Krigsgiljan high cliff at Loddebo
  • Benh, the reason there is so little water at the bottom, is because there is so little water. This photo is taken from a stone pier running along and outwards from the cliff (see the place on Google map). If I had gone wider at the bottom, it would have been bushes and grass on the left side (see this photo) and boats and jetties to the right (see this photo). I think that a clean waterline is better. Sometimes you have to give in to geography. --cart-Talk 22:03, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I could, but then the upward/outward angle would be too great to cover the whole cliff (it is high, steep and wide) in panorama without any serious distortion. Since I don't have a DSLR that I can fit with the perfect lens for each photo-op, I always have to weigh the pros and cons when I take pictures. Since the cliff itself was the main subject, I was more interested in getting it right than having more water. If this gets promoted, I'm sure someone with better equipment than mine can go to the cliff, make a perfect shot and then have my version delisted. I'm not trying to make you change your vote, I only explain the situation. --cart-Talk 20:48, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@W.carter: Thanks; I checked again and it is working just fine ... delicious! Those cliffs remind me of a popular climbing spot in the Adirondacks (not that I climb; a little scrambling during a hike is enough for me). I can see some spots where I'm sure some climbers would like to set up a rope. Daniel Case (talk) 18:53, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment DoF is not a question of choice in sports photography. This is shot at 200mm and even if I had closed the aperture to 22 the DoF of the image would not be more than 3m, leaving the second skier unsharp. Imagine I would have closed the aperture that far I would have had to raise the ISO to 12800 or higher cause in sports photography you can't just adjust your shutter speed, you need to stick with 1/1000th (or faster) of a second. There's a reason why sports photographers use lenses with f/2.8 throughout and only at f/2.8. Next time in that very same position I'll grab me a 400mm f/2.8 for still less DoF. Because we all know the truth: the second is the first loser and you can't depict this better as by blurring the rest of the bunch. --Granada (talk) 13:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blond and green rice fields in Laos
  • I don't get the smiley, but I suppose a pun for native English-speakers ? So, if I understand well the opposition here, that's because a cloud is hidden behind a tree ? Since the sheaf has now been removed with the crop. @Daniel Case: Or is there any other reason ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:54, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Support now. The tree in front of the cloud isn't so bad now without the sheaf (yes, "crop" has a double meaning here, especially with a sheaf showing). Daniel Case (talk) 04:59, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

View of the Badaia mountain range in the fog, in the background the Vitoria mountain range. Álava, Basque Country, Spain
  • Thank you, PumpkinSky. Yes, you're right, the trees are a bit dark. The problem was the contrast with the bright light (and the shot was almost against the sun). The other thing is that these are mainly holm oaks which have quite dark green (evergreen) leaves. Further, their waxy layer reflects the sun light as you can see on the image. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:04, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stockholm City Hall
The structure on the shadow side is fine and visible. I don't see washed out areas on this image. --Wladyslaw (talk) 21:37, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wladyslaw, you cannot have a conversation with another user about what colours you and they see unless you actually offer an image that defines what colours it contains. This image lacks an embedded colour profile. So what other people see is random and your fault, not theirs. My guess is the lack of saturation here is the harsh light, but it might possibly also be if you are using your monitor in wide-gamut mode, haven't calibrated it properly with the O/S and the software you use you view images, and are simply enjoying the oversaturated unrealistic colours that result. -- Colin (talk) 08:57, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hard wind and waves at Hanstholm
  • Rhod, that is not a buoy, but a fixed structure at the end of the pier. From what I can see, it is either a beacon/navigation mark alerting boats that there is a pier, or a box for collecting weather data. For anyone used to being on a boat, such marks are crucial and very attractive. It is visible in every photo of the pier I can find and I don't think we should remove fixed landmarks like that. --cart-Talk 22:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yep, having looked a bit closer at the photo of the harbor I linked to above, I can see that it is probably part of a Leading lights system.

Peulle, Benh, is this not a photo. Credits at the end of a video are standard practice and a way of giving credit/attribution/licence information appropriate to the medium. Other FPs with credits include File:La Piragua.ogv, File:¿Qué es Wikipedia?.ogv, File:Cheetahs on the Edge (Director's Cut).ogv to pick a few. -- Colin (talk) 12:24, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Disregarding the fact that I am of the opinion that the first two of those videos are so poor in quality that they should be delisted,  Question by which guidelines should we judge videos if not by the image guidelines? --Peulle (talk) 12:43, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • So? Watermarks are a standard practice too (albeit a slighty more distractive one). I'm just annoyed that I'm forced to watch the ending credits. Again, the file page seems enough to me. - Benh (talk) 21:14, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Watermarks aren't really standard practice on professional work. Amateurs with an inflated view of the value of their work, yes. Video and film credits are absolutely standard. However, the internet is changing that. If this was on Youtube, you'd have to watch five minutes of the guy thanking you and welcoming you to his channel and telling you what he's going to do today, and then at the end, five minutes of him telling you how to subscribe to his channel to watch more awesome videos like this. -- Colin (talk) 21:42, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • One more example of why is this community is outdated
First @Benh and Peulle: this is not a photo. Different from a photo, the ending do not corrupt the massage, and didn't take the attention of the main content, also do not difficult editions. All reasons to not "tag" a photo here, I didn't put a watermark at the corners, the equivalent of "tag" a photo here. So you should understand the rule, before apply it.
