Info Boris Kustodiyev. Maslenitsa. 1919. Oil on canvas. 71x98 sm. Maslenitsa (Maślenica, also known as Butter Week, Crepe week, or Cheesefare Week), is an Eastern Slavic religious and folk holiday. It is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent—that is, the eighth week before Eastern Orthodox Pascha (Easter). Maslenitsa corresponds to the Western Christian Carnival, except that Orthodox Lent begins on a Monday instead of a Wednesday, and the Orthodox date of Easter can differ greatly from the Western Christian date.

Support From Commons:Featured picture candidates#Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents (trimmed):

"Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:

Notable in its own right: Works by major artists, or works that are otherwise notable, such as the subjects of a controversy...
Of high historic merit: The historical method values very early illustrations of scenes and events over later ones. Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low. Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents – which may not be at all artistic – nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject."

I don't know much about art, so I can't say with certainty the artist is a "major artist" but Boris Kustodiev has a Wikipedia article, which is noteworthy and suggest he is an important Russian artist. Otherwise, I think this certainly meets the second criteria above. -- AHeneen (talk) 05:26, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- The stork is in nice morning sun light. Due to the dark background the animal comes out quite well. IMHO a dark background is the best choice for a white stork. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:31, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Hubertl, es war noch recht früh und kalt (10:30 Uhr), vielleicht war der Herr (oder Frau) Storch noch müde :) Auf mich wirkten die Tiere im Weltvogelpark Walsrode nicht unglücklich - im Gegenteil. Die Pfleger haben die Tiere mit großem Respekt behandelt, was man z.B. gut bei der Flugshow schon sehen konnte. English: The birds seemed to me not unlucky - in contrary. The stork was photographed in the cold morning and was probably still tired. My impression from the very nice Weltvogelpark Walsrode was that the animals were treated very respectfully by the zookeeper as one could easily observe during the great flight show. --Tuxyso (talk) 23:42, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I hate to poop the party here, this is a great video, but ... shouldn't it at least have subtitles? It wouldn't be too hard to write some in TimedText; someone who can't understand spoken English is going to be totally lost watching this video without at least subtitles (and once there's a set in English, they could easily be translated as desired).

Support The place is charming --LivioAndronico talk 23:59, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The place is certainly charming but we are assessing images, not places. There’s severe chromatic aberration on this one (visible e.g. in the rocks on the left, or the dark ribbons on the yurts), and large parts of the roofs are blown. This is not sufficient on an 8 mpix FPC. Not even QI for me, sorry. --Kreuz schnabel 11:13, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Todi is a town and comune (municipality) of the province of Perugia (region of Umbria) in central Italy. It is perched on a tall two-crested hill overlooking the east bank of the river Tiber, commanding distant views in every direction.

In the 1990s, Richard S. Levine, a professor of architecture at the University of Kentucky, chose Todi as the model sustainable city, because of its scale and its ability to reinvent itself over time. After that, the Italian press reported on Todi as the world's most livable city. All by Livioandronico2013 -- LivioAndronico talk 21:03, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Ciao, as you are insisting to request a vote, I do not hesitate to oppose your nomination because I truly believe that this photo is good in composition and the object is interesting but unfortunately the light and the sky are pretty flat and boring (pardon me for beeing sincere). That#s for the photo. In regard to voting, I strongly believe that nominations for FP are not supposed to be as reciprocal as nominations for QI, where it is expressly stated in the guidelines that you should review one image for every nomination. I personally do not feel to be able to judge most of the time if a picture is adequate for FP and I refrain from voting even if I have abut 40 FP. I, personally, do not feel very comfortable to judge FP candidates and I am more than happy to leave the burden to others. Please consider also that I have plenty of gratitude for your support and appreciation of my work. Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Viborg power plant in Denmark is in my opinion an architectural gem, when it comes to modern industrial buildings (and we have FoP for architecture in Denmark). I live nearby and I have photographed it from different angles, in different seasons and different times of day over several years. This summer I tried to nominate an early evening photo with little success. I was recommended to get a prime lens. I have gotten that since. Now, I have tried again, this time using the exact same workflow and tools (but not an equally fancy camera) as a certain well-known church interior photographer here;-) And I have tried to do a night shot using PTGui Pro to make an tone-mapped 32-tiff from a 1×3 pano in four different exposures using my new Canon EF 40 mm f/2.8 STM prime lens. Then tone-mapped exclusively in Lightroom - with faithful colors. I have previously attempted that back in 2010, but with much worse image quality than here and a far from optimal workflow. I have used the nominated pcture as a desktop background the couple of days, and I appreciate it more and more. What is expecially challenging is the extreme difference in brightness of the neon sign to the left and the very weak light hitting the sides of the building. I actually have two further exposures at 8s and 30s to dig even more into the structures of the dark shadows, but it creates such a dominant bloom and glare from the purple-blue neon light, that it becomes very distracting, and so dominant that I cannot find a way to tone-map it, which makes it useful to look at. Thus I have discarded those exposures after several different attempts to find a best compromise. Created, uploaded and nominated by Slaunger -- Slaunger (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question Have you corrected the perspectives, the vertical inside the power plants seems to leaning in, at least more than in this image where the verticals are also a bit leaning in. The image seems also a bit tilted on right. -- ChristianFerrer 06:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Christian Ferrer. Thanks for your comment/question. The center line around the chimney is vertical as far as I can tell. You are correct that the verticals inside the plant (the ones on the windows are the only ones seen) converge inwards as you go up a bit. I tried to make them absolutely vertical, but the vertical field of view is so large that it results in a disproportionate looking geometry. Regarding the apparent tilt, I had a look at this for a long time when I perspective-corrected the image. The base landscape in the foreground is not horizontal but falls off to the right. I think this gives a visual, but wrong impression of a tilt. The fact that the power plant, which has a vertical mirror plane is not centered in the composition (because I wanted to include the neon sign) also results in some "mind tricks". -- Slaunger (talk) 22:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Saffron Blaze. The composition and mood is very good though. It also appears the light conditions were very good. If you still have the raw, I think a few featurable version could be developed, which is more faithful. For instance the green walls of the monastery look completely artificial in this edit. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:23, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I checked it with lightroom as well and in fact there are no burned out areas.

