Det här är kandidater till att bli utvalda bilder.
För ett arkiv av tidigare nominerade se: Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log
Det finns också en kronologisk lista av utvalda bilder.
Nominering[edit]
Om du tror att du har funnit eller skapat en bild som kan anses värdefull, lägg till den här nedan i sektionen för nomineringar, högst upp i listan, med hjälp av den här länken (Hjälp). För det behöver du inte ha en inloggning, även anonyma användare får nominera.
Men innan du nominerar, kolla upp så att bilden har lämplig bildbeskrivning och licens.
Omröstningsregler[edit]
- Röstningen pågår i 9 dagar. På den 10:e dagen blir resultatet fastställt.
- Om en bild efter 5 dagar inte fått någon mer positiv röst än från den som nominerade, så kan kandidaten tas bort ifrån sidan.
- Nomineringar ifrån oinloggade bidragsgivare är välkomna
- Bidrag ifrån oinloggade bidragsgivare till diskussionen är välkomna
- Röstning från oinloggade bidragsgivare räknas inte
- En nominering räknas inte som en röst, men den som nominerar får rösta
- Den som nominerar en bild kan när som helst ta bort bilden ifrån omröstningen
En kandidat kommer att bli en utvald bild om följande krav uppfylls:
- Lämplig licens (så klart)
- Minst 7 stödjande röster
- Förhållande mellan stödjande/motsättande röster på minst 2/1 (minst två tredjedels majoritet)
- Två olika versioner av samma bild kan inte båda bli utvalda; endast den med högst antal stödjande röster blir utvald.
Röstning kan göras med "{{Support}}" (stöd) eller "{{Oppose}}" (ej stöd), neutralitet kan anges med "{{Neutral}}".
Ta bort utvald-status ifrån bilder[edit]
Efterhand kan standarden för utvalda bilder ändras. Bilder som tidigare var tillräckligt bra, kanske inte längre anses vara det. Här listas bilder som du tycker inte längre förtjänar att vara utvalda bilder. Då behövs 2/3 majoritet (och minst 7 röster) som håller med om att ta bort utvald-statusen ifrån bilden. Om inte 2/3 av de röstande håller med om att ta bort den, så är bilden fortsatt utvald. Här röstar man med {{Keep}} (bilden förtjänar att kvarstå som utvald) or {{Delist}} (bilden förtjänar inte att kvarstå som utvald). När du nominerar en bild här, ta med länken till den ursprungliga utvald-bild-nomineringen (den finns under Länkar på bildens beskrivningssida. Använd den här länken för att lägga till en borttags-kandidat.

Info Red-mouthed goby (Gobius cruentatus), Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. This species of goby is native to the Eastern Atlantic Ocean from southwestern Ireland to the coasts of Morocco and Senegal, and also in the Mediterranean Sea where it occurs in inshore waters at depths of from 15 to 40 metres (49 to 131 ft) in areas with rocky or sandy substrates or in meadows of sea-grass. Gobius cruentatus can reach a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) TL. It may also be found in the aquarium trade. Note: if successful it would be the first FP of the genus Gobius. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:27, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Comment Thank you. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:42, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I’m not seeing (as the title suggests) "children learning to play the drum", I’m seeing one child holding one and others standing in the background unconnected. Well, that might be me, but it’s a bit misleading: a caption should not be necessary for understanding an image, putting it into context. Pushing this issue aside, next thing I see a cluttered and busy background, and the crop with the cut-off hand (and head, in the background) is really a bit unfortunate. Zooming in, the focus appears to be on the drum’s near edge, the face laughing so happily is considerably unsharp. Adding the blueish colours to that, while it’s certainly a nice and moodful image, I do not see one of our very very best ones here. --Kreuzschnabel 22:20, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Support Technically imperfect, but we have very few images on this subject. I'm already tired of seeing photos of outstanding buildings and giving less importance to places where there are no developed western things or where there is no means of buying super cameras to make perfect images. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:51, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment Having been twice to Ghana I sympathise with Wilfredo's comments, but the camera is good quality. However, 1/160 sec was not fast enough to ensure that the child's face is in focus (or the autofocus needs recalibation). The child's hand has also been cropped.

