Comment - The bottom 3/4 of the photo including the mushrooms is lovely, but the rather aggressively blurry background at the top of the photo does nothing but injure its quality. Please crop the photo just above the topmost mushroom, or I may consider voting against this picture even though I love the mushrooms. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I would endorse Ikan's crop suggestion. Daniel Case (talk) 23:40, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support the crop suggested would be fine with me though I don't insist on it. The bokeh is decent enough. A blurry background / shallow DOF is pretty much unavoidable in this case. This is a macro shot (or very nearly) and the photographer did stop down to f/16... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:52, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If you consider the bi-directional reflectance distribution of water and the radiance of those gas discharge lamps, then you'll realize it's not possible to make the reflections not blown out.

Support However the right part has a 1° clockwise tilt. Some vertical control points might help. -- Colin (talk) 20:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question - How can you tell it has a 1° clockwise tilt? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan I take stitched pictures myself so have an eye for the possible flaws. The easiest way to check verticals is to open the image in a simple viewer like IrfanView and draw a selection box (with that program, one can also move the box around with a right-click-drag, making it a ruler one can move about). Then find some parts of the image that should be vertical. The edges of buildings, window frames and in this case, the really tall lights are useful. Lights can be tricky as they taper and also smaller street lights are very often wonky. The writing "THE CANADIAN FISH" is also not straight and probably should be as it is perpendicular to the camera direction -- though one needs to be careful with horizontals and only really trust verticals. With IrfanView, a -1° rotation fixed the right-hand-side. The left side is fairly true, so this looks like a small error in the stitch. Dllu uses Hugin to stitch and this program allows one to mark certain points as being vertical, which helps the software line things up. Here, the error isn't big enough for me to oppose. -- Colin (talk) 08:12, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm impressed by your keen observations. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:18, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support Isn't it amazing what those Canon sensors can do? Usually that shade of blue in the sky is (to me) a yellow flag that there might have been a little too much processing, but this time it's the real deal. Love the result ... it brings back very old memories of visiting Athens. Shame the Parthenon's all scaffolded up, though. Daniel Case (talk) 01:52, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Daniel I'm curious why you praise Canon sensors here, unless as a little joke? Adobe probably has more influence in what colours you see than Canon. I assume this is a downsized-stitched panorama. Even a six-year-old entry-level DSLR with plastic $100 prime lens is capable of generating a picture like this (e.g. this photo). It's the photographer who makes the photo; Der Wolf im Wald should get your praise, not Canon. -- Colin (talk) 08:47, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The lack of details (noise, processing, DoF) mean one can't really see the mosaic or the relief along the edges. It looks like there's been a struggle to manage the dynamic range of the scene, particularly around the the wall lights. Perhaps, rather than go for a symmetrical arrangement, an off-centre view (like File:Novokuz-mm.jpg) would allow the central lamps to feature and lead the eye. -- Colin (talk) 17:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I see the problems the others are seeing, but I am not feeling inclined to oppose this photo because it's an excellent motif and well composed. However, it is a problem that whereas the photo looks good at full-page size, it suddenly is greatly damaged by toggling it to full size. As Colin addresses above, I think it must be technically quite challenging to deal with the bright lamps in the center of the floor and get good resolution on all the decorative elements simultaneously. I hope there's a good way to do it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:18, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - To me, this is a great photograph, taken under very adverse circumstances (OK, it was summer, but still!). I guess I may not be that skilled at seeing oversharpening, but is it really that drastic? Perhaps it could be corrected. By the way, I did a Google image search on "penguins in snow" and did see other pictures in which penguins had part of their bodies in the snow, so I don't think that's so odd. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:41, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral In my opinion disturbing noise in the background.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:41, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's funny: I find a lot of the bokeh that most of you like a lot more fuzzy and disturbing than this noise, which I ascribed (perhaps incorrectly) to a focus on the nearby penguins. I see the noise some at full size but at full-page size, it doesn't bother me and just looks like a background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:15, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Can't see anything in there that would suggest that the image content has been manipulated, especially when viewed in context with the other pictures of that trip at Flickr. Yes, it's a bit noisy when seen at full resolution, but you could easily print this at A4 (or possibly even A3) without noticing. I'd welcome the slight tilt to be corrected, but as it's hard to recognize I don't really care. All in all: Awesome picture. --El Grafo (talk) 16:53, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak support Only because the penguins (which I think the image creator overprocessed the image as a whole to get so sharp, hence the skepticism above) came out so well and it is really difficult to get this sort of shot for any animal in the wild. In addition to the noise issues, the background has a lot going on; only the crispness of the penguins keeps it from being too much of a distraction.

Comment - I'm not sure what to think about this photo, so I'll just describe it: The flower, which is at the middle of the picture frame, is very clear at full size - which is way bigger than life-sized - except for the outermost parts of the petals, which are still clear. The crumpled-up blue/purple flower at around 10 o'clock past the flower is moderately clear. Leaves are visible, but the rest of the photo is pretty much of a blur. I guess the photo is OK, overall, at full-page size, but I'm not really sure what the blurry ground adds to it, other than a general sense of place. I suppose others will consider that this picture should be featured because it's such a clear photo of the flower, and for an encyclopedia, that's good enough. I'd probably prefer a very close-cropped photo that concentrates on the flower and eliminates most of the blur, but I suspect most other reviewers on this site would consider that a bad composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Sorry, too much of the bird is blurry for me, even at full-page size (which doesn't actually produce a very large view because the picture is not wide from left to right). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:56, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cephas please can you embed an sRGB colour profile into the JPG. The image is tagged sRGB but unfortunately browsers ignore this if there's no corresponding profile embedded and then on a wide-gamut monitor the colours look far too vivid (see User:Colin/BrowserTest). I hope there is a setting on your Canon Digital Photo Professional to save with a sRGB profile. -- Colin (talk) 08:49, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's a really well taken image. My thoughts are mainly with the processing. In addition to what Colin said about the profile, it looks like it could do with noise reduction (at least on the background if not on the bird itself). It's a shame that there's a lot of blur but I could forgive it in this case. Diliff (talk) 14:10, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Five antennas of the Australia Telescope Compact Array, near Narrabri, NSW. Photograph taken in the early 1980s, during the late stages of the construction process. Long exposure, lit by walking under the antennas with a flash. You can read more about the taking of this image on page 10 of this document. This is the photograph of the ATCA, used in old CSIRO media releases, so along with its historical and aesthetic value I think it deserves featuring.

Info The famous roofs of Quanhua Temple, located in the Lion's Head Mountain Scenic Area, Taiwan. It was a foggy afternoon, shortly before dusk, not quite the conditions you hope to find at such a place. However, it turned out, that the greyish background acted as a surprisingly suitable, undistracting contrast to the colours and filigrane details of the roof decorations.