Benh the solution to the problem is the same size of some Wikipedia articles. I didn't have workforce or time to do it yet. And this is an addition, as a link for a Wikipedia article in other files.
  • I'm sorry, but in itself, that video isn't very self explanatory. The english caption should give us enough clue to understand why the wagon moves following that pattern. This is even more frustrating because the problem is actually interesting to me. - Benh (talk) 21:08, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Peulle we should already created specific guidelines for it, it's already 2018 and we can't have videos VI, QI almost always videos take longer to be evaluated, and most of the time none gives a single opinion and expire. Is more than time to do it.
Colin if you google it, you will find this, the CC-by only asks for the by, not for a list of whole crew. And I'm here since 2006, former OTRS volunteer, and giving workshops about free license since 2008, I can guarantee you that all credit was given. Just to you calm down, the mix is based in another cc-by [1].
And I didn't "just who set up the camera", for the second video I took the ~1000 photos to create it, I did all light set up, all the direction, edited the audio (modifying the music to fit), edited all the video... sorry, but who moves the blocks is not a copyright information needed. When a script was necessary I gave the credit: File:Aritmética das engrenagens.webm
For the boring part:
"Not interesting in my opinion, sorry. My reaction is "So what? A wooden model bus is jerkily traveling back and forth along a curvy line for no apparent reason."
"While the video has obviously taken a great deal of time and effort to make and it is fun to watch that little woody thing finding its way along the track (and it is technically well done since I first thought the wood-thing had some electrical connection to the "rail" in the same way an electric train runs)"
That's the why I created this set, and uploaded this videos. To those that couldn't understand that had a person manipulating it. That's why we have the "boring video"
@Benh, Peulle, Basile Morin, and Peulle: this is not a "self promotion", we are creating content for the Humankind, and most of times this media runs without given credited, as I already said, this do not disturb the content, so nothing that you are saying fits for videos. And this is an evaluation of set, because the community completed about a version without the hands. Furthermore, this is a partnership, so given 2s to the partner at the end of the video, after they open theirs doors for the Wikimedia Movement, is not much.
So, yeah, we are in 2008.

  •  Comment I am not against creating specific criteria for judging videos or other media, but currently we have only the existing guidelines to go by. My vote therefore stands.--Peulle (talk) 18:40, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Definitely a VI, but per Colin the first one, like any single-take video, gets really boring really quickly. Secondly, while your explanation of the music credits is welcome, I would like to see it explicitly stated on the file description page that the music is CC-BY-SA as well (Separate music credits are yet another major impediment to people making their own videos for our projects, and we need to have examples of how to do it right IMO).

Discussion about license
  • This is an audio-visual work. The audio is "CC BY 3.0 Stefan Kartenberg" yet your video claims "CC BY-SA 4.0 Matemateca (IME/USP)/Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton". There are several problems here. The first is that your licence to the music requires you to credit the author "Stefan Kartenberg" and although this appears in the video it does not appear on the file description. It must. Secondly you are not legally permitted to mix CC BY with CC BY-SA. See CC Licence compatibility. If you want to use this music in your work then you need to release it under CC BY, without the SA, as you are trying to impose more restrictive terms than the author of the music required. If you disagree, then I suggest you send it to DR to find out rather than patronising me. Wrt your comment about people being confused why the model bus is moving around, the one with the hand isn't much better. It just looks like someone is doing some kind of tedious puzzle game, rather than that this is an explanation of some mathematical importance. So the video needs an introduction to be properly appreciated. Hopefully any re-user of this work will provide an introduction somehow. -- Colin (talk) 20:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are totally wrong about CC-by, totally.
Just go and find I'll not argue about it.
Since when deletion request is a place to find answer about license? Jesus, you are out of mind.
-- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 22:43, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin: Unsure what you mean refering to this chart: CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are marked as compatible there. Ankry (talk) 08:01, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ankry, I see that now. Sorry, I misread the chart -- the font is rather small and I'm getting old. That's my excuse. I believed "SA" was a restriction like "NC" and "ND" which cannot be mixed with less restrictive licences. It appears that although it is a restriction, CC don't mind. There is still a problem that RTA has still not provided correct attribution on the file description page, which is a licence requirement. The BY aspect of the music licence requires both attribution and also a correct declaration of the licence the music work is used under. So the page needs some declaration that the music is CC BY and the name(s) of the writer/performer. So the works are still not correctly used per-licence. The abusive nomination responses and careless use of other's works falls far below the standard we expect at FP. -- Colin (talk) 08:15, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I could see supporting the second on its own, modified, but I agree that the text at the end is problematic for FPC. Ultimately, the text does not itself add any educational value to the video, and thus if I were to add it to a Wikipedia article, I would likely edit it myself to remove that text beforehand. So I have to ask myself, which one would be the better FP -- the one that maximizes the educational content of the video, or the one that has text that doesn't add educational value. I would also probably even remove the music, which doesn't seem necessary (that is not to say that there isn't any possible musical accompaniment -- just that I don't know what it would be). To be clear, though, since I know a series of opposes can give the idea that people don't value the content, it is definitely a good, valuable contribution and I hope to support a version of it in the future. — Rhododendrites talk |  21:05, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lake, the Mondsee (near Oberbergau)
