      SupportSorry, lets discuss! To me its a good picture. With problems but with atmosphere. To me its QI. --Ralf Roletschek 15:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
      Oppose I agree with Joydeep. This one is far from QI. --A.Savin 15:58, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose per JDP90 --P e z i 09:55, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose - It's clear it's not QI just from the thumbnail. "With problems", as Ralf called it, is to me a synonym of "not QI". Mattbuck 19:53, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose QI is not for atmosphere, but for technical qualities. My God ! How many pictures have we promoted as QI without any kind of atmosphere ?! This one has too many technical flaws.--Jebulon 22:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Decline Tilted to the right. --Graphium 09:38, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
      Fixed. Mattbuck 21:55, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose The platforms are too important for the composition to leave them underexposed like this. --Sitacuisses 17:21, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Support Thanks Mattbuck. @Sitacuisses: The platforms ain't underexposed IMO. That's how they would likely look like on such a cloudy (and perhaps drizzling) day. --Graphium 15:37, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
    Graphium, the human eye is able to adapt much better to such a contrasty situation than a camera. In photography, this can be simulated with HDR technolgy, shadow adjustment and so on. But this didn't happen here. In this image, even the highlights in the sky may be toned brighter without loss, and the shadow parts below the roof are so dark that much of the detail is lost that a human would see in that situation. This is even more important as the perspective (platform and roof edges) draws the view towards the dark platforms; the image tries to show the station from a pedestrian's perspective, and it fails there: pedestrians would be afraid to go to that train station if it was actually as dark as it looks here. Besides that aspect, I would have to judge "unclear subject" since the well-exposed sky and empty tracks aren't that interesting, and the train is too small to be the main subject. --Sitacuisses 16:36, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose and again and again a to dark "shadow" image. Please try to take HDR images for better exposures for this kind of images. --Alchemist-hp 22:24, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

    Looking at the sky in the photo, I'm afraid it should result in a much brighter day than this. --Graphium 09:35, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
    If I brighten it anymore I lose the definition in the sky. Mattbuck 19:10, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
    Sorry, then I would have to   Oppose this image. Thanks for trying to fix the issue though. --Graphium 10:18, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
    I disagree. Mattbuck 21:39, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •   Oppose Overprocessed with too much contrast, blown-out highlights and unnatural colors. --Sitacuisses 13:06, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
      Info I uploaded new version, with less contrast and saturation. But you're wrong about blown highlights. Please other reviewers to take a look. --Halavar 17:59, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
The new version isn't much different and doesn't tackle the problem. There's no detail left in the brighter parts of the clouds. Color-wise this picture isn't as far off as some of your other recent uploads, but it's still far from natural. When you tone down brightness, you'll notice that the white horse on the right side is green-yellow in your photograph. --Sitacuisses 05:48, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Burnt highlights in important areas of the image. Still too high contrast. -- Smial 10:47, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

  •   Support Good quality. --Poco a poco 20:52, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose I disagree. Very unfortunate lighting, left girl is looking like dead drunk. Clothing appears like made of cardboard, ugly reflections of direct flash on the boots. --Smial 11:04, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose - the expression itself is enough reason to oppose IMO. Mattbuck 20:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
  •   Oppose Unfortunate flash, too harsh effect. Utmost care needed when shooting such contrating materials (light-eating fabric on skirts vs reflective leather in boots). In addition, busy background. --Pitke 16:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

    Irrelevant really. Mattbuck 20:38, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
    What can a photographer do in this case? The showcase glass cannot be removed, it is the necessary part of the museum halls. Thanks for the advice.--PereslavlFoto 22:25, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
    Sometimes it is possible to avoid the reflection of the camera, tripod, and photographer by using a real shift lens. In case of this image in addition it would be necessery to cover the window(?) decorated room wall behind the camera by a black curtain or similar. Perhaps it is enough to combine the shift lens with a polarizer. Conclusion: it's possible to reduce the reflections, but it needs some more work and tools. -- Smial 10:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Nomination Portrait of a young lady -- Alvesgaspar 13:42, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •   Oppose Unfortunately the DoF is too shallow for a portrait photo. Even the nose sticker is unsharp. As a courtesy (not relevant for my decline), pimples should be cloned out at woman portraits (right side). --Cccefalon 14:04, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
  • I want another opinion, please. Dof is right where I wanted it to be: the eyes are the main subject (no pimples that I see)-- Alvesgaspar 14:18, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
  Comment As you labeled the photo as "portrait", it can be expected, that more than only the eyes are sharp. If it were "Eyepart of a young lady", with the blurry sticker / nose cropped out, I might judge different. Beside that, the actual crop is pretty unharmonic: a high forehead while the nose is touching the bottom of the photo. --Cccefalon 08:41, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
