Comment
Čarlton, beside dust spots, which could be cleaned, i dont get trees. They are far further than birds i suppose and yet there are some parts of tree in hyperfocal and much of them out... !? So actually you keep birds, go there exact time on put same EXIF and make trees. Than stitch. Try manual foucs to set trees to similar blur as here.--Mile (talk) 09:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Info Fortified city of Carcassonne during the blue hour, France. Founded during the Gallo-Roman period, the citadel derives its reputation from its 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long double surrounding walls interspersed by 52 towers. The medieval citadel, situated on a hill on the right bank of the river Aude, was restored at the end of the 19th century by the theorist and architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. In 1997, it was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites because of its exceptional testimony to the architecture and planning of a medieval fortress town. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:03, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Info I found this picture really satisfying both in terms of the composition - symmetrical, but with just enough asymmetry to make it interesting - and the beautiful rich colours. Created by Llez - uploaded by Llez - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 17:34, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Support -- Cmao20 (talk) 17:34, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Weak oppose Nice, but the left and right crops feel close (I understand the problem Llez faced, but I'd still theoretically like some space on either side, and maybe on top, too), and the 2nd floor's sharpness might be OK but is hardly overwhelming. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:28, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
Support IMO, there is enough space on either side. Otherwise excellent quality. --Palauenc05 (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think Ikan means that the blue windows are right at the edge of the frame, which is fair enough, but ultimately you have got to make the crop somewhere. Personally I think it is well framed as it is but we will see how the votes go. Cmao20 (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Correct. That's how I react to this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Info You can see a JPG-copy of the original raw file here. The photo was taken with 10mm wide angle. It was not possible to go further back to get the lines more vertical. After perspective orrection there were not many alternatives in cropping in my opinion. I request anyone who has a better suggestion for cropping to upload it using the link mentioned. --Llez (talk) 07:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Oppose Lighting and technical quality
Vignetting. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Oppose Hi Brigante mandrogno and welcome to FPC. This is a really interesting motif and I enjoyed seeing this photograph but sadly it is some way short of the technical quality needed for FP. The detail at full size just isn't there as a consequence of the use of an iPhone camera which generally struggles in low light - please have a look at some of the other FPs in the Sculptures gallery and make sure to view them at full resolution to see the kind of image quality that makes an FP. This photo would also be better if the window was centered in the frame, as is it's clearly closer to the left than the right, and that might be enough to preclude it from FP by itself. Please keep trying though - few people get an FP on their first try - and also have a look at the featured picture guidelines, the quality image guidelines, and the previous succcessful candidates in the FP galleries, to find out what the technical requirements are for a featured picture. Cmao20 (talk) 20:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Cmao20 thank you very much for your kind and thorough response. I sincerely appreciate the time you took to provide me with such valuable feedback. I assure you that I will do my utmost to improve the quality of my photographs and to meet the standards required for a Featured Picture. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow within this community. Thank you again for the support and constructive advice. By the way, I did not use any vignetting filter or any others. Additionally, I intentionally did not center the window in the frame for compositional reasons. I don't particularly like 'perfectly-centered things'.

Comment This is a great motif. As a photo, I find that parts of it are great and much of it is at FP level. But I'm torn because I don't like the parts that are blurred not from the exposure but due to the depth of field, mainly the near right corner and some ways behind it, and I also don't love the sky.

Comment This could be amazing if the stacking and noise reduction could be handled better. Such a shame. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Stacking such characters is not quite the same as stacking 5-10 frames for some landscape photos. However, these are very complex objects. The object is placed on a microscope slide in water and covered with a cover glass. Bringing the models to an interesting angle is already a big job. In this image, the object is at a very rare angle (by the way, you won't find similar images of hydracarin at this angle) and stacking at this angle is very difficult. It is fortunate that these legs were satisfactorily captured in the picture at all. Janeklass (talk) 03:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

- The scene itself is cropped. What other word or phrase would you like us to use to make ourselves clearer? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:30, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Just to note Ikan Kekek, the scene is no more cropped than another tornado damage FP (File:Low-end EF3 damage to a home in Virginia Beach, Virginia.jpg), which shows only two walls of a single house. Do you have any other reasoning besides the "scene crop"? WeatherWriter (talk) 00:38, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'm explaining how we use the word "crop" at FPC, and keep in mind that the photos we decide to feature should be among the very best on the site, not just no worse than similar ones. I haven't voted on this nomination, though, so you are premature in challenging my "reasoning." -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- My mistake. I saw the comment by SHB2000 above and mistook that as your !vote due to the reply comments. I apologize for that. That challenge to reasoning was directed towards SHB2000's "poor crop" oppose !vote as the scene itself has FP-style crop, which is why I eluded to and linked a similarly cropped FP, which was promoted to FP recently actually. WeatherWriter (talk) 00:50, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- On the face of it, the other photo's crop looks cleaner, as the only piece of equipment next to the house that's cropped is a garbage can. But I haven't decided about this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:23, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

- Well same problems, double tailed Eastern quoll, with doppler grass around, smaler area is blured but a bit to much, some notation added. Conclusion: sometime stack wont work, doing handfree might be problem. I made one with 16 shots. Too bad it didnt pass. I see you had 2 shots, was it autosetting ? Since it does not look like. --Mile (talk) 19:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC) p.S. In any case i would raise temp to get rid of silver colors.

Oppose Taken from too far away, in my opinion. The tree is hiding half of the building. Not a special architecture. Average composition with distracting roads and shadows in the foreground, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Neutral Very pleasant mood and decent composition - not concerned about the trees, that's just how the scene is IRL, although agree with Basile that there is maybe a little too much road. However, it's a fairly ordinary church and the technical quality isn't enough to make it spectacular. I have the same camera and tend to avoid using the kit lens whenever possible as it just doesn't offer enough detail or sharpness (I think it's no coincidence that none of my FPs were taken with this lens).

Canvassed vote. See Voting issues with Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton and Joalpe. Very sad to see that no lesson was learnt from this episode. It looks like Joalpe does not visit FPC to participate constructively, but just to support the Brazilian friend. Previous vote was also for a Brazilian candidature nominated by the same in 2021. And older archives are even more explicit.

