 Comment You have to distinguish between the personality right (that is, if you take a picture and there are identifiable people on it, you may need consent by those people) and the domiciliary right (that is, for taking pictures in a private property or even a state museum you may need the approval by its owner/administration). For the former, it doesn't matter where exactly the picture was taken; for the latter, it usually doesn't matter if there are any people depicted. I guess the "permission from the mall administration" is merely about the latter. Regards --A.Savin 19:10, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Pure cotton actually! I agree it is not perfect, but it is in nature, not posed/studio and not captive. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:56, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Why can't it? It's not the subject. How come you like the wasp on the blurry flower, but not the mantid on the blurry tee-shirt. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Answer: For me, the partially out-of-focus red cloth can make or break the picture. it is part of the photo. You could have waited for the grasshopper to sit on a natural subject.-- Famberhorst (talk) 04:48, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • No I couldn't. The natural 'subject' for a mantis is to be hidden among grass. If the mantis is 100% visible in an image like this, it has nearly always been placed by hand. I was lucky that she landed on a compliant tee-shirt. I cannot complain of course if you oppose on the basis of a the man-made support. I've done that in the past.

✓ Done Thanks --Wilfredor (talk) 22:43, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment Nice mood and composition. However some of the foliage of the trees (for an example, please see the image note) looks IMHO strange and unnatural when viewed in full size – I guess it has been oversharpened or something else. Could you please have a look? Best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:32, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Supplement: The first upload (without additional sharpening) is better in that respect. It already contains some areas in which IMHO the foliage looks a bit strange, namely the parts where the foliage is shining and glittering – in these parts the foliage is much sharper than in the other parts (have you applied some selective sharpening or so which may have over-sharpened exactly the shining/glittering parts?). But the new upload with the additional sharpening has increased the effect, now the shining parts look really unnatural to me. Difficult … --Aristeas (talk) 09:40, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Regarding your question, it was not something done on purpose, I think it is the result of the artificial sharpening filter, that's why I prefer not to apply that filter (or any other). I have decided to revert those modifications but if anyone thinks they can apply it and it works better, they are welcome to modify the image. --Wilfredor (talk) 13:07, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support Thank you. IMHO it looks much more natural again. I really like the view. At thumbnail size, it seems a bit dark, but when viewing it in full size I think the brightness is appropriate. There are some softer areas, but I don’t think that they are that important, given the resolution. If you want to sharpen this photo (again) it could be a good idea to use a mask and to sharpen (carefully) only the slightly soft areas, without touching the areas which are already very sharp; this could avoid the artificial impression the intermediate version gave me. --Aristeas (talk) 15:23, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Dear Aristeas thank you for your comments. I confess you that I am not very good using those retouching tools so I concentrate on making a photo as natural as possible and without those filters and I think those filters are destructive. I would have liked to take a sharper photo but the place where I took the photo was in constant movement and it was not a stable place so I was forced to use a faster shutter speed. This weekend I will be climbing that mountain that you see at the end (Le loups or The wolves), I hope to get good views from there. --Wilfredor (talk) 15:36, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, as you see I already support the photo as it is. My comment about using a mask for sharpening is just for the case that other users here request more sharpening (again). For me your photo is beautiful as it is. Good look with climbing that mountain – I hope you can enjoy (and capture ;–) a good view. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 19:29, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Oppose First, I decided to give it a few days, but I have to say I cannot find this image really that interesting at all. So, no wow, somehow sad and dull. While the scenery is certainly nice, the light is less so, and I don’t like that tree on the right shore to cover the left bank woods (I would have taken it a bit more from the left). There’s a strange issue in the sky between the rightmost trees (grey spot) – is the reddish sky colour natural, or has it been tinted in postprocessing? --Kreuzschnabel 15:12, 27 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Weak oppose On one level I like it because the scene in question looks so much like scenes closer to home for me in the Catskills. This could easily be Esopus Creek not far above Ashokan Reservoir.