@Colin: The difference between this sort of vacation in England and New England, I guess . Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • None of those examples gives me the same feeling as this photo, they just look dark and gloomy. There is something special about this image that is tantalizing. It has to do with the soft steely light on the water, the way the cloud comes in over the hill, the shadows in the little bay and the lonelyness of the small boats. The bay is also framed very beautifully by the reeds, it has the same composition as an old Japanese wood print. It all comes together in this photo and that gives it a wow for me. Getting a feeling across is not just about photographing some dark clouds, it has everything to do with what subject or landscape they relate to. --cart-Talk 12:07, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Church Eksjö, Sweden
  •  Oppose Even looking at the histogram, there is practically no white in the image and this is not a grey church. Also the distortion of the tower is too great. Sorry. --cart-Talk 10:00, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Histogram
  • W.carter: Then I recommend you strictly to learn reading histograms correctly. The curve of over- or underexposed images go to the borders. Well balanced histograms are placed away from the borders. And so it is here. This image is definitly NOT underexposed.Nevertheless I have brightend the curve a bit. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:13, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I know how to read histograms and IMO this is a little too far from the right, but thank you for taking your time to educate me further. --cart-Talk 19:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't spread fake news around. W.Carter has it right. White churches under bright daylight definitely don't show that kind of centered histogram, but shall have a peak on the right because... well there's lot of well lit white. When you go skiing, you overexpose. Use your metering correctly, and don't follow rules blindly. - Benh (talk) 19:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The histograms of underexposed images appears shifted to the left. This histogram has not this behaviour. This is not fake, but fact. Did you accuse me to fake the histogram? Everybody can open the image and test this by himself and open the histogram. Very white buildings in very lucent sunny weather conditions I shift carefuly to a darker curve because eroded white parts is also not very considerable. This shifting I may do too strong therefore I have reduced it right now as I mentioned. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not accusing you of faking the histogram, but of making false claims: Well balanced histograms are placed away from the borders.... where the hell did you see that? At most it can be a rule of thumb applicable in most (but not all) situations, but why would we have to avoid borders? If they are here, it's for a reason. Just know when to use them. - Benh (talk) 19:45, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please Wladyslaw, don't take the comments and sugestions personally remember that it's not a beauty ego contest, it's a nice place to improve your photographic quality, the road to continuous improvement is criticism. Please, if you are not able to receive recommendations and criticism, maybe you could take a brake.

Quite a big. There's no scale associated to the "value" of the colours in this file and you basically see random ones. @Colin: has tried to explain very thoroughly (and probably even has written an introduction to it, but I'm currently too lazy to look for it) but there's also this. A bit annoying that our FP don't even have the proper metadata for a proper viewing (but many don't care about a proper exposed picture either so...) - Benh (talk) 05:51, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I already had said several times. I've adjusted everythink possible to safe the sRGB colour space in all my programms. Even I made screeenshots of the settings. Nothing wrong was visible. I dont't have a problem because of this lacking information. Most of the users seem to see the image quite correctly. Because of the reminded overexposure I'll look after this this evening. I can lighten the image moderatly. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:00, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wladyslaw has had it explained to him before how to embed the colour profile in his images. He's even managed it once or twice. He simply refuses to do so routinely, and repeatedly, for many many years, because he can't be bothered as it "looks ok on my monitor", which is set to sRGB. Anyone viewing on a wide-gamut display may not see the colours properly. It is all a bit random and depends if your browser guesses that it is "probably sRGB". Many still do not. It is fairly easy to tell if your image lacks the correct profile: stick it in Jeffrey's EXIF Viewer. -- Colin (talk) 08:39, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What should Jeffrey's EXIF Viewer be usefull for? My EXIF Data I can read also without this tool. Beside of that: this tool does not generate an output. And once again: My images all have sRGB. This I can see on the RAW files. Once I convert the RAWs info JPG the coulur space info disappears and I have not found a way to add this back again and no one could answer why this is so. --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A raw file does not have a colourspace at all. It is not sRGB nor AdobeRGB. The little embedded JPG in the raw file may be sRGB or AdobeRGB but this does not matter if you process the raw file. We have already posted in the past to your talk page how to embed the colourspace. It is certainly possible with EXIFTOOL. I recall it is possible in GIMP but not very obvious how to do it. Both EXIFTOOL and Jeffrey's EXIF Viewer will tell you if there is an embedded colourspace. I remember from experimenting in the past that GIMP's dialogs are confusing / wrong when reporting colourspace. You are one of the few people here who gets this wrong, and yet other people have the same cameras and similar software. Talk to them and find out what you are doing wrong. -- Colin (talk) 20:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose on further reflection after reading Colin's !vote. Daniel Case (talk) 17:02, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly not jet althought the "sRGB" is now in the EXIF, but there is possibly missing the embedding. But I'm working on this problem to solve it finally. --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"But" now one can see the small deficits lenses produce with a camera that has the same pixel density as my D850: small amounts of CAs, small amounts of halos around contrasting edges and small amounts of unsharpness.

