- Support K!roman | ☺‼↑♫♥☻ 18:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose — Framing is really nice, but inspecting to its full size, noise is really bad. Purple fringing is clearly visible. Light quality is very bad, as shadow is too harsh. Indon 22:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I'm still opposing the Edit1. Please inspect a look to its fullsize. Noise is still terrible, esp. in the gate of Agra, where the two people are chatting. Fringing is still everywhere visible. What's the different between the original & edit1? Indon 08:54, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

- Support Prefer Edit1. Olegivvit 15:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- But Edit1 (means the second picture) is not nominated (and seems to be a little dark). Do you also support the orginal picture? Flicka --84.165.91.102 17:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that's how it works. You nominate, people spot a problem, someone uploads an edit which he thinks fixes it, and the edit is on the table as well. --Dschwen 06:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose I really like the composition but I don't like the exposure. If I would have done this shot I would have used a flash to enlighten the columns in the foreground and enable one step smaller aperture to make the background darker thus keeping the contrast between foreground an background lower. Andreas Tille 06:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose full ack tillea. --Dschwen 06:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- It would be boring, IMO. The contrast makes it better. --Erina 08:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Erina --Simonizer (UTC)
- Oppose ack Andreas Tille -- Lycaon 21:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose --Digon3 22:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support eirisa
- Oppose Mainly due exposition, for me main subject is overexposed. This problem is more noticiable on the trees of background which colors are too less saturated. On the other hand I found the composition really GOOD, but it does not compensate the exposition matter enough for me. Francisco M. Marzoa 13:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

- Support Extraordinary circumstances!!!... This is not a weekend photo outing. Or maybe the local critics can just go on up there and take a better one??? Or maybe NASA should train the austronauts to turn to the camera and say cheese???--Tomascastelazo 15:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- So one should only oppose, if he can do it better? I think, that is not the point. It's just the question, if it's good enough for FP or not. norro 21:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose norro 21:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition all wrong. It's not that the photo was not worth taking, but this is certainly not THE photograph. Rama 17:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Crowded, lacking a central subject or composition. An astronaut with a camera is bound to produce some good and some lousy shots even on such magnificent surroundings; in my opinion this is not FP material. Roadmr 23:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose per Roadmr SOADLuver 23:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]- Info created by User Minutemen on de.wikipedia — uploaded by Gia.cossa — nominated by Erina
- Support SVG, therefore it's not a nomination for cuteness or emotional impact, but mainly for lots of good work (less than the ant, but still much) and great informational value. And it looks nice, too. Just one problem: I don't know whether it is correct, I don't know German, nor biochemistry. I'm nominating supposing that it is correct. Erina 20:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- I do know German, and I found a minor flaw: After an abbreviation-point there must always be a blank. So "u. v. m." (meaning "and many more") would be correct instead of "u.v.m.". Roger McLassus 07:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment -- actually I am sure "u.v.m." is no official German abbreviation. There is one that is close: u.v.a. (und viele andere = and many more) where there is NO blank in between the individual letters. -- Boereck 09:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- If there is a point of abbreviation, it is always followed by a blank - or at least it should be :) Roger McLassus 10:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think you are right. The online-version of the Duden [1] lists it WITH the blanks while my printed version "Der große Duden - 14th Edition" (sorry, I'm old school) has it without. I think the online-source is more recent but I usually prefer to rely on printed material so that is where I checked first. I grant you to be completely right in this case, though! -- Boereck 11:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Could someone translate it into english, so I could translate it into polish? Ss181292 09:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment orientation/justification on the labels around the centre of the yellow circle, notiable between 9-12 o'clock looks unbalance, compared to the rest of that sequence. Gnangarra 08:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support -- I think it is a good and very helpful illustration! I have not checked it yet because I cannot find my old biology notes but if I do, I will do so. For now you got my support! -- Boereck 09:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support Nützliches Bild im praktischen svg-Format, einzig Citronensäure sollte wie bei Citrat mit C geschrieben werden. Usefull picture, usefull file format. --Andel 10:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
OpposeI think in order to qualify for FP-status in the Commons no local languages (like German) should be used but an international one (English or Latin). I know, this is not an established rule, but I suggest we should make it up. (By the way, in spite of being German, the English word Cholesterol is used instead of the German Cholesterin.) Roger McLassus 10:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)- Cholesterol is just as german. It actually is the smarter name, since cholesterol is a sterol. And by the way I completely disagree about the language ban you proposed. Latin? The german WP is the second largest, so expect lots of german media. FP status should be language independent anyways, if a picture is featured it'll only be additional motivation to translate it to other languages. --Dschwen 22:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe I was misunderstood. Which language is used for naming a picture is of course irrelevant. But text-oriented graphics like this one are a different matter. Would you dare to vote if it were Chinese? Only few people participating here know German, but everyone knows English. (I admit, Latin was not so good an idea either.) Roger McLassus 06:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- I see your point, but I still disagree. In this discussion alone I see four people who know german. It seems like a no brainer that you should only vote if you comprehend the illustration, so, no, of course I wouldn't dare to vote on a chinese diagram. The point is as long as there are enough competent voters why shouldn't it be featured? This is a self regulating process, and I don't see a need to further regulate/restrict it. And let me elaborate on competent and comprehend, language is not the only barrier here, subject matter is as or even more important so ultimately every voter has to judge for herself/himself weather she or he is fit to judge the picture. Why should language skills be treated any different than let's say knowledge of biochemistry? --Dschwen 08:33, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- I see your point too, which made me change my vote to Neutral. Roger McLassus 09:33, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

