Oppose -- I agree with Llorenzi though gull's feathers are ... white. Strictly is not even blown but the body of the animal shows almost no detail, probably due to flat lighting. Another symptom is undersaturation: the colors are washed out. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral It's very nice, but two issues for me: 1. (very) minor stitching errors, 2. Framing. I think author tried hard to keep the rightmost tree into the frame, but I'm not sure this brings anything. Instead, I would have put more railroad into the frame. - Benh (talk) 21:07, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- This is a marvelous picture Böhringer, congratulations! I will support it one way or the other but maybe it could be improved by: (i) removing the blown parts of the leaves, e.g. by cloning; (2) cropping a bit on the sides. What I like more is the pattern of the scales on the wings, which is very detailed and sharp. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:13, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think it's the Nth "butterfly mating" FP candidate, and the lighting is a tad harsh. Also we don't really see the mating process (making it suitable for wide audience for sure). But very nice setting and superb composition to me. - Benh (talk) 13:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question Are they actually mating? - Benh (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ -- Highly competitive with the other image available. More resolution and wings more detailed here; but the heads of both butterflies are more visible in the other. The shadows (?) seem bluish to me. I didn't understand that part and the leaf bent; is it bent by you to take the photo? (I know butterflies are very friendly during mating; and I have a shot with them on my finger. ) -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support The picture has the disadvantages of being shot at noon, with harsh light on the leaf and harsh shadows on the butterflies' heads. We cannot tell these creatures when to mate... but perhaps a fill flash would have reduced the shadows on the heads. Gidip (talk) 10:44, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Huh sorry to oppose again, but any reason we have the cropped and altered version instead of the original one with the complete context? - Benh (talk) 13:26, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
First don't be sorry, reviews are essential in the FP process otherwise we just !vote without comment. The original one, is the display context of the museum, I decided to only keep the central part of the artwork (the stained glass window) and remove the window which was too distracting because we could see the window of the museum behind. Note that this window was made for another build (which do not exist anymore). May be my choice is not good, but really I don't think we miss so much with this choice. --PierreSelim (talk) 13:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the context amplifies how good the effect is (by giving element for comparing), but I also see your point. Moved my vote to Neutral after thinking about it again. - Benh (talk) 16:18, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Albatros D.V, Paul Bäumer, Jasta 5, 1917

Info The picture shows the Albatros D.V of Leutnant Paul Bäumer, who was credited with 43 aerial victories in WWI. He flew this aircraft at Jasta 5 in July and August 1917, showing an individual Edelweiss-marking. The image was created using CorelDraw 11 and Photoshop 6 and is based on original WWI photo material. - created by B. Huber - uploaded by B. Huber - nominated by B. Huber -- B.

- Little issue to be corrected: when one click on this thumbnail above, one can see a different picture...--Jebulon (talk) 16:39, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Another little issue... Are the markings/decorations historic? If so, could you provide details on the "geschwader" and such? Kleuske (talk) 14:52, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Of course the markings are historic! It took me quite a while to figure them out, based on WWI-pictures and a lot of discussion with WWI-experts preceds all of my drawings. The aircraft shows the OAW-built Albatros D.V of Paul Bäumer, Jasta 5 who was credited with 43 aerial victories - therefore it has the bright grey coloured primer on the metal parts. Based on original pictures the fuselage was not black - as shown in most older drawings, including earlier versions of my own drawing - but a two-coloured section. The colours i show are the most probable variant. B. Huber (talk) 15:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Great. Could you mention that in the image description? I think it would be of interest to our readers. Kleuske (talk) 15:42, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The issue mentioned above by me is still here...--Jebulon (talk) 14:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that the kind of images i create are not appreciated at Wikipedia. This is my second attempt here and the response has always been very poor. I invest a lot of time and effort in creating these images at the highest standards to provide Wikipedia with historical correct images but if they are completely ignored by the community it might be better for me to stop doing so. B. Huber (talk) 09:40, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- Please be patient, only three days have passed and we are still in the silly season (August). I find your illustrations of very high quality and we certainly need this kind of media in Commons and in ... the FP gallery. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I fully agree with Alvesgaspar. Please notice that there is no oppose vote for the moment. Be patient and don't withdraw. As for me, here in "Commons" (not "Wikipedia"...) your work is great, necessary, useful and highly apreciated. I'm very interested. I'd support this kind of picture with a great enthousiasm and no doubt, if the issue mentionned above were corrected (you did not answer nor correct...). Come on !--Jebulon (talk) 17:02, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Good and interesting, but this should be in PNG to get featured. Yann (talk) 05:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Again: Could you please explain why the section of the fuselage with the edelweiss and the iron cross is BLACK (and not violet and red) when one click on the picture ?--Jebulon (talk) 14:48, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a serious problem of uploading new versions of the same file - and that's just what i did a few ays before i nominated this image. In my experience it takes many days until only the current versions is visible - don't ask me why, maybe it is a problem of the different national server and their communication. Unfortunately there is nothing i can do about it. B. Huber (talk) 19:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Breisach Minster high altar detail (Mary's coronation and God the Father)