@W.carter: A.Savin When you are taking pictures of architectural wonders or beautiful landscapes it's very easy to get a wow effect and finally a FP. I think that those architectural wonders are always there wainting for be shooted because they can be photographed by anyone in any time and the change on this building or landspace is minimal in decades and just the next year someone will make a better picture because this type of photography has more to do with the camera power camera than the photographer himself. Turning ordinary things into wonderful is what makes a good photographer, however, it is more difficult to impact when you take pictures of common things but of fleeting moments that will not come back again. In this particular case, it is a photograph that is the result of the 3 year work (It seems unbelievable but it is true). Each day I was going to take the same picture, taking care of the details and looking for a way to make it better the next day. Taking a picture inside a moving car is a very difficult task especially because there is little lighting, people are in constant motion (especially in the most densely traveled metro in the world sao paulo) and a great depth of field is necessary. This photo is not particularly great and a photo should not be explained to be FP, however, I think that in this section, in the evaluation process, we are basing ourselves only on visual aspects without taking into account some particularities. My comment is more general and not specifically about this image that I'm honestly not sure I can or can not be FP.--The Photographer 15:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @The Photographer: I think you misunderstood me very much!! I was not criticizing your photo at all, I was only concerned that you had revealed the name of a Commons user and in a way told everyone that it was a person in this photo. I was thinking about that user's right to have their Commons name protected. That has nothing to do with the quality of your photo, which is actually very good under such difficult circumstances. --cart-Talk 15:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment There are several possibilities to photograph a metro train interior: you can wait till the train has stopped (to avoid camera shake), you can make the photo at late hour (so that it's not much crowded). Yes it's more difficult than a building at sunny day, but still not particularly challenging to say "wow" just because of technically good shot. For those, there is COM:QIC. --A.Savin 05:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - I looked at a couple, neither of which I thought were sharp enough, but I think that's really more a question for Com:Photography critiques. Have you tried submitting any photos to com:qic? QIC's criteria aren't the same as FPC's, but it's unusual for a photo that fails at QIC to pass at FPC.

I'm still OK with this new version. Daniel Case (talk) 16:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Question then why this vote? - Benh (talk) 08:06, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment @Charlesjsharp: I've uploaded a new version with changed white balance and a bit selective darkening the background. In ternms of sharpness please note that the ski-bob-lady shot by Isiwal is downscaled, which is perfectly o.k. to me, but I fully intentionally left Fabian Rießle at 100% because his face is reasonably sharp enough for print and other possible reuses. --Granada (talk) 06:51, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sharpness is ok and it's action-y, but the main subject is in shadow while the background is in sunlight and that's seldom a good combo. Also the skiers aren't that separated from the rather busy background and the shadow gives the snow a rather unpleasant greenish tint. Sorry. --cart-Talk 18:33, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Question Shouldn't this !vote be struck now? Daniel Case (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No. One vote per picture up to the block is ok according to the discussion that followed the debacle. Only the noms that have the PS/HG double votes get one of those votes struck. --cart-Talk 19:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Granada: Unfortunately, that is how it is many times, since most users don't want to give an 'O' without careful consideration. If you want to end the nomination, you have to put the {{withdraw}} at the end of the nom and sign it, please. --cart-Talk 11:41, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: PumpkinSky's vote made me post that I should close this nomination, but now I'll leave it open as I'm still convinced that it's a great shot as noted by Daniel Case. btw: I tried to dim the background by laying a mask over it, but then the image looks purely unnatural. No good idea. --Granada (talk)
  • Perfectly ok. Even though I voted 'opposed', I still think it may have a chance and if the majority votes for it, I'm fine with that. That's how the system works. :) --cart-Talk 13:12, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Btw, small tip for you. If you take the white balance from the snow in front instead of the huts behind the trees, do a selective very small darkening of the background's mid-tones and bring up the foreground's highlights a little bit, I think it will make the photo look better. --cart-Talk 13:33, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: Thank you very much for that hint. This was one of the first images I uploaded quite quickly while the event was still running (this was the first of three days) and did not much care about white balance. I'm now almost finished (took about 4000 shots) and I noticed once again that the auto-wb of the D850 works fantastic in comparison to the D4 I had before, but that it could help a lot to tweak it a few degrees (+3 warmer in Lightroom is enough in most cases). Especially in such tough lighting situations with bright snow and stray light of the sun coming through the trees. --Granada (talk) 13:51, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @W.carter: I've uploaded a new version with changed white balance and a bit darker background (made an auto mask in LR based on about the brighter midtones and lowered the lights and the shadows in the masked area) --Granada (talk) 17:23, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, I'll take this under consideration later. When you alter your nomination this way, you must also 'ping' all the other voters (I think you can skip PumpkinSky), even those who voted for the photo, since they may or may not like this new version. --cart-Talk 17:36, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Actually it's been quite late in the afternoon with a beginning sunset so the colors are now more correct than the blueish tint it had before due to much of the light being reflected by the snow. :) --Granada (talk) 12:41, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure, because downscaling also provides an impression of poorer quality when looking at full size (less impressive format). Also a high resolution is useful for further crops, in case of a reuse for example. Here at 6Mp, I find the face just okay, but not exceptionnal. Smooth, like lacking texture. But my main objection is the background, too busy -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My personal recommendation is that a well-made photo does not need so many retouching.

