The canoe is an integral part of Polynesian life. It is used as means of transport between villages or houses and in sports activities on the water.
  • Looks perfectly ok to me. In many spots the color of the light reflected on the waves is the same as the color of the reflected clouds so the patches become almost uniform in color and some may see that as 'blurry' in a photo. Light on waves can make very strange patterns sometimes. --Cart (talk) 15:00, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I voted for that photo. It has a much better composition than this one, in my opinion: Because of all the individual trees and reflections thereof, it is not static like this one, even though it's certainly a peaceful image. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Maybe I can help a bit with the understanding part: f/25 was necessary to get this depth of field, otherwise it would have been even shallower. Getting sufficient DoF is a real challenge at macro distance, which is why so many macro shots are being focus-stacked rather than single shots. But focus stacking is not an option for non-static subjects like this. --El Grafo (talk) 13:57, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand bush during the rain, Mt Oxford area, Canterbury, New Zealand
I see. I can try next time to get closer to the bushes. --Podzemnik (talk) 07:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The idea was to look from a higher point so it provides a bit of an interesting angle. --Podzemnik (talk) 07:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. It's actually beech forest, native forest to New Zealand and these trees don't grow anywhere else in the world than here. So yes, "only" woods, but New Zealand woods! :) --Podzemnik (talk) 07:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment As one who is constantly trying to capture the perfect rain photo, I know how insanely difficult it is to shoot falling rain (it always ends up looking like fog/overcast/mist to viewers). You can't get the drops visible enough if you don't have a counter light, so instead you have to go for the special light and colors that a pouring rain creates. I think this would be much better if you just went with concentrating on the light in part of the forest instead of the whole wet place. I would recommend a square(ish) crop to do this, see note. --Cart (talk) 10:35, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm could do. Though quite a few users voted to support this crop so I feel like I missed my opportunity to provide an alternative early enough so users can decide before they vote. I think I'll leave it as it is for now. But, as usuall, you inspire me to do a square format for one of my photos that are waiting to get processed. --Podzemnik (talk) 07:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it was a fallback plan in case people were iffy about this photo. Looking forward to the photo you mention. --Cart (talk) 09:41, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph of four female Hopi dancers of the Walpi Pueblo, Arizona, USA.
  • Sure looks like the texture of paper is prominent in the photo. The original was probably a glass plate. Anyway, these are four Hopi women in traditional dresses and hairdos (Google "female hopi traditional hairstyle"). Most real Star Wars nerds know that's where princess Leia's "buns" come from. :) Might be why the nominator thought this photo looked special. They are probably watching male dancers during a Hopi event or festival of some sort (yes I'm a big Tony Hillerman fan too). Will add info to the file description. --Cart (talk) 09:22, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some further digging: The hairstyle is called "squash blossom whorl", and it is the traditional hairstyle for unmarried girls in the Hopi tribe. --Cart (talk) 09:32, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It's a great composition and it's sharp and all, but having it from what looks like paper instead of from the original plate is a bit off-putting. Moved to regular support, see below. --Cart (talk) 09:56, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Ok, I was intrigued so I couldn't let this go and some further searches set things straight. It's not from a glass plate, the original is a Photogravure so the paper structure in this is totally fine. It has a great quality for a 100+-years-old such a medium. Not sure it counts as a normal "photo", perhaps our resident photo historian expert Martin Falbisoner can shed some light on this. Also found some good links about this ( [1] [2] [3] ) and added the info from them to the file description. Also 'ping' Andrew J.Kurbiko and Rhododendrites who might be interested. --Cart (talk) 17:48, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Surfers riding a wave in Paea, Tahiti.

Another gorgeous photo by Brigitte Bourger. Apparently she made a newbie-mistake and missed uploading it as part of Photographiez les Outre-mer 2019, it was just uploaded the normal way, so it never became part of the contest. Seeing so many surfers simultaneously and near each other on a wave is a rarity, even rarer to have it captured in a good photo. (It kind of makes me think about that moment in Lord of the Ring when the ford at Rivendell turns into horses. ;-) ) -- Cart (talk) 12:33, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Château Frontenac
I agree to eliminate noise on smooth surfaces but with grass its different and I tried to do it, however, I did not find a noise pattern which means that by applying a general noise reduction without a pattern you will eliminate information from image details. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:41, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I'll continue to look at this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:14, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The composition is interesting, but not enough to make up for the terrible quality. - Benh (talk) 18:01, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It’s a very nice idea but 1. the quality is not there in spite of large pixel size, you have to downscale to 25 percent (4.3 megapixels) to make it look sharp, at 100 percent it looks hopelessly overprocessed. 2. The lighting does not appeal to me, the (dominating) foreground is too cold and shady. 3. Stitching issues in the sky, there are some vertical dark stripes. As I said, the spot and idea are fine but this image is not favourable. --Kreuzschnabel 08:08, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Kreuz Stitching issues in the sky was an error due to the vignething of each photo. There is no way to remove it completely from the raw file because there is no present for this type of RAW file that allows this to be corrected non-manually. Thanks --Wilfredor (talk) 04:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think this is worthy of FP as an example of what a mobile phone (Huawei P30 Pro) can achieve in 2019. The sensor area in this camera is 20x smaller than a FF camera. I assume it is stitched and yes there is a little banding in the sky if you look closely, though we have other FPs with this problem. If I look at this 17.5MP thumb (the largest MediaWiki will generate for me without crashing out of memory) it looks quite acceptable even to pixelpeep: I can count the steps on the scaffolding. This image was in the top 10 of WLM Canada and as Ezarate notes it is certainly more than large enough to be useful. The composition is good and the view interesting. -- Colin (talk) 17:01, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow, this is a phone photo! I didn't notice that. It's certainly the best quality I've ever seen from a phone camera (although that's in large part because it's a stitched image), and it's probably the first time I've voted in favour of a phone photo at FP. But given the high resolution the quality is good enough for me. Cmao20 (talk) 23:56, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Tomer T (talk) 23:48, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not bad for a cell phone camera but I cannot oversee the resulting quality in comparison to ther candidates here. Only a few areas (mostly in the sun lit area) could be acceptable. I also think that the timing is not good and would have liked to see much more less area of the image in shadow (which would have probably improved the overall image quality) Poco a poco (talk) 11:45, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Poco; I also think the composition sabotaged itself by being so ambitious (For one thing, this is more a photo of a Quebec City cityscape dominated by the Frontenac than a photo of the Frontenac. Daniel Case (talk) 01:11, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination IMHO the photographs should be evaluated taking into account the limitations of the camera/phone censor with which it was made. I have uploaded the photograph to a maximum resolution, indirectly comments here are forcing me to downsize the image to hide noise problems like others have the usual habit of doing it on FPC with their fullframes cameras. I don't know why we have to compare a photo of a phone with a photo taken by a DSLR camera that also has a downsize applied to it. --Wilfredor (talk) 04:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

