Verticals are so wonky as they had to be in a wide angle picture, such as in your own picture File:King's Cross Western Concourse.jpg --Wladyslaw (talk) 14:35, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You know, I never understand the Commons FP style of nominating an unusual picture and not explaining it. What you, as a photographer, were trying to achieve. Explain why it is the way it is, etc. Would save a lot of head scratching sometimes. Ok, the wide-angle effect isn't quite working for me here. But I'm going  Neutral. Colin (talk) 07:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your opinion and I can try to straighten the verticals. But not in every case this looks good or better than a wide angle. --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:05, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. Straightening might not achieve a great result here. I think it is just a matter of taste now. Colin (talk) 09:49, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral Nice colors and "pop", but the composition looks a bit messy. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment What does "composition looks a bit messy" mean? I really hate to lecture, but... Composition wise, it is a very simple composition, two elements, the table and the carrots. The rule of thirds is followed, one third table, two thirds carrots. So messy composition in my opinion is a wrong term. If anything, it is a very measured, clean composition. On the graphic side, we also have simplicity: color and repetition. That the carrots are in a haphazard pile, well, it is carrots in a market... Now, there is one element that to the observant is relevant... But after all, it is a simple picture of carrots in a market. Can you see the market? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:32, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose There's more to "composition" than lining two major elements up on the rule of thirds line. An attractive basket would be better than that migraine-inducing-green box. The random arrangement of carrots has no depth and little to interest the viewer. A basic Google Image search for "carrots" turns up countless examples of more inviting images. Sorry, but this is a long way from feature-worthy IMO. Colin (talk) 17:45, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Of course there is more to composition, the link you provide above should be a must read for anyone evaluating photographs here... Have you? And yes, there are millions of better photos not only in the internet, but stashed away someplace. But this one is here, and it is free. But I do not think I am ready to produce a picture of something in an attractive basket to please the particular taste of anyone. I photograph reality as it presents itself to the world, extracting what I consider relevant. And that migrane-inducing green box is an expression of a particular culture, a particular place, that has much to say to the educated mind. It is like music... to some it is noise, to some it is the metrics of sounds, to others, pleasure... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:11, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Of course there can be, and there are better pictures, better photographers, but this has to be one of the silliest arguments to oppose. If we were to apply that criteria to oppose, not one single image in Commons would be featured, for there is always room for improvement. The reality is that this picture is the one up for voting, not some Platonic ideal concocted up in someone´s mind, who has no idea what photography is all about, nor how to judge on photographic and documentary merits. If the lack of quality really bothers someone, they should set the example of quality, and show the world how things are done. Evaluators should at least use universally agreed terminology in photo evaluation, if they know what that is. Also the responsibility for the quality in FPC resides not only on the photograph, good or bad, for I´ve seen extraordinary photography shot down by inadequate, ignorant judging. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:59, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is this nomination just a piss-take, Tomascastelazo? Are you just trolling us? The photo is deeply boring and has unpleasant colours. It completely fails to capture the interest of the viewer, who can't wait to get this luminous arrangement of pixels off their screen. There, that's my reason for opposing. All the rest is just an aside. Colin (talk) 17:08, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I take my photography and my nominations very seriously, and if you read the thread you are the one who started using inadequate terms in the evaluation, pointing out reasons to oppose that are not within the evaluation criteria and based on your personal taste (which is fine), implying bad quality, bad technique or what have you. To say that the picture is deeply boring for example, is a personal value judgement outside of the criteria. And since you take the effort to evaluate from the wrong parameters in detriment of the spirit of Commons, so I take the effort to point out your lack of objectivity and question your authority to speak on behalf of the viewers. If it is boring for you, so be it, you have a right to your opinion, but I do not recall you being appointed the spokesperson of the community. I speak from my experience, from deeds done, from contributions, whereas I cannot really see where your assumed authoritative knowledge comes from. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment The black bag is sanitary control! The picture depicts the products as well as their merchandising... On a street! So the picture has more information than just the representation of products... As C. Wright Mills suggested in his classic "The Sociological Imagination," so here we could use a little of "photographical imagination." This is, after all, an encyclopaedic endeavor, not a beauty contest. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That photo is much more interesting and has a story within it (of which the binbag on the floor is part, rather than being an ugly distraction). Shame you took that one with the compact and this one with the SLR. Colin (talk) 08:57, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Guck mal die Fahrleitung im Massstab 1:1 an, die hat ein ca. 2px breites Halo; das ist ein typisches Nachschärfe-Artefakt. Andere Stellen im Bild zeigen dasselbe (z.B. das Hausdach). Ich vermute jetzt einfach mal, dass du JPEGs machst und deine Kamera die Bilder schärft. Schau mal die Fahrleitung auf den Bildern ab Kamera an. Evtl. fällt das erst nach dem Stitchen richtig stark auf, weil dann gewisse Bildbereiche vergrössert werden. --Kabelleger (talk) 22:12, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chand Baori stepwell

