Rüppel's warbler (male) in breeding season
✓ Done slightly cropped on the right side → @King of Hearts:
  •  Comment This photo seems a bit sharper than the other one when viewed at similar resolutions of the birds, but the other one has a nicer composition. This one needs some more space above the bird. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:06, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 QuestionCropping has been already done. This is my FP nomination after a couple of years. Maybe I missed the FP related evaluation rule: Is it usual to compare an FP candidate to another one created by the other users whether there is FP or not? If so I could delist my nonimation. → @Basotxerri: @Charlesjsharp:
 Comment We should promote the best, so if there is a better very similar image, it will be difficult to get positive votes for the second best. So annoying when there are so many different species to nab the same one as someone elseǃ Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:43, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Female Wandering crab spider (Philodromus aureolus) with her egg sac, Hartelholz forest, Munich, Germany.
  • Llez: I've removed those spots and what you called banding, among other improvements. It's brighter now too. Regarding the "severe unsharpness" I don't think that's a fair feedback. It isn't perfect, spiders are tricky subjects for focus stacking, but there is detail and I see no severe problem here, to be honest. Poco a poco (talk) 07:46, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I had not realized, it is a miracle that this photo came out with so much exposure time --Wilfredor (talk) 12:18, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Have you actually realised that this image is a FS image (as stated in the title and in the description page)? It is the merge of 36 images. Regarding sharpness, of course I can sharpen it a bit more but, hey! I offer here over 30 megapixel of image, next time will be only 20 Mpx and no sharpness issue... --Poco a poco (talk) 12:35, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Diego, I have to guess the original images were not sharp enough. I'm judging sharpness at monitor resolution 1920 x 1080. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record, I applied a bit of sharpening Charlesjsharp Poco a poco (talk) 22:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's better with the sharpening for what it's worth. But this is an FP either way to me. It may lack the pinpoint sharpness of some other focus-stacks (i.e. Ermell's) but it's still very good quality and really impressive for such a small creature.

Waterfalls of Göta älv, west Sweden.
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Insufficient resolution. Images must be at least 2 MP, and preferably even more.

Detail of a Silver-spotted skipper (Hesperia comma), Hartelholz, Munich, Germany
  • Understood, but I think that argument deserved to be slammed. It might be different if Ivar were a new user who thought perfect sharpness at full size was a requirement for FP, but he isn't. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:12, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • While I support Ikan's right to complain about a review on the grounds that it might "punish" anyone for uploading "a full-size photo", can we please avoid making personal attacks, Poco. And, "Make it better" is never ever an acceptable remark to make, because reviewers are not required to even be photographers, never mind expert macro photographers. Further, asking that comparable FPs be "preferentially from a Commoner" is also unacceptable. Commons FP is to review our finest images, no matter what their origin. -- Colin (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • A reviewer who knows, or better, has experience about a topic will always be able to make a more solid review. I don't review restorations because I didn't ever make one and so far I didn't review underwater photography because I had until last year no experience. I could review those images but then I only review the result without knowing the process to get there and how tricky or not it could have been for the restorator. I do indeed also review the difficulty to take a shot, but I'm fine if others just judge the result.
  • FPs don't have to be the work of a Commoner, that's clear, but wouldn't it be meaningful to encourage this kind of photography in the project to get more valuable stuff instead of being so harsh with those who give their best here? You show up again and manage that I give up to work further on macro photography (or at least to upload anything out of that to Commons) Poco a poco (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Slamming an argument and saying "Are you serious?" are not personal attacks where I come from, but apparently at least 1 person disagrees (not you). Your argument has a lot more substance behind it, though in comparing the compound eyes, I still disagree (for now) that this isn't one of the best. I went to your link, and I think it's clear that there aren't 4,495 similar, better photos there. Just look at the first page, and you can see that a lot of the photos there aren't closeups or aren't closeups showing the eyes. I opened one that is. Do you think that compound eye is superior to this one? There might be lots of similar photos in that category that are superior to this one; I grant you that. But we'd have to look through the category manually and find them - a worthy task, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ikan Kekek, just to be clear, my comment was indented to reply to Poco, and my remark about making a personal attack was directed at Poco, which I thought was clear with the "can we please avoid making personal attacks, Poco", but evidently not. Sorry that didn't come across. You commented on the vote, Poco commented on the voter, and my sentence was contrasting your approach (which I support) vs Poco's.
Wrt the set, there are an abundance of finer images, for example this scary green bee and plenty other bee-head close-ups. I reckon this entire tiny parasitic wasp is smaller than this butterfly's head, so it isn't really about whether we are comparing the compound eye of a bee or wasp with the compound eye of a butterfly, but that this is certainly includes photography on the same scale and subject matter. They even use the same lens, though they ignore the extender, which is fit only for a museum. It isn't surprising that the USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Laboratory are in a different class: their equipment may be no better, but they've taken thousands of these photos. -- Colin (talk) 22:13, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that bee photo is great! It was clear from a careful reading that your remark wasn't intended for me, and I guess my parenthetical "not you" wasn't clear enough. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Gnosis (talk) 03:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Impressive. --Aristeas (talk) 10:02, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Wrt the "nothing is really sharp here" vote.... it is a totally accurate comment at 100% magnification. Whether that's a good reason to oppose is another matter (I don't think so). This already isn't a "full-size photo", which would be 50.6MP rather than 20MP -- this image is downsized about 60% already. If I look at a 2500px wide further downsized version (about 4.2MP) I'm not convinced this 20MP version has any extra detail, just noise. The camera sensor might be 50MP but the optics here are only rendering about 4MP of detail. Downsizing is harmful if there is actually a loss of information (real detail), which I don't really think is the case here.
So this "sharp 4MP image" might have been detailed enough to impress at FP 10 years ago, this is quite some way from being "among our finest" macro photos of insects in 2020. Obviously there's Ermell's excellent work recently. But for a closer comparison, see this POTY finalist from six years ago, for an example of a sharp 13MP compound-eye photograph, and there are 4,495 similar photos that pretty much all exceed this one in quality. -- Colin (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I went through that category and see good stuff but most of them are smaller and/or oversharpened. I didn't know though that category yet and is great to have it because you'll see no further macro shots of myself on the project anymore.
And I find it disrespectful and unfair to compare the images of laboratories with expensive equipment (do you know what is the price of those stepper motors??), unlimited time, specimens, space and so on with the shots I can take in my apartment and on my own. So, enjoy thos USGS images. Poco a poco (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Info on macro lens magnification terminology and technical issues

