Shell of a Cypraea tigris, Cypraeidae, Tiger Cowry; Length 7,5 cm; Originating from the Indo-Pacific. Dorsal, lateral (right side), ventral, back, and front view.
  •  Info created by Llez - uploaded by Llez - nominated by Llez -- Llez (talk) 05:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Llez (talk) 05:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Movement blur and reflected light on all of the shells.--Snaevar (talk) 15:55, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Cowries are incredibly naturally glossy and it's not motion blur, the spots actually look like that, some smudgy, some very distinct. For contrast look really close to the shell on your bottom right, you should see some very distinct-looking lines with that sharp eye of yours. -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 16:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment ?? Movement blur? Dear Snaevar, have you ever seen an original specimen or have you compared with other photos of this species? This are the original colour spots! In addition, the specimens have a high glance surface like a mirror, it is impossible to make photos withoout reflections. Theses photos were made in daylight (in the shadow) without any additional lightning! --Llez (talk) 16:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I have one of these specimens and I understand the difficulty, but the reflections are really distracting. I'd suggest an umbrella with the softest of light possible. theMONO 20:42, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I think, some reflections give a better impression of the special surface as to try to avoid any reflections at any rate (see also Alchemists photos of metals, e.g the recently featured Zirconium crystal bar). In addition, there are some differences in the glance of the specimens (due to age, conservation state etc.). Concerning umbrella: I made these photos in the shadow, as already said. Wheter you use an umbrella for producing shadow or other things, doesn't matter. Why an umbrella should reduce reflections, whereas other shadow-producing things don't? I tried different lightnings, this is very soft ligtning, the only situation without reflections was nearly complete darkness, impossible to make photos. --Llez (talk) 05:48, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support for own high qualities. Regarding the nominator's explanations, they sound obvious to me : "Movement blur" is here simply impossible for one who knows how are technically taken these pictures. The gloss is natural and show exactly how the shell is. Reflections are not distracting, but necessary in this case, in my opinion.--Jebulon (talk) 09:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Flow-Layout composition. Simply not that what i would to expect an featured picture. -- /人 ‿‿ 人\ 苦情処理係 16:01, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support To know this, it is very hard to beat. At least, draw a picture ...--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:08, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Question How would you arrrange the pictures? I'm waiting for your proposal. You are free to overwork this picture and to load up a version in another arrangement to show what you mean. I' very interested and I would be glad to learn more about good arrangements --Llez (talk) 18:26, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment -- I feel so sorry for the almost suffocated poor things... Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:25, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral -- Yes, but not special enough to get my support vote. A tough subject due to the high reflective surface. Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:55, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral - Good quality, no movement blur, lovely subject. My main concern is with the reflections; not that there are some (in fact they help show how glossy the surface is), but that they seem distractingly complex (at least in the two views on the left). --Avenue (talk) 03:01, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Looks good to me. Steven Walling 21:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support My issue is that I don't think the black looks good with these shells, and they could've maybe been spaced out more (though they might've seems bigger..). The grey, smudged spots do seem blurred comparatively and could be more contrast. Maybe red or a lite green would've been better? -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 01:53, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I always try several backgrounds and I look, which is the best (in my opinion). Perhaps you remember my last pictures, there was always a dicussion. When the backgound was grey, some wanted it greenish or black, when it was brown, some wanted it yellowish or black, now it is black, some want it... It is very difficult (or impossible?) to affect the taste of all. --Llez (talk) 06:01, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Black (or white) are obviously the only possible choices for such a shiny shell. You'd expect background reflection on the shell and with a colored BG it would spoil the image, while a fake colored BG would not show the reflection rendering an impossible artificial combination. The black background here is spot on. W.S. 11:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Nice -- Raghith (talk) 10:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- H. Krisp (talk) 17:53, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Movement blur would be a bit ridiculous in such a fixed setup, wouldn't it? But still I don't like the compo, the reflections, and the too sharp masking here and there. Stick to the black background however (or even white would do) as the fancy colored ones detract from the subject.W.S. 11:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per opposers, and "they are just shells" (nothing which stands from photographic point of view) - Benh (talk) 16:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A farmer who is hosting a pilot project to use stored rainwater for irrigation of food crops during Nicaragua's intense dry season.
  •  Support I uploaded this because I think it's an engaging portrait of an important subject: a full 29% of the 2.3 million people in Nicaragua work in agriculture. There are some blown parts of the clouds, but I think the subject matter, perspective, and overall composition make up for this. -- Steven Walling 01:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose In general the composition is ok (maybe a bit too centered for me). But besides the blown clouds, the left side of the farmers face is nearly too dark and the photo is tilted. --AngMoKio (座谈) 08:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose The portrait is great, but the photo is indeed a bit tilted. If it would be fixed, I would support. Tomer T 11:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens) in green surrounding. This frog easily camouflaged in green surrounding.
Thats what I find in this image ; the "Camouflaging effect of Leopard Frog" .Thank You for your comment.-- Raghith (talk) 18:54, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Monument to Miguel de Cervantes, with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
 Comment Thanks Kadellar (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I don't think it's overexposed and sharpness could be arguable. The goal of this picture is showing the two main objects of the monument: the writer and his most famous characters. Kadellar (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alt

