Old man with a beard, Batumi, Georgia
  • IMO there is way too much contrast and clarity. The photo has almost only black and white with very few grey tones in between. I know it's a style, but in this case it comes off a bit too harsh. --cart-Talk 11:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: I don't think this is really true. There is a large black area, so the linear histogram is not very developed. But if you look at the logarithmic histogram, you can see a lot of grey. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:31, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • I did look at the original. The border looks a bit strange in the original, but it's clearly consistently parallel to the rest of the table, and therefore understandable as part of it. In the current version, it looks a bit ghostly and patchy, so it seems like some kind of defect in the photograph, instead of something that was actually there. I wouldn't be able to give any technical suggestions, but perhaps it might work best to rework that part of the photo from the RAW? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:13, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SVG exposure triangle
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media
  •  Info All by me -- WClarke 04:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I've seen versions of this diagram, and have found the concept to be helpful, so I decided to make my own public-domain version for Wikipedia. Hopefully it is something photographers here can appreciate. At the very least, if it's not worth featuring, I can get comments from people who know this subject well. Thanks. -- WClarke 04:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Visually it is rather plain, and I don't think it is a work of illustrative art on the level of the best FP diagrams. Secondly I have never understood why some books refer to an exposure triangle. I suppose they think "three" and assume a triangle is a suitable visual metaphor. The corners of the triangle have nothing in common (e.g. freezes motion & shallow DoF), nor to they represent limits to any scale (one can go slower than 1s and faster than 1/1000s). Changing one dimension just makes a different shaped triangle, but doesn't tell you how the three attributes interact to form an image -- the area of the triangle for example, isn't relevant. A better visual metaphor is a cube, where the brightness of the resulting image relates to the volume, and the width = shutter duration, height = aperture size, and depth = ISO. An increase in any of these results in greater brightness. If one uses an appropriate scale, doubling the width (shutter duration) can be compensated by halving the height (aperture size) or depth (ISO) and the same volume (brightness) results. However, at the level of physics, only aperture and shutter speed matter to determine how many photons hit the sensor (if we exclude filters, adding flash light and sensor size as variables the photographer can control), since ISO in the digital age is simply post-capture amplification. -- Colin (talk) 07:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The ISO thing makes more sense if you think of it as film sensitivity, so I wouldn't complain about that. But what's bothering me about this and all the other attempts I've see so far is that it doesn't actually tell you anything about exposure. What it should probably tell you is that, for example, at ISO 100, f/8 @ 1/250 will give you the same exposure as f/11 @ 1/125. Increase ISO to 200 and you'll get the same exposure as before at f/8 @ 1/125 or f/11 @ 1/250, or … . This attempt does this "for any given ISO", but you don't need a triangle for that. If demonstrating exposure is not the intention of this, it shouldn't be called an "exposure triangle". But then I think something like the first chart on this page would be much better suited to visualize the non-exposure related effects of changing aperture, shutter speed and film/sensor sensitivity. --El Grafo (talk) 09:46, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree that the diagram on the other page is better to show the effects of changing settings on the image qualities (other than exposure). The cube model does "explain" exposure and how the values each affect the total, but it isn't a particularly complex concept that one needs an analogy -- how much light is gathered by the sensor. The shutter duration and ISO values both double when the exposure doubles (goes up one stop). Only the aperture is strange with all those f/5.6 and f/8 numbers that don't seem to follow a sensible scale nor go the right direction! It makes more sense once you convert to the circular area of the aperture (e.g. f/8 is 122mm² on a 50mm lens, and f/5.6 is 250mm² which is double the area). I don't think the "triangle" model is adding anything useful. -- Colin (talk) 13:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Useful, probably a VI, not an FP in my eyes.--Peulle (talk) 12:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I like the idea actually, but would be much more intuitive if the triangle were coloured after the amount of exposure (black=dark, white=bright), each coordinate being more or less white. - Benh (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Peulle. Just too busy too effectively convey information ... I've seen this done better elsewhere. Daniel Case (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Québec city at night, view from Lévis city
As you can see in the image description, the main object (quebec city) is far and I find very difficult to take a better picture with my current lens. Thanks --The Photographer 22:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but could you dial back the highlights slightly? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can't do it because the light difference. It's not a hdr picture and dial back the white will convert it on greay showing a false reality. In this case maybe the solution is buy another lens. I'm open to some recomendation.
I wouldn't be able to recommend anything; I just work with what I see. But making white and yellow highlights a little less bright is really going to make them gray? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:11, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Safety boats, ferry, Aidipsos, Evia Greece

    • Thank you cart. I'm not sure that Ermell is totaly wrong nevertheless... I have the same feeling, but the light was so harsh that the use of a filter was a mandatory. Anyway, I'm not toooootaly happy with this orange. But there is no way to improve this (I tried...).

