2010 Mavericks surfing competition
The image was taken from a boat. Here's how Shal describes the boat ride: "The boat was very rocky. Many people got sea sick though. One guy (photog) never even got any pictures he was so sick." The image was not freely licensed at all. I asked Shal via private email to release a high resolution image with a free license, and he kindly agreed. I would not like to crop the image. The break of the wave is amazing IMO, and I would not like to cut anything off this wave.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, thank you for making an effort to get it freely licensed. I understand your concern regarding cropping. Have you tried just to see how it looks? If it does not work, could the blurred area be repaired somehow then? I find it distracting. Should we ask our favorite physical oceanographer for help ? Or perhaps Lošmi could help? I do not know if he has a magic wand or what, but he managed to get from this to this FP (completed helicopter and sky). --Slaunger (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I did not try to do anything with the image. To cut off the "blurred" part means to cut off the most amazing part of the wave. Honestly I wished the smaller zoom were used to get the whole wave into the picture. In the example you have provided the correction was more or less easy. I could have done it myself. IMO to change this image is quite a different story. The surface and even the color of the wave is different in different parts. I am not sure the correction could be done without making too much of digital manipulations, but of course, if somebody wishes to give it a try...--Mbz1 (talk) 21:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Are we speaking of the same blurred area in the lower left corner (annotation)?--Slaunger (talk) 21:46, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason the annotation does not work for me, but now I understood what you're talking about, and tried to fix it.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Northern rose window of Chartres cathedral.
Now ok. --Eusebius (talk) 08:27, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean by that? The stone structure around it? It would be a very different picture, showing a priori nothing of the stain glass. I doubt it would be easy to take (or even of interest) because Chartres cathedral is a very very dark one, or at least so it appeared the day I was there. An interesting alternative picture would rather be the exterior view. But anyway we're talking about very different photographs here, not about the candidate picture. --Eusebius (talk) 14:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Barack Obama takes the second Oath of Office
  • Perhaps Pete Souza, the official White House photographer did actually pick this way of composition on purpose? With the intent to show the act as a dynamic situation rather than a classic "official" moment? If he had wanted to give the picture a classic static appearance, he certainly would have had the means and the position to do so. If you take a look at Souza's pictures, you will notice that he gives his Obama pictures a jazzy, casual look. Certainly on purpose.
Note how this is not just a snapshot. The room itself is symmetrical (the two chandeliers, the fireplace), and probably very solemn and static. However, the photographer decided to take a step to the left to breake up the symmetry, to create tension and dynamic.
The two chandeliers (to the left and right) and the mantelpiece (in the middle) frame the two men very effectfully. This is only possible because the photographer intently chose a lateral position rather than frontal - if he had picked a frontal position, Obama would stand in front of the mantelpiece, his head half covering the painting on the wall, and the chandelier on the left would be behind the judge's head, making him look like he has an aureola.
The photographer intently picked an angle from which we can see both men in profile, with their heads surrounded by free space. Obama's smile, which the photographer thought would be more important, is seen slightly from the front. Both men look each other in the eye, creating a certain tension, which they break up with a smile.
You'll also notice that the Portrait on the wall is not just decoration of the room, but it looks like it part of the situation, like it is smiling down on this act - the photographer perhaps noticed a smile similar to Obama's, earnest but also with a hint of irony. It's the mildly ironical situation of Obama's "second oath", captured ingeniously in what seemes like a snapshot, but is in fact a rather clever composition. I doubt many photographers would have been able to take a picture like this if put in the same position.
I've looked at it longer and my respect for the photographer grew even more: the straight lines in the picture are all at an angle, which makes it dynamic and lively. The straight lines form a vanishing point towards Obama, who is the focus of the picture. The golden picture frame on the wall actually almost frames Obama's hand. The wide-angle lens creates an intimate atmosphere. The lighting is actually pretty good considering there was direct flashlight involved - neither under- nor overexposed, no disturbing dark shadows.
This is not mediocrity or accident, this is very, very clever photography. --DuckobertDag (talk) 13:59, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would appreciate if you played the ball not the man, per the voting guidelines "criticising the author/nominator rather than the image". If you do want to discuss my edits, I was correcting other problems with the image when I made the crop, which I still believe is an improvement as it removes some subjects that were cut in half (hand/fireplace). If you prefer the original, you are welcome to put it up as an alternative - I may even support that too. 99of9 (talk) 02:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well I think that one should respect the photographer - if the picture was published this way, it should be left untinkered with. You wouldn't "improve" a painting by cropping it and tinkering with contrast and colour to make it look like you want it to look. Sorry about the personal attack though. --DuckobertDag (talk) 13:43, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually around here it's quite common for edited photographs to succeed where the original failed. Collaboration is after all the spirit of wikis. The photographer certainly has my respect, but that doesn't mean he did everything perfectly the first time. Anyway, his version is obviously still available untouched for everyone to see. I have simply made a derivative work, which he would certainly be agreeable to, given the license he released it under. --99of9 (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think that "ComputerHotline" as the first characters in a photograph about a church is unhelpful, and it may also be misleading. It seems to me that these particular characters are not usually associated with churches and could be expected to imply something to do with computers or networks.