[edit]
  • Yep, the 'Alt' option is just for tweaked versions of the same photo. The hardest part about nominating an FPC is usually to select the very best photo in the batch; that is part of the job in nominating. If you are unsure of which of two (or tree) photos to select, ask someone or at COM:CRIT first. I'm not here to give you a hard time, if it was any other way, each nom would pretty soon be 2-3 versions of one scene just because the author couldn't make up their mind. It's the same for everybody. --Cart (talk) 21:20, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Sorry for my English: I meant: I wonder how that has could win (wie es gewinnen konnte). For WLM, the monument here is too less dominant, regardless of the question of the heaven. There were better pictures in the UK competition. --Milseburg (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, you were right. You wondered how that (photograph) could win, or maybe most formally correct in grammar, how it could have won or simply how it won. And das Himmel is the sky (sometimes, poetically, the Heavens, or in a religious sense, Heaven). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:32, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • How it could win is ambiguous. How it could have won is not. How it could win without reference to the WLM competition, easily means win FP here (or get promoted), due to the absence of reference to the past. Now that has become clear, thanks for the clarification -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Absolutely ridiculous. I don't pretend to speak better English than a native, and your behavio(u)r reminds me this discussion (about the meaning of the word "transport"). FP is not a competition, but it is a challenge in itself. Win: intransitive verb. You can win or lose, in a fight, you can win or lose, in a discussion, in a debate for a consensus, you can win or lose the challenge, in your FP candidature. Is that correct or not? Not equivocal for you, well, lucky Ikan, but accept it can be ambiguous (not incorrect) for others (and without being a tremendous issue) -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:20, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In German: Ich wollte sagen: Ich frage mich, wie dieses Bild den WLM-Wettbewerb gewinnen konnte (past,no subjunctive mood), da das Monument im Vergleich zur Landschaft recht wenig dominant erscheint. Für FPC ist das unerheblich. Bei FPC scheitert die Kandidatur für mich am unnatürlichen Himmel. How to say this 1:1 in English?

Because you'll have to find the dedicated software to convert it to a more accessible format. Remember Commons is a repository, that should make the files easy to use, for anyone, not only for experts. This is a friendly request, to help this nomination.

Depiction of a Dojikko (a clumsy girl, that doesn't miss a chance to make a mistake).

  •  Oppose - I'm just not that impressed with the work. Sure, I get that the photo is useful, and perhaps it would be a good VI. But the frame is inconsistent in terms of realism in a way that puts me off balance. The girl on the left right (dojikko, I guess) looks like she's ice skating while throwing a platter, and some things in the background are quite detailed and realistic, but the girls and animals are not. But mainly, it's just aesthetics - I don't love this frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually girl on the right is the Dojikko. She is not throwing the platter; she was carrying an octopus and some flowers on it. She is so clumsy that she couldn't even carry those stuffs properly. The image is portraying her as if she is going to fall. By the way, what gave you the idea that she is "ice skating"? The floor is clearly not made of ice and her boot/shoe is not for ice skating either. At least take a look at the image before voting. Masum Reza📞 13:16, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - It was obvious from my comment that I meant the girl on the right, and I also said she looks like she's ice skating, not that she's actually depicted as ice skating or that there is ice on the floor. Your approach of attacking everyone who opposes any of your nominations as if they're either idiots or didn't look at the photo is not going to convince more people to vote for your nominations. Instead, you may eventually have a fate similar to the one documented at User talk:Livioandronico2013, for creating a hostile work environment for volunteers here. I know you wouldn't even think of listening to a warning from someone who was so unforgivably stupid as to oppose one of your nominations, so just carry on the way you are and see what happens. I'm done with this discussion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:57, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: For your information, this is my first FP nomination and I am not too familiar with the process. I only nominated pictures for QI before. And no one accused me of attacking others there. Could you provide "evidence" that I attack everyone who opposes any of my nominations? Uoaei1 also opposed this nomination, I am not sure how I "attacked" them. I am happy to improve myself if you could show me which one of my comments look like attacks. That said, I have struck one of the sentences in my comments above as they might be little too harsh. Masum Reza📞 13:23, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you planning to settle in UK or what? Since when "dude" has become an insult? Now you are just talking off-topic stuff here. That undeletion discussion has nothing to do with this FPD. You could have experimented in your userpage but instead you chose to taint the Template namespace. If you want to discuss about it feel free to ask at COM:HD, COM:AN, COM:L, or at my talk page. But please stay on-topic and leave your personal grudges out of this discussion. Masum Reza📞 18:24, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Masumrezarock100: Um, you were the one who asked for "evidence" that you have attacked others. Everything I said was related to a comment already made by someone else. And don't you worry about the discussion being "tainted" by "personal grudges", as I have no grudge against anyone here. I have included my reasons for opposing in my above comment. Also, I don't like how the girl on the left is partially cut out of the frame. Don't get so worked up every time someone opposes your nomination; FP nominations fail all the time, and this is only your first time nominating here, anyway. Also, no, I do not plan to settle in the UK, as I am quite happy with my life here in the States. And of course I couldn't have known that I was "tainting" the template namespace; I thought I was helping out by making a standardized version of an allowed template. But that's certainly enough talking about the other matters which you brought up; now back to the image. For starters, if there was a version of the image that included all of the girl on the left, the nomination would certainly have better chances. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't see anything special in this image. — Draceane talkcontrib. 21:08, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Draceane. I surely miss a point but still fail to see anything special here, it looks like some random screenshot of an animated movie to me. What’s the educational use of this fictional scene? --Kreuzschnabel 08:15, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  weak support I'm going to give it my support. The proportions are wrong, and really look like drawn by a child. But anyone who tries a bit of vector drawing will realise there's an amount of work behind this. And the result is not that bad (proportions aside, again). Rather this than a boring ceiling. - Benh (talk) 18:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 23:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose First of all, I agree that there's plenty educational value in this. The Wikimedia projects are are about so much more than flowers and churches. Anime and Manga are just as much a part of todays society as watching tennis on TV. They have their own terms for different styles, techniques, tropes that need explanation and illustration just like Football terminology does (or doesn't, depending on personal interests). And as far as I (as somebody who has not much insight into the scene) can tell, this drawing is doing a pretty decent job at distilling the essence of what makes a Dojikko character. That's a pro at VI as "best in scope".