Info all by Wladyslaw. This picture shows the detail of a high altar that was made in the 16. century. The chief motive is Mary's coronation and God the Father. -- Wladyslaw (talk) 09:03, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the cut is not random but focused on the main motive of the altar, I can't see distracting shadows (distracting would mean that important parts would be bad visbible, which important parts are so?) as well but a nice malleable impression --Wladyslaw (talk) 14:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I don't need a permession to clarify that this image is showing the most important part of the altar. On the other hand you are setting up a theory (distracting shadows) which I question because it is not comprehensible for me. If you like you can answer my question so maybe I can improve the parts that are really distracting. But I can't see such parts. Thank you. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:17, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support A featurable picture is not necessarily a good picture in the sense that it appeals to the sense of aesthetics or that it is executed with all the lights, bells and whistles of photographic technique. This picture is pretty decent from the technical point of view considering the circumstances. Yes, it has shadows, but the shadows are precisely what give this image texture that reveals the intricacy of the work. The lighting may not be the best, but I think that studio lighting would be pretty hard, considering the logistics of the site. So the best that we can hope for is a good image that describes visually the subject matter, and in this case, even with the crop (you always have to crop something), it is pretty informative in many ways, which is the objective of Commons, to gather images that illustrate, register, capture, etc., etc., material for use in other projects. I am sure that many scholars would find this image extremely valuable. It may not be pretty, exciting, but it informs. It has value. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:08, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Brilliant crop; I checked all the angels on the edges. The only problem for me is the shadow on top left. (May be a different crop possible including the Son (while seeing the whole work); but it is a different choice. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 07:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't like the crop (Jesus and the figures feet are cut off), and the low angle of view (emphasises the stabilising structure in the top left and the shadows). These shadows are really hard but IMO tolarable considering the available light conditions. Maybe you're better of at Commons:VIC --Martin Kraft (talk) 07:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Bad lighting towards bottom of picture, cropped too far, and slightly skewed. Lwebdan (talk) 11:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC) // voting not valid, cf. rules, very peculiar that users appear here after years of inactivity --Wladyslaw (talk) 12:41, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Have to agree the crop reduces the value of this image. If this were a continuous or vast display then I could understand having to crop somewhere rather arbitrary. But chopping Christ out of a Christian alter is rather an unusual approach and it seems to me the three figures are equally important in the scene. Any featured image here would surely be the whole alter. Crops of parts of the scene may be useful for commentary in an article, but not in themselves feature-worthy imo. Colin (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- sorry, but please have a look at the full altar. There is not Christ figure so Christ was not croped out. Maybe you make a conscientious investigation next time. And the argument why a detail picture could not get a FP is not comprehensible for me because we have many examples which refute your theory. --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Taxiarchos228 claims the figure on the LHS (cropped out but visible in the full scene linked above) is not Christ. Well this website tells us "The center shrine shows an astonishingly lifelike depiction of the crowning of Mary. God the Father and Christ hold a crown, beautifully decorated with blossoms and angels playing music, high over Mary's head. The Holy Ghost is symbolized by a dove hovering above the crown." Another website says "Coronation of Saint Mary, main altar, 1523-1526. Signed by an unidentified Master "H.L." Saint Mary between God-Father and Christ, the Holy Ghost above her crown. Left the deacons Saint Stephen and Laurence, right the city patrons Protasius and Gervasius." (the left and right here referring to the side panels, also cropped out). This schematic shows the location of Jesus Christ, Mary and God the Father. The German Wikipedia page goes into detail on the figure of Christ saying (via Google Translate) "The representation of Christ is far less restrained. He also appears with a royal crown and scepter. Sweeping hair and a beard frame a gekrauster his face. His gaze, but his whole body is facing Mary. His deep drooping robe boils over his body and held in place by a double cord. At the same time you can see below the bare chest deep spear at his side." But look, the detail crop next to this article text doesn't show Christ. I did my homework before reviewing this article. Both Christ and God the Father jointly crown Mary in this scene. It is absolutely essential that Christ figures in any featurable depiction of this work. I think I and several other reviewers are owed an apology both for the ill-thought-out nomination and the ill-tempered response to review comments.. Colin (talk) 20:41, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Indeed: I mixed this altar up with an other. The figure is Jesus. The german article and the schematic image was written/ made by me years ago. Jesus is important for the christian religion but the figure of Jesus Christ has not the same importance in cultural reception in art over the thousands of years. This picture shows a piece of art which is a Marienaltar (Mary's altar). This means the main figure of presentation and even of worship is Mary. Jesus and even Godfather has iconographicly just a supporting role. This you can see very clearly because Jesus and God are carved below of Mary, actually God and Jesus are looking up to her and she is not kneeing but well dressed and the absolute center of this event. So why Godfather and Mary and not Jesus and Mary or the three altogether? Three figures would take the dramatic and aesthetic content. God and Mary are facing each other, so my choose was to picture this interaction of this both figures. To put Jesus to an importance that he has definitely not means ignoring the cultural history facts. It's not blemish not to know this important details of the picture but it's a blemish to insist on points that are not reproducing the matter of facts. Therefore this candidature is closed. --Wladyslaw (talk) 21:39, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - The reduction of central compositioned scenery (with Marie surounded by the trinity) to a bipolar composition (with just Marie an God father) alters the meaning and icongraphy intended by the 16th century artist. Therefore it's this arbitrary cut that ignores 'cultural history facts' for some 'dramatic and aesthetic' reasons (I don't approve). --Martin Kraft (talk) 07:40, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        The reduction of this both figures is owed to the fact that the the artist has chosen this both figures facing each other. --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Mary is not looking down at God the Father. Her head is tilted slightly that way, as though she is listening to him, but she's looking ahead/up, at the crown perhaps. As Martin states, the whole trinity is represented here (with the Holy Spirit above). You're entitled to your opinion that Mary/God are the two most important figures and we are entitled to ours that the scene requires all four figures to function correctly. Claiming our opinion is a "blemish" and that we are ignorant (wrt Christ figuring) when in fact we are correct is just plain rude. Colin (talk) 09:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        I didn't said that Mary is looking down to Godfahther, I said they are facing each other because they do so. Please do not interpret clear facts as you thinks best. And the rest of your theory is definitely wrong. You can read all relevant of this altar in Uwe Fahrer et al. (Bearb.), Münsterpfarrei St. Stephan Breisach (Hrsg.): Das Breisacher Münster. Schnell & Steiner. Regensburg 2005, ISBN 3-7954-1649-3, page 44 til 48. --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Well she's not facing him either. For comparison, he is facing her. Quite different. She is facing the front both in terms of her body and her head. Her head is titled at an angle to one one side but is still facing forwards. This really is the most silly discussion I've had all week. Colin (talk) 13:47, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin: Don't waste your time: Wladyslaw will neither accept his obvious misconception nor apologise for his imputations. Somebody who continues to claim all the 'clear facts' for himself, after beeing proved wrong already, won't take any criticism at all. --Martin Kraft (talk) 14:36, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - Of course it is silly, because you're denying obvious facts, even those that are readable in the cited book. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:03, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

