05:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment This kind of so-called support vote is actually there to debase photographer who do an effort to sit still for hours trying to capture a high quality botanical or entomological picture. Sarcasm has become the rule in FP. It doesn't matter whether you make a picture of a fly in your garden with your 100€ digital camera or whether you are fortunate (as in having lots of money) enough to make that shot with your state-of-the-art camera on the top of the world. A good picture is a good picture. Every good syrphid picture gets my support, every bad Asian tsunami pic my oppose, and vice versa. If the only thing you are here for is to insinuate and spew sarcasm, it would be better if you stayed away. Criticize pictures not people, you can always start FPh (Featured Photographer) if you want to do that. I can very much appreciate critics (in al senses) from people who contribute and show they know what they are talking about but in your case it is as we say in Dutch "De beste stuurlui staan aan wal", Lycaon 06:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, sir or madam Lycaon, I love those Macro shots as well. I really do. Lord knows, they do not get the support they deserve around here and I will try to vote favorably for more of them. Thank you for correcting me. -- carol 07:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, do the Commons Photographers use a buddy system when getting photographs like this? I was wondering if there was a gallery of photographers being eaten by their subject yet or plans for one in the future? You know, things just happen and it would be nice to have a camera around when they do happen. -- carol 13:11, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my, what happened there, Carol? Did a million neurons just zap instantaneously in your brain causing a spasm of arbitrary keyboard commands followed by a violent jerk unwillingly pressing you finger on the mouse button while having the pointer positioned over the Save page button? (This is not meant as sarcasm. This is meant as concern.)-- Slaunger 13:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. And no offense is taken. I was imagining hanging from a tree getting photographs of a crocodile and thought it would be nice to have a photograph of this photographer taking that photograph -- regardless of the outcome. There was that bird photograph and Dori mentioned (or hinted) that the photographer had to be lying on his belly in the wet sand to get it. There is a joke somewhere within all of this about imagining imagery imaging but I can't make it work out correctly. I began all of this with the assumption that the photographer knew the equipment that was being used and was comfortable with it and was mostly safe the whole time.-- carol 14:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so that's what you meant? I got the impression from your previous comment that you suggesting feeding Commons photographers to wild animals while photographing it. I'm glad we settled that misundertsanding of mine. I think these thoughts about imagining imagery imaging (albeit interesting) are quite off-topic for the evaluation of this FPC though. -- Slaunger 14:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • MichaelMaggs – I normally upload images that are mostly unprocessed, except perhaps histogram adjustments and minor color adjustments. The reason I do this is so if the image is used in print (or other media), it can be manipulated with freedom for any application, that is, from unsharp to sharp, from low to high contrast, to the measure required by the final output. Over processing may look a picture look nice on screen, but be usless for other applications. In fact, most of the time reduces the possibilities of the editor.
  • ALL: Well, I leave you all, and take my sarcasm away with me…. Have fun with the bees and the flowers!!! Love,