So why am I still opposing? Well, the background looks very good and I can't see much being wrong about the girl on the left, but the main subject has some major issues that prevent me from considering it "top notch". 1) as pointed out above, the proportions are just wrong, the head does not fit the body. Cartoon/comic/manga proportions are of course different from real-life proportions, but they still follow some rules. 2) Despite it being an action scene, the whole thing looks extremely static, almost frozen. Maybe it's the complete absence of speed lines, maybe the pose is not exaggerated enough, but in any case it looks anything but dynamic to me. --El Grafo (talk) 10:35, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Boy in Dar ul-Ihsan Mosque
  • Normal Commons requirements aside, this photo was uploaded as part of Wiki Loves Monuments 2018 in Iran. As such, it has been scrutinized by the WLM Iran organizers. If there was anything inappropriate about it, I think the Iranians would have acted in some way. --Cart (talk) 15:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
More than it needs. Daniel Case (talk) 06:51, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looking at other photos from this mosque, there seems to be a balcony or something like that inside the mosque, since some photos are taken from a higher level. This is taken when the mosque is empty and dark, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that this photo is cleverly staged. You arrange to have access to the place "after hours"; you bring a boy (perhaps from your family) and a book. You seat the kid with the book, and position a friend with a photo spotlight up at the balcony to aim the light the right way at the book, and then you take the photo. Am I the only one here who is used to working on staged photo shoots with models? A rather normal photo crew consist of the photographer, a model, a technician, a handler for the model and props plus a gofer for miscellaneous. This is a semi-professional photographer, used to creating photos rather that just snap what he can find. --Cart (talk) 21:32, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Johann Moritz Rugendas in Brazil
It was the original name in the museum, and unsharp area is lack of DoF --Wilfredor (talk) 23:02, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What was the original name? Are you saying the museum called a lithograph a painting? I don't get it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:01, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are ways to paint on a lithograph and I think this was what the museum was trying to explain when placing this description. First of all we must understand that the term we use today as "lithography" is a connotation of the literal term that refers to engraving an original work in another material through the use of plates or molds developing a reciprocal diversion between lipophilic and hydrophilic substances. Method invented by the German, Aloys Senefelder. But like everything in this bizarre world we change or distort the intention. Today a lithograph is the replica of an original work printed on its variable presentations. Like the different items or products we use every day, to name a few, shoes, transport or houses. Pictorial art has suffered the benefits and cons of serial production. A work, commonly called "box" is the result of artistic work in its different techniques; oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, wax, pastel, ink, charcoal, etc ... until you get to mixed media, mixing of various components or techniques. To be able to differentiate a work from a "lithography", or graphic printing, lies in meticulously observing the pigments and looking for whether the piece contains print marks, squares that we can detect synonymous with a digitally produced work. Another feature of graphic prints is that it has a commonly white frame and bears the name of the artist digitally printed. Another feature of lithographs is the use of glass or mica on prints. On the other hand an original work, you will usually find it in a gallery or a museum. Same that are collected in restaurants, hotels, offices and residences. We can observe in detail the brushstrokes of the author, seeing a slight texture or wavy, traces of which there was a stroke of a brush, or spatula. A characteristic point that stands out is the signature of the artist, as this is almost always done after the sealant is applied to the work, therefore the signature stands out. It is also worth mentioning that today there are very efficient printing methods that result in a lithography with texture similar to that of an original work, but you can still recognize digital printing features. I hope this explanation helps to understand why it is like this in the description --Wilfredor (talk) 14:01, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I appreciate the discourse on art history and methods, but what I really wanted to know is that it's a replica of a painting. That's the key point to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:34, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The standard export-to-Photoshop and return to Lightroom should not remove any metadata. How are you doing this step? And how do you save the file in Photoshop?