The choir was finished in 1332, but the rest of the gothic building was never completed, as the result of many factors including sudden changes in the economic status of Narbonne, its unusual size and geographical location (to complete it would have meant demolishing the city wall) and financial constraints. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Oppose Why use these settings for a zoo pic, Wilfredo? Higher ISO and smaller aperture would haven given a much better depth of field. A contrasting Background would be better, but I'm sure that is more difficult in a zoo. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:30, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Capturing a moving animal with the Nikon Z7II under low light conditions presents its own challenges. The camera's autofocus system, though advanced, has limitations when operating in dark environments. This is exacerbated when using the lens at its maximum zoom capacity, 400mm, on a full-frame sensor. The experience differs significantly from working with crop sensor cameras, where the effective focal length extends beyond 400mm due to the sensor's crop factor. Thus, although the Z7II is a formidable camera, especially for landscapes, these specific conditions are less suitable for capturing sharp details in low light situations at long distances. Wilfredor (talk) 23:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Question Is it possible to remove the original photo as alternative and thus to be included in the fifth day policy? ★ 16:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think so, but why rush? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:20, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Just out of curiosity, because I've never seen anyone do this before. ★ 00:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- In any case, the fifth day would be tomorrow 02/03/2024 at 12:43 for this version, not earlier, and the FPCbot would catch it even later. There were recent discussions related to this matter in the FPC talk page archives (as I remember, the answer was no, but you can dig into) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Noms with 'Alts' can't be closed on the fifth day per this discussion. An 'Alt' is always connected to and depending on the code of the original image. (I have fixed that for your with the number of "====" in the heading.) If you propose an 'Alt' you also have to abide by the consequences of that.

Comment I dunno: A blueish tint in the shadows of a shot taken on daylight-balanced film is to be expected. Adjusting the facade in the background towards neutral grey is not the way to go here, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 09:15, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- There wouldn't be such tint in modern photos under the same lighting conditions which to me suggests it's a thing of older technology that can be adjusted. Various digitized photos from that period have similar tint. Brandmeister (talk) 16:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but IMHO in this version the shadows are still bluish enough; in the original the bluish tint was exaggerated – either a poor film was used, or it was not processed correctly in the lab. Of course everything depends on the film type used for the photograph, as different daylight films handled colours quite differently, even in the 1990s when I shot on film. It’s a pity that scans of old photographs almost never include information about the film. If they would just include the border of the transparency (often naming the film brand), we would know more. – Aristeas (talk) 20:03, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors#ItalyCommons:Featured pictures/Objects/Architectural elements#Glass ceilings and skylights Info Galleria Umberto I, Naples, Italy. It was built between 1887 and 1890, and was the cornerstone in the decades-long rebuilding of Naples—called the risanamento (lit. "making healthy again")—that lasted until World War I. It was designed in the Stile Umbertino by Emanuele Rocco, who employed modern architectural elements reminiscent of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. The Galleria was named after Umberto I, King of Italy at the time of construction. It was meant to combine businesses, shops, cafés and social life—public space—with private space in the apartments on the third floor. The building is part of the UNESCO listing of the Historic Centre of Naples as a World Heritage Site. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 08:10, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment I find it plausible that it actually looked like this, per SHB2000's comment, but even if it didn't, personally I don't think perspective correction is necessary here. Shooting from a bottom-up position to emphasise the height of the trees and how the path feels fully enclosed by them on all sides, i.e. the density of the forest, is a reasonable decision to me.

- Yes, it is a portrait and therefore she posed. That's not water, which is rare, but rather sweat. Too much jewelry? well, that's the way this tribe dress, that's how it is.

Oppose Very bad light. You see the shadows? The midday sun comes from in front. Washed out colors with a blue tint.
- The animals are fleeing, captured from behind, as if the photographer was scaring them. So the composition is not appealing at all, sorry.
- Ugly building in the background, and too tight crop at the right, animal cut out at the left. ArionStar's crop suggestion will result in a tight crop at the left too -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- the presence of buildings that you perceive as 'ugly' is representative of the common architecture in many underdeveloped areas, along with the living conditions and daily environment on Margarita Island. This place, located in the Caribbean, experiences intense vertical sunlight that naturally produces strong shadows and high contrast in images. Additionally, capturing animals in flight is done intentionally to lead them to the feeder, offering a perspective on natural interaction in their habitat Wilfredor (talk) 02:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ugly industrial building, if you prefer. But the main problem here is this facade clutters the background, making the image too busy.

Comment The file name is not ok per Commons standard, there is no real description (ok, I can fix that) and the categories were wrong and way off until I fixed them. Even the most obvious one, Category:Frozen soap bubbles, was missing. Instead it was listed as a "glass sphere"! #%&"!! – doesn't anyone check this these days??? New users here get a hard time for not fixing the galleries, but veteran FPC-ers gladly vote without checking the bare essentials on noms, leaving it to those who take care of categories and "behind the scene"-work. Please lift your eyes from the pixel-peeping and read the checklist of requirements for FPCs when you vote. --Cart (talk) 13:52, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment Thank you for the wake-up call, Cart ;–). And thank you, really, for fixing the weird categories.

Info Really happy with the composition of this one with the couple admiring the view. The nice side light on the mountain is the icing on the cake IMO. Maybe not one for pixel peeping as I only had my kit lens on me at the time, but I think the overall mood makes up for that. Created, uploaded and nominated by BigDom.

Oppose I wonder what is the subject. Unfortunately, either the roofs or the hill, I find both unspectacular, sorry. The gray sky and hazy background are also unattractive -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Am I right in saying that the hill is a lookout? --SHB2000 (talk) 08:23, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- That's right. There are three peaks next to each other right in the middle of the city, the one depicted here is the most southerly and I was standing on the middle lookout looking towards it. The idea was to include some of the buildings etc so that we could also see some of what that couple were seeing. BigDom (talk) 09:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for taking a look. Yes, the limitations of Nikon's kit lens unfortunately include a pretty severe drop-off in sharpness away from the centre as you have seen here. And as for the weather, in our 6 weeks in Vietnam this was one of the better days - much less grey and hazy than usual... Not meant to be this time, I guess. BigDom (talk) 23:44, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment I like this photo, but I think it's important for us to know who the sculptor is and how long ago they made the sculpture.

