Wieselgrensplatsen in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Nothing featurable there. The so-called HDR does not automagically enhance an ordinary picture. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 23:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

The organ of the Basilica in Esztergom, Hungary
In that case the organ would have "sat down" in the composition. That is why I cut off there. Yes, the lightning is really poor. Basilica... :-)--Ivanhoe (talk) 18:59, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Could you explain me why you think that perspective is not correct? I would like to learn... Thank you.Ivanhoe (talk) 21:43, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote "perspective is not corrected". The walls are leaning inside, this is an effect of tilting the camera upwards. This is correct but not "beautiful" and should be corrected. Formerly this was done with special lenses, today you can use software to do this. For more information and how to do look at www.shiftn.de for example. --Berthold Werner (talk) 08:18, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Paddling surfers under crepuscular rays
It has lot's of educational value: w:crepuscular rays; paddling just to name two. And what about the dogs behavior, who are standing still at surfboards? And what about reefs seen in the ocean, and what about w:sun glitter?--Mbz1 (talk) 03:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Now it's a background of my desktop :) Thanks! -- Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 06:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very nice, like painting. Strong support -- George Chernilevsky talk 08:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support . . . nice pic, but needs more info: I'll add the extra brackets for support with this extra info: (1) location, (2) date, (3) a bit more clarification of what "manually done panorama" means. If available, some info on why the people were taking their dogs out on surfboards would also be of interest (and may greatly enhance the educational value) - are they working dogs, e.g. being used to sniff out shellfish for harvest, or just dogs out playing with their owners? - MPF (talk) 12:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The date and location is added."Manually done panorama" means that I was not able to stitch a few image using a program, and done it manually instead. I know nothing about the people on surfboards,except that the owner of the restaurant I took the picture from, told me, it was the very first time they paddled so close to the shore in this place. The tide,and the ocean conditions were just right for them to paddle there, and then they got behind the reefs, and were gone, except one of them caught a small wave, when he passed the reefs. They were two boys and one girl. --Mbz1 (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! - MPF (talk) 15:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't know how the merging process was done, but it seems that something went wrong. The line of the horizon is too sharp. Looks like the background is fake. Sorry. --Lošmi (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, as I explained I added the images together in photo shop manually, but I am not sure what you mean under fake, but anyway...--Mbz1 (talk) 19:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I meant that it looked like the sea is just cut and pasted on the sky. It's much better now. --Lošmi (talk) 01:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment If we are worried about the units then we could just as well be worried about the English language as well and require subtitles for everyone not knowing English. /Daniel78 (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment If this is the first, I'd prefer NOT to start a trend. If we decide not to feature, we should also write it into the rules so that it's clear for nominators. --99of9 (talk) 03:21, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
On English Wikipedia, videos get normally featured as "Featured (motion) pictures". I see no reason why we could no do that here. Of course, including videos direcly in guidelines would be much better...--Kozuch (talk) 09:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Radiometer. The Crookes radiometer, also known as the light mill or solar engine, consists of an airtight glass bulb, containing a partial vacuum. Inside are a set of vanes which are mounted on a spindle. The vanes rotate when exposed to light. The reason for the rotation has been the cause of much scientific debate.