  •  Comment - Very understandable objection. I decided that it works quite well enough, anyway, but people tend to be sticklers about crops at FPC. Interestingly, loads of painters don't have the same standards about cropping that we tend to have at FPC, and this includes great painters and great paintings. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:00, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Ironically, cropping even more (say, in half) might have the opposite effect; increasing the focus on the road instead of the trees, improving the composition. Not sure that would be the best solution, though.--Peulle (talk) 23:28, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Super moon over City of London from Tate Modern
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture/Cityscapes
  •  Info Like many photographers inspired to take a photo of the recent super moon, I chose an elevated position -- the viewing gallery at the top of the Tate Modern in London -- and waited for the moon to appear. Tripods were very much not allowed :-( so pixel-peeping quality is what you'd expect from hand-held low-light. I think the view is wonderful, with lots of interesting buildings and new construction going on. The moon is captured neatly between the Willis Building and the Walkie-Talkie. The available light, artificial light and moon brightness are all optimal for a single exposure. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 21:57, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Colin (talk) 21:57, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Yes, it is a good photo, an interesting cityscape, very encyclopedic, etc. But when all is said and done, it is just another very good skyline with the moon. Going for composition, imagination, novelty, interest, humor, well everything that a really wow-y photo should have, I'd take File:Super moon over City of London from Tate Modern 2018-01-31 6.jpg anytime over this. That photo makes you look twice and the second time you realize that you actually see much more than just half the moon. A photo named "Super moon... something" should have the moon as the main character/focal point, in this nom it is just an accessory to the skyline, dwarfed by the buildings. You did an excellent series of this event and I have another favorite than you. --cart-Talk 22:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't give much consideration to the filename (it is one of seven different photos with the same name pattern), so I wouldn't read it as a title for this work. The whole super moon thing is a bit of fun, great if it gets people interested in astronomy or out taking pictures, but the full moon isn't noticeably smaller next month. Perhaps it is ironic that this so-called super moon, really is dwarfed by a gherkin, cheese-grater and walkie-talkie. So, cover up the "super" word with your thumb, if it helps :-). I'll have a think about the other photo as a later nom perhaps -- it isn't an alt. -- Colin (talk) 08:39, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair enough, but please nominate the other photo too, don't be stingy. ;-) I know that you always advocate that we should be very selective with our nominations, that is why I made the comment above, but I think we could stand two photos from this event. :) --cart-Talk 08:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just came across this article. The photographer was 15km away whereas I was 1.5km away from the buildings, but obviously we were both pointing in similar directions. He had a 500mm lens + 2x converter making 1000mm focal length. And a very sturdy video tripod. The photos look cool and he considers them the best he's taken in his life! But would these murky 0.4MP images pass FP here? It was actually this guy's blog that I used to find my viewpoint on the Tate Modern, as he recommends several London viewpoints. After the moon went behind the Walkie-Talkie, I went down to the Thames bank and could use my tripod and 500mm lens (equivalent to 750mm on full frame). But the moon was higher now and the sky darker, so this image was my best shot. At least our moons are real, unlike Peter Lik's Photoshop fail. -- Colin (talk) 10:14, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You beat me... I forgot to suggest that for this to work, you need longer focals (but yes, this also implies you need to have a proper spot for a similar framing). Nice scouting and anticipation though :) - Benh (talk) 18:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • If you do sports action photography downscaling images is the standard procedure of choice. The D850 features 46MP and that's exactly why I got me a D850 for shooting sports. It allows me to crop images and still have lots of megapixels left. Next as in the above image that was shot at ISO 3200 I can still downscale images to compensate for slight misses in sharpness in an overall great shot. Finally this image still has 5MP, way too much for sending it to the newspapers - they want not more than 2MP. I'm a wikipedian and shooting at national matches gives me the opportunity to take the best portrait shots ever during the hymn ceremonies before every match and that's why I attend those matches for. You may want to compare these recent images from that match Austria vs. Czechia the above image is from Category:Men's_handball_Austria_-_Czechia_2018-05-01 (the portraits have about 2-5MP and are cropped tight enough) to these older ones made with my old D4: File:20170316 OEHB Ladies AUT-CZE Tulln Josefine Huber DSC 2838.jpg (1.5MP and cropped not really tight enough). --Granada (talk) 09:38, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am a pure wikipedian and those action shots are a by-product while taking portrait shots for the articles on Wikipedia. I don't sell any of my photographs to any kind of newspaper or press photo agency, but I need those action shots as these are the kind of photographs sometimes being reused elsewhere to argue for renewal of my press card. It was hard enough to obtain a press card if you don't earn your money through photography as a door opener to other sports events and I'm proud it has "Wikipedia" printed on it. --Granada (talk) 13:46, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose Thanks Granada for your explain, however, Charles commented, Commons is not oriented only to commercial/newspaper. There are a importand information for each pixel and noise, and maybe rightnow it is irrelevant, however, in the future it would be interesting to have this photo in the largest possible size. I am convinced that with the new advances in photography, there will be mechanisms with artificial