There may be a scratch remaining on the paper to the right of the base of the foreground column -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment regarding the technical quality. I understand your reservations, but please consider also (a) the turbulent situation in which this photo was taken and (b) the limits of the camera used for this shot. Yevgeny Khaldei probably used one of the reporter cameras of that time, similar to the one you see him holding in the photo in the Wikipedia article. These were quite simple cameras, built more for robustness than for image quality. American war reporters used similar models, and some years ago I had the opportunity to play a bit with a well-preserved original American reporter camera from WW II times. It was really very difficult to take decent shots with it, much more difficult than with later film cameras (or with some old Leicas – these are more precise, too). The lens was rather simple (i.e. full of optical aberrations of any kind), it was almost impossible to focus precisely, etc. In the end I can only admire that people took decent photos which such clumsy cameras. Now I doubt that Russian war reporter cameras were much better than that American camera. Considering this I perceive the quality of this and similar photos rather leniently. --Aristeas (talk) 18:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Why different from other pictures taken in the same conditions, at the same period?
- FP should be evaluated on their quality, in addition to the wow factor. There are too many striking historical images to promote them all, in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Aristeas: , found in the archives the confusing section: "I have always seen it as counting Delist and FP-nom are the same; a nom is a nom. Delist includes 'Delist and Replace', so if you have two fresh photos there, you will get two new FPs (...) On FPC there are rather few users who actually take care of the closing, archiving and sorting of noms into FP categories. Making this a 2+2 rule would increase the workload once the noms are finished and for that we would need more users active in that part of a nomination." -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment @ArionStar, you hastily closed this nomination yesterday but didn't take care of the whole long and tedious procedure of delisting, detailed on the main page (section "Closing a delisting request"):
- Archiving the template
- Removing the picture from Commons:Featured pictures list
- Updating the previous unsuccessful removal nomination
- Changing featured=1 to featured=2 in the {{Assessments}} template
- Removing the image from all categories
- Removing the "Commons quality assessment" claim (d:Property:P6731) from the picture's Structured data
- Adding a delisting-comment to the original entry in chronological list of featured pictures.
- Heavy task. If you choose to start, please handle the procedure from start to finish, otherwise other participants in maintenance may figure out that the whole process is complete. Now

Neutral I think it's fine but the lighting isn't very interesting. Just an object on a blank background. I would compare to this in the FP galleries which to me is a more interesting presentation of a musical instrument. Cmao20 (talk) 14:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment To me this looks like a good Wikipedia FP candidate – high educational value, clean and clear.

Oppose This seems basically about the chandelier (where is the relevant category, by the way?). But for me the chandelier is not that wow, because in a lot of mosques in Turkey, just as example, you can see similar or more interesting ceiling lights. Otherwise also the dome interior is nice, but not eye-catching enough to feature, IMO. But still good for QI of course --A.Savin 22:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment This, and many photos from similar packaged photo trips, feels very 19th century to me. They give me mixed feelings about how these people are portrayed. Yes, I understand that this is a source of income for a lot of people who can display colorful and photogenic traditions in some way, be it dressing, dancing, fishing or whatever. But it feels creepy and dated. I would much rather feature photos from Wiki Loves Folklore. Looking through the lens of a local, makes the subjects and people appear very differently. The looks that the men in this photo gives the photographer, are eerily similar to what you can see in photos from colonial times. WLF is a lot of images to sift through, but there is a shortcut: Aristeas (one of the people doing grunt-work for WLF) has collected nice photos on subpages of his while he has categorized such photos. Take a look. --Cart (talk) 14:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment, Cart. To help interested readers: my (very subjective) selection of interesting WLF photos encompasses the subpages WLF 2020, WLF 2021, WLF 2022, WLF 2023 and (work in progress) WLF 2024. Some of the very best photos (partially already nominated for FP) are on the extract page WLF FPC. Of course these lists also include tourist photographs, but between them you will find uncommon and authentic photographs taken by locals. Many of them are mostly important because of their educational value (documenting the local cuisine, clothing, arts and crafts, rituals and traditions), but some of them are also photographic gems. Happy browsing! :–) --Aristeas (talk) 15:03, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Cart: Not sure what I should answer to that. I added the WLF template because I realized that the picture fulfills the contest criteria. Whether this candidate is a good one for the WLF contest I'd leave in the hands of the WLF jury. I'm just nominating this image to FP. These tribes have contact to white people 2 or 3 times a year and that's maybe why things look the same way, they looked 150 years ago. These men were proud and happy to get dressed-up and show themselves. It was a celebration where the whole village was involved and enjoyed. In fact they don't get any reward individually, the monyomiji or ruler in the village does, and he distributes it among all families. I have taken many different kind of photos in different villages in South Sudan, I hope there is something among them you don't dislike. Poco a poco (talk) 15:34, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Cart: IMO it doesn't matter who took the picture. What does matter is: Are the costumes genuine? Do they wear these regularly, or are they just something like a carnival for tourists? Yann (talk) 17:01, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Naturally, these people are free to host tourists and make a living of the income they bring them, just like so many other countries do, but to portray them just like the "Great White Explorers" did during colonial times feels iffy to me. I thought we were beyond that. Like Yann implies, a very skilled visiting photographer can get the same sort of good photos a local can, photos that feels contemporary authentic in some way, but this is not one of them. --Cart (talk) 17:40, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Support In 15 years, another photographer (or the same) will visit again and bring these pictures to the village. Families may be very happy and grateful to recognize their ancestors wearing their traditional clothes!
- We're not here to judge the people on their skin colors. What does it change if the photographer has white, brown, yellow, coffee or porcelain skin? The pejorative comparison to "the "Great White Explorers"" breaks the Wikimedia Foundation Non-Discrimination Policy and could place the photographer in a very embarrassing situation. There are not thousands ways to photograph a group. Some of them are crouching in the foreground to make room for others behind. Universal.
- I find these timeless ceremonial outfits, made of shells and local crafts, much more precious wonders than expensive jewelry. The colored patterns painted on the faces and body with natural pigments are also impressive -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:40, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Side point, but I wouldn't assume these are timeless outfits. The only thing I know is that they wear them now, and I suppose they're being presented as traditional, but of course traditions change and are not necessarily age-old. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

