SHORT DESCRIPTION
"Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:
  • Notable in its own right: Works by major artists, or works that are otherwise notable, such as the subjects of a controversy...
  • Of high historic merit: The historical method values very early illustrations of scenes and events over later ones. Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low. Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents – which may not be at all artistic – nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject."
I don't know much about art, so I can't say with certainty the artist is a "major artist" but Boris Kustodiev has a Wikipedia article, which is noteworthy and suggest he is an important Russian artist. Otherwise, I think this certainly meets the second criteria above. -- AHeneen (talk) 05:26, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

White stork (Ciconia ciconia) in Weltvogelpark Walsrode
A bit better but the main problem isn`t eliminated. I´ll not oppose, but this is for sure not a FP compared with the other excellent birds images we already have. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:15, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak  Support, aber er ist halt ein armes, trauriges Viecherl. Wie bestellt und nicht abgeholt... --Hubertl (talk) 22:51, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hubertl, es war noch recht früh und kalt (10:30 Uhr), vielleicht war der Herr (oder Frau) Storch noch müde :) Auf mich wirkten die Tiere im Weltvogelpark Walsrode nicht unglücklich - im Gegenteil. Die Pfleger haben die Tiere mit großem Respekt behandelt, was man z.B. gut bei der Flugshow schon sehen konnte. English: The birds seemed to me not unlucky - in contrary. The stork was photographed in the cold morning and was probably still tired. My impression from the very nice Weltvogelpark Walsrode was that the animals were treated very respectfully by the zookeeper as one could easily observe during the great flight show. --Tuxyso (talk) 23:42, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak  Support for overall quality, however I still find the dark background on the left disturbing. Takes some effort to tell what’s bird and what isn’t. --Kreuzschnabel 06:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Feel free to oppose my nominations if you think they are not featurable.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Info Todi is a town and comune (municipality) of the province of Perugia (region of Umbria) in central Italy. It is perched on a tall two-crested hill overlooking the east bank of the river Tiber, commanding distant views in every direction.

In the 1990s, Richard S. Levine, a professor of architecture at the University of Kentucky, chose Todi as the model sustainable city, because of its scale and its ability to reinvent itself over time. After that, the Italian press reported on Todi as the world's most livable city. All by Livioandronico2013 -- LivioAndronico talk 21:03, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment But it is possible that nobody votes??? It's possible that there are people here who put their photos but don't care to review each other ??? From now on, I will abstain from voting people who do not reciprocate by voting other people (of course I'm not saying they should vote favorably) that leave at least one comment or vote to photos of other users (and there are many). Thanks. --LivioAndronico talk 12:11, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For you Yann to be educated is a racket? Receive consideration from others and not caring to give it to others is a racket? How sad just sad. --LivioAndronico talk 13:28, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Ciao, as you are insisting to request a vote, I do not hesitate to oppose your nomination because I truly believe that this photo is good in composition and the object is interesting but unfortunately the light and the sky are pretty flat and boring (pardon me for beeing sincere). That#s for the photo. In regard to voting, I strongly believe that nominations for FP are not supposed to be as reciprocal as nominations for QI, where it is expressly stated in the guidelines that you should review one image for every nomination. I personally do not feel to be able to judge most of the time if a picture is adequate for FP and I refrain from voting even if I have abut 40 FP. I, personally, do not feel very comfortable to judge FP candidates and I am more than happy to leave the burden to others. Please consider also that I have plenty of gratitude for your support and appreciation of my work. Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thank you Wolfgang Moroder but i I don't require a vote for a vote, but at least a vote, comment or suggestion every 10, it isn't good to be ignored !!! At least for me.I prefer a negative vote that spurs me to improve myself that nothing and for that I thank you.And then if everyone did like you .... here we would do? --LivioAndronico talk 22:35, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Thank you for your comment, Anton. I would do the crop but I am not sure whether this is allowed after exactly this version of the picture was promoted as a VI. Wouldn't I have to upload it as a completely new picture? --Code (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, one vote is enough. ;-) --Hubertl (talk) 13:18, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I checked it with lightroom as well and in fact there are no burned out areas. I don't understand your critique anyway, LivioAndronico, since it was you who promoted exactly this version of the picture as a QI without any concern about burned out areas or a bad crop just one week ago. --Code (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Code, first thing you should write under the comment of the person that you want answer. Anyway a thing is QI and another is FP. It IQ is given the quality of the picture and I felt that burned parts were minimum standards for the quality of the same. In FP is different, the picture has to be perfect it whole and these areas or the dark part on the left does not make that, again in my opinion of course. Let's do this, cut the dark part on the left and i can review my vote.Grazie. --LivioAndronico talk 15:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fish in El Manglillo
It is the return after a fishing trip, is the daily life of these people. This photograph was taken on an island where I lived for 30 years. --The Photographer (talk) 18:52, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fine but that doesn’t make the picture special. --Kreuzschnabel 18:33, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment This image is not tourist for me, however it is special. For some it is touristy and bit special, so important in FP is average in both cases.