Hello Code, first thing you should write under the comment of the person that you want answer. Anyway a thing is QI and another is FP. It IQ is given the quality of the picture and I felt that burned parts were minimum standards for the quality of the same. In FP is different, the picture has to be perfect it whole and these areas or the dark part on the left does not make that, again in my opinion of course. Let's do this, cut the dark part on the left and i can review my vote.Grazie. --LivioAndronico talk 15:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment One of the parts of the assembly is out of focus. I would say that as the mona lisa, I wanted to capture and enhance the look in her eyes. --The Photographer (talk) 23:18, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand cropping a landscape/cityscape for a specific feature (particularly if the whole image has issues), but dramatically cropping part of a painting to be a featured picture because the whole image had flaws just doesn't seem, well, like a featured picture...--Godot13 (talk) 00:48, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been honest, despite my mistake, I must admit that some wonderful things come from errors. --The Photographer (talk) 08:38, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I rather agree with Godot. I'm curious as to what the whole painting looked like. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This image is not tourist for me, however it is special. For some it is touristy and bit special, so important in FP is average in both cases. Because evaluations are subjective, and of course, your opinion is valid. I am constantly looking for how special for most people, however, the special varies from experiences of each. To better understand this section I had to imagine myself as a citizen of the first world who are amazed with iguanas or completely normal situations around me. Understand that every opinion is important part of mutual respect and understanding of the universality of thought, there is obviously sync assertiveness and respect for voters. --The Photographer (talk) 18:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Set

Info OK, so it looks as if the ban on sets has been de facto lifted per the recent FPC mentioned by ArionEstar. And I feel like three photos taken from the same angle on the same day at different hours ought to qualify under any sensible definition of "set." So I'm officially adding a set nomination here as an "alt." (Though it's not really an alt; if both happen to pass, then it would make sense to promote the set rather than the single image regardless of the relative levels of support, no?)

Strong Keep I think it's very unfair to deselect the photo. The technical standards are very different today than ten years ago almost. And the demands placed on today photos are also considerably higher. Following this motto thousands of other photos should also be deselected. --Steindy (talk) 19:05, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment *sigh* Do we have to go through this again? FP rules clearly say that any image may be delisted as soon as it no longer meets FP criteria (which, of course, rise with the technical possibilities) though it did so when it was featured: Over time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. So, this is by no means "unfair" but a plain straightforward procedure. Being an FP once does not mean being it for a lifetime. On the last delisting discussion about an image of the same author a few weeks ago, even the author agreed to delist! --Kreuz schnabel 06:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info This upper image was promoted with overwhelming support (19/0/0) a little over a month ago: (Original nomination) However, meanwhile, Diliff has restitched the image from the original raws (lower image), using only non-destruvitve editing in Lightroom. This has resulted in higher image fidelity, more faithful colors and better tonality in the sky. Moreover, by using content-aware fill, he has been capable of extending the sky, thus managing to produce an image with a less extreme aspect ratio. The process is described in detail at the English Wikipedia FPC process. I am very, very gratefull for and impressed by this edit, as the raws do not appear promising at first sight.

Oppose Waaayyy overprocessed. Whites are blown, colors look unnatural and the resultl ooks like la nuit americaine in reverse. Kleuske (talk) 12:04, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't really understand your comment about it looking like la nuit americaine in reverse. The colours look perfectly natural to me though (given the lighting conditions), and the only whites that are blown are directly next to bright halogen spotlights. Not really easy to compensate for that. What specifically do you think looks overprocessed? Diliff (talk) 18:22, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - La Nuit américaine probably refers to w:Day for Night (film). Regards, Yann (talk) 10:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks Yann. I guessed that much, but I don't understand how it relates to this image. La Nuit américaine is when daylight footage is artificially darkened to make it appear to be at night. So I would guess that Kleuske is suggesting that it looks like a night time image brightened to look like daylight. Well, that's just what long night time exposures often are. You don't really see star trails when you look up at the sky, but it's a legitimate type of photography nonetheless. Not every image should look exactly as it appears to the human eye, especially not night photography. Diliff (talk) 14:07, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - If the subject were star-trails, i would not have that much of a problem with weird lighting, and long exposures sure have their place in photography. This however, is not a very good example in my opinion. There's no apparant reason for or advantage to a very long exposure in this case. The same image taken by daylight would have made a better image. In this case it just looks weird. That's entirely your artistic freedom, but I do not consider it FA-material. Kleuske (talk) 15:13, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment a bit bright IMO -- ChristianFerrer 12:13, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry! The photo seems to me completely unnatural colors and do not fit in your other photos. I'm afraid that you've edited it broke with photoshop. --Steindy (talk) 18:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think what you are interpreting as unnatural colours is the result of the white balance being set for the incandescent lighting (so that the building itself is creamy white). This has the effect of making the garden and flowers tint quite cool. Other than that, I really don't understand the problem. Perhaps someone can explain in more detail.

Support. Long exposures of flowing water have lately seen a bit of overuse, but I still think it's the most aesthetic way of demonstrating the flow. I think the movement is important. It's suggestive of flow in a way that short exposures can't provide. Diliff (talk) 18:30, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Diliff: The Problem with this is imho, that if you overdo it the "flow" may get lost and turn into something that looks more like mist/haze than liquid water. This can of course have its own artistic merits, but Art is not our primary concern at FP … No problem with this image though, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 10:48, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree, if the exposure is too long, it becomes a haze. But as with all legitimate photographic techniques, particularly HDR, it can be used for good and for evil. The key is to know how to use the effect without overdoing it. Diliff (talk) 13:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Basically a very good photo if it were not for the extremely overexposed, and outshone window. --Steindy (talk) 19:20, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The window is not "extremely overexposed". This is a plain glass window (so no detail to retain), and the small amount of glare is realistic. Indeed, if HDR/processing had brought the bright skylight window down to merely paper-white, I might have opposed. -- Colin (talk) 08:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree with Colin. Not every blown highlight is a problem to be solved. Sometimes they're actually necessary for the correct tonality of a scene. Clear glass windows are often so much brighter than an interior scene that it would look awful if it were artificially darkened. One way to avoid this contrast would be to shoot it around dusk where the lighting is more balanced between indoors and outdoors, but I don't think it's necessary here.