- Portrait photography is always an interaction between the photographer and the person(s) being photographed. It matters greatly if they know each other, have some sort of connection (be it nationality, gender or skin color), or are complete strangers. It always affects how the photo will turn out. --Cart (talk) 09:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, and one can make similar arguments about many genres of photography. But that’s not the point. Here, and probably everywhere else, a photograph should be judged on its achievements alone, putting aside anything about the photographer. —-Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:13, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- The more you study, the more you learn :-) From the website 101 Last Tribes for example (nonprofit project helped by a team of anthropologists and photographers who are passionate about Africa’s tribal diversity), you'll find at least 11 pictures of similar shell helmets (click on "Photo gallery" at the top, see number 79, 80, 86, 89, 94, 96, 101, 103, 109, 116, and 117).
- Read also the sections "Culture: Arts, Music, Literature and Handicraft" and "Music and dance" on the same page: "Music and dancing are central to Lopit culture. There are different dances for different occasions. Each dance has specific costumes, music, at time allocations associated with it. Drums are an important part of the dances."
- Watch this youtube video and this dancing ceremony with similar costumes made of shells and feathers to understand that these people wear these clothes for specific events, yes, to dance and enjoy life together, and not "because of a white photographer". These costumes are authentic, of course. They have a history. Pretend the opposite (e.g. "Do you really believe that those people still wear these items outside of shows for tourists?") appears completely wrong. Another show with true costumes and the arm of a white photographer at 40 seconds seems eloquent to me.
- Do you know more about this musical instrument tied to the calf? There are dozens of dances with costumes in this tribe, Bura, Ikanga, Rongit, Hitobok, etc.
- They live in isolated places. Don't expect to receive faxes or emails from them. Or it would be like asking Chinese or Russians living in America what they think about their home countries. The answer would be far, even opposite to the locals'.
- Something is certain: they allowed the photographer to take the picture. They obviously posed for this photo. See this behavior as a generous gift, an act of communication, and a touching mark of hospitality -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:58, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Support JukoFF (talk) 14:02, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Support I think this is a great group portrait. Whether it's similar to colonial photos or not would be easier for me to judge if I were looking at some examples by comparison, but I have no hesitation in supporting this photo. I'm wondering whether ethnographic photos are the frame of reference for the idea of colonial photography that's being discussed in this thread. The extent to which anthropologists were part of imperialist systems or fundamental critics of the white supremacist ideology underlying them varied, but the father of modern anthropology, Franz Boas, was born in 1858 and was already active in the 1880s, and he and his students rejected white supremacy and pseudo-scientific cultural evolutionism, which held that white people were more evolved than non-white people and that non-white people were "living ancestors" of white people. But the context in which Boaz and his students worked, doing groundbreaking ethnological studies, was very different from the context of someone traveling to a foreign country to photograph people today. So even if this photo is similar in style to ethnographic photos of yesteryear, it wouldn't have the same meaning because the intent of the photographer, his relationship (or lack of relationship) with the subjects, the reactions of the viewers and the political and technological situation are all different from 90 or more years ago. All that aside, I just think this is an excellent composition and cool to look at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:59, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Even if my gut feeling weighs lightly in this discussion, perhaps you could consider what a black photojournalist who has done a Ph.D. on the subject has to say about this kind of photography. In the aforementioned essay she writes: "Further, even as these photographers strive to bring awareness and knowledge to the privileged nations and populations of the world via their images, they often unknowingly reproduce in those photos the same implicit biases that first pictorially rendered minorities as less-than-human." The whole text is worth a read. --Cart (talk) 01:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I had a look at the essay, but I was hoping to see some images in it that showed what she was talking about. My mother was an anthropologist, so I surely believe that racism and white supremacy - and other types of power imbalances - in photography are relevant issues. If I saw anything that seemed offensive in this photo, I might react differently to it, so I respect anyone who does. But as it is, I just like the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Support I disagree with the criticism. We should let the people of this tribe decide for themselves how they want to be shown on camera and how they want to represent their culture. Trust them to have agency in this matter rather than making decisions that it's 'colonialist' on their behalf. The picture is great. Cmao20 (talk) 02:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose I don't think images that are prime examples of White gaze and Imperial gaze should be among our finest. --Kritzolina (talk) 08:41, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think this vote is fair and accurate. I'd be more careful with images of beggars or slums but the people you see here are 1) proud 2) happy and 3) enjoying what they do. I see absolutely no problem to document that, specially if these images help the articles on Wikipedia. But I guess that you should be there and experience it to judge it properly. I find it also fascinating that these kind of images seem to cause more concerns than zoo photos of captive animals. Poco a poco (talk) 18:45, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I can't believe you wrote that! I have read a lot of ugly things here on FPC, but that is the worst. We are talking about human beings here, and you find it "fascinating" that we show more concern for them than "zoo photos of captive animals". This is just too much... --Cart (talk) 21:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why what he's written is at all bad. Poco is talking about consent and agency, the fact that these are human beings with free will, have freely chosen to consent to this shot, and have some control over the way they are presented in the photograph and the way their culture is presented. He is in my view quite right to argue that there's a case that this photograph is more ethical than, say, a photograph of an animal in a zoo that has no control over its situation and is on show to be gawped at by spectators all day long. To argue, as you seem to be doing, that in so doing Poco is devaluing their humanity and comparing them to zoo animals, seems a very uncharitable reading both of content and tone.
- I have the utmost respect for you as a contributor but in this discussion I have to say I firmly disagree with your perspective, probably for the first time ever on Commons. I have yet to see any of the critics of the picture give a good answer to the question of exactly what, if this picture is not okay, should an FP of an indigenous tribe in Africa and their culture look like?