When focused at the closest distance the lens can focus, a 1:1 macro lens reproduces an image of the plane-of-focus at exactly life-size on the sensor of the camera (here 36×24 mm full frame). This isn't life-size on your computer screen, however, which is likely to be much larger than 36mm wide (!) and have a much lower resolution than 8688 × 5792. You might have a 6" mobile phone or a 32" desktop, and the pixel size of the screen will affect the size of the image at 100% view. The Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1–5x Macro lens used here is unusual in that the magnification factor can be altered from 1x to 5x. Increasing the magnification causes a proportional reduction in both the effective aperture size (darker) and depth of field (extremely narrow). At 5x it is (5+1=6) times smaller effective aperture (f/5 becomes f/30). Using a 2x extender for 10x makes those problems a whole lot worse (f/55). The low light then requires a higher ISO (1250) and the tiny aperture causes diffraction softening, both of which rob an image of pixel-level detail.

This is a lens from 1999, and while it was a technical marvel in its day, and still has its fans, it isn't going to resolve 100% sharp on a modern camera (24MP APS-C and 50MP FF have similar sensor pixel sizes). The 1.4 and 2x extenders are mostly a relic from the days of slide photography where you couldn't enlarge your slide and had to get the magnification done at capture time rather than later. Our modern cameras outresolve even many modern lenses, never mind 20-year-old ones, and once it is out-resolved then sticking an extender on just makes a bigger blurrier noiser image. See File:How to take Hi-Resolution Macro Studio Photographs of Insects and Plants - By Sam Droege at USGS BIML.webm and File:How to Take Macro Photographs of Insects USGS BIML Lab2.pdf for how the USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Laboratory took their photos. They used the same lens, without extension tube, and a 20MP camera and only 125 to 250 ISO. -- Colin (talk) 14:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know who is the addresee of this comment. Apart from the video and the PDF there is nothing new to me here. And regarding the equipment, if you don't mind I'll decide con my own what equipment I use for which shot. I often play around with different variables and when I liked the result I uploaded it to Commons. And please, noun a similar lens of this century that I should use instead of the MP-E 65mm, because I don't know anyone of this type which is superior, even 20 years later. Poco a poco (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Info on the compound eye

The compound eyes of an insect are composed of ommatidia, which are usually hexagonal in shape. You can see the hexagons in this macro shot. So why is the eye of this butterfly composed of many perfect circles? I think it is because it has been lit by a ring flash, which tends to produce a circle in any mirror-reflective surface (see human eye and patterned ring). The hundreds of circles here are not the shape of the eye facets, but hundreds of reflections of the ring flash. The actual shape of the eye facets is not visible. The flash rings are also visible in the eyes of this spider. Apart from the overall softness of the image, one reason the hexagonal eye facets don't stand out also caused by the flash. Fashion photographers use a (larger) ring flash to shoot some of their work because the direct light can be very flattering to their model. Unlike side (or top) lighting, front lighting like this will tend to hide surface details (a model's pores, spots or hairs). It also helps reduce the 3D of the face, making noses and chins less prominent. Cheekbones can be emphasized by makeup and some Photoshopping. But this is all exactly what we don't want for macro insect photography. We want side lighting to bring out all the horrid texture (eye facets, spiracles, hairs) and to give the subject a real 3D feel. If you look at the insects at USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Laboratory, you can see many have been photographed with a twin flash, lit from the sides or above. The abdomen of this bee and the iridescent eyes of a robber fly are all brought about by side-lighting. A ring flash is great for photographing banknotes, but not insects. -- Colin (talk) 08:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I was swaying in favour, but I have to agree with Colin. The FP he references is much sharper. Perhaps Poco a poco can challenge Colin's techncail arguments? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:01, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Regretful Oppose Per others. --StellarHalo (talk) 04:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Per my answer above. I already put my macro lens back in the bottom of a cupboard and already regret having uploaded anything. I may give it a try again in 8 years. Poco a poco (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Poco a poco, don't sulk. You've uploaded lots of educationally useful and interesting macro photos last month. I think you made some poor choices about equipment (the 2x extender and the ring flash), but no harm in experimenting and learning from mistakes. That lens is a difficult beast and I've never read anything to suggest that getting good results from it is going to be very hard work and always with a high failure:success ratio. The USGS bee folk show it is capable of producing good results. This kind of photography is challenging, and I'd expect a learning curve of months to a year, not four weeks. -- Colin (talk) 09:23, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist We already have two much better FPs of fish markets. This image wouldn't even qualify as a QI let alone FP. I am honestly surprises it survives as FP for more than a decade. -- StellarHalo (talk) 20:17, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I have recently been going through the Featured Pictures galleries and there are actually very few images I want to delist.