Support@Ikan Kekek: Perhaps I was the one you were thinking of? Actually, in this case, "a lot going on" is exactly the point, and shooting it on a cloudy day actually helps because the light treats the colors equally instead of creating posterization issues or clipping problems. Daniel Case (talk) 22:40, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm glad this photo works for you, and you give a clear explanation of why. However, I wasn't just thinking of you. I've seen a number of people complain either that there "is too much going on" in a photo, that a photo with a complex form is "chaotic", or that it was a problem that they couldn't tell what the subject of the photo was. Of course, a lot of this is purely a matter of opinion (a complex form can indeed be chaotic, I think we would all agree), but there is a difference in terms to a degree, inasmuch as I don't think I would ever give mere complexity or multiplicity of forms or lack of a singular subject as a reason to oppose a photo (though I reserve the right to do that at some point in a specific context). To me, a complex form isn't a problem unless there's something that makes it not work, and the same is true of a simple form. As someone who grew up looking at a lot of paintings, I find that the landscape or cityscape itself is quite often the subject, and it can be quite complex and rich, requiring the viewer to stand in front of the picture for several minutes looking around the composition in order to understand the work well. Some photos are like that, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd probably go a bit heavier for the dust spots on the background, but you got all the large ones. One issue is that I'd remove the two stamps if you're converting to greyscale - it's misleading as those, at least, had colour. Weak oppose for the stamps (Above Fokine and below the signature), since we've lost information there, but if they're edited out... Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:58, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Adam Cuerden, these are on the original postcard, so removing that would go much further than restoring the scan. Regards, Yann (talk) 03:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, you need to actually keep the colours, or declare them unoriginal and remove them, I don't think that one can justify greyscaling elements unambiguously intended to be in colour, but I also think that library stamps aren't inherently part of an image, so there's solutions.

Support Thank you very much for the nomination, Christian!

Support This picture is marvelous. I gave it a shot once myself, to no avail. This being said, the photo's a bit too yellowish for me. This is by no means a dealbreaker, the lighting situation is indeed very tricky, and I do love the colorful effect here, but you may have overdone it. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment, Martin. Indeed it was your picture which inspired me to try it myself. I agree that the WB of your shot is much colder which is usually a good choice for architectural photography. I'm not really sure which one I like better. However, I set the WB manually using the live view of my camera so I believe that it reflects reality quite well. In the end, it may of course be a matter of taste anyways. --Code (talk) 08:58, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Alex Florstein (talk) 07:56, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Colour saturation, particularly with artificial lighting, is always a matter of taste. It's difficult judge from how you imagine it looks because there are no cues 'in nature' to compare to, whereas we generally know what colour the sky is, or what colour grass is. I do know from experience though that if you try to correct the WB based on the artificial light, you will make everything else outside much too cool. What you could try is to set two white balances, one for the interior and one for the exterior. In Lightroom, you can do this dynamically with the WB and tint adjustment brush, but you could also do it with Photoshop layers. Just a thought anyway. I like it the way it is though.

- I don't see how 2013 makes any difference. The camera used was 18 megapixels. If you'd taken it closer (or used a longer focal length) then there's no reason this couldn't be frame-filling sharpness 18MP. Instead we have a fairly soft 2.3MP.

Support - Fantastic and iconic! And now you'll see a remark from me that you've never seen before: This is outstanding bokeh; in my opinion, it's exemplary, and the effect of it is to put the iconic lotus flower (and part of the stem) in a kind of mystical, symbolic landscape. Yes, the one lotus flower is very realistic and detailed, but this composition goes beyond realism to create what looks almost like a brushily painted background, which partly because of the more or less dark greens and partly due to its texture, is not assertive (as when I complain of an "aggressively blurred background" that may contain a grainy surface) but is clearly a supporting actor that fades into the distance while still having a presence that helps set a mood. I hope that makes sense, but in any case, I love this artistic creation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:45, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The image does not have any colourspace tag (or profile), which is required by the Commons:Image guidelines. Assuming sRGB, I may be able to insert these tonight if I get a chance (without this metadata, colours do not display properly on some browser/monitor combinations). The guidelines also require proper categorization and the only categories this image is in are maintenance categories that say "unknown flowering plant". Which is as useful EV-wise as "unknown church". Perhaps someone can identify this. The image is nice, though the saturation/contrast is strong. It isn't hard to take a nice picture of a big flower like this (see the Commons:Featured pictures/Plants) so I think we should insist on identification for our "finest" plant photos. -- Colin (talk) 12:54, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose I have added the relevant tag/profile (assuming it was sRGB). Without some identification I oppose however. The actual JPG is heavily compressed and the background quite blocky and posterised suggesting over-processing. -- Colin (talk) 21:55, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment For the record (having done the license review). The image is available rather widely across the internet. Google images and Tineye both indicate no usages that are at higher resolution, or are older, than that on Pixabay (the source for this image). I see no indication, at all, that this was not released under CC0 by the original author. Its also beautiful. Revent (talk) 20:29, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Revent, would you like to vote on whether to support or oppose the picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: I wanted to take some time to 'really look at it' before voting, because from as aesthetic point of view I really like the image. There are a couple of issues tho... first, and briefly, looking at the histogram and colocube confirms my impression that parts of the image are completely burned in. The bigger problem I have is that, to be honest, Colin is correct. The bokeh effect here does not appear to be the result of the actual photography, but the result of extensive post-processing. When viewed at 'native resolution' on a large LCD, the posterization is really, really obvious, even on parts of the flower itself. This is a 8 bit jpeg, so has a 'theoretical' color depth of about 16 million colors... the actual file here has about 230k, less than 2% of that.

Also, looking at an 'error level analysis' confirms my impression.... the flower appears to have been masked out, and processed separately from the rest of the image. I think Colin is slightly mistaken on one point though... the image is saved at 94%, which is not a particularly high level of compression... it's not a small file or posterized from being overcompressed, it's just small because so much detail was removed while processing that it compresses really well... meh. I think I have to

Oppose it as a FP, even though I 'like it', because it's a better example of photoshop use than of photography. Sorry. Revent (talk) 18:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that in-depth analysis. However, I have one small thing to point out. The is a nomination for "Featured picture" not "Featured photograph" ;) Josve05a (talk) 19:00, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question What's the difference? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:40, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing really, just that if you think it is a beautiful picture then it is beautiful and should be promoted as such. Then if it may not be the best photography you can take, that's a difference story. Post-processing might have made it look good and it's not in it's natural form, but that doesn't make it a less beautiful picture. Josve05a (talk) 21:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I agree with this, and what's more, so does pretty much everyone who votes here, at least in the sense that people ask for things that were actually there to be removed from the photo for aesthetic reasons. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:00, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Maybe I could have phrased myself better. I think it's a beautiful photograph, when viewed as a thumbnail, and that if the creator had managed the exact same effect 'without' reducing the image quality so much, I would not oppose it. I just think that, when viewed at full size (or, probably, when printed) the flaws created in the processing are distractingly obvious, to the point that it's not really usable unless scaled down significantly. Revent (talk) 06:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the explanation, but I'm not sure I understand. Does this have to do with the bokeh? Because bokeh typically is a big blur, and I find this blur pleasant, which is not usually the case. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Only in that the bokeh was not created in the 'photographic process' (i.e., not through the use of settings on the camera), but through postprocessing. That would itself be fine, if well done. However... I temporarily cropped out a small section of the background, specifically so that it would appear at full resolution (and then reverted myself)... it's in the history on the file page. If you look at it closely, it's not just 'blurred', but significantly posterized as a result of the amount of digital processing done in order to create the bokeh effect. To my eye, at least, it's really obvious when looking at the full image instead of a scaled down thumbnail. Revent (talk) 06:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your response, but I would further respond that I don't care if it's posterized, because it's a deliberately blurred background, anyway. If you find the result aesthetically displeasing, then I can completely understand why you'd object to it, regardless of the process used to achieve the result. However, I'm not fully clear on whether that's the issue or whether you are objecting based on the idea that posterization is a technical fault in how the bokeh effect is achieved, rather than based on aesthetic criteria. If that's the case, it wouldn't make any sense to me because a blur is a blur, not (generally speaking) an attempt at a realistic depiction of how our eyes would actually see a scene, and the only basis that makes sense to me to use in judging bokeh is a resort to aesthetic, not technical, criteria. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: I, indeed, think the image is technically flawed, and to a high enough degree that the flaws are obvious at full resolution. I think it's aesthetically pleasing (it's pretty) but we have far better images with similar content. I don't think it's 'one of the best images on Commons', at all. I think someone took a good photo and broke it so that it only works as a thumbnail. Revent (talk) 15:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If there are many better images with similar content, that's certainly a valid reason to oppose featuring this. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good job on the restoration! It's a very old image, so I'm OK with the weak level of over-all sharpness. I'd maybe even be OK with the focus being on the chest area around the button rather than the face. It's the background that makes this a pretty weak portrait, imho: Dark suit, dark hair and dark skin in front of a dark background. My eyes are inevitably drawn to the white shirt, as that's the only thing that really stands out. Then they go down to the suit, which is sharp and well-lit. Only after that they move up to the face, which is less sharp and mostly in the shadows. The eyes are so deep in the shadows that the white areas look like a very dark gray.

