Support The technical quality is truly impressive - especially the sharpness and overall execution. -- Radomianin (talk) 06:34, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Request At the same time, I find version 104A8815 from the same series even more compelling in terms of composition and expression. Though the eye is not quite as crisply defined, the overall presence feels stronger to me. Would you consider it as an alternative for the nomination?

Info The final room of the Camp: Notes on Fashion exhibit at The Met. I took some shots of individual exhibits, but keep coming back to this one, with the top row of colorful looks mirrored in a case (and the top of the big pink hat it contains). Maybe an unusual composition, and I know there are some imperfections (a dark room packed with people), but I like it enough to give it a shot. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 23:00, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It should be renamed. Yann (talk) 13:23, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My instinct is that following the death of an important figure beloved by so many, we should perhaps wait a little bit before we decide what are truly the strongest images we have of him. I think it would be easy to promote this as we wish to commemorate his passing, but also I'm not convinced that the image quality is what I'd want it to be (blur, noise, plus distracting cropped people in the background). Cmao20 (talk) 13:43, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Je partage l'avis de Cmao20 ,la qualité monstrueusement faible de l'image et la pose très crispée me semble contre productif pour l'illustration d'un hommage posthume décent Mariondelouhans (talk) 14:52, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with Cmao20 about the reasoning and Yann re the name, this is a clear equivalent of the Wikipedia:Too soon. And in my very personal opinion, rushing to FPC to score some point with a nom as soon as a famous person has died is also a bit tasteless. We are not in any hurry here. --Cart (talk) 13:57, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry but I think I agree with A.Savin here. The central vanishing point is not very interesting, it's all quite a bland composition. I also think the picture doesn't seem to have many shadowed regions, everything is quite bright and I'm not sure this suits the subject.