Central dome of the Trinity Cathedral in Saint Petersburg.
--A.Savin 23:30, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - The photo seems to clearly slope down to the left of center, and at least the smaller dome on the right seems to slope down to the right. I see no-one's commented on this, but why is it happening, and should anything be done to fix it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: my guess would be lens distortion, which is pretty common in drone cameras (but not always as recognizable as here, depending on what's depicted). The focal length of 8.8 mm has about the same field of view as a 24 mm lens on 135 format ("Full Frame"). That's a pretty wide angle, so some distortion can be expected. But it seems that there are options for automated software correction available for Adobe products [1]. --El Grafo (talk) 14:12, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, if you wish. My intention was, to show the entire central dome as close as possible. Not sure is some distortion on the small domes (of them at least two always will appear along with the big one) is evitable, nor if I could do any more about it with LR/PS. Feel free to vote as you like, I'm not Livioandronico and will surely neither insult you for that nor vote anywhere in revenge )) --A.Savin 20:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A strawberry.

 I withdraw my nomination--Talk to Kong of Lasers 01:58, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Only where the splash has been made to match the strawberry. If this was for real, there should be small strawberries in every little water drop. Then there is also the water in front of the strawberry, It has in no way distorted the strawberry behind it. I have never seen and object through billowing water that was not distorted. Please compare with other splashing fruits such as File:Orange Strawberry.jpg or others at Category:Splashes. It is no doubt a cool photo, just not sure it belongs here. --cart-Talk 16:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose (I've changed the category from "Plants" to "Food and drink"). I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never found myself in a dark room with some water and felt the need to drop fruit into it. This is the sort of image that is popular on stock photo sites but I can't see much educational value for it, other than as an example of the fad for "fruit splash" photos. Sites like Pixabay are more aimed to offering free stock photos, than educational photos, though there is overlap and plenty educational images too. -- Colin (talk) 16:26, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Now that this photo is of sufficient size, I oppose it as an undeclared mashup of two or more photos, particularly as shown by the link Laitche gives above. I'm totally fine with stitching together multiple photos, but photoshopping one photo into another is not OK unless it's openly declared and not just presented as a cool thing without further explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Based on the link provided by Laitche, and this DeviantArt link, I'd have to agree this image is a Photoshop composite of photos, or does not in fact even contain a real water splash or real strawberry. The artist's other works appear largely artificial, and it is possible that the source images from which their composite works are created are not theirs to begin with (though might be free images). @King of Hearts, Kong of Lasers, and Peulle: The rules are clear: "Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable". If the source images for this composite are not created by the artist, that raises further questions about it's legitimacy as a file on Commons. With File:Glühwendel brennt durch.jpg that KoH links to, the manipulation is described, though to be honest, I've never thought those exploding bulb photos had much EV either. An FP must be accurately described and IMO should also be clear about authorship of all its parts. -- Colin (talk) 08:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Old man with a beard
  •  Oppose Too heavily compressed, leading to JPG artefacts and posterisation. The image looks like it has been upscaled, as there isn't much pixel-level detail. As a portrait, the eyes aren't well lit and the beard is lost somewhat in the light background. There's no EXIF, but I don't think the lens choice was best, as it appears to have been taken from close range, rather than the more flattened portrait one would expect from a telephoto. -- Colin (talk) 18:30, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Water slide tower at the lido on Johannes-Brahms-Promenade, Pörtschach am Wörther See, Carinthia, Austria
While the lighting/sky is different in this one, I don't think it is at the level of those. For example, the first one above has the slide in dark like this, but has a lovely soft background and good reflection in the water. Here the subject is quite small in the frame as a result of the wide-angle lens. There is a lot of clutter to the right and left. The water reflection isn't as good and the foreground water not adding anything. The water also appears to have either chroma noise or colour moire. -- Colin (talk) 07:37, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explanation. I translate this in willkürlicher Schnitt (Bildschnitt or Bildausschnitt). Willkürlich isn't the same like schlecht or armselig (poor). More like not well selected rather randomly. But it's not important. --Hockei (talk) 11:01, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info I uploaded a new version with a bit changed white balance and some more pixels (7.7 MP) but not full resolution (max at GH5 12 MP in 16:9). This deletion request opened my eyes about wikimedia and some users restless. Some users do so as if the cc by-sa is like public domain. Photographers are just sucked out and then on the top of it they get a kick. I don't want to pull him in here but I totally agree with Pocos reasons. I decided I won't upload full resolution pictures no more even if the GH3 pictures only have max 12 or 16 MP (4:3). But my GH3 era is over in April 2017 and then comes my GH5 era. I'm not sure if I'll upload pictures from this camera to the wikimedia yet. It doesn't matter whether Colin or other users like it or not. Fact is that the pictures of Moroder almost all are too soft. Independently of the number of pixels. But he isn't willing to change his way so I have the right to say that. This isn't cheeky how colin said but just honest and true.