- Comment The image has obviously been tone-mapped (see the bright haloes around the towers). And correction of leaning verticals is pretty common around here. --Kreuz schnabel 18:16, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, it hasn't been. Please, see my comment above to Daniel, Poc o² 20:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- - Comment All well and good. Do you share these views, especially in the absence of converging lines of a 179 m high tower? Visually, the towers even act as if they widen upward (see optical illusions). --Steindy (talk) 19:34, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - - I've had this exact debate with someone on the English wikipedia and I've come to the conclusion that some people perceive vertical perspective in a photo differently to others. Not everyone sees parallel lines as widening. I don't see them widening here anyway. I also disagree that the human eye sees converging lines the way a camera does. Our eyes have a wide field of view (120 degrees vertically and almost 180 degrees horizontally) but our fovea only allows us to see any detail in a very narrow field of view (2 degrees). We scan our eyes around a scene to see the details and each time our eye settles on a vertical line, it becomes vertical because it is centred in our vision. Another vertical line might in theory appear to be leaning inwards in the corner of your eye but I challenge you to perceive it. I've tried many times and never have my eyes perceived an inward leaning vertical line in the periphery of my vision. And of course when my eye moves to look at that vertical line, it becomes straight because it becomes centred, as I mentioned before. In any case, all this is academic. Although there are some potential drawbacks to vertical perspective correction, it's an established practice in architectural photography for a reason.

Support like the parking section in the two buildings. Nikhil (talk) 09:57, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Is nobody else bothered by the fact that the sky is not consistent? It looks a lot like a stitching fault, although from what I have read above, it is not stitched? I think it's most likely a strange effect of the clouds, but has been exaggerated by the processing. Also, the building behind and to the left transitions from a deep aquamarine to a light blue-green. I'm not insisting that it must be a processing problem (there could be lighting conditions that create this effect?) and I can see that it's the same effect in all versions of the image, but it does look very strange to me. The sky's inconsistency and the processing makes it look a bit unrealistic looking to me. Diliff (talk) 10:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
David: there is no stitching and no editing in this picture apart from brightening the darker areas. Will look anyhow with more detail into it tomorrow, right know I cannot access the raw file. Poc o² 22:07, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps it's just the result of strange clouds and weather then. :-) I believe you, of course, but it puzzles me. As I said, the building on the left looks very very strange, with completely different colour and brightness at the top and bottom. Diliff (talk) 22:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
David: I looked into it in detail and can confirm that there is nothing strange. The area in the middle of the sky are clouds and the colors in the left building in the background are due to the lighting conditions. I can send you the RAW file if you want to see it on your own and even give it a try. I would be curious about the result. Poc o² 20:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's ok. If it is in the RAW file then it's just the way the scene was. I know the lighter part of the sky in the middle is clouds, but the strange part for me is the way it becomes a deep blue very quickly, then gets lighter again on the right side of the sky. There doesn't seem to be any clouds there, so I don't know why it lightens. And there is still the unexplained difference in colour and brightness in the buildings. I don't think there is much I could do to the RAW file anyway. It's not a blending problem, and trying to remove lighting transitions is not easy. Diliff (talk) 11:04, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This problem remember me this nomination Each person has their own perception of reality, so no one can be wrong. --The Photographer (talk) 11:07, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is true. Nobody else was there when this photo was taken, so we cannot say that we know for sure what it should look like. But I have worked on enough photos to know when something looks strange because of post-processing, rather than because reality itself was strange. I do believe that Poco hasn't screwed up or deliberately messed with the photo to enhance it beyond reality, but I think he has perhaps accidentally pushed it too far. I'm sure there were some strange lighting conditions at the time he took the photo which would explain the reflections in the windows of the building behind and the darker part of the sky, but I think the post-processing has exaggerated them and made them look a bit too abnormal. Just my opinion though. My perception of reality is unique. ;-) Also, I agree with you that the the other nomination you mentioned looks a bit unrealistic. But then again, one of my recent nominations seemed to get the same response, and I didn't think it looked particularly unrealistic (night photos are much harder to say though, because our eyes never see in darkness the way a camera does).

- Kadellar: the current DPI information in the EXIF is only a "fictitious specification" in the EXIF data.

The DPI info has no influence for an image view. It is simply total unimportant. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 01:15, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Take a look to the absolute same image now with the 300PI info in the EXIF Data. Take a binary comparison from both images and you can see the difference: only the hexadecimal number for 72DPI (&0048) and 300DPI (&012C). Regards, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 01:33, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Das ist kein Farb-, sondern ein Monitor-Farbraumproblem, wodurch der Verlauf zwingend in Blöcke getrennt werden muss, da große Bereiche durch aktuelle Monitore (noch) nicht darstellbar sind. Eine mögliche Erweiterung von RGB um Gelb und Cyan ist der nächste Schritt. Siehe hier. Rein rechnerisch ist der Hintergrund perfekt. Obwohl mit der geringsten JPG-Kompression abgespeichert wurde, sieht man bei ca 10-facher Vergrösserung sogar die JPG-Artefakte, die offenbar unvermeidlich sind, wenn auch gering. Bilder dieser Größe haben ich früher bis aufs Format A0 ohne erkennbaren Qualitätsverlust in der Druckerei weiterverarbeitet, auch wenn der Belichter damals bei diesen Größenordnungen (vor 15 Jahren) bereits gestöhnt hat und wir froh waren, wenn die Rechner nicht abgestürzt sind, auch wenn wir CMYK bereits jeweils getrennt belichtet haben. Wenn ich für die 1:1-Darstellung 240 px/Zoll zugrunde lege, übertragen in den Druckbereich, da reichen 100 Linien/cm für absolut höchste, überhaupt denkbare Kunstdruckqualität. Damit gäbe es in diesem Fall ohne rechnerischen Qualitätsverlust eine 1:1-Druckdarstellung von 33x51 cm. Quelle: 35 Jahre Druck und Grafikbranche, Praxis und Lehre. --Hubertl (talk) 02:01, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Danke für die Erklärung (daß das soviel ausmacht, hätte ich nicht gedacht), aber das beseitigt das Problem nicht, das ich mit dem Bild habe. Anders ausgedrückt: Ein ausgezeichnetes Bild muß die technischen Grenzen berücksichtigen. Daher wäre ein anderer, technisch weniger anspruchsvoller Hintergrund für mich besser. --Kreuzschnabel 18:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Dir ist aber schon klar, dass nicht Deine technischen Grenzen gemeint sein können, es können nur unsere aktuellen technischen Grenzen gemeint sein - die in 10 Jahren völlig anders angesiedelt sind, so auch in der Interpretation von Bilddaten für den Bildschirm. Wir haben heute 4K-Monitore, denken an 8K-Monitore, erweitern ständig die Farbräume auf den Bildschirmen durch immer mehr unterschiedliche Licht- und Farbinformationen pro Lichtpunkt, wobei jeder Pixel, und davon jede einzelne LED dahinter (mehrere/Pixel) einzeln angesteuert werden kann und wird. Dahinter ein wenig kraftwerkschonendes Ding namens Hochleistungsgrafikkarte. Ich könnte ein 32bit-Tiff-Image davon hochladen, das würde zwar noch nicht die Hochladegrenze von Commons sprengen (das PSD hat, auf eine Ebene reduziert, über 100MB), aber deine technische Grenze wäre damit nicht behoben. Du siehst trotzdem dasselbe, weil dein (wie auch mein) Bildschirm es nicht darstellen kann. Es simuliert nur Übergänge in einem bestimmten Bereich. Ich habs gerade ausprobiert, es simuliert nicht einmal, die Übergänge sind trotzdem sichtbar. Im 32bit-Bereich! Dieselbe Bildgröße hat 248MB unkomprimiert. Für TIFF gibts ja keine lossless Kompression, afaik. Ich muss jetzt noch etwas technisches einbringen: die Umwandlung von Grafiken in Raster (für den Druck) läuft mit einer Genauigkeit von - zu meiner Zeit - 2.400 dots/inch, bei Diabelichtung bis hoch zu 6.000 dots/inch. Also - rein technisch - noch eine Ebene höher, welche für uns kaum wahrnehmbar ist (für mich schon, ich habe bis heute das Handwerkszeug eines Druckers/Setzers/Lithografen/Reprotechnikers/Grafikers/ immer dabei: den Fadenzähler).--Hubertl (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Your file description says this is from c. 1970. Such a figurine would be copyright in Indonesia for the life of the author and 50 years, per Template:PD-IDOld-Art29. Thus, this is a copyvio. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- - Are you opposing because of a possible copyvio or because other reasons, Crisco?--Hubertl (talk) 19:26, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The question is: are you establishing a new copyright by copying an old colonial masterpeace? If yes, then you can delete almost any picture in commons from traditional masks, most of them are younger than 50years plus. Is this objekt a individuell piece of art, attributed to a specific, named person, or a result of a mass handicraft workpiece made in an almost industrial manner. It is it is probably fact, that the original design is far, far older, the idea is rather colonial. If it is a singular piece of art you are right but in the other case - there isn´t any personal signature for example - it doesn´nt has any copyright from the very beginning. But you are the lawyer, not me, Crisco. --Hubertl (talk) 17:22, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