[edit]

  •  Info suggested crop
That's what i understood, too. Then, i suggest to get rid of everything not relevant : the tree on the left, the capitals of the columns, the building in the background, the other statues on both sides. This would lead to a much tighter crop, like the suggested one on the right. BTW, i also attempted to reduce the harshness of the contrast. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 02:23, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's a nice crop. However, I wanted to show a little bit more of the monument. Perhaps that's coming back against me, as the main objects are "smaller" in the whole image. Does anyone support the new cropped version?? Kadellar (talk) 15:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I like better the cropped version. Yann (talk) 16:21, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

a windmill in the harbour of Rhodes, Greece
  •  Info an old (14th century, restored) windmill on the harbour of Rhodes, Greece, by me -- Jebulon (talk) 15:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Jebulon (talk) 15:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm afraid this image has several problems. First of all, why is the top so dark? Unless it is in the morning of evening (which it is not), that should be the brightest part. The sky, especially near the top, is noisy, and the spokes of the windmill are overexposed. The composition is really nice, but the quality is not. What I don't understand is how a Sony A550 at ISO 200 could produce this much noise. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 18:51, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I beg to disagree. The highest point in a blue sky is almost always darker/bluer. Just google sky pictures to notice that. The physical explanation is that when you look at the horizon, you see a larger thickness of atmosphere, whereas when looking directly vertically above you, you see the "black" background of the universe through the thinest thickness of atmosphere. When such an effect is desired, it can be emphasized with a polarizing filter. I don't have an idea whether such a device has been used there. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 00:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've never noticed what you claim and I've been looking at the sky much of my life. Also, the Sun must've been behind the photographer to their left and about 45 or degrees above the horizon judging from the shadows. Unless polarizing was done as you say I have an inkling this might be accidental vignetting caused by the camera or the lens. -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 02:13, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • As one can see, I'm not a specialist of technics, and I often use wrong settings, but when I read some peremptory assertions, I think I'm not alone in this case... I confirm the use of a polarizing filter, the effect was my choice, and furthermore I think this picture is not sooooo noisy, even in the (dark ?) sky.--Jebulon (talk) 09:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose sails on the windmill lacking sharpness.--Snaevar (talk) 07:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for review. White is white, especially in Greece, and no details are lost... If the sails are unsharp, then the wooden parts of the wings must be too, but they are sharp, in my opinion...--Jebulon (talk) 09:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Torre Mozza, XVI Century coast tower in Tuscany (Italy), sited in Follonica gulf in front of Elba island.
The sunshade and the sky above are a little noisy, same on the top roof of the tower and there is a little distortion over the whole picture what is OK with 14 mm lens. Still it is a very good photograph due to your really nice composition. --Mbdortmund 12:05, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed Thanks for your suggestion, I have re-developed the RAW file by means of a different software, so I have got better noise reduction (without introducing loss of details) and better lens distortion correction. Vielen Dank! Digitalsignal 13:12, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose all these umbrellas disturb the major object of this image that is the "torre". Ggia (talk) 16:11, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Info Thanks for your critic, it gives me the opportunity to clarify that this picture portraits not just the building (torre) but also its present-day context (as stated in the caption, too). The contrast between its ancient origins and current use/location is intentionally underlined. Digitalsignal 19:08, 01 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment As you already has seen in FPC.. I don't oppose because the image is a little noisy or because the user don't have the latest technology camera etc.. neither I make comments like "no wow for me" etc. Aesthetically all this composition doesn't seem nice (Formalism). If I was there I was trying to make a close photograph of the "torre" which has most encyclopedic value in this composition. Ggia (talk) 21:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Info Thanks again for your reply, I appreciate your openness. I just can confirm what already explained: I wanted to render the "old" building in its "new" environment (a Blue Flag beach). I could have made the umbrella smaller, but I would get an unbalanced picture. Excluding the umbrella and supports would give me a huge tower smothering the surrondings.