It is relatively common for churches of this kind to be built in an asymmetrical fashion, you can see a much more noticeable example in this FP. Cmao20 (talk) 21:29, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also note that there is one more row of benches on the left side: first row on the left is much closer to the altar than the first row on the right. (And yes: it does feel a bit weird.) --El Grafo (talk) 12:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Claus-Christian Carbon in 3D
  • Ikan, if you look at the file page and scroll down a bit, you see that it's a stereogram and how such images should be viewed. C.Suthorn should pehaps have written this in the nom info since such photos are quite rare here and people don't always read the whole file page before commenting. --Cart (talk) 17:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I added the info in the nomination. From the edit windows I can see that this ended up in CSS class wpImageAnnotatorFile and is shown as an alt tag/text on the nomination. Not very visible me thinks... --C.Suthorn (talk) 17:35, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ikan and others, there is a way you can see this photo in 3D without special glasses. Pull up the photo on your phone and hold the phone so that it fills the screen. Hold you hand flat, fingers straight up, right between the two parts of the photo so it acts like a "wall" between them. Then look at the photo so close that your thumb touches your nose, that way you will only use one eye for each part of the picture, and it comes out in 3D. --Cart (talk) 21:45, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is not some newfangled "trick photography", stereoscopy is an old and established method of creating 3D photos. View-Masters was something most kids had way back when (I loved mine). We need special programs to properly view 360-panoramas or they look really weird as ordinary photos; this is a similar thing where you need something extra to appreciate the photo properly. The panos are promoted regularly so I don't understand the adverse reactions to this. --Cart (talk) 10:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's because there's a comfortable way to view them. This site needs a tool for fairly judging a stereoscopic photo. But without one, I can't judge this photo. You've reminded me: I looked through a view-master, too, when I was a kid. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are two types of steroscopic pictures: those for cross-eyed and those for wall-eyed vision. So if you choose the wrong sight (as you did by crossing your eyes), the depth of the background is inverted and disturbing. Therefore many stereos are signed with 'X' for cross- and '||' for wall-eyed vision. Here it is for wall-eyed vision, witch is unfortunately limited by the distance of your eyes. So if two conjugated points in the two picures are more distant than the distance of your eyes, you have to be Marty Feldmann to see it in 3D (or downsize the picture). Basically X-pictures like this or that, where you have to squint are more easyly to see and can be looked at over a wide scale of magnification. --PtrQs (talk) 01:23, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question I don't get it – what's the point besides "it's 3D"? I mean, when somebody nominates a 360° spherical panorama, it's typically of a place that fore some reason lends itself to be shot in such a way. So what's the reason of choosing this person in the foreground, what does it/he have to do with La Gioconda and why are there two versions of the painting in the background? --El Grafo (talk) 09:21, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@El Grafo: did you get the point now? --C.Suthorn (talk) 18:20, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@C.Suthorn: makes a lot of sense now, but that really needs to be part of the file description. This knowledge is essential for understanding the picture, it's the difference between "wtf?" and "this is genius!" … --El Grafo (talk) 09:00, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment To me, the size of the texts are strange and not good layout. I would like to easily see what the different layer are, even at smaller image size, instead the less important text "All layers shown are proportional" (should suffice to say "Layers are proportional") is screaming at me. That text should be in the font size of the 'layer text' and the layer info in bigger font size. Also a bit too close crop on the left side. --Cart (talk) 10:29, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I'm finding the eggshell layers quite hard to visualise especially in the smaller thumb vs full browser. I think you haven't quite got the lighting to look realistic. The inner layers seem to be lit from below with a darker upper-two-thirds. But the outer layer has a strange dark stripe and is darker towards the top/bottom. The second layer on the right has an odd glare spot on it. The inner layer flat cut surface is oddly dark at the top and bottom, when I'd expect that fairly equally lit. The Solid anticrust looks quite different on the left to the right. The very thin white lines from the text to the subject are a bit randomly placed and vary in how close they go to the text or the subject. It isn't clear to me why the right is more exploded than the left, or why this method of looking at layers is helpful vs a more traditional cut like File:Saturn diagram.svg. This style seems to over-play the idea you can neatly separate the layers. I'm a bit confused why the thumnail shows a san-serif font but when I view the whole thing in Firefox, it is a serif font. Also the thumb's left rocky mantel is shown with a uniform yellow-brown vs a much darker brown in the full size on Firefox. -- Colin (talk) 17:43, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Neutral This might be a mere matter of taste so I don’t give an oppose for that – I just would love to see more to the left side (where the riverbed leads to). So shortly, the framing is too tight for me. This composition suggests the bridge being the main subject, exactly in the thirds, but then there’s too little visible of it. --Kreuzschnabel 14:28, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Protests opposing Bolivarian Revolution in São Paulo, Brazil
  •  Comment There aren’t many ways to miscompose a frontal shot of a lined-up group of ppl. They could have agreed before if the red or the yellow is the top side :) On the other hand, there are numerous stitching flaws, some of them deforming people. Not the best idea to take a multi-shot panoramic of a non-still subject. --Kreuzschnabel 14:23, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think that this photo is very important for me because of the greatest diaspora of Venezuelans and that there has been in any country in Latin America and in the world, surpassed only by Syria. However, I think that I will not have the time to correct this week the stitching errors. --Wilfredor (talk) 15:41, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Caribbean hermit crab (coenobita clypeatus) in the Dry Tortugas
 Comment I personally find the simple composition with just the leaves (which I wouldn't expect as background for a hermit crab), the white shell and the red body quite nice, but that's of course just a matter of taste. And I have to admit that I'm not very experienced with either wildlife or closeup photography. --Domob (talk) 05:55, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Maybe about 10cm including the shell and excluding the antennas (as in the picture). Certainly not a real "macro" shot (if that is what you are interested in). --Domob (talk) 09:54, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you.  Weak oppose - I didn't really think this was a small hermit crab, but I thought I'd check. Looking at it at about life size (120% of full screen on my 13-inch laptop), it's not outstandingly sharp, so my feeling is that this is a good photo (and I think the composition is fine) but not a really outstanding one, considering the kinds of wildlife photos we feature, nowadays. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:30, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose With the cut bush, a part seems missing at the right. Just a nice image, but not really spectacular in my view, and in any case inferior to the one above. Actually I quite like the first version (will move to weak support if necessary), especially the highest mountains. The problem is the bush. I think you could have arranged the composition within the frame better, for example by putting this bush more to the right, and your camera higher with you climbing to the left, to get a better balance and a more satisfying harmony of the several elements composing the image -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vector map of Corsica in French