Oppose This scene could be an FP, but in this one the light is just too harsh. Daniel Case (talk) 16:55, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Not a bad composition indeed, but the harsh light mentioned by Daniel spoils it, plus some overexposure leading to washed-out and blueish colours. This might be saved in postprocessing. After five minutes with the JPG in GIMP, I came up with this here (downscaled to ⅓ without losing much detail), but that work should be done from the raw file of course. Furthermore, there’s sharpness. The focus is on the very foreground, on the bottom edge (why?) which is clearly not a winning point, and defocused scenery cannot be sharpened by software. No, never. --Kreuzschnabel 17:39, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
Question Is someone trying to offer the other version as an alternate? I would vote for it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:17, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Please don’t, at least not yet :) my suggestion is meant to be an example to outline what I meant by overexposure and washed-out colours. It has been done from the JPG as 2nd generation (so artifacts are building up) instead of the raw file, and considerably downscaled (to show the poor detail in the nomination – 24 mpix downscaled into 2⅔ mpix with no loss to speak of). If the raw file is still with us, I’d like to have a try on it, but it won’t help the sharpness issue. I would oppose as well I’m afraid. --Kreuzschnabel 19:12, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps @Tagooty: can help, since they took this picture. I do like the improved version, but the resolution is way too reduced (which, I understand, is because it’s only meant to demonstrate the desired improvements). UnpetitproleX (Talk) 20:17, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Done @Kreuzschnabel, Daniel Case, Ikan Kekek, and UnpetitproleX: Please review the improved version, with reduced exposure and other improvements. In this high altitude (12,000') semi-desert the mid-day light is naturally harsh. I find the scene is fairly sharp from the foreground to the distant ridgeline. --Tagooty (talk) 01:55, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment Please make sure there's only one image we can see; otherwise, I don't know what I'm supposed to judge. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:59, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Tagooty: It is a little better, in that I don't reflexively squint when I look at it. But Kreuzchnabel did this by downsampling heavily, and that is generally met with disapproval here, as his comment indicates. I am not changing my !vote. Daniel Case (talk) 02:15, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment @Daniel Case and Ikan Kekek: Sorry for the confusion. I had uploaded a new version of the original image. To avoid confusion, I've modified Kreuzchnabel's comment to not display his image (his link is retained). Please click on the original image for the new version. --Tagooty (talk) 03:11, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment @Tagooty: In order to avoid confusion (we’re having votings on different images mixed up now), and to not meddle with others’ comments (which is not considered good practice here), it would be much wiser to withdraw this nomination and place a new one for the reworked image. And it would be still a bit wiser to upload the reworked image under a new name so the nomination subpages archived refer to their respective image versions in question. --Kreuzschnabel 07:17, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Kreuzschnabel: My apologies for the modification to your comment. --Tagooty (talk) 15:29, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- As the nominator, I’ll withdraw and renominate. There seems to be too much confusion. Though one thing someone more experienced should clarify to me: will the nomination be counted as a renomination (ie do I need to put a /2 in the nomination) and if so do I need to wait till this nomination is moved to the archives? UnpetitproleX (Talk) 14:21, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Info @UnpetitproleX: Once you add the withdraw template, the nomination will soon be closed and removed from the FPC page. After closure, renomination can be done with a /2 so the original nomination and its discussion is not disturbed. The reason for the renomination should be mentioned. --Tagooty (talk) 01:10, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Comment Technical quality is OK (though not astonishing), but the whole thing is kind of pointless as it is now. Political caricatures are unlike most other kinds of visual arts in that they not only benefit from but essentially require knowledge about their context. I don't expect the description to explain the whole situation to me (although that would be great). But it should at least tell me who these people are supposed to be and what the general context is. I shouldn't have to use Google to find out about the en:Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act. --El Grafo (talk) 07:18, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment I agree with this. A great image but not a huge photo, but regardless of whether it's nominated here or at COM:VIC, background information is needed in the file description. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:28, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'd also be happier if it wasn't relatively low resolution, and had a more sensitive adjustment. It feels like autolevels. This is little more than a fat joke at Taft's expense, and I'd want to tweak the colours, but it's better reproduction quality. . Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:56, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Comment I don't study these ceiling images, but this looks soft. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:38, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Weak support Big pro: Normally we try to photograph such domes symetrically (looking exactly upwards); often this is not possible and a sloped view is all we can achieve, but most times the result is not appealing. You have managed to get a very attractive composition from the slightly sloped view – bravo! In addition the crepuscular rays (?) from the dome windows add a nice effect. – Neutral: Personally I would not mind the little noise: Given the resolution it is low, it is natural photon noise, and I like a little bit of noise much better than a mushy picture resulting from strong noise reduction. But you could try to increase the colour noise removal only (without increasing the monotone noise removal); this could give a cleaner result without reducing details. – Problems: The level of details could be higher; theoretically it should be possible to get more of the dome sharp at 24mm and f/8 (maybe the lens has got some field curvature which counteracts this?). I am not sure about the white balance and the colours – it seems too bluish/greenish. And it’s natural that some of the windows are blown, but nevertheless it would be better if the bars would be visible in all/most windows. --Aristeas (talk) 09:38, 4 July 2022 (UTC) Changed from neutral to WS after reading my own evaluation again. --Aristeas (talk) 11:24, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Support Well executed, good time of day, focused and striking composition. Noise and sharpness could be improved with Topaz or other artificial intelligence tools that add false details, I prefer this type of noisy image because in the noise there is also important information that should not be removed or changed by details generated by an AI.--Wilfredor (talk) 11:03, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Neutral I don't know. The quality is barely OK. But I understand tripods are forbidden there (I photographed it myself, and it doesn't look good). The feature is the the light beam.