TGV Duplex on the Cize-Bolozon viaduct
  • Imho, if we criticise the technical quality here (which is in my opinion for a landscape wide-angle shot quite good), it will encourage people to reduce their 12mpx images to 3mpx images before uploading them. --AngMoKio (座谈) 10:53, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is no need to reduce a 12 MP picture to 3 MP when the parameters are chosen well. We have other examples of great landscape images and with those one this picture has to compare. --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Can you show me such a landscape photo? I think that we all (me included) are pretty much spoiled by the often stunning stitched panorama pictures, which mostly consist of several resolution-reduced pictures. I rarely saw a non-stitched wide-angle landscape shot with a stunning sharpness. Do you think that the whole photo here is quality-wise questionable or just parts of it? --AngMoKio (座谈) 11:21, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • e.g. this one File:HŽ 2044 between Turcin and Sveti Ilija.jpg is much better in technical view, I have chosen also an image of a train, a non-stitched panorama and even the same photographer. The whole image of this candidate has for me a muddy impresion, not only some parts at the edge. In my view this light/landscape-situation has to be take with a much lower exposure time than 1/640s so that it become a bit underexposed to be brighten later by digital image editing. So there would be a chance to conservate a bit more of the structure of the bridge and the train itself. --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:58, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • File:HŽ 2044 between Turcin and Sveti Ilija.jpg has been scaled down (I don't remember to what extent; I can upload a 1:1 version if you want). No surprise it is much sharper. @structure of the bridge: The bridge is not overexposed (I think), so there are no details lost - I don't understand what would be gained by a lower exposure and making it brighter afterwards. But I'm not sure, maybe this image is generally a bit too bright? --Kabelleger (talk) 13:09, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • ISO 100 won't cut it here. Something like 1/640 s exposure is necessary to keep the moving (!) train sharp, and I don't want to go below F6.3 or so because the image quality gets worse at larger apertures. --Kabelleger (talk) 11:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Why your last chance? Yes, you could indeed become a photo pro but, as with most valuable things in life, it will take time and lots of work. In the meantime, please stay with us (you will learn a lot here) and start saving money for a better camera. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:11, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

      • You can nominate up to two at a time. When they are closed, you can nominate two more. But most photographers don't have anywhere near that many images of extraordinary value anyway. So concentrate on uploading lots of valuable photos, and only nominate the very best of the best for featured picture. --99of9 (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did like the image more in full scale than thumbnail but a different angle, like maybe a few degrees more to the left toward the side of the cattle and cropped differently to include more pasture around them would've made for a better composition, I think. -- One, please.

  •  Question My question was not about the set.. if the images should be present as seperate images or inside a collage as this image here.. Ggia (talk) 14:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Resolution: each image can be reproduced at 300 dpi in 8x10 format, which is letter size, plenty of resolution if someone breaks it up. Image set: Collages are common in FPC, and this particular one is presented as a set (or collage) because all three represent the development stages of this species, the eggs, the nest, the chick and the adult in its natural habitat. A lot can be learned from all three images.