However, this one in particular just stuck out to be as especially bad and lacking the quality that we would normally find in FP.

Unfortuantely, at 9 MP this level of unsharpness is unforgivable IMO. Compare, for example, to File:Lago del Rey, Alemania, 2019-05-17, DD 25.jpg, which is worse at full res (46 MP), but much better at 4000px (10 MP). -- King of ♥ 20:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Golden monkey (Cercopithecus kandti) eating bamboo, Rwanda
  •  Info Ivar: There is nothing wrong with the voting period. Charles created this page at 08:27, 23 June 2020‎. Take a look in the page history. However, he didn't add it to this list until now, so the very short voting period is a result of that. Not sure why it was done in this manner. We could "reset" the nom by tweaking it using the {{Bots}} template from when Charles actually added it to the list and made it public. I think that would be better than going through all the mess of withdrawing and making a second nomination. What say you? --Cart (talk) 10:37, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Why is there sharp texture on the monkey's right hand? Shouldn't it be out-of-focus and blurred? Is this some AI Sharpening artifact? Can it be tweaked? The broken near end of the bamboo looks oddly crisp, like someone has cut it out of the image with scissors. Compare to the original upload which is soft. I can see how better software can improve the lighting of the first version, but bringing this degree of sharpness that wasn't there makes me a bit uncomfortable. Along the monkey's right cheek, you can see bits where the out-of-focus background has got weirdly sharpened. The overall improvement is very impressive and these glitches are only visible at 100%, but I am a bit worried if the AI is introducing texture and crisp hair that wasn't actually captured? What do you think? -- Colin (talk) 10:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment All sharpening introduces sharpness 'that wasn't there'. Topaz AI software can be aggressive and introduce artefacts. It's a balance which I try to manage by using layers, but of course a) I don't always get it right and b) voters have different opinions of sharpness, noise etc. I can reduce the artefacts on the hand. The end of the bamboo is just carelessness where I reduced exposure, but didn't do it very well. New version on its way. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:36, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Skyline of the Central Business District of Singapore with Esplanade Bridge in the evening.jpg

Downtown Core is the historical and downtown centre of the city-state of Singapore and the main commercial area in Singapore excluding reclaimed lands with many integrated resorts such as the Marina Bay Sands, one of the most expensive buildings in the world, with the most expensive standalone casino at Bayfront Avenue. There are many skyscrapers in Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar and Marina Bay CBD with a height limit of 280m. It is one of the eleven planning areas located within the most urbanised Central Area,

If you think it has "Too much water" then you should see this featured picture of the same place and photographer, this proposed image is better in all aspects than another featured picture.--Editor-1 (talk) 03:52, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I specifically cited that as having a better composition above, so I disagree that this one is "better in all aspects". Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

[edit]

File:Skyline of the Central Business District of Singapore with Esplanade Bridge in the evening (cropped).jpg

@King of Hearts, Ikan Kekek, and Poco a poco: What is your opinion about this cropped version? I removed the far right/most right building whish is short/low-rise and unnecessary, this lossless crop made more space for the right side of the image. If another crop is needed please tell me.--Editor-1 (talk) 04:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

💡 @Editor-1: 3 things :