<ironie>Of course, literature clearly states, that the only reasonable way to photograph this altar is to cut off two thirds of the trinity, because it is only about this two characters and everything else is just, what the artist did in his spare time.</ironie>Come on: this is nonsense and you know that! --Martin Kraft (talk) 15:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The theory was: is Jesus so important that this figure can not be cropped out. This theory is demonstrably false. --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination it's a pity to candidate pictures where a few expert knowledge is required and those "experts" demonstrate their lack of knowledge --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:23, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Isn't it a bit ignorant to blame us for incompetence, while you yourself negated at least one of the major characters in this altar - cutting away 2/3 of the holy trinity? --Martin Kraft (talk) 07:40, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I already explained. It's not necessary to start a second discussion. --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:30, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is both epic and rather amusing. It also highlights everything that is wrong with this project. 131.137.245.209 13:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Uses who are not brave enough to log in and write their opinion using their real name? Is something wrong with the project or just with single users? I believe Commons is more than a loose collection of users.

Neutral: It's really close to an excellent image, but the composition is a little weird with the top of the tree being cut off and the left area somehow feeling too narrow (not sure why, though). Also has some CA on the bottom and the sharpness isn't perfect. --Julian H. (talk/files) 11:50, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Albertus teolog (talk) 12:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Julian H.'s arguments, but I think the cut off of the tree is really too unfortunate. To me, it is sufficient for a "decline" vote, as it seems that another composition was possible to avoid this issue (less ground at bottom = more tree at top). Sorry. Though not far to an excellent image indeed.--Jebulon (talk) 14:29, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Unfortunately I haven't found a picture of the same landscape that has a better cut. The image is a typical summer Tuscan landscape with hills and cypresses. Raoli ✉ (talk) 15:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm the author of the picture. I think it is good, and I like it, but I don't think it is excellent. In fact I returned to the same place, I think it was a year later, hoping to improve on this shot, just the way Jebulon indicates. I would probably have made an attempt to include more of the field at the left too. I could however, not even have made this one at that time. I have made an attempt at cropping this just above the second tree, and just below the bottom of the first, but I'm not convinced. Haros (talk) 06:39, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment You could use other shots of the same picture to make it better. Perhaps, merging multiple photos can bring in something nicer. Raoli ✉ (talk) 09:45, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Effect of different shutter speeds on photograph. In photography, shutter speed is a common term used to discuss exposure time, the effective length of time a camera's shutter is open. Slower shutter speeds are often selected to suggest movement in a still photograph of a moving subject. Fast shutter speeds freeze a moving subject on photograph.