This step well is located opposite Harshat Mata Temple is one of the deepest and largest step wells in India. It was built in the 9th century and has 3500 narrow steps in 13 stories and is 100 feet deep. Created and uploaded by Doron - nominated by me -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 08:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unfortunately I can't see better examples (showing 10 stories above the water) although found some more resolution ones. This may be reason why this file is used in so many wikis whereas no one else is ever used. :( -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 14:03, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The recently uploaded (for WLM 2012) images File:Chand Baori (step-well).JPG and File:Chand Baori (Step-well) at Abhaneri.JPG show 12 levels above the water and are taken from two opposite sides. The latter is a better picture and higher EV than this IMO. That it was only uploaded two weeks ago is probably the main reason it isn't widely used yet. The above nomination appears to be a scan of a photograph and the left-hand-side has serious light-bleed issues, as well as the picture having low overall sharpness/detail for its (barely) 2MP.

That sort of thing helps. A gallery still doesn't list image dimensions and on the category list all you have to go on is the file size. Different users will have different needs. For web use, the tiny images might be fine. For others, they are just noise. Colin (talk) 17:10, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Juvenile Brown Pelican (Pelecanus Occidentalis) at Bodega Harbor, California.
 Comment Hey Jkadavoor, thanks a lot for your feedback. How if we looked at this less as an "issue" than as a disagreement about how to do things. I took about 70 exposures, from different angles and with all kinds of different depths of field. After looking at the different shots, I decided that I wanted to go with the f/7.1 than with f/4.0 (as e.g. in this picture) because I wanted the nice bokeh and I also wanted the main parts of the bird to be pin sharp (as in the picture above). So, just to clarify: I'm not challenging your vote. I'm totally fine if you don't like the photo or if you just don't think it should be featured. What I would like to point out is that I would feel much more comfortable if you said: "I see your approach and I don't like it" instead of "there's an issue". Let's just assume that most of the people here know what they're doing and might just have chosen to do it in a specific way – instead of thinking that someone was lacking the technical skills "to get it right" ;-) Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:28, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Frank for the detailed reply. Yes, DOF and "fine details" are not friends; they always walk in opposite directions. So the only thing we can do is to find the best point in between. I appreciate your selection here (F7.1 at 145mm) but the subject is not well aligned to your camera sensor.; the bill is close and the tail is far. So the bottom of the head is also out of focus. The camera should be well aligned vertically and horizontally to get best results in such works. The “problem” of Tomas’ previous FP seems lack of vertical alignment than horizontal.
The position of the head in the other picture you referred (F4 at 165 mm) is better ; here it turns at you . Please note that DOF changes with change in focal lengh or subject distance. You will get more advice (which are free) if posted at Wikipedia where DOF is more considered than here. BTW, I like your plenty of works including this. :) -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 06:49, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Epilobium hirsutum - Seed head - Triptych
The shallow depth-of-focus was a deliberate choice, but may not be to everyone's taste of course. I took some shots with a greater depth-of-focus but the result was messier and paradoxically resulted in less depth information (near, middle and far all in focus). With the first image, for example, the focus is specifically on the inner string of seeds, and the fact that the outer seeds are far out-of-focus means one can distinguish this inner group. Colin (talk) 18:59, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The link you gave was Wikipedia FP, not Commons. See Commons:Featured pictures/Plants/Flowers#Posters for four Commons image "collages", as you call them (including the two poppies I linked above). Wikipedia is a publisher, not an image resource, and a gallery on WP can achieve the same effect with the three individual images (which are also uploaded and linked from the set). Also, Wikipedia has the concept of a FP Set. See Featured Picture Set. This is not Wikipedia. If