  • I've read that it can kill other fishes and even themselves but if you ask me about the impact on humans, I cannot tell you. This fish is in the menu of countries like Singapore and I've read concerns about that (in the case the toxin is generated just prior to the dwath of the fish) but I've no details.

  •  Info During the mating season, Greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) always express the above photographed courtship display. Created by Giles Laurent - uploaded by Giles Laurent - nominated by Giles Laurent -- Giles Laurent (talk) 12:10, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Giles Laurent (talk) 12:10, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not aligned with the criterias for a set. You could go on and add 10 more Poco a poco (talk) 18:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    According to FPC rules, sets can be used to showcase "a sequence of images showing the passage of time. They could depict frames of a moving/changing object or a static object during different times of day or different seasons. Examples: diagrams illustrating a process, steps of a dance, metamorphosis of an insect, maps/drawings/photos of the same subject over the years (frame of view should be more or less the same)".
    These pictures are litterally steps of a dance all part of the courtship display of the greater flamingo. The courtship display moves are not infinite. A good proportion of the courtship display steps are included in this one so "adding 10 more" wouldn't be possible. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 18:32, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There seems to be many hours between images 1 and 2. Giles, I don't think that's what 'the passage of time' is meant to mean. There are a large number of elements of courtship display.Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The FPC rules explicitely say that it could be different times of the day. So the picture number 2 is perfectly adequate. Also, I could have chosen this image as image number 2 but I prefer the actual one because you better see the movement being done with the feets splashing the water. This is wildlife and not human choreography. The animals do their courtship display and you can't ask them to do it just for the camera. Since they are often packed you will many times find yourself having other distracting flamingos in front of the one doing one of the steps of the courtship display. So waiting to have one subject isolated enough from the others to have a perfect capture of the courtship display step needs some time that can't be avoided.
    According to your article there are 11 courtship display moves. According to the information displayed on big signs in the Camargue there are less moves. In any case the moves that I posted on this set are the main ones that you will see. If you really want to see the preening you can see it here but I won't add it as it's less representative of the courtship display. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:06, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Several pictures could become FP, but I also don't think this selection meets the criteria of a set. The compositions are too different from each other. Some birds are alone while others are in group. The "passage of time" is not explicit. Moreover, the bird in "Pointing head to the sky and spreading wings" has the feet cropped out, while in a set all the pictures should be FP-level. I would recommend to renominate some images separately -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your comment Basile. Eventhough the usual set nomination we see on FPC has similar composition across the images, FPC rules never asked for it. All the image needs is to fulfill two conditions : 1) "group of images that are thematically connected in a direct and obvious way, they can be nominated together as a set" ; 2) fall into at least one of the following types : a) Faithful digital reproductions of works notable in their own right, which the original author clearly intended to be viewed as a set ; b) a sequence of images showing the passage of time. They could depict frames of a moving/changing object or a static object during different times of day or different seasons. ; c) A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints, preferably taken under the same lighting conditions when possible ; d) A group of images which show all possible variations of a particular class of object.
    In this case the thematical connection is obvious : it's the courtship display. As for the categories it can fall both in category b) and d). None of the above rules explicitely require to have the exact same composition on each image. On the opposite, for all categories it is possible to imagine different compositions across the images. I also personnaly think it's more interesting in a case like this one to have different compositions to have more diversity.
    As for the birds, they were all photographed while being in a group. I just waited patiently the perfect moment to have subjects a bit on the edge of the group in order to have an unobstructed view without disturbing elements in the middle of the frame.
    As for this picture having cropped feet I understand it would have been preferable to have uncropped feet but the movement is so quick (1 to 2 seconds) and you're often looking at something else that the time needed to point at the right direction don't always let enough time to zoom out. I also feel that the perfectly centered flamingo has a wow effect that overweights the cropped feet. Anyway, if you think it's a better one, I just removed that picture and replaced it with this one that has uncropped feet -- Giles Laurent (talk) 01:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    There is absolutely nothing random in this set. These are all the most common courtship display moves that can be seen every time during the courtship display. Also, as already explained on my comments above, there is nothing invalid with this set. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 19:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not a valid set according to the guidelines, sorry. I don't see a "passage of time" between these images, except they are all taken at different minutes of the day (of course, like all pictures). These photos are too much unconnected to each other. For example the "kissing" birds has a totally different framing from others. Where is the passage of time? Where are the other 10 birds? Like Poco and PantheraLeo1359531, I agree some of these images could become FP if nominated separately. But at the difference of dance steps, for example, where the solo or duo dancers are supposed to remain the same all the time during the dance show, here we see groups of birds of different sizes, sometimes cropped out (#2 and #3) sometimes not cropped (#1 and #5), sometimes just a pair {#4). Imagine nominators proposing such "passage of time" for all the image sessions they live everywhere, and all the subjects, like vehicles, weather, sports, etc. Example an elephant in the water, then three elephants walking the same day, then 10 elephants eating, plus another shot with a mahout, etc., and finally all the pictures. Of course, there's always a "passage of time", but this wouldn't make a valid set. And I don't think you'll find such nominations in the archives. Some pictures look similar (#1, #2, #3, #5), but others can work separately as individual FPs. Please try to select the finest -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The rocky shores of the second Zagedan lake in a mountain cirque.