- Strong oppose - The text is too small on the image description page. If I then click on the image to see it full size, it throws up an error box "Do you want to save this file. Name: Citratcyclus.svg. Type: Unknown File Type. Save. Cancel. Warning, some files can potentially harm your computer (etc.)". Well, I don't particularly want to save something that might harm my computer, but I would like to see it full size. As it is, it's useless. - MPF 11:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- It didn't do it to me even once of the eight times I opened the image. are you sure you did it right? why are you blaming the picture for it? I am sure all voters above would have complained if the image did not open. you better try it again. -- Boereck 12:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- Info Very nice picture. Good image quality. It hasv got a river, stones, forests, grass, peaks, snow, sky... I think this photo is not boring.
- Neutral Yes, very good technical quality, but the composition is, in my opinion, boring. When I look at this pic I feel like I was there... but it's just a mountainside. Something is missing, but I don't know what. :( --Erina 20:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose ditto Erina with an accent on boring. Ss181292 09:15, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose its well presented valley picture but it needs a point of interest to draw the eye in Gnangarra 08:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral - I like it, but the pic is tilted and needs rotating about 2° or 3° CCW - MPF 20:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- How did you measure this angle? Roger McLassus 10:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose A nice picture, but for me it's not got the 'wow factor' needed to be featured. I agree with the comments concerning the lack of a good point of interest, to draw the eye in.--MichaelMaggs 16:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support perhaps it's not a 'wow' picture but it presents the tranquil atmosphere of the mountains very well and it definitely encourages to visit those areas, a nice travelling photo eirissa
- Neutral Composition is good, but for me the point on the i is missing Simonizer 09:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

- Support Erina 09:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Would like it to be rotated 180 degrees and a little bit cropped like the one on the right norro 12:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- I believe this is proper orientation (I mean not rotated). Ss181292 13:27, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- And (IMHO) the font full of types is a main subject, so you propose to crop off the important part of the picture. This already typeset paragraph is (IMHO) only addition. Ss181292 13:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe you're right, but for me its a matter of composition. The flat plan view on the types may be the main subject but is not very interesting for me. Kindly, norro 14:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Neutral and comment: The picture should be rotated 180 degrees, the type is upside-down, besides, the shadow is cast from the bottom to the upper part. IMO it would have been a better image if the type in the boxes were visible. To people who do not know metal type, they are just pieces of metal. --Tomascastelazo 15:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment After a longer while I'm sure that this image should not be rotated.:
- font (set of types) lies on the table,
- observer stands in front of this table,
- light comes from left side (proper for right handed person),
- I believe it is normal to typeset paragraph upside-down (faces of types are mirrored anyway). Ss181292 20:22, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support Technically strong, and an effective illustration. You can infer a great deal of the typesetting process just from looking at this photo. K.lee 06:05, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support A very informative high-quality picture. It shouldn't be significatly cropped (at least one box should be left completely open to the viewer); and probably it's no reason to rotate it: Ss181292's words sound convincing. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 14:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

