Place D'Youville, Québec, Canada

Vassholmen island outside Väjern harbor, Kungshamn
  • The sign is one of many daylight navigation marks along the coast. The small "crosses" are old mooring devices (a kind of bollards or cleats) from the beginning of the 20th century. These things are such very common maritime items along the Swedish west coast, I didn't even think about them. Now added to description and categories. --Cart (talk) 11:20, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I too thought it was tilted at first, but check the horizon to the right (you can tell it's the horizon and not some cloud line since there is a white ship on it), it's a bit fuzzy but you can estimate it. The island is asymmetric so it slants away from the camera (check on a map) creating this illusion. You can't go by the ice-line either since the tide keeps disrupting it and re-freeze it. --Cart (talk) 10:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flower of Rosa 'Veilchenblau'.
  • This is arbitrary, like to consider an oppose should count as much as a support (like at QIC) or that the votes should be hidden (like at Photo challenge). In a presidential election, candidates are allowed to vote for themselves. Considering the current rules, there are at least two advantages of voting for yourself: 1) more green reassure and encourage to follow the "green light", 2) after 5 days, the bot will consider your nomination finished if only one person supports without you (instead of 9 days).

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment FWIW, I did not write that I would prefer that one over the candidate (I wouldn't, it has its own problems). I just think that it does one particular thing better and used that to illustrate something that is – to my eyes – a flaw in the candidate. --El Grafo (talk) 12:49, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Quebec city, Canada
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors/Religious_buildings#Canada
  •  Info All by -- Wilfredor (talk) 19:22, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think you fell into the trap I saw Diliff caught by sometimes. You take lots of shots all over, and then, because you have them, you want to use them. But the ceiling here isn't anything special, you get the idea of the pattern from less, and your top third has camera-shake issues. The excessive vertical perspective makes the round skylight look oddly distorted, like it is facing the viewer, rather than directly above them. Does your darkest exposure still have the lights blown? I'm not so bothered about the bulbs, but the column ideally shouldn't be blown.
However, I think File:Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Quebec city, Canada 001.jpg is superior to this view. The added height reduces distortions, and we get to see the galleries and the choir better. However, I'd trim it a tiny amount top & bottom to make a 4:3 crop, removing the rear of the pews at the bottom which emphasise them not being straight, and removing a little plain ceiling. -- Colin (talk) 17:55, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 I withdraw my nomination Thanks for your detailed analysis, I think that with this type of church that is very small it is difficult to get a view without distortion. I did 5 exposures and also raised the ISO a bit to avoid too long exposure time. I had a hard time unifying the 5 exposures in a multi-photo panorama due to high CPU demand. I will take your recommendations into account, I sincerely appreciate your time to make these evaluations as well as reviews of my photos. --Wilfredor (talk) 20:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Isfahan,Iran
  • I think voters should know minimum things about photography and it's rules.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 08:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Everything is deformed in a photo. This sort of (dumb) comment implies it is wrong. And some people might believe and follow in. Since you shoot urself a lot of wide angle, you should know better. I don't think you do urselves good be letting this slips in without raising some warning banner. - Benh (talk) 08:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Extreme distortions often bother people here. This FP for example caused such reactions too. It happens often. But every voter is different and feel the deformations subjectively. The way I understand Michel's comment: 1) He's saying it's "a beautiful detailed photo" 2) "The floor is deformed". Maybe due to the wide angle (weird effect), or due to the irregularity of the tiles, especially at the bottom, some lines are curved. I add a note -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:03, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm an architectural photographer and as I know about distortions, this distortion is not a problem. because every direct lines are direct. perspective error not seen in the picture and every things is OK. if you capture the in front of your feet you will see like the Bottom of this image. and if you want capture Bottom and front side Simultaneously You will have no choice like this kind of distortion. this distortion is very common and normal in architectural photography especially if you want capture front side with floor or dome Simultaneously