- The closest you get is when you mention the 'open and interesting portraits you get when someone photographs people they live among' in contrast to the expressions in this photograph, but if you wait for someone who lives among the Lopit tribe to produce an FP quality photo, I fear you will be waiting for a long time. And besides, how do we know that their expressions are, as you put it, 'closed, guarded and detached'? It seems just as plausible to me that they see having their photo taken as a serious occasion in which they should present a solemn version of themselves so as to give the best impression of themselves and their culture as possible, rather like the reason why Victorians didn't smile when they had their portraits taken. I have no idea whether this is true or whether they are in fact 'closed and guarded' but it doesn't matter.
- It all seems like second-guessing people's motives and deciding on behalf of the people involved that consensual transactions between people are in fact exploitative. And in practice, even if not in theory, it all adds up to saying that no picture anyone could take of the Lopit tribe or similar cultures would be acceptable at FP. I don't like that. They have chosen to show us something of their culture. Whether we choose to interpret that in the shallow and reductionist lens of colonialist ethnography, or with some real sensitivity, respect and appreciation for their sophistication and intelligence, is entirely on us. But it's not the fault of this photograph. Cmao20 (talk) 22:10, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- First of all I want to answer to the accusation of "unfairness" - most judgements on the FP pages are unfair in some way, as they are usually highly subjective. There are a few votes based on technical issues that clearly make an image not eligible for FP, but otherwise there is always some subjectivity in the votes. Is a slight blur acceptable or not? Is the crop good or bad? We all sometimes find the votes of others unfair, because we see these issues differently. So yes, my vote is unfair in a way, but we cannot avoid being unfair when we give opposing votes.
- But because you chose those words, I want to make it clear that I don't want to judge you as a photographer with my vote (Which I think should be clear anyways, but I know how often these lines are not clear). You did the best job you could under the circumstances and I truly believe you spent a lot of time and effort to take the least colonial and/or disctimintating images you could.
- And still ... we live in a world that has a lot of power imbalance and your pictures reflect that in a way I subjectively cannot support. For you those people look "1) proud 2) happy and 3) enjoying what they do." To me this looks like they are faking those emotions because they are paid to look that way. But as you rightly point out, I wasn't there, I can't know. You also can't know for sure. I cannot judge the image based on the assumptions of what those people feel, I have no idea what they feel. I can only judge the image based on what I see in the image. And what I see is a colonial narrative about how people in Africa live. This narrative is nothing I want to display as one of our best images on the site. --Kritzolina (talk) 09:02, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- If you want to see what photos in a colonial style looks like, there is a good cross-section of such in Category:1910 in Malawi. The style in them looks very much like the style in this and other photos from the same session. The photos from 1910 may be a genuine effort to document people and their lives, but unfortunately this photography style is tainted by an oppressing history[12] and I think we should avoid it for FPs. Browsing through Category:Wiki Loves Africa All Images, you get a very different vibe. --Cart (talk) 11:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for that link. I've started looking through it. So far, the photos that look most similar to this one are taken in a similar way that class photos (such as of high school or elementary school classes) have traditionally been taken. There can be a power dynamic in those, too, if they're shot by administrators, though they're often taken by fellow students (I know my high school picture was, but it wasn't quite in this style; I have at least one elementary school picture that includes me that was taken in this style). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:55, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think you should compare photos taken for the study of scientific racism with class photos. (Or are we talking about different links and photos?) Please read the texts (to the left) that go with the photos. The photos in that link were taken under humiliating circumstances, and the emotional scars are still vivid among the groups that were submitted to these studies. Sweden was no exception, we did the same to the Sámis and the restitutions are ongoing. --Cart (talk) 16:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- For the record, how could I compare picture like this one with zoo photos? That was never my intention and suggesting that feels like a blow below the belt line. I was talking about the ethics behind it. Thank you for your answer to Cart's comments, Cmao20! Again, I see nothing wrong with this picture and I believe this also needs to be documented and no, there are no cameras, cell phones or even electricity there. Expecting that a local makes a "proper" documentation is not realistic and I really wonder whether it would look in a way much different like here. With the first FPC of this trip that I proposed nobody seemed to have a problem, and I'm not sure what the big difference is. I will now refrain though from commenting any other opinions here or elaborating mine because I feel that I repeat myself. Thank you. Poco a poco (talk) 17:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- The first picture actually made me so uncomfortable, I was not able to gather my thoughts enough to oppose. Kritzolina (talk) 17:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- To tell the truth, I've grown so tired of all the times the boys here at FPC nominate yet another naked or sexualized woman and call it art, I've grown numb to it. Protesting all of these, and you quickly get the stamp of being a raving feminist. Just like in real life, me and other women often turn a blind eye to such things, or we would be angry most of the time. It would be impossible to stay friendly and get along with men in photo communities like this. We often have to go along to get along. Sad but true. It is easier to speak up about men in a male forum. --Cart (talk) 18:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I understand. I could see how the photo of the woman could be uncomfortable to look at. I realize what baggage there is in white people making images of exoticized topless or naked women. But the nude is indeed a long-established artistic motif, with all the baggage it brings with it, and while I think this discussion is legitimate and important and thank you and Kritzolina for leading it, it hasn't so far convinced me to oppose these nominations, though I'll certainly continue thinking about it long after this nomination is over. In terms of the 1910 photos, I looked at more of them just now and did look at the captions. The one of "Slave Women" should be tough for anyone to contemplate, and should make people think seriously about the context of all the other photos of Livingstonia. I'm not sympathetic to the argument that photographing naked people and showing those photos is wrong, though, and by no means do all feminists argue against erotica. For example, I know a woman who consciously paints male nudes with the female gaze. In many facets of life, it's the power dynamic and not whether people are nude or not that messes things up. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Of course nudes are legit artistic motifs and you are right about what you say, but it's the female body that is so often overrepresented due to the baggage of how art was made up until now, and it gets frustrating after a while. Although things are happening in the real world and men appear in advertising campaigns in ways only women were shown before, it will take some time until such changes reaches FPC and similar photo communities. --Cart (talk) 23:21, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Definitely. And it's horrible that the women's rights that my mother fought so hard for now have to be fought for again and regained here in the U.S. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:55, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