Japanese Rice Field
 Comment --Did you really look the image at full size? And you're not surprised by the fact only the center of the body is in focus while the head is completely blurred knowing the whole body is in the same focus plane, as well as the fact the bottom of the image is again less blurred? This is not a « choice of focus » but was photoshoped! Pathetic. Sting (talk) 14:24, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well yeah it's pretty clear this has been altered digitally. But I'm not so sure how one could photograph this type of scenery in an interesting way; It's not an object that could be isolated and masked. -- One, please. ( Thank you.) 04:13, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An Indian Pond Heron in breeding plumage. Taken at Kavalam in Alappuzha District, Kerala
  •  Comment I just spent 2 days in a swamp photographig wildlife. Birds are very hard to photograph, for they don´t like humans encroaching on them. This photograph is a good photograph in general terms, and while it lacks sharpness at 100%, when viewd at smaller size, which is how it will be reproduced anyway, it is definitely acceptable. To expect things to be razor sharp all the time is not necessrily neither good policy nor good photography. Just as enlarging film negatives eventually produce grain and degraded quality, so do digital images. It is all about reproduction size and viewing distance. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:07, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The centralized composition is not so interesting and there is quite some chromatic abberation seen at the edge of the petals. For a plant picture I would recommend adding the latin name of the plant as well, and consider geocoding it. --Slaunger (talk) 21:53, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oberaargletscher, Bern, Switzerland in 2010 July
Edited version (color balance)
  •  Oppose --Very nice and dramatic mood, but the manual color balance is off, much too yellow. I propose here an edited version which reveals also a photograph richer in colors for the rocks. Sting (talk) 15:59, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment A good point and also the edited picture is quite good, but... For real, the color in the moment wasn't so blueish. Actually the sunlight made the glacier and snow more like a little light brownish because of the cloud layers and the angle of light through humid air. Other fact is that the light in the landscape was a little brighter, so on purpose I took the photograph with somewhat darker exposure (to give it the mood). In any case, I won't oppose the edited version either if people took it easier with that one. --Ximonic (talk) 17:04, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Waterspout
  •  Info uploaded by Bäck to de.wikipedia - nominated by Ks0stm -- Ks0stm (TCG) 18:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Ks0stm (TCG) 18:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose as an FP. It's grainy and unclear, but of course given the conditions this is practically unavoidable. The image has significant educational value, illustrating an amazingly well-formed waterspout unobscured by rain. For that reason, I would rather see this as a valued picture, since it's probably the best shot of a waterspout we have. That said, the composition is unsatisfactory, at least for an FP. The horizon is highlighted oddly, and awkwardly intersects the top of the boat. Also, the wake of the boat funnels the eye's attention toward the vessel, detracting from the waterspout itself. As an aside, the title should be made less cryptic, but that's an easy fix. Overall, not a bad nom, but just not the right venue for this particular file. –Juliancolton | Talk 22:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination. Wise comments from Juliancolton, and all in all I trust him enough that I think I'll take his suggestion and retry this at valued pictures if I can get valued image criteria 5 sorted out (which may be very problematic). Ks0stm (TCG) 17:38, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is impressive picture. I'd like to support it. Pity that you withdraw nomination. --Lošmi (talk) 18:06, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment Slaunger, thanks for your support and comments. Regarding colors, there were not many. There were two light conditions, the background was the mangrove and the top branches made it a dark area. The crocs go into the water as soon as they feel the boat approach (you can see one in the dark background, and I got this one just outside the tree cover, hence the dark background, for exposure was done for the near croc, we are talking about 3 stops difference. Otherwise the greens would have come out nicely. On the other hand, the crocs are basically b&w! So in short, two light conditions and a naturally occuring scene without colors. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The image contains several stitching errors (see annotations on Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Belfort-Pano-1.jpg), some of them obvious, which spoil the general quality of this panorama and make that imo it doesn't deserve the label until these problems are corrected. I previously contacted the author asking him to make the corrections but he answered he couldn't. I'm also surprised that in the nomination votes nobody noticed those errors.

Well, it illustrates a simplified model, which is good. Having dissipation in this movie would unnecessarily complicate things and after all, quoting wikipedia: "Newton's cradle ... is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy", which this movie does. Not sure about the quality of the animation, and I would also like to see animations with 2, 3 or 4 balls moving at any time. Especially the case of 3 and 4 balls could be interesting as it is a bit surprising at first and could make the watcher want to learn more about it. bamse (talk) 06:41, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is missing? -- /人 ‿‿ 人\ 苦情処理係 10:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Multi purpose dowel
 Comment There are many kinds of wall plugs, but I think that for most kinds (at least the ones i use at home :-)) there is an additional point in the fixture - that as you continue turning the screw the plug is contracting forming a bulge, which further helps fix it in the wall. I think the animation could be improved by adding that aspect of the process. --Slaunger (talk) 11:25, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment You are speaking of a different type of dowel and therefore should be made another animation, as it works different. -- smial (talk) 12:17, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Ah, yes. But in that case I really think the animation should show more clearly that a tight fit in the hole is typically needed for this kind of wall plug, as otherwise it will simply not mount properly as noted by Sting and Prolineserver below. It is a very illustrative and instructive photo montage of the multipurpose plug you have there by the way, smial. --Slaunger (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Drawing of a fictional landscape with a figure in manga/anime style.

