[edit]Nominierung
[edit]Leitsätze für die Nominierung
[edit]Bitte lies alle Leitsätze vor der Nominierung.
Dies ist eine Zusammenfassung von Kriterien, auf die du bei der Einreichung und Bewertung von Exzellenz-Kandidaten achten solltest:
- Auflösung – Fotografien mit einer Auflösung unter 2 Millionen Pixel werden in der Regel abgelehnt, außer unter „stark mildernden Umständen“. Beachte, dass ein 1600 x 1200 großes Foto 1,92 Megapixel hat und damit weniger als 2 Millionen.
- Grafiken auf Commons können auch in anderen Weisen als zur Anzeige auf einen herkömmlichen Computerbildschirm verwendet werden. Sie können auch als Ausdruck oder zur Anzeige auf hochauflösenden Bildschirmen verwendet werden. Man kann nicht vorhersagen, welche Geräte in Zukunft Anwendung finden, deshalb ist es wichtig, dass die nominierten Bilder die höchstmögliche Auflösung haben.
- Eingescannte Bilder – solange es keine offizielle Richtlinie gibt, findet man unter Help:Scannen für verschiedene Typen von Bildern Hinweise für die Vorbereitung, die hilfreich sein können.
- Fokus – jedes wichtige Objekt im Bild sollte normalerweise scharf sein.
- Vordergrund und Hintergrund – Objekte im Vorder- und Hintergrund können stören. Kontrolliere, ob etwas vor dem Motiv des Bildes wichtige Elemente verdeckt. Auch soll nichts im Hintergrund die Komposition verderben, zum Beispiel eine Straßenlampe, die über dem Kopf einer abgebildeten Person „steht“.
- Allgemeine Qualität – nominierte Bilder sollten von hoher technischer Qualität sein.
- Digitale Manipulationen betrügen nicht in jedem Fall den Betrachter. Digitale Nachbearbeitungen, um Fehler von Fotografien zu korrigieren, sind allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, sie sind begrenzt und gut gemacht, ohne dabei betrügen zu wollen. Akzeptiert werden normalerweise Beschneiden, perspektivische Korrekturen, Schärfen und Verwischen sowie Farb- und Belichtungskorrekturen. Umfangreichere Korrekturen wie das Entfernen von störenden Hintergrundobjekten sollten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe der Vorlage {{Retouched picture}} klar beschrieben werden. Nicht oder falsch beschriebenen Manipulationen, die dazu führen, dass das Hauptmotiv falsch dargestellt wird, sind unter keinen Umständen akzeptabel.
- Wert – unser Hauptziel ist das Hervorheben der wertvollsten Bilder von allen anderen. Bilder sollten irgendwie etwas Besonderes sein. Darum sei dir bewusst, dass:
- nahezu jeder Sonnenuntergang ästhetisch ansprechend ist und die meisten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied aufweisen zu anderen,
- Nachtaufnahmen hübsch sind, aber dass man normalerweise mit Aufnahmen bei Tag mehr Details zeigen kann,
- schön nicht immer wertvoll bedeuten muss.
Auf der fachlichen Seite gibt es die Belichtung, die Komposition, die Bewegungskontrolle und die Fokustiefe zu beachten.
- Belichtung bezieht sich auf die Verschluss-Blende-Kombination, die ein Bild mit einer Tonkurve wiedergibt. Idealerweise bildet diese Tonkurve in akzeptabler Genauigkeit Schatten- und Spitzlichtbereiche im Bild ab. Dies nennt man „Belichtungsspielraum“. Bilder können im niedrigen Teil der Tonkurve (unterer Bereich), im mittleren (mittlerer Bereich) oder hohen Teil (oberer Bereich) liegen. Digitale Kameras (oder Bilder) haben einen engeren Belichtungsspielraum als Fotofilme. Fehlende Genauigkeit im Schattenbereich ist nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil. Tatsächlich kann dies ein gewünschter Effekt sein. Eingebrannte Spitzenlichter sind dagegen ein störendes Element.
- Komposition bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Elemente im Bild selbst. Die „Drittel-Regel“ ist ein guter Grundsatz für die Komposition und ein Erbe der Gemäldemalerei. Die Idee ist, das Bild mit jeweils zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Linien zu teilen. Dadurch wird das Bild in horizontale und vertikale Drittel geteilt. Das Motiv im Zentrum des Bildes zu platzieren, ist oft weniger interessant, als es auf einem der vier Schnittpunkte der horizontalen und vertikalen Schnittlinien zu platzieren. Der Horizont sollte eigentlich niemals in der Mitte des Bildes liegen, wo er das Bild in zwei Hälften „teilt“. Die obere oder untere horizontale Linie ist oft eine gute Wahl. Der Hauptgedanke ist, den Raum zu nutzen, um ein dynamisches Bild zu schaffen.