  1. Do not display another image in a standard nomination, otherwise the bot will get misled at the end of the voting period.
  2. For alternatives, especially with a cropped version, it's always better to ask / notify the photographer (when active, and this is the case here, I'm currently active on Commons). Photography is not only taking a subject, it's also about the choice of a framing. And I'm not sure to support your choice here.
  3. When doing such modification from a file, please mention your name in addition to the author. Say you're the author of the new crop. A framing is about the management of the space, this is an important thing, not a minor detail. A crop can either reveal or ruin a picture, thus this is an artistic choice. -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:08, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also: please keep in mind the photographer can withdraw your nomination, if the candidature doesn't match the tastes. Concerning the oppose and neutral votes above (even if I don't share the ideas), they're perfectly legitimate. It's a matter of taste, and I find the arguments valid. In the other picture, I like the colors and the reflection. The large framing is wanted. In this one, the subtle light is interesting. Both pictures are different, and there is no "better" one in my opinion. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, if the cropped version were offered as an alternative, I'd say I like its composition better than this picture but not as much as the night picture. The problem is the little bit of curved light pole that's cut off by the right crop. I'd seriously consider voting for it if it were offered. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:19, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No major difference. The first one is fine. -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:24, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Alternatives are for different crops or post-processing of the original image, if they are suggested by voters" and "The FPCBot handles the vote counting and closing in most cases, current exceptions are candidates containing multiple versions of the image as well as FPXed and withdrawn nominations. Any experienced user may close the requests not handled by the bot." please don't worry yourself.
The first one is not fine enough, the far right building is obviously redundant.--Editor-1 (talk) 07:13, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unless the photographer approves of this alternative being nominated, I don't think we should vote on it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Editor-1, yes nominations can be closed manually, but it is a longstanding practice not to muddle up a nomination with other files than proper 'Alternatives'. Any file, even non-images like sound-files or small images in signatures that are not template or script based, will be read as 'Alts' and this will for example prevent fifth-day closings by the Bot. So please just give links (you can write them in bold) to photos you want to share with the voters in a non-Alt way. We are capable of following links. Displaying other files just because you can, is not the best strategy. --Cart (talk) 09:35, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Basile Morin: Are you really sure you don't want this alternative even if User:King of Hearts -- User:Ikan Kekek -- User:Poco a poco prefer this? @Ikan Kekek: Can you please at least strike your opposite vote? thanks.--Editor-1 (talk) 12:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden Peak Fire Lookout
❎ Discussion about jpg compression level
  • I've seen this before if the 'restorer' use a better program than the 'uploader' originally had. It has happened to me too when I have helped some user who didn't have access to Photoshop and Lightroom. Small changes will increase the file in those programs. I don't think that small difference in file size is a big issue here since we are actually encouraged to upload as big files as possible.--Cart (talk) 17:51, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the restorer started from the source material, I would be fine, but I strongly suspect (s)he started from the the JPEG. And the changes are mainly details removal, so should reduce the amount of information the file carries, and hence its size. Yes it doesn't really matter here, and it would be even more stupid to add a new version on top since MediaWiki keeps all versions: the space is lost already. But maybe some people read me and agree with me that our planet has limited ressources ;) - Benh (talk) 17:57, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did a little experiment where I downloaded the original file and did only a mild NR on it in Photoshop, no dust spot removal, and just by doing that and save, the file jumped from 9.25 MB to 12.7 MB. Anyone can test this. --Cart (talk) 18:15, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You probably used different settings and lesser compression that's all ;) but the details was lost by the first compression so this would be useless outside an experiment. - Benh (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't quite understand what you mean. I didn't use any of Ivar's files, but went back in history to the original file, same as Ivar did unless Ivar had access to the original raw file. I assume you know that you can access the first (or any older) version of the file by clicking on the small thumbnail in the file's history. I think it also has to do with that when you do NR, you create better gradients between pixel areas. These areas that before the NR had more pixels of the same color, become several different colors and this will increase the file size. --Cart (talk) 18:25, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The filesize is partly determined by the settings on the software you use. See this analysis for Lightroom/Photoshop. I reckoned that Lightroom setting 90 (out of 100) and Photoshop 11 (out of 12) offered the best trade-off of file reduction vs retaining detail. I couldn't easily distinguish using the max setting from the "one stop down" setting but going another stop down did cause a small visible change at 100% pixel peeping. However, even then the change was "the noise shifted" rather than anything objectionable. I appreciate you can't get back what you lost, but you can stop it getting worse. This is particularly true if you have cropped the top or left, since those JPG 8x8 squares no longer line up.
This affects just storage size on Wikimedia's servers, and the odd few of us who ever look at the full size version. When someone looks at an image on Wikipedia or a reduced size version on Commons, the MediaWiki thumbnailer will have aggressively compressed that before sending it out. Benh, have a look at Special:NewFiles and you'll soon realised that a few extra MB in a high quality photo such as this is really not WikiMedia's problem. Plus, on the global scheme of things, a few milliseconds of Netflix blows this out the water, not to mention the x-rated portion of the internet. -- Colin (talk) 20:08, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe it's more serious a topic than I first thought. Cart, Charlesjsharp filesizes are determined by many things and mainly the information the files contains and the compression algorithm. Higher noise photo will yield larger size because of higher frequency information which are harder to compress. So usually, an NRed file will be smaller at equal compression algorithm. Keep in mind Jpeg is a lossy algorithm too, so it's a bit of vanity to think that by saving with a bigger size from a small size Jpeg, you'll get better results. It's as Colin said: at most, you'll stop making it worse. Charles, saying that topaze increases size whether you sharpen or NR misses a chunk of the story. You've got to tell on top how the original files were compressed and how topaze saves them too for a proper comparison. Colin, wrt size and space on Wikimedia servers, I can tell size doesn't seem to be a Wikimedia problem. I was just thinking about general use of ressource. Nothing is free, so let's use only what's necessary. That was my philosophy moment only. - Benh (talk) 07:01, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • However, I think that worrying about trying to make the file size smaller, in order to save a few MB on Wikimedia servers, is wasting another precious resource: one's life. And think of the likely other problem this worry may lead to: that someone uses too high a compression in order to save space, and ends up introducing JPG artefacts. Better to err on the side of too little compression. In the time it takes you to read this sentence, Netflix has streamed terrabytes of data across the internet. So, philosophically, as they say in the US, "don't sweat the small stuff". -- Colin (talk) 07:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Benh Files saved directly from RAW into Photoshop CS6 at maximum size jpg then put through by Topaz denoise AI on auto setting (includes sharpening) always increase in file size. Without exception. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I prefer to export RAW straight to JPG from Lightroom for this reason, but if I ever need to edit it in Photoshop I always save as 8-bit TIFF (compressed LZW) for small edits, and 16-bit TIFF (compressed ZIP) for major edits (for future proofing, because if I ever need a 16-bit version I don't want to redo all my local changes). -- King of ♥ 19:05, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Colin I totally agree :) my example is a bit extreme. But think of it that way: millions of cigarette butts on the streets, so how is one more going to make it worse? I'd still avoid throwing them anywhere (OK I don't smoke so it helps) :D Sorry for the digression. - Benh (talk) 17:25, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I get your point, the flash lighting is a little harsh, probably without using flash the ISO needed would have been too high. To me though that would only be a serious problem if it badly misrepresented the colour of the fur, and looking at other images on Google it seems roughly what you'd expect. You are both right, it's just that to me this is mitigated by the high resolution (20mpx with the creature filling most of the frame), the nice angle, and the sharpness and lack of noise at full size. Cmao20 (talk) 22:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • No. The settings are just wrong here. At ISO 200 anf f/11 explains that dark backgroud and very unappealing flat and cold lighting. It is very common to shot animals at higher ISO and Charles shows that ISO 2500 give good results when processed skillfully. One can surely do better in a relatively controlled environnement. - Benh (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Thanks Cmao20 for the nomination. I agree with you. Zoo photography is a special theme. It is easy to photograph animals in well lit large enclosures. But you have other conditions in those who live in terraria, aquaria or smaller cages, which are completely in shadow. Here you have to use a flash. As many (e.g. fish, mammals) are moving very quickly, you have often not the time to arrange the light in an optimal way. And I think, it is better to make photos of living animals than of taxidermied museum specimens, although there you have the time you need to arrange an optimal lightning. --Llez (talk) 07:10, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination Sorry Llez but it doesn't look like this is likely to win significant support to become an FP. It is still a very good photograph though and I think it's unlucky not to have done better. Cmao20 (talk) 19:48, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mlynski bridges in Wroclaw