cropframing Lycaon 19:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC) - Info For the record, no crop - 2272x1704 is camera default. The bottom is raised since photo was taken while standing on an 6 foot meter box with NYPD officers steadying assistance to shoot over the hundreds of pedestrians below. Wider angle shots pulled in street lights, signs and construction. John
- Comment In my opinion, there are exactly two ways to take interesting images of a place like Times Square: 1) Concentrate on some interesting detail or an unusual, stunning point of view/crop. 2) Use very wide angle equipment and/or very clean postprocessing (stitching) to get in as much of the place as possible, either horizontally, vertically, or both. The approach taken in this picture doesn't really do it for me. Mstroeck 15:37, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

- InfoSome thoughts... (Serendipity)
- Dschwen - What are we seeing here? And overexposed, shaky, cut and tilted pic of the eifeltower?
- The overexposition is deliberately wanted. It's the only way you can capture the game of lights, which are alternately light up and off. (Shutter in B position).
- The shakiness is a consequence of shutter position. In that case I think it adds to the picture a soft, doughty character that gave the object (tower) an ethereal unreal "aura".
- The cut & tilted pic (?) The picture is tilted less than 5° and 90% present in the frame. Notice that even if taken uncut, by the particular exposure given, the bottom of the tower won't be seen because of the less number of lights, instead you'll obtain a picture with less area of the most interesting part: the top with the game of lights.
- The light design is copyrighted: this picture is a result of a particular shot technique, it shows something that your eyes can't never see because this effect is virtual and not specially designed in that manner.
- you failed to capture the game of lights, it's just a blurry mess.
- it doesn't add, and use a tripod, this is not a lomo club.
- 5° and 90% = tilted and cut
- particular shot technique? --Dschwen 12:00, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Digon3 - Very weird, very unclear. Not FPM, and the Eiffel Tower looks like its floating on nothing
- Very weird, very unclear: Weird is your opinion, I think you should gave an argument instead. The "unclear" effect is wanted.(see above)
- the Eiffel Tower looks like its floating on nothing: YES! and that's beautiful I think, this kind of light flaming object that lives in the dark...
- Jacopo86 - for quality reasons, and also because light design is copyrighted (yes, sound silly...)
- for quality reasons: the quality is a consequence of the shutter position. (see above)
- The "quality" is a consequence of camera-shake, bad framing, tilt, and your wish do capture alternating lightpatterns in a single image, which almost by definition won't result in a FP-worthy picture 99,9% of the time. It's a fun snapshot and I understand what you like about it, but it does not conform in any way to the guidelines given at the top of this page. Mstroeck 21:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- light design is copyrighted: the shot is taken on something that in the reality isn't shown, only with the overexposition you can see it. (see above)
- Stephane8888 - usefulness? (in wiki's project)
- Art, pictures, paintings, statues, etc... are useful? They are a way of expression, they excite the mind... :).
- Comment Still not changing my vote, FP should not be blurry, and I dont think its for shot technique only. Still dont like the picture. --Digon3 16:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment A good picture worth to be featured does not need a lengthy defence. I am not impressed by this apologetic explanation. My opposition holds. Roger McLassus 14:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment This photograph probably cannot be put on Commons anyway: the lightning of the Eiffel Tower are considered to be works of art per se in French law, and there is a copright on these (and do not start, I did not write the law, it's just like that, period). Rama 02:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
OpposeI'am french and I've seen the Tour Eiffel by night before, and I can say this picture doesn't give a good idea the fantastic beauty of this building. It's just an easy special effect... About the copyright... it's right. If you want to shot a film in Paris with the tour Eiffel, you will have to pay 6000€ (i think)for one minute. But there is a reason, of course : the lights of the tour eiffel has been created by an artist. So there is a copyright as there is for a picture or a statue or whatever... So it's not a stupid law !