somone can indicate that Commons also has the concept of a "Featured Picture Set" consisting of individual images, then I could nominate as that. As for the "abstract" issue, all macro shots look unusual to a degree. That nature can also have an abstract appeal is one of the attractions of macro photography. This is exactly what those seed heads look like up close. That's why I photographed them. See Commons:Featured pictures/Objects#Others for loads of FPs that have abstract qualities to varying degrees. They are all very much real. Colin (talk) 07:56, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes; Commons also has the concept of Featured Picture Set: "If a group of images are thematically connected in a direct and obvious way, they can be nominated together as a set." You can read more instructions under "set nominations" under "Guidelines for nominators" at the top of this page. But unfortunately I can't see any examples. And all the examples of "image collages" that you showed are from the same user and not very useful in my humble opinion. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 09:09, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A piece of public art on the plaza outside Warwick Arts Centre
  •  Question Is it necessary to have the authors name in the file name? This name could be confused with the sculptor of the cone-shaped statue. Presumably "Steve Walton IMG" could be removed from the file name. Snowmanradio (talk) 12:44, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think that the image description on commons is inadequate, since it dose not mention the cone-shaped statue, which is prominent in the foreground. I think that it would be reasonable to include the name of the sculptor. Snowmanradio (talk) 12:44, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The original image size was 4,575 × 3,047 (1.34 MB), as seen in the file history of File:WTC Steve Walton IMG 9613WarwickArtsCentre.jpg. The size was increased to 5.83 MB when it was brightened and this image is over the original image. The version of the image presented for a FP is 6.27 MB.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Comment I didn't want to compare my picture with others. All my pictures show the life in real nature. And it is not simple to make such pictures in the wild. For me the quality is good. The poeple should decide without your competition thinking. (correction necessary, because I thought the picture in your link was from you - a mistake). However, the picture in your link isn't better than mine I find, just different. Hockei (talk) 18:14, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I too happy if people promote my works without proper reviews. But "our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others". How can I find the most valuable without comparing the images available in the same category? I came to know form my little experience that making such pictures in the wild is very difficult. But my comparison was with same situation and same subject. Correct me if I'm wrong. (It seems a provoking argument from an experienced user so I checked your stream. Is this your first nomination?) -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 05:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Too much distraction from plant and empty space. The image Jkadavoor links is a simpler composition with less distraction. I suggest this image can be improved with a square crop that has the diagonal position of the butterflies approximately crossing the diagonal of the frame. The crop I suggest takes a little off the top (reduce the gap above the butterfly in half) but nothing from the bottom (to retain the whole of that spiky white seed. Then crop left and right to form a 1:1 ratio with equal gap before the antennae on the left and wings on the right. The focus, to me, seems acceptable.

  •  Info I would agree that this image is relatively unsharp, as it was taken with a handheld camera, but this image has been assessed as a Quality Image. Even so, perhaps a previous assements count for nothing or is not relevant in the context of the current assessment. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:00, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally my sharpness standards are higher for FPC than QIC. Let's say the same unsharp 10 MP image is submitted for both. I would oppose at FPC unless it's really really good, but at QIC I would look at a 2 MP thumbnail and if it's sharp, it's OK for me. Also, if a 2-3 MP landscape (even if sharp) is submitted at FPC, there is a good chance I may not support due to low res. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:34, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lörrach: Vally Wiese bridge (Wiesentalbrücke)

