- Oppose I have looked at this image a few times and I really find the composition odd. I think it is unfortunate to put the dominating chimney in the middle (but not quite) and have a lot of forest at the left. I think the image would be much better with the chimney at one of the thirds, the building itself centered and framed by the forest on both sides. --DXR (talk) 17:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- Next to this building there is actually an ox stable (one old photo of mine). That sets some additional limitations on possible suitable compositions. Kruusamägi (talk) 21:02, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- Kruusamägi, the size of your image is a bit too small for a nomination here but the composition of your image is far much better. -- ChristianFerrer 13:43, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

- Support a special picture quite different from what is normally featured. It is a busy picture and a picture that requires the user to spend a bit a time before the wow is revealed.

- Comment The image has been "adjusted" in LR, clarity, contrast, etc., etc., in order to visually represent clamouflaging, or the blending of the croc into the surroundings. When moving it is hard to notice them fast, and while still in the water, they look like a log. Either way they blend in. Tomascastelazo (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose As Rodrigo.Argenton already said it is way too busy. It really took time for me to figure out what is pictured here. Maybe that's the main point of this picture that the alligators are hiding perfectly? Still not FP for me, sorry. -- Pofka

- Oppose I see what the author wanted to show here but the composition is irritating, mainly because the athlete dummy appears to rest its feet on the column behind (which is not possible, nor even wanted on pole vaulting). I’d try to take this either from smaller distance, using a wide angle lens and risk some distortion of the dummy body, or choose a larger distance from a point which supplies nothing but empty (and then unsharp) room in the background. --Kreuzschnabel 08:14, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't find the out of focus areas disturbing at all, they make it look like just a random encounter in the streets, which adds to the "natural" feeling. The tight composition works very well with that as well.

That's interesting, Greenwich Naval Hospital has been on my to-do list for some time now, but I live on the western side of London and never get around to heading that far east! ;-) Did you take any regular interior photos of it too? In any case, the rosette is well done, although a tripod and stopped down aperture might have increased the sharpness a bit. Diliff (talk) 09:07, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Why thank you so mcuh for your support ... now I know how all those tween girls on Twitter feel when Justin Bieber retweets them (But not all of them, thankfully).
Actually, yes I do have some other interiors that have made QI and which I am planning to nominate here soon.
As far as a tripod goes ... yes, I agree. I'm new to finally using a DSLR after shooting with just a DP/S for so long (and having had experience with film SLR, I feel like I've come back home). As I've gotten used to it more, a tripod is part of my plan for next year, as I would ruin less shots with it. And thanks for the tip about the aperture ...
Whenever you get over there, I'd love to see what you do. Daniel Case (talk) 06:09, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

- Support Ok, the sky is overcast and the hour is neither golden nor blue, but the viewpoint is the platform near the top of the dome on the Methodist Central Hall, This only open to the public for a few hours, one day a year on the Sunday of Open House London weekend. So there isn't much chance to choose one's weather let alone choose the time of day. The unique viewpoint and extraordinary resolution enhance the educational value here beyond a QI to give some wow in my opinion. Specifically:
- It shows all 96m of Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower) from base to top. Many photos of this side of the tower are cropped or obscured at the base by the trees, fencing or surrounding buildings.
- The viewpoint is equal in height to the bottom of the clock face, and 400m distant. Therefore, the narrow vertical angle-of-view and perpendicular gaze means that the subject is not distorted, giving a true representation of the proportions and dimensions. Almost all near-view photos are taken at ground level so suffer from vertical perspective issues that can't be fully corrected. Horizontally, the angle is slightly off of face-on, which allows for more than one clock to be visible and to give a sense of depth to the tower -- other high-resolution images of the tower are flat.
- The New Palace Yard with Jubilee fountain is visible from this angle.
- The Union Jack is flying next to Big Ben -- can't get more British than that.
- It is at least twice as detailed as any previous photograph of Big Ben, while also including some of the Palace of Westminster and surrounding area. Overall, this image is 205 megapixels.
- I recommend using the Non-flash viewer to examine the image since the Flash viewer zooms to 200% and limits the quality of the JPG it displays. Can you find Shrek? -- Colin (talk) 14:19, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support has a definition so big that seems to enter in the tower --LivioAndronico talk 21:40, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support Yes I found Shrek and behind him not very far there are traces of purple CAs, but it's marginal. -- ChristianFerrer 09:26, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support Well done! Though the details at 100 per-cent view do visibly suffer from noise reduction, this is not a reason to downscore at the resolution and detail level supplied. Found Shrek. --Kreuzschnabel 09:30, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support. Not crazy about the composition but as you say, the viewpoint is pretty limited in terms of when and where you can shoot from and this is a unique angle. Also, were different shutter speeds used? Big Ben seems to get significantly darker around the clockface, which also seems to be in line with the horizon. Or did you apply a gradient filter on the sky? Either way, seems a bit odd and I've never noticed it being darker in any other images of Big Ben. Anyway, it's the extreme detail and unique location that gets this image over the line for me, and for that reason it's very useful. Diliff (talk) 13:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the support. The shots were all taken fully manual with same 1/500s shutter. I checked and there's no graduated filter used. A couple of small spot adjustments to remove some fringing and moire. I examined some the individual frames that are half-face half-body and perhaps the face is a little darker but it seems a bit more in the final image (with some global exposure adjustments + modest vibrance + clarity boost). My other shot, File:Palace of Westminster from the dome on Methodist Central Hall.jpg, doesn't show a darker face, though the sun is shining on Big Ben in that photo. The clouds were moving across the sky, possibly altering the scene during the few minutes it took to capture all these frames. That other photo was taken just 11 minutes earlier, with quite different lighting. -- Colin (talk) 20:40, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