Interior of Dhowa Temple
  • Yes, exactly, I was suggesting to "resize" (I know this word can be ambiguous), not to crop anything. So, applying an homothetic transformation, with the height remaining as it is, and the width reduced. Then, the proportions of the people will look more natural. In Photoshop (although I've got the menu in French): Edition > Transformation > homothetic transformation. In Lightroom: Corrections of the lens > Manual > Aspect. Hope this is clearer.

Administrative Map of the German Empire as of January 1st, 1900
 Question Why the map is not in SVG? --Wilfredor (talk) 17:58, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Wilfredor: I am not the author so I am not sure but, I don't think this map was created using vector graphics to begin with. --StellarHalo (talk) 13:07, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your feedback, sorry I didn't remark that you're not the author --Wilfredor (talk) 13:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question @BevinKacon: Why does the map has to SVG? Some featured digital maps such as this, this, this, and this are PNG. Also, what is wrong with the German text? It is a historical map of Germany created by a German. Are you of the opinion that the map should be in English instead? I would really appreciate it if you could clarify your position and perhaps after that, I could add some more FPs to the my list of future delisting nomination. StellarHalo (talk) 09:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi I will expand on each point for you:
  • SVG - such files can be sized without loss of quality. I did not oppose for this reason alone.
  • German text - the map should be language neutral, native German names of places fine, but the sub-headings are German. They could just be deleted, or replaced with any universal sign or symbol if possible.
  • The files you gave as examples did not have full support in their review, and they passed review process many years ago when the standard was lower.--BevinKacon (talk) 09:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@BevinKacon: I am not exactly sure what you mean by "language-neutral" in your second point.
  1. Do you believe those sub-headings, which serve to inform the readers about each separate section of the map, should be in English or have an English translation either on the map or in the file description?
  2. Do you think there should be a separate English version of the map?
  3. How do you think a multi-lingual administrative map would work in a practical manner especially for the ones that seek to have as much information of a complicated federal system of administrative divisions on one page like this one?
  4. Or do you believe that only the maps that effectively accommodate foreigners in addition to their respective intended audience are worthy of FP?
--StellarHalo (talk) 10:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The headings and words that are not names can be deleted. Any single language version can be uploaded on their own and linked to the language free version. This is inline with COM:MULTI. As it is a PNG file, it cannot be easily translated to any other languages, or any text changed. See File:Tanzania map-fr.svg for example.--BevinKacon (talk) 16:55, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blue tiger butterfly