  •  Oppose Bad view (shadow side, bridge covers less than 10% of the pixels). Content: Can't SEE the special thing about the bridge. -- Oliver Rode 02:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
The bridge itself has nothing special (where did I write this?). The bridge is placed in a attentive way in the environment. And to show this you have to show also the surrounding. The shadows makes the view very vividly, I don't see a part that is disturbed by the shadow. --Wladyslaw (talk) 04:55, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't.  B.p. 09:50, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
-- some clearification. You have done the best you can do from the place at the time you took it. But one thing is, i think the bridge would look better, if the photo had been taken at a time where the shadow is behind the bridge and not in front of it. The second point is about that the bridge should dominate the picture, not the environment; so i would like to see more croping at the left part, where a second street is. 3rd: The length of the "long" bridge is not very impressive because of the acute angle. -- Oliver Rode 13:21, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
(1) Because of the position of the bridge (going west to east) your wish will never be satisfiable. The sun raised long before there is a chance for this shadowing. (2) If a object should be dominant or not is the decision of the photographer. First there is a practical reason for this shot, you will never be able to make a very dominant view at this bridge without having environment. In this version File:Lörrach - Wiesentalbrücke6.jpg you see the bridge dominant, but I think the composition is not better. Second: the bridge is IMO only interesting with its surrounding. If you don't like it, so okay, can't change it. (3) look at (2), to give a idea of the bridges length you are only able to make an aerial shot. --Wladyslaw (talk) 18:57, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
This fly was very busy flying here and there, I find it difficult to capture it. I've capture it positioning the camera in the same level as the fly, I think that is why some parts are partially obscured by wing. I've uploaded another version giving some room to the right. Sadly no chance to retake it :( --JDP90 (talk) 07:18, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
An unfocused wing blade points to the lens is not good; moving the camera a little left or right and top or bottom will help (next time). I know how difficult to capture a dragonfly from a side due to the wing depth. But I always prefer a side view than a dorsal view. So  Support. It’s OK for the new upload with more lead room. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 08:52, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

El Escorial, main entrance
  •  Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 09:58, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Main entrance, detail of the facade of the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, UNESCO World Heritage, built by king Philip II of Spain in 1559. Please see annotations for more details -- Jebulon (talk) 09:58, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • If it weren't for he two guys toking (something illegal?) in front of the building, i would have called it booooring. It's a good image, but all in all too dull for FP. Kleuske (talk) 11:30, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Agree, you are right, this building (the whole, not only what is shown here, which is the less "boring" part), is "boring". In some way, it was the wish of the builder (please take a few minutes in following the links...). No, it is not too dull for FP (UNESCO World Heritage, something cultural, if you know what I mean...). You understood very well the purpose of this nomination, but you finished too quickly with just the wrong conclusion.--Jebulon (talk) 14:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • My comments were a bit harsh, and i apologize to you, the Jezuites, UNESCO and all things cultural. The image is certainly a good one, i've said that. QI? No doubt. FP? Close, but no cigar. Kleuske (talk) 15:47, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Are you talking about this building? Sometimes details are not interested as the whole view (if I'm right). -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 16:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support As I know this building, I can tell it's a great view of the main part of the facade. It looks to me perfect in symmetry and light, almost an illustration. The building itself is very simple as seen from the street, big but without many ornaments. I think this composition combines very well with the building's style. I wish the two guys weren't there, but on the other hand they can give scale. It's also interesting that there's nobody else in the square, because there are usually lots of tourists or just people going for a walk (the area of square covered by the picture is about 50mx50m). If somebody could remove properly those two guys, it'd be perfect IMO. --Kadellar (talk) 19:35, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Common Jezebel enjoying Marigold!
  • I think you mean left. I’m struggling with the limitations of my poor compact. These types of pictures are taken with the help of "extended zoom" facility of my poor camera which is somewhat similar to the use of a TC in SLR. It is easy to compose an image having 10MP in my camera; but the result will very bad, without much details. Instead I tight the frame with help of that feature and compose giving full strain to my eyes. You can imagine how difficult it is to keep the entire subject in frame in such a tight shot. (Sorry for the delayed response; we’ve continuous electricity problems in our place due to the heavy rain and ear blowing thunderbolts.