- Comment This is just a crop of the above. The composition is more focused on Big Ben. But it loses some EV with less surrounding (cropping off Middlesex Guildhall, the status of Boudica, Portcullis House, and much of County Hall). File:Big Ben Clock Face.jpg is an even more extreme crop. -- Colin (talk) 09:40, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose I have looked at this image a few times and I really find the composition odd. I think it is unfortunate to put the dominating chimney in the middle (but not quite) and have a lot of forest at the left. I think the image would be much better with the chimney at one of the thirds, the building itself centered and framed by the forest on both sides. --DXR (talk) 17:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- Next to this building there is actually an ox stable (one old photo of mine). That sets some additional limitations on possible suitable compositions. Kruusamägi (talk) 21:02, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- Kruusamägi, the size of your image is a bit too small for a nomination here but the composition of your image is far much better. -- ChristianFerrer 13:43, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

- @Daniel Case: , Rodrigo.Argenton, the uploader of the image on flickr, Landrover MENA, has uploaded all of their pictures under CC-BY-2.0. You mean we should cross check through OTRS? However the website on their profile page is down for me. --Fauzan✆ talk✉ mail 15:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Fauzan: Just because someone has uploaded under CC on Flickr doesn't necessarily mean they had the rights to do so. Do we know for sure that they work for Rover?

- Oppose. I agree with Martin. I prefer this image to the one you previously nominated because more of the ceiling is visible, but I don't think an off-centre composition works very often in churches. If I was going to go off-centre, I would have gone further to the right to find a more extreme angle. This just feels confused to me, not knowing if it wants to be centred or at a stronger angle.

- Info I'd like to invite everyone to compare this image with the original scan, to see how extensive the restoration was. Also, I should note the scan came out very light for whatever reason: the colours of the restoration are most decidedly more accurate to the actual magazine cover. This restoration took about a week and a half, but I think the results are definitely worth it.

- Info View of the 32 m (105 ft) high and 20 m (60 ft) wide crevice of the Gullfoss waterfall located in Suðurland, Iceland. The crevice extends perpendicular to the flow of the river and is 2.5 km long. The average amount of water running over this waterfall is 140 m3/s in the summertime, but up to 2000 m3/s have been measured.

- Support Dman41689 (talk) 09:02, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose One of problems of wanting "too much in one photo" which then destroy composition. In this case, i would leave church out, its not enligthed, would focus just on rigth part of those 2 bldngs. Bottom option doesnt seem good. I was in same doubt not long ago, better skip some part due to better composition, than to try to get all. Would better work if in dayligth, at least would be illuminated. --Mile (talk) 13:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- I don't really understand why the composition is destroyed though by using an off-centre composition. In this case, it shows the location of the building as it relates to the courtyard and the three dimensionality of it - a sense of its relationship that you don't get from a frontal view. Yes, this results in perspective leans of vertical lines but this is to be expected, and I don't think it is very extreme in this case. I also took this image of the building which is from a slightly different angle and does not include the church spire behind. Do you think this is better? It was taken 4 minutes later but you can see that in that time, the lighting changed a bit and it was darker. I specifically chose to photograph it illuminated at dusk because the building (House of Blackheads) stands out much better than during the day and contrasts nicely against the blue hour sky. Diliff (talk) 15:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Thats one you mentioned definately works for me, should be first alternative. Actually i like off-centre, i hate all those centering and asking PD fine on 40-50 meters high tower, and especially mentioning PD at angle shot... its nonsense. Some are too much up the rules, and not know when is not so goood to obey them. Leaving that high church out, you get some more natural-looking PD correction. I didnt know it have some name-ambient conotation. Worth to rethink. --Mile (talk) 22:24, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Mile, I have re-worked this version (uploaded over the original) to improve the distortion at the edges, and a slightly brighter exposure also. Do you still oppose this version? Diliff (talk) 11:20, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

- Support If I lived in London I could not even take a picture as good like this. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 23:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support I agree that, now having seen the phenomenon with my own adult eyes (I might have seen it when I was younger but not appreciated it fully), that the Thames at low tide is better appreciated in poetry than photography. However, on the whole, yes this is a picture most tourists get—which is why we should have one of as high a quality as we can get. If someone uploads a better one one day and nominates it here, then we can delist and replace. (And what's wrong with a classic tourist pic? I seem to remember we have in the past promoted to FP a tourist standard image of Lower Manhattan). Daniel Case (talk) 05:24, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I don't see them as the same at all though... The detail visible in the Lower Manhattan image is much much higher (12000x3000 resolution, and pixel sharp, compared to 5000x3000 and not that sharp at 100%), and taken from a moving ferry (so had to shoot the panorama extremely quickly to avoid parallax errors), which makes it stand out compared to tourist snapshots IMO (although I didn't nominate it or vote on it!). I just don't see anything that stands out about this image though. My point wasn't that touristic views shouldn't be eligible for FP, it was that this image doesn't seem any better than a tourist snapshot, for me. The baseline for FPs (for me, anyway) is that it is an image that stands out amongst contemporary photography in some way (detail, composition, lighting, aesthetics etc). This image just doesn't have any of that IMO. Diliff (talk) 10:34, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
- Daniel Case, Commons "Delist and replace" isn't like the en:wp one. We don't delist and replace FPs when someone else takes a better one. We only use it when someone has improved the same image (e.g. a better photo of a painting, a reprocessing from raw file). Generally, once an image is FP it stays that way, and we only delist FPs if they are now embarrassingly bad compared to the standard of today. London is a heavily photographed city and we need to compare this to the kinds of photos that appears exceptional. For example, some very high EV with great detail or panorama, or some beautiful lighting due to time of day or weather. Pointing a high-quality DSLR at bits of London isn't enough. It's a useful picture and nice weather but I don't see it being among our finest. We can wait for someone to take a finer one. -- Colin (talk) 10:59, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

- Nothing in the image, or the filename for that matter, tells us this picture was taken in January ... we have to go to the EXIF for that. Or where it was taken FTM—I could take such a picture in the Catskills, near where I live, where such January melts have historically been more common.