    • I don't really understand your comment about it looking like la nuit americaine in reverse. The colours look perfectly natural to me though (given the lighting conditions), and the only whites that are blown are directly next to bright halogen spotlights. Not really easy to compensate for that. What specifically do you think looks overprocessed? Diliff (talk) 18:22, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • La Nuit américaine probably refers to w:Day for Night (film). Regards, Yann (talk) 10:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thanks Yann. I guessed that much, but I don't understand how it relates to this image. La Nuit américaine is when daylight footage is artificially darkened to make it appear to be at night. So I would guess that Kleuske is suggesting that it looks like a night time image brightened to look like daylight. Well, that's just what long night time exposures often are. You don't really see star trails when you look up at the sky, but it's a legitimate type of photography nonetheless. Not every image should look exactly as it appears to the human eye, especially not night photography. Diliff (talk) 14:07, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • If the subject were star-trails, i would not have that much of a problem with weird lighting, and long exposures sure have their place in photography. This however, is not a very good example in my opinion. There's no apparant reason for or advantage to a very long exposure in this case. The same image taken by daylight would have made a better image. In this case it just looks weird. That's entirely your artistic freedom, but I do not consider it FA-material.

    • I think what you are interpreting as unnatural colours is the result of the white balance being set for the incandescent lighting (so that the building itself is creamy white). This has the effect of making the garden and flowers tint quite cool. Other than that, I really don't understand the problem. Perhaps someone can explain in more detail.

Marina City is a mixed-use residential/commercial building complex located in the center of Chicago, Illinois. It sits on the north bank of the Chicago River directly across from the Loop district. The complex, that was designed in 1959 and completed in 1964, consists of two corncob-shaped 179 m, 65-story towers.
  • I would also consider a Nikon D810 if I lost my camera and all my lenses... Canon's camera tech has fallen some way behind Nikon, but I'm hoping their next camera (there are rumours of a Canon 3D with a 30+ megapixel camera and hopefully much better sensor technology in 2015) will match or beat Nikon's. In any case, with stitching and HDR, my images are still sharper, higher resolution and have more dynamic range than any D810 image. ;-) But it takes quite a lot more work to reach that point, that's for sure.

    No, it hasn't been. Please, see my comment above to Daniel, Poco2 20:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment All well and good. Do you share these views, especially in the absence of converging lines of a 179 m high tower? Visually, the towers even act as if they widen upward (see optical illusions). --Steindy (talk) 19:34, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • I've had this exact debate with someone on the English wikipedia and I've come to the conclusion that some people perceive vertical perspective in a photo differently to others. Not everyone sees parallel lines as widening. I don't see them widening here anyway. I also disagree that the human eye sees converging lines the way a camera does. Our eyes have a wide field of view (120 degrees vertically and almost 180 degrees horizontally) but our fovea only allows us to see any detail in a very narrow field of view (2 degrees). We scan our eyes around a scene to see the details and each time our eye settles on a vertical line, it becomes vertical because it is centred in our vision. Another vertical line might in theory appear to be leaning inwards in the corner of your eye but I challenge you to perceive it. I've tried many times and never have my eyes perceived an inward leaning vertical line in the periphery of my vision. And of course when my eye moves to look at that vertical line, it becomes straight because it becomes centred, as I mentioned before. In any case, all this is academic. Although there are some potential drawbacks to vertical perspective correction, it's an established practice in architectural photography for a reason.