 I withdraw my nomination I agree with Charles. I'm not normally keen on withdrawing a nomination so fast, but the picture Charles has taken is considerably better than this one. Unfortunately Charles' picture is currently displaying a fault on Commons where recent changes fail to show up when viewing the photo at full-size, as documented here. Hopefully this problem will fix itself, so for now I will nominate another picture entirely, but I will nominate Charles' photo when I next have a slot available. Cmao20 (talk) 16:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmao20: Since this is a cache issue, you should only run into this problem if you viewed the full-size page before the new version got uploaded. I have no problem seeing the latest version of Charles' picture at full-size. When viewing the photo at full size, refresh the page and the recent changes should immediately show up. StellarHalo (talk) 17:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@StellarHalo: I hear what you're saying, but I'm not sure that tells the full story. Before this morning I had never seen Charles' butterfly picture. I looked at the thumbnail, then went to view the full-res pic, and was greeted by his version as of 9th Jan 2018. I tried clearing my cache and visiting the page again, but no luck. Happily, though, I agree with you that I now have no problem viewing the pic at full size - the issue has somehow resolved itself. So Charles, you can expect to see your photo on FPC soon - hopefully tomorrow if this nom passes by five-day rule as currently seems likely. Cmao20 (talk) 18:21, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Third of May 1808
  • The "black line" is most likely the gap between the paining itself and the frame. Old paintings with the canvas stretched on a wooden frame, that might not have been perfectly straight and rectangular to begin with, get warped when the wood dries. In a lot of cases the painting and the frame don't match up perfectly and gaps appear. Some frames are made to cover a small portion of the paining's edges, some are not. In this case, it looks like the frame might not have been a perfect fit for the painting to begin with. --Cart (talk) 13:03, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi wall newspaper, Wochenspruch der NSDAP, issue of 11 January 1943. These posters were widely displayed in wartime Germany.
  • Very nice, that's the kind of information I'd expect from a FP candidate file description page. Thank you, and apologies for my strong language. I might be able to translate this into German later if I find a quiet moment. --El Grafo (talk) 11:14, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question As a Jew who knows of dozens of relatives who were murdered by the Nazis in Poland, should I agree with you? For whatever reason, I don't, but I agree with the fruitful efforts to provide more context. I guess the question is whether by featuring this photo, we honor the man or his party. And I don't think saying that this is one of the best photos on the site and showing how propaganda in service of evil can be effective, we are thereby doing the equivalent of erecting an equestrian statue to Robert E. Lee in the public square. I had more trouble with a nomination of a photo of an equestrian statue of Khmelnitsky, because that is an existing heroic statue that is currently in the public square and honors a notorious Jew-killer. This would be a photo of a document by a party that is blessedly out of power in Germany and Austria. But I think the crux of the issue can be reduced to this: Is a photo of an immoral document itself inherently immoral? I don't think so, but I respect the argument that by featuring the photo, we risk promoting the contents of the document. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've always believed that FP should be for any images that illustrate a subject particularly well, while POTD/POTY are for images that we are proud to display as a community. Certain types of FPs should not make it into the main page IMO, such as those depicting criminals, graphic violence, or sexual acts. -- King of ♥ 04:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Khmelnitsky ended up being POTD for 2020-08-24. I do not want such kind of material to be given a platform here. This poster is already VI, on my opinion its more than enough. --Andrei (talk) 07:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I surely respect your opinion on this. I recused myself from voting on one of the nominations of a photo of that equestrian statue because it wasn't clear to me that on the basis of quality and composition, it should be opposed, but I couldn't support portraying a heroic statue of him neutrally while the image of the statue itself seemed to honor him. However, I feel like this is different in context. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your concern, but I think that those wrong hands will probably get on it without our help, if they haven't already. Daniel Case (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I honestly think that the context of this - a cry to finish the job then, not leave it to the descendants, and how it can only be seen in a limited range of contexts that all help put a lie to the common myth that the general public was not aware of the Holocaust - I think the encyclopedic value outweighs any remaining propoganda value. I would suggest POTD is very careful with descriptions (Buidhe has said it should be pulled from POTY consideration above, so as long as the POTY organisers are informed of that, I think we can ignore this issue), but I think that, as long as a certain amount of care is taken, this sort of thing is valuable. Buidhe has been working hard to write, in an appropriate, academic, not-being-a-Nazi manner, about aspects of the history of Naziism over on en-Wiki, and this sort of visual evidence is helpful to such articles.
Obviously, there are reasons to be careful with such things. Our goal is to educate about, not accidentally promote. But I think this is about as good of an illustrative example as one can hope for, and - although perhaps I might be naive here - I don't see how it could be used to promote modern neo-Naziism, as it's very much of its time. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:30, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Amusing that Göring is made to look so leaderly and heroic here rather than the Jabba-esque figure he had become by then.