In the picture I cant see any pride these people might be feeling in this attire and pose. My concern is that is this the part of their culture, do they really want to preserve it or its a compulsion. If this is done for the sake of earning money, then I would tell it is mockery of the civilisation."

Question Overprocessed? ★ 15:56, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Overprocessed, horizon is bulging. A FP needs a better presenttion of the sun. --Milseburg (talk) 19:13, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Support I kind of disagree with the criticisms although I understand them. It's IMO okay to have the sun blown out because after all the Sun is blindingly bright. The composition is nice, I like the contrails in the sky, the dune in the foreground and the path in the midground. Personally I think the author has pushed the saturaton a little bit too high but I have seen far more overprocessed pictures succeed on this page. Cmao20 (talk) 02:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment I like this photo very much. It looks like the main objection from supporters and opposers is that the colors may be oversaturated. Stephan Sprinz, what do you think about that, and if it seems like a fair criticism to you, would you consider dialing back the saturation a bit? I should say, I don't think objections to the sun being blown are reasonable. If the sun weren't blown, everything else would be too dark. The other question is about the alignment of the horizon, and that's something Stephan could edit, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry but I just don't see what's featurable about this. It's a very simple composition of a pretty normal and generic motif that you see every day, the black and white gives it a kind of eerie/horror movie vibe which is cool I guess but not really that suitable given that it's trying to illustrate a place of government. (Perhaps that depends on the government...) In short, fine picture with decent image quality but no wow for me at all. Cmao20 (talk) 01:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment I marked some lines that remain on her face. I sort of feel like this picture has been unduly enlarged, overemphasizing scratches and producing posterization lines on the upper right and center. I remember when my brother made analog prints blown up with an enlarger in the 70s. They were high-quality. I think the problem here is that an existing analog photo has been enlarged, producing digital artifacts, instead of redeveloping it at a larger size from the negative. If that doesn't make sense, let me know. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- More restoration done. Thanks for spotting these scratches. Sure, it would be much better to have a non-compressed high resolution scan, but we don't. I think an earlier version was over-compressed, which produced these artifacts. Yann (talk) 12:12, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Definite improvement, thanks. Still some artifacts on the upper left, which I see I didn't mention before. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:48, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Info created by unknown artist, uploaded by DcoetzeeBot, nominated by Yann
Info This representation of Buddha Vairocana, the “Resplendent One,” features several of his defining characteristics, including his white color, performing the teaching gesture (dharmacakramudra), and sitting on an elaborate lion throne. The two bodhisattvas flanking him—one green and carrying a sword, the other red and holding a lotus—and the teachers in the upper corners cannot be identified with certainty. This painting was likely part of a set and only the knowledge of the whole set enables the identification of the secondary figures. Pigments on cloth, 14th century thangka.

Question Nice photo. Is it a bit grainy, or is that just how the motif looks? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Answer: The decoration is a form of stucco. I quote a sentence how it is described:Hier finden sich für Graubünden aussergewöhnliche Stuckaturen im Stil des Frühbarock, hauptsächlich mit reich verzierten Früchtemotiven. See also Wilipedia Reformierte Kirche Zernez There are also many cracks in the plasterwork. --Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 05:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. What I think I'm seeing is some quite fine-grained noise, which is only darker and lighter and does not vary in fundamental color.

Comment Impressive resolution, but we already have a FP version with different colors, so I wonder why this is much more blue. Yann (talk) 19:56, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- I was looking at other photos and comparing them with mine, I asked myself the same question and I have come to the conclusion that perhaps when they took the photo there was a type of lamp that emits yellow light giving that tone. Today it has been replaced by a fluorescent light that does not directly impact the painting.

Comment I am seeing what I believe to be green and purplish CA at the pixel or a few pixel level interspersed all through the picture, and I don't see that in the FP Yann linked, so I'm reluctant to consider this an FP. I find it hard to believe that was part of the artist's palette. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think so either, but after 500 years perhaps the colors underwent some modification. I could upload the raws if you don't believe me and need to see for yourself Wilfredor (talk) 23:45, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, it's possible the colors changed, but why doesn't the other photo show those changes? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:43, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Info That's not CA but chroma noise, and it's all over the image. El Grafo (talk) 09:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- I know there is noise due to the darkness of the place, but I generally don't do denoise on paintings because noise is information in these cases. When it comes to normal objects, noise removal works but, as in the case of Topaz AI, in paintings the software gets confused with the faces and tries to add non-existent details, so I have chosen not to remove the noise Wilfredor (talk) 11:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

editInfo It was difficult to remove the noise due to the dimensions of this image, I generally don't remove noise from paintings so I had to take the appropriate time to do a respectful job.

Oppose Sorry Poco, I often enjoy your photos and I'm sure this was a great sight in real life but there are a few issues here for me. Firstly, the composition is very busy - probably unavoidable given the subject but still the half-cut head on the right and the tuft of grass on the left are not ideal. The harsh daytime sunlight has washed out all the colours and there are burnt patches on the cattle in the background. Speaking of the cattle in the background, there is something going on there because despite the fact they are outside the field of focus, some of the cows have a sort of "fingerprint" pattern on them which must have come from the post-processing (presumably where there were folds in the skin). Lastly, despite the f/9 aperture very few of the cattle and their horns seem to be in focus, which is a shame. BigDom (talk) 12:32, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- BigDom: I've improved the crop to get rid of some disturbing elements and also cloned out half a horn on the right side, better? And as you guessed, yes, the scene was overwhelming, seeing hunderts of those huge cows swimming with the eyes just over the water was an experience. Poco a poco (talk) 17:58, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Definitely better, thank you, but my opposition still stands; the colours are too faded and the depth of field too small for this to be featured IMO. BigDom (talk) 07:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm sure this was absolutely amazing to see but, sorry Poco, just not enough of it is in focus for me to support. It would make a great cover on a glossy coffee table wildlife book but IMO not sufficient for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 02:10, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Weak oppose