- Bewegungskontrolle bezieht sich auf die Weise, wie die Bewegung im Bild abgebildet wird. Die Bewegung kann stillstehend oder verschwommen sein. Weder das eine noch das andere ist besser; es kommt auf den Zweck der Aufnahme an. Bewegung ist relativ innerhalb der Objekte des Bildes. Zum Beispiel vermittelt uns das Fotografieren eines relativ zum Hintergrund stillstehenden Rennwagens kein Gefühl für das Tempo oder die Bewegung. Also zwingt uns die Fototechnik, das Motiv stillstehend vor verschwommenem Hintergrund abzubilden, wodurch ein Gefühl für die Bewegung entsteht. Dies nennt man „Schwenken“. Andererseits kann eine Aufnahme eines im Vergleich zur Umgebung stillstehenden Basketballspielers während eines hohen Sprunges das „Unnatürliche“ der Natur dieser Pose sichtbar machen.
- Fokustiefe (DOF – Depth Of Field) bezieht sich auf den Fokusbereich vor und hinter dem Hauptmotiv. Die Fokustiefe wird abhängig von den spezifischen Erfordernissen jedes Bildes gewählt. Große oder kleine Fokustiefe kann auf die eine oder andere Weise die Qualität der Aufnahme vergrößern oder schmälern. Geringe Fokustiefe kann die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hauptmotiv des Bildes lenken, das Hauptmotiv erscheint dadurch von seiner Umgebung gelöst. Hohe Fokustiefe bringt Abstände zwischen Motiven zur Geltung. Objektive mit kurzer Brennweite (Weitwinkel) ergeben eine hohe Fokustiefe, umgekehrt haben Objektive mit langer Brennweite (Teleobjektive) eine flache Fokustiefe. Kleine Blendenöffnungen bringen große Fokustiefe, und umgekehrt große Blendenöffnungen bringen flache Fokustiefen.
Bei den grafischen Elementen gibt es Form, Volumen, Farbe, Struktur, Perspektive, Balance, Proportion, usw.
- Form bezieht sich auf den Umriss des Hauptmotivs.
- Volumen bezieht sich die dreidimensionale Qualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenlicht herausgebildet. Im Gegenteil zum allgemeinen Glauben ist Frontbeleuchtung nicht die beste Wahl. Frontbeleuchtung lässt das Motiv abflachen. Das beste Tageslicht hat man am frühen Morgen oder nachmittags.
- Farbe ist wichtig. Übersättigte Farben sind nicht gut.
- Struktur bezieht sich auf die Oberflächenqualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenbeleuchtung verbessert.
- Perspektive bezieht sich auf den „Grad“ zusammen mit Linien, die in einen Fluchtpunkt innerhalb oder außerhalb des Bildes enden.
- Balance bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Motive innerhalb des Bildes, die entweder das scheinbar gleiche Gewicht haben oder schwerer auf einer Seite erscheinen.
- Proportion bezieht sich auf die Größenunterschiede der Objekte im Bild. Normalerweise tendieren wir dazu, kleine Gegenstände klein im Vergleich zu anderen darzustellen. Eine gute Methode kann aber sein, kleine Objekte groß im Gegensatz zu wirklichen Größenverhältnissen abzubilden. Zum Beispiel: Eine kleine Blume überwiegt gegenüber einem großen Berg. Dies nennt man Maßstabsinversion.
- Nicht alle Elemente müssen berücksichtigt werden. Einige Fotografien können anhand individueller Eigenschaften beurteilt werden. Für ein Bild kann die Farbe oder die Struktur wichtig sein, oder Farbe und Strukur, usw.
- Symbolische Aussage oder Relevanz…. Der Meinungskrieg kann hier beginnen…. Ein schlechtes Bild von einem sehr schwierigen Motiv ist ein besseres Bild als ein gutes Bild von einem gewöhnlichen Motiv. Ein gutes Bild von einem schwierigen Motiv ist ein außergewöhnliches Foto.
- Bilder können kulturell beeinflusst sein durch den Fotografen und/oder den Betrachter. Die Bedeutung des Bildes sollte vor dem kulturellen Hintergrund des Bildes beurteilt werden, nicht durch den kulturellen Hintergrund des Betrachters. Ein Bild „spricht“ zu Menschen und hat die Möglichkeit, Emotionen auszulösen, wie zum Beispiel Zärtlichkeit, Zorn, Ablehnung, Heiterkeit, Traurigkeit usw. Gute Fotografen sind nicht darauf beschränkt, gefällige Emotionen zu provozieren.

Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten
[edit]Allgemeine Regeln
[edit]- Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt). Also dauert der Abstimmungs-Zeitraum 9 Tage, plus die Stunden bis zum Ende von Tag 9. Stimmen, die an Tag 10 oder danach abgeben wurden, werden nicht gezählt.
- Nominierungen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Mitwirken bei Diskussionen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Nur Nutzer mit einem commons-account, der mindestens 10 Tage alt ist und 50 Beiträge hat, können wählen. Ausnahme: Die eigene Nominierung kann gewählt werden, unabhängig von Alter und Beiträge.
- Die Nominierung zählt nicht als Stimme. Unterstützung muss explizit angegeben werden.
- Nominierungen können vom Einsteller jederzeit zurückgezogen werden. Dies geschieht einfach durch das Schreiben von „I withdraw my nomination“ (eng. Ich ziehe meine Nominierung zurück)
oder durch Hinzufügen von{{withdraw}} ~~~~. - Denke daran, das Ziel von Wikimedia Commons ist es, einen zentralen Speicher für freie Bilder, genutzt von allen Wikimedia-Projekten, bereitzustellen, einschließlich für mögliche zukünftige Projekte. Dies ist nicht einfach ein Speicher für Wikipedia-Bilder, deshalb sollten hier die Bilder nicht danach beurteilt werden, ob sie zu diesem Projekt passen.
- Bilder können vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen werden („Regel des 5. Tages“):
- Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
- Wenn sie 10 oder mehr Pro und kein Kontra erhalten haben.
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPX}} markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden, vorausgesetzt, das Bild hat außer von den Einstellern keine positiven Stimmen (Unterstützung) erhalten.
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPD}} (FP denied) markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden.
- Es dürfen von einem Benutzer maximal 2 Nominierungen gleichzeitig platziert werden.
Regeln zur Wahl und Abwahl
[edit]Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:
- Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
- Mindestens 7 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
- Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
- Zwei verschiedene Versionen desselben Bildes können nicht beide exzellent werden, sondern nur das mit der höheren Zahl an Stimmen.
Die Abwahl-Regeln sind dieselben wie zur Wahl der exzellenten Bilder bei gleichbleibenden Abstimmungs-Zeitraum. Die Regel des 5. Tages gilt für Abwahlkandidaten, die keine Stimme für die Aberkennung des Exzellenz-Status' bis zum Tag 5 erhalten haben, außer die des Antragstellers.
Ein erfahrener Nutzer kann die Anfrage beenden. Wie man eine Anfrage beendet, siehe unter Commons:Kandidaten für exzellente Bilder/Was tun, wenn der Abstimmungszeitraum zu Ende ist.
Vor allem sei freundlich
[edit]Bitte bedenke, dass das Bild, das du beurteilst, das wohlüberlegte Werk von jemandem ist. Vermeide Phrasen wie „it looks terrible“ (eng. sieht schrecklich aus) oder „I hate it“ (eng. Ich hasse es). Wenn du dagegen Stellung nehmen musst, tu dies bitte mit Rücksichtnahme. Bedenke außerdem, dass deine Englischkenntnisse nicht die gleichen sein müssen wie die eines anderen. Wähle deine Worte sorgfältig.
Viel Spaß beim Bewerten …, und denke daran: Alle Regeln können gebrochen werden.