Support Photography is more than just 100iso photographs with razor sharpness. Henri Cartier-Bresson's photographs were not razor sharp (very blurred) had high grain / high ISO. His photographs are lauded as masterpieces even to today due to subject matter and composition et al. In my humble opinion the architectural subject matter is exceptional including the capture of it in the photograph, it is a good piece of work. -- Mdbeckwith (talk) 17:53, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment A great statement, but typical Henri Cartier-Bresson photos are not static architecture shots (like this one), so IMHO the comparison is not 100% accurate ;–). Most (all?) theories of photography which I know, also from Cartier-Bresson’s time, apply different criteria to reportage photography vs. architectural/landscape photography vs. fashion photography vs. wildlife photography vs. portrait … everything in its own respect. It is arguable if we should compare our photos here with the work of classic photographers; but when we do it, we should compare our pictures to photographs of the same genre. Therefore for a mostly documentary Italian church photo like this one, we could compare e.g. photographs by Fratelli Alinari and by countless hard-working self-employed photographers like Giorgio Sommer. (Please be aware that the scans of their photos which we have at Commons often do not do justice to the quality of the original photos; the original prints are often of much better quality.) The result is simple: Although these photographers had to take care of a tremendous technical effort, which we can’t even imagine thanks to our digital cameras, and always had to carry their heavy view cameras, they attached greatest importance to a technically best possible image. And if we want to compare somewhat newer and certainly artistic photographs, e.g. the work of Cartier-Bresson’s contemporary Andreas Feininger may offer nice comparisons. Feiniger has worked in many genres, from reportage to macro to architecture photography, but he always selected the best possible tools – a Leica or medium-format camera for the reportage, a view camera for landscape and cityscape. He even constructed his own special ultra-telephoto view camera because no available camera was good enough. When Feininger rushed up the stairs of a New York skyscraper to photograph a special, unrepeatable lighting mood, he did not take his Leica, he still carried the big view camera. If one wants even more famous names, we can think of Ansel Adams who climbed the mountains with the view camera … These stories humble me; they remind me, at least, that while I may and must make compromises (for example, when the tripod is forbidden), I should still do everything as carefully as possible to meet the requirements and ideals of the genre in question; and for architectural and landscape photography this means to strive for the best possible techical quality. --Aristeas (talk) 08:11, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Support -- IamMM (talk) 04:25, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Beautiful subject, lovely colors, excellent level of detail and I don't really mind the shadows. But a few more frames would have been necessary to get the whole animal sharp: The edge of the front wing is very soft. It does seem to merge in with the background, which really messes with my depth perception. The repetitive wavy patterns in the background are weird too. Surely that must be an artifact of the stacking process - not necessarily the dark-bright-dark |||||-like pattern, but at least the vvvvv-like component on top of that? I'd be more lenient with a smaller subject, as I know optics can become quite tricky in the microscopic range, but judging this against other candidates in the 1:1-ish range, I'm tending towards opposing. Still on the edge, though, because it does have a lot of wow - might reconsider later ... --El Grafo (talk) 08:33, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Weak oppose
- Actually El Grafo the background is a comfy wicker chair! I had no time to move it out of the way as the moth moved. I had the camera's focus-bracketing image count set at 40. With a live animal in the open air, even that's a large number. I normally use 15 or 20. Would have needed around 70 to get nearest wing in focus, but only if I could have managed to get the camera to focus on the wing leading edge. For better or worse, I chose to focus on the front leg. Camera was on a monopod, braced against a wooden chair. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:49, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oh dear, thanks, that explains the pattern. Who would have thought! And if there's any part on that animal that can get away with being unsharp, it's exactly that wing. Oppose struck.

