[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.

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.

Comment Compared to other FP, I have the feeling that the technical quality may be deemed insufficient. There's visible noise, especially on the dark wooded structures, and a lack of crisp (sharpness). You may try a highpass sharpening to augment the "crispness".

Comment Stunning photo and definitely a support from me, but don't you have two active nominations already? AVDLCZ (talk) 18:04, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- One of Cmao20's noms reached it's 5th day limit at 15:21, 23 April 2025 with over 10 'supports' and no 'oppose'. This nom was created 13 minutes later. The FPCBot only makes three runs per 24 hours and close the noms having reached the limits at those points. Many of us are simply lazy, and wait for the FPCBot closing before making our new noms, but users who can count for themselves are welcome to make a new nom as soon as one is 'out'. It's good to not rely too much on the FPCBot, since it malfunctions from time to time and we need to do everything manually then. Oh, and something I forgot to mention in my previous lesson: If you "FPD" a nom, you don't 'oppose' it for that. You just quietly put the FPD on the nom and sign. An FPD is not grounds for opposing. --Cart (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

- Just a caution, this is a evaluated, price-winning photo and it should not be touched per COM:OVERWRITE. Any alterations must be done on a separate file. Besides that, I don't mind the road at the bottom, it provides context and finishes the compo. --Cart (talk) 10:53, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Info (No, not a scene from Wicked...) Despite the less colorful aurora, this is one of my own favorite aurora photos because of its spooky composition, incidentally shot during Halloween season. The aurora was rather faint, making it appear dark green against the black sky in a way that didn’t overwhelm the stars or the little settlement below, the wispy clouds adding to the atmosphere. And of course, the meteorite that made a perfect appearance for a couple of seconds.
- The photo is made as a panorama, a trick I learned from another aurora photographer, and I thought I’d share with people here who might like to try similar shots. When you photograph the aurora, your camera is almost always tilted upward which results in leaning buildings and trees. Correcting that, you get those big pesky empty triangles in the lower corners. So you take your main photo and then add one on each side of it to fill in those triangles. That way you get a decent composition too. This is not something you need to think about if you shoot auroras in a landscape that doesn’t require perspective correction. For newbie aurora hunters, I always recommend starting at a beach or on a hill, where you can enjoy the show instead of thinking about the technicalities.

Comment Very nice mood and a good representation, but the unfortunate top crop with abruptly cut off tree and ridge, ruins the image for me, sorry. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:31, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry but I agree with some of what UnpetitproleX says. The cut of tree top is unavoidable, but too many other elements could be used better in frame. I keep wanting to move the camera a bit to the right and up, to avoid the partial tree, include a little more of the stream's bank on the right side and clear the ridge of the hill. --Cart (talk) 11:38, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment It should be renamed. Yann (talk) 13:23, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
- 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)

Oppose Nice shot, certain QI, but otherwise I cannot find anything special about it. Sorry --A.Savin 09:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
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. Image quality is of course as high as ever and I like the motif but it doesn't feel like a featured picture to me. Cmao20 (talk) 12:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose sorry. Normally scenes like this one have problems like overexposed highlights, harsh shadows and some noise in the dark areas. We all try to mitigate these problems, but when we go too far a photo can get an unnatural, artificial look, and IMHO this has happened here. There are no (real) shadows in the image, and in areas with slight shadows (e.g. at the trunks of the trees at the left), the image has a painterly look, like some noise reduction tools produce it. Honestly when looking at these details I wondered first whether this is an AI-generated image. As it isn’t, as the Exif data state, I can only assume that the post-processing has caused this look. In any case, the result looks too artificial for my poor old eyes, sorry. – Aristeas (talk) 06:44, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment the scene is a bit cluttered, the upper and lower crops (perhaps even right) are not satisfactory and I'm also not sure of the angle. That said, I understand that this must not have been easy to photograph. But I'm not convinced for FP here. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 12:47, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

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)

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)
- 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)
- 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)

Neutral For me a bit too much floor in relation to the ceiling, otherwise good. --A.Savin 09:11, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- 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)

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)
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)
Strong support Great, creative way to depict this work of art Cmao20 (talk) 15:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
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)

Support -- Rolf Kranz (talk) 18:46, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
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)
Support While I wish for less shadows on the left, the image conveys strong emotions that a different light would not be able to convey. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 22:56, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