intelligence to better eliminate noise and give greater clarity. To vote positive for this photo is to stimulate the bad practice of downsizing. BTW, 1/1000 it was an excessive speed, necessary only perhaps in F1 car sports. [2] --The Photographer 20:48, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Yes, 1/1000 sec is necessary for a reasonably high hit rate in handball. At lower shutter speeds you will definitely see motion blur. @The Photographer: the guidelines for FP do not explicitly forbid downscaling. Please have a look at the featured sports pictures that were shot indoors (most of them are handball). The are _all_ downscaled for the very same reasons I did it with mine. --Granada (talk) 07:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Don't worry, I'm not into sockpuppetry (in fact my only WP account Granada exists since 2004 and once was not even global). Sad enough that one of my nominations were double-opposed by PumpkinSky and HalfGig. --Granada (talk) 09:12, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Syzygium samarangense fruit (Java apple) in a plate, with cross section
  • The reason why I used a simple plate is basically to indicate that this fruit is edible. Without element of this kind, how to guess that one can eat it, really ? It's such a rare fruit, most of the people have never seen it, neither in a shop nor in a book. Then, putting it in a plate (and most of the plates are traditionally white, like glasses are transparent) gives an extra information on the product, I think -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:53, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps someone should take a picture of some Tide detergent pods on a white plate with some appealing sides and condiments. No, they shouldn't. Daniel Case (talk) 20:29, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, it's a rare fruit, and if it was not, you would certainly not have described the taste and the consistance for the readers who have never tasted it. This is not a mango, a pineapple, or a coconut, this is rarer. I'm not saying the syzygium samarangense cannot be found in some specific places, I'm just saying it's not widespread in the world. Laos included (although it can grow here). Not common in the markets, neither in small or big cities. Cherimoya, dragonfruit, jackfruit, or durian are also exotic, but surely better known, through their names and appearances. If the syzygium samarangense was not so rare, it would certainly be already among the 104 other fruits identified in this list, including the kumquat, the longan, the jabuticaba, and the nance. And do we know all of them ? -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:28, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Botanical Garden of Olarizu, a birch leaf in the snow. Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spain
  • Colin, just a note. Sparkles in snow are not related to focus but to the viewing angle of reflected light. It is damn hard to get any surface of snow to sparkle more since those infernal snow flakes/crystals are angled in all directions. I have tried several times and failed... :( The only way is to have light sources from different angles, which is not practical outddors. Perversely, you get a grander "lightshow" with snow reflections out of focus since they then "bloom" and become larger bokeh blobs. Example or pixelpeep this. --cart-Talk 10:26, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cart, looking at this image, the out-of-focus sparkles are dimmer. I guess the same amount of light is spread over a wider area than if in focus. Perhaps then the problem here is the snow is not in bright light, or is under exposed. Only when the sparkles are blown-out (as one would expect specular reflections of the sun to be) are they still bright enough to sparkle as bokeh blobs. I just feel a simple motive like this needs something magical going on around it, otherwise it is too ordinary. -- Colin (talk) 11:14, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lifting hook with a safety latch hanging from a bridge crane
  • The background is a steel door in the old workshop. The right side is where the handle is and many, many dirty welders' hands have pushed at that part of the door through the years. Some other photos from the same place are these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It's not a very clean place. --cart-Talk 17:18, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point, fortunately the maker's mark is stamped on the hook and I've added that to the description. The use of it is actually in the title, but I've elaborated somewhat on it in the description. In a mechanical workshop, a hook hanging from a bridge crane is about as common and versatile as a hammer or a wrench. And don't forget that I'm also enthusiastic about other people's work, your's included. ;) --cart-Talk 08:37, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Marta Torné at the 32nd Goya Awards, 2018.
  •  Oppose I agree with Charles on this one. She is very beautiful and the pose is good but she is standing so close to the wall with all the logos that not only do the logos intrude on the portrait (especially since there is such a variety of them, just one logo repeated is better since it forms a pattern) but she also seems crammed up against the wall. In photos like in Category:Österreichischer Filmpreis 2017 or this photo from the same event as the one in the nom, the subjects were standing a bit away from the wall and it was possible for the photographer to blurr the logos with a shallow DoF. --cart-Talk 11:05, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - It's interesting to see what bugs people, and thanks for talking me through that. There are things that bug me that don't bug you, too. I really don't care much about bits and pieces of promotional material, even though they aren't an integral part of the composition the way [I didn't mean "they want"] the words in newspaper clippings are in a collage by Picasso. If this becomes a deal-breaker, so be it; at least I tried. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course, at such an event that's what the companies are paying for: their logo being seen next to a celebrity. As is that fantastic, very expensive haute couture dress she is wearing, on loan from Gabriel Lage. She might even have been payed to wear it; that is not uncommon when designers are competing to be seen at such events. --cart-Talk 11:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jarl Magnus Riiber, currently second in nordic combined world cup 2017/18 shot while waiting for the interview to begin with Norwegian TV.