TL;DR: giving every bonus I can for 1910s technology, the dark background makes this not featureable for me. --El Grafo (talk) 09:46, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support This bronze equestrian statue of the emperor Augustus (29BC - AD 14). Found in the Aegean sea between the islands of Euboea and Agios Efstratios. The emperor is depicted in mature age, mounting a horse. He wears a tunica decorated with a meander pattern. Iconographic features of the Prima Porta gesture of official greeting. The hilt of his sword can be seen below the left hand, in which he helds the horse's reigns. On the bezel of his finger-ring a staff of divination (lituus) is engraved, symbolizing the supreme religious office of Pontifex Maximus, assumed by Augustus in 12 BC. One of the masterpieces of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece.-- Jebulon (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff. This is Ireland's largest church/cathedral and was built in the 12th century. You may notice the Royal Standard visible in many of the flags hanging above the choir. This is an intersting historical quirk of the cathedral. It was originally built as a Catholic Cathedral, but after the English Reformation, it was converted to Anglican. Despite Ireland being a Catholic-majority country, both of it's main cathedrals (the other being Christ Church Cathedral) have since remained Church of Ireland (Anglican). -- Diliff (talk) 14:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regretful oppose Posterization on flowers, more apparent closer to edges. It happens. Daniel Case (talk) 01:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks to Arion for his choice. I don't see any (significant or not) posterization on flowers, even on edges.--Jebulon (talk) 11:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm very confused. I've found so far that I don't have a good eye for posterization unless maybe it's blindingly obvious. Daniel, do you specifically refer to the middle-tone pinkish flowers, which at full size have less differentiation between their petals than the light pink flowers and many of the yellow ones? If so, then I see that, but at full-page size, the picture looks great. I'll give a vote of Support for this picture, but I would love a brief lesson on seeing posterization. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:37, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Well, I was talking about the red ones near the edges ... in my experience, if any color is likely to show posterization, it's red. For a better understanding read the article and look at the pictures. Daniel Case (talk) 20:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Daniel. I've read the article before, but I didn't know there was a Commons category of Posterization. I do see what you're talking about in this photo, and I guess if you really look for it, you can see it at full-page size. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:20, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to interfere 🤔, is there automatical posterization because of red ? Or is there any posterization in real ? I know what is posterization, I knew the article and the category, but I doubt that this picture could be a good illustration for this "posterization category"...--Jebulon (talk) 22:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was just explaining this to Ikan and passing along my personal observations. Daniel Case (talk) 04:12, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not that there aren't things to like about this—the lighting and the mood, and the way the blue bumpers jump out against the otherwise sedate colors. But I would like it more if, somehow, it was against a stone wall not interrupted two-thirds of the way up the mast by a metal railing (I know, there was probably nothing you could do about this). As it is, in addition to being a discordant element, it also made it harder to ignore the often inevitable loss of focus near the edges. Daniel Case (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support usualy, I am d´accord with Daniel, but in this case, I will give a weak support. It´s a difficult motif with not really positive colors. Therefore it is ok for me. --Hubertl 13:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info There were some clouds. The small white spots (oversharpened in the downscaled images), that is snow that was blown off nearby trees. -- KlausFoehl (talk) 17:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Exemplar of a male Galápagos lava lizard (Microlophus albemarlensis) in Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. The Galápagos lava lizard is a species of lava lizard endemic to the Galápagos Islands.

Support -- Poc o² 21:41, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The head and most of the body of the lizard are high-resolution, but would you consider cropping out most of the blur in the foreground and background, as well as to the left and right of the lizard, and trying a vertically narrow rectangle that shows only the lizard and the parts of the rock that are thus included? I'm guessing, though, that everyone else will probably find the bokeh fine... -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As a set. There are many other "Christian maps", the choice is random, maybe other are better. My advice, chose one you like, restore it carefully, and nominate it separately, you will gain a good success for sure !--Jebulon (talk) 20:29, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hello Jebulon and all. Thank you for your recommendation. I will follow it in case this set will not collect the appropriate votes. This is the first set that I nominate, so I was not sure about the exact definition of "set". My understating is that a set has to be a group of similar images. These images are not similar in terms of aesthetics. However, all of them represent the same thing. They are produced for the same purpose and in fact they are similar in terms of content: These Christian maps represent the effort of Christian theology to describe "heaven" or "hell" for its believers. So, that is why I thought to nominate them as a group. But I understand your point. I was trying to find a page about the definition of the "Set" and examples, but I could not find any. So, I thought just to nominate and see if I understood the right thing. Thanxs EVDiam (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As for me, a set should be complete in some way, and maybe chronologicaly classified, or something. But it is just an opinion, and there are no specific rules. I understand very well the purpose, but is the set "close" ? Well... difficult. Nice pictures anyway.--Jebulon (talk) 19:51, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hmm, ok. What I like about the picture is the dominance of blue sky and water with the small green stripe of land inbetween - and the (complimentary) red building complex. There's basically just three dominant colors, four if you count the spotlike white clouds, yachts, and buoys. So the image is rather reduced and, due to its panoramic layout, also wide and opened up. But maybe it just doesn't work... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:14, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm not sure about this one. My first reaction was to like its restful quality, which reminds me of Johann's photos of Pörtschach, but the cutoff of the trees on the right, where they're at full height and density, is bugging me because it feels like it cuts off the movement of my eyes around the picture frame. I'm wondering what this photo would look like if you had just the amount of tree necessary to show the buildings, even while cutting off part of the graveyard. I'm not positive I'd like that better, but I might. I might or might not support this photo, anyway, but right now, I'm undecided; although I like it, I may like it as a QI rather than a FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:27, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per Pofka. Even so, that might not have been issue but for the clipping in places—the shadow of the trees, for one, and the window trim on tbe other end. Perhaps a little overzealous in the processing? Daniel Case (talk) 22:43, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the importance of the inscriptions or something else? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:43, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Because this image shows the complete epitaph, whereas the already featured picture only unfolds a cut-out with the central relief stone of Ulrich II. von Ernau. So you folks might get an impression of the whole work. If a specific description might be of a common interest, I can hand it in later at request. By the way, this is one of the finest Renaissance relief works in Carinthia, created by the Italian sculptor Martin Pacobello. Thus according to my opinion it is important enough to be nominated as a whole as well. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 14:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The standard for London Bridges is pretty high. I'm surprised Diliff hasn't done this one. The sky and the crossing train are bonuses. But the left is cropped (with harms its EV and would only be excusable if part of the bridge was hidden from this viewpoint) and sharpness is quite weak especially off-centre. Compare File:Southwark Bridge, from Millennium Bridge, Aug 2010.jpg which is the result of stitching and is thus much much sharper. It also handles the shadow detail better, and is a wider view that captures the whole bridge. Btw, there's potential here for a great night photo -- Colin (talk) 14:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- To be honest, I find some of the bridges of London a bit boring, particularly during the day. Some of them are more impressive at night, some of them have nice detailing that isn't very apparent from a distance. Some of them just don't have nice viewpoints. I think Southwark Bridge is one of them that doesn't stand out enough for me during the day. You're right that the linked image is significantly better in sharpness and composition and it is well lit at night. Diliff (talk) 14:48, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's not sharp enough and the view isn't interesting enough for me. Also doesn't show the termination of each end of the bride which I think is important for compositional reasons, and I don't think London's bridges are really at their most aesthetic at low tide.