  •  Oppose Is nobody else bothered by the fact that the sky is not consistent? It looks a lot like a stitching fault, although from what I have read above, it is not stitched? I think it's most likely a strange effect of the clouds, but has been exaggerated by the processing. Also, the building behind and to the left transitions from a deep aquamarine to a light blue-green. I'm not insisting that it must be a processing problem (there could be lighting conditions that create this effect?) and I can see that it's the same effect in all versions of the image, but it does look very strange to me. The sky's inconsistency and the processing makes it look a bit unrealistic looking to me. Diliff (talk) 10:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    David: there is no stitching and no editing in this picture apart from brightening the darker areas. Will look anyhow with more detail into it tomorrow, right know I cannot access the raw file. Poco2 22:07, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps it's just the result of strange clouds and weather then. :-) I believe you, of course, but it puzzles me. As I said, the building on the left looks very very strange, with completely different colour and brightness at the top and bottom. Diliff (talk) 22:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    David: I looked into it in detail and can confirm that there is nothing strange. The area in the middle of the sky are clouds and the colors in the left building in the background are due to the lighting conditions. I can send you the RAW file if you want to see it on your own and even give it a try. I would be curious about the result. Poco2 20:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    No, it's ok. If it is in the RAW file then it's just the way the scene was. I know the lighter part of the sky in the middle is clouds, but the strange part for me is the way it becomes a deep blue very quickly, then gets lighter again on the right side of the sky. There doesn't seem to be any clouds there, so I don't know why it lightens. And there is still the unexplained difference in colour and brightness in the buildings. I don't think there is much I could do to the RAW file anyway. It's not a blending problem, and trying to remove lighting transitions is not easy. Diliff (talk) 11:04, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This problem remember me this nomination Each person has their own perception of reality, so no one can be wrong. --The Photographer (talk) 11:07, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That is true. Nobody else was there when this photo was taken, so we cannot say that we know for sure what it should look like. But I have worked on enough photos to know when something looks strange because of post-processing, rather than because reality itself was strange. I do believe that Poco hasn't screwed up or deliberately messed with the photo to enhance it beyond reality, but I think he has perhaps accidentally pushed it too far. I'm sure there were some strange lighting conditions at the time he took the photo which would explain the reflections in the windows of the building behind and the darker part of the sky, but I think the post-processing has exaggerated them and made them look a bit too abnormal. Just my opinion though. My perception of reality is unique. ;-) Also, I agree with you that the the other nomination you mentioned looks a bit unrealistic. But then again, one of my recent nominations seemed to get the same response, and I didn't think it looked particularly unrealistic (night photos are much harder to say though, because our eyes never see in darkness the way a camera does).

Mono Lake Tufa. Shot taken in August 2012. I decided to nominate this picture because I think it is beautiful regarding the fact that basically only three colors are used (blue, grey, white). The water is very still and like that the whole atmosphere of the picture is very quiet and relaxing.

    • Das ist kein Farb-, sondern ein Monitor-Farbraumproblem, wodurch der Verlauf zwingend in Blöcke getrennt werden muss, da große Bereiche durch aktuelle Monitore (noch) nicht darstellbar sind. Eine mögliche Erweiterung von RGB um Gelb und Cyan ist der nächste Schritt. Siehe hier. Rein rechnerisch ist der Hintergrund perfekt. Obwohl mit der geringsten JPG-Kompression abgespeichert wurde, sieht man bei ca 10-facher Vergrösserung sogar die JPG-Artefakte, die offenbar unvermeidlich sind, wenn auch gering. Bilder dieser Größe haben ich früher bis aufs Format A0 ohne erkennbaren Qualitätsverlust in der Druckerei weiterverarbeitet, auch wenn der Belichter damals bei diesen Größenordnungen (vor 15 Jahren) bereits gestöhnt hat und wir froh waren, wenn die Rechner nicht abgestürzt sind, auch wenn wir CMYK bereits jeweils getrennt belichtet haben. Wenn ich für die 1:1-Darstellung 240 px/Zoll zugrunde lege, übertragen in den Druckbereich, da reichen 100 Linien/cm für absolut höchste, überhaupt denkbare Kunstdruckqualität.