  •  Info Of quite doubtful educational value. It is not obvious why a "figure in manga style" has to be a naked woman with naive/suggestive face, tightly closed legs and big breasts and what she has to do with fictional landscape. Also don't think that image subject is totally irrelevant here and great usage of GIMP, Inkscape and Blender can be used to justify keeping it. If I were to make a photo of, say, hanged Mary the Elephant while taking care of smallest photographic intricacies, I don't think my image could get featured based on the "great camera work, subject irrelevant" argument.

  • No way my fault - the delisting template automatically lists nominator's voice for "Delist". And I think it's logical.

  •  Delist . It's not among the best work in Commons. As some editors pointed out at the FPC, the textures and perspective (especially the waterfall and its backdrop) are not top-notch; while the sky and light are well done, the overall composition is poor, and the content of the scene is too specific to be useful as a generic illustration of Manga style. If it's not illustrative, then it isn't educational, but a work of art in its own right, and as a work of art -- a work of art that is completely unknown outside Commons, by a non-notable artist -- it is too weak. In my view it is even doubtful if the image is within project scope. Commons is not a repository for self-created artwork without obvious educational value. --JN466 13:13, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Nice canvassing: [4] -- Paddy (talk) 13:46, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist This is borderline even with COM:SCOPE (and IMHO on the outside side). Generally, I fail to see the reasons why this should be featured (and the nomination discussion does not help with that, the support vote comments are: “Kawaii”, “I like it”, “Superb work”, “i like her big tits :-)”, “i know that it was very much of work for the user”, “very good work”, “I have seen this work evolve and it is brilliant”, that’s all). Not that the picture isn’t nice, but – is that really all it takes for a FP? --Mormegil (talk) 13:57, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment leaving aside quality issues, this image is in use on the technology portal of the Chinese Wikipedia and the Anime and Manga portal of the Tagalog Wikipedia. It is also in use on several featured picture pages, but I cannot reliably tell if these are locally selected pictures or the same selection made on Commons. As it is in use on a Wikimedia project it is explicitly within the scope of Commons, "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose". It's use on the technology portal of the Chinese Wikipedia (based on Google translate I think it's being used as an example of what can be done with Gimp) suggests that its quality as an example of manga art is not the only consideration that should be made. Thryduulf (talk) 14:20, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I come from Chinese Wikipedia, may be can solve some questions(我刚好来自中文维基,或许可以解释一些问题).I see"this image is in use on the Chinese Wikipedia".This may be a mistake(这可能是个误会),we don't know why "this image has been assessed using the Quality image guidelines and is considered a Quality image",in the name of done with Gimp(因为中文维基人也不清楚为何这图以GIMP制作的名义获得优质图像的). Use it, simply because the word "Quality image"(只是看到“优质图像”这词就使用了).
      for myself,it's not among the best work in Commons."the overall composition is poor, and the content of the scene is too specific to be useful as a generic illustration of Manga style"(只是堆砌技术,画面内容很多但像拼凑而成,找不到重点,并没有丰富的艺术表现)

      • Hallo. It looks to me like the image was added in this edit two days ago, as part of a periodic image change, probably because it was on the Chinese Wikipedia main page (which copies the Commons picture of the day). That portal is transcluded into the other portal, hence the file usage listing shows the image as being in use on two Chinese Wikipedia portals. --JN466 20:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep That canvassing needs to end. Some people didn't liked to see that image in main page and now are creating all that crusade against it. That people needs to understand that Commons is not censored and get over that. Béria Lima msg 15:19, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • First of all, there has not been any canvassing. Secondly, it is not "some people", but rather a lot of people who objected to this image. The discussions that sprang up on the Russian Wikipedia's main page talk, on the Gendergap and Commons lists, and during the Wikimedia presentation of the Commons project to librarians and curators, were quite independent of each other. Perhaps it just isn't a particularly good image. --JN466 16:20, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist Please, don't take this as an insult or any kind of venomous jeremiad! I'm trying to give an objective opinion. It is a colorful and nice looking picture as an artwork! But in my opinion it just fails to have the real value among other featured pictures as a documentation of the world. I think, in the future it would be quite problematic if every artist were nominating their most recent paintings of fictional stuff from their cool imagination. This is still not like Deviant Art kind of website. --Ximonic (talk) 16:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep - It's beautifully done, and that's mostly what matters here on Commons. - Benh (talk) 17:16, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not according to Feature picture policy: "our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures ... beautiful does not always mean valuable." --JN466 17:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Agree. But I meant that artistic merit is more important than usefulness or encyclopedic value here. And I don't see much better and similar pictures than this one on Commons, which makes it valuable. - Benh (talk) 18:07, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, but then you have to be prepared to host any halfway decent original art in Commons -- any water-colour, oil painting, charcoal drawing, portrait, drawings of fictitious buildings, fantasy landscapes, etc., as well as garage bands' unpublished songs and other electronic media, each of which will be in a particular style it could conceivably illustrate. That's not what Commons is about, according to the present definition of project scope, where original art is expressly excluded.
        • There is more that could be said about the painting's quality; the waterfall has an involuntary MC Escher quality about it—it just does not make geometric sense; the shadows on the girl are off—considering where the sun is, her right shoulder and the right side of her face and nose should be shaded; her foot and toes look unreal—she is missing a big toe; the water cascading down the cliff should be in the shade, but instead has the same colour as the water at the lip of the fall that is in the sun, etc. While the image is obviously better than what most Wikimedians could produce, the artistic merit judged by professional art world standards is simply nowhere near outstanding. It's amateur art. And we don't have better or similar pictures of this style in Commons because amateur art has traditionally been outside scope, and most professional-quality contemporary artwork and music, even when Creative Commons-licensed, has some restrictions (usually non-commercial) that excludes it from Commons. --JN466 19:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • Your comments show a big lack of knowledge. The shading of the girl is right, because it is flat shading. (See literature about Super flat, the article is crap) Same goes for the anatomy, which is not human anatomy. The water does not need to be in shade, it actually gets light from the fog in the lower background and additionally from the wall to the left and something like a rainbow due to fine particles. You could also observer this effect in real nature. Just be at the right spot at the right time. You describe it as a fantasy world. But at the same time you want accurate physics and a real world scenario. Think about it. -- /人 ‿‿ 人\ 苦情処理係 10:17, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • It's natural for you to defend your own work, but I suggest you have a few blind spots in assessing your work objectively. Some of the same objections were raised in the failed featured candidacy at de:WP, notably by Blutgretchen. The foot is just poorly drawn; even in manga people have big toes. The composition and perspective (see comments below) are well below featured quality. --JN466 11:05, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
              • Für Dich scheint dafür was ganz anderes natürlich zu sein: du bist seit Monaten auf Commons nicht sonderlich aktiv und erwachtest plötzlich aus deinem "Schlaf" seitdem Du dieses Bild auf der Titelseite gesehen hast und es mit allen Mitteln versuchst los zu werden. Nachdem Du es nicht geschafft hast, Beria zu überzeugen, das Bild von der Titelseite zu entfernen weil es angeblich den enzyklopädischen Ansprüchen widerspricht kommt als weiteres Argümentchen "die Qualität reicht für FP nicht aus". Ein weiterer wegen offensichtlichem Dummfug sofort wieder geschlossener Löschantrag von Dir auf ein anderes Bild, was dieses hier einbindet und weitere Aktionen zeigen schön auf: dein durchsichtiges Verhalten changiert zwar immer wieder aber zielt letztlich doch nur auf Störmassnahmen ab.

  • Clearly  Delist . It does not appear to be a valuable picture, nor does it have any particular context, given that it is not used in any Wikipedia articles as best as I can tell (although a derivative File:Censorship in anime.jpg is used in a single English Wikipedia article). If its value can be demonstrated in other ways, then I'm not aware of it. It has a lot of composition issues - each element appears to be very disjointed and don't link well to each other (e.g. the tree looks very odd being so high up on the right, I've no clue what that wooden thing to the left of the tree is, there's a random pot in the background, the waterfall looks very awkward). The half-naked appearance of the girl appears to be gratuitous rather than intrinsically part of the style of image. There are much higher quality images available from the same Wikimedian (including several that are deservedly featured pictures: File:Mahuri.svg and File:Anime Girl.svg) I'm stunned that this became a featured picture at all, to be honest - I thought the standards here were much higher than this. Mike Peel (talk) 21:47, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I noted above, it is in use in the portal namespace on at least two Wikipedias, so by the Commons policy it has an educational purpose (the Portal namespace is, like the article namespace, reader facing). Thryduulf (talk) 00:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't view use in portals as a sufficient indication of value. Portal content is transient by nature, which means that it will most likely be removed from the portals at some point in the (near?) future (irrespective of this discussion). On the other hand, article use tends to be much more long term. If something really has high enough value to be a featured picture, then it should be used --Karelj (talk) 16:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)in a mainspace Wikipedia article somewhere, or have some other clear demonstration of its value. Mike Peel (talk) 07:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • BTW, note that I'm arguing that the image lacks sufficient value, not that it lacks any educational value.