??? I always thought i'm taking pictures for an Encyclopedia. I don't understand why a cultural artifact is disturbing here. But if you like making Commons the place to cellebrate the hottest and cheesiest Holiday-Pictures, go on.   • Richard • [®] • 15:05, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Apologies to Richard, but my opposition is based on personal taste only: it is the cultural artifact (the shrine) that seems out of place.

  • Never forget this, my friends: there IS no Wikipedia. There ARE different WikipediaS, with different rules and ways.

Remember that for a lot of people here, only "Commons" is international...--Jebulon (talk) 20:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Highspeed 6 ferry landing at Santorini (Athinios port).
Ok. I got confused about the rotation at first, too. You have to check both the horizon (line between water and rocks, should be almost perfectly horizontal as it's very far away, visible in overlapping regions of different rocks at different distances) and the chimney of the ferry. The left end of the ferry seems to not be perfectly upright, so that doesn't work as a reference and confuses the eye (mine, at least). --Julian H. (talk/files) 20:59, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I think desaturating/reducing the green, maybe also in his face, would have a positive effect on the whole image. --Julian H. (talk/files) 21:04, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That would not help, as the lit parts are already way too far in the magenta-range. I think the version on the right would, in theory, be the correct tone, although that makes him look very pale. It's actually WB -20 towards green now.

  • But why we feature picture? It is to showcase the best pictures in front of people and organizations so that they can use them in various purposes. I think you seriously mistaken that FPC is to showcase best photographers of Commons so that they can hire them for a price. See the example below:
"Dear Jeevan,
I have received and recorded your image/photo permissions statement. Thank you very much for your support of the Lacewing Digital Library project.
Please keep us in mind when you are out in the field photographing. We'd be very interested to see additional high-quality images of neuropterans from you. We are interested in pictures of all species in the orders Neuroptera, Megaloptera and Raphidioptera, from anywhere in the world. Our success in illustrating our global keys and other biodiversity science projects are very dependent on the good will of cooperators like you, who have 'boots on the ground', in different areas of the world. Thanks again for the permissions to use some of your images!

I started to contribute in Commons when I got several mails like this from various people and organizations including http://eol.org/ in Flickr. Do you know none of your works are useful for EOL because of the license? -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 06:30, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support This is without a doubt one of the finest CC0 licences I've seen. The balance of grey background, white inset and black and blue writing is beautifully executed. I love the little logo on the left: two circles of harmony. The text is crisp and the wording professional, friendly and easy to understand. There's a small amount of CA (calligraphic aberration) inside the zero that I think is due to a poor choice of font, but it isn't distracting and a careful application of Adobe Eraser should eliminate it. I do recommend, Jkadavoor, that you consider switching from Panasonic stationary to Sony for your licence work. Their marker pens aren't the best, I'll grant you, but you'll gain access to a fine selection of Zeiss automatic pencils, if you can afford them. Lastly I must note that the licence isn't big enough to cover the hole in my bathroom. You should know by now our disdain for downsampling licences and urge you to consider uploading a higher resolution one. -- Colin (talk) 20:43, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As you seem to be the only one to see a posterized sky you can mark the parts that should be so? Maybe you can explain to us why the background of this picture File:Common Jezebel Delias eucharis by kadavoor 3.jpg ist better than this one. I'm very curious if we actually get an answer and if this is comprehensible. --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:34, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Instead to bully you could answer my determined question. The image has adequate quality, was elected for QI. You are not giving an answerer despite of my request. So I had to assume that everything is okay with the picture. No need to go round in circles any more. --Wladyslaw (talk) 04:51, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, let's not go crazy. If the image appears on a gay site, it's still a quite innocent image of two boys and a dog. But I guess with gay you mean pedophile. Even in that case, it's just two boys and a dog. Whatever the caption. Kleuske (talk) 08:17, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are we to assume that these are local boys or are they tourists? If the geolocation is accurate, it indicates that there is a reservoir in the locality, so what is the relevance of this? Are the boys on the bank of a reservoir? Snowmanradio (talk) 18:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