      • Danke für die Erklärung (daß das soviel ausmacht, hätte ich nicht gedacht), aber das beseitigt das Problem nicht, das ich mit dem Bild habe. Anders ausgedrückt: Ein ausgezeichnetes Bild muß die technischen Grenzen berücksichtigen. Daher wäre ein anderer, technisch weniger anspruchsvoller Hintergrund für mich besser. --Kreuzschnabel 18:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Dir ist aber schon klar, dass nicht Deine technischen Grenzen gemeint sein können, es können nur unsere aktuellen technischen Grenzen gemeint sein - die in 10 Jahren völlig anders angesiedelt sind, so auch in der Interpretation von Bilddaten für den Bildschirm. Wir haben heute 4K-Monitore, denken an 8K-Monitore, erweitern ständig die Farbräume auf den Bildschirmen durch immer mehr unterschiedliche Licht- und Farbinformationen pro Lichtpunkt, wobei jeder Pixel, und davon jede einzelne LED dahinter (mehrere/Pixel) einzeln angesteuert werden kann und wird. Dahinter ein wenig kraftwerkschonendes Ding namens Hochleistungsgrafikkarte. Ich könnte ein 32bit-Tiff-Image davon hochladen, das würde zwar noch nicht die Hochladegrenze von Commons sprengen (das PSD hat, auf eine Ebene reduziert, über 100MB), aber deine technische Grenze wäre damit nicht behoben. Du siehst trotzdem dasselbe, weil dein (wie auch mein) Bildschirm es nicht darstellen kann. Es simuliert nur Übergänge in einem bestimmten Bereich. Ich habs gerade ausprobiert, es simuliert nicht einmal, die Übergänge sind trotzdem sichtbar. Im 32bit-Bereich! Dieselbe Bildgröße hat 248MB unkomprimiert. Für TIFF gibts ja keine lossless Kompression, afaik. Ich muss jetzt noch etwas technisches einbringen: die Umwandlung von Grafiken in Raster (für den Druck) läuft mit einer Genauigkeit von - zu meiner Zeit - 2.400 dots/inch, bei Diabelichtung bis hoch zu 6.000 dots/inch. Also - rein technisch - noch eine Ebene höher, welche für uns kaum wahrnehmbar ist (für mich schon, ich habe bis heute das Handwerkszeug eines Druckers/Setzers/Lithografen/Reprotechnikers/Grafikers/ immer dabei: den Fadenzähler).--Hubertl (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose - Your file description says this is from c. 1970. Such a figurine would be copyright in Indonesia for the life of the author and 50 years, per Template:PD-IDOld-Art29. Thus, this is a copyvio. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The question is: are you establishing a new copyright by copying an old colonial masterpeace? If yes, then you can delete almost any picture in commons from traditional masks, most of them are younger than 50years plus. Is this objekt a individuell piece of art, attributed to a specific, named person, or a result of a mass handicraft workpiece made in an almost industrial manner. It is it is probably fact, that the original design is far, far older, the idea is rather colonial. If it is a singular piece of art you are right but in the other case - there isn´t any personal signature for example - it doesn´nt has any copyright from the very beginning. But you are the lawyer, not me, Crisco. --Hubertl (talk) 17:22, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Per 99of9. The quality of the actual object is just fine, however a posterized digitally rendered background just doesn't cut it for FP. There's a variety of approaches to circumvent this problem. Some people tend to add noise to digital gradients, some use mono-coloured digital backgrounds and others mask the object and replace the background with pictures of actual printed gradients. Assuming that you masked the object in Photoshop anyway, this should be an easy fix. I'd gladly support a picture with a mono-coloured background or an improved gradient.