- Once again you are extrapolating wildly (and seem confused) about what Commons is. Surely, it is also a collection of art as well as of personal photos (whatever a personal photo might be), including the “this is my pet” type. Please understand that I’m not defending the merits of my picture (you are right, it is not a very good one), only the right to have bad taste, to participate in FPC and (even so) to be treated with courtesy. Of course, you also have the right to be blatant, although I suspect that is not the normal way with Wikipedia.Alvesgaspar 18:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment This site (FPC) was created for finding such pictures from all pictures on Commons that are somewhat special. I think everybody should understand that after reading the title (newcomers to). If not, we have delivered some guidelines. Now we vote; everybody reveals what they are thinking about the picture; in form of short informations like: bad composition, low resolution or high value. It has nothing about offending or being arrogant - it is common and convenient way (no need to write a lot and read a lot, cause everybody understands). The fact are that Commons is not the place for every picture or every piece of art, but for that that has some value (in many ways); and Featured picture is such picture from Commons (so it is already valuable) that is special. I wouldn't be writing this if you hadn't said that you have been offended or mistreated. Mistake was on your site.

- Sorry to jump in. IMO, the picture in Image:Papio hamadryas (aka).jpg is not a post-processing picture by background removal. If you look at the pic's metadata, it was taken with 300mm lens, f/5.6 1/320s and a speedlight. It creates a burst of flashlight to the subject. This is the so-called fill-in subject technique. The result, background intensity is dropped. And to get a complete black background like this, the distance between the subject with the background must be far away to avoid background light captured by the lens. Hence, the picture is less likely to be taken in a zoo, as background objects will be visible. Indon 12:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- IMO it's definitely edited (background is uniform 100% black, borders of the monkey look weird) and looks just bad. And it's an FP. I don't understand it... --Erina 18:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose I agree with Lycaon. A zoo is not the natural environment of an animal, a fact that severely diminishes the value of a zoo-shot in comparison to a wildlife photo.

- My monitor is well-calibrated, don't worry. And it is not the contrast that is harsh, but the shadow. The contrast is quite okay - I hope you understand the difference between contrast and lighting. Lighting is too strong as it was taken in a day light, the most uninteresting moment to take a picture. Look at the face, you'll see harsh shadow. Cloud? It's a dull textureless cloud, and sure you can wait for more interesting cloud. Indon 15:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

- Neutral It looks as if it was heavily edited (Duplicate layer, blur it, set it to "overlay" or normal with some transparency and you get sth like that. I'm not saying that you did that, probably it's fault of unsharp original.) --Erina 07:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

- Comment - the edit is half the size of the original - hardly an improvement. The objects disturbing the sky in the original image look more like noise filtering artifacts / JPEG compresion artifacts than noise. Overall even the original looks overprocessed, not noisy. If possible, could you please upload the "real original" as produced by the camera? IMO with different filtering techniques better image quality can be obtained, and the original is large enough so part of the sky could be cropped, making it more pleasing 2/3 compostion. --Wikimol 21:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition and especially technical quality are quite bad. Only if this building had been destroyed by the earthquake this picture would have some historical value in case it were really rare, which I rather doubt. Roger McLassus 15:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose — What is the picture telling about? Indon 14:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose I really wanted to like this picture. Photographically the picture is flawless; I think the photographer has good command of DoF and interesting if unconventional composition. I find the composition a bit funny however (no emphasis on either subject). Also I fail to find its encyclopedic value (per Indon, what's it a picture of?), while a great artistic shot I don't feel it illustrates anything in it particularly well. Roadmrs
- I think composition is a very conservative one based on rule of thirds: both the bird and the top of the ship are near interest points. The "Guidelines for Evaluating Photographs" in this same page does not say nothing about encyclopaedic value, on the contrary below "Featured picture candidate policy" explicitly says: "This is not simply a depository for wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project."