in one image. we have not any other choice to capture this kind of images without any distortion. your saying "this kind of distortion is wrong" like saying "we should not capture floor or dome with front side in a frame." this kind of distortion not bother people because everybody know mixing the floor or dome with front side can make this distortion and their minds are used to it by see similar pictures in past. --Amir Pashaei (talk) 17:13, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nobody's saying "this kind of distortion is wrong", just someone wrote "the floor is deformed", and this is true (for at least two reasons). Now you like the effect, but someone else doesn't like. And this person on Commons is allowed to vote. You can be a star photographer, that doesn't mean your pictures will automatically please everyone. So when someone politely says "beautiful but I don't like the bottom" at FPC, just respect this opinion, and wait for the consensus. Tolerance is crucial. Greetings -- Basile Morin (talk) 17:47, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with you in Tolerance and Accepting criticism. but I think opposing just because "I don't like it" not criticism and that's can Leads to chaos. everybody can oppose easily with no reason just by saying "I don't like it". Criticism has principles and most based on knowledge and reasons not by personal tastes --Amir Pashaei (talk) 18:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you want to capture part of mosque's dome and floor Simultaneously you will have distortion in your picture, but here disturtion isn't annoying or uncontrolled. a lot of pictures featured like this distortion in floor and I can mention to them if you want.--Amir Pashaei (talk) 12:15, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you complain about distorsion, maybe you're missing a big chunk of photography. It's as dumb as complaining that the water on a waterfall is soft. I could play it the same way and oppose all picture with red on them (arbitrary reason). Wording matters. It's fine not to like it, just say it. Don't say it like it's something that needs a fix like a stitching error or out of focus subjects. Regulars above others should know what they talk about. That's not the case here not matter how you look at it. - Benh (talk) 18:16, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you look at "Location" on the file page where it says: "Location= Börnste < Kirchspiel < Dülmen < Coesfeld < Münster Government Region < North Rhine-Westphalia < Germany < Europe", it might give you a clue. ;-) --Cart (talk) 13:28, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • XRay, some of your contrejours are really great when the light is well managed. Unfortunately here the sky is unmistakably cooked. Full white, no texture, burnt. Maybe some frames were missing in your HDRI work. Moreover, several parts of the tree are red or reddish, especially around these blown highlights. Red is not the natural color of this trunk, thus color alteration. In addition to these critics, I want to say that I find the DoF rather low, because you were close to the tree, and thus the background is blurry, in addition to be cooked. Sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was an interesting afternoon with special light conditions. The background, the sky, is (or was) real. The HDRI technique was used the improve the tree itself. The tree would be very dark. But I'll have a look to the unnatural colors. --XRay 💬 13:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps a nice afternoon, but 3:50 pm, according to the metadata, is too early in my opinion to shoot against the sun. Nevertheless, if the speed of your camera is fast enough, you can get a sky without white parts, as far as I know, and branches that are not reddish. The HDRI process after, just consists in adjusting the light between your most exposed frame and the less exposed one, doesn't it? -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • For a image taken as HDRI the edges are always a little bit difficult. With the light of the sun the edges of the branches are a little bit overexposed. I'll try to take another shot in the future. And: Afternoon, yes. Just a little bit more than an hour to sunset. I'll try to take the next shot just before sunset. (And a lower position to reduce the visible part of the path.) First, I'll try to fix the current problems with another HDRI tool. --XRay 💬 13:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right. Again: Minor improvements, QI yes, but another shot could be a good FPC. (And this photograph is still better than the version before. So it's an improvement.) --XRay 💬 14:15, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes. I made the dark parts at the raw a little bit brighter. I think it's the result. I can improve the leaves, other parts will loose. The solution is IMO to take another shot within the next months. --XRay 💬 14:38, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Light trails of three ships entering the Baltic Sea.