Info putting aside the debates on Poco's other nomination of tribal people, I think this one has a superb composition, excellent image quality, and perhaps feels a bit more natural and informal. Created by Poco a poco - uploaded by Poco a poco - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 12:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Support -- Cmao20 (talk) 12:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment Simple and authentic portrait, but the description is currently not specific enough. Male or female? It seems to be a woman with masculine facial features, and also holes in the ears. Decorative scarification on the chest. With this pipe, the scarf tied on half of the head, and the expression of meditation, the picture is showing someone in a very natural way. Excellent quality and good light -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Poco a poco, Basile makes some good points here, I think this image will pass but could you add some of these things to the description? Cmao20 (talk) 14:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps the composition would be even more striking if cropped a little at the left, but it's a matter of choice (and personal taste, probably). Within some groups in Africa, women smoking pipe sometimes indicate they have had a baby. The pipe used by women is longer so that when they breastfeed, the smoke from the pipe does not go near the baby's face -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Support Good work in South Sudan, Poco! ★ 17:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment There's something I want to say, since Poco's work in South Sudan has gotten some flak: South Sudan is a very poor, conflict-riven country (and before that, region of Sudan) that is not much visited by tourists. So regardless of the relevance of criticisms of the manner of any photographs of South Sudanese people, it's valuable to have them. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Ikan, I fully agree. I would also like to say that I chose this one to nominate because I am pretty convinced that even if you agree with some of the criticisms made of other nominations (which I don't, but that's besides the point), I don't see how this one could be considered guilty of the same. Cmao20 (talk) 01:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, I understood that. I think we need to salute intrepid photographers for going where few foreigners dare to travel (unless they're in relief organizations, etc.). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- In case people didn't understand it, by no means do I view all of the photos from Poco's Sudanese trip as problematic. Of course not! There are a few that IMO have the problematic style I mentioned before, but this is not one of them. In the same way, not all photos taken during the colonial era are problematic. Curators who handle large collections at museums face that same problem with defining such photos since the definition is fluid and often subjective. [16] This here is a more sensitive portrait. --Cart (talk) 12:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Info Giorgio Vasari was a Mannerist painter who, in his day, was highly respected as an architect as well as a painter, but less so in subsequent centuries. He served as the Florence Medici court's minister of culture, and the Lives (his work on the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects) successfully propagated the notion that Florence was the best in the visual arts for a long time. This painting clearly shows his artistic and cultural sensitivity during the italian Renaissance period.

Comment Gallery link fixed – given that the plant really belongs to the bell peppers (as the file category says) and hence to Capsicum annuum, the link is Commons:Featured pictures/Plants#Family : Solanaceae. But “pepper” is ambiguous. If the plant rather belongs to the Piperaceae, the gallery link would be Commons:Featured pictures/Plants#Family : Piperaceae, but that section does not exist yet (I will create it when necessary). AFAICS we have one “peppers” FP, File:Peppers in water.jpg, but that one concentrates on the fruit and hence is listed under Commons:Featured pictures/Food and drink#Vegetables (raw). --Aristeas (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment I agree that this is not an FP because of the extremely high standards for featuring flower pictures. However, I'd like to give this photo a little love. The resolution and details are really impressive for a cellphone! The categorization is bad, though. Please read COM:OVERCAT. I'd love to compare this to other flowers of the same species, but your categorization does not facilitate that, so I'll leave it to you to figure out whether it's the most useful photo in a suitable scope for a COM:VIC nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Could have been a perfect photo, if the branch on the left side was not there, and if the background was black or green, if the can in the background was removed, and if it has been a bit better light. But otherwise I like it. -- -donald- (talk) 12:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose per above, but, per Ikan, this is not too far away from FP quality for a first try. You should nominate it at QI and I'm sure it'll get the badge Cmao20 (talk) 15:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Regretful oppose per BigDom. A shame because I like the mood and the atmosphere. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Support Bold but well thought out editing: the foreground leaves and shallow depth of field create distance, the selective dodging and burning draws the eyes to the main subject, and the muted colours and punchy blacks are fitting for a bogland. A pity about the chromatic aberration on the handle and hands, hopefully the photographer can address it. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 18:52, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose To my mind, this is a valuable photo, so probably a VI, but not an FP with those distracting greenish blobs in front of the people. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Ikan Kekek: Well, that puts a kibosh on my totally-extant plans to do nothing but Blanche Roosevelt the rest of the year. More seriously, I like to check any work I do against what's available. The previous one was definitely the best on-wiki, but checking [17] I saw this one, which, while it does show off the small depth-of-field of the cameras of the era, did focus that depth very well, so quickly did it too, since, when I showed it in the en-wiki FP nomination, people loved it as well. Actually caused a bit of a problem as opinions were so equal.

- @The Cosmonaut Don't you think that removing the trash from an image compromises its authenticity? It seems to alter the reality and potentially misrepresent the exact date and time the picture was captured. Regards Riad Salih (talk) 23:25, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think it really depends on the context. If a trash pile is the subject, then yes manipulating it would be detrimental. Here, the subject seems to be a pretty Catalan town.

Weak oppose per above. In this case one picture or two would be enough, in my view. A heavy set does not really bring anything more than the "face front view", unless you want to inspect each of the tiny corrosion marks from every angle. It often happens that we take numerous FP-level photos of the same subject, and in this case, the nomination work consists of choosing the best one(s). As written in the guidelines "Selecting the best image is part of the nomination process." Five pictures here (including two similar pairs) is an arbitrary choice, and the whole set would be too much, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose The picture has noticeable stains, scratches, and discoloration as a result of aging and inadequate preservation. The restoration attempts are only partially effective, resulting in a lack of dynamic range and a loss of information in the shadows and highlights. It is challenging to see finer details in contemporary photography due to the image's softness and lack of sharpness. Wolverine XI 18:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Wolverine XI: Please take into account that it is a 118-year old picture. The quality can't be compared to recent ones, or even to pictures from the second part of 20th century. Yann (talk) 20:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Searching for the best photographs on the website is the main goal of FPC. This image is out of date, and rather than wallowing in the past, we ought to work toward achieving higher and better quality photographs—even if it means removing images from the earlier 1900s. In short, we are moving forward, not backwards. Wolverine XI 23:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Wolverine XI: Sorry, but you are completely wrong here. Nothing is out of date, and certainly not old artistic photographs. You better study a bit more of photography before making such judgement. Yann (talk) 23:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- I know more about photography than you can possibly imagine. You have not experienced what I have, you are not me, and you have not lived my life. And may I inquire, by which authority do you evaluate my photographic expertise? You make a lot of nasty remarks in your response, and to make matters worse, I just got back.