360° panorama from the summit of Mount St. Helens as seen on an early-October afternoon. In the foreground is the ice-covered crater rim. Visible in the lower center is the lava dome. Steam rises from several dome vents. Above the dome, in the upper center, lies Mount Rainier and Spirit Lake. Mount Adams appears to the right of Rainier on the horizon as well as Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson on the far right. Also on the far right are glimpses of the Swift Reservoir, Yale Lake, Lake Merwin and the Lewis River. Climbers stand on the crater rim and are visible along the Monitor Ridge climbing route.
 Oppose now, as I agree with opposers regarding the warped horizon... and I hope that the stitching error can be repaired, in which case I'll be happy to support this otherwise wonderful work. --Cayambe (talk) 09:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Support Are you joking? This is a portrait. It is quite common to take a portrait with a unsharp background to emphasise the potrayee, so to say. But what is distracting in this picture's background? -- "Rather dark subject"? This bird is BLACK. I do not understand your critique. May be you can be a little more specific and explain? Zapyon (talk) 11:35, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I didn't complained about the background to be unsharp, but a little distracting because of the circles. And I find the picture to be too "common". When u have 400mm (+1.6 crop), it's not so hard to get thousands shots like that (I've tried, I know what I'm talking about... u follow a subject and use burst ; and I don't have 40D with 8 images / sec). FP has to be a little distinctive from the common shot. You're right about the black point. Still, I've seen some similar subjects with more details than this one. Here the most part is in the shadow... that doesn't help. Benh (talk) 10:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I can't speak for Benh, but I find the large bright circle behind the head distracting, and the composition is too central for my liking. I do like the pose and detail. -- Avenue (talk) 11:47, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support WOW! Very interesting and nice quality! --George Chernilevsky talk 06:45, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Good, but I wouldn't promote all of them. The second one isn't IMO good enough to be featured. kallerna 10:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I would choose the last one (4) only, as it shows the actual rotary plow. --Loadmaster (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree that the last one on its own is great. The second last also adds very significant value because it shows the action well (and has nice colours and composition). But I don't think the other two add enough further. So I would support the set of two, but not four. --99of9 (talk) 09:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment IMHO the first one is important because it shows how the snow actually gets onto the track (I wish I had a closer picture of the special car that scrapes the snow off the sides...). I put the second one in not because it adds much EV, but because I think it looks nice and it fits into the set. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I personally feel this is a valid set nomination. The work of a snowplow cannot easily be shown in one image so a set is a valid approach. I do feel that a set of three or maybe two per 99of9 might be sharper and I would probably support such a set. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 11:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Comment I'm with Dschwen here. If you need a collage for some article, you can easily put the pictures next to each other in whichever way you like. Animated GIF is even worse, you cannot show a single picture out of the set, cannot modify the rate at which they change (it will always be the rate I chose when putting it together), you cannot add a description to one of the pictures, and, worst of all, it only supports 255 colors, which will look horrible. --Kabelleger (talk) 21:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. Valid set nomination, very nice pictures, and they complement each other. Pasting them together is rather pointless, that's what we have set nominations for. An animated GIF would be even worse. Do I have to spell out why? --Dschwen (talk) 20:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Very interesting and valuable pictures. Unfortunately, I don't think the composition is as superb as with your previous train FPs. The third one is best IMO, but the machine is unfortunately hidden behind the snow stream. A picture with both the vehicle and the action visible in one shot like File:Rotating snowplow on Bergensbanen.jpeg would be great, but difficult to take these days of course. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Dear Daniel, I wish you good luck in April. Let's hope that the famous San Francisco Fog of our w:Indian summer would be around in April :) I love that fog, it is really a beautiful sight to behold. BTW there was a funny story associated with this image. There's a lighthouse few miles down the road from the place the image was taken from. I've heard that the light from that lighthouse in the fog is something to see, so I asked my husband to go there. I wish I did not. While driving we found ourselves in such a fog that I've never ever experienced before. We got lost, we did not know, where is the road. Few times I got out, and tried to locate the road with flashlight :) We were about to settle down for the night, but we were rescued by a bicyclist. He kindly agreed to ride slow enough :) for us to follow...--Mbz1 (talk) 18:41, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gray Jay