  •  Comment I did notice the synthetic mat which had appeared at bit suspicious at first. But still, I'd say the sky is somewhat too blue and dark. I suppose you've applied a polarizer here. So maybe it could help to desaturate the sky - this might also make the whole image a bit brighter. It might be worth a shot. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:43, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

St Christopher's Chapel
  •  Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff. This is a little known but fantastically decorated chapel inside a Great Ormond St Hospital, a children's hospital in London. I had not even heard of the chapel until a few days ago, so when I read about it, I decided to go and visit. As it is a children's hospital chapel, there are lots of touching details, such as the large collection of teddy bears (called the Teddy Bear choir!) which have been placed in the chapel by family members, and the 'prayer tree' with messages of hope and support for sick children. It is a very small chapel - perhaps smaller than it looks in the photo due to the wide angle of view. A small amount of vertical compression has been applied to the image to stop the dome from elongating too much. This has had the effect of squashing the top so that it is not quite circular, but I felt that it was the best compromise between controlling distortion and geometrical accuracy. Also, there seems to be a bit of a rainbow effect caused by the downsampling in the thumbnail, please view at full size and it should disappear. -- Diliff (talk) 20:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment. Kadellar, you added a note to the image page asking if the crop could be looser. Unfortunately it can't, that is the limit of what I captured. Already the angle of view from the horizon to the top of the frame is about 65 degrees which is quite extreme even for a panoramic stitch. That's the equivalent of 130 degrees vertical field of view which in 35mm rectilinear lens terms is about 8mm focal length! The widest full frame lens in existence (that I'm aware of anyway) is 12mm which has a 112 degree FOV. And of course that would have much worse image quality.... Anyway, just putting in perspective why I wasn't able to get any wider vertical field of view here. It is quite extreme. Diliff (talk) 19:37, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the explanation. It's just that I find the edge of the circle too close to that of the image. The chapel must be indeed small... we haven't been there and it seems possible to have a wider crop, but as you say, it's almost above you. I'm still not really satisfied with the upper crop but I
     Support because it's a quite unique place and because technically it is very good. --Kadellar (talk) 19:45, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's sometimes a challenge to visualise the framing when shooting an ultrawide panoramic. You have to guess where the borders of the image will be, because the image gets warped when converted to rectilinear projection. And even if you do know where the border will be, that doesn't mean you can do much about it if the angle of view is too large. What would you prefer, the existing tight crop at the top, or cropping further the central part of dome with the pelican? Really, they are my only choices in this scene.

View of the Carina Nebula taken from the Astronomy Observatory of Los Molinos (OALM) (es) located in Montevideo, Uruguay. Please, note that on the contrary to most of our FPs listed here, this is not the work of the NASA or ESO, but of an Uruguayan Commonist thank to a project of Wikimedia Uruguay with several institutes in that country, who took the picture and processed it by himself. The result has nothing to envy to the works of space agencies in my opinion, that's what amazed me and motivates this FPC. The picture is based on 9 frames of 2 minutes exposure each with a Nikon Df and a catadioptric Nikkor 500mm f/8 lense, apart from the dark, bias and flat frames for the post-processing. For the post-processing a dedicated software for this kind of photography (PixInsight) was used that merges the images, analyses the brightness scale, reduces the noise and enables the management of saturation and dynamic range.