        Indeed, no decision yet. Yes, that is the basis of my oppose. Shouldn't promote anything that is liable to be deleted. The fact that traditional works can be copyrighted in Indonesia is one of the reasons I only uploaded a single textile from Google's documentation of the textiles at the Indonesian National Museum; everything else was undated, meaning it could possibly be a recent weaving and thus copyrighted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 20:54, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The background is full of horizontal posterized lines. I'm viewing on a well calibrated monitor, and I see them both in thumbnail and at full res. --99of9 (talk) 03:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per 99of9. The quality of the actual object is just fine, however a posterized digitally rendered background just doesn't cut it for FP. There's a variety of approaches to circumvent this problem. Some people tend to add noise to digital gradients, some use mono-coloured digital backgrounds and others mask the object and replace the background with pictures of actual printed gradients. Assuming that you masked the object in Photoshop anyway, this should be an easy fix. I'd gladly support a picture with a mono-coloured background or an improved gradient.

Comment I did notice the synthetic mat which had appeared at bit suspicious at first. But still, I'd say the sky is somewhat too blue and dark. I suppose you've applied a polarizer here.

Oppose. It's not a particularly compelling composition for me. For an abstract image such as this, I feel that composition is everything.

Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff. This is a little known but fantastically decorated chapel inside a Great Ormond St Hospital, a children's hospital in London. I had not even heard of the chapel until a few days ago, so when I read about it, I decided to go and visit. As it is a children's hospital chapel, there are lots of touching details, such as the large collection of teddy bears (called the Teddy Bear choir!) which have been placed in the chapel by family members, and the 'prayer tree' with messages of hope and support for sick children. It is a very small chapel - perhaps smaller than it looks in the photo due to the wide angle of view. A small amount of vertical compression has been applied to the image to stop the dome from elongating too much. This has had the effect of squashing the top so that it is not quite circular, but I felt that it was the best compromise between controlling distortion and geometrical accuracy. Also, there seems to be a bit of a rainbow effect caused by the downsampling in the thumbnail, please view at full size and it should disappear. -- Diliff (talk) 20:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Kadellar, you added a note to the image page asking if the crop could be looser. Unfortunately it can't, that is the limit of what I captured. Already the angle of view from the horizon to the top of the frame is about 65 degrees which is quite extreme even for a panoramic stitch. That's the equivalent of 130 degrees vertical field of view which in 35mm rectilinear lens terms is about 8mm focal length! The widest full frame lens in existence (that I'm aware of anyway) is 12mm which has a 112 degree FOV. And of course that would have much worse image quality.... Anyway, just putting in perspective why I wasn't able to get any wider vertical field of view here. It is quite extreme. Diliff (talk) 19:37, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. It's just that I find the edge of the circle too close to that of the image. The chapel must be indeed small... we haven't been there and it seems possible to have a wider crop, but as you say, it's almost above you. I'm still not really satisfied with the upper crop but I
Support because it's a quite unique place and because technically it is very good. --Kadellar (talk) 19:45, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's sometimes a challenge to visualise the framing when shooting an ultrawide panoramic. You have to guess where the borders of the image will be, because the image gets warped when converted to rectilinear projection. And even if you do know where the border will be, that doesn't mean you can do much about it if the angle of view is too large. What would you prefer, the existing tight crop at the top, or cropping further the central part of dome with the pelican? Really, they are my only choices in this scene.