Support This is another photo with a complex form that I enjoy looking at, and like the photo of the factory that we all liked, the photographer has taken a subject that most people wouldn't find beautiful, and by taking it as seriously as a conventionally beautiful motif, has captured a really interesting scene. I would also say that this photo is really only partly about the extractor machine: That and the closer man's back are the most present because they're in the foreground, but to me, what really makes this a special photo is the series of interesting shapes created by the pipes, beams and horizontal planes of different construction in the middleground and background, and the way they work formally with the foreground. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:15, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The exterior doesn't give an idea of the beauty of the interior, with a large central nave, which is profusely decorated with gold leaf, gilded plaster and wood carvings, making of it the most ornate church in Quito. The temple is one of the most significant works of Spanish Baroque architecture in America and considered the most beautiful church in Ecuador. All by me, Poc o² 01:22, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm sorry, I don't find this portrait really impressive. It looks like there's a lot of chromatic aberration in the walls, for example, which look more kaleidoscopic than black in full size. I'm not sure anything is fully sharp, and did he always wear unkempt clothes and have a visible cut on his face? Are his paintings fairly represented in this picture? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:30, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 15:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is the church of the Holy Apostles (Ναός Αγίων Αποστόλων Σολάκη), built in year 1000 in the ancient Agora, as seen from the Acropolis. It is situated partly over the Nymphaïon (2nd c.C.E.). The original floor-plan of the church was that of a greek cross, with apses on the four sides, and a narthex on the west-side. Four columns support the dome. The altar and the floor are of marble. The disposition of some tiles on the outer walls show "cubic" decorative patterns of eastern origin. Four building phases are known, from the repairs and reconstructions over the years. Among all the mediaeval monuments known to have existed in the Ancient Agora, it is the only one preserved. It was restored to its original form in 1954-1957. Athens, Greece.-- Jebulon (talk) 15:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good digitalisation, yet the fresco is neither well preserved (would you support an equally damaged painting?), nor it is (IMHO and I'm not the only) of high artistic merit, it isn't even the oldest preserved byzantine fresco in Crete (the chapel of Agios Nikolaos in Agios Nikolaos has frescoes with aniconic motifs that date from the iconoclast, 400 years before or more). --C messier (talk) 12:01, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For whatever it's worth, I consider at least what we're seeing to be of artistic merit, and yes, I surely would support a good picture of a damaged easel painting if it were a good and historically important work. In some cases, such photos are actually really important, because they're the "before" photos, with the "after" photos having been overcleaned by restorers, so if at a future time, they want to restore some of the varnish and pigment they shouldn't have removed, referring to the "before" picture could be invaluable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:02, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Australian garden orb weaver at night. Perhaps I should have opted for a macro lens, but I don't own one, and I think this shot shows more context by including the web (this is a particularly neat example of their webs too). Combination of flash and LED torch only just gave me enough lighting at f/5.6, so I'm quite happy with the result.

Oppose. I don't think you really needed a macro lens for this shot as the distance to subject seems good enough for this sort of composition. What I would say is that although this is clearly a difficult spider/web to photograph given the web only exists at night, the lighting does look extremely harsh and probably a bit overexposed. I prefer this image's lighting. Diliff (talk) 13:35, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Diliff: Thanks for the comment. I have a RAW file for this one, and you were right that there was some clipping on the spider on that particular export. I've reprocessed the image now. (This specimen is a lot less yellow than the one you linked; they vary widely in colour. But as you say, the lighting is harsh.) -- Thennicke (talk) 05:03, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I prefer this version, though I also would have been willing to support the original if not faced with this choice. The composition is beautiful and I love the clouds, which remind me of Dutch landscape paintings. I'm somewhat bothered by noise in the background, but perhaps that's from the exhaust from the plane or something, and anyway, I can't see it except at full size, so I'm tolerating it, given the overall beauty of the picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:49, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Question - Pretty picture, but I'm undecided because it is not super-sharp. But what natural phenomenon is being displayed, and is that Venus or Jupiter in the sky? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:45, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info It is the capture of the after-sunset moment from a parallactic angle of 90°, which can only occur two times a year and solely in regions within the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. At this instant, which lasts here about 22 mins, atmospheric refractions displace the ubiquitous blue, reveal the imposing Venus and give way to a gamma of hues hidden at other times but in twilights. Venus stands alone because Mars is dimmer from this angle, and Jupiter only nears Venus the closest in September. Two minutes earlier, and the image would have appeared even sharper, but it could have missed Venus. -- Caballero1967 19:35, 12 February 2016‎

Neutral Until you straighten the horizon. It´s flooding the arctic sea right now! --Hubertl 21:22, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sloping horizon. Not sharp. The pier isn't quite working the way it should on a photo like this. I'm not convinced the sky is that unusual. Sunsets are pretty, but there's nothing photographically or artistically special here. -- Colin (talk) 21:41, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Thanks! The new one above is the straightest I could get from the various applications I tried. Please, consider two issues. First, the dock's slight orientation south, contingent on the beach's position, causes an inverse slim tilting illusion of the horizon. To complicate perspective even further, the slightly cloudy north erases the horizon's line, thus magnifying the illusion. Take a look at the patterned pic below. Cheers, --Caballero//Historiador ^☊ 22:39, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The original had no wow factor either really, so not a big loss, but how do you cut 75% off of an image's size with a simple rotation of a couple degrees, then nearly quarter it again with a crop and some strange light adjustments?

Support Based on my reading of Category:Panthera onca, there are currently only 2 Featured Pictures of jaguars - one of which is a head shot, and the other, a body picture far inferior to this one and also taken at a zoo. The entire animal is quite sharp in this picture, and even at full size, the entire picture is quite easily viewable, without bokeh that blurs anything anywhere close to unrecognizably. At full-page size, the entire composition is clearly in view, with a foreground, middleground and background - a very good composition, too, in my opinion - showing the jaguar in its habitat. I'd love to see more wildlife pictures like this, and I'll be surprised if anyone votes to oppose featuring this picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:41, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When I was thinking of what someone might object to, the crop on the left side where the chairlift is occurred to me. My feeling is that in order to have an entire post near the left side of his image without having no space between it and the edge of the picture frame, he probably had to cut off part of its mechanism.