Out of fog Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco in fog and w:crepuscular rays.
I don't think they need to be parallel in the picture given the geometry. bamse (talk) 22:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
They all need to converge radially on a single point (the position of the sun) - MPF (talk) 22:25, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but can I take the rays in a 2D projection (the image, any image), extend them and will I end up at the sun in the same image (assuming it was included)? Actually on second look, I noticed that I might have mistaken a hole in the clouds for the shadow of the mountain. Possibly the uneven surface of the clouds on which the shadow falls could give the wrong impression you were talking about?! bamse (talk) 06:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not to say that the original (see below) I uploaded shows both shadows in one shot.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a photo montage, it is a normal panorama photographed at the same time, the same date and the same place. All the images included in the other image you refer to were taken at the same place also. I am not sure how you could have thought I combined the images taken in a different places! This image is also a panorama photographed on the very same day,at the very same place, and at the very same time as the images used for the nominated image. And if you don't get it, it might be better to ask first than to make insinuations. --Mbz1 (talk) 03:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I'm sorry about insinuation that they are totally different pics, but this just doesn't look realistic to me. The perspective doesn't fit. It's like you took the images at the same time and place, but from the different points. I see two different pictures here. And again, sorry about that insinuation, but I don't think this panorama is merged correctly. --Lošmi (talk) 04:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I used tripod to take the images. They all were taken from the very same place. The only thing that was moving from shot to shot was the tripod's head. --Mbz1 (talk) 05:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And to end all the suspicions I now uploaded one of the original (not post processed at all images . I do not remember, if this particular one was used to create the panorama (I took few sets, and I do not remember which ones I've used for the panorama), but it gives you an idea how it looked in the real life. Not even in a bad dream I would have thought about adding Golden Gate Bridge to the place it does not belong!--Mbz1 (talk) 05:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I could swear that this is not merged correctly. Sry, my mistake. Thank you for clearing all doubts. --Lošmi (talk) 06:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bronchial anatomy diagram
But it doesn't come packaged in with computers that people buy; how many people go through the difficulty of finding it and taking the risk of installing it? Very few, I bet.

I invite you to draw in SVG, if you need help. I could convert this to SVG like other works --The Photographer (talk) 01:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you do convert it and it looks better, I'll be happy to vote to replace this if it becomes a FP. At this stage however, the somewhat comparable SVG File:Respiratory_system_complete_en.svg (which is already a FP) is not as nice looking in my opinion (although it is a very fine diagram, and is somewhat more comprehensive, so I'm not voting to delist). --99of9 (talk) 01:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lünersee vom Saulakopf

✓ Done danke --Böhringer (talk) 22:10, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ich weiß, dass das hier kein Schnappschuss ist, aber die Komposition lässt es auf mich so wirken. Das wollte ich damit ausdrücken. Danke übrigens für die Übersetzung; im Englischen hatte ich nicht die richtigen Worte gefunden, weswegen ich es auf Deutsch (als für Böhringer verständlich) schrieb... --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 20:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Vonwegen Schnappschuss und Komposition, ich war 3x auf diesem Berg und habe stundenlang gewartet um das richtige Licht zu bekommen. Damit der Stausee nicht so langweilig wie die meisten aussieht, habe ich bewusst die Staumauer mit einbezogen. Das gibt dem Bild eine zusätzliche Tiefe und dies wiederum lässt sich nur von diesem Standort ablichten. Solltest du mal einen 2500er schaffen, kannst du ja gerne einen besseren Standort für die gewünschte Komposition suchen, du wirst auch mit Seil und Bickel keinen finden. mfg. --Böhringer (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Einem Bild immer sofort anzusehen, welche Arbeit dahinter steckt, ist nicht leicht. Ich kenne mich in der Gegend nicht aus, und vom Klettern halte ich nicht viel. Du kannst es garantiert gut einschätzen, ob man einen besseren Standpunkt für den ganzen See hätte finden können. Jedoch bleibt mir nur das zu bewerten, was ich sehe, und da nur das halbe Hauptmotiv zu sehen ist, gefällt mir nicht (wohl Geschmackssache, dem einen gefällt es mehr, dem anderen weniger). Ich möchte auch noch mal sagen, dass die Qualität wirklich in Ordnung und die Farben/Lichtverhältnisse sehr schön ausgenutzt/aufgenommen wurden. Das alleine macht für mich aber die Verdeckung nicht wet und reicht imo alleine auch nicht, um ein Bild Exzellent zu nennen. Grüße --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 11:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Die Fläche, die nicht eingesehen werden kann, entspricht nicht der Hälfte sondern weniger als 1/4. Trotzdem vielen Dank für die Antwort. --Böhringer (talk) 20:44, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fossil shrimp
The thing is that this image is a panorama. For me it was the only way to take such high resolution image of the rather long shrimp, but of course it was a crazy idea to take panorama using close-up settings. If you look at the edges, you will see they do not look good at all Isome part in focus, some parts out of focus). Of course, I could have fixed them manually, but it is very time consuming job. So I decided that the shrimp - the most important part of the rock is to be shown good, and cut my panorama as I did. I agree it looks strange. I did left a natural edges in the front and in the back parts of the rock. --Mbz1 (talk) 13:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The images for the panorama were taken with point-and-shoot camera, with the same settings. The rock itself is sharper in some places than it is in others. I uploaded a new version over an old one. I hope it is better now. BTW thanks for the comments, everybody. I am glad you found the image interesting.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The outline may look strange but it emphasizes the fossile remainings of the shrimps. This remembers me to some panoramas constructed from shots of distant planets or moons (example) and it helps to focus on a particular feature. Just compare it with the first low-resolution upload to see the difference. Overall, I found it stunning and would just want to know where it was photographed or in which collection it is to be found. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:19, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know these fossils Lebanese, and this one is very good. You do not do him homage. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:13, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I asked, if I fix the cut, would it be OK, or there are other problems you see in the shrimp itself? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:17, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've uploaded File:Fossil shrimp cropped.jpg as a demonstration of how I'd like to see this image fixed, and trimmed down to a less unmanageable size.

Animated set of x-ray images of a webcam
The detector / x-ray camera delivers images with up to 3000x3000 pixel. Anyway, in these x-rays a physical factor 2 pixel binning was used, resulting in 1500 x 1500 pixel images. Image resolution is 77 microns/pixel! Image contrast was set to this level to make sure no details disappear. That´s how it is in x-rays... If you raise contrast, some of the light elemental materials might disappear. --SecretDisc (talk) 13:00, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Budapest: Vajdahunyad Castle
  •  Comment the photo is nice.. but it is a little bit distorted.. Look the buildings at the right and left part of the image.. and the notes.. Probably this can be corrected using a image processing software.. Ggia (talk) 10:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for your remark, but I don't see the distortion you mention. If you look at full res, the vertical lines are nicely vertical. Only the spire of the second tower from the right is slightly lopsided (in reality!). Otherwise, the 'distortions' are merely an optical effect, I guess. -- MJJR (talk) 16:17, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Takabeg (talk) 06:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - Overdone perspective correction. Buildings in photo have parallel edges, but the eye expects them to show perspective (the more distant tops to appear converging), so the result is an optical illusion making the buildings in the photo look wider at the top. - MPF (talk) 13:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
 Comment You were right about the dust spots. I have removed most of them. As far the DOF goes, the metadata has f/10 which I dont believe is too shallow. The reason why the background appears out-of-focus is because of the rising sand due the strong wind conditions. --JovianEye (talk) 19:37, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Better now. Some dustspots remained at the left border. The rising sand should be mentioned in the description. I hope the lens survived the sand. --Berthold Werner (talk) 08:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support While the image does have a short DOF, in my opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing in this case. I like it, as it focuses on one specific item out of many identical ones. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 19:13, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - The focus seems fine to me, and the composition is quite nice (especially with the birds). However, I have several concerns, among them the fact that I'm not sure what I'm looking at, and the file description is vague. These are obviously boats of some kind, but why so many lined up along the shore? Also, I'm not very fond of the lighting situation; the closest boat, which is presumably the main subject, is darkened by its own shadow to the point where much of the detail is invisible. Finally, the image is either tilted or distorted, as the sea shouldn't tilt downwards. –Juliancolton | Talk 21:40, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per Juliancolton. Jonathunder (talk) 22:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support  Comment The composition is good. Combination of horizon and vanishing point is well balanced. The point Juliancolton made about the focus of the view is reasonable: if cropping this via rules of thirds (cropping out from left to right until approx. where the vanishing point is) solves this issue. Using ISO 320 here is disputable though. In a daylight situation, even if photographed out of hand this should be avoided. Note the CA on the bird - removing this in post processing should as well be reconsidered. The sea tilting downwards could easily be corrected (a rotation of 1.2° would be sufficient). Applying these changes for another version of the image using the OOC image (RAW if available) would be great.--Peter Weis (talk) 00:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Karel (talk) 20:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think I will support my own picture, although when I took it, I just saw the scene, took the picture and did not process it as far as I can remember (except correcting the time in the exif). The boats are probably for fishing as this is in Kerala in a small village. The picture indeed has a rotation of approximately 1 degree, possibly 1.2 as Peter Weis indicates. I don't remember any rising sand just where I was, and the lens has been used for a five digit number of pictures since. (I do not have a raw version of this unfortunately.)