@Ikan Kekek: Thanks. I am glad that I managed to achieve the state of comprehensive maps thanks to yours and other comments in the previous nomination :) I will add missing names on rivers. --Ikonact (talk) 10:12, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wilfredor: you are right, the maps are generated by computer but it is far from "automatic". I coded the software to generate the maps, I gathered and processed various data sources and spent hours to finalise the map and put the names and symbols in place. But what makes this map special? Nothing really. I liked this one out of all those I created because it looks nice and has a lot of details.--Ikonact (talk) 20:56, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kreuzschnabel: This map is not really like all maps in Category:Topographic_maps. This map is fully vector and respects Wikipedia map conventions. There are few maps like this. --Ikonact (talk) 20:56, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Kreuzschnabel, further to Ikonact's response: There is a great variety of maps in that category. Many are not featurable on account of size or lack of detail. Which others do you think we'd be obligated to feature if we feature this one? And to all the opposers: What do you find lacking in this map that makes it not excellent? As a long-time geography buff who used to collect the best atlases I could find, I appreciate this as an excellent map of its subject, the entire island of Corsica. It's certainly possible to have more detail: I've seen maps that show every house and had maps like that in the 1970s. But choices have to be made about the scale you will use and the level of detail that can be reasonably and clearly covered at that scale. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:12, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 16:54, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. The maps physical layers of topography, barymetry and shades are vectorial, which is by itself a feast. The map follows wikipedia maps conventions (best practices) : our topographic maps convention, exchange-road maps conventions, map icons toolbox. Human layers are properly fetched from OSM or other sources, while time consuming hand-made corrections have very likely been done to avoid labels collisions. Legend is properly done, coordinates and North are defined via the grid system which is the most accurate approach. The whole file is made of well organized 22 vector layers, easy to reuse in and outside Wikipedia, and easy to translate. The file size could be reduced via path simplifications, but with 13MB, we are at a very acceptable and workable file size. The whole map (end result) and technique used (process) is a feast. Cheer up to Ikonact, we need more maps of such quality. Yug (talk) 22:11, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Bathymetry contours (and probably even rivers, but not so clearly visible, I think only bathymetry is problematic) are made by polygonal chain, not by spline (they are natural features, they dont have straight line segments divided by angles, so they need to be represented in other way). Some labelling placed wrongly (for example Linguizetta, Grosseto, Sarténe) and generally, labeling could be better readable if it would have some character framing. Symbol for mountain pass seems to me too long and it is placed little bit wrongly in some cases (Col de Verde, Col de Vizzavona). All of these are fixable I hope and otherwise it could be featured picture in my perspective. --Grtek (talk) 15:30, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Grtek: Thanks for the comments. I tried to address them in a new version of the map. --Ikonact (talk) 23:17, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment - That's a clear improvement. I still think there's room for a few more rivers to be labeled. One small detail: Col. de Vergio is not clearly labeled now, because the red road overlaps one side of the now-smaller mountain pass symbol. I'm not sure what you should do about that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:23, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Better now. But I still think that some character framing in labels could be improvement. And you changed col symbol in map but not in legend. And I would move legend frame little bit up, so space from bottom and right map edge would be the same. And move hypsometry legend little bit left so left edge of scale frame would "continue" as left edge of hypsometry legend. And then (maybe) move hypsometry legend little bit up so space between left map edge and scale frame would be the same. And last thing that I see now – unit label in scale is usually placed after highest number in scale. So after number 20, not between numbers. But yours non-standard solution doesnt bother me so much.--Grtek (talk) 09:31, 12 December 2019 (UTC) Supplemented --Grtek (talk) 09:57, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tourist lady in Jameh Mosque of Isfahan
  • Thanks, that's better, move to  Support. For the exif, you can take one of the photos and add this as a top layer to it and merge into one. I know it will not cover all three shots, but it will be close enough and better that no exif. --Cart (talk) 17:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not so worried about the EXIF data for camera lens, exposure, etc (though it is nice to add that detail for a complex shot to the description). You may have lost the colour profile when doing the HDR so may have to assign one again (e.g. sRGB) and don't use Photoshop's 'save for web' but instead use the save option that preserves exif. That way the image has a colour profile and we all see the same colours. Btw, it is a shame the lady's primary colours are not so vivid in the new version. Perhaps that is realistic, though -- you can judge from your individual exposures. What are you using for HDR? --Colin (talk) 17:48, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • How do you know the white balance is correct in a golden hour or sunset photo? Light is always subjective to the mood in the photo. Anyway, there are white details (albeight a bit yellowed with age) in both light and shadow in this photo (electrical wire and landline phone detalis) and things seems to be very "accurate" in this case. --Cart (talk) 09:26, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
King of In the image metadata show "White balance: Auto white balance". From my point of view, the camera found everything very golden or yellow due to the golden moment and I try to correct it by adding too much blue to the image. Cart, relativist fallacy is useful for anything, which means that it does not serve to explain anything in specific. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:12, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not really sure where you are going with that comment. I mentioned the white objects since they can be used to check the WB. Seeing "white balance: Auto white balance" in the meta doesn't mean anything since it can be altered in post editing. Btw, check out the other photos in the category, Flickr and the article Chefchaouen about these blue houses. There seems to be a global conspiracy about wrong WB for these houses, or else they really are very blue. ;-) --Cart (talk) 14:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Cart you've convinced me --Wilfredor (talk) 15:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I'm confused. Chefchaouen is known as the "Blue City". Does it bother you that you're looking at blue, or are you unconvinced the blue is real? I guess if you don't like looking at this much blue, it's a matter of taste, but if you look through Category:Chefchaouen, you sure will see a lot of blue. It's real, alright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:10, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment It doesn't look real to me on the picture, but I well believe you it may be true. However, even in that case, the blue tone doesn't appeal to me, so that this may be a VI or QI but not FP (for my taste). --Domob (talk) 17:49, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Morning at Tham Sakoen
  • I'm not 100% certain I have solved this problem as when I viewed it at full size I'm afraid I couldn't see huge numbers of dust spots. I saw a few darker smudges caused by dirt on the lens, but not a massive number of obvious spots. That said I think the problem is sorted, so @Ikan Kekek: , @Charlesjsharp: , @Wilfredor: , could you take a look and see whether it is any better? If not, I would appreciate a more specific note about where you can still see dust spots. Cmao20 (talk) 23:15, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It took me three minutes, but I've finally found something that could be (maybe? maybe not) a very tiny dust spot (almost invisible). Good luck, Cmao20 :-) Almost all paintings in every museum also contain some very small bristles of the brush, lost and mixed with the painting. Some even say these bristles belong to the beard of the famous masters. When I was young, it was a challenge to chase them, by sticking my eyes very close to the canvas, but I'm not sure the guards would have let me remove them -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:23, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ngurrungurrudjba (Yellow Water) in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia
  • Just two answers: First, the trees. The tree trunks are very bright, nearly without a dark bark - like a lot of trees in Australia. It was early in the morning and the sunlight is on the trees too. So I can't see an overexposed trunk. Sorry. Second, the sharpness. Yes, the photo was made without tripod. Yes, it was made sitting on a small (and swaying) boat. So 1/125 s may be a little bit long. Looking at pixel level there may be a quantum of blur. I've seen this starting with a 30 mpx camera. It's the limit of what affordable lenses can do. And additionally I used other sharpness parameters with Adobe Lightroom. I can improve this sharpness, but IMO it's not really an issue. --XRay talk 09:35, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry to say, but if more people felt like you, FPC would be even deader - from an artistic / truly photographic point of view - than it already is (I've always wanted to use this comparative ).