- Thank you for your comments! Yes, the bright area in the upper left is indeed a window. It's there because the image was originally just a snapshot, taken in a dim room with some daylight on her but without a flash or other artificial lighting. I took it during a conversation, without a tripod. Optical image stabilization sure helps, but I was very pleasantly surprised when I first saw it. Sometimes you just get lucky.

[edit]- Info Just for the record because I've seen this comment at least two times: the picture is not "cropped", it's published as comes directly from the CCD of the camera at full resolution. The only change I do just for the second version was sharping it a bit with The Gimp. And there has been before featured pictures of birds heads without its bodies Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds, so I dont think being just a head to be a reasonable objection. Francisco M.

- I dont't like dark blue
- I think a different apperture would have been better
- Dead pixels
- The latter is surely fixable, but the rest strikes me as purely subjective and/or uninformed. Sorry! --Dschwen 09:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- In case I am wrong and you've made the best picture possible with your camera in this situaton, then you've done a commendable job, which I underestimated because I was "uninformed". But even this assumption would not enhance this picture's quality. It would still not reach FP-quality (in my subjective view, admittedly, but, alas, I have no other. Nor has anyone else.) Roger McLassus 14:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose The problem is not the colour of the background but its effect on the constrast of the image. Also, some parts of the spider are not focused. Alvesgaspar 20:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Aha! Thank you, that's a comment which ich a lot more usefull for me. The bg looke fine to me on the screens I used (en:FPC has a paragraph on that). But I can see how the edit enhances the contrast. I can't do anything abt. focus at least not with my camera, and I seriously doubt that anyone here can create macro shots with significantly higher DOF. --Dschwen 09:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

SupportFor a modern picture the resolution would be too small, but for 1918 it is okay. Good composition and considerable historical value. Roger McLassus 15:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)- Oppose The resolution depends on the modern scanner resolution that's been used, and the quality of the print from which the scan was taken. A 1918 B&W film image, if well-printed, will have a higher resolution than virtually any standard digital camera. This image might be supportable on the basis of its historic value if re-scanned. --MichaelMaggs 21:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

- Neutral because I created it Simonizer 20:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose By trying to capture all three subjects (bridge, church and river) the shot gives emphasis to none. I feel the lighting also dulls the picture, altough others might disagree with me on this. As a casual shot it's not bad but it's also not compelling enough for a FP. Try to find an angle where the subjects stand out instead of being just a part of the landscape (the river), a building in the background (church) or an indeterminate structure (the bridge). Remember the picture has to speak for itself; I had to read the description to figure out what it was about. Don't be discouraged, composition can be tricky! - Roadmr 00:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I found the composition great because of the rule of thirds and the diagonals you can see on the picture. There ist one diagonal in the front on the floor, the other diagonal is the fence and the people sitting at the river, another diagonal is the end of the bridge and the line of trees on the other side of the river, and the last diagonal are the roofs of the buildings. All the diagonals end near the church. So for me it was not the intention to bring all subjects on one photo, but making a picture under tricky conditions and letting the eye move over the picture by following the diagonals Simonizer 06:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Basically, the construction seems to construct "1/17 length", then apply it on the circle .... maybe that two steps could be somehow spearated on the "paper" to avoid excessive cluttering with lines.

- Thank you Blind14 15:18, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- The composition is not good at all. The plane is about to jump off the frame. There is too few space for it to breath. As a result, there's no sense of movement. The smoke and the jet are frozen in time. Indon 14:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- Comment If this where to be put up for nomination today it would never make FP. Requirements have change since 2004 and being a pretty sunset (there wasnt hundreds of sunset pictures being nominated), was the only reason it was featured. It may have been good then, but not now. While it has a good foreground and background, everything else (General quality, Resolution, Value) is bad. Like it says in the guidelines, "almost all sunsets are pretty, and most of such pictures are not different in the essence from others". There is nothing special about this picture. --Digon3 18:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Still, I believe that requirements for delisting be substantially more stringent than listing. This clearly was considered by some to be a featured picture (with no opposition), regardless of our requirements. Furthermore, some sunset pictures are striking. We don't have a policy prohibiting sunsets. Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass demandez 18:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