  •  Keep a lately elected featured picture (December 2010) should be now, a half year later, not featured because it was "Picture of the Day" and some persons have problems with topless women in art? Nothing but a farce. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:18, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment On a side note — while those who are for delisting this pic tend to go into exhaustive detail why exactly it has some problems, why it can seem objectionable and why it's probably not the best idea to have media like that appear on the main page, many voices for keeping it sound like "huh?", "farce", "stop canvassing" and "it's totally your problem and problem of several other freaks like you, you're a minority and we won't deal with you, shush and bear it". I mean, if someone says "This pic is X, Y and Z, delist it", shouldn't opponents say something like "Well it maybe X, Y or even Z, but it is also A, B and C which prevails, keep it". The only real arguments that I see here is "it is used in some wikis" and "commons is not censored". Don't see how the fact it is used affects its being featured though (really, there are thousands of pics that are used in wikis without being featured). As for commons not being censored, all of us agree it's quite useful to have a handful of pics and photos displaying, say, breasts and pelvises of living or recently deceased people belonging to Western culture, but will any of them ever make it to the front page of an educational project without provoking a heated discussion? No. Why? Because pretty much everyone knows these are NOT something generic that you routinely see at the streets (or at home) of cities/towns in Europe or NA. Ari Linn (talk) 12:32, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment As this image and its selection as picture of the day on Commons and, therefore, the Bengali, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Bulgarian Wikipedias has been extensively discussed in largely unflattering terms on the Commons, Foundation and Gendergap mailing lists, some editors have expressed concern that these mailing list discussions may have had a canvassing effect. At present I see no indication whatever that this is so, but regardless would ask any editors voting one way or the other to please indicate whether they indeed did become aware of this delist request through one of the mailing list discussions, so the community and closing admin can take this into account. Thank you. --JN466 14:25, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure: I did become aware of this image through this post on the Gendergap list, and the resulting discussions on the Commons list, which started with this crossposting of that post. --JN466 14:25, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist I didn't think it was Featured quality when it was up for nomination in the first place. If you just compare it to other similar Featured media -- such as this and this -- you can see what I mean about technical and aesthetic quality not being up to snuff. The fact that we had an amateurish piece of anime with naked tits on the Main Page is just insult to injury, as far as I'm concerned, and the fact that we have a ton of people supporting such a crappy, uneducational file for mere sake of being against canvassing is not really applicable to this forum. The question is: is the file Featured quality or not? That's all that matters. There are plenty of Featured or potentially Featured artworks with toplessness in them that would be fine for the Main Page (Good example of what I mean). This file is not one of them.

    • With respect, the argument for delisting is not that it has breasts, but that it is several orders of magnitude below the quality of Rubens. Yes, Rubens has breasts, and this image has breasts, but that does not make them the same, nor does it mean that we should ignore all other aspects of this image, such as its artistic quality and educational value. The reasoning "Rubens has breasts, and is featured; this image has breasts, so it should be featured too" ignores the fact that entire books have been written about Rubens, whereas this is a non-notable image by a non-notable artist. Its only claim to fame is that it is here. And has breasts, which seem to be all some people are able to see. --JN466 20:40, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist : the art isn't very high-quality. In particular, the styles of the the foreground and background clash, the shading on the woman's face is poor, and the angles of things feel wrong. --Carnildo (talk) 22:38, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep I can't see any reason for removal, author is a well-known drawer of excellent images and the image in question has received three different awards (Commons Quality Image, Picture of the Day at en:wp, Featured Image) and is highly used both on Commons and on many Wikipedias. --Manuel Schneider(bla) (+/-) 06:29, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
It only seems to be used in Wikipedia portals, rather than being included in any articles. The uses here on Commons appear to be due to it being featured on the main page, because it's currently classed as a featured picture, and also as a quality picture - it is e.g. not used in any gallery pages. It has never been "Picture of the Day at en:wp" - I'm not sure where you got that from (possibly from the Commons Picture of the Day template, which has an English translation attached?). Mike Peel (talk) 07:40, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment It is not necessary and desired to question and commend every vote. Votings can have personal reasons and no one can be obligated to tell us his personal thoughts.

  •  Comment

    Votings can have personal reasons and no one can be obligated to tell us his personal thought.