Comment Concept is brilliant, but there are some oddities for me. The crop does not maximize the use of leading lines. I can't wrap my head around the differences in height of the trains as well as the apparent asymmetry on the ground. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:37, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Saffron Blaze Thanks for your comment and appreciation of the concept. I think the problem is that it is a curved platform (and hence the difference in height). So it does not help that the camera is centered (relative to the platform). I dont know if there's any better solution?--ArildV (talk) 23:45, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Banding very obvious in many parts. A bit to shallow DOF. Bad crop. --Mile (talk) 21:57, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@PetarM: I will work on the banding issue. What is wrong with the crop? --Uoaei1 (talk) 07:16, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would concentrate more on what is sharp, or at least some crop from sides, should main flower fell to third rule spot. --Mile (talk) 07:25, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Conditional neutral~~ I like the composition a lot. It is refreshing and eye-catching after having seen a lot of unimaginative plant composition being nominated at FPC. I do not mind the somewhat shallow dof. It attracts the eye to the main central flower. It is visual caviar, ahh. I do think though that something should be done wrt the banding in the background. Maybe re-introduce a little grain or subtle noise in the background to break up the banding? I'll be happy to change to support if that is addressed. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:44, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

View of the Carina Nebula taken from the Astronomy Observatory of Los Molinos (OALM) (es) located in Montevideo, Uruguay. Please, note that on the contrary to most of our FPs listed here, this is not the work of the NASA or ESO, but of an Uruguayan Commonist thank to a project of Wikimedia Uruguay with several institutes in that country, who took the picture and processed it by himself. The result has nothing to envy to the works of space agencies in my opinion, that's what amazed me and motivates this FPC. The picture is based on 9 frames of 2 minutes exposure each with a Nikon Df and a catadioptric Nikkor 500mm f/8 lense, apart from the dark, bias and flat frames for the post-processing. For the post-processing a dedicated software for this kind of photography (PixInsight) was used that merges the images, analyses the brightness scale, reduces the noise and enables the management of saturation and dynamic range.

Clipped areas
Hard not to excuse again … but while idea and composition of this picture are truly great, the blown whites (of which there are huge areas all over the head!) are an absolute no-go for me. See the pic on the right, all green areas are pure white in the original. Contrast does not make the clipping inavoidable here, so the image is simply overexposed or overprocessed. --Kreuzschnabel 08:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- My Lightroom is not showing as extreme highlight issues; what software are you using? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am talking about the picture nominated. The areas I have pointed out show no detail at all to me, and I found that by looking at the picture, not by using any analysing software. Be it 255/255/255 or 254/254/254, the visual effect is the same. I was using colour selection in GIMP but don’t remember the tolerance setting (admittedly it certainly wasn’t zero). However, it still shows what I feel looking at the original image. --Kreuzschnabel 15:07, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - I checked the nominated file in Lightroom, not the original RAW. I'm guessing the two pieces of software have different thresholds (Lightroom's own settings, and the tolerance in GIMP's software). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:44, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We could look at File:Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 woah!.jpg as see that although it is a fantastic photo, it is unlikely to be FP in its current state (ignoring the size issue) because it is "boxed in" in the frame. The analogous version of the photo being discussed here is to the right. Slaunger and LivioAndronico2013 have issues with the crop. The crop is fine IMHO for the purposes of FP -- the aircraft is not boxed in the frame, and has plenty of room to breathe. russavia (talk) 10:48, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not showing the hotel, but the island. I've been there also in 2009, before opening the hotel, and this place looks exactly the same (from the outside of course). Opening the hotel didn't change anything with exterior of this island. The other thing is that FoP (or no-FoP) has nothnig with Featured pictures nominiations.

      - I don't full understand the talk page conversation but I see now it is a strong vignette all round the face. If the vignette overlapped the top of the hair, then perhaps it wouldn't look so much like a halo. I appreciate the desire to bring focus on the face, but this doesn't seem to be subtly done. -- Colin (talk) 18:18, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        It is a very good technique in fine-arts. But if Commons only wants boring 100% faithful reproductions, it will be bad technique. :) J e e 02:24, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

        Family portrait photography (per the link) isn't really "fine arts". Nor (to put my Wikipedia hat on) is 500px a reliable source for serious photographic technique. Regardless, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with using a vignette just as there is nothing wrong with using a graduated filter for landscape photography. But both techniques can be overdone or misaligned. -- Colin (talk) 13:00, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support That halo is hardly visible in the original, full resolution version. I suspect that the halo effect in the thumbnails/smaller sizes is due to oversharpening from the recently introduced "bucketed" thumbnailing. See phab:T76983. --El Grafo (talk) 10:48, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yes; no halo in full size. And glad to see his teeth are out of focus. I had vomited several times after seeing an fpc at EN last year. :) J e e 11:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see the halo on the full-size image if I step back, or if I reduce it in software. So this is not a mediawiki thumbnail issue. -- Colin (talk) 13:00, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see it also at my 4K monitor. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:32, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see it as well, and yes it gets more pronounced if you step back or zoom out. I've downloaded the small thumbnail on the right as well as the original, loaded both in Gimp and zoomed out the original to match the thumbnail's size. There's quite a difference in sharpening which also affects the halo to some degree. Personally I think that the amount of halo visible in the original size is OK. I can understand other people disagreeing on that, but however you decide, please don't make your decision solely based on Mediawiki's current thumbnail settings. --El Grafo (talk) 13:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm only talking about the light halo around the head btw, not about the dark vignetting effect that makes the scarf blend into the shirt at the bottom etc. That's an appropriate thing to so in order to focus on the face, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 14:01, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All quality photo websites, including MediaWiki apply a small degree of sharpening when they downsize an image, to offset the softening effect of the algorithms and to restore pixel-level contrast which can be averaged away. If you simply downsize without sharpening, an image can look soft. See this. -- Colin (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but very recently the way this is being done on Commons has changed. Previously, each thumbnail size was created from the original with an appropriate, small amount of sharpening. Now they use a "bucket chain", where only the largest thumbnail is created from the original. From that, the next smaller size is created, and from that the next smaller size and so on. Sharpening is done in every step so that the smaller sizes receive several rounds of sharpening. See this example ("old" mediawiki default on the left, new "bucketed" approach on the right). See also phab:T76983 or Commons:Forum#Neue_Version_der_Vorschau? (in german), where people complain about that.