But I like it anyway. For what it lacks in technical sophistication, it more than makes up for in artistic appeal. On some level, this just speaks to me ... so plainly and clearly. It does more than speak, actually—it sings. I cannot not hear Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1 (I know, such a cliché) as I ponder this image. It will make a great album cover one day for the right music.

- Do you consider the people sitting at the front to be a good thing? I generally try to avoid people in my church photos, and will wait until it's empty if possible. Not just for aesthetic reasons, but also because these interiors often require very long exposures (20-30 seconds per section is not uncommon) and people tend to move and blur, which often looks ugly. You can see it has happened with the man on the left. From my experience, most churches receive mainly interested visitors rather than parishioners and these people tend to sit at the back and don't stay seated for long, which makes photography reasonably easy if you have the patience to wait, but this church seemed to be a local parish church (albeit quite an impressive one) and there was always a small gathering of people praying at the front of the church so I had no choice but to take the photo with them in it. If people is representative of the church, I don't mind, but when it's just a random tourist picking their nose and staring at their phone, I'd rather the photo without them. ;-) Diliff (talk) 10:32, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
- In this case, yes I do consider the people up front a good thing as they're obviously worshipping. I understand how your way of doing this requires the space be empty, which was another reason this was extraordinary. Daniel Case (talk) 04:58, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

- Neutral It is without doubt an interesting building, even though it could very well also be a railway station if not for the cross (and, well, the missing rails). The image is competently taken from an interesting vantage point, but the light is not very attractive and the size is quite small. --DXR (talk) 21:50, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose per DXR. It’s really nice but since it’s a static subject and (I suppose) easy to take, there’s no excuse for the small resolution. From an FP I’d expect way more detail on the building here. Can’t be too difficult to shoot a panoramic of 4–6 frames here and stitch them to a hi-res photo of this view, which would get my immediate support. --Kreuzschnabel 03:06, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support--Emin • message 18:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support Very good. I don't understand the concerns above. We can't expect everybody to take gigapixel-HDR-panorama-shots just because some frequent nominators create such pictures (which are very impressive, of course, please don't understand me wrong). For me saying a picture could have been taken even better is not in every case a valid reason to oppose. For me this picture is excellent as it is. --Code (talk) 19:14, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I never said it had to be a panoramic, that was just a suggestion. I’d happily support a single shot of 12 or 16 megapixels here. But I expect an FPC of less than 4 mpix to be crisp sharp and well-detailed, while this one is still a bit soft at that small resolution. My oppose is a regretful one for the view is indeed nice. I just point out that any single shot with a lower-class DSLR and kit lens purchased after 2010 would have given a better result here. --Kreuzschnabel 06:39, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

- I was unsure how the blur was created to be honest, as it looked potentially like a thick glass effect. Unfortunately we are highly unlikely to get anywhere asking for the original at this point in time. --Fæ (talk) 08:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose. Per above. At first, I thought the blur could have been done with a tilt-shift lens (focus shifting, which would have been quite an achievement doing this from a plane), but I'm pretty sure Kreuzschnabel is correct, it's artificial. The focal length reported in the EXIF is 52mm and there is no tilt-shift lens with that focal length. Diliff (talk) 12:41, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Great picture but several technical shortcomings make me oppose: Colour banding and considerable chroma noise in the sky, right third of image is entirely unsharp, and the horizon line is bent (which is easily fixable but the other issues aren’t).

- Alchemist-hp if you are going to continue voting against b&w on principle, then I will continue to exercise my right to criticise such biased and weak critical analysis, and to defend others who question it.

- Why? It is up to "The Photographer" of course, but continues to represent a misunderstanding of b&w and our choices as artists. This is his creative choice, not yours. Do you ask everyone who nominates a cropped photo to also upload the uncropped as an alternative? Or perhaps we should nominate the "out-of-camera" unadjusted exposure/colours version as an alternative in case you don't care for the post-processing someone has done? Why not just ask for the RAW and forget about reviewing JPGs at all? This is rude. Please review what you are given in the nomination, or taken your own picture. -- Colin (talk) 22:28, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- Why not? It was only a proposal from me. Have a nice time at our FP side. Regards, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
@Colin and Alchemist-hp: In fact, I support this picture more because we have to have more FPs of Brazil. While there are countries with more than 80 FPs, we have only 32 FPs of Brazil. For me, this number could and should be big and great. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 22:48, 1 February 2015 (UTC)- Comment Oops, I somehow seem to have missed the rule saying there have to be equal numbers of FPs of every country in the world. Anyroad, the point "there have to be more FPs of $COUNTRY" will never make me support. Any outstanding image quality will. --Kreuzschnabel 08:08, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- ArionEstar, this worries me more than prejudice against b&w. I've noticed your frequent "More pictures of Brazil!" comment but assumed it was just an aside. If instead, the locality of the image is your reason to support, then please stop. The collection of FPs is hugely unrepresentative for all sorts of reasons. By all means seek out under-represented images and nominate them if they are of FP quality but our mission is not served by having weak FP pictures of Brazil. If I was a photographer in Brazil, I'd feel cheated if my FP's were known to be inferior to those from photographer's in London, if the reason they are featured was to keep some statistic happy rather than because they are great. Let's compare the images, not the photographers or the countries. -- Colin (talk) 08:33, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