Oppose It's very nice, but something looks wrong about the tones. It's too bright maybe, and I see haloing on the thumbnail. - Benh (talk) 16:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Benh. Looking at the intersection/cloverleaf in the centre of the image, i very much get the impression that it's la nuit americaine in reverse. The city was much darker than this image suggests. This is actually a very overexposed night-shot trying to be a day shot. Kleuske (talk) 15:07, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support For the novelness of it. I would like it if the author didn't push the HDR quite so much (haloing, strange tones, etc), but then I guess it wouldn't be novel. Badon (talk) 08:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Partly a very good and interesting photo, but the overexposed parts around the intersection ruin the picture for me. -- Achird (talk) 20:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info Train 22 Kyzylorda - Semipalatinsk near Aynabulak, Kazakhstan. Unfortunately the railways in large parts of Kazakhstan go through boring, flat terrain; the best we could find was some hilly terrain here and there, such as this river valley.
Info This passenger train has 20 cars, which is way longer than what we see over here in Europe (14 cars max), and is about 550 meters long.

Comment A WLM image - will it actually count in the competition? - A.Savin 18:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I really don't see any problem here. QI and FP have no connection with WLM. Please read WLM rules. --Ivar 18:41, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Donna know about the rules sorry, but in order to provide an unbiased jury decision and fairness to other WLM contributors it would make sense to wait until the national results have been published... For instance, articles taking part in the German writing contest, are not allowed to candidate for featured/good articles before winners stand firm (and yes, I must admit that even German WP sometimes has rules which make sense ;) ) For my part, I will refrain from nominating any of my WLM uploads on FPC and even on QIC for the moment (though the latter is just a quality seal, without having much to do with WOW factor etc.) - A.Savin 19:17, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info all by Wladyslaw. This pictures shows the Goetheanum, the world center for the anthroposophical movement in Dornach, Switzerland. This aerial view allows a great view at the unique roof construction. Otherwise it is very difficult to capture. But this picture was also a challenge for the pilot who circled two times around the building and moved at the entry lane of the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. So he had to fly very carefully and considerate. I think the result is worth seeing. -- Wladyslaw (talk) 06:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

don't know how it was cropped, but if you could add more room on the right and below, I think it would be slightly improved. - Benh (talk) 15:44, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the reason for this crop was that I don't wanted to have an other house at the bottom of the Goetheanum. Basically I have enough material to add more room to the right and below. I will try it for myself; if its better I'll upload a new version. --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:02, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:23, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Loads of detail? Not very sharp? Which is it? Follow the lines in the "uninteresting" and "not enough subject" parts. What do they lead to? Clouds, mountains, cars, leaves - they all lead to the subject. These are principles taught in the first day of art classes... Pocksuppet1999 (talk) 10:05, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The word "details" has two senses: 1) objects; 2) clarity. Kleuske is saying that there are objects that affect the composition negatively, such as cars. It is not being used in the sense that the image is too clear. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:24, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Obvious stitching error on left part of the building (Stitching doesn't seem to be taught in art classes ;-) ). Strange placement of the main subject also, and very poor quality. - Benh (talk) 13:07, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Due to the distortion, the perspective is a bit strange, but that makes it interesting imo. I also like the composition, how clouds, tree, cars etc. are quite nice arranged around the center. Unfortunately, it is too blurry, so there is at least a technical issue preventing a positive vote from me. So don't be discouraged, in general, that's a nice pic.--Taraxacum (talk) 15:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elymnias hypermnestra race caudata, female

Info Elymnias hypermnestra race caudata, female. The Common Palmfly, Elymnias hypermnestra, is a species of satyrid butterfly found in south Asia. This butterfly species is dimorphic, males and females do not look alike. Males exhibit black colored upperside forewings with small blue patches and reddish brown color on upperside hindwings, while the females mimic butterfly species of the genus Danaus. All by me. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 09:37, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know how to blur some part of an image. And the leaf is a bit big to clone out; I afraid. Anyway I will make an attempt tomorrow. And what about this tight frame; my old style? -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 03:59, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded my edit here: File:Elymnias hypermnestra female 2 by kadavoor edit.jpg. Unfortunately, it seems that we are using different color spaces, hence the wrong colors in my edit. What color space are you using? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:42, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I checked in my home computer and didn't find any color difference; so the edit is fine to me. I just used Picasa to correct the brightness only, didn't touch the colors. I don't know terms like 'color space'. Thank you for the edit and you may add it as an alt. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 13:44, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there's nothing "wrong" about the colors per se; they just look different on my computer and I wanted to see if that bothers you. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This picture really is not about the vase, but of everything. The depth of field is too great creating an everything in focus effect, visually distracting. The proportion of vase/surroundings does not appeal to me, and centered composition of main subject, the lighting is flat. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 12:15, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Trivial centered composition, oversaturated and globally overprocessed (I suspect the clarity trigger in Lightroom was pushed a bit too far). Par Tomas for depth of field issue.