All I'm saying is: Don't trust our thumbnails at the moment, there have been some drastic changes lately. --El Grafo (talk) 15:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like the composition, the colours, but especially the waves which are somehow "living", don't know how to describe it better in english. -- Smial (talk) 12:50, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks Smial for this nomination! I can add that this picture was taken just after the sunset (the time 21:43 is correct). Sunsets in Iceland are though a bit different. I remains relatively bright until after midnight during sommer. Taking this shot was also challenging due to the weather conditions, it was so windy that the wind pulled my camera + tripod away, so I had to put myself against the wind direction and in front of the camera to take this shot. Getting to this location is also tricky, I had to climb to get to this spot. Poc o² 13:19, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose. I appreciate the difficulty because of the weather conditions, but the picture is too blurry. Sorry. Nikhil (talk) 03:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nikhil: well, you cannot expect that the whole picture is sharp from the see to the stone below the camera, especially the stones in the foreground are unsharp, which should enhance the eyes movement through the sharper area in the background. Poc o² 17:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Some may call it "blurry", others call it "not oversharpened". I prefer images that are not oversharpened. -- Smial (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Poco_a_poco: I like the composition as a whole, but looking at the camera settings, for an exposure of 0.6 seconds, and against a wobbling tripod, because of strong winds as you mention, no wonder the picture is blurry. Couldn't you have increased the ISO and decreased the exposure time to say 1/60 seconds so that blur would have been mitigated to a great extent? Just a suggestion Nikhil (talk) 05:30, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nikhil: The lack of sharpenss that you claim, and for me is acceptable for this kind of shot, cannot be due to the a shaky tripod, since some areas are IMO sharp enough. In such a case there would be a lack of sharpness overall. I not only took this picture but a bunch of them of this subject and uploaded a third of them. Poc o² 13:07, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Hubertl, I'm sorry but I think the black shiny background is a bad choice for this still life. The black olives are lost in the composition because they're the same colour. We also lose some perception of volume due to the lack of shadows. I also feel this kind of setting is not so appropiate for this food: the cheese, the peppers and the olives remind me of nature, but the background feels too artificial and cold. A white background wouldn't be very good either imo, but maybe a dark wooden table could work. Nice work with light. --Kadellar (talk) 21:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nice picture. I have some questions/comments:
1. When I just look at it, and especially when my eyes follow the top of the bridge the photo looks like it could need a clockwise rotation. When I further look at the mirror lines where the three pillars meet the water I note they are also quite far from being on a horizontal line, again indicating it could need a clock-wise tilt. But I am not sure though as it depends on the exact position of the vantage point. I assume the photo was taken from Ponte Guiseppe Mazzani? It appears you did not take the shot from the middle of that bridge, which would be the obvious choise (not knowing the place myself). Was there a good reason for picking the exact vantage point? Please consider if the proportions are as they should be. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
2. I always find it hard to get the right white balance in a shot like this. In your photo, I find there is a quite noticeable yellow cast and even the (I suppose green?) foliage looks rather yellow. Are you sure the WB is approximately correct? -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
3. IMO the composition could be improved by cropping both at the top and bottom, giving a larger aspect ratio, emphasizing that the main subject is significantly longer, than it is high. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
4. You have an 18 Mpixel sensor, but the nomination 'only' has half that resolution (in pixels). I suppose it is downsampled to about half the original pixels? The noise level is extremely low. I would recommend not downsampling to unravel more details - or do it less aggressively. I do not think the noise level would become unacceptable from doing that. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed First of all: Thank you for your review and your comments. They are very helpful. I've made a perspective correction with the lights and the water reflections. So it should be OK now. You're right, the photo was taken from Ponte Mazzani. On the left there were disturbing elements. So the photo is taken from the left of Ponte Mazzani. You're right, the white balance got changed. There is too much blue in this image. In the original shot there is really too much yellow. The crop is changed at the top and the bottom. And finally the noise level is changed now and the file size is increased. Hopefully everything is fine now.--XRay ^talk 16:22, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support A significant improvement . All good for me. --Slaunger (talk) 19:49, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a quick response to your issue of white balance in images like this. The problem is that it's fundamentally impossible to fix. The yellow lighting used is sodium vapour, and it produces light of a very limited wavelength. This means that if there are no other light sources with a wider spectrum, no matter what white balance you try to use, the light will be monochromatic. All you will do is change the colour of the monochromatic light. ;-) See here. Sodium lighting scores lower than any other form of lighting. They are cheap and nasty, but because they are quite energy efficient, they are typically used in street lighting. Good for municipal power bills, bad for photography. Diliff (talk) 23:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. As per my comments on the lighting above, I find it difficult to support. Yes, it's a photo of the bridge at night, but if it were taken in the blue hour, we'd at least have a counteracting source of lighting that would avoid rendering it rather monochromatic. Diliff (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

An Alternative in black and white. --XRay ^talk 11:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. To be clear, I was opposing the previous image above because it was monochromatic, not because it was yellow. The same problem applies to this image in B&W IMO. And yes, this is a reflection of my views as discussed in length on the FPC talk page. As a general rule, I don't believe that landscapes and buildings in B&W are most useful to Wikipedia. There are exceptions, but this is unfortunately not one of them. Diliff (talk) 12:14, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is the room where David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, lived in its later years. In 1953 he quit the role of Prime Minister and moved to Sde Boker in the Negev, and encouraged the people of Israel to move and to settle the Negev and the periphery of the country in general. Before dying he asked that his house in Sde Boker will be reserved and serve as a museum, Ben-Gurion's Hut. The museum, and this picture in particular, demonstrates the famous simpilicty in which Ben-Gurion lived, which is a complete contrary to the luxury life many of the Israeli policians have now. -- Tomer T (talk) 20:49, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I asked the picture to be moved to an English name, but this request was declined. Tomer T (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I do not see the file name as a problem at all. File names can be in any language and character set. Its main purpose is to be meaningful (Google translates to 'The room of David Ben-Gurion in Sde Boker hut') and serve as a unique identifier. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Needs perspective correction at least. EV is very high certainly but I fail to see something special in the image, without knowing the room I think a more interesting composition (more depth) should have been possible. --Kreuz schnabel 21:06, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I like the very simplistic interior and the green colors a lot. It is a refreshing topic. As a cultural ignorant I did not know about Ben-Gurion, and I agree it is remarkable life-style for a former Prime and Defense minister. So I learned a lot by seeing it, as it triggered me to read about it, thus fulfilling its educational value purpose. There are some not so good technical aspects abut the image. As a minimum I think it needs to be rotated such that the corner line behind the bed is vertical. Furter improvements on the perspective are also adviceable - it looks weird at the cropped windows. Also quite some noise, but I think reasonable given the interior shot with no flash. There is also quite visible CA at the edges. Not thaat important, but probably correctable, espececially if the creator has the raw file. I improved the categorization and added an English description to the file page. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, while I generally admire your photos, I feel like this shot is not up to your other quality work. Shooting southbound is what most photographers do at this place. However, I would have suggested also exploring the other side of the road (to the viewer's left). That view exposes more of the Pacific and makes the viewer understand the height of the canyon better. Now, what I don't like is your choice of the time of day. Also, the climatic conditions were somewhat unfavorable (see the hazy sky in the background). In general (and maybe I'm more biased than everybody else because I know the place well), this specific shot lacks the wow for me. Again, your other work is outstanding. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:09, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Frank, I understand your point but your suggested view has the big disadvantage that the power supply lines are disturbing the scenery in a significant way. And I think the coast line in Diliffs image is a good framing for this bridge. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Frank, I did actually explore both sides of the bridge but didn't find a view that I liked. I agree that the other side gives a better impression of the height of the bridge, but I think it's an inferior view of the coastline because it's mostly obscured behind the bridge and the hill on the left. I don't think either view is necessarily 'the best'. They are show different things more clearly. I don't consider the haze a particularly unfavourable condition. It's subtle and doesn't really affect anything but the clarity of the horizon. It was pretty characteristic of my entire 2 day drive along the coast, lots of nice deep blue skies but a persistent haze along the horizon. Diliff (talk) 11:26, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; a centered composition is not so good. But the subject was very fast moving and disappeared soon. I got only fiver "keepers", and we can see it is in different location in all of them. My camera has some limitations; I've to move the spot focus point using a joystick, which takes time. The fixed LCD is also not very helpful as I've to kiss the mud to get a view. :) Thanks all for the quick appreciation. J e e 02:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know how that is, that's why this amateur photographer sticks to moth photography, lights attract the moths overnight and then the next day, they're still there, and they don't fly during the day unless touched or bothered. Anyway, great pic! --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 03:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha; I like your moths. BTW, I see some point in your suggestion and made a crop. There is plenty of room in original even if I'm in the closest focusing distance because the subject is very small.