@Colin: Yes, ok. I was wrong. I take that back. Let's again? I Support (The grey alternative version is better. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk)) because this is a great photo. I liked the photo in B&W. But, as RTA said, we also need more photos of Brazil. I am available to The Photographer to nominate great photos (and not bad) of Brazil that I think are great and very good. Forgive me! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 15:57, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
And for prove that I'm not supporting any photo of Brazil without high quality, on 11 January, I will renominate the beautiful and great painting of Brazil (File:Leitura by Jose Ferraz de Almeida Júnior 1892.jpg) that, unfortunately, did not become FP and also help expand the collection of featured paintings of Commons. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 17:45, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- ArionEstar, do not lie: this nomination is a clear example of any crap material that you send/support to FP just because is a Brazilian subject. Even my one, at the time had a ridiculous huge problem, lost of information check between the reflex and the fruit, in this case I could fix, but I am here imagining how many of this will pass... -- RTA 22:59, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

- I'm noway against B&W photography. Jee 12:19, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Strong oppose colour was very important here indeed, because I don't know what a type of work he is doing this type [1] or this one [2], if was the second case... Hell, was vital to have colours, and being in Olinda I could bet money that was the case! More problems, the photo shooter was not align with the subject, generating a sneak photo a-like, creating a disconnection between then. We could see the face with the work just going down, no excuses to that. In this position I can't see his work, I can't get what's going on, his hands are in a position that do not allow a clear vision, looks like more a masturbation scene then a hand crafting... I can't see the face, I can't see were this is happening, and this do not looks a street, for me is middle a "feira", were we have a lot of others artists doing their work... And will this sad felling? He is a f artist, celebrate his work!
- About technical issues, part of this photo is blurred even with 1/200 s of exposition... a lot of graining and noisy areas and is kind of obvious ISO 640 (1/200 + 640 ISO????), and part of the right leg of the artist, how I will explain that, is merging with the floor, probably because the B&W choice, or lack of focus... Is not sharp enough also, not even one single area of the photo have that crispy feeling of a good photo... for THE Photographer, this things should be not even close to happen...
- One observation about this voting, this photo would not received half of the support if personal issues was not in game, some here just vote because is a photo in Brazil (note, I'm Brazilian, and I think that we need more photos of Brasil in FP, but we need incentive better photographers to share their work, or buffer the skill of the locals, not just accepting any Brazilian crap), and others looks like more a support just because another one voted against, as we can see so many mistakes here that not even a QI this image should be!
- -- RTA 12:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- This vote is almost a textbook example of hate-inspired reviewing. We do not need such comments. -- Colin (talk) 21:26, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- You still can't accept other opinions. My advise: unwatch the FP side! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:34, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- No Colin, this is the exactly what you all need, raw true. A lot of images are passing by politics (ie. "U and I together" [above]), not by their quality + importance, and no, this is not hate, I do not have time, and emotion enough to that. You, Colin, put your emotions in your vote, just see your reaction against Alchmist, I just listed all the problems that you all ignored, for strange reasons...
- This image do not exemplify the beautiful work that this artists does, and pass to the viewer a sad story, by a lack of skill and mistakes made, and you are applauding that "Dense atmosphere, well captured." [above], this is f terrible. This have the same weight of a sensationalist news "look the suffer, [I'm not suffering], look the sadness [I'm happy, really happy actually], look look, in Brazil they have to do their art at the street because they are too poor to have a place to work, [I just do here to better share my art]..." And this is the opposite of educational purpose that we have.
- I'm done here, just one more sad they for me in this community, better days will come, better days will come... -- RTA 22:59, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Alchemist-hp, you confuse "other opinions" for prejudice and spite, neither of which are good here. RTA's comments are spiteful, particularly the "masturbation" comment. -- Colin (talk) 08:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- So if we do not agree with you, our opinion is prejudice and spite? And remains true after your talk, you just need stop to look the discussion, and start to see the picture. ;) -- RTA 09:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

- Neutral Brilliant quality of the picture and it is very detailed (over 47 MB), however I find this painting way too ordinary, uncolorful and not interesting.

- Oppose I agree with Hubertl’s assumption and impression but the upper part shows similar ghost contours as the fountain image recently nominated. I don’t know if there’s something wrong with your lens, or the sensor, or maybe there’s a glass filter screwed to the lens which should be removed for full sharpness (there are always the brighter parts affected, could well be reflections in a poorly coated filter). While the effect is minor it still makes the image look partly unsharp, sorry. --Kreuzschnabel 19:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I think, you are right Kreuzschnabel, on the other side it makes me sad, that it needs an 3.500 Euro-equipment (Full format camera plus professional lens) to realize this high claims. I don´t want to question the basic requirements for FP at all, but we both know that in the printed implementation even that would be sufficient as long as it does not have to be printed on A3 size. But this is just an academic diskurs.--Hubertl (talk) 21:49, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment It does not at all take such expensive gear to take sharp pictures. Anyway, two thirds of this image are perfectly sharp. Is it really too much asked to have the third part in similar quality? --Kreuzschnabel 21:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support I think the composition outweighs the technical shortcomings in this case. Technically one probably couldn't do it better with this equipment and it's not too bad at all. Sure, the sharpness could be a little better but I think what counts for FP in the end is a well done interesting idea. That's what I see here. Apart from that, San Paolo fuori le mura is one of my favorite places in Rome.--Code (talk) 05:15, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment To me, the entire result counts – which is a good idea (given here) as well as a really good performance. An outstanding idea might outweigh technical shortcomings of course (for me this is the case with File:Flock of Seagulls (eschipul).jpg, that’s why I don’t oppose that one despite the overexposed right side) but this image would only get my support if it were perfectly sharp at its most interesting part, which is the top. That’s why it’s not outstanding for me. I wouldn’t care if the lower part was slightly blurred though. Just to explain my verdict if you think it’s too hard. --Kreuzschnabel 07:30, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