Support I like everything in focus. It would just be a meaningless object without the context.

Oppose That's the bridge (Puente Don Luis I) we voted to be featured a little while ago. Kleuske (talk) 09:12, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're right. You can see a part of the shadow of the bridge that became FP a few days ago. I thought that it'd be no problem, because the subject and lighting are different. Actually, this picture is from the bridge, Poco a poco (talk) 11:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the problem, the problem is that this picture isn't as good as the other one. The shadow's a problem and the not very appealing composition is another, lack of a clear subject is the most important. There are beautiful pictures in the view, though. Stick on a telelens and try to focus on _one_ of the many details in there. There's a moorish wall, which doesn't get the attention it deserves, there's houses and stairs glued to the slope which make wonderfull compositions, a nice front of houses, etc. Kleuske (talk) 15:05, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Angle of view. Here we prefer to keep the butterfly flat to the sensor to get maximum sharpness (considering the EV). I like this AOV, looking straight at me; but back is far from the camera and out of focus. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment tending to oppose: the sky looks really unnatural...--Jebulon (talk) 15:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's ok, if you do that. The sky looks dark due to use of polarizing filter. I was trying to reduce sun's reflection from the bright building and didn't notice the problem with the sky (I'm still entirely an amateur). --Ivar (talk) 18:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think you have only increased contrast between building and sky. Polarizers don't work like magic and only reduce reflections on specific conditions. It's recoverable, if you use good software, it's easy to brighten only blue color (and not channel). I could do it, but better from RAW imo :) - Benh (talk) 19:16, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support For me the breaking of the "rules" is what gives this photo its wow. The composition is good. By contrast the somewhat messy background is making the front of the train quite serene and yet powerful. It's a bit like a divine being plunging through the chaos. In this case it's the chaos of the bottle-neck at Riddarholmen in Stockholm. -- Achird (talk) 09:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I don't want to oppose you again ;-) and it caught my eyes. But:

Hi Benh. It's find to oppose – FP's are not an ultimate goal to me.

I would try another crop and get rid of that foreground, It's too small to add a context IMO, and a symmetric composition might serve the picture better,

Foreground stuff and non-symmetric composition is often considered a standard for scenic pictures.

I'm a bit sad about that factory on the left side which ruins the "wild" feeling of the place,

I know, but I find that deleting a building is not like deleting a trivial branch.

Looks like NR smeared details away,
I would look at the apparent tilt (to the left) issue,
that's all folks!

Sorry for being a bit picky ;) - Benh (talk) 22:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot the many white stains on the water... what are they? - Benh (talk) 22:58, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I used a polarizing filter which tend to darken the sky (and water) unequally.

I will see what others might say and will work out an alternate version accordingly. --Cephas (talk) 14:50, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I didn't ask the factory to be cloned out, just said that I was sad about it being there... I'm also against manipulations which just alter reality.

Comment "Unethical" or "I don't like to support this" are no arguments for determining FP-worthiness, imo. Pictures of war, environmental pollution and similar things are hardly ever something you want to support, yet they definitely belong here. --Julian H. (talk/files) 11:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "Unethical" is very much a criteria to be FP or not. Yann (talk) 13:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Since when? Consult Ye Guidelines and tell me where the requirement is. Besides, what's unethical about either the image or the catcopter? Is an image of a pair of leather shoes unethical, too? If so, why, if not, why not? At least this cat died on its own, not helped by a butcher. Kleuske (talk) 13:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Wow? Yes, it shows a lot about stupid ideas. Educational value? To me, it is bordering to be out of scope, except to show said "stupid ideas". But even for that we have better images. But I think it is already a dead horse as FP. Yann (talk) 05:59, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Well, that's the best catcopter picture I've ever seen. Not aesthetic, but definitely wow! And as it tells a lot about humans, it also has some educational value. --Taraxacum (talk) 15:45, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you give one or two examples of educational value and what it tell us about humans?--G Furtado (talk) 17:28, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - 1a. It's an image of a quadcopter, 1b it's work of art, showing how the concept of Art has changed since the 19th century. 2) people react very differently to skins of (say) cows or pigs, than to skins of cats, basing the difference mainly on the "Aaibaarheidsfactor", the animals (perceived) cuddlyness. Things that are no problem when you do them with pigskins are a problem when you do them with catskins, even though the pigs were deliberately killed and the cat was not. Kleuske (talk) 18:11, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've no problem to reuse the skin of pigs, cats or of even humans; but this wildest way to transform a cat to a Flying squirrel hurts. BTW, I added some description and category to improve the document. Saw the other picture too. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 06:30, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info Aethaloessa calidalis. The adult moths of this species are black, with large overlapping orange spots on each wing. The thorax is black and orange. The abdomen is orange with a black tail. The species occurs across south-east Asia and Australia. All by me. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 09:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I expect an instant oppose due to the shaky antennas; but the way how I captured her still makes me smile. It is a very small moth hovers over the grass (never above 1 foot) to collect nectar from the flowers of various grass and herbs in the evening; otherwise rests under the grass blades. I usually find them under my feet and chase them on my knees. It is very fast from flower to flower; and is painful sometimes when I’m over the touch-me-not plants. And this is the best I got after several days and hours. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 09:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Expecting the animal to hold still seems a little unrealistic. Instead the movement lends the image a some action, which i like. The rest is nice and sharp, although the "Yet Another Butterfly"-feeling remains. Kleuske (talk) 10:49, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A cross of Lorraine, in the forest of the trois pignons (three pines?)