 Comment I'm not showing the hotel, but the island. I've been there also in 2009, before opening the hotel, and this place looks exactly the same (from the outside of course). Opening the hotel didn't change anything with exterior of this island. The other thing is that FoP (or no-FoP) has nothnig with Featured pictures nominiations. If you think, that showing this island/hotel is breaking the copyright law, you should start deletion procedure to the all images in this category (including your images from this year). --Halavar (talk) 17:01, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see the halo on the full-size image if I step back, or if I reduce it in software. So this is not a mediawiki thumbnail issue. -- Colin (talk) 13:00, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see it also at my 4K monitor. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:32, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see it as well, and yes it gets more pronounced if you step back or zoom out. I've downloaded the small thumbnail on the right as well as the original, loaded both in Gimp and zoomed out the original to match the thumbnail's size. There's quite a difference in sharpening which also affects the halo to some degree. Personally I think that the amount of halo visible in the original size is OK. I can understand other people disagreeing on that, but however you decide, please don't make your decision solely based on Mediawiki's current thumbnail settings. --El Grafo (talk) 13:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm only talking about the light halo around the head btw, not about the dark vignetting effect that makes the scarf blend into the shirt at the bottom etc. That's an appropriate thing to so in order to focus on the face, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 14:01, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
All quality photo websites, including MediaWiki apply a small degree of sharpening when they downsize an image, to offset the softening effect of the algorithms and to restore pixel-level contrast which can be averaged away. If you simply downsize without sharpening, an image can look soft. See this. -- Colin (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but very recently the way this is being done on Commons has changed. Previously, each thumbnail size was created from the original with an appropriate, small amount of sharpening. Now they use a "bucket chain", where only the largest thumbnail is created from the original. From that, the next smaller size is created, and from that the next smaller size and so on. Sharpening is done in every step so that the smaller sizes receive several rounds of sharpening. See this example ("old" mediawiki default on the left, new "bucketed" approach on the right). See also phab:T76983 or Commons:Forum#Neue_Version_der_Vorschau? (in german), where people complain about that.
All I'm saying is: Don't trust our thumbnails at the moment, there have been some drastic changes lately. --El Grafo (talk) 15:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ponte Sisto at night in Rome, Italy
  •  Info created by XRay - uploaded by XRay - nominated by XRay -- XRay talk 17:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- XRay talk 17:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Nice picture. I have some questions/comments:
    1. When I just look at it, and especially when my eyes follow the top of the bridge the photo looks like it could need a clockwise rotation. When I further look at the mirror lines where the three pillars meet the water I note they are also quite far from being on a horizontal line, again indicating it could need a clock-wise tilt. But I am not sure though as it depends on the exact position of the vantage point. I assume the photo was taken from Ponte Guiseppe Mazzani? It appears you did not take the shot from the middle of that bridge, which would be the obvious choise (not knowing the place myself). Was there a good reason for picking the exact vantage point? Please consider if the proportions are as they should be. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    2. I always find it hard to get the right white balance in a shot like this. In your photo, I find there is a quite noticeable yellow cast and even the (I suppose green?) foliage looks rather yellow. Are you sure the WB is approximately correct? -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    3. IMO the composition could be improved by cropping both at the top and bottom, giving a larger aspect ratio, emphasizing that the main subject is significantly longer, than it is high. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    4. You have an 18 Mpixel sensor, but the nomination 'only' has half that resolution (in pixels). I suppose it is downsampled to about half the original pixels? The noise level is extremely low. I would recommend not downsampling to unravel more details - or do it less aggressively. I do not think the noise level would become unacceptable from doing that. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Fixed First of all: Thank you for your review and your comments. They are very helpful. I've made a perspective correction with the lights and the water reflections. So it should be OK now. You're right, the photo was taken from Ponte Mazzani. On the left there were disturbing elements. So the photo is taken from the left of Ponte Mazzani. You're right, the white balance got changed. There is too much blue in this image. In the original shot there is really too much yellow. The crop is changed at the top and the bottom. And finally the noise level is changed now and the file size is increased. Hopefully everything is fine now.--XRay talk 16:22, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support A significant improvement . All good for me. --Slaunger (talk) 19:49, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just a quick response to your issue of white balance in images like this. The problem is that it's fundamentally impossible to fix. The yellow lighting used is sodium vapour, and it produces light of a very limited wavelength. This means that if there are no other light sources with a wider spectrum, no matter what white balance you try to use, the light will be monochromatic. All you will do is change the colour of the monochromatic light. ;-) See here. Sodium lighting scores lower than any other form of lighting. They are cheap and nasty, but because they are quite energy efficient, they are typically used in street lighting. Good for municipal power bills, bad for photography. Diliff (talk) 23:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. As per my comments on the lighting above, I find it difficult to support. Yes, it's a photo of the bridge at night, but if it were taken in the blue hour, we'd at least have a counteracting source of lighting that would avoid rendering it rather monochromatic. Diliff (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