Just my two cents. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:54, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  weak oppose I'm a strong advocate for more B&W photographs at FPC, but in this case I feel that neither is B&W a good choice for this subject nor is this subject a good choice for a strong B&W photograph. B&W emphasizes form and texture, but neither of these aspects are very strong in this scene to begin with. Or maybe it's just a matter of how the conversion was done: The color version has some contrasting colors (red bricks vs. green-ish road). By adjusting the color channels accordingly during conversion, maybe that could be utilized to separate the road more from the houses. That's one of the big advantages of digital B&W photography: You don't have to choose your emulsion and color filters in advance to get the desired effect. --El Grafo (talk) 09:08, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thank you El Grafo, for taking the time suggesting how this photo could be improved. Maybe I could have enhanced the contrast between the various elements, e.g. between the ground and the building, by adjusting the relative contribution of each colour channel. The few experiments I did convinced me that the overall effects would be minimal unless "brute force" were used. That is precisely what I don't want to do because such approach would have ruined what I like more in this interpretation: the mood and the delicate local contrasts and structure. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:54, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Alvesgaspar: fair enough! That's another thing I enjoy about B&W, regardless of whether we're talking about digital or old school analog darkroom printing: when it comes to forming the final image it leaves a lot of room for interpretation. And speaking of printing, I've got a feeling that this interpretation might work very well as a large (A1+) print (although the soft foreground may turn out to be a bit of a problem then). And apologies for not mentioning this last time: I really like the scene and composition – I'm just not blown away by it. Changing my vote to a "weak oppose" to better reflect how I feel about this. --El Grafo (talk) 09:44, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis)
  • Of course it wasn't. Please check satellite view on Google Maps, not map view. In the dry season, the river is lower and I've tried to estimate where we were. And all images (apart from 'emergency landing') were taken from a stationary vehicle. That's the point of the story I tell. Charles (talk) 21:32, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The satellite view shows it on an island, probably caused by low water level at the timepoint of satellite shot. I doubt it's the precise location, even an estimate may be more plausible. --A.Savin 11:44, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just a little general point - not relevant here. It is often unwise for wildlife photopgraphers to reveal exact locations. Some examples: collectors can target rare butterfly species; birds nesting; frog/dragonfly-rich ponds. Charles (talk) 09:57, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I strongly disagree Alexander . A geotag that is approximate - say within 300m, for a sensitive wildlife site like an eagle's nest is perfect. And geotags are needed on Commons for VI. Also, think about it: Say I am being guided around all day in an unmapped forest in Madagascar. The guide has never seen a map and has no idea where we are. I know, I often ask. There's no phone signal. And, even if I wanted to, I would not be able to specifiy exactly where each image was taken. All images that day will have the same geotag. Charles (talk) 12:12, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some Canon EOS have built-in GPS, for the others an external one is available AFAIK. For other manufacturers, a Bluetooth-connected smartphone can be used (this is what I use). Not always accurate data, but still. If this info was helpful, you're welcome. --A.Savin 12:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you go on travel, you usually need a phone anyway. Not sure if you're really unaware of possibilities such as purchasing a local SIM card or an international one. But that's only a side note and I'm not discussing this; I just tried to explain how to get accurate GPS data even in remote areas. If it's helpful for your future trips, you're welcome; if not... well, you're welcome too. --A.Savin 19:36, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just to potentially clear up a common misconception: If your only concern is tracking your position (as opposed to using that position to navigate), GPS itself does not require a data or phone connection (also true for other GNSS including Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou). There are plenty GNSS (GPS) logger apps out there that just silently track your position in a GPX file. When you're back at home, you can overlay that track on GoogleEarth or similar and see where you went. The only thing that GoogleMaps needs needs a data connection are the maps and satellite images. But if you have a rough idea about where you're going, GoogleMaps also allows you to download map and satellite data in advance (e.g. over the hotel's WiFi) and use that for navigation. And if you are in an area with good OSM coverage (likely not the case in Nepal), something like Osmand with offline maps may be much more helpful than anything Google could deliver. --El Grafo (talk) 13:25, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • What you are reading as "dust spots" is simply lots of small stuff that is always floating around under water. Some get in focus and some get out of focus and they do resemble normal dust spots. You may have been a bit spolied by my marine photos, taken in clean nature reserves and also with the debris cleaned up by me. A more normal underwater "soup" usually looks like this. --Cart (talk) 15:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm curious, how do you know it's a dust spot and not some small specks of debris clinging to the outside of the lens shielding? In this case, with all the debris in the water, I think it's ridiculous to dump a great photo because of perceived "dust spots". --Cart (talk) 16:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Charles, this image, like a lot of underwater photos is taken with a fisheye lens (Peleng 8mm f/3.5). The aperture is unrecorded (lens has no contacts) but at most apertures the DoF on a fisheye is somewhat infinite and will record motes of dust/debris with hard edges. You are more used to telephoto lenses with shallow DoF. I can only find one other picture that seemed to have been taken on the same dive (this) and hard to tell, but I don't see dust spots on that. Whether folk might want them removed for aesthetic reasons is one matter, but it is not straightforward to assume their origin. -- Colin (talk) 08:43, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - If those are dust spots, they should be removed, but Cart's explanations seem clearly plausible to me - I have no expertise on this, she does, and her remarks ring true. As for the "chromatic aberration", I think that's simply a function of the water functioning like a prism when the light streams through it at a particular angle. And the image is certainly compelling, as others have stated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan Kekek, not trying to change your support vote, but I think the purple CA is just bog standard lens-caused CA, which shows up on high-contrast ends towards the edge of the frame. I have a fisheye lens and CA can be a problem in the corners, and my Samyang is a better lens than this Peleng. -- Colin (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If it is, it should be corrected. W.Strickling, would you like to comment on this or the possible dust spots? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:07, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sindh Monument at Chaukhandi, Pakistan.The Chaukhandi tombs form an early Islamic cemetery. Chakuandi, Sindh, Pakistan.The style of architecture is typical to the region of Sindh. Generally, the tombs are attributed to the Jokhio and known as the family graveyard of the Jokhio tribe, although other, mainly Baloch, tribes have also been buried here. They were mainly built during Mughal rule sometime in the 15th and 18th centuries when Islam became dominant.