Comment Beautiful composition with color noise that feels like grain to me. What accounts for the unusual brown/green color in the sky? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:37, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- There's certainly something going on in the atmosphere. Warm early morning light hitting misty air could explain the orange/brownish component. Depending on geography, it could also be smog or a sand storm. If the camera is expecting something else and tries to compensate (EXIF says white balance was set to auto), I suppose that might lead to the slight green-ish tint? --El Grafo (talk) 09:01, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Info Dear reviewers @Agnes Monkelbaan, Charlesjsharp, Urban Versis 32, Aristeas, Ikan Kekek, Iifar, Daniel Case, Der Wolf im Wald, Florstein, and GRDN711: The remaining halo issues, mentioned by Ivar, didn't leave me in peace after my workday was over, so I retouched the file again – for the last time. In at least 15 positions I have carefully removed small and larger halo fragments. I'm sorry for the conscientious pinging. I could have done all the retouching work at once but I just didn't have enough time before. Best wishes :) -- Radomianin (talk) 15:20, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
Comment Not sure what you've done but the background is really blotchy; definitely still an oppose from me. Compare this with George's Alcea Rosea nomination and the quality difference is massive. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:36, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your comment. If you compare the first version directly with the last version, you can see the differences. The extensive retouching was mostly limited to the halos (stacking errors) around the petals. The artificial background I did not edit. Best wishes, -- Radomianin (talk) 21:10, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Oppose The leading lines of the pier converge so slowly that they meet at a point outside of the right edge of the frame, giving the composition an unsettling look. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:25, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Support IMHO a photo like this one is all about the atmosphere, the soft colours and the shadows, and for me it works well – it’s an impressive melancholic seascape. Regarding the composition I agree that a shorter focal length would have given faster converging lines and therefore a bit more depth and dramatic; but because it’s a quite, melancholic photo I can easily do without dramatic here. --Aristeas (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Support --Ezarateesteban 23:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose The structure is boring in my view. Not special, nor particularly interesting. Straight architecture. The sky is flat. Not clouds, no texture. The colors are not exceptional. The sand of the foreground, in the darkness, is unappealing. Overall I see a few ordinary silhouettes in an environment with dull gradients of colors -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:53, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I like the subtleties and shapes in this photo more than Basile does, but I don't see a great composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:58, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I'm glad to see a nominee here from Bulgaria, as my son was born there and we don't really have enough FPs from that country, but this is not going to be one. It's not the composition I mind ... it's a great mood and would be vastly improved by cropping out most of the beach. But technically it is far below FP standard—I would not even have promoted it at QIC. At full-res the pier shows signs of oversharpening, and the magenta CA on the sun is inexcusable in an FP.

Comment On a positive note, the phone camera does have one thing speaking for it. The wide angle lens exaggerates the size of the close fist in relation to the further away head. Normally you wouldn't want that in a portrait, but it makes a lot of sense here. --El Grafo (talk) 07:34, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Oppose good but far from outstanding in my view. Same criticism as my other reviews on similar subjects : simple composition with centered subject. Also like a few of your underwater pics I have reviewe, focus is off and this leads me to think your lens suffers from a backfocus issue. I don't think you can dive, photograph all corals you can and submit them all here. You ought to make some filtering beforehand on your side. - Benh (talk) 08:19, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Benh, Aristeas To my defense I can say that after having dived in the Red Sea 13 times I've only seen this coral once. Furthermore I find the composition not bad at all. Image the coral reefs like a kind of part lot with tons of cars closed to each other, this coral is standalone and I used a side lighting to show its nice texture. --Poco a poco (talk) 14:15, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Support I like everything about the image except for the leaves and other things in the water, but that can't really be helped. — Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 13:27, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Oppose What I don’t like in the first place is the overexposed cut-off building to the right. Then, it’s the framing. Obviously the photographer was in for the reflection but that don’t really work here, it’s a bit too cluttered overall, and so the portrait orientation looks odd. I’d much prefer a square crop as suggested on the nomination page, and with the camera shifted a bit to the left, the building on the right could be entirely outside the frame. That would give a very much clearer composition. As it is, it’s a bit arbitrary with the cut-off houses on both sides. Besides, it would eliminate "the leaves and other things in the water". --Kreuzschnabel 20:50, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Neutral The alternative composition suggested by Kreuz would be excellent and I would suggest (if you, Gzen92, can visit beautiful Colmar again) to try it. But IMHO this does not mean that the composition of the present photo is bad; it is a nice vanishing-point view; I would just crop a little (!) bit at the top and bottom. However the overexposed façades are IMHO a problem. Most digital cameras which I know tend to overexpose the highlights in such a situation (the manufacturers seem to adhere to some outdated ideas about “getting the midtones right”); often it is necessary to underexpose such a scene a bit (maybe by 2/3 steps) in order to preserve the highlights, and then to make the photo brighter again (preserving the highlights) in post-processing. Of course this approach can be difficult with JPEG images, it works better when you take photos in the raw image format. Another problem is the white balance; this could be improved a bit in post, too, especially when working with a raw image file, but it may be even better to take such photos in another season – midday light in June makes such photos often a bit unappealing, the sun is just too high (which results in overexposed bright areas and black shadows) and the light too cold. No offence, just some remarks which I hope to be helpful. --Aristeas (talk) 15:28, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Comment I think I'd support the crop ... as it is I find the debris floating in the water at the foreground to be somewhat off-putting, and the crop gets rid of most of it. Daniel Case (talk) 18:31, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose Thoughtful composition but doesn't really work for me. It feels tense in the middle and nothing much is happening in the sky. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:03, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