Info all by myself! -- Benh (talk) 21:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Info The hiking path of the 25 hills (sentier des 25 bosses) may be the most famous around Paris. Some (like me) consider it to be difficult (15km, and we walk up and down 800m) and many parisians come here when they seek a training before a more serious trip (or simply to take a breath of fresh air not too far away from Paris itself!).
Support Not super sharp and all, and there are people in it, but I like the lighting a lot. Maybe we can say that the people give sense of scale without being to intrusive. -- Benh (talk) 21:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unfortunately, the f/5.6 doesn't do it for me. The unsharpness at the bottom is fine because it's hardly noticeable, but the unsharpness at the top of the monument is quite glaring. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:49, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it's only about sharpness, notice this happens mostly at corners and that's partly a lense issue, which I can't do much about (beside some careful sharpening, I will try). Is it this dramatic when not viewed at full size but on a (even large) canvas instead? I have other pictures with sharper cross and no people, but I like the framing of this one better. Will see if worth a rework or upload alt. (not many feedback for now!) - Benh (talk) 08:33, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I strongly suspect this hasn't to do with f/5.6, which is quite narrow for APSC 10mm and would be like opening at f/9.0 on FF 16mm regarding depth of field. - Benh (talk) 08:44, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oui, c'est plus dur quand c'est contre soi ;) Mais j'espère que mes critiques sont objectives et sans mauvaise foi. J'essaie aussi toujours de souligner lorsque c'est subjectif. Sur l'éclairage, je suis contre l'éclairage "plat" où tu ne distingues pas le relief et le volume de ce que tu prends. Mais c'est plus affaire de goût, passons sur ça... mais pas sur les gens qui critiquent la netteté pas dramatique d'une image de 18mpix, je trouve ça assez nul... d'autant plus que ça n'est pas la première fois que ça m'arrive. Et puis, une FP ne sera bientôt plus qu'une image nette et rien d'autre... Combien de critiques "génial, l'image est trop nette. FP" et rien d'autre ? À part ça, ça roule. J'espère que toi aussi, et que tes vacances ont été bonnes ;) - Benh (talk) 17:40, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- The resolution is fantastic, allowing one to closely examine the object to a degree I suspect no visitor to the museum can do. For the purposes of displaying these exhibits freely online I encourage more of these high-resolution professional-quality images.

Oppose – The tight crop undercuts the intended effect of this image. Some viewers may even see it as photographic bias, imagining that the scene might improve outside the small frame. It would serve nicely as a part of a photo essay, but on its own it doesn't match the scope of its topic. This would make a very good foreground for some larger picture, one which apparently could show a stunning view of pollution around the lake.

Oppose -- A fairly uninspiring view of this monument, with the flags partially obscured by trees and a crane in the foreground. The image suffers technically from the compact camera's tiny sensor and high NR removing detail. It is fairly easy to find better examples on Commons. For example, File:Washington Monument, Washington, D.C. 04037u original.jpg has much better scenery and File:Washington Monument Dusk Jan 2006.jpg is technically superior.