- Support Yes it is a bit dark but I like it this way, gives the suggestion of thunder. -- Alvesgaspar 10:38, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - Just to clarify, it was my intention that this photo was 'dark' - it was taken early on a late-summer evening as a thick bank of storm clouds rolled overhead. I used the bridge regularly during the summer to commute from work in Bristol to my home in Cardiff, and was often struck by the dramatic contrasts as the sun shone through clouds to cast the bridge in silhouette. I think this photo (at least when viewed on a properly-calibrated monitor) is an eyecatching depiction which might capture the interest of a casual viewer. I'm aware that it's not the most 'encyclopaedic' view of the bridge, which is why I nominated it here rather than at EN.FPC. --Yummifruitbat 12:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose It's a nice panoramic picture, if it was taken properly. The color is not rich and it looks like a duotone picture. It's better, IMO, to make it real silhouette, but with a support with a dramatic colorful sunlight. Indon 13:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I don't understand the latter part of your comment. Are you suggesting that I've changed the colours of the sunset? --Yummifruitbat 13:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nope. When you make a silhouette of an object, it has to have a strong backlight. It would be a nice shilouette if the backlight has rich color, as in the sunset. In this picture, the backlight is not colorful, IMO. BTW, how about if you tweak the saturation and levels of this picture? Maybe the backlight color will appear. Indon 14:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK, that's clearer. I disagree that the picture wasn't 'taken properly' - it portrays the scene near enough exactly as it appeared to the naked eye. Tweaking the saturation etc. would be falsifying the scene - it wasn't 'colourful' but I don't think that's a prerequisite for an effective photograph. I could have waited for the sun to set completely and got a rich orange glow but that would have been a totally different scene and wasn't what I wanted to capture in this panorama. --Yummifruitbat 20:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

It would appear that the numerous tourist were cloned out of the image, a little of that would have been acceptable, but the end result is that the image has a number of artifacts which make it an unfair representation of reality.

- Oppose. Thanks for pointing it out Gmaxwell, although I feel very different about it. A lot of work might have been put into the image, but it was not for good. The picture felt odd at first glance, without any people there is no sense of scale and I didn't even recognize the image at first. Heavy photo manipulation like this should be strongly discouraged in my opinion. After all commons mission is foremost a repository for an encyclopedia. And as such it has a certain obligation to the truth and reality, which supersedes aesthetic fancies. Apart from that the clone job is not too great anyways with all the visible artifacts --Dschwen 21:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice pic, but it has a bad composition (central). I'd probably support some nice crop. --Erina 08:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Soft focus, and people grinning and waving :-). People are ok in a shot of busy place, but this looks too much like a family album shot. By the way I cannot understand the complaint about the composition at all! What would you crop away, it'll be parts of the bridge. Why would you want to do this?! Cutting off parts of the subject would lessen the pictures value. Whats up with that anyways, once a picture deviates from a standard out-of-the-book composition it immediately gets opposed? --Dschwen 09:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- I just don't like it and when I wonder why, the first thing that comes into my mind is composition. --Erina 12:34, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- I understand that not everybody takes the (small) weaving tourists as a subtle irony and I thank you for the detailed comments. But the image is not soft focus. You can see that the resolution is even below one pixel if you have a look at the bridge pylons. --Ikiwaner 17:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, check the tower. It takes 5px to completely transition from shadow to sky. So I'd say the Image can be downsampled by about a factor of 3. Some people go great lengths and take mosaic pictures and downsample to get perfectly sharp pictures (check Image:Amsterdam_Canals_-_July_2006.jpg or Image:Radcliffe_Camera,_Oxford_-_Oct_2006.jpg for good examples). This one does indeed have a soft focus. Anyway, I wouldn't object a picture solely on this point, but it contributes to my oppose. --Dschwen 17:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose A little bit unsharp, a little bit dark, a little bit boring, a little bit of a tourist-shot - altogether too many such little flaws for FP-quality. Roger McLassus 18:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