    Since everyone seems to be weighing in on the morality of featuring this, I will, in addition to seconding Peulle and Ikan, note that it makes us think about propaganda and how easily it can sway people, including us. The quote, outside of its historical context, is something almost any politician could say, and many have (including, I think, John F. Kennedy) and which in many other contexts many of us here would not disagree with (In fact, this is basically one of the arguments for addressing climate change now).

    It also shows (like the Pernkopf atlas, an article which I did a lot of work on) how artistic talent can be harnessed to execrable causes. Daniel Case (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Might be better to move it to a horizontal or slanted stick for compo. Having it at the end of one like this, brings my mind to moth specimens stuck on pins. --Cart (talk) 20:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is not Wikipedia Featured Pictures but Commons Featured Pictures. Whether an image carries any EV or historical significance, or even accuracy, should quite frankly be irrelevant (unless it adds to the image's value ofc).

  •  Oppose per Llez. The photograph is also too hazy for me. I actually prefer this picture of the windmill. Buidhe (talk) 06:55, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I did not want to “kill” the nomination of this photo; I would still vote for it, but IMHO it is necessary to remove/smooth that line and make that clouds match the rest of the sky. I would guess that two or more photos were combined here, e.g. a lighter and a darker exposure (this is completely legitimate and OK!), but the photographer forgot to smooth the gradation between both photos properly. If this is the case, it should be possible to remove the line and to make the clouds match the rest of the sky better by working with layers and layer masks. Or, if the clouds where just copied in from another unrelated image, one should just get rid of them and show the sky as it was – i.e., more like on the right. --Aristeas (talk) 09:53, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think it's mostly due to that is was a very dark/shadow-y part of the photo and I had to raise the shadows there quite a bit. This camera does not handle really dark areas that well. It is a re-occurring comment on my photos. In this case, I'd rather have a not so sharp area than a dense black blob.

Moon jellyfishes disturbing the top water layer of Gullmarn fjord, Sämstad, Sweden.
  •  Comment I guess I don't understand the standard for underwater pics. These are small jellyfish, and the one on the right is sharp at full page on my 19-inch monitor, and mainly, I find the water beautiful. I think we've promoted less sharp underwater pics lately. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:02, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sharp on your 19-inch monitor? Well, clearly not sharp on my 4K screen :-) We might not have the same eyes, or the same photo in front of them :-) I think the water was a bit cloudy, the focus wrong, or the animal moving -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please note that this isn't a species photo, it's about the layer in the water. I've searched online for photos of thermoclines, but all I got was charts and texts. So I have nothing to compare with. --Cart (talk) 00:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I know, these small waves in the water are interesting and can document the phenomenon, perhaps as VI. But for FP they're interesting only with the animal. I don't think the quality is up to our current standards, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's ok if you don't like this photo, I have no problem with that. There are many better photos of moon jellies. But to exclude photos illustrating physics from FP, that sounds a bit strange to me. --Cart (talk) 01:52, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, it is difficult to capture, otherwise there would be other photos of it somewhere. I captured it by sheer luck and I only nominated the photo because I thought the "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject. " was still in use. Guess it's not. --Cart (talk) 09:09, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ermell: I was quoting the rules of FPC (section "Symbolic meaning or relevance") in my comment above. So do you think should we remove that sentence from the rules, since it doesn't seems to be valid any more? The whole thing goes: Symbolic meaning or relevance … Opinion wars can begin here … A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph. --Cart (talk) 13:20, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's certainly better, and the light is perfect now, but I'm still not sure the sharpness is quite there. Not sure what camera you used as there seems to be no EXIF data but I don't think it's resolved the details too well. Nevertheless, I've removed the oppose.