  •  Comment I thought about cutting away the foreground, but I think it looks better with the foreground. I don't like the picture having no foreground. The blur is a result of the focal length of 135mm. I don't think that's a problem because there's nothing exciting to see in front anyway and it gives the picture some depth. -- Wolf im Wald 23:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support though I do think f/8 would have been a better choice. For ultra-high-resolution images, I don't expect everything to be in perfect focus, but everything should be sharp at a moderate resolution like 6 MP. The sharpness of the foreground is passable, but there's just a little bit more fuzziness than I'd like. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment I used f/5.6 because the Zeiss 135mm f/2 Milvus performs with more sharpness at this setting (compared to f/8). I always try to achieve the best possible technical result and in this case it was more important to me that the sundial in the right center of the picture is very sharp. The uninteresting and ugly foreground was not important to me, I even think it's good that it loses importance due to the blurring. -- Wolf im Wald 16:42, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support Excellent quality and resolution -- George Chernilevsky talk 07:32, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose The technology used gives us excellent sharpness and resolution, but shouldn't have been bought for the price of a blurred foreground. The unsharpness doesn't really helps for depth here in my eyes. Yes, without foregeund is not a better solution. f/5.6 doesn't seem to be the right choice for 135 mm and this subject either. In broad daylight, a high f-number shouldn't have been a problem. If the goal is a lower resolution, the photographer could have made it easier for himself instead of composing 28 individual images. By the way: The photographer can't do anything about the scaffolding, but it wasn't the ideal time for an excellent image of this tower. --Milseburg (talk) 07:48, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Weak support Personally I am fine with the foreground etc. being out of focus – the subject is the tower, period. (“Photography consists of sharpness and unsharpness”, my father used to tell me; one can read more about this idea e.g. in Feininger’s photography textbooks.) And I understand the choice of f/5.6; modern lenses, combined with modern high-resolution sensors, often excel in sharpness already at f/4 and show diffraction starting already at f/8, even more at f/11. So if the photographer wanted to make the most of the tower, he has done well. It’s just a pity about all the ugly stuff (scaffolding etc.) around which really degrades the overall impression, sorry; while all the foreground and background can very well be out of focus, they are still parts of the composition and therefore influence the overall impression. --Aristeas (talk) 09:54, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment As a philhellene I am always interested in good maps of Hellas. Indeed this seems to be a fine map, not the most detailed I have ever seen, but certainly good and very useful – bravo! However I have to confess that I expect such a map to use either (1) ancient Greek captions (original names and spelling) or (2) Latin captions (as traditional in history books) or (3) English captions (just because English is the lingua franca of our epoch) or (4) multilingual captions in a SVG. I have the highest respect for the rich Russian language, but I don’t see it as appropriate for a map of Greece – just as I would not welcome French, German, … captions for such a map. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:28, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Aristeas Thank you very much)))) The source file itself is in svg format. I will work further on the map (change fonts for the wiki engine and reduce the file size - I don't know how yet). The map itself was conceived so that amateurs could translate it into their own language. Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 10:53, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • @Пётр Тарасьев: I understand. Well, in theory I could even try to help with the translation; e.g. I could try to make a version with the names in the original ancient Greek. I think it would be most easy if you could manage to get a working SVG version uploaded; then we could try to make it a mulitlingual SVG file. — But at the moment, I have to confess that I have almost no free time (I am moving to another home in another city). Maybe you could contact = remind me later, e.g. in October, then we could try to figure out how I can help in the best way. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:03, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Support Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed. This must be by far the most professional-looking map I've seen here in years (!). Commons is a multi-lingual project, so there's nothing wrong with it being in Russian per se. Sure, I'd personally prefer it to be in English, but as far as I can see, all the labels have been placed very carefully. That's not something you quickly switch to another language on a lazy afternoon. The only thing I don't particularly like is the color scale: It is relatively low-contrast over-all, but then the colors for 800-1000 and 1000-1200m really pop out. I'd like a bit more balance there. Oh, and maybe putting the title on top of the map would make the whole layout feel a bit more balanced, right now there is a lot white space between the map and the legend. --El Grafo (talk) 07:27, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Oh, and since this doesn't seem to be an equidistant map projection, the scale bar in km doesn't make much sense to me. For longitude, 1° = 111.3 km is only true at the equator, at 40° latitude it's more like 1° = 85km. --El Grafo (talk) 07:42, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Oppose per Charles' second statement. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:43, 27 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose Same as other map created and nominated by you. I think it should be in Greek or English. This could be a FP illustration in the Russian Wikipedia, but its usage will be limited in the English Wikipedia and it certainly will not be used in the Greek Wikipedia. -- Pofka (talk) 08:41, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Pofka what is FP illustration?Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 10:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Пётр Тарасьев: Various languages Wikipedias have the right to recognize images as FP only in their respective projects (e.g. Wikipedia:Featured pictures). I believe this is the case, unless you will create alternative maps with English/Greek texts. -- Pofka (talk) 10:36, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Pofka That is, it was necessary to put this map directly into the Russian Wikipedia and not into the Wikimedia Commons? Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 10:39, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Пётр Тарасьев: My knowledge about FP recognition in language-based Wikipedia projects is quite limited. However, I have seen files in Commons which have templates saying that the file was recognized as FP in language-based Wikipedia projects (e.g. this image which is a FP in the Persian Wikipedia and is currently nominated for FP in Commons). So probably you can nominate Commons files for recognition as FP in the Russian Wikipedia as well. Though, I'm unable to find link to the Russian Wikipedia in the left side tool bar "Other languages" HERE, so I'm not sure if the Russian Wikipedia have such a procedure at all. -- Pofka (talk) 10:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Pofka Understood. Thanks for the answer. Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 10:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't see how the objection about the map being in Russian language could be valid. Maps are necessarily dependent on printed labels, and who says that the Latin alphabet must be used? Why not illustrate Greek history to someone who speaks (and reads) only Russian? Even though I don't speak this language and I can hardly read the words, I am still able to judge on harmonic labelling, the font used, etc. - and of course the other components of a map (colors, layout, legend...).
But you are right in objecting to the area depicted: If the map is to show the history of Ancient Greece, it must include all the territory that was "Greek" in the era. Till (talk) 19:02, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    @Pofka I figured out the errors in the svg file and fix them. I was in a hurry to post this map because there is a possibility of blocking wikipedia in Russia. I will make an svg file in Russian, and in Latin I agreed with one person (I will do most of the titles in Latin). As for the ancient Greek: I also have resources with place names in this language and together with it we will make an ancient Greek version.

  •  Comment Thanks for your suggestion Charles! I'm not entirely happy with the boat either. But I really like the reflections on the water and I wouldn't like them to be cropped so much. So I believe it looks better without cropping, but I think it's a matter of taste. -- Wolf im Wald 17:41, 25 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: with six opposes and no support from anyone except the nominator in five days, it is very unlikely to succeed. Daniel Case (talk) 17:16, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