Didn't notice the cloning issues on the step initially... --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:39, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tempered  Support - I'm a little bothered by the overexposure of the step, but the rest is good enough. I wish we could get the photographer to dial down the brightness of that step. Also, it was built "sometime in the 15th and 18th centuries"? I see the same language in w:Chaukhandi tombs, but I don't know what it means. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:15, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Poor sharpness and overprocessed -- sharpening haloes at edges, extensively softened clouds, big parts of the structure is too soft. Plus too generous crop at the bottom which is blurred, despite rather tight crop at the top. --A.Savin 02:08, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:58, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I am also bothered by the overexposed parts, but unlike Ikan, I don't think that the rest is good enough. "Good enough" is not an expression I'd use for an FP candidate, there should be much more than that. On the good side, I'll mention the composition, which I think is very good.--Peulle (talk) 08:21, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Peulle. Excellent mood and composition but the technical quality makes it a no-go for me. Worst part is the bluntly done selection and/or cloning (it’s obviously cloned, multiple repetitive texture) on the stone block on the ground, but the strong sharpening haloes around all edges don’t help either. I do hope there’s a RAW file of this so it may be redone carefully. This here result has been so poorly processed that it’s far below FP standards for me. --Kreuzschnabel 10:09, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I see what people are saying about the overprocessing and unpleasant effects on the sharpness of the building at full size, and I think it's quite legitimate to look at this kind of picture at full size, so I've crossed out my previous supporting vote. I just really like this tomb and would like to support a photo of it. As for "good enough", I'm sure every one of us has voted for pictures we saw as imperfect, because of our overall appraisal of them. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others. Daniel Case (talk) 03:08, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The JPG version is easy to use, but the PNG version is bigger. I think both are useful. (It is impossible to save file as JPG with maximum resolution) --Paris 16 (talk) 15:38, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we usually feature one version and link to the other(s), since FPs of two versions of the exact same image is against the FPC rules. See #4 in COM:FPC#Featuring and delisting rules: "Two different versions of the same picture cannot both be featured." You need to select which one you want to nominate, png or jpg. Come to think of it, I wonder if that might also apply to all the small images here as well. They are essentially crops of the big image, and crops of FPs are not FP since this assessment is not 'inherited' by the partial image. --Cart (talk) 15:52, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Well, still lucky to get such a good expression, although certainly massively easier than getting it in the wild! I don't mind zoo shots but you're quite entitled to oppose for that reason. Cmao20 (talk) 00:07, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The enwiki article is presently not so great. There hasnt been a real wild white tiger seen in the wild in some decades iirc. But yeah life is harder for them in the wild, to the point that they, well, don't exist in the wild. So yes like an extreme version of dog breeding (most white tigers around now are believed to be from a single lineage, in fact, with immediate relatives bred together...). — Rhododendrites talk07:18, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  1. My picture is for free, not for sell. Not made for dollars. I bought my camera with my own money, and now release this image on Wikimedia Commons without retribution. Anyone can use the free licence for any purpose. You can even send a Christmas card with my tiger if you want . Or you can illustrate an article about animal coat, breeding, roar (vocalization), etc. Your creations won't bring me money.
  2. - I think the Wikipedia article is better than the ABC News article you link, because it is free (based on volunteering), with a neutral point of view, and existing in more than 31 languages (English, French, Hungarian, Hindi, etc.) On the contrary, there are many adds to Facebook on the page you publish here, and it is certainly written and illustrated in a sensational way, so that everybody share it on the social networks, to make millions of dollars to ABC News and billions of dollars to Facebook. By the way, this is totally schizophrenic, because when you click on one of these Facebook links, you discover the same ABC News site previously published this article displaying a picture of two adorable young white tigers in front, and encouraging to "boost the gene pool in its breeding population" For the article White tiger of Wikipedia, it can be improved, and illustrated accurately with various sources and all the available images. But as long as the white tigers exist in the world (and in the wild at the beginning), I think we should feel free to illustrate the animal accurately. This specimen here shown on the image is a descendant of Mohan.
  3. - The Zoo of Singapore, where the tiger comes from, honestly mentions the origin of its specimens: "When Mohan went on to mate with a female from this litter, they produced four white cubs. This started the breeding of white tigers under human care." Now the question about "human care" and ethics in such cases, like dog breeding, is another debate, in my opinion. We are photographers, not the WWF committee.
  4. - Your article says it is "a barbaric practice for beauty". We could consider the same for this girl, and all the Kayan females in Myanmar. Although this is a Featured Picture -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:05, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think I understand the context for all of these. My oppose isn't about you or your ability (as I said, the technical quality is good, and I suspect you know by now that I have a lot of respect for your work). I'm also not suggesting the ABC article is better (or worse) than Wikipedia. It was just the first relevant source I spotted. The girl with neck rings suggests a conversation about ethics/morality in the context of FPC more broadly, and I don't really want to get into that here. I just found myself uncomfortable featuring a white tiger without there being something truly exceptional about the image. — Rhododendrites talk04:24, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree it should be considered as a Bengal tiger before being a White one. Thus I've added a direct link to the species in the description. Hopefully this beautiful specimen will mate / be crossed with a yellow one in the future and in the wild, to produce 200% healthy cubs 😺😺😺.
Your link gave me the impression that this image should not be promoted because the existence of the animal is objectionable on an ethics aspect (but like the neck rings of the Karen girl in Myanmar, or like the ABC News articles, in my view). Now I understand you find the image rather ordinary, and I respect your opinion. Thanks for your contribution -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:10, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque (isfahan, iran)

* Oppose The title of photo is misleading, Muslim praying is not like this, to me it seems like a tourist looking up at the window. In a previous nomination, the photo had a wrong title, and I brought it up to uploader's attention and he agreed, but failed to rename the file and correct the info. --Gnosis (talk) 19:44, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Gnosis: I think you're right. what's the nearest name to this picture? what do you think? a tourist looks at the light is good? a tourist can be christian or Buddhist and can pray as their own way. some religion believes you can pray god in every temple or mosque or church.--Amirpashaei (talk) 20:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Amirpashaei: What you assume about praying is not a fact, how do you know she is not an atheist?