This is how the bare sunlight, obscured by fog and cloud, looks to the naked eye. The highlights, tone mapping and colors look natural to me. In fact, I suspect the colors might be a little oversaturated with this profile. The sky turned white, but I just checked and there is nothing to recover there, a big bright sunspot under fog covering most of the sky and only some irregular circular side patterns on the left, seemingly not coming from any cloud structure. It’s just dense, shadeless, formless cloud fog lit with diffuse sunlight in the valley behind the wall, with nothing to recover or reveal. --Argenberg (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thank you Cmao20 for cross-referencing it to another entry. What I like about this picture is its mood and contemplative atmosphere. The other one is flashy, good for a quick glance or two. But this one is different and seems to captivate more if you take time. But it only works in dim environments. I looked at it again tonight, when everything around was dark and silent, and it again took me back to that late evening, lonely glacial cirque, with the sun fading and everything around rapidly getting darker and colder. With all the rocks and sediments of ancient geology, piled and scattered, huge and small, exposed and submerged, testimony to eons of erosion, weathering and terraforming, and the evening lake with its reflections on the surface, and the silence. I actually prefer this to the other for its soothing, meditative effect. Eye candy is one thing, soul is another. Maybe it's like introversion vs. extrospection. --Argenberg (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: You write under this photo (nothing special). I think this is an assumption. It should be: (I find nothing special about this photo). Another voter may look at this photo very differently. When I look at the photo, I see an economically written-off object that has been embraced by nature over the years. It has become one with the environment. The earth colours merge seamlessly into each other. Art and nature have met each other by chance here. How beautiful can it be?--Famberhorst (talk) 17:45, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree with you. If a photo is clearly out of focus, then that is the case, because everyone can see that. If you find the photo (Nothing special), then that only applies to you and there may be other opinions about it. Then I think you should mention that it is (your opinion). Otherwise you are doing the photographer an injustice.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:34, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Out of focus" is a subjective opinion too. We all are individuals. Each person shares subjective reviews. Some people write "no wow", some people write "too ordinary", some people write "I miss something", etc. To help the photographers to face negative feelings, we usually write "sorry" as a courtesy formula. Here the subject looks like a standard pipe. These conventional objects are not rare in the countrysides of the world. The dead branches are not spectacular either. They make the composition cluttered. And I think the top-down view is not uncommon, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:43, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is distinct enough in terms of subject and composition. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 22:24, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question Somehow the asymmetric left/right crop bothers me because the church is quite symmetric. It’s clear that you do not want to crop the candelabrum at the right. Any chance to add a little more space at the left to achieve symmetry? Just asking, – Aristeas (talk) 10:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The sunspot is fine for me, but I fully agree with Aristeas's point. This is an image that demands symmetry and it just isn't satisfying at the moment. Cmao20 (talk) 02:30, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Thanks Aristeas and Cmao20 for the suggestion. I tried to give a little more space at left to achieve symmetry. Please take a look. Greetings --Dirtsc (talk) 17:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Personally, I find this a little unfortunate because a chandelier is now cut off on the left and disturbs the picture. Certainly a question of taste and a consideration that is debatable. But I don't know if it's a good idea to change the picture after it's already been voted on - my pro referred to the version that was put to the vote at the time. I still like the picture but changed to neutral --Superbass (talk) 09:18, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        •  CommentSuperbass describes exactly my problems. Now there is a cutoff at left and (and this is my problem I can't solve) I uploaded a new version in the middle of this voting. How can we handle this? How was this handled with other images? Switch back to the previous version? Greetings --Dirtsc (talk) 10:05, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          •  CommentI'm not that experienced either, but here is an example of a vote with an alternative version that was added. --Superbass (talk) 19:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
            •  Comment The best way to proceed depends on the importance of the changes to the image.
              1. If one changes an image during the process of voting and the changes are very minor and uncontroversial (e.g., some dust spots have been fixed), we usually add a simple comment to the nomination saying that this or that has been fixed.
              2. If the changes are of intermediate importance, e.g. when the crop has been changed a little bit (like in this example) or when the exposure has been changed to a small degree, we usually add a comment and ping all previous voters to inform them about the change (the {{Ping}} template is useful for that purpose).
              3. If the changes are more important, e.g. when there has been a big change of the crop or a new development from the raw image file, or when one wants to propose a different exposure from the same photo session, it is advisable to upload that new version as a new file (under a new filename) and to add it to the nomination as an ‘Alternative’ image (see the “Formal things” box at the head of this page).
              4. If one wants to propose a completely different photo (even of the same subject), a separate nomination is necesssary.
            Hope this helps, – Aristeas (talk) 16:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
            Thank you. So I'd suggest, @Dirtsc uses the version he/she prefers and briefly notifies those who voted while another version was visible. So far, no one seems to be taking the change as an opportunity to vote pro instead of con or vice versa. Superbass (talk) 17:02, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Sorry, my question about the possibility to improve the symmetry was not meant to spoil the nomination; it was just a question or suggestion. Personally I would still be happier about this photo of a very symmetric interior if the photo was completely symmetric, too (by the way, this is not my hobby horse, but a common idea often expressed on this page). But I agree that the photo is also attractive as it is, especially, as Moroder has rightly emphasized, the light spot brings some magic into the scene. – Aristeas (talk) 16:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Ermell, the sun spot doesn't bring magic to this scene in my opinion. (and by the way, horizontal PC would be welcome, horizontal lines aren't parallel and I think they should in a symetric composition) --Benji 22:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