Info created by an unknown pompeian painter, the rest by me -- Jebulon (talk) 09:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support I remain in the antique ages, with this nice, beautiful, and interesting fresco from a house in Pompeii, in the 4th style, depicting a pair of middle-class Pompeian, certainly husband and wife. It was placed on the back wall of the house, so as to be visible to anyone who transited to the atrium. It shows the baker Terentius Neo, as revealed by the engraved inscription inside the house, and not, as has been by mistake felt for a long time, Paquius Proculus, whose name appears in an electoral inscription painted on an outside wall. The two persons are portrayed as wealthy refined, cultured and fashionable: the woman is wearing a red robe, a pearl necklace with pendant in gold and pearls in the ears, has the typical Nero-era hairstyle (her hair divided by a parted in the middle and tied back, except for tight curls that fall on the forehead), and flaunts culture holding a diptych of wax tablets and a stylus, the same attitude of the so-called "Sappho fresco". The baker wears the toga, that indicates the dignity of magistratuus, and clearly highlights the rotulus (the document certifying his social rank) . All of this is a bit "too much". The current interpretation is that, despite everything, the facial features, made by the author with deliberate loyalty, betray the provincial origin of two upstarts, probably of Samnite origin who, once conquered the economic well-being, aspire to hide their humble beginnings and become a full right in polite society. Found in Pompeii, ca.79 CE, now on display in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, Italy.-- Jebulon (talk) 09:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"All Marxist paths lead to Moscow! Therefore CDU" - This campaign poster, created for the West German federal elections of 1953, certainly ranks among Germany's most iconic political posters of the postwar period. It highlights Konrad Adenauer's stern anticommunist course, here directly aimed at the Social Democrats, then the leading party of the parliamentary opposition.

If someone might need more, e.g. real hi-res, we're always absolutely willing to help out, but we'd appreciate to be contacted directly.

Comment - I'm not sure about this one. It's a small file for a featured picture nomination, and it's apparent even at thumbnail size that M. Hugo's right side (to the viewer's left) is blurry. If that's in the original photo and this file is faithful to that photo, we should probably approve featuring it, because of the author's importance and his compelling facial expression, but I think I'll leave that judgment up to others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:12, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~{o}~~ No improvements since the previous nomination. I guess this is the Bonhams version, a downsampled copy of the Carjat Gallica's version, which has a higher size. Good restoration though--Jebulon (talk) 17:40, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Actually, I spent several hours restoring it since the previous nomination. Per your suggestion, I went through and eliminated literally thousands of white spots. Previous entry was this, current entry is this. Scewing (talk) 22:21, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I also wanted to point out that, as you correctly guessed, this image is a restoration of the woodburytype sold by Bonham's auction house in 2011. The Bonham's woodburytype is not a downsampled copy of the woodburytype owned by BNF's Gallica, they are two separate woodburytypes of the same image. I chose to restore the Bonham's version, despite it's smaller scan size, because in my opinion the Bonham's woodburytype has deteriorated less in its 140 year history compared to the Gallica version. The detail of Victor Hugo's eyes and face were much cleaner in the Bonham's version in my opinion, so I decided to restore that one. BTW, I'm a big fan of all your images! Keep up the good work.

Support Very high resolution of a traditional miniature from the Kishengarh school of paintings from Rajasthan.

See Radha Krishna for the details. -- Yann (talk) 23:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'd like to vote for this picture, but I find the documentation insufficient. A date or at least approximate date and, so far as is known, place of composition should be mentioned in the description. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:13, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support As it concerns Radha and Krishna, it cannot be a physical place on earth, but it is meant to be a mystical one, maybe Shangri-La? So I imagine, the picture expresses more a state of the soul. Like a dreamland. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 05:29, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not asking what place is depicted; I'm asking when and where it was painted. That, or at least as near as we can tell, should be included in the documentation. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:34, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, updated from GAP. Yann (talk) 10:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and Support. I still have a question, though: It looks like there is writing in Urdu or another Arabic-based language on the bottom of the painting. Do you have any idea why, given that this is a pointedly Hindu religious subject? Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:32, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure (I don't read Urdu), but Urdu was the lingua franca for scholars in India until the 1920s (or even the 1940s?). Regards, Yann (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

      - User:Yann, I don't expect you can change it. The question is whether it should be featured? You mean that all older works have small figures that make them almost unrecognizable? - Owain Knight (talk) 10:32, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        Owain Knight: Did you realize that this is file nearly 700 megapixels? This is more than 20 times the picture size of an average camera. You can very well recognize them. Yann (talk) 10:36, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        User:Yann And how many people are going to click that? The picture is going to be featured on multiple Wikipedias in smaller version than here that we vote on. - Owain Knight (talk) 13:14, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        Owain Knight: This is telling. The simple fact that you didn't review this in its original resolution invalidate your vote. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:55, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        User:Yann, how does it invalidate my vote - my argument is that the figures are too small in the overall composition, which makes the picture unsuitable for display as feature picture. Maybe if you print it and display it in a large gallery, the figures would be recognizable, but here it is not the case. - Owain Knight (talk) 09:04, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        The argument for the vote is that the figures are too small in the overall composition. You did not dispute that, said you cannot change it and offered the excuse that it is an old picture. Now you say that non-clicking on the full size of a picture invalidates one's vote. How does that make sense? This is a public organization with public responsibility - in the case of FP, responsibility to the millions that see them when they are made Picture of the Day, and this should be primary motivation when voting for a candidate. - Owain Knight (talk) 19:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, it's easy enough for me to understand that this building is the seat of the Brazilian Federal Executive.

  - Thanks, but you translated the part whose meaning was evident to me. :-) Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:06, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Ikan Kekek the second part it's just a dramatic text about the photo (it was difficult to translate with the same intensity): "Photo clicked at dusk in September day, during the highest point of the dry season, the setting sun provides special colours to the monument." Nothing important, this kind of dramatic description is quite normal in photo contests promote by this Brazilian "group", the lack of orientation create this type of description. This is a "good" one, normally are "Think about some x, reflecting in the power of my photo...". -- RTA 09:20, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I'm not sure. Nice composition. The resolution is low for this kind of image, DoF small. IMO it's sharp in the front and not sharp enough in the back. f/6.3 is too small for this kind of image. --XRay ^talk 05:59, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose something is missing, have a lack of wow here. The build size is compromised by the composition, as this is just a small portion of the building, giving the impression of away smaller building, the water is a little bit distracting a longer exposure would be better, and the most impressive of this portion of the building is the curves that are not highlighted in this photo, it's too far, and a little bit lost in the trees. -- RTA 09:20, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral like XRay. Very good composition, but quite small for a static subject. Quality is OK, but the sky is not interesting. Yann (talk) 18:17, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Moderate support It could be better, but because of the limitations of the camera used and my own partiality to images of modernist buildings reflected in water I will let that go.

Comment What do you really wanted to capture? The funny but coincidently cloud formation or the architecture of the houses? The composition is quite strange to me --Hubertl 14:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I similarly question this composition. I like the buildings but would recommend for you to take a photo with a plainer sky or one with clouds higher above the buildings, because the buildings are quite complex in terms of form and the placement of the cloud feels distracting, rather than enriching. By the way, this is probably the first time I've posted something that could be interpreted as a "too busy" remark, but I don't think the picture is really overly complex; it's more a question of the placement of the cloud, relative to the buildings. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:01, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It seems to be very hard for a hotel lobby interior pic to get approved for a feature, because there are always quite a few people who will say that the composition is "too busy" (an argument I really hate) or that some crop is less than ideal (related to the "busyness", I believe, since it has to be cropped somewhere, so inevitably, something in a multifaceted interior is cut off). Do we really want to discourage people from nominating hotel interior pics? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:56, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW, I understand the opposers' points, and my first nomination failing (if it does) will not discourage me. I don't think that any specific category of FP should get special treatment simply to encourage more of them, and people should vote according to their own internal criteria. It's one of the best hotel interiors I've seen on Commons, but I have to acknowledge that IMO it's not among the very top of Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors.