Oppose This picture is no necessarily strongly distorted, and does not fit, IMO, the FP standards, as it is frequently the case, I'm afraid, of a lot of winners of WLM. And it is a pity.--Jebulon (talk) 19:02, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The way I see it, Poco has traded tilted vertical lines in order to reduce perspective distortion. If Poco had used an architectural perspective, the distortion would have been greater. I still prefer to perserve straight vertical lines, but in wide views such as this, it is unavoidable to get some kind of distortion and the distortion is perhaps no worse than mine. I guess the difference between this image and my stitched images is that I can retain more sharpness and resolution so the distortion does not affect the quality as much. With a single frame, it is not so easy. Diliff (talk) 11:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support The "standard" rectilinear view is an FP Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Iglesia de San Pedro, Teruel, España, 2014-01-10, DD 10.JPG. This one is closer and sharper with more detail and better handling of the lighting. The ultra-wide rectilinear has its own distortions. And File:Iglesia de San Pedro, Teruel, España, 2014-01-10, DD 16-17 HDR.JPG is seriously bendy! The converging verticals draw the eye to the apex and make one feel small, looking up. This is a valid perspective choice, rather than a technical error. -- Colin (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Both this and the second image you cited are standard rectilinear though. As far as I can see, the only difference is the position and tilt of the camera. The angle of view seems the same although unlike the other image, the shutter speed, aperture and focal length have been removed from the EXIF data of the file so I can't be sure. Diliff (talk) 11:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have added more information, also the camera settings (ISO 100, 17 mm f/11 2,5s and 8s). One thing, though, I haven't removed anything. As I've explained here and there I have a problem with the EXIF info update module of my enfusion SW that I used for (pseudo-) HDRs. I don't aim to hide any information, the other way around. Poc o² 12:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Regarding the observations of Diliff and Colin I pretty much agree with them. In this picture I got "in the middle of the thing" and the result of a 17mm lens is what you see. I could make a version where verticals are vertical but, apart from the fact that I'd lose half of the picture, the result wouldn't be what I was looking for: "transporting" the viewer into the picture. One of the constraints of the picture when I took it was to be careful with the crop at the top (specially the middle top). David, I think that you'd have a worse time even in Spain to take pictures of churches with a tripod 15 minutes long than in France. I negotiated it (hard) after explaining what the picture was for and got inside 5 minutes before everybody else did in the afternoon allowance. Sometimes I do really miss a kind of acreditation for Wikimedia, that would ease my life. Poco² 12:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I didn't mean that you were deliberately hiding the EXIF data, just that it is missing. It's frustrating that they are so restrictive about photography. There are many locations in England that I would love to be able to photograph but getting permission is hard. I've written to many organisations asking for permission but of course I'm not officially representing Wikimedia, so I'm not usually given any special allowances. Really, the only notable example so far who has given me permission is St Paul's Cathedral. That was a big success though, because photography is usually completely forbidden and there are not many high quality photos of the interior anywhere on the internet. I was given a whole hour but it wasn't really enough. I wish I had another chance because now with my 50mm lens and a bit more experience shooting church interiors, I would have been able to take better photos, but I'm happy with what I managed to take under some time pressure. I have managed to get permission to photograph the interiors of the Bodleian Library in Oxford (again, photography is usually strictly forbidden) and I will be visiting in early January in the morning before it opens to the University. Lighting and time will be very limited, so I'm not sure what results I'll get, but we will see. I agree though, it would be great to get accreditation or for Wikimedia to be able to negotiate on our behalf somehow. Diliff (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Diliff by "standard" I meant "looking straight ahead", as well as the choice of projection. I think here "pointing the camera up" is a good creative choice here. It displays aspects of the view one sees if one were there, looking up, but also (since it is a flat fixed 2D view) has attributes one wouldn't see. Not everything unnatural that is due to a lens is a "fault". For example, with shooting a photo with shallow depth of field -- something the eye never sees. So is background blur a distortion just because it isn't how we perceive the world in person? And bokeh highlights are merely a lens artifact. The viewer isn't mislead here. Architectural perspective is not the only one. My 2p. -- Colin (talk) 13:14, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah ok, I agree, the tilt is good for the composition in this case (although the altar isn't exactly centred so the symmetry is an issue). Just as we don't see a shallow depth of field with our own eyes, we also don't see vertical lines leaning inward as a camera does so I agree there also. We would if our retina extended across our whole field of view, but it doesn't, so we move our eyes to re-centre the view and the vertical line straightens when it is centred. However, I think that is a good argument for why we should (if we can) try to preserve the vertical lines - it better matches what our eyes see. I admit that it isn't possible to do so in this image without introducing fairly significant distortion elsewhere. So yes, in short, I agree that it isn't a rule for all cases, just a guideline that works in most non-extreme cases. Diliff (talk) 13:52, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, although as mentioned above, it isn't entirely symmetrical. Could benefit from a slight crop to the right hand side. Diliff (talk) 13:55, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment D’accord. --Kreuz schnabel 21:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. But why didn't you just shoot the image from the fence, or just to the right side of it? I know you would have had a lower point of view, but I think it would have improved the composition. The lighting is nice and really makes the dam stand out from its surroundings. Diliff (talk) 15:58, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Having read your question I wonder why I didn’t even consider to do so. Of course you’re right about the fence being cropped out but the lower point would lead to two issues: a considerable amount of background hill would be covered, and the battlements on the opposite wall would not be visible either. I don’t think that would improve the image. --Kreuzschnabel 21:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  - @Jebulon: Please don’t remove votings off an active nomination! Obviously Ram-Man didn’t notice in time to follow your advice. Why not just drop him a note and correct his voting respectively? --Kreuzschnabel 09:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Kreuzschnabel: . OK, I'll do that for you (Merry Christmas !). But I think there is a great lack of care in general here, reviewers and nominators do things very quickly without paying enough attention. My action was not an "advice", but only the following of the rules. Small problems like these should not happen. Sorry, but @Ram-Man: 's vote was invalid and therefore should have been cancelled.--Jebulon (talk) 09:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - I wasn't changing my vote anyway. It was an honest "mistake" and the purpose of my vote was obvious. I wanted everyone to see that it was deleted in favor of a bot. There are a whole list polling templates available (See {{Weak support}}). Why is FPC restricted to a small fraction of them? We shouldn't be catering to a bot (and this coming from me). It's a human project first and foremost. All FPC noms have to be closed by a human anyway and it is that person's duty to determine the actual vote count, even if someone votes without a template, votes {{Oppose}} when they mean {{Support}}, etc. AGF demands this. -- Ram-Man 20:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks a lot for the nomination AmaryllisGardener! To be honest I am not convinced, either, that this could be a FP. I think that actually the angle is the best one for this building, but I don't remember why I took it behind the fence, so that's a problem. The contrail mentioned by Daniel is also a minus and the lighting/timing was not the best either, because most of the building is in shadow. To my defense I've to say that I had a tough schedule in Helsinki and didn't have time to look for the best light in all places I was. Poc o² 09:40, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info Marc Gual and Domenico Illuzzi struggling to possess the ball. Spain vs Italy, 2014 CERH Roller Hockey European Championship. I like zenithal shots very much, and in sports photography they provide a very different point of view. In this case (though not completely zenithal) it allowed me to avoid any other players, people, ads or fences in the frame; because of the players' positions it made a good diagonal composition.