[edit]

  • An Alternative in black and white. --XRay talk 11:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. To be clear, I was opposing the previous image above because it was monochromatic, not because it was yellow. The same problem applies to this image in B&W IMO. And yes, this is a reflection of my views as discussed in length on the FPC talk page. As a general rule, I don't believe that landscapes and buildings in B&W are most useful to Wikipedia. There are exceptions, but this is unfortunately not one of them. Diliff (talk) 12:14, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

rotated a bit, and verticals corrected

 Info I just wanted to get a try, and I think the result deserves your wise opinions, dear colleagues. Yes, there is a loss of informations, but actually not so important that we were afraid of. Not so bad and better quality-wise IMO, and there is no treason of the will of the photographer, I hope. It could be perceived as an improvement. Anyway, this is an "alternative" in your choice. The simplicity of Ben Gourion's end of life is still well shown here. Thanks for attention. As for me, I support both.--Jebulon (talk) 14:03, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bixby Creek Bridge
Hi Frank, I understand your point but your suggested view has the big disadvantage that the power supply lines are disturbing the scenery in a significant way. And I think the coast line in Diliffs image is a good framing for this bridge. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Frank, I did actually explore both sides of the bridge but didn't find a view that I liked. I agree that the other side gives a better impression of the height of the bridge, but I think it's an inferior view of the coastline because it's mostly obscured behind the bridge and the hill on the left. I don't think either view is necessarily 'the best'. They are show different things more clearly. I don't consider the haze a particularly unfavourable condition. It's subtle and doesn't really affect anything but the clarity of the horizon. It was pretty characteristic of my entire 2 day drive along the coast, lots of nice deep blue skies but a persistent haze along the horizon. Diliff (talk) 11:26, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Phalanta alcippe
  • Yes; a centered composition is not so good. But the subject was very fast moving and disappeared soon. I got only fiver "keepers", and we can see it is in different location in all of them. My camera has some limitations; I've to move the spot focus point using a joystick, which takes time. The fixed LCD is also not very helpful as I've to kiss the mud to get a view. :) Thanks all for the quick appreciation. Jee 02:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ha ha; I like your moths. BTW, I see some point in your suggestion and made a crop. There is plenty of room in original even if I'm in the closest focusing distance because the subject is very small.