    Can you please describe what does not look right with the anatomy of the girl to the right?

My little secret, since this is fictional and not an anatomic study of an octopus. ;-) --Niabot (talk) 06:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm my english is approximate. The anatomy of the girl to the right isn't correct especially it looks like she has not bust, the breasts are placed on the pelvis. Her position is impossible : trying to do the same, you can't have your right head when you lose balance! Especially on the tip of one foot. For the left girl, the idea is not bad, but why leave a big gap in front she? The space is poorly managed... For the octopus, you're excused! :) --Citron (talk) 20:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ISO 400 creates visible noise and should be avoided by using a tripod or other suitable device for fixing the camera. If not possible denoising is recommended while post processing the image.

Catholic Church „St. Maria von der Immerwährenden Hilfe“ in Helminghausen
  • OK, don`t understand me wrong. As I wrote allready, it is a solid picture. The fact it is a stitched image is secondary and doesn't make the picture any better, quite the contrary, but thats another thing... This side (FPC) is to review and feature the best pictures on commons and imo this picture is a perfect quality image but NOT the best on commons! Not every nearly sharp picture which is showing something needs to be featured!! @Carschten: To assume me a partial assesment is just ridiculous and damn close to malicious! And this picture is a well balanced picture with a nice composition, better lighting and a more appealing background. IMO!! If an own oppinion is allowed... Sincerely yours mathias K 15:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The best of what? Churches at all? Churches in Germany? Of Helminghausen? … “Not every nearly sharp picture which is showing something needs to be featured!!” I don't find criteria against that except personal opinion. So have you ever asked why not doing that? In which way does it hurt anyone to feature featurable pictures? Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 09:54, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • mhm, yeah, that's right. This annoys me too, but it was not prevent at all. The church hans't any overexposed pieces. The sun shined hard on the clouds to this time in this mountainous landscape. I think that reflections from the water reservoir also provoked the cloud-overexposure. So, as I said, it was inevitable, and meanwhile I'm not thinking that the overexposure is disturbing.

  • 1. correct exposure (check the camera intern histogramm after taking a picture)
2. using a filter (polarizer, graduated ND, or just ND)
3. exposure blending -- mathias K 16:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • HAHAHA, thats funny! So you say raising the dynamic range of an digital camera by using exposure blending isn't photography? But stitching 4 pictures to one panorama using a computer program is still? Hm what a pitty, than are these pictures ([6] [7] [8] just 3 for example) just good enough for the recycle bin cause theire are all done with exposure blending... Thats sad! --mathias K 16:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I neither like stiching. But you're mixing statements and actions resp. FPCs and photography: I can of course support stiched and dynamic range raised images because I like them or cannot see whether they are changed. But simple photography (pressing the button in a given situation) is neither of them, imho (I have never said that this file is done by photography, it is, in fact, not).

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Flat lighting? The main light is coming from top which is natural for insects. The additional flash is weak enough not to produce additional shadows on the legs. --Ikiwaner (talk) 06:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The sun ligthing is coming from above, behind the camera, adding to the flat depiction of the thorax and specular reflections. I know we cannot put the bar at Richard's level (yet). But pictures like this one and this one are standards we should pursuit. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