  •  Comment - I'd be inclined to support when it's properly renamed, but I'd feel happier if the brightest highlights, which look quite blown to me, are dialed back a bit. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please please, a thousand times, please do not "dial back" the "brightest highlights". Direct or reflected specular light like this should be as bright as we can render in JPG, and not reduced by a slider to paper white. However, the white parts in the centre and above the woman's head do not look pleasing. Is there damage to the tiles, or is that just a bright light reflection? If the latter, and you are using HDR, then perhaps this could be handled better with nicer transition to bright -- here it just looks like someone splatted white paint onto the photo. But perhaps it can't be fixed because the camera has simply caught a bad reflection angle, and maybe a slightly different position would have avoided this harsh reflection? -- Colin (talk) 09:03, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Colin: , @Ikan Kekek: , I took 5 shut with 5 different levels of exposure. but because of reflecting light directly to the lens, unfortunately there is not any details can recover them.--Amirpashaei (talk) 13:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question - So to pursue this a bit: Per Colin's question: Is there damage to the tiles or is that just a bright light reflection? Is that what you answered above? To clarify: that's what's preventing me from supporting this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Agree about the name. I suggest something like "File:A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" or "File:A visitor in Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" (suggested by El Grafo). @Amirpashaei: If you agree to "File:A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" (or "File:A visitor in Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg", I personally prefer the first one because it also has the word "lady" and therefore is more specific), I can rename the file upon your request once the nomination is over.

Tehran in a clean day
I'm not sure that lack of FoP is a consideration when you've photographed hundreds of buildings in a single shot; that's more of a collage. As for privacy, I understand the consideration, but I don't see any real issues there. Daniel Case (talk) 16:11, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I don't think it's unnatural; I just think the light wasn't so good for the picture, and that you might want to try again in different light.

Tannery workers in Morocco
  •  Question - When you say "attractive", do you think an ugly scene that's a good composition can be an FP? I don't think this scene is beautiful, but I think it's interesting and well composed, and I'm wondering whether you oppose based on a mere lack of beauty or a disagreement with the composition. Aesthetics are very personal, so whichever reason you have is legitimate, but I happen not to think beauty is essential in an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't say it's an unattractive (or ugly) scene; It's an unattractive composition. I don't like the POV; there is no symmetry to the sight lines; perspective distortion; there are no faces visible; all the vats are truncated (we see neither the whole area, nor a featured area; croped figure top right; the light reflected on a water in the vats is offputting.

Stereoscope with stereo cards
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects
  •  Info The stereogram of a stereoscope with three stereo cards creates seen through a stereoscope or VR goggles a superb sensation of submersion in reality. -- created by C.Suthorn - uploaded by C.Suthorn - nominated by C.Suthorn -- C.Suthorn (talk) 22:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- C.Suthorn (talk) 22:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose While it’s a witty idea, the resulting picture is below excellence IMHO. Contrast too harsh, visible artifacts. Most of the subject is unsharp, making high resolution pointless. Try focus stacking. --Kreuzschnabel 07:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment the image is meant to be viewed with a stereoscope, or today actually VR goggles. This are available with resolutions of max. 4K. This image viewed in this way gives a better feeling of "real world" than many other 3D images I have seen. While I have no prove for it, I assume, that a contributing factor is, that the downscaling from its original resolution is done by the device used with the goggles (and is different with the device being UHD, QHD, FHD, HDR and 16:9, 18:9, 20:9 or any other individual properties). For me this image has the special "wow" factor, that is asked for in FP, and that to me many but far from all FPs have. --C.Suthorn (talk) 13:32, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose using flat objects such as paper is perhaps the worst type of object to use to demonstrate depth in such an image. Unexplained crop, angle, choice of photos and low exposure. Whilst a meta concept, it's not FP worthy compared to other stereo images uploaded.--BevinKacon (talk) 16:38, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Question You speak about "concept" and it sounds as if you are judging a textual description of the image, no word about what your sensation was, when you saw the 3D image through a stereo device. As I wrote above, this image has to me an appeal, that only a few other 3D images (from commons or oher sources) have. --C.Suthorn (talk) 18:35, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I appreciate the clever idea and bringing something unusual to FPC. I think there is an inevitable issue, though, based on your responses above: I don't think it's safe to assume more than one or two reviewers (if that) will be looking at this through a stereoscopic device. Even for someone like me who has a Google Cardboard somewhere, maybe I'm lazy but digging it out, remembering how to set it up, finding a gallery app, downloading an image, and putting it on just doesn't seem like a practical step in the FPC review process. Perhaps if someone were a regular user of such devices, it would be natural, but for most people this will be evaluated as this photo pair, according to typical standards for FPC. And per those standards, one of the main elements is the stereogram in the device, which along with the back of the device is quite soft. I think for someone like me an interesting 3d image starts with some wow factor and educational value built in, but the technical bits need to be there, too. — Rhododendrites talk14:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - If only someone could create a stereoscopic viewing program for this site that's easily clickable like the 3D panorama viewing program, we'd be able to give a fair review of stereoscopic images. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:36, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Most of the difference is from the background, which is now open for discussion. I'll be interested to read the explanation for how the backgrounds are so different. And on your other point: So, if someone takes 10 different photos of the same motif that are very slightly different, you really think all 10 should be FPs? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:06, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does that mean you moved the nut to another location to get another background? Because comparing the photos, it is the same nut in both photos; same 'hairs', same little damage to one nut and even the same little spider web in the nut. --Cart (talk) 07:03, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Carrion crow - Corvus corone
  • It is always frustrating when you see or experience something exceptional, but it just doesn't come out that way in a photo. Your brain is re-living that special moment when you see the photo, unfortunately it is hidden for the rest of us. Then again, you can happen to snap a meh-moment and it turns out to be a great photo by accident. Photography is the art where we often surprise ourselves, for better or worse. --Cart (talk) 18:48, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aptenodytes patagonicus
  • How do you mean? I'd argue it does to some extent. This is a 40mpx image that isn't quite perfect at full-res, but I could easily downsize it to a 20mpx image that has excellent sharpness and almost no noise. The big 40mpx file doesn't look as good as the 20mpx downsample at full-res, but that isn't a fair comparison. Cmao20 (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