Comment - The picture is sharp and the countryside is pleasant, but I question the composition. For example, I don't like the way the road at the extreme right is cut off - it seems random to me. There might be a way to get a fine composition out of this with some other crop, but I'll leave that to you. As it is, I don't feel that it's an outstanding work that I can support featuring. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:41, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not sure. The quality is very good but I think the light situation is not as good as I would expect it from a FP. Also, the composition is more or less boring. I'll take another look in the next days. --Code (talk) 06:16, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I find the composition alright, because it's the one big building with its supporting cast, and to my eyes, the smaller buildings relate formally to the big one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:34, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose high quality, but it lacks something that would make me go "Wow!". Sorry, but that's what QI is for, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 08:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The company no longer exists. The lettering reminiscent of the past. The missing "O" is like a symbol for the past. --XRay ^talk 18:07, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, now I look at the EXIF, if removed the "I reckon". Vibrance 25, Exposure 0.20ev, Contrast 25, Shadows 100, Blacks 100, Clarity 31. These are all the reasons why the image is so noisy: it has been pushed considerably in post. -- Colin (talk) 14:49, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Salineras (salt evaporation ponds) in Maras, Peru. The salt is obtained in Maras since the Inca Empire times and the site is currently composed of around 3.000 ponds of 5 square metres (54 sq ft) each. As the location is surrounded by salty mountains, subterrean water deposits the salty wather in the ponds and the water evaporates due to the exposure to the sun. After aprox. 1 month the level of salt reaches 10 centimetres (3.9 in) and is removed in sacks. All by me, Poc o² 15:24, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan I recommend using the Zoom viewer links below the image for very large pictures if your PC can't load them. However, I try those links to day and they aren't responding -- sometimes the WMFLabs needs a reset. -- Colin (talk) 14:11, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan, that's not the "zoom" link, but just one of several downsized options. Look for the text "ZoomViewer:". Sometimes one has to ask at the Village Pump for an admin to fix the server, as it goes down regularly. -- Colin (talk) 17:17, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support We lack of women ! We miss women ! With this candidacy, I've decided that it is enough with old beards! It is time for beautiful ladies in restored ancient photographs !! Christina Nilsson was a very famous swedish opera vocalist (colorature, then classical soprano) between 1864 and 1891. She was excellent in Mozart's Queen of the Night (die Zauberflöte). Her first appearence was in Paris, Violetta of La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. She was the star of many european major opera houses (Vienna, St Petersburg, London, Paris...). She performed Charles Gounod's Faust for the inaugural of the Metropolitan Opera of New York. Rival of the other diva Adelina Patti, she was active until 1891, and died in 1921. In this 1865 french picture by Nadar, I find her very, very beautiful. It was my real pleasure to restore this photograph (original available in history in the file page), and to spend a lot of hours alone with her...-- Jebulon (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info View of the main nave of the church and Monastery of St. Francis, Quito, Ecuador. The Roman Catholic temple, finalized in the 16th-century, is the largest architetural ensemble among the historical structures of colonial Latin America.

I am though not really sure that the result is overprocessed when I look at the original frames.

Info Herz-Jesu-Kirche, München is a rare and initially also controversial example of contemporary church architecture in Germany. I've decided to give this photo another shot at FPC as my first nomination (about a year ago) didn't provoke any reaction whatsoever. The image was rather difficult to take. Due to the very tight layout of streets and housing in this district of Munich there simply isn't much space. I also like all the shades of blue dominating the picture.

Oppose - I didn't really want to be the lone opposer, but I find the composition very static. I might like a different photo of this church, perhaps from a different angle, with interesting clouds, but the blue sky just sits there, and the rest of the picture doesn't help my eye much. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:08, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ikan for your comment (and vote!). Well, the general design of this church resembles a cube (some sneerers in Munich quipped the building looks like it's supposed to be God's new gym). That's why I prefer a photographic representation like this one - a view from the front seems rather boring to me. Another advantage of this perspective is that it provides for reflections of both the white building to the right and the clock tower to the left (which is not visible here). I also like the crystal blue sky as it matches the color of the church's exterior. But that's a matter of taste of course. --Martin Falbisoner (talk)

Thanks for being gracious and explaining your thinking. My feeling is that I can see how your photo is good for documentation, but we differ on the composition as art. As you said, that's OK, and just a matter of taste. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:07, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Video explanation: "Video simulation of the view which would be seen by a close observer, of the final merger of GW150914, showing the distortion of the star-field from gravity as the black holes orbit and merge." From the English Wikipedia article First observation of gravitational waves: "The first observation of gravitational waves on 14 September 2015 was announced by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations on 11 February 2016. Gravitational waves had previously been observed only indirectly, through their effect on the timing of pulsars in binary systems. The waveform, detected by both LIGO observatories, matched the predictions of general relativity for a gravitational wave emanating from the inward spiral and merger of a pair of black holes and subsequent "ringdown" of the single resulting black hole. The signal was named GW150914."

~~Support~~ - Interesting, significant print, good reproduction. What's your feeling about whether the photo should be retouched to eliminate the representation of damage to the paper? Is fidelity in reproduction or a closer approach to perfection in the image more important? I don't know, so I'm just throwing out the question. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is a very interesting question. Personally, I don’t have only one and clear opinion. I think it depends. A first thought is that a historical document is valuable because of its content and not because of the perfection in restoration. On the other hand, a good restoration of a completely damaged document is a very serious and difficult work. However, sometimes it is important to keep some damages, because potentially could give more information about the object. EVDiam (talk) 15:51, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Dingy gray with prominent fold marks. I don't see how keeping age/folding damage is considered a faithful reproduction or a restoration. The original would've been white and unfolded. I guess it's a plus that this doesn't have the oxidation damage the last one had. INeverCry 20:56, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support. Please can you save the file with an sRGB colourspace tag & embedded profile.