  •  Comment Thank you for your opinion. Lens flares are usually inappropriate but in this photo I think they emphasize the character of the image, they do not disturb the viewer. They were caused by light raindrops on the lens. The green light on the right side is not a lens flare but the light of a starboard buoy. -- Radomianin (talk) 14:56, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Yes, the lens flares are IMHO a bit much, although it's a nice idea and I think it deserves to be QI. Cmao20 (talk) 18:20, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Two things: Whether or not we call it "technical," water on the lens that shows up in big splotches in the image is a problem. :) Also, this other FP nomination just ended. That one is missing a little bit of the detail of this one, but is otherwise IMO better. In addition to the water droplets, this one also loses the bright reflection of the lighthouse and has an extra light trail above the others. When an image doesn't get enough votes here, it's often because people have mixed feelings. This was true for me in that nomination. It was an interesting image, with interesting light effects. I was leaning "support" but the overall softness of the image made me hesitate. Before I could go back, it was closed. I imagine some other people went through similar ambivalence. Question, though: @Ikan Kekek: Why was the other one closed early. 5-day speedy close is when it only has the support of the nominator, but that one wasn't supported by the nominator; it was supported by Daniel Case. — Rhododendrites talk18:33, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I never make a move to close something unless the bot has already specified it as featured or not featured. If the bot made a mistake and it didn't occur to me to look for a mistake, we should reinstate that nomination for the number of days it was cheated out of. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:40, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I should add that I don't know how to set that up so that the bot doesn't keep ending the time for voting on the nomination. I'd be more than happy for you to take care of that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:29, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Dear Wikimedians, thank you very much for the intensive discussion about this photo. If it were perfect, there would probably be no discussions. @Ikan Kekek: My answers to Basile's comments were not protests, I just kindly explained that the lens flares were caused by small raindrops falling on the lens during exposure and they were not caused by technical problems. The only mistake was that I didn't protect the lens well enough from light drizzle, which started again during the long exposure. The second mistake was not to increase the aperture value, because the plan was to shoot only one ship. But that evening, due to delays, two Scandinavian ferries and a large Finnish freighter left the port shortly after each other. That's why the light of the red portside beacon is a bit over-illuminated. The additional light trails near the Beacon are from the first ship and the red single light trail comes from the huge rotor sail of the Danish hybrid ferry which left the harbor as the last one. The focus sat on the first ship and thus on the fairway of all three vessels. @Rhododendrites: I also like the first nomination more despite the detail weaknesses. Perhaps it may be taken back into the nomination if that is possible. But the main thing is that the photos are used for Wikipedia to illustrate the articles. Despite their weaknesses I find them well done, I do not want to withdraw my nomination for this photo. Many thanks in advance to all Wikimedians who use their precious time for my photos. Many greetings from Germany. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The cause of the lens flares is not relevant to my preference for the photo not to have them, and they can be regarded as a defect of the photo or not so regarded, irrespective of their cause. You could choose to edit them out, especially as they were not actually part of the scene. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:51, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for your comment which I agree. The lens flares are and were not relevant to the image, they were not intentional. But an extensive retouch of this kind would do more harm than good to the picture. Thanks for understanding. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support because I supported the other one. Daniel Case (talk) 15:31, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Dear reviewers, I have softened the flashy reflection on the bottom right on the stones. Then I colored it red to match the other reflections. Likewise, from the top left, I colored in the first one. An attempted retouching had only made things worse. In my opinion, the photo works with the reflections and does not disturb the viewer. Additionally I have enlarged a bit the image section. @Ikan Kekek: Regarding the two issues with the bot and an undo of the incorrect speedy close, I contacted an experienced OTRS administrator via email. Unfortunately, FP canditatures are outside his field of experience. Perhaps as an advanced reviewer, you can find a way to get some expert advice through the community. Many greetings. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:55, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Whichever way you do it, I must congratulate you on getting such nice backgrounds and settings for your birds.