I won't withdraw the nomination of my picture but want your decision.
In spite of all I have to say thanks to all users they helped me to develop my skills in producing pictures from the raw photo (at last to Yann).
@Yann: I beg you to delete the copies of this picture because they are not needed no more. I hope it's possible in that short way. --Hockei (talk) 07:48, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree that Moroder's pictures have a consistent problem with softness, the point remains that at 6MP your image and his image are comparable in sharpness. Yet you nominate yours downsampled to < 6MP and expect us to go wow -- which is the criteria for FP. If Moroder did the same, he'd get fewer complaints about softness also, but also more complaints about unimpressive detail/size. Neither then are "among our finest" technically. We are left then with whether the image is among our finest artistically, and here Jebulon sums things up -- this is nice but nothing special. As for the DR, well Jim does not represent the whole of Commons nor Wikimedia, and he could have handled that better, but he was technically correct. If you use CC BY-SA then you can't be overly precise about attribution placement. Several people spent considerable time helping you draft a better wording, which I think better represents Commons community than some clumsy admin. I don't see how downsizing to 6MP will make a bean of difference to whether your images are stolen on the internet, as many Web usages require much smaller than that, and 6MP is sufficient to print A4 professionally. This kind of downsizing because you don't want to be more generous, will not impress anyone at Commons FPC and is exactly the sort of downsizing that is discouraged. Especially so when we see you complaining about 36MP images being too soft. That's just not fair play. In my opinion, if you are a professional photographer then by all means keep them "All rights reserved" as it protects your assets from which you derive your income and pay the mortgage. But if this is a hobby then who are you helping by worrying about someone in China or USA stealing your photo? It only gives you an ulcer and you will be no richer if you keep them under copyright on some Flickr album instead. -- Colin (talk) 11:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Colin: While I agree that this is not very sharp, you can't compare a picture taken from 39 km away, and one taken only from a few kilometers. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yann, I'm not aware there is a need to take the picture from 39km away, so that doesn't really help the case. The latest upload has turned the sky purple, so I don't know what is going on. The "finest on Commons" doesn't include pictures deliberately downsized so that Commons is a loser. If we all played that game, we'd all be judging 2MP images. -- Colin (talk) 21:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Colin: I have withdrawn my vote, as the colors are wrong now. But why do you talk about a need? A picture is taken from a given place, that's all. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:41, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If I take a picture of Big Ben from a poor or distant vantage point, then people may complain it isn't sharp, or the verticals perspective distortion is too much. But if I get a great location, that can make all the difference. That this image is ok from that distance is great, but doesn't itself justify FP. Thinking about it, Yann, I think the reason this image isn't popping out of the screen with wow is exactly because it was taken from so far away. The perspective compression that results creates a flat image almost like someone painted this mountain on a piece of card. We expect our mountains to be 3D. -- Colin (talk) 07:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I don't think this is accurate; Do in Montenegro apply laws of other countries except the embassies? --C messier (talk) 17:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@C messier: All images on Commons must be free both under US law (as the servers are hosted here) and under the law of the country where they were taken. If there is no FoP in Montenegro, then it makes no difference that it is free under US FoP provisions. Daniel Case (talk) 22:05, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case: I can convert it from raw and sharpen more accurately, it's not a problem. But if there are law problems with this image, then it won't make sense. (--DmitriyGuryanov (talk) 06:27, 7 September 2017 (UTC))[reply]

  • PumpkinSky (and also Colin), if I may: I see that this photo was taken in April, and if I remember correctly, that was before you learned about RAW. If this photo is just the original jpeg from the camera, the program in the camera has made an automatic NR when it converted the RAW file to the jpeg you extracted. Jpegs from the camera has built-in NR from the start, even if you don't touch the slider in LR afterwards. --cart-Talk 14:16, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's probably the reason. But even in a raw converter like Lightroom, there's always some NR going on. For example, the colour NR in Lightroom defaults to 25 (and is best kept there unless one has huge ISO values and little reason to go smaller), and the demosaicing process aims to minimise noise. You need to use one of the open source raw converters to see what a raw file looks like out-of-camera, and it is quite awful. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose The pleasant colors and exotic buildings are definitely eye-catching here, however the quality is quite blurry when you zoom... Something wrong has been done when capturing/editing this. -- Pofka (talk) 16:57, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • W.carter, I really don't know about any possibility to attach a DSLR on a drone and take photos with it in flight. If yes, this probably would be quite a heavy drone, which needs special regulations (permission, pilot's license etc.) to launch it. --A.Savin 19:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • A.Savin You are probably right about the permissions and such, I'm no expert.