    - Then my version of GIMP doesn't handle that properly. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:43, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Adam, it definitely does, and knowing what colorspace you are working in and saving to is vital for handling artworks. See Image Mode menu and GIMP color management. You should have your GIMP set up to use sRGB as your working space, and warn/prompt you if the JPG/PNG you are loading has a different or missing one (and offer to convert/assign as appropriate). It is possible that GIMP has some wrongheaded "save for the Web" option that strips out colour profiles, and which shouldn't be used (it's a hangover from dial-up-modem days where every kb counted). Continue this on my talk if you want, though I don't use GIMP. Certainly if you don't have your GIMP set up for colour management (e.g. CM turned off) then there is a real risk you will open an AdobeRGB image and accidentally strip off this and make the image over-saturated as a result. -- Colin (talk) 14:49, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        It's more that it's metadataing weirdly, I think. I'm updating it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:59, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Okay. It's definitely in sRGB - GIMP is clear on that - but GIMP refuses to put that into metadata. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:41, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        
        How can GIMP be "clear" that it is "in sRGB" if it contains no metadata. That's like saying the number "20" is in Celsius: without a scale (colourspace) it is just a file containing numbers. Other people manage to save files with tags profiles in GIMP, and the program does claim to be colour managed (if that option is enabled) so I think you are simply doing something wrong. I'll install it at home tonight if I get a chance. It is really rather important for artworks to explicitly define the colourspace. -- Colin (talk) 08:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        I've done some playing with GIMP. Out of the box, on Windows 10, GIMP doesn't seem to have a working colour profile at all. I open Preferences and select the Color Mangement tab. "Color managed display" is default mode of operation, but this is pointless unless it knows the working profile or monitor profile. So I select a RGB profile (browse to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color and choose "sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" which will appear as "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"). I tick the box to "try to use the system monitor profile" for the Monitor Profile aspect (I have a wide-gamut monitor that has been profiled). For the "File Open behaviour" I choose "Ask what to do" which is the default. This last option does not seem to work the same as Photoshop for files with no embedded profile (vs one with a different embedded profile). With Photoshop, when I try to load your file, it says "The document "...." does not have an embedded RGB profile. What would you like to do?" and I can assign a working profile like sRGB or leave it without a profile (no colour management). GIMP seems to assume images with no profile should remain not colour managed. So I'm afraid there is no option than to go to the Image -> Mode -> Assign Color Profile..." menu. The pop-up dialog claims (for me) the Current Color Profile is "sRGB IEC61966 2.1" but I suspect that is simply because I've made that my working profile. Ensure the "Assign" field is "RGB workspace (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)" and press Assign. Then export the JPG. This magically tells GIMP that we really would like to properly colour manage this file and embed a profile. You can use Jeffrey's Exif Viewer to confirm, or download exiftool.exe and use it (exiftool -a -u -g1 "...." will display all tags/profile information). It is disappointing that GIMP does not properly handle images that have no profile, and prompt you to assign one on file-open (it manages fine if the image has AdobeRGB or ProPhotoRGB profiles embedded). Unless you want to move to Photoshop (£8.57 a month for Lightroom Photoshop) then you may just have to keep remembering to use the "Assign Color Profile" menu for images that lack an embedded profile. Or raise a bug against GIMP. -- Colin (talk) 22:57, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great picture of a needlessly disgraced baseball legend. But ... I think it would look even better cropped to more of a vertical, à la a baseball card. The sides do not add anything to the image and, as Adam noted, they have some technical difficulties best not included in the image. Further, the baseball-card crop would draw even more attention to that haunting stare. Daniel Case (talk) 20:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I like the composition. It gives it a feel of a baseball stadium. I think, in general, we should usually promote an uncropped version, then take crops from it for other uses, unless the area cropped causes composition issues (e.g. in this Strayhorn image the legs excessively dominated the scene due to the camera being fairly near him; a crop fixes this issue, and we have the uncropped whenever we want it. We might also crop wasted space, e.g. if there's a blank wall either side, or crop a dozen or so pixels to square off an image and keep the border from intruding, say. But where, as here, it's a matter of both being good, go with the less cropped. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm inclined to support, but first: This photo doesn't feel like it has the pinpoint focus of some of your work, though that could be a function of how the light is shining on it. Also, I'd like your affirmation that the colors are a true representation of how this looks. Finally, I think a bit more information in the file description - at least the fact that it dates from 1770, as you note here - would be a good thing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:54, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm guessing the reason no-one has yet voted or commented on this picture is that they're not really sure what to say. This picture has value in documenting a view of this type of fruit fly, but compared to the beautiful light microscope images we've been voting on lately, or on the other hand, the pristine closeups of birds and some insects that we've been seeing, this seems to me to occupy an uncomfortable middle. The fly is not that sharp, and in terms of composition, it sort of hovers between some fuzzy white light and the fuzzy white tendrils of some plant that also seem to hover in midair, and which the viewer may have trouble identifying. I'm somewhat reluctant to firmly oppose featuring this photo, in case the documentation aspect of it might be judged to have great value, but I think this is really more in the nature of a Valued Image of the fly than a Featured Photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:25, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - This photo lacks the mist or clouds below the snow that two of my most recent nominations had, but I nonetheless find this a great picture. It has qualities that remind me of some really fine painted landscapes, including a great depth of field and contrast between different landforms, each other and the sky, and above all, it really rewards the viewer who moves his/her eye around the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:09, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'd like this if the vegetation came more naturally up to the dirt road, but the big swath cut/cleared away at right, and what we can see of the same to the left of the road, makes the lower half of the image empty, rough, and unattractive. If only the lower half had more of its natural cover of foliage... INeverCry 06:53, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per INeverCry --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I will try responding to your opposing review, which is content-laden. I understand the review, and I hope this reply doesn't seem disrespectful, but here is it, anyway: Not every great photo fulfills some kind of conventional set of criteria of beauty. Did you at least try moving your eyes around the picture frame and experiencing the arabesque before opposing the feature? If you did and found it wanting, I have no basis for arguing, but if you didn't and just feel like rejecting it as "unattractive" without considering it as a work of art, rather than purely as an image, I feel like you've missed the point. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:42, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Using a road to lead the eye from a corner to a central subject is a basic artistic device. But here there is no strong central subject. The road just disappears behind some shrubs. That the bottom half of the picture is uninteresting and unattractive is quite a serious problem. I don't (only) mean "attractive" in sense of beauty, but in sense of attracting the eye, and rewarding it. It might be a useful documentary image of the area, but I don't see a strong "work of art" and disagree that a landscape painter would fill so much of the canvas with dirt and dead grass. -- Colin (talk) 19:12, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Question - Colin, thanks for expressing your view so eloquently. To you, INeverCry and Martin Falbisoner: Would you all prefer a cropped version in which most of the dirt were cropped out of the foreground? I think that could be a good composition. If so, Christian (or perhaps someone else), would you be willing to try one? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:22, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a crop would help. Christian presumably meant to document the track from one place to another, with the accompanying view. The distant countryside is pleasant enough, but Christian has taken/uploaded hundreds, if not thousands, of images of the countryside of this part of France, and this is not imo a special one. It needs something, both in the subject and the photography, to give it "wow". -- Colin (talk) 20:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the nomination Ikan, me too I like this image since I uploaded it, however I agree with others that it lacks something in the foreground to really have potentiel to make an outstanding image. I don't think a crop would had a lot here, however I can promise so soon I return near this place I will try to make another image, maybe with april/may flowers or some sunset lights...or both. Or a different composition. Regards, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 20:34, 20 February 2016 (UTC)...[reply]

Support -- The Photographer (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm undecided and maybe leaning somewhat toward opposing this one, for two reasons: (a) The light seems very gray, accentuating the unattractiveness of the motif; (b) Parts of the picture, especially in the lower left, are quite blurry at full size and don't feel fully focused even at full-page size. I like the composition, though. I think the best solution would be for Rodrigo to retake this photo in a warmer light, with a much clearer focus. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually Ikan, I know most of that...

I told them to not nominate [3], because I'll try to go back there (This is a view from another building, and I need a authorization to enter there, and I don't know if I'll gonna get again).

However the problem is not the focus, is that this is a 250 mm in a APS body (400mm), and very low build quality lens. At the centre the sharpness is almost there, moving away from there, this start to be appalling. I didn't use any stack technique, or panoramic, to increase the sharpness, I just did a very quickly HDR because of the dark areas, and I was in a short time.

The problem of the cool colours are in a place that do not appears on the picture, first it is the South face, don't receive much of the light (and also the photos, that's why I uploaded), and also this is under repair, have long blue tissues covering both sides of this area, light is hitting hard there and creating this blue feeling, and I changed the real colour that I captured: [4].