Thank you for nominating this image.

Oppose I'm sorry but I don't see anything featurable here. Composition is not attractive imo, the wolf is too much at the lower left corner and the pigeon is centered. Background is distracting. At full size the image shows a strange processing, or jpeg artifacts or something which spoils quality.

Comment It is slightly tilted in CW direction Poco² 18:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it is really, it's just that it was taken from a slightly off-centre position (the viewpoint from the church where I took the photo isn't perfectly in line with the building), which means that the doorway at the bottom isn't vertically aligned with the spire and gives the appearance of a tilt. I had a very close look and there seems to be a tiny amount of CW tilt (I measured it as 0.3 degrees), but that's only possible to notice if you are pixel peeping and aligning vertical lines against the edge of the screen, and I don't believe it's perceivable in regular viewing. The tilt that you are more likely to perceive is due to the visual illusion I mentioned above. Diliff (talk) 01:09, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, Poco is right, but not the picture (please see note). And I don't think it is pixel peeping, as I noticed this even in thumbnail...--Jebulon (talk) 15:36, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - I don't think you could have noticed the lean in the thumbnail though, realistically. As I said, I measured it as 0.3 degrees (and I double checked again in the area you noted). This translates to a total shift of 2 pixels from one side of the building to the other at thumbnail size. Unless you're looking at the thumbnail with a magnifying glass and pixel peeping the thumbnail, I honestly don't think you could perceive that lean. I'm not denying that the lean exists (it does), it's just too small to be perceptible in the thumbnail IMO. I still believe that what you are most likely seeing is the illusion caused by the off-centre composition. I'm happy to correct the shift though. I've uploaded a new image over the top.

        A lean of 0.3 degrees in a thumbnail with a width of 300 pixels though? How can you be sure that you're seeing an actual lean and not an illusion of a lean? Diliff (talk) 17:46, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Please read my message better. --The Photographer (talk) 17:52, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        OK, for me to understand your message better, I need to know what you mean by the word 'this'. By 'this', do you mean the lean that Jebulon was referring to, or do you mean the image itself? If the latter, then yes I agree, any monitor will probably work fine. ;-) I can read your message 100 times but it isn't inherently clear to me what you were trying to say! :-) Diliff (talk) 17:55, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Do not try to read my mesaje, just read it Master Yoda. What I'm trying to say, and perhaps in translation joke is lost. Much time analyzing images can cause, see errors where none exist. Like when we look at the sun too long time, you'll still watching the sun while you turn your eyes to otheraway. --The Photographer (talk) 18:02, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

        It is a combination of a visual and mental effect. I remember seeing a movie at the cinema with JJ who is also reviewing images QIC. He spent the entire film criticizing chromatic aberrations, vertical, blurs and trouble shooting. I stood in front of half the movie and I told him, just forget what you know and see with new eyes, like a child.

@Jebulon: Thanks for the opinion; but I'm not sure whether I agree with it. Leaves are their playground, and chances that the "hole" visible on that leaf is also probably their "art". Removing most of that leaf (Clerodendrum infortunatum) may make the picture more beautiful; but I don't think it will improve the educational value. J e e 06:12, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Thank you. No idea at all. I just notice that all original maps of the 16th-century are so. Probably it was not a mandatory at that time. Anyway, we have a "rose-compass" indicating the north (and the east: Jerusalem). @ Alvesgaspar, any help, please ?--Jebulon (talk) 17:18, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not only Paris.--Paris 16 (talk) 19:01, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - It was always a common practise, even today, to orient the urban planes according to the conveniences (that is, the shape of the area, the orientation of the main streets or rivers, etc.). Concerning the larger scale maps and charts it took some time to adopt the north-up standard. For example, in all nautical charts before the Mercator projection was adopted, the geographic names of the places along the coast were written perpendicular to it, thus rotating according to the orientation of the coastlines. Those charts did not have a well-defined orientation. During the Middle Ages, and nearly up to the fifteenth century, the world maps were often oriented to East (i.e. to "Orient", were the Earthly Paradise was located) or to South. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:15, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are different aspects here; the clouds forms a beautiful arch (both in the sky, and in the water) and serve as framing elements for the forest.