  • Thank you for your review. The image quality is not the best but in my opinion the motif is strong enough.

  • As the uploader of the nominated image, I support the nomination mildly, but suggest two superior pictures from the same set of 36 pictures.
The first alternative has the virtue of showing a view readily recognisable by those who appreciate star trail pictures: the scene shows circular star trails centred on Polaris. Many terrestrial star trail images show this Polaris-centred view and it is apt to nominate this space-based version of the conventional scene.
But I am more excited to propose the more thrilling alternative image which contains two spacecraft dangling from the space station; which contains light trails on the planet as well as out in the cosmos; and which portrays an exciting kinetic pictorial dynamism, angled composition, and a more dazzling abstract lightshow composed of light streaks on the earth. Of the 36 pictures I uploaded, this one strikes me as being easily the most impressive aesthetic offering. I nominate this superior image as my favoured alternative.
May I note, in conclusion, that a statement included, above, as part of the original nomination, states: "Voting period ends on 17 Mar 2021 at 19:59:20 (UTC)." Ikan Kekek rather jumped the gun by closing the nomination three days early, which leaves my alternative proposal annoyingly moot. O'Dea (talk) 10:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No it doesn't, O'Dea. Please feel free to nominate those photos! And to explain why the voting period ended early: When there are at least 10 votes to support a nomination for Featured Picture and no opposing votes, the time for consideration is cut short by the bot. This is a feature, not a bug. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:50, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This so-called "feature" contradicts the statement at the head of the nomination that the "Voting period ends on 17 Mar 2021." That is a bug-of-factual-contradiction (or error), not a feature. O'Dea (talk) 10:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Eh. It's true that line could use a qualifier like "see COM:FPC for exceptions," but the point is that even if we reopen it, there's no chance of this not being featured, or of it being replaced with something different. Best route is, as Ikan says, just nominate any others you think are better. They're sufficiently different that if people agree they're better, they will likely be supported. Personally, I prefer this one to either of those (which isn't to say I'd oppose). — Rhododendrites talk16:13, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd rather have the photo a bit noisy in that part than making it plastic-looking with noise reduction. I think we have gone a bit overboard with that particular tool. As it is now, you can imagine the details, you eye will fill them in. With NR you lose that detail forever. --Cart (talk) 22:21, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ikan, I think it was very rude of you to go and ask "people" before asking the creator, who is present and should be the first one you ask about any changes in their photo. You are usually good manners and civility personified here on Commons, so I'll chalk this up to a "glitch in the Matrix". Nevertheless, I will be reminded of this rudeness every time I see this photo, so I would rather not have it featured. That's why I withdrew. --Cart (talk) 10:32, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I apologize. I wasn't so sure of my views that I didn't want other opinions, but I take your point that I should have addressed my question first of all to you. I'll try to remember that in the future. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Boreus in a bog at wintertime
 Comment I asked from Urmas Tartes (who has photographed all kinds of insects that move on snow) and he replied roughtly that based on this image alone he can't be sure. There is definetly Boreus westwoodi in Estonia and so far he has determind that all the Boreus insects that he has photographed have been B. westwoodi. For instance there have not been any documented sightings of B. hyemalis in Estonia (at least in the database). Kruusamägi (talk) 19:38, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Support Wonderful atmosphere, good composition; even the high vignetting adds something to it. Normally I am a sharpness fan, but as Ikan has already explained it would be wrong to demand crisp sharpness in a fogscape. (I would still wish that either the reed or the birds were sharper – maybe a higher ISO would have been better to freeze the birds in flight – but overall the impression of the photo is fine.) --Aristeas (talk) 12:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I've already considered nomitation of this image for several times but I wasn't really sure if the sharpness matches the FP standards. However, since I see there are users who don't see this as an no-go issue, I'm to happy to support. --T.Bednarz (talk) 22:30, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very painterly. I think Monet might have approved. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:44, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry but I'm also on the oppose side, because the depth of field is too shallow and, as a result, the ducks of the foreground are just blurry, out of focus. Certainly the speed 1/80s was not fast enough to freeze the birds in flight. The vignetting is not pleasant in my view, I would rather fix these four dark corners. Nice sphere and atmosphere but dull light and colors -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:39, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not sharp and in ways that can't be forgiven by the fog, also dull light colors per Basile. To that I add a very cluttered and uninteresting composition. We have a lot of similar sunrises that are much more satisfying to look at than this and yet that I still wouldn't consider good enough to nominate. Daniel Case (talk) 04:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Virgin Mary Sculpture Aglow in Gdów
I didn't say it was fake, just that it looks fake, maybe the lighting or the excessive depth of field, I don't know.--Wilfredor (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Wilfredor: Respect your point of view but occasionally natural phenomena captured do sometimes look 'unreal' (too special!?) and given the subject here is a religious sculpture the sunlight\sky\clouds IMO add a comtemplative dimension to this photo which is not evident among most other photos in this FP Gallery, perhaps something to be considered by those who ironically might view the overall image as "not special enough". --SM:!)

Delist and replace with File:(Venice) Bocca di Leone in the Doge's Palace.jpg:

Proposed to be delisted Proposed replacement


  •  Comment The original is not sharp even at merely full screen on my 13-inch screen. I haven't seen this in person, but on the face of it, I disagree on the light; it's brighter in the proposed replacement, which I think is good. I'm a little surprised by the reactions so far (except the pixel-peeping; I expected some of that, but it makes no sense to compare a photo at gigantic full size with another photo at much smaller full size, which you are not doing). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The replacement is harsh white + harsh black, while the original displays gradients and subtil shades. In particular the text appears in its natural thickness in the current version, where the outlines are visible, whereas it's just full black without detail in the proposed alternative. More pixels but less appealing aspect in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:18, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist and replace --StellarHalo (talk) 09:42, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist and replace There is no problem with the light. The difference is in the patina. The two images are very distant in time. Time can be measured here by the thickness of dirt left by tourists who have free access to this sculpture and who do not hesitate to subject it to many outarges. Not to mention those who, despite the mouth is blocked, slip small messages or anything else. For this the sculpture is regularly cleaned which, in the same year, gives different photographic results. Personally I like both but I will vote all the same and take the opportunity to thank Ikan Kekek for this nomination. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ice sculpture in Quebec city downtown
 Comment I always ask permission in my photographs, however, on this occasion the sculptor asked me not to go near to explain anything and that I could take the photo. These are in a public place and are activities funded by the Government of Canada. In my interpretation of the Canadian law of freedom of panorama, sculptures made of ice have a strictly limited and fairly short lifespan before disappearing. Ice sculptures can be "permanent" if the intention was to leave the work in the public place indefinitely or at least for the entire natural life of the work.