Neutral Looks great in smaller size but lacks a bit of sharpness at 100% Poco a poco (talk) 18:01, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Considering this is a full-size 5MP image from a 10-year-old bridge camera, it is pretty good technically. I don't think the lack of sharpness is an issue -- we're too used to seeing downsampled 16MP images. If you downsample this one to 2MP it also looks sharp. The composition is good, with the women, nets and wheat forming an interesting scene. But the camera just failed to catch the top of the stick and the stems of wheat on the RHS are distracting. I think it can be improved with a crop Colin (talk) 20:25, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Insufficient quality - lack of sharpness, visible lens flare, stitching errors, chromatic aberration. --Ivar (talk) 15:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The sharpness is fine: everything's in focus and the hills in the distance would be expected to be a little hazy on a sunny day in September. Remember this is a 115MP image, so pixel peepers should think again. There is some lens flare, which is a shame, though it would be hard to avoid given the position of the sun. But there are numerous stitching errors and people repeated. There is some CA on the RHS building which should be fixable. The building isn't vertical and, assuming a program like Hugin was used, would benefit from some vertical control points. The uneven sky makes me suspect a polariser was used, which isn't a good idea for super wide angle shots. The overall scene isn't that inspiring and I wonder if a panorama taken from another position would be more interesting. Colin (talk) 18:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nest photographs: while good for science and documentation, I believe they shouldn't be encouraged for photographic merit. Photographing around a nest does cause unwanted disturbance to the bird and may attract predators which is why nest photographs are banned in most popular bird forums and photography contests. On a purely photographic merit, I believe it could have been better with the full nest in the frame. Yathin sk (talk) 09:53, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nice picture, strange animal. But it seems quite noisy, maybe a denoising will help? Tomer T (talk) 15:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That would be nice. It is rather noisy, but i guess you can't take pictures like that using large(r) f-numbers and low(er) iso. This is about speed. To me, it's a pretty good trade-off. Kleuske (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Quite small (barely meets criteria) and noisy (considering the top notch hardware it was taken with...), with little details left on the subjects themselves. Selective NR on background would help. But a better NR on the whole pic can probably be achieved. I like the catch and framing, so I will definitely support if this is improved, which should be easy. - Benh (talk)

Eerrh... it's at least as sharp as if no more than your macro below, and at a far bigger size... But at least it's "only" a neutral ;) - Benh (talk)

Please don’t compare a macro (subject size=1sqr. cm.) with a telephoto (400mm) or wide-angle and don’t forget to oppose my works if they feel inferior to you. And if you entertain arguments, it is not my business here. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 14:05, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We're here to discuss, in good faith, and when something seems wrong, I open my mouth. I don't see why I wouldn't compare a macro and a tele, sharpness applies to any pic. U don't encounter DOF in your macro as far as I can tell so there's no mitigating issues, and I could point you to hundreds of sharper macros on Commons... And I didn't oppose because it wasn't unsharp to be point I felt like so. - Benh (talk) 14:22, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I too like discussions as far as it is friendly and help to prosper. Here it feel a bit negative as “my image is better than yours” because the low quality of my work no way help to improve your work. No problem now; I may be a bit disturbed at first glance. Sorry. Coming to the point: I usually compare images with exact same subject even available outside Commons. Here with [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9]. Hope it helps. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 06:54, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No no, no such thing as my image is better than yours. I've tried a bit of macro pics and I think I realize how challenging it can be. But "my image is sharper than yours", yes, definitely. It's objective thing. My hardware helps too, so nothing about skills. Just that I'm sick of seeing 2mpix pictures being considered sharp, and 18mpix pictures seen as "a bit soft" (more true for the below nom). We must compares things fairly. At this rate, I'll just downscale my pics to 5mpix before submitting and I'm sure that many "qualified" reviewers will suddenly "wow" at the sharpness. Notice all the examples you refer to are less than 3mpix, with the exception of the 4th which is the closest to 18mpix, but which is not (edit: much) sharper (which is what we talk about). But yes most do have more wow factor than this one imo. - Benh (talk) 09:08, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not many people upload original files on such places; but they are good for comparing lot of other factors. And some of them are taken at 1000mm which is not affordable to many. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 10:29, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The front bush too distracting. I imagine making these lions watching a sunrise, however, lions or profile located laterally.

Oppose This is a nice picture but I don't see any exceptional value that places it above numerous other quality images on the wiki.

Oppose Will end up as a minority. It's a good photograph, but not a great photograph IMO. I feel the light is too flat and there's too much distraction with the foreground plant and the background leaves without a nice bokeh. The highlights are also close to being blown out. The cats in the front and back are out of focus just enough to make looking at the image difficult. Still, a very good picture. :) Yathin sk (talk) 09:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Never realized the left one was actually in front ;) Also, flat light would be when it's evenly lit. Here we have morning lighting coming from the side. It's fine that you don't like it though (albeit disappointing to me of course) - Benh (talk) 16:35, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tend use flat very broadly. Late morning, early evening light in tropics tend to be a lot flatter (or harsher if you prefer) than in higher latitudes; It's unfortunate because there's only half an hour or so around dask/dawn with that angled light. Sorry about the disappointment but I the reasoning behind my vote. Ultimately, the person who matters is photographer himself/herself -- if you're happy with what you've shot then it's a fine photograph, no matter what anyone else says! :) Yathin sk (talk) 17:28, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatives

I used the original files to generate two versions with less / less apparent noise. The crop is a bit less tight but that could be changed easily.