It is not a shadow .. check out this. GerardM (talk) 19:51, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It still looks like a shadow to me. All those shots show a clean white shoulder band stretching all the way around from the chest to the back; this one doesn't. The shadow seems to be cast by the tree trunk; it runs linearly down through the bird's head and shoulder, but is most obvious on the shoulder. --Avenue (talk) 01:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can make an alternate choice, but I surely wouln't like such a tight crop. It's a question of personal preference, of course. To me, the tree on the left "explain" the shadow on the bird and for that reason it should stay visible. Also, the look of the bird gives a "direction" in the picture toward the right, therefore space is needed on the right to keep our eye in the picture. Apart from all this, I always like the subject to "breathe" in the picture. --Cephas (talk) 00:37, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Toronto skyline
 Info Align the sides of the buildings with the side of your browser at full zoom; I can't see any tilt there. The water is apparently higher on the left because of the distance, but this is only an optical illusion. I do agree on the right side crop, I didn't saw that in the final composition (a big ship was located to the immediate right of the actual crop, all I did was to cut that ship). --S23678 (talk) 22:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think it's the vertical as much as the horizontals. There is a weird distortion going on. Not sure if it's a result of the stitching or what. --Dori - Talk 23:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Could you point out exactly where that is? --S23678 (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty much every building. My eye expects horizontal lines for the floors. Instead it appears to be clockwise leaning, due to perspective maybe. If the building has a corner, the left side should be angling up going right whereas the right side should be more horizontal? I don't really know how to explain it, just giving my "eye feel" --Dori - Talk 05:25, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, you're talking about perspective. Well, this is real life stuff, and it has nothing to do with the camera or post-processing. A "real" distortion would have been the absence of perspective for such a scene.--S23678 (talk) 13:53, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a sea mist beyond the breakwater and some shipping including naval vessels can be seen.

  •  Oppose Uhmm well I'am not convinced. The pictures cue state which is very dull for daylight at 11:46 feels very strange. The mood and exposure seems more like late afternoon or early morning. Look at S23678's picture below where the colors and light is much more crisper even at sundown. Reworking the adjustments could help.   • Richard • [®] • 13:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • EXIF data is an hour out so it was 10:46. I'm afraid I don't get the relevance of another image at a totally different time of day on a different continent? (I am going to assume you are not in the UK). The image had a little blue removed (it was over blue) and then was very slightly warmed looking at the history. Other than the inevitable levelling and a dustspot removal nothing else of note is in the history - clarification welcome --Herby talk thyme 13:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manual exposure metering (mostly used for panos) gives you no reference regarding the real lighting conditions. It depends what you measure. A RAW File or an grey card shot gives all informations about the exposure, channels etc. but this would go too far.   • Richard • [®] • 17:07, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: it's too small --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 15:08, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support.

Alternative crop
  •  Comment I tried a few different crops that avoid the distracting shadows and some of the foreground. The one I like best is to the right. I think the composition is a bit better here, although some of the nice colours are lost. I still don't feel it should be an FP, but perhaps others will disagree. -- Avenue (talk) 09:24, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per Maurilbert. More a VP than an FP, IMO. -- Avenue (talk) 03:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. Many little things I don't like here. 1) format: portrait would have been more appropriate 2) DOF to high, makes the image look cluttered and does not direct attention to the main subject 3) main subject too small and unclear from that angle 4) tree cropped unnecessarily just above the bottom. All in all a good picture but far from excellent for me. --Dschwen (talk) 15:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It's a good, but imo not a featured picture. And I also missed a encyclopedical meaning --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 17:18, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral - It's certainly a fine quality educational photo, but a little lacking in wow for me to see as featured. I'd prefer a crop which included the base of the subject tree and less of the space on the right. Jonathunder (talk) 19:46, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not wowed by this picture. It's not bad but you can find trees like that in a lot of places.

  • It was taken with a tripod, and it's a three exposures blending. Softness is probably due to the lens and to the focal length. It's a Canon 10-22 and the picture was taken at 10mm, where the lens is soft on the borders. - Benh (talk) 12:08, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kufstein Fortress
  • I don't agree with you as the mountain blends a bit too much with the sky, so we can't talk about mountain dominating the landscape being the main subject in my opinion. Also there's a bit of room above that mountain to move upright the castle a bit. - Benh (talk) 21:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