Delist At the first glance one could think that only a tiny part of the spine is missing; but comparing several photos (e.g. 1, 2, 3 …) shows that a complete significant part of the spine is missing. If the editing would have been declared properly and if only a tiny part of the spine was missing, one could discuss this; but making us think that the spine is a whole lot smaller and not even declaring this questionable edit is indeed very problematic. Even more because the spine is not an arbitrary element in the photo, but a central part of it. – Aristeas (talk) 17:38, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Radomianin. As a user of a similar camera I think it could be even a bit sharper; you might consider manually fine-tuning the focus when you take the next shot; or maybe all what is missing is a little bit more sharpening during raw image development. But it’s totally OK as it is, and congrats for the perfect framing and timing! – Aristeas (talk) 17:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't shoot that much RAW and didn't notice until today that the camera produces sharper JPEGs than RAWs, which have to be sharpened manually. I've uploaded a new version. AVDLCZ (talk) 18:29, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the improvement! Yes, the camera automatically sharpens all JPEG images (you can adjust the strength of the sharpening in the camera settings), but it does not sharpen the raw image date. This is correct because raw data often undergo extensive processing (e.g. correcting distortion and perspective, adjusting exposure etc.) and sharpening is best applied only at the end of this processing. Therefore we need to set the sharpening in the raw image processor. Best, – Aristeas (talk) 10:04, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral For me a bit too much floor in relation to the ceiling, otherwise good. --A.Savin 09:11, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did think about cropping out some of the floor, but ultimately decided against it. The composition feels more vertically balanced this way, and it allows anyone who prefers a cropped version to make one themselves. AVDLCZ (talk) 14:39, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Info The baroque crucifix in the protestant church of Bonfeld, Bad Rappenau, Germany, seen in candlelight. All by – Aristeas (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support I have always admired the courage of those who dare to nominate also ‘strange’ photos which break with some of our rules and habits. Well, it’s Good Friday and so I dare to nominate my favourite crucifix photo, knowing well that there are good reasons to call this a very bad photo. I wanted to photograph this crucifix in pure candlelight because I had the impression that this would make it look much more impressive and alive. But when I tried this (as usual) from a certain distance and with a straight perspective (similar to this photo), the sculpture looked stiff and dead. Only when I took the perspective of a person standing directly in front of the altar and focussed the lens only on the face did the sculpture come to life, so to speak. I know that perspective and crop are completely at odds with our usual conventions here; but somehow the leaning verticals and the narrow framing also seem to fit the motif of the suffering Christ. – Aristeas (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support Great, creative way to depict this work of art Cmao20 (talk) 15:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support I find this image truly moving - precisely because it deliberately breaks with convention. The unusual perspective and warm light convey an intensity and closeness that does justice to the suffering and dignity of Christ in a very special way. As someone who believes, it's this kind of depiction that speaks more deeply than any "technically perfect" image ever could. It feels alive. And it speaks. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good sharpness for a handheld photo, but the harsh shadows and the poor light on the left part of the photo are not successful to me. It is an ordinary sculpture of a common subject present in all churches, basilica and cathedrals (another example). Due to the shallow depth of field, the focus draws the eye to the blood, painted in a not-so-subtle manner. Sorry, I know it's Easter weekend in Western countries, but it is better to leave the calendar aside when judging this kind of images potentially loaded with a strong symbolic connotation. (Hopefully the chocolate eggs will be no less tasty :-)) -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't see anything remarkable which would lead to FP status. 50% of the picture is only black. Yann (talk) 11:41, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I’m still undecided, but it’s actually a clever feature that most people are just silhouettes without any recognizable features. Otherwise the people in the revolving doors would be very easily recognizable and it would be a severe infringement of their personality rights to publish a photo without their explicit consent (cf. the European GDPR). There are exceptions for press photographs, but Commons is not press photography, and therefore the legal status of the photo would be quite problematic. By hiding their faces in the shadows Cart has completely worked around this problem while still showing the revolving doors in full action. – Aristeas (talk) 15:43, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
However you decide (or not) I'm really glad that someone has recognized what I'm trying to do in many of my photos with people. I love street photography and to document everyday life, hopefully in a cool or artistic way. But to comply with the rules on Commons, you need to be creative in how you depict people, especially for FPC. Using silhouettes is a clear favorite for me. I don't see the problem with the percentage of black in the photo, we have other FPs using the same technique, examples. --Cart (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support I am rather hesitant. But it does fit. I had to look for a long time to see what was so appealing about the photo. At first it looks a bit restless, but the strong contrast is the real strength of the photo. --XRay 💬 18:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per XRay (and my own reasoning). After looking for a while at it I find the composition and the strong contrast quite impressive. The latter also even adds a touch of mystery to the image. – Aristeas (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per XRay en Aristeas. To me, on closer inspection, this is a sophisticated photo where the dark areas are important details.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:01, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support It took me a while, but yeah, I see why this should be FP now. It's the fact that each of the silhouetted figures is framed within the 'openings' in the revolving doors. It's one of those moments that isn't easy to replicate, takes an artist to see (I don't think most photographers would have taken this shot at all), and it conveys quite a dynamic impression. Each of the figures is doing something a little bit different too - one has her back to us so we can't see, but of the others, one is carrying an ordinary plastic shopping bag, one has what looks like a gift bag, and one is looking at (I think her) phone. It's those little details that make this a piece of photographic art, not just a photo. Cmao20 (talk) 19:54, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I understand the artistic intent, but it just doesn't work for me. Top third is almost entirely black pixels, the cluttered background breaks any hope for a pleasing symmetry, there are a lot of unintended reflections and glare, and the image is overall not very sharp. Side note, in many countries and Sweden specifically, you don't need consent to take and publish photographs of people in public places. AVDLCZ (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I know about not needing consent here in Sweden, I'm just trying to treat other people in a respectful way. I have some personal experience with how you can be treated if other people think they are entitled to do things, just because it's not against the law. Besides, photos uploaded on Commons are allowed for commercial use, and you do need consent for that in Sweden. --Cart (talk) 18:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Cool use of DoF. It's similar to this FP of chess where the DoF is used to single out one piece. Here we get the focus on the guy in the yellow leader shirt. It mirrors the focus a biker needs to have in such a race, and let everything distracting around him fade out, just like the focus in the photo. --Cart (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, the only two runners in focus have their bicycles cropped out at the bottom. The level of blur of the foreground is distracting, in my view. And the background cluttered with vehicles make the composition busy -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:22, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like that the sculpture nicely stands out from the green background, but still fits ‘naturally’ into its surrounding, being made just from wood and stones. The soft light nicely emphasizes the relief on the sculpture. – Aristeas (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support The light is not perfect, but somehow it works for me, adding three-dimensionality to the bird and giving a nice mood to the photo.

Info A modernist building designed by Pierre Jeanneret, the lesser-known cousin of Le Corbusier. The building sits on a raised plinth in a large P-shaped shallow pool, with an angular and curved three-part pinwheel roof, designed to evoke a floating lotus flower. The white colour of the building was chosen so to contrast with the red of the Fine Arts Museum designed by Corbusier, visible on the right. Picture taken after an intense thunderstorm during late monsoon, when the pool was filled with rainwater. Created, uploaded and nominated by UnpetitproleX (Talk) 21:41, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the improvements. But I'm also missing the wow effect here. Sorry.--Ermell (talk) 22:08, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The local brush is really too obvious in the new version, and gives a feeling of over-processing, with an odd white part behind the trees. Interesting mirror image but I would say the lighting conditions and heavy sky were not really so cooperative at the beginning -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:37, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment after @Ermell and Basile Morin: reviews I realised the structure looks a bit too warm/yellow for the time it was taken and the light conditions - turns out I had reduced the highlights way too excessively early on while editing the image, causing the unnatural colour. I went back to the original raw image to re-edit it to preserve the while colour of the structure. Pinging also @Cmao20: in case they wish to reconsider their support vote after this significant re-edit. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:47, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also adding that the pool is never filled artificially, so this view is only ever possible after heavy rain, which is why I nom'ed it. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:49, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Detail resolution etc. could be better, but I really like the composition – it was a clever move to put the main subject mostly in the left half of the image, this adds tension and interest to the image. The light is not thrilling, yes, but it nicely shows the depth of the building without adding any harsh shadows. And indeed the fact that the pond is filled and provides a nice reflection is a big plus. – Aristeas (talk) 15:26, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