  • I think there are at least 3 good reasons for this picture being featured. 1) Excellent quality, high resolution, right focus, sharp image and low ISO. 2) Portrait of a sportman in situation, with technical equipment, special clothes, badges and sponsors. 3) Famous personality present in at least 10 different languages of Wikipedia : Jarl Magnus Riiber. Then definitely an important shot IMO -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:14, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • For me, the situation is unimpressive. If the guy was just crossing the line of an important race, or jumping for joy on the podium, I'd agree that there was something special going on. In this case, it's just a portrait, and I don't agree that such images should be hailed as the finest on Commons. If we did, we'd be saying that any good image of an athlete is exceptional, and I don't think it is.--Peulle (talk) 07:24, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Peulle, this is for 'People#Portrait' and it sounds like you are confusing it with 'Sports'. Please take a look at Commons:Featured pictures/People#Portrait. No one in that section is crossing or jumping anything, it is "just" very good head shots of peoples from different walks of life. And even if you stated above that such photos ("it's just a portrait") should not be hailed as the finest on Commons, there are a lot of them. A portrait is about capturing a subject sharp, in good lighting, with a good expression, preferably with something that relates to the person or in a situation where the person is in his/hers element. I'd say this ticks all those boxes. --cart-Talk 09:15, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Super moon over City of London from Tate Modern
  • "Paste a moon"? After this? If we suggest such things we're no better than Peter Lik. Exposure bracketing is one thing and it doesn't work here since the moon is moving too fast, but pasting sounds a bit too rich for me in a photo like this. --cart-Talk 11:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If there are several elements in an image requiring a different exposure for a natural impression, it is not fake to compose these elements in a differentiated way. I´m sure that pure eyes got another impression here then presented. --Milseburg (talk) 11:51, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Milseburg, the moon wasn't over-exposed wrt brightness -- there was plenty headroom in the raw file and no clipping. A shorter exposure might be marginally sharper because the moon is moving and the atmosphere this close to the ground makes it especially wobbly. I have another with half the exposure time (though twice the iso) that is not sharper. You aren't really going to get a sharp image of the moon this close to the horizon and any moon you see that is sharp and near the horizon is a fake. Peter Lik's stupid image not only has clouds impossibly behind the moon, but has the moon super sharp and crisp -- something that can only be achieved on the clearest day with the moon high and by merging many dozens of frames and applying special sharpening techniques. And then of course upper-sky moon is the wrong colour and the wrong brightness for low-sky. The moon is the brightest element in this scene and I wanted to retain that, to have it glow on your monitor rather than looking like someone had stuck on a circular piece of paper. When one photographs the moon higher in the black sky, like File:Moon 2017-02-17 UK.jpg, one can arrange for it to be any brightness you like, though that is far less bright than it was to the eye. The moon close to the ground, in the blue hour, can be photographed with one exposure quite satisfactorily and realistically. Once it gets higher up, it is as bright as the daylight on sand, and that's when one has to play tricks like pasting in another exposure if you need to preserve the exposure on a dark land. -- Colin (talk) 14:19, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don´t think that your moon is blown out, but i´ts too bright in my eyes. Structures on the lunar surface such as the lunar mare are slightly outshone and less recognizable than I know from observations with own eyes. This image some supermoons before over another capital city is showing the moon more detailed and naturaly, without beeing a fake. --Milseburg (talk) 11:15, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Documentation on the clip? In what language? It includes a description in the file, inserting texts in a video is not a good option. -Theklan (talk) 10:55, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Texts or explanations can't be in the video, as Commons is a multilanguage project. -Theklan (talk) 10:55, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Theklan: Yes, it's a multilanguage project and that means that all languages are accepted, not the other way around that no language is ok. The best way is to have the texts in some major language, such as Spanish like in this FP video. In this one the texts are in English and in this you got both Spanish and English. If the clip is short and just shows one specific thing like this, there is no need for texts since it has a good description linked to Wikipedia articles. Your video didn't even have that, I added that to the file's description. Your video is like a small documentary and for those it is best to have some kind of text explain what's going on, like it's done in this one. For your film you could have made something like this (but in Spanish): "Momotxorro" /cut/ "at the Carnival of Alsasua" /cut/ --film-- /cut/ "Each year at the carnival" /cut/ "people dress up as Momotxorro" /cut/ "an imaginary being, half man and half bull" /cut/ --film-- /cut/ "Film by Theklan" /cut/ "Filmed in Basque Country 2018". If you are making a video for FPC, it is always best to have a look at the vidoes that are FP already. --cart-Talk 09:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think we all understand the concept of bokeh and reasons for using it here (I didn't at first, but I do now, and I think everyone else does). That's not the point. The point is that the background, although blurred, still distracts the viewer too much from the catkins. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:24, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Veteran at Belgian National Day
 Comment How is he a "public figure"? There is a difference between this and being a private individual in a public place. The focus of this image is clearly not the event, but the person, so unless he has given consent to being individually photographed (rather than having photos taken of many people where he is one of them), I see an issue with privacy here.--Peulle (talk) 15:32, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I could be mistaken, but I think soldiers in some sort of uniform, as well as other public servants/officials in uniform, count as public figures. In US military at least, the beret is considered a distinctive part of the uniform, signaling that you are considered an active or veteran military. [3], [4]. There is also this from the UK. And nobody complained about privacy issues in this soldier nom. --cart-Talk 16:25, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment He is a former soldier, standing in the ranks of the same former soldiers, in military headgear and with awards on the chest, and in a few minutes they will solemnly pass through the square in front of the Palais de Bruxelles. They will be greeted by the King, Government, a large number of guests and spectators. Be sure that on this day the veterans are very public figures. -- Ввласенко (talk) 17:57, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Exactly. I was going to say that, and you express it even better. Charles: You are playing on words... Regards, Yann (talk) 18:00, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Per COM:IDENT#Belgium: "Consent is also implied or not needed for depicting people related to news events of public interest, and when a person is incidentally shown in a photograph depicting some public location or event." Game, set and match as far as we all should be concerned.

