[edit]

  • Nomination Museo de Arte contemporáneo de Caracas, Venezuela --The Photographer 19:28, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline  Oppose For a QI of an architectural structure, there are too many people in front of the entrance. Plus the colour of their clothing is attracting additional attention. The photo looks more like a shot for the family album. No QI for me, sorry. --Cccefalon 07:07, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
     Comment Please be more gentle with your comments, remember that this is the work of someone. On the other hand, there are places where it is not possible to switch off people, public places that are made for people to visit. --The Photographer 15:13, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
    It was not meant as an offense. I always try to find out, how a photo can become a QI and how I can push people beyond their limits to achieve it. Sometimes however, the circumstances are against a QI promotion and it might be hard to wait long time to get the perfect shot, but thats photographers life - it's like being a hunter ... I'm not against the presence of people in a photo. But in this special case, the man in red shirt and the family with the baby buggy are distracting the viewer from the building. If they were standing left or right side of the entrance, it might have been better. So next time, wait another three minutes and the motif might show up clearly. --Cccefalon 18:38, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
    I waited about an hour until the museum was closed. But Caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. You can die for a pair of shoes and much more easy for a camera. All this is completely circumstantial and I understand. However, thanks for your review. Simply removed from your comment "This looks like a family album." A hug. --The Photographer 18:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Young European hare (Lepus europaeus) --Urmas83 15:47, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline  Oppose Though the very blurry foreground could be avoided by a tighter crop, I think that the overall sharpness is not enough (DOF obviously too shallow) plus the gras stem in front of the animal is disturbing. --Cccefalon 08:16, 27 December 2013 (UTC) Dof is shallow but hare is sharp and the background and foreground is not important. Lets see what others think.--Urmas83 09:59, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment This is a very good picture, I will support this picture if the branch in front is removed cloning. Please remember to leave a line between a nomination and another to do the process easier. (This comment is for this image) --The Photographer 14:14, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Nomination Wooden church of the Epiphany (1693) in Kuhaiv, Pustomyty Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. Architectural monument of the national significance №495/1. By User:SvartKat --Ahonc 21:54, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline  Oppose The perspective distortion cannot be fixed because there is too few space left on top. --Cccefalon 13:12, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
    Not sure. Let's give a chance to try.--Jebulon 16:12, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
    Considering the odd resolution of 3,774 × 2,527 and the file size, I think that the author already gave us full camera resolution. Before declining, I tried myself, using the fence poles and the cross on top of the church as reference. The result was, that the cross is crossing the border limits. But no problem, let User:SvartKat try herself. --Cccefalon 18:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
    She had already uploaded highest resolution (This photo took 7th place in Ukrainian WLM, and we asked all authors from top-10 to upload high-resolution images)--Ahonc 23:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Really tough one. I think it is a good photo and can be very useful for Wikipedia, but I see clear field curvature in the top corners and sharpness really isn't quite great overall from a technical POV --DXR 21:29, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Town-hall Walldorf by night --NorbertNagel 11:37, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
    Needs some perspective correction, it can get tricky btw Poco a poco 11:46, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
    What is wrong with the perspective? All vertical lines are vertical IMO. --NorbertNagel 11:59, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
    Verticals are not everything, I understand but horizontals will not always be horinzontal, but in this case there is something wrong, because from that perspective it shouldn't be that the top part of the building is horizontal, but the lower is not. Taking the picture from a side I'd expect a similar effect in both sides (with a vanishing point), but this one looks distorted to me Poco a poco 12:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

    Thanks for clarifying. I corrected this. ✓ Done --NorbertNagel 12:38, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
    Now it is tilted, verticals are not vertical, should I give it a try? Poco a poco 14:23, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Blurry, sorry --Poco a poco 20:24, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
  • If you compare it to 2013-12-17 21-56-36 salbert-clair-de-lune.jpg you have approved it's equally blurry, isn't it?--Urmas83 09:00, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  • This picture is blurry, overexposed and with perspective problems. Other pictures are not relevant for the promotion of this one. If you have a problem with the promotion of another picture, please, address your issues THERE not here. Poco a poco 12:23, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment There is no perspective problem. The ruins are actually leaning. I just expect you to be more objective as we all should be evaluated equally here. --Urmas83 13:48, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
    Dear Urmas83, you are the first one who accuses me of not being objective since I am here, and I have been here for years and reviewed thousands of pictures. Please, read this (especially applicable for newcomers). If you don't want to get pictures opposed, don't nominate any. Poco a poco 19:46, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment You can also check the histogram of this photo to see it's not overexposed, in fact the exposure is perfect.
    Excuse but, the white triangle in the top right does actually mean that it is overexposed! Furthermore, the new version looks much better, and therefore this issue would be acceptable to me (the sky in the first one was rather cyan than blue), but the lack of sharpness is nothing you can fix. I am not a friend of downsampling. Poco a poco 14:28, 20 December 2013 (UTC) PD: It is custom here to announce that a new version has been uploaded addressing certain issues, otherwise others could think that the initial comments refer to the current version.
    • Read the rules: " Burned highlights in large areas are a distracting element." There is also an example of normally exposed image. If you download the file and open it in Lightroom then you will see the same white triangle and significantly bigger area of blown out highlights. Small area of burned highlights are not only acceptable but also recommended to achieve detailed shadow areas, according to rules. I didn't make any other changes with the picture but re-size! I made the file smaller and it's better now? Yes it looks somewhat darker but I cant explain it, maybe I changed something by accident. But the histogram represents the second version. --Urmas83 15:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
      • Don't interprete the rules the way you like. The rules don't say that highlights in smaller areas are accepted, they are not, clipping should be avoided. Anyhow, as said, that is not a problem in the picture anymore. If you changed something "by accident" you can realize it in the History tab. Sorry, I didn't mean downsampling but resizing. Poco a poco 15:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
        • No, the rules don't say it but it can be seen in example image.
          • The weight of your arguments is getting very light...Poco a poco 18:08, 20 December 2013
            • Why do you refuse to comment on the example and answer with a quotation that is not even closely related to discussion. I really want you to explain me. And please don't take it as an attack, it is just a healthy discussion. I have read the guidelines carefully and also the part about exposure and I cannot agree with you. It states that only large areas with blown highlight are distracting. In addition, the example photo of proper exposure has burned highlights. But you keep saying its not accepted. I really don't understand. Please explain. --Urmas83 20:06, 20 December 2013 (UTC)(UTC)
  • I have already told you that I don't think that this picture has an overexposure problem anymore thank to your accidental edit. So, I don't know why you want to keep talking about that. If the triangle is white it means that there are areas (click on the triangle and they will be highlighted in red in the picture) with clipping, which means that the detail is gone due to excess of light. That should be always avoided, but having no clipping does not mean, though, that the exposure is good (this is what I tried to explain in the other nomination that you disagreed with). Furthermore, I don't like resizing or downsampling as a strategy to get an apparently sharp picture, if it wasn't in full resolution. Poco a poco 21:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support acceptable IMO --Christian Ferrer 22:20, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support Good quality, good exposure. How can someone say that it's overexposed ? --Shansov.net 03:18, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Mildly unsharp, and decidedly tilted anticlockwise. The ruins may be tilted, but it seems unlikely they'd all be tilting the same way. Mattbuck 22:28, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support Good quality, but tilting it clockwise will make it almost perfect. Shapness can be better. But that can't be fixed. --GMLSX 22:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