Thanks for your time. :) -- RTA 18:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support --Robert F. Tobler (talk) 17:22, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I like this photo very much but I'm not sure whether to support it for a feature, because the very dark trees at the bottom bug me. They're so dark that even at full size, they form what's pretty much an undifferentiated mass. However, the picture of the building is excellent. I'm not sure what the solution is - is there a time of day when more light would hit the trees and the building would still look good? If so, maybe it's best to try retaking the photo then. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the times of the day where the trees are illuminated, the illumination of the building is boring. A few steps to the right, the trees are not visible but the streets, billboards and other things at the foot of the building destroy the clean image that is maintained with the trees as a silhouette (see

). --Rftblr (talk) 17:57, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't agree with your appraisal of these two views. I find this view far superior to the one with very dark trees. If you or someone else offers a nomination of the second picture, I'd be happy to support featuring it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment in the other version I even had to move quite a bit forward to avoid a crowded foreground. Thereby the perspective distortion on the top of the building is significantly and unnaturally exaggerated. This is also why I nominated the version with the dark row of bushes. --Rftblr (talk) 18:38, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Regardless, I think the result was good. Let's see what others say, and I hope that our conversation doesn't result in making people reluctant to vote or express their opinion, as sometimes happens, somehow, as a result of conversations... Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A good QI, but nothing about this says FP to me, especially not the shadow over the leaves. INeverCry 20:56, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose due to the shadows. If light were coming from the left, there wouldn't be a shadow on the front of the building. The black areas at the bottom are also distracting. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:44, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support I could stand for the bottom to be cropped in a little more, but for me the building is so well done otherwise that it doesn't matter. As for the angle of the light ... when we make that part of our reason to oppose, we should consider whether the opposite angle was possible. Since we know the date, time and exact location from which this image was taken, I decided to plug it into the Photographer's Ephemeris and see if that would be possible.
Yes, it seems, it would be ... but only if the photographer had gotten up early and shot just after dawn. Whether the image would be well-served by golden-hour light is an exercise for the visualizer, and I am also so far removed from my last (and so far only) visit to Vienna that I cannot possibly say whether the sun would have completely lit the building at that hour.

* Support - I support this image and love Gothic frescoes! However, I would suggest for you to consider cropping the nearest portion of the floor because it's unsharp and unnecessary for the picture. Ideally, I would have preferred to see more of the cut-off fresco high on the wall, instead. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the (near overexposed) light on the right side make the image not very balanced, and in all cases not outstanding. A bit too much foreground too for my tastes. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 09:47, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A quarter of the image is of the floor, but taken at such an angle that no floor detail can be seen (compare this). Why would one want the point-of-view of a mouse, rather than a human? The painting above the arch is cropped off but is arguably the most important image in this room (compare this).

Oppose - I think you know how much I respect your greatness as a photographer, but since I find fault with truly interesting pictures of flora and fauna that have a very shallow depth of field and end up as mostly a blur, I don't see how I can support this picture. The lock by itself is not interesting or beautiful enough to me; I feel like the picture needs something more, and by the way, an entirely gray background is definitely not it, in my opinion.

Oppose I think, like the other one, this has the ingredients of a good photo but somehow they didn't work out. The trees aren't the most photogenic kind; the sun doesn't quite shine through the branches the best way; the mist makes the rightmost trees look smudged. The other one had a strong composition and better backlighting of the grass, but suffered also from the smudge-look on the right. -- Colin (talk) 19:57, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is what the composition says. It's a pity that you don't recognize this. So I withdraw my nomination.

Support Christoph does have a point, but "featured" does not mean "perfect", to me. Absolutely everything can be wished to be better, and then better still. Here's ten bucks saying the original sculptor actually had the same criticism of his own work when he first saw it in bright sunlight. Nothing to be done about it now. It's out there, and that's how it looks. The shadow is an integral part of the frieze. Deal with it. --Schwallex (talk) 02:21, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - As Rftblr points out above, it's a brilliant photo of the bird. The only thing that bugs me somewhat is the blurriness of the stump in the bottom foreground. If there were a way to crop it out from the bottom without cropping out part of the bird, I'd suggest that, but that isn't possible. I'll tolerate it, but I'd find it better if it were sharpened just a bit, as the presence of a bright blurred thing in the foreground is distracting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:24, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Lake Salinas is a salt pan located in the Arequipa Region, Perú. It is located within the Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reservation. The lake is 4,300 metres (14,100 ft) over the sea level and its size is 6,182 hectares (15,280 acres) but shrinks to a thin salt crust in the dry season.

Support My god. I envy you, I want know that place. Wow Amazing. --The Photographer (talk) 13:58, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The far left looks like it is sloping down about 2°. I know the white salt line might be bent round the lagoon, but I think it is probably straight here. A clue is the cliff face of the hill above, which forms a dark band and if it corresponds to a layer of rock might be horizontal (though again can't be sure). Anyway, a 2° rotation of that portion sure makes the land look better there. So could this be a stitching artifact, or a consequence of a hand-held panorama not being quite aligned? -- Colin (talk) 14:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Colin, I reworked that area and uploaded a new version, please, let me know what you think Poc o² 20:48, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The new image seems very stretched at both sides -- 2x wider in places and not sharp. I don't think it changed the slope issue. I'm afraid for the stretching of the scene I have to ~~Oppose~~ for now. Are you using Lightroom to stitch? I've found it ok for some small simple stitches but it isn't really configurable or precise. Contact me if you want me to help stitch with PtGui. -- Colin (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you can "live" with the previous version, I just restored it. My general modus operandi with panoramas is the following: I usually use LR. Sometimes I do have problems with LR and for whathever reasons (LR is not good at providing feedback) and then give it a try with PTGui Pro. I can use that tool pretty good in the meanwhile, I think. In this particular case I have to say that the result with LR was better than with PTGui (that is rarely the case). Yesterday, I actually gave it several tries but in spite of having 25 control points for each stitch the result was not good (stitching problems visible, which was not the case with LR). Well, long story short, I will give it a try again this weekend and see what can I do. Poc o² 21:48, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I've had my share of stitches that just don't seem to work out. I've removed my oppose. -- Colin (talk) 21:56, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Colin, as promised I've uploaded a new version where I applied a tilt to the left frame. Please, have a look at it and let me know what you think. It looks pretty good to me Poc o² 10:51, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm happy with that.

Support. I note, though, that it seems a little brighter and less contrasty than the first version. Perhaps, though, this is more like how it was. -- Colin (talk) 13:56, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poco, you could get a better result with hugin --The Photographer (talk) 01:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Photographer, do you mean with "better result" that there is still room for improvement? where?. I used Hugin some years ago but moved then to PTGui, and in the meanwhile to LR, as main tool because the results looked better to me. Poc o² 10:57, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd expect Hugin to be a bit technical in how it do this task. That means that PTGui is easy to handle. PTGui does HDR natively but I prefer making my HDR with an outside program like Photomatix. --The Photographer (talk) 13:46, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PTGui can do tonemapping but it can also output HDR files (various formats including 32-bit TIFF). Importing this TIFF to Lightroom takes advantage of the superb tonemapping in that program, which many reckon to be superior to other software, including Photomatix. But if the image is a large stitch, then the 32-bit TIFF can be huge. I've never managed to get Hugin to generate output suitable for HDR work. The software claims to be capable of this, but that area seems to be so full of bugs as to be unusable. Generating panoramas with Lightroom (or Photoshop) is a bit of a gamble. It is convenient and can manage small landscape panoramas, but there are no options at all other than a few projection choices, and it really isn't capable of architectural panoramas. -- Colin (talk) 13:52, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