I mean, really, Charles, some day PETA or some such successor organization will start arguing for all your wildlife images to be defeatured and deleted because there's no evidence you got the animal's consent, or that it's humiliating and degrading for the animal to be photographed unknowingly in the middle of a public wilderness in what it thought was going to be a private moment for it to have some emotional catharsis. Do you really want to follow this to its logical conclusion? Daniel Case (talk) 17:57, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't interrupt this otherwise interesting exchange with reductio ad absurdum arguments - personality rights is a real thing that should be discussed from time to time when specific cases pop up. In this case, I want to point out something you got wrong in your "game, set, match" analysis. The word "incidentally" is critical in the sentence you quoted. It does not apply to this image, since the man is not "incidentally" depicted in the photo as part of a larger setting, rather he is the main subject of the photo. There is a difference between being the only thing shown in a photo and being depicted as standing in the background as part of scene with lots of people and things going on around. In this case, we have a photo specifically taken of one person, not a photo of a big event with that person being incidentally included.--Peulle (talk) 22:37, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Peulle: Reductio it may be, but not ab absurdum ... do remember that PETA did file suit against the photographer who claims copyright over the monkey selfie, on the grounds that the macaque was entitled to it. In any event, you are making a purely moral case for this image as non-featurable, not a legal one. You and Charles are entitled to your opinion. But I would suggest that in the future you do what I do when people nominate cosplay images or lighting-display images where I do not believe local FoP covers it: just !vote oppose, state your reasons, and don't engage anyone else unless they engage you directly over this. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Being a veteran in uniform and participating in a public manifestation makes him a public figure. Zero expectation of privacy in public event. MZaplotnik(talk) 07:59, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I'd like to support, as this is a good portrait. Can someone explain why anyone in public in Belgium would have the reasonable expectation not to be photographed? Of course I realize that a woman in Saudi Arabia would not expect to be photographed in public, so there is no universal rule on this and I don't want to inappropriately apply American standards to a Western European country, but is there really an expectation of not being photographed on the street in Belgium, especially at a highly visible public event? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:08, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The issue for me is the close up intrusion of grief being paraded here for soemone else's reward. I say again, what might the veteran and his friends think about this? Charles (talk) 11:50, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment As Charles says, the issue is not whether you should be able to avoid being photographed completely when in a public space, but when a photographer makes you his sole subject, that's another thing. On the one hand, there are famous cases like Migrant Mother, on the other hand I'd like to have heard the person's view on the matter.--Peulle (talk) 12:12, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Edit conflict) You don't think that his showing up and being part of this event, parading in front of all the spectators ("the King, Government, a large number of guests and spectators"), is proof enough that he is honouring his comrades and their memory in a very public way? --cart-Talk 12:14, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bicycle stands at the Kurplatz, Norderney, Lower Saxony, Germany
  • More precisely, this blurred board with unreadable text spoils the composition.

East bridge, a stone bridge in Karlstad, Sweden
  • Well the technical answer is simple; the photographer didn't press the button until the vehicle was above he third bridge foundation. Since the bus/whatever had some speed, it didn't leave a shadow or anything at the point where the exposure began. There are light traces from a car that was behind the bus. I think that timing is rather splendid, since it leaves the birch grove and the ice on the right undisturbed by light streaks. --cart-Talk 15:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, thanks for the explaination. Anyway, I wish that the lights were passing all over the bridge. But the image is good enough this way! --Basotxerri (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Young vendor sitting in a grocery store in Don Som, Si Phan Don, Laos
  • The above comments are fair. From the distance I was to take this picture (and this is a crop), it was difficult to place my camera lower to respect the perspectives of the building. I think the dull light is more visible on the top and on the right of the image. Thus, I try the alternative version below taken from a lower and closer viewpoint.

the "strange glow" is called smoke and comes typically from chimneys --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:31, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Could be. It has a strange straight edge cut out of the right-hand-side, so it looked more like the weird glow one can get sometimes from stitching frames. But perhaps the straight edge is a shadow from the lights and building combined. -- Colin (talk) 08:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Car radio antenna on Mazda 323 compacted
  • For me, it adds a depth to the picture having a light side and a dark side, divided by the antenna. Having all of it evenly lit would have been boring and not given the image enough contrast. --cart-Talk 11:19, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reagan with the Mujahedin
  • @Juliancolton: I did a little searching on the net and some digging and found that most of the files have just been moved to the Reagan Library website. I have put the new links on the file's page. One pdf lists all the rolls of film taken by the White House photographers during 1983, complete with contact sheets and everything (frame 32). Pretty cool! So the name of the photographer is no longer a mystery (it's Michael Evans) and you can apparently order larger files from the library if you want. A fun thing is looking at the other photos in this roll plus the one before and after so you get coverage of the whole event. This looks like a good site to visit to sort things out about photos from that era. --cart-Talk 23:39, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Malachite kingfisher (Corythornis cristatus stuartkeithi)
  • There is only one other FP of this species - it is a different subspecies - and it shows a different profile of one of the world's most beautiful birds. I'm surprised by your comment as you yourself have two FPs of an identical view Example 1 and Example 2. Never mind your two FPs of the same fuscia species Example 3 and Example 4. I realise also that you find that your sawing machine justifies 3 FPs! Do explain your reasoning please. Charles (talk) 22:23, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Panorama of Toledo at sunset
  •  Comment I'm not attracted to "effectively" processed images, they too distort reality, especially colors. For encyclopedias are more characteristic of the reflection of the real world. Photos in general cannot opposing to painting masterpieces, because their methods and technologies, and most importantly, the tasks, are too different. -- Ввласенко (talk) 10:35, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two photos have been provided to you as comparisons. Not enough of the old city is in this photo, and the composition isn't compelling. And you think FPC in Commons is only about encyclopedias? I think that would be FPC in Wikipedia. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:46, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