    • The way I see it, Poco has traded tilted vertical lines in order to reduce perspective distortion. If Poco had used an architectural perspective, the distortion would have been greater. I still prefer to perserve straight vertical lines, but in wide views such as this, it is unavoidable to get some kind of distortion and the distortion is perhaps no worse than mine. I guess the difference between this image and my stitched images is that I can retain more sharpness and resolution so the distortion does not affect the quality as much. With a single frame, it is not so easy. Diliff (talk) 11:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The "standard" rectilinear view is an FP Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Iglesia de San Pedro, Teruel, España, 2014-01-10, DD 10.JPG. This one is closer and sharper with more detail and better handling of the lighting. The ultra-wide rectilinear has its own distortions. And File:Iglesia de San Pedro, Teruel, España, 2014-01-10, DD 16-17 HDR.JPG is seriously bendy! The converging verticals draw the eye to the apex and make one feel small, looking up. This is a valid perspective choice, rather than a technical error. -- Colin (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Both this and the second image you cited are standard rectilinear though. As far as I can see, the only difference is the position and tilt of the camera. The angle of view seems the same although unlike the other image, the shutter speed, aperture and focal length have been removed from the EXIF data of the file so I can't be sure. Diliff (talk) 11:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have added more information, also the camera settings (ISO 100, 17 mm f/11 2,5s and 8s). One thing, though, I haven't removed anything. As I've explained here and there I have a problem with the EXIF info update module of my enfusion SW that I used for (pseudo-) HDRs. I don't aim to hide any information, the other way around. Poco2 12:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Regarding the observations of Diliff and Colin I pretty much agree with them. In this picture I got "in the middle of the thing" and the result of a 17mm lens is what you see. I could make a version where verticals are vertical but, apart from the fact that I'd lose half of the picture, the result wouldn't be what I was looking for: "transporting" the viewer into the picture. One of the constraints of the picture when I took it was to be careful with the crop at the top (specially the middle top). David, I think that you'd have a worse time even in Spain to take pictures of churches with a tripod 15 minutes long than in France. I negotiated it (hard) after explaining what the picture was for and got inside 5 minutes before everybody else did in the afternoon allowance. Sometimes I do really miss a kind of acreditation for Wikimedia, that would ease my life. Poco2 12:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I didn't mean that you were deliberately hiding the EXIF data, just that it is missing. It's frustrating that they are so restrictive about photography. There are many locations in England that I would love to be able to photograph but getting permission is hard. I've written to many organisations asking for permission but of course I'm not officially representing Wikimedia, so I'm not usually given any special allowances. Really, the only notable example so far who has given me permission is St Paul's Cathedral. That was a big success though, because photography is usually completely forbidden and there are not many high quality photos of the interior anywhere on the internet. I was given a whole hour but it wasn't really enough. I wish I had another chance because now with my 50mm lens and a bit more experience shooting church interiors, I would have been able to take better photos, but I'm happy with what I managed to take under some time pressure. I have managed to get permission to photograph the interiors of the Bodleian Library in Oxford (again, photography is usually strictly forbidden) and I will be visiting in early January in the morning before it opens to the University. Lighting and time will be very limited, so I'm not sure what results I'll get, but we will see. I agree though, it would be great to get accreditation or for Wikimedia to be able to negotiate on our behalf somehow. Diliff (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Diliff by "standard" I meant "looking straight ahead", as well as the choice of projection. I think here "pointing the camera up" is a good creative choice here. It displays aspects of the view one sees if one were there, looking up, but also (since it is a flat fixed 2D view) has attributes one wouldn't see. Not everything unnatural that is due to a lens is a "fault". For example, with shooting a photo with shallow depth of field -- something the eye never sees. So is background blur a distortion just because it isn't how we perceive the world in person? And bokeh highlights are merely a lens artifact. The viewer isn't mislead here. Architectural perspective is not the only one. My 2p. -- Colin (talk) 13:14, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Ah ok, I agree, the tilt is good for the composition in this case (although the altar isn't exactly centred so the symmetry is an issue). Just as we don't see a shallow depth of field with our own eyes, we also don't see vertical lines leaning inward as a camera does so I agree there also. We would if our retina extended across our whole field of view, but it doesn't, so we move our eyes to re-centre the view and the vertical line straightens when it is centred. However, I think that is a good argument for why we should (if we can) try to preserve the vertical lines - it better matches what our eyes see. I admit that it isn't possible to do so in this image without introducing fairly significant distortion elsewhere. So yes, in short, I agree that it isn't a rule for all cases, just a guideline that works in most non-extreme cases. Diliff (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support, although as mentioned above, it isn't entirely symmetrical. Could benefit from a slight crop to the right hand side. Diliff (talk) 13:55, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Diliff: True, I didn't notice that asymmetry. I applied a slight crop on the right. Poco2 14:12, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Väikjärv in South-Estonia
@Colin: In fact, we have many pictures of Estonia. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 13:19, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin: Imo its much more when just-another-well-executeded-but-not-very-exciting-mirror-lakes and forest-images. There are different aspects here; the clouds forms a beautiful arch (both in the sky, and in the water) and serve as framing elements for the forest. The symmetry is interesting as well, with two equally sized groves of trees. I think the light/shadow play is great (one grove in shadow, one in sunlight) and make the images more interesting.--ArildV (talk) 10:45, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
ArildV, thanks for explaining your composition thoughts. -- Colin (talk) 10:57, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