Info Bluestriped fangblenny (Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos), Ambalihabe, Madagascar. It's found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Ocean and reaches a maximal length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in). They hide in deserted worm tubes or other small holes. Bluestriped fangblenny mimic the juvenile bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) to enable them to loiter at cleaner stations and dupe clients waiting to be cleaned. They can also bite divers when alarmed. Note: there are no FPs on Commons of the genus Plagiotremus that includes 11 species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:56, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Info St. Paul's Cathedral, completed in 1846, is the seat of the Diocese of Huron and the oldest church in London, Ontario, Canada. The church is still extant, but the view shown here is blocked entirely by trees these days. While browsing historical postcards during a recent trip, I saw this item and thought the mood of the winter night, the turn-of-the-century artstyle, and the detailed depiction of the church and its supporting buildings was excellent. (Even better, the post-mark on the reverse gives a very explicit publication date for copyright status).

Support A truly striking image with amazing colors and a strong visual impact. Imho, it is a great find and worth a careful technical refinement. I have prepared a slightly improved version as a suggestion. I adjusted the image at 100% view to reduce visible noise, refine sharpness, and minimize the slight blur on the left side.

Info All by me. Stitched panorama, 22 400 × 7 467 px (167 MP). There is one FP of a related view, MontBlanc2c.jpg (2007, 18 MP), but the framing is different. I am not proposing a replacement.

Comment I was about to mention MontBlanc2c.jpg (It was taken by my friend and I was next to him, taking some much less impressive photos. Brings back memories!). This has a more fortunate lighting and clouds add some mystic. But it lacks room around the subject IMO. On closer inspection, I also notice Adobe still hasn't figured out processing Fuji's x-trans' RAW. You should give Iridient (or something else) a chance :) - Benh (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Comment Per Benh. This is on the right track for becoming a FP, but needs more space to breathe! Also seems a but dull to me in regards of highlights/shadows. --Aciarium ⚒ (talk) 21:08, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- Benh and Aciarium: on this specific file I have a little wiggle room of a few 100 pixels at the top, but I'm not sure it would really add to the picture. I also have the same photo taken with my 18mm but then it's not as detailed because it is not a panorama. In a way I feel the cloud left to the top makes it look tighter than it really is. I could upload a new version if you want. Espandero (talk) 12:35, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Info Benh, Aciarium and Alvesgaspar: I've uploaded a new version, using all the space I've got to the top. Once again I don't think the top is that tightly cropped, but the cloud gives that impression. --Espandero (talk) 14:36, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Espandero: Compared to the original version the image doesn't feel as cramped anymore. But it still doesn't convince me due to the contrast being rather dull (and also per Alves and the Cosmonaut). --Aciarium ⚒ (talk) 22:37, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Question This is an impressive picture, comparable to the ones made by our best macro photographers. But this result cannot be obtained with a single shot. If focus stacking was used, that should be mentioned in the image file. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:18, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- Some regular FPC contributors do not always provide detailed documentation for their images, and questions about the techniques used may therefore remain unanswered. Since the photographer was not the person who nominated the image, they may not see this discussion, but one possible explanation is that several photographs were combined using an image-stacking technique. Whatever the method, the final result is impressive and would certainly be interesting to learn more about Wilfredor (talk) 20:00, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- First of all,
Strong support. Very good composition, pleasant colors, and – to state the obvious – incredible resolution. In this particular case, I don't think the missing retouched-picture tag is that big of an issue, since there are is no apparent reason not to assume good faith. Alvesgaspar and Wilfredor made me realize that maybe it would be a good idea to reconsider if and how such "etiquette" rules should be enforced in the future. --Aciarium ⚒ (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- Ever in QIC and also in FPC, contributors are generally encouraged to provide at least a proper English description, together with useful information such as geolocation, a panorama designation when applicable, complete EXIF data, the often-overlooked P180 statement, and appropriate categorization, italicized name on specimens, etc... Although many of these expectations are not formally written rules, they have gradually become established community practices over time. They help reviewers understand how an image was produced and properly document it, but they can also be confusing and burdensome for newcomers who may not yet be familiar with these unwritten conventions. More recently, however, a formal requirement was approved, the description must clearly state whether artificial intelligence was used, either partially or entirely, in creating the image.