This one uses the same blending method, but is less noisy (but darker)
This one uses an overlay blending method and is therefore also a lot less noisy, but shows detail in different areas.

Oppose Far too harsh, take it easy on the brightness/contrast controls. There's a creepy, floating left arm on the right side of the picture, and, rejecting the hypothesis you may have fotographed a ghost, i surmise it's a stitching error. Kleuske (talk) 17:04, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's FP to me but it has too much CA. As per above, it is oversharpened. Please correct. --Murdockcrc (talk) 17:07, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for your reviews. Ok, you have convinced me. I have reduced sharpness by 1/3 and looked for a better CA rework (which I couldn't see at 100%) Poco a poco (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To me the jaggy lines are still there. And it still looks overall over sharpened. Not too big an issue, because hardly noticeable if viewed at as a whole, but a bit of a disappointment because it's easy fix. I don't think there are CA, but mostly artifact of the over sharpening (and since you now use LR4, you probably use the auto CA correction feature). - Benh (talk) 22:39, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you still tell me that you see jaggy lines, then I would think about looking for a new hobby Poco a poco (talk) 22:59, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SupportI think that this picture deserves more than only this interesting debate... It is a FP for me.

Info Junonia lemonias, also known as the Lemon Pansy, is a common nymphalid butterfly found in South Asia. The Lemon pansy is a very active butterfly and can be seen basking with its wings open facing the sun. It sits very low to the ground and can be approached easily. It feeds with its wings half open. It is a fairly strong flier and flies close to the ground with rapid wingbeats and often returns to settle back in the same spots.

Neutral Neutre car sinon c'est "contre". Grosso modo pas de "WOW". Et bien sûr, je ne suis pas fan de la lumière. Étrange choix de format (presque carré ??) aussi, et je ne suis pas sûr de saisir l'idée derrière la composition ? En tout cas les vacances ont été bonnes on dirait ;) (No wow, not fan of the lighting, and strange format ratio. I'm not sure to get the idea behind the composition) - Benh (talk) 17:45, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Is really an idea needed behind the composition ? I'm afraid we will disagree everytime about the question of the light in photography...why must light be always soooo complicated to generate a "wow" ? Cette photo a plus d'un an, j'ai pris d'autres vacances depuis... Qui ont été bonnes aussi, d'ailleurs ! On déjeune ensemble, un de ces quatre ? -Jebulon (talk) 19:01, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oulah oui, pas vu la date... et je me disais bien que cet été était plus "péninsule hibérique". Pour le déjeuner, la suite par mail ;) For light, I think that a more side lighting emphasizes volume and textures, in addition to giving a moody atmosphere. We won't agree because it's mostly personal tastes matter I guess. - Benh (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I love the colours and the scene. But this projection hasn't worked. A cylindrical projection should be possible where the verticals are absolutely straight and the horizontals through the building are also. Looks a bit over sharpened too. The perspective on the RHS building is quite extreme, which might be unavoidable if one is forced to take its picture from close-up, but if you can stand further back then a much more natural perspective should be possible. -- Colin (talk) 18:57, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose overdone perspective distortion correction (I know it's straight, but at 6mm it doesn't look good now and it's unsharp at top). I don't like the (clinched) crop either, the cut off windows on the left and right are disturbing. I'd prefer at longer focus length (for less distortions and a more blurred background).

Support But I've some doubt about the sex. I can't see the secondary genital below the thorax as here. Further I think the male would have more yellow thorax and tail. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 08:12, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May be, but if it is a female then the thorax should be pale green which is yellow here. Might be due to aging the tail looks like that? Thank you for your opinion. If you are sure about the sex you can change it in the description. --JDP90 (talk) 08:45, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thorax (the part between head and abdomen) is pale green here (male has also a yellowish green colour). Yes; the tail shows some aging; but the golden brown colour instead of yellow is another property of female. I think an expert can (i'm not; but hope somebody here) easily tell the sex by checking the genitals. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 09:46, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I realise always two category of pictures : when the weather is sunny et without clouds, I take photos in coulours. When the weather is bad (like here), it is always photos in black or white. For me, a photo in coulour with a bad weather is ugly. A photo with a bad weather but in black or white is like an archive image. (if someone wish the explanation, more precise, in French...).

Support to see all these favorable vote I wonder if its leaves can be smoked? --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:31, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Everything can be smoked, matter of taste, if you don't know, ask a specialist ! Nice variations on the green color, nice and great picture.--Jebulon (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Colors are great, and as thumb looks amazing but there are noise issues and some blurry areas, Poco a poco (talk) 19:00, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Isn't that in acceptable amount for underwater photography? Tomer T (talk) 00:01, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your comment made me reflect on it, and my answer would be: "I am not sure". I don't have much experience with underwater photography and therefore I cannot judge -as maybe others can- were is the acceptable noise threshold, therefore I take back my vote for now.