- Comment You decreased contrast and saturation a little to much. --Digon3 02:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment it looks like you didn't only sharpen, but tried a noise reduction at the same time. The result are washedout softened areas such as the tower and the wood boards of the bridge, and aliased oversharpened areas like the flowers (check at full size!) and the people to the very right. --Dschwen 06:51, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose A static map like this one shouldn’t be scalable: if you reduce the scale, the lettering and other cartographic symbols might become illegible and the image crowded; if you enlarge it, you are suggesting a precision (and accuracy) that the map doesn’t have. Note that topographic maps of the same region, but with different scales, have different detail and symbology (different levels of “generalization”, as cartographers say). For this particular map I suggest the following improvements: (i) make it non-scalable; (ii) state the scale of the map; (iii) indicate the direction of North; (iv) draw and graduate one parallel and one meridian (or suggest them) so that we know where in Earth this place is; (v) improve the legend so that all symbols used in the map are explained (railroads, road tags, etc.); (vi) make the neatline (the exterior line that frames the map) more sober. Good work! -- Alvesgaspar 08:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- What on earth do you mean by make it non-scalable? --Dschwen 15:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment There is something important I forgot to say: the map is beatiful and nicely done. But beauty is not enough, in this case, to being really useful and reach FP standards. -- Alvesgaspar 13:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose not all symbols are explained in the legend, no arrow that indicates north, no distance units used in scalebar. This map just does not satify some basic cartographic requisites. Tbc 11:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Indicates north there is on the down in Legend. What symbols aren't explained in the legend? Marcin n® ☼ 12:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- The railroad and the footpath nearby the water (if it is a footpath) for example. Now I took a second look a few other things struck me: first, the roads are digitized as polygons and not as line elements (there are indeed some arguments why in some situations thsi is preferred, but not for the purpose of this map). For example: the road Narutowicza, Mickiewicza, the railroad, ... gets wider and smaller. It would surprise me if the roads really do this, it looks more like sloppiness to me (just like the footpath that leaves the grass on the right). Also the polygons are not "snapped" to one another (look at the orange building/grass contact zone in the lower right), that will create small meaningless polygons that will be clearly visible at full zoom (definately in svg). Please do not interpret these comments the wrong way, they are meant to be constructive. The map is good, but really should not be a featured one. Tbc 13:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

- Support I like the composition --Jacopo86 08:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't like the composition. Apart from the fact, that it's cropped at the top, i would like to see more from the landscape on the right to see, that there is no water, where it should be. Furthermore the object on the right is distracting and the clouds are overexposed. norro 15:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Info The picture is not cropped at all, it is exactely as it was when taken from the camera. The little object on the right (although maybe redundant) is part of picture - it is another metric scale. To the right, there is only concrete (it can be checked with Google Earth and the coordinates given in the picture file). The idea of lackness of water is given by the dry first plan and long metric scale. I don't agree the clouds are overexposed; but even if they are, that is better than having the foreground underexposed. Yes, I agree the picture is not "nice", with that big and dull somber mass in the first plan. But that is, of course, on purpose. -- Alvesgaspar 16:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- Comment I compared all these pictures against others I have at home in previous years, and it appears that the first one has the same colors. Notice that there is no vegetation in this area, so the place is not very colorful as in AngMoKio's edit. Also the sun is located at the north at noon, and the picture is taken to that direction. If I had taken the picture sooner or later, there would have been shallows on the mountains. I don't know how the picture can be enhanced.

[edit]- Info created by Joaquim Alves Gaspar - uploaded and nominated by Alvesgaspar. I nominate this picture for the simplicity and balance of its composition. Depth is given to the two-dimensional silhouette by the light dimly reflected in the ground. The photo was taken with a Rolleicord-type camera, those with twin lenses and square negatives. Since the negative was lost, this picture is a scanned image of a paper copy, only corrected for scratches and white dots. The original quality image was slightly cropped at the top as suggested by Roger McLassus.