--Tomascastelazo 15:02, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support - It is sharp enough all right, and if it has not enough wow factor, I don't know what has. Sometimes this evaluation process is a real farce. We accept very-very simple maps only because they are self-made, but very old and rare ones are rejected, because they are old...--Szilas 18:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose for all the reasons given by Darkone, Norro and Ss181292. El ComandanteHasta ∞ 15:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment by Reptil I cannot understand your bad votes. The picture may be a bit blurry on the right end but in all it is NOT really bad quality and it is NOT colored. It is a real color picture – believe it or not. What do you expect regarding the time (early color photography so no resolution like today) and circumstances (it was taken in full action during a bombing mission over the Balkans) the photo was taken? I was glad to get one color photo of this CRDA plane at all! Of course I did not take it originally, I was not flying for Regia Aeronautica then in 1941. I took it from my own picture collection and scanned it into my PC. So at lest I created this scan. And right, it would be impossible to find a better color photo of this airplane. --Reptil (♣) 15:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose interesting but not a beautiful picture --Luc Viatour 18:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Maybe it's not bad photo, but it's not good also. I really don't believe it is colour picture. In those times it was common, that pictures was coloured after they were taken and developed, and it is strongly unlikely that crewman on the bomber was equipped with colour camera (it's 1941). Of course it is not a reason to vote against, and it is not a reason of my opposition. I don't like this photo because it lacks quality to be featured. Ss181292 19:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment by Reptil Again, it is a color photo, it was taken for propaganda purposes, but you are of course free to believe whatever you want. It is true that Italian color photos of this time are rare, there are much more German made ones, but you are completely wrong regarding history of color photography. The first color photos date from the 1930s and they are more than you may think. This photo is not colored, an expert can confirm this, but it is obvious if you look thoroughly at it. I have many in my collection and you can also find many on the net. --Reptil (♣) 20:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just scanning a photo doesnt allow you to put it into the public domain. are you the photograph of that picture? Did the phoograph put it into PD? I dont think so, and i believe that this picture has to deleted cause of the unsure license. If the photo itself is under PD, please mention that and correct the license tag. With that statements here that you only scanned it but didnt take it ist has to be deleted. --Huebi 05:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment by Reptil Nuts! If you were right, most pictures here woiuld havre to be deleted. Huebi, what' s all this? The image is public domain, because following Italian law (just read the template for italian pictures) all pictures except artistic photographs are PD after 20 years. It was made by an airman of Regia Aeronautica and later published for propaganda purposes. You have not understood copyright policy! Your deletion request is absurd. As scan it is a reproduction and therefore not even covered by copyright law. Almost every older picture here in Wikipedia is a scan or an other kind of mechanical and/or electronic reproduction - what are you thinking? But anyway, it is a picture made under Italian rule in 1941, it is obviously an Italian airplane (marking of Regia Aeronautica, the airforce of fascist Italy, is clearly visible under the wing as well as squadron number on the fuselage) and every copyright is expired according to Italian law. So please be so kind and withdraw your completely unnecessary and unjustified deletion request.
    Reptil (♣) 4 June 2006, 14:15 (UTC)
  • Comment by Reptil I noticed that I made a mistake writing created, uploaded and nominated by Reptil. Of course, as said, I did not take the picture in 1941, as surely not one of these or similar pictures have been uploaded here by the original photographers as many are dead and gone today. It was the first time I proposed a candidate for picture of the day and mistook the word "created" for having created this proposal for picture of the day and not the photo itself. In fact in the licensing for the picture itself I did NOT mention myself as author, but unnown, as is for this picture made by an unnown airman of Regia Aeronautica. I have to apologise for this mistake. The deletion request of user Huebi is unjustified in any way. First of all because in the picture license I never claimed to be the author of the photo and second because the picture is clearly PD after expiration of Italian copyright after 20 years. This is accepted worldwide.

Peasent girls with berries - one of the earliest colour photographs

  • I have noticed that they look posed. In my oppinion this just ads to the sense of a time long ago. If you look at other old photos you will see that they are also posing every time - there was no way to take a moving picture, and the subjects of the photographs weren't that familiar with the concept of a photo camera.--Konstable 08:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also for the colour process you hade to take three photos. // Liftarn
  • Hadn't noticed the age or realised the methodology when I made those comments. But having looked more, I still have to concur with Wikimol (below); I'd rather vote for the self-portrait than this one - MPF 00:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mt Herschel, Victoria Land, Antarctica. Ironside glacier is on the right From Cape Hallet with Seabee Hook penguin colony in Foreground

  • Its the brown mass in the left foreground (the colour of the mounds of waste material and the little stones collected for nest sites). The tiny black dots are Adelie chicks and the white dots are adults. Mt Herschel is the intended feature. Thanks. Snowwayout 21:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For me, definitely. (I only pulled up contrast a little bit – I placed it over your version, because it's basically the same. Please revert it if you don't like the effect.) --che 11:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bremen Bahnhof view

:) I can't argue with Boereck, that is why we are voting, but I already checked the German law before taking the photos. The bahnhof architecture is public domain. You can check that in Image:Hauptbahnhof_Bremen_0111.jpg and Image:Bremen Bahnhof 1913.jpg. --Tarawneh 22:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the halls of the station are public domain but not the roofs and modern buildings on the place in front, as I said! Geo-Loge 15:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
User:RvM: Bremen Bahnhof building structure is PD. No one can stop anyone from selling photos for any Public domain structure.
User Geo-Loge: The new nearby hotel has nothing artistic on the roof, nothing is up there, I don't believe that any one can copyright noting, and even if they can, there is no new work there, the roof design is the same design used for the last 10000000000000 years, so it can't be copyrighted by the designer. It is not even the main object if the photo. --Tarawneh 14:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I never meant the Hotel. I meant the roofs and modern buildings on the square in front especially this eggshaped ticket buildung. Permissions of the Deutsche Bahn are only essentiell to take pictures inside their buildings. Geo-Loge 16:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kurzbeschreibung

Hi Lycaon. Did you watch the photo in full resolution? The photo is not meant to show every detail of that fly. It shows the fly in its surrounding nature. I also like the photo bcs of its colors and sharpness.--AngMoKio 07:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A petrified log in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, U.S.A.

  • Comment: The horizon appears domed due to the local landscape, not due to the wide angle lens. Wide angle lenses can make the edges of the frame appear distorted, especially in the corners. But in this case the horizon is near the center of the frame, the area with the least possible perspective distortion. (I have other images of the same place which show the same uneven horizon line with different lenses.) Equipment: Canon EOS 20D, EF-S 10-22 lens at around 10-12mm; polarizer; low-angle sun behind and to the right of me. -- moondigger 12:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