    Strongly disagree. If X's personal thoughts are "keep, I like her big tits" and Y's personal thoughts are "delist, I'll now explain why I think this way [goes into an extensive explanation where "project rules", "quality rating" and other words of that kind are present]", X's and Y's voices are not equal and we should know that. I'm in fact astonished that here people can jump in and say "Keep" or "Delist" without any explanation. There is no such thing in my native wiki when it comes to voting, especially when something is nominated for deletion or status removal. People get reprimanded and their voices can be excluded from counting of the votes if they fail to clearly explain why they think the way they do. Ari Linn (talk) 11:29, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you disagree, but reasons for a voting pro or contra must not be given here. Beside: this is a democratic basic right. And maybe some users don't give a reason because they see how some users question and commend them in a way that displays a lack of respect and they are not in the mood to suffer that. It is notable that you tolerate delist-votes with no or not clear reason but hunting proper those who vote for keeping. --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:43, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now even more astonished to find out that when I say it may be not quite okay to vote either way without explaining any reasons it means I tolerate those who vote like me and hunt opposing views. Ari Linn (talk) 13:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The ceiling is grainy. Generally unsharp. The leg of the guitarist, the hand of the drummer and the base-box are all overexposed. Since the drummer is in the back and his face hidden that leaves a bad composition. Generally bad contrast. Bad crop on the right side. That´s all I can see wrong with this picture. And, oh, music festival pictures are hard to take, so don´t worry.--Snaevar (talk) 00:12, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose -- Sorry, but no bells ringing. Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:19, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral The shadow of the rock(s) stretching up under the fish's jaw is a huge error, in my opinion. I would have given this a solid support otherwise, but that area literally draws the eye down and away from the fish. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 13:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think the ”shadow” between the jaws of the fish is still just part of the mouth which might be visible from this angle, not supposed to be a continuum for the rock shadow. Or, I'm not sure if you just mean that there should be a little extra place for a small shadow of the rocks between the jaws. --Ximonic (talk) 18:56, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • No no, it's the dark shadow between the rocks just below its lower jawline is too dark, too distracting. I've lightened it in this reduced-size example: Imageshack. I think that looks far better, and that would get my support vote. It's just a flaw of the artist's, I believe, but nothing that can't be fixed as a derivative work : ) Note: I also changed my vote to neutral, above. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 10:15, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ah, I got your point. I think you're right, the lighter background there would highlight the head of the fish a little more. So I would definitely support that alternative too – yet I wont oppose this if is this remains as the only proposal. --Ximonic (talk) 19:38, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Example of a en:Bishōnen, German Fanart
  •  Info created by KishiShiotani on Animexx and brougth to us through a contest for free images there. I think it's of high artistic merit and also high illustrative merit, since there are not much free images to illustrate that subject. And, since there were many complaints about that on commons only pictures with manga-style girls get featured, it may be a strong reason for support that - surprise - it's a boy. - uploaded by Don-kun - nominated by Don-kun -- Don-kun (talk) 11:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose -- I really don't think this is the right place to assess a work of art, and the argument that it is just an illustration of a certain artistic style is not convincing. Using the same argument, could I make a painting "in the style" of Picasso or Rembrant (or some modern artist/school whose works are not yet free) and submit it to FPC? The only legitimate way I find to assess this work is through my personal taste. And, frankly, I don't like it at all. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:41, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
     Info Its less about style than it is about the subject it shows. Bishounen is no style, but a genre or theme which can be used. Of cause there is a certain "anime/manga"-style, but thats not really a well-defined style and this image clearly shows some of that "style"s elements. So thats different from painting an image in the style of some famous artist. --Don-kun (talk) 05:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • You read what you want but I'm becoming annoyed with the disrespect some editors express towards other people's opinions. Maybe it would be more clear if I said simply that I found the illustration kitschy and of little value, clearly not among the best Commons has to offer? --Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:58, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I understand correctly, this is just a demonstration of your belief. It's regrettable, I think. It's hard to make a "magic" painting of ... fishes, while keeping the encyclopedic value. --Citron (talk) 22:32, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Citron & Juliancolton: Yes, my vote is just a demonstration of my conviction, just like any other vote. It would indeed be regrettable if people were not allowed to express it freely, especially when it does not agree with the opinion of others. Or maybe I should have just used "Support" or "Oppose"? "Magic" is just another way of referring to the subjective component of our assessments, which makes a substancial part of people's votes here.