Sarawak State Assembly building (Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak) in Kuching, Malaysia

Yes, I removed it. Thanks for the hint. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 21:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I carefully looked into that. Due to the curved metal roof, you cannot totally avoid reflections. This reflection fortunately isn't blown out but just very bright. However, it cannot be handled with local reduction of exposure or reduction of whites/highlights. It would entail an area substitution in PS to achieve a suitable result. Personally, I do not think, that it is worth to remove the bright part of the roof in favor for a photoshopped matte. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 21:19, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please, tell me if it's ok for you. Thanks --The Photographer 20:12, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've had a quick look and the unsharp area and stitching issue is improved and the poles are now vertical, but the horizon now looks to dip a bit in the middle. It isn't easy if the "horizon" varies with height and distance, but perhaps some in-between value would help. You may be able to drag the vertical centre point a little to compensate. -- Colin (talk) 21:43, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The proper reading here should be 2.470 cm not 2.47 cm and a reading of calipers should also always state the error associated with the reading. In this case the proper measurement is 2.470 cm ± 0.005 cm. As it stands, this is a reading that did not use the full accuracy of the shown instrument. (Original nomination)

Conifer Garden at Norfolk Botanical Garden

PumpkinSky your "the FP community does more harm than good" comment is incredibly rude to your fellow reviewers, who are simply doing their job. All because we failed to sing the praises of a couple of your rather ordinary photos. While FPC is sometimes a game of roulette, it isn't a game to play with pretty much most of your uploads in the hope a few pass the grade. The response is no surprise at all. FP is not QI and is meant to be difficult and selective. -- Colin (talk) 18:58, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Ikan Kekek: Not really sure about that rainbowy area. It might also be due to marble as there also are other shining areas (f.e. near right lamp). There is no other way to capture the whole chapel as it is one of the Vilnius Cathedral side rooms and it has quite small gates, so centered image is not possible here. -- Pofka (talk) 07:31, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ship passes through a light patch amid dark fog on the San Francisco Bay

  •  Support I was on a ferry on the San Francisco Bay recently and saw this big ship passing through a little pocket of light amidst dark fog. I don't think it's a traditional FPC, but I love the drama of the lost ship (in the literary sense) passing cloud-covered islands, surrounded by dark fog with just a little bit of light and blue sky. — Rhododendrites talk02:34, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - I'd support cropping another third of the water in the foreground, but I support for the drama. I can easily imagine this as a cinematic shot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • After your post-QIC advice, I experimented with a few different crops. One of the things I like about this image is the circular[ish] patch of light that illuminates the water as well as what's above water. For me, it contributes to the drama/cinematic feel. As I see it, that circle extends to near the bottom of the frame in the current crop. I didn't like the way a more severe crop cut into that shape. If it were otherwise I would surely agree with you from a composition point of view. Not sure if I'm explaining that well, or if I'm helping or hurting by explaining, but there it is. :) — Rhododendrites talk22:23, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to take issue with this. I don't mind if you oppose because it doesn't strike you as a FP or if it seems too melodramatic (I would agree re: the latter, except that's why I like it), but it sounds like you're accusing me of lying and/or misrepresenting re: vignetting. There was no vignetting added. Any tone adjustments were done to the entire image. The only exception was a minor adjustment to the ship itself (and not its surroundings). If it helps to clarify, you can see another example from shortly after here: File:Ship in the SF Bay fog (40413).jpg, in which the effect is still visible on the left but not so much the right. — Rhododendrites talk15:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wiesbaden, Kurhaus
The "Kurhaus" is the main object, so I put the fountain close to the border to guide the viewers look from the first over the second fountain to the building. --Berthold Werner (talk) 06:13, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Which is also the reason why the nearest foreground is a bit unsharp. I think your point of view is valid, so I'll give you mild  Support, though I wish there were some space to the right of the fountain, and the lack of it creates tension in the composition, in my opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