- I’m not the photographer, but I believe it is alive. I just read about a technique that uses focus stacking without needing a tripod; instead, the photographer moves millimeters closer to the subject while shooting a 6 fps burst, which can be enough to produce ultra-sharp images.

Comment: just a comment now, I'm not ready to vote yet. It looks very nice at first glance. However, there are at least two light sources: one on the top right and one on the top left. And one more to illuminate the crisscrossed pepper pods. The smoke or steam looks artificial. A lit incense stick was likely used to create so strong smoky effect.

This image looks very appetizing, especially with its spicy character, which I particularly enjoy....mmmm. That said, and sorry for being a party pooper, the composition feels somewhat tight and confined. The limited space and cropped elements make the image appear slightly cluttered.

Support Despite the grey sky, nice colors and good composition. --Yann (talk) 09:04, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Support Not as high resolution as the existing FP, but a wider view and very different light. Both can be featured IMO. Cmao20 (talk) 12:19, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Oppose An impressibe building and a well composed photo. But light is not the best, resulting in dull colours and small contrast. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:33, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Support - I'd have preferred a bit looser of a crop, but still very nice. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:33, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Weak oppose Very cute and overall good but I'm not fully convinced this is FP when a lot of it, including the eyes and nose, are not in focus. I also suspect the white balance is too warm. Cmao20 (talk) 12:18, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Unsharp, too tight crop, white balance probably off. Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:30, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Support, though I think Commons:Featured_pictures/Photo_techniques/Black_and_White#Objects would be a better target gallery. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:38, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Comment +1, I agree with Chris. I took the liberty of changing the gallery link to the one he suggested. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:10, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, I don't see the reason for black and white here, and the shallow depth of field plus visible blurry spot on the lens mean this isn't FP to me. Cmao20 (talk) 12:16, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Neutral I like it, and appreciate the B&W choice, though I do think the DOF is unfortunate -- I want hat detail! :) — Rhododendrites talk | 18:37, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Comment I think this photo is superior without any doubt, but I also think that images like File:Spain team celebrating Argentina v Spain 19 July 2026-337.jpg, File:Dani Olmo Argentina v Spain 19 July 2026-346.jpg, File:Alex Grimaldo Spain team Argentina v Spain 19 July 2026-351.jpg show more emotion (maybe more "wow"), while your nomination is more documenting the celebration as whole. Any way, I think one of these images will be promoted :) --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 12:49, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- Btw, I was about to nominate of these images either :D --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 12:51, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Comment A pity that the president is not shown on this photo. Was he cloned off?... :)) -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:00, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Visibly tilted and has half a guy's arm on the left hand side (with clear red colour fringing too). Cmao20 (talk) 18:59, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Weak oppose The composition is too tight; besides, Trump is missing. --Wilfredor (talk) 00:12, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Agree with Wilfredor about the composition, sorry Cmao20 (talk) 12:09, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Support This guys made me happy, how couldn't I support this exceptional capture? :) And now more objectively, Trump hasn't been cloned out there, I believe that from this angle he's just on the right (see shoe tip) and therefore the tighter crop, but overall a great moment and great to have a free license shot of this moment.