Colorful clouds and blue sky with water reflection of an island hosting trees at sunrise in Si Phan Don, Laos
Totally agree. This nom was inserted in the list at 5:01, more than 5 days after, but I should have waited for the bot. Apologies. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question I love the sky and water, but I'm trying to figure out why the trees look the way they do. Is that just because of the light, or did you sharpen them somewhat, such that maybe it would be worth looking at them with somewhat less sharpening? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:14, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, Ikan Kekek, for your question. There is no special sharpening here, but certainly denoising. To get the colors of this sky without blown highlights, I had to shoot in lower exposure. But of course, due to the high contrasts, the trees were almost all black. I had just a silhouette. Not bad, but I made the choice to recover some details in these darker parts by lowering the shadows in Lightroom, and this naturally resulted in heavy noise. Although it is taken at 100 ISO, this noise was visible, at least at full size especially in the sides. Note there was also wind. This is a single image, and you can see the sky is fine at full resolution (a lot of details captured in the yellow & orange area). The weak part is certainly the trees, but the aim was to get some volume for this island. This is what my eyes could see in reality without special glasses! A solution I see now to get less noise would have been to take two pictures for tone mapping HDR, however, it was so windy, at slower speed the leaves would probably have been blurry. The image looks better at lower resolution. But the subject is more the sky over the water, with these gradients, pink and white clouds -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:28, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually the background is half door and half wall Cart, the dark shade is of the design on the door. To remove it, the dark portion has to be cloned and I never wanted to do that coz a simple try may spoil the natural beauty of the picture and it may also effect the subject (the cutie hamster :-)Mydreamsparrow (talk) 16:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I still think the photo would look better without the dark spot regardless of its origin. It's "bugging" the image. You don't clone such a thing, you apply a weak and diffused gradient in Lightroom or something similar, to counter it. Also, if it's something in the design of the door, how come it spills over to the pink wall too? --Cart (talk) 16:59, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks nice on my two side-by-side 27-inch HD monitors too. :-) When you look at a photo at a certain magnification (30/50/100/whatever %) the size of your monitor doesn't matter. You just scroll it around if your monitor is small. --Cart (talk) 11:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do, but full size at 19 inches is a lot bigger than full size at 13 inches. Of course I could look at it at 200% of full size on the smaller monitor, but in fact, the larger monitor can't get as bright, though I've set it to the max. It's very old. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:24, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The images were uploaded during Commons:Wiki Science Competition 2019, a photo competition that is widely advertised in the science community. But the simple thing here would be to just e-mail the photographer and ask him if he uploaded the photos himself or if they were "stolen" by someone else since we've had problems with this before. I'm sure he would like this to be treated in a proper way too. Perhaps Charles could do this since he is a known photographer (with website and all) in a field adjacent to this biologist? --Cart (talk) 09:22, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Manet's Olympia
  •  Comment I realize this would be a typo, but Monet and Manet are very different painters. (Monet is one of my favorites, as Debussy is one of my favorite composers, but I find that Manet's paintings only occasionally have fully realized forms [for example, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has a couple of big Manets that I liked the last time I saw them].

  •  Neutral I'm glad folks finally realize how hard it is to get underwater photos that are technically great. This is a really nice quality, and there is nothing wrong with the camera settings. However, I would prefer some better consideration regarding composition for an FP. It is harder than on land, but even so. I don't expect anyone to get it right on their first attempts (it took me some three years to get good shots into the water), but some wow-factor would be nice. IMO; you got it with the purple sea urchin, not so much with this or the green starfish. Just keep at it, it will get better. :-) --Cart (talk) 21:03, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Cart you don't have to tell me how hard it's to get nice picture underwater, now I feel more comfortable about reviewing them after gathering some experience. This is even more tricky than 5x-10x macro shots :) I thought though that your marine pictures were taken from above the sea. If not, what equipment are you using to get under the water? --Poco a poco (talk) 10:58, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hey Poco a poco, of course I realize that you have found out the difficulties of shooting stuff under water! I was talking about voters in general here. Previously, underwater shots were unfortunately assessed the same way as photos taken on land. So progress. :-) I don't have any underwater equipment (wish I had!) so I shoot from the shore, which presents other difficulties since I have to make the surface "invisible". --Cart (talk) 11:09, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well I would say between 300 and 600mm on FF (a 100-400mm on APS-C should be great). But to make a really informed choice, consider that the size of the moon is mostly dependent on the focal length alone (and same goes for the sun and any very far object). Then to get the element on the foreground (here the statue of the Chris) the right size is the tricky part which requires u finding the right spot at the right distance. So, just check on Flickr or other how the moon renders for given focal lengths, and you'll know. - Benh (talk) 21:58, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An iwan of Fatima Masumeh Shrine, qom, iran
  • It is part of the mosque, but your image is 100% symmetrical with a plain blue sky, how can we avoid seeing something inharmonious in that isolated corner? There's nothing on the left! If you had moved slightly your camera, this intrusive part would not have been visible. Otherwise, you could also cut it (or delete it). So tiny, this doesn't seem to be part of your composition. Your image will be promoted soon, because there are enough supporters, but I wanted to express my subjective view. It's not horrible enough to oppose, but a bit unbalanced -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paradise shelducks
  • The background doesn’t seem dark to me...are you 100% sure your monitor is bright enough? As for the sharpness of the heads, I do think you have a point, the head of the left duck is perhaps a tiny bit OOF. I still think this is overall a great capture though. Cmao20 (talk) 01:01, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination. I think this is a great photo and I wonder how it would do at FP in English Wikipedia - lots of encyclopedic value in displaying male and female ducks together in one frame. But it looks like it's not setting anyone's heart alight here. Cmao20 (talk) 14:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral Lovely colors, great idea with the sunflowers leading towards the building. Two things, however, prevent me from supporting: 1) low resolution; 2) a little more room on the right would help, because currently the image is too right-heavy. -- King of ♥ 18:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