- I wasn't implying anything, just agreeing with you that I must not have understood something about the case you're making and asking for a clarification. So in terms of the photo being too poor-quality, do you mean the photo in comparison to other photos of its time and/or the quality of the restoration? I'll look at it again, but I'm interested to understand your point of view better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:43, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Support Thanks for nominating this Yann. This version is already an FP on en-Wiki, in case people don't know. What I love about this photo is the simple and elegant composition and its timeless subject. Four young women are up on a high point looking at dancers (who were predominantly male at that time) performing in the square below. It's not far-fetched to imagining them joking, teasing and making comments about the guys below, same as young people dotoday, and always have done. --Cart (talk) 14:23, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Question What is different about it and what additional things does this nomination provide compared to this other one? --Wilfredor (talk) 15:18, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Wilfredor, the difference is that in this one, we can see the entire Haik (the white cloth) instead of only half of it as shown in the picture you mentioned. Regards Riad Salih (talk) 15:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Support IMO nice, and although the highlights are technically blown, for me it's okay because this is what white clothing in bright sunlight would look like to the eye. Better composition than the existing FP Cmao20 (talk) 15:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose I don't agree that this subject is worthy of a second FP. It is too similar. People might think that that the jewellery being worn is part the the haik, but it is not. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp the image can also be used to showcase the accessory worn on the head called Khit er rouh. Best regards. Riad Salih (talk) 19:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Too similar to the other one. --Palauenc05 (talk) 18:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Question How likely is it that there would be a golden hour at 9am in that region? --Wilfredor (talk) 15:00, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Wilfredor The light of the sunrise creates this effect by adjusting the white balance on the camera. This method is called the Chinese ink style in photography, and it's challenging to combine all the elements to achieve this result. Regards Riad Salih (talk) 15:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Info This panorama of the San Marino (City) is the result of the fusion of 60 photographs. Above you can see the Guaita Fortress and its famous feather. The whole panorama is breathtaking even if the background is slightly foggy: During the winters, especially in the months of February and March, it is possible to see advection fogs on the Adriatic Sea, which tend to invade the mainland for several kilometers from the coast.

Not the previous version before this correction of the tilt made at 20:02 -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose It is a nice shot, but it is quite tilted, quite small and has oversaturated colours. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Support I admit I was a bit hesitant to give this picture an upvote, fearing someone might comment about a "Brazilian friends group". However, I decided to cast those fears aside because, frankly, the photo is outstanding. I believe the size is perfectly appropriate given the rarity of images of this style and from this region. The composition truly deserves recognition. As for the colors, could they be considered too saturated? Personally, I don’t think so. To me, they are simply the reflection of a diverse and rich nature. --Wilfredor (talk) 19:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose The photo was taken in right place and right time, firefighter's face shows interesting emotions, but the image has multiple problems. Composition is the most severe IMO, including cut off feet of the firefighter, partly cut off police officer, cut off part of firefighting car, looks like that the crop was rather random. The verticals are not vertical. The sky is blown out. Midtones are rather noisy. --LexKurochkin (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose I really like the expression on the firefighter's face, but per above, the image is clearly tilted even in thumbnail size and the crop on the right is kind of messy. There is potential here though. Cmao20 (talk) 20:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Cmao20: I'd be interested in working on composition if there is potential. Cropping and rotation would be fairly simple, but I have no experience dealing with noisy midtones or blown out skies. gobonobo + c 22:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sadly there's not much you can do about the problems LexKurochkin mentions unless you have access to the RAW file. There isn't any point trying to recover detail in the highlights when it's just not there. Cropping and rotation would at the very least improve this image considerably and make it much more useful for visitors to Commons. Cmao20 (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Is he apparently feuding with all these people too as well as you? No evidence of 'personal grudges' here at all, timestamps clearly indicate someone just going through the list of current nominations and reviewing them objectively (he cast two support votes too).

Oppose 2017 quality definition and processing. Camera has limited quality you could have achieved. Harsh light. PoV too high. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:25, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose per Charles + zoo photo. --SHB2000 (talk) 20:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Weak oppose I agree with the above comments but keep trying, this isn't that far from FP! I think the main problems are that the sharpness at full size is not as good as our best wildlife photos and that the light is quite harsh. But this image is a solid QI and useful for the project. I wonder whether the sharpness could be improved if you go back to the RAW file and tone down the in-camera noise reduction. Cmao20 (talk) 22:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Like others said, not quite, but it's a good effort and deserves the QI label. I'd like to encourage you to keep on trying for FPs of animals. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment Thank you for the encouragement; I'll try to focus on animal pictures taken outside of zoos, pending QI approval as a sort of first-pass filter. grendel|khan 20:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

- This tutorial must be wrong then... Ikan Kekek. It states no promotional photos. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:56, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Do you mean "By default, you can’t upload someone else’s work"? Yes, that's the default. However, doing so is allowed in cases like the ones I outline, and for example, loads and loads of properly licensed photos have been uploaded from sites like Flickr. If you think this photo is purely promotional, I'm not sure why, but again, that's a default for images that are purely promotional and lack educational value. Look at "However, there are some exceptions" on that page. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not saying the artwork doesn't have artistic value but the nominator made it clear that this image was uploaded to Commons as part of a paid project. Octoviison media is not the photographer, just a production company employed by Leeds to promote the city. We have no information on copyright though I guess the photographer assigned his rights to the production company. Don't we need to know who took the photo? Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Charlesjsharp - Octovision Media is a drone photographer based in Hull, who assigned their images to Leeds 2023 (Leeds Culture Trust) and gave permission for this image and a couple of others to be released under an open license. They are not a "production company employed by Leeds to promote the city". Secondly, again, I looked carefully at the guidelines here and I could not see where it precludes nominations from paid projects, indeed there are examples from other paid projects like this that have already been Featured on Commons. This one was voted for with support by a number of people, including yourself. Lajmmoore (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not so. Octovision Media is a corporate entity, not a photographer. It employs photographers/drone operators. And we can assume they were paid to take the promotional photo. The image I supported is sharing culture. Not the same as pushing the merits of Leeds as a city. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose No promotion please Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Charlesjsharp it's good to have open disucssion. 1) This is is a cultural project, part of a Wikimedian-in-Residence project to share Leeds' cultural heritage - like hundreds of other GLAM partnerships. 2) I don't think it matters that they were originally paid for the image, what matters for Commons is that it is now available in the public domain, which it is - this isn't precluded anywhere. If it was all the hundreds of historic photos