A rice farmer with clean feet and hands and a fashion shirt ... well, I saw a lot of rice farmers yet, but the atmosphere of this image is strange. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 16:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Dear Sherlock Holmes wannabe, I'm not sure what you're trying to show off here with your doubtful arguments but this guy is a 100% authentic rice farmer. He wasn't working right now as the job was being split with others. Btw, I'm travelling only with a local, far away from other tourists—none of the Vietnameses that we meet on the road do speak English nor have any interest in lying to us. This leaves me with a very interesting critic, thank you. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 00:52, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- The tone of my previous reply is based on the fact that you're not criticizing my photo but a man that you've never met, that you don't know anything about, and that you're judging based on appearances with highly criticizable points (didn't anyone tell you to never judge people by their appearances?), and thus regardless of the experience that you might have with your own rice farmers encounters. This man has been incredibly kind to us, offered us many tips including a cool path to follow accross the rice fields (and buffalos), and even offered us to park our bicycles at his place for free, while inviting us for a drink. We, who spend most of our lives our ass sitting on a chair, really need to have more consideration for those living a much more difficult life. Next time you eat some rice that you probably waste because it's so cheap that you've put too much in your plate, think of all those men and women, like this ~70y old guy, who spend most of their life in those rice fields, when we probably wouldn't stand just one day of it, only to end up with a huge back pain and just enough money to buy a fashion shirt for less than $5 USD. Seriously, unless you're sure of what you're saying, these guys deserve all our respect and eternal thanks by default rather than doubting their lifestyle. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 03:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Is it allowed in FPC to extend an own opinion - even when it is not a supporting opinion - or should I better hide behind the usual "No WOW for me"? Beside that, I cannot see anything in my comment, that is disrespectful to your friend. Take a breath, scroll through my photos and you probably will notice, that I am pretty familiar with the life of people in Southeast Asia --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 04:26, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- I don't mind your oppose, many seems to boycott voting on my photos anyways so any vote is good! I just wished it was based on the photo itself rather than on the argument “I'm sure he's not a rice farmer”. And in my opinion, when you say about a man, who has undoubtedly been a rice farmer for all his life from what I know, that he's not one, then yes, I find that to be disrespectful. But I agree that I've been quite impulsive, as usual. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 04:53, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Alright, I will be more precise: Your photo is not telling a story. You title the man as rice farmer, but this charming man has not the smell of a rice farmer. Title the photo "My driver in Vietnam" or "The lovely barkeeper of our hotel" it would always be the same. So what could you have done? Perhaps let him keep an attribute in his hand - a sickle or a bunch of rice seedlings - or show him among some bags of rice or inmiddle of his paddy. All would be ok, but this photo is not really special about a rice farmer. Or, as I said first: The atmosphere of this image is strange. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 05:06, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough! I wouldn't have been able to take such a picture since he had finished his morning shift. He was in his casual clothes, more or less overlooking the work of the ladies in the fields behind him. Thanks for the extra explanations. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 05:13, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Christopher Crouzet, I can't add a vote now as it is too late. I would probably have supported the new version. I saw the old one when it was nominated and the face lacked contrast like it was under-exposed and had been recovered. So it was a bit "meh". The new one is better. I think the comment by CEphoto, Uwe Aranas was badly worded and can indeed read like he is doubting the authenticity of your claim. I see now what he is saying, and it is a valid point. -- Colin (talk) 10:01, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

- I'm living in Vilnius and this chapel is quite small and has narrow entrance. Taking it from the entrance (center) would make these side (and especially ceiling) decorations invisible and lower "WOW effect". That sarcophagus in the center is with the remains of Saint Casimir. The chapel has two paintings. Left-side painting shows scene when he returned to Vilnius in coffin after his death after some time. When people opened the coffin, they saw that his body is completely not disintegrated (one of his miracles). Right-one (pictured here) is somehow related with his ability to cure people (don't remember the whole story, but it is his another miracle). In my opinion, coffin and at least one of these paintings should both be visible in FP of this place. Picturing it from the chapel's angle is the best solution to capture both of them in one photo. Actually there is no other solution... Furthermore, this picture has brilliant lighting. At times it is quite dark here (depends on the weather outside). -- Pofka (talk) 14:50, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Too distorted --Σπάρτακος (talk) 22:38, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

- Regretful oppose First, I agree with Alchemist-hp. In-flight pictures look odd with stillstanding rotors or props. Then, the framing is too tight, the castle almost being cut off. The image looks tilted CW to me – that can be fixed of course but at the expense of an even tighter framing.

- Support Probably best Vilnius skyline ever uploaded to Wikipedia, especially at night time when it is difficult to catch all these lights without them being blown. Look at the picture nominated below which is captured during day time. It has much lower detail and lighting than this one taken in Vilnius at NIGHT. In this one you can see every building, every window. Most other photos would be 70% black spots. This really is a terrific night shot. -- Pofka

- Oppose, A lot of dust. And weird lightning specially in first two. -- RTA 16:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Dear RTA, it is a natural object in close up. Natural objects aren't perfect and some "dust spots" are visible, but it is real dust on the shell, not caused by photography. I cleaned the shell before, but you have always some dust in the air and so is impossible to get a shell completely without dust - unless you work in a high-purity laboratory. On other shells (like rock snails (Muricidae)) you don't see dust at the surface, but this is caused by the different surface structure of the shell (in which the dust is not visible), not by the absence of dust. Also the surface is extremely smooth and reflective (please compare with other photos of cowries in the www). To verify this, please see [3] --Llez (talk) 22:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
PS: RTA, I'm glad that you only opposed and that you didn't replace my picture during the voting period by another, as you did some weeks ago (see Bad behaviour just to troll or lack of reading? [4])! --Llez (talk) 05:46, 14 February 2015 (UTC)- Just a lot of excuses, as always, ad hominem you will not improve your photos, and if I can take this without a dust how you can't do? And this is a f collaborative community if you can't handle co-work, just put your photos at Flickr and we import from there, no one will properly remove dust spots, as you are not able.

- Neutral Artistically I like it, but it's rather overexposed in most of the brighter areas (not just the 'obvious' flat areas, but look at the detail on the top of the post at the bottom of the left-hand stair). I'm not going to 'oppose' as I'm not a FPC regular, but I don't think it would really be 'usable' at higher resolutions because of the burned in areas. Revent (talk) 21:30, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose like Revent - Artistically - yes, encyclopaedic - no way. just stairs. sorry, D kuba (talk) 22:14, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- D kuba, this is Commons, not Wikipedia. There's no requirement to be encyclopaedic. We have an educational scope but this can be very widely interpreted, including images of "just stairs" taken artistically. -- Colin (talk) 09:49, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose This image might have worked if it was better technically -- it is rather soft/noisy. As a b&w photo the shape of the staircase is emphasised and it is permissible to have extremes of contrast (including blacked-out and blown areas) that wouldn't be accepted in colour. But I'd like to also see the detail in the flooring pattern and ironwork. -- Colin (talk) 09:49, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Just as a 'technical comment', taking the same image with a polaroid filter would probably have helped significantly in that respect. Revent (talk) 11:52, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

But I have the remote control (paid 2 euro I can afford it).

- Why are you yelling?
- You have Adobe Photoshop CC, so you can easily bracketing/stacking photos see and achieve the DOF necessary, and then you can use your sharpest (all lens have a better f-stop, do you know what is it?) any time... it is the same technique to HDRI 2 in 1, and very close to panorama technique.
- And mirror lock up will reduce camera shake, and with 15 EUR tripod this could be even more necessary...
- No, this not the only mistake, you also cut the main arch, and the benches stills in a weird position.

- This is a underline, anyway, after you focus, you can switch to "live mode" this will make your mirror rise up, and you will have the same effect. And yes, but, I can see half of a bench, maybe a step back, just guessing, I do not know the church, and with one more shot a beautiful panorama 2 min most, between take the extra shot and edit at PS.
- One observation, this not a bad photo, I like the composition, the colours, the perspective, I do not know if you missed something in the overexposed window, but not seems the case, and to a church is a interest thing, looks god light, or something like that, but have technical issues that could be solved with small adjusts. -- RTA 11:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

- Info Pipe organ of the Poznań Collegiate Church, Poland. The organ was made by the famous German organ builder Friedrich Ladegast between 1872 and 1876. The piece has 2579 pipes, most of which are made of high value tin alloy and valuable species of trees like: spruce, birch and Siberian fir. The splendid neo-Regency organ case is decorated with sculptures of angels playing musical instruments. The Poznań Parish church of Saint Stanisław The Bishop and The Martyr, built in the years 1651-1701 (and completed around 1750) and located near the Old Market Square in Poznań, is one of the most impressive Baroque sacral edifices in Poland.

- It's not completely symmetrical, as you can see by the step from the nave to the choir/altar. I'm not sure if that's what you're seeing though, or if it's something else. Many of my interior photography is very wide angle, which exaggerates any asymmetry. Diliff (talk) 08:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- To me, it just seems that the right half of the photo appears stretched e.g. compare the left and right side ceiling lines, top and bottom foreground statues and paintings.Fotoriety (talk) 23:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- As I said, it's the asymmetry causing this. It is not the same on both sides, so you can't compare the shape, size and location of equivalent objects on either side. The camera is positioned exactly in line with the central checkerboard squares of the aisle. That is the true centre of the sanctuary. The fact that the statues and pillars are not aligned on both sides is because they are not in equivalent positions, relative to the camera's centre of view. Hard to explain with words, but it's the asymmetry. It looks almost symmetrical, but the reality is that it's just not, and wide angle views exaggerate any asymmetry. Diliff (talk) 02:09, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- That's fine Diliff, i fully understand the asymmetry thing. Perhaps if you had taken the photo a little further behind the asymmetry would have been less pronounced and the image would have been more aesthetically pleasing...Not that 100% of voters seem to mind. :) .Fotoriety (talk) 00:13, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

- "S" for Support They were so proud of the escalator mechanisms in the Lloyd's building that they painted them bright yellow, installed fluorescent tubes to light them up, and enclosed them in glass panels. The escalators dominate any view of the lower-interior of this huge building and I wanted to fill your vision with them too. I think the image is dynamic in composition and in captured movement. -- Colin (talk) 18:27, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support. Technically not particularly strong, but compositionally interesting, and a view of an iconic building that we rarely see. Diliff (talk) 19:01, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Opposesorry, but I only see a fisheye distorted and blurred image. No FP for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)- Not trying to change your mind, but is this, like B&W, another case of 'fisheye = automatic oppose'? Fisheye is a legitimate projection of 3D space onto a 2D surface. It's not to everyone's tastes, but your oppose reason sounds like it's a fault. Diliff (talk) 00:01, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- I remember to a lot of other images with a small distortion and a lot of opposes ... and here? Here is only a distortion visible. For me: strong distortion = a oppose possible. I also wrote: "blurred". The most of the people and the escalator are blurred. My conclusion: distorted + blurred parts = "oppose" for me. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 00:17, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Not all distortion is equal. Sometimes fisheye 'distortion' is a deliberate artistic/compositional choice, sometimes distortion is detrimental to the photo and adds nothing. In this case, the composition would have been absolutely impossible with a fisheye or similarly distorted projection. Also, you may have noticed that I said I wasn't trying to change your mind, I was just trying to understand your reasoning. And yes, the people and escalator are blurred. I would argue that it's not vital in this image that they are sharp. They are transient in the scene. Diliff (talk) 00:23, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- I really don't think that distortion should yield an oppose. It really sounds like the argument of someone who think of photography as a technology show case. It doesn't have to be tack sharp, big, noisefree and straight. Diliff almost summed it all, but I'd add the blurred people is fine because it's motion blur which is way to evoke movement, and certainly not a fault. - Benh (talk) 08:45, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- Info Sunset side view of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Suðurland, Iceland. The waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. All by me, Poco2 20:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

- Question Just curious... Where did that shiny thing in the middle came from? Looks quite unnatural and unnecessary. Probably would look better without it. -- Pofka (talk) 21:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Compositionally it's very nice (would have been even nice to see the edges of the pool though), but the processing is a bit off-putting. The edge where the sky and cliffs meet has a strong halo. It's more obvious in the thumbnail view than at full size, but it's still not ideal. Diliff (talk) 23:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Diliff, Pofka: Better? Poco2 20:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

- Poco, there doesn't seem to be any change to the halo that I mentioned.... Diliff (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Looking at it again, it could actually be brighter next to the cliff because the waterfall's path creates a small gap between it and the cliff, so perhaps it's not a halo. Diliff (talk) 22:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

- And nice to see you using the Nodal Ninja pano head! (although it may not have even been needed for this scene, as parallax would have been negligible at such distances) Diliff (talk) 09:40, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the support Diliff, and the Nodal Ninja of course. I haven't always had success with it -- need more practice but you make it look easy. I agree parallax isn't an issue here but a tripod does make a difference. Pretty much all my shots turn our sharp when I've used the tripod rather than handheld where I usually have to take several spare shots just in case some are blurry. Standing on the pavement alongside the road across Tower Bridge is not as stable a surface as I would like. In the middle, you are on the end of the drawbridge so it vibrates like mad when a vehicle passes -- some shots I took at slower speed were not sharp.

- Support Per above and even better. --DXR (talk) 12:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral - both are very good indeed. The tighter crop makes the buildings stand out better, but I like the "tall sky" of the first picture. The tall blue sky emphasises the vastness of city below. So not indifferent, but pros and cons for both crops. --Pugilist (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral as Pugilist -- ChristianFerrer 14:33, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I guess both compositions are valid—I see the first one as giving a nice and calm feeling, with an extra breathability factor (which I like), while I see the second one as being slightly more aggressive and dynamic. It's up to you to decide what you want to express! -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 16:06, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Aggresive like a lion or like a Trex? or like or as a worker of public social security? --The_Photographer (talk) 18:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps "aggressive" is the wrong choice of adjective (bold, strong, powerful, perhaps?) Still I think the comments are interesting. -- Colin (talk) 19:20, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, poor choice of wording! :) Let's say that in extreme cases, when there's no breathability in a picture, I feel a bit oppressed somehow, which is what I meant by “aggressive”. This is not the case here but definitely more than in the first version for me. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 01:07, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- Comment, Diliff what happened to the closest elements? They are stretched. Just for curiosity, how many photos did you used here? -- RTA 17:57, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- They're simply distorted by the rectilinear projection, this is normal and happens in any ultrawide angle scene. I could use a different projection but then straight lines would become bent and most people prefer to accept some distortion in exchange for straight lines. I believe I used 75 images to create this. Diliff (talk) 18:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- That's what I thought Diliff, so you do not use, like, a 24mm and create a panoramic photo? Another thing, In metadata appears that you used a 10 mm, but I don't know any EF 10 mm that are not fisheye, and in your list of equipment does not appear 10 mm :P, so what lens do you used, the Samyang 14mm f/2.8? Thanks for your time, and contributions.-- RTA 05:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's a panoramic stiched image. I use a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens (at f/11 or f/13 usually), but PTGui puts the effective focal length in the EXIF data, which in this case is 10mm. It's not completely accurate though, because I often crop the image a bit afterwards, so maybe it's more like 11 or 12mm. Diliff (talk) 09:13, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- That's what I thought Diliff, so you do not use, like, a 24mm and create a panoramic photo?

- They're simply distorted by the rectilinear projection, this is normal and happens in any ultrawide angle scene. I could use a different projection but then straight lines would become bent and most people prefer to accept some distortion in exchange for straight lines. I believe I used 75 images to create this. Diliff (talk) 18:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- Support If I may... you look sometimes on the verge of overprocessing (I give it to you that I don't crosscheck all the times). - Benh (talk) 12:26, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- I know you feel that way generally. What aspect of it do you think is overprocessed? The strong micro-contrast is an unavoidable (as far as I know, anyway) side effect of Lightroom's tone mapping algorithms, but different scenes seem to be affected by it to different degrees. Sometimes I wish I could turn the effect down a bit, but I can't. I certainly don't go out of my way to overprocess it because I share your dislike for the overprocessed HDR look. I've just uploaded a new version - I've tried to minimise anything that you might take issue with - the red colour of the wood and the gilded gold are toned down slightly. I've sent the clarity slider into the negative (usually a bad idea!) to try to reduce the micro-contrast. I'm not sure if this is an improvement in your mind but after reflecting on the image, I see the changes as minor but a slight improvement. Diliff (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Sometimes only ;) (I insist). I don't really know how to describe it, but yes, might be a little too contrasty and saturated (this is what I'd tone down). Strangely this is more obvious on the thumbnail, but it looks quite nice when browsed at 100%. The very fine details of the (beautiful !) roodscreen scream HDR a little bit too much. Have you tried processing with only a single exposure and check at the difference? As sidenote, I can understand you can not fine tune your pipeline for each picture given your (huge! do you outsource? ;) ) ouput of pictures. But as we discussed, just nitpicking from me ! - Benh (talk) 17:44, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, single exposures always have a slightly different tonality. I've just tried processing a single exposure and it's similar, but with less micro-contrast (and more global contrast, because it's not HDR). Here it is, it's probably more to your tastes but the overexposed and underexposed areas make it inferior IMO. Diliff (talk) 18:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Benh re your comment about thumbnail vs 100%. Someone pointed out a month or so ago that the thumbnailing code for MediaWiki was performing badly due to a software change (they were creating thumbnails by progressively reducing+sharpening from original to smaller to smaller and so on, rather than always from the the original).

- Just showed the picture to Nicolas (so he knows a bit about HDR and stitching) and his first reaction was "C'est pas une photo !" (let you check your French lessons ;) ). So it's not only me. You guessed right, i like the single exposure one better overall. It doesn't seem to trade off that much compared to the HDR, and looks more photograph. Colin, Good to know. Last time (10 years ago?) I played with MediaWiki, they provided interface to ImageMagick's conv, and if I remember right, the downsampling was done from the original picture and cached somewhere. Don't remember they played with sharpening and all! - Benh (talk) 21:15, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- There will always be 'purists' out there who expect a photo to have a particular look. It's still a photo as far as I'm concerned. :-) Diliff (talk) 22:13, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- I beg to differ. It's not about particular look, it's about something is out of place when looking at an overprocessed picture (like my brain anticipate how reality should like and the picture doesn't match that). To me HDR is for compensating shortcoming of a sensor's dynamic range, not to necessarily recover ALL highlights and shadows to the point reality is broken and it doesn't match any more what the eye saw then. But yes, this one is still (more than) acceptable as a photo. Otherwise, I would happily oppose ;-). - Benh (talk) 23:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- My point was that images from a DSLR frequently don't resemble what a human eye sees either, but many people are familiar with this look and expect photography to look like it, just as many people don't like fisheye or other uncommon projections because it represents a scene in an unexpected way, even though there's nothing inherently more 'correct' about rectilinear. Our eyes don't see a scene in true rectilinear projection but because we scan a scene in small areas at a time, our brain builds up a picture that approximates rectilinear. I agree with you about how HDR should be used and that's also how I try to use it. I never tried to render highlights and shadows as midtones. Dark things are still dark, bright things are still bright, but our eyes do generally see most detail in shadows and highlights so it makes sense to render them viewable at the extreme shadows and highlights of the image. I'm not trying to argue that HDR is perfect or that my use of HDR here is perfect, only that it can represent reality reasonably faithfully (when it's not done badly - full of haloes, oversaturated colours and lacking contrast). Diliff (talk) 11:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- It is interesting that the HDR image is being compared with the single-exposure image as though the latter might be more faithful or the former a deviance from reality. The "looks (or doesn't look) like a photograph" comment says more about expectations than what matters does it not? An artist can choose his interpretation of reality so why not a photographer? While it is useful, if one is discussing how to make an image, to compare different exposures and processing techniques, the comparison of the two falls into a similar mistake as to compare b&w with colour and assume the only faithful transition from colour to b&w is desaturation. My books on b&w photography comment that we are less tolerant of gross alternations of colour images than of b&w images, partly because we have already accepted the latter's disconnect with what the eye sees. But colour has a history too of a conscious choice for one interpretation such as Kodachrome vs Fuji Velvia. There are those who claim to appreciate "Minolta colours" or "Zeiss micro contrast" yet software now lets us fiddle in ways no glass engineer could. What Lightroom Camera Calibration Preset you use can have a marked change on the contrast and colours. The look of this scene will also change dramatically depending on the daylight (strength, temperature, angle) and any artificial lighting. Without being there, it is hard to judge and I don't feel a single-exposure represents anything much more than what Adobe's Lightroom engineers feel is a pleasing starting point for the average photo. That said, there's always the temptation to bring out detail in shadows that really should remain hidden or to tone down the full glare of a sunlit window. Sometimes were are tempted to judge an image by "how I'd have taken/processed it" rather than simply weigh up its strengths and weaknesses for what it is. -- Colin (talk) 12:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Colin this left me speechless as I had to decipher first. I won't go into this many considerations, I lack knowledge, no one cares, and anyways my point was just that to me (and at least to my friend) the picture ressembles a painting more than a photo on the thumbnails, and in some of the finest parts of the roodscreen, hence my comments. Yes where an image ends looking like a photo is debatable. As for me any BW, velvia film and whatever look like photo. Some badly overdone HDR look like computer generated and because I did and saw many of them I can tell the symptoms quickly. But maybe I was educated like that and it's fine with others. - Benh (talk) 22:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- I don't want to distract you from this discussion with Colin, but do you see any improvement in the tonality of the rood screen detail now? I've uploaded a number of updates to it that try to tone down the microcontrast, the initial issue that we both agreed was less than ideal. Diliff (talk) 23:41, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

What was wrong with photographing her laughing? If that's what she wanted to do, you should have let her.

Might not be the best reason to oppose the photo though :) -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 00:56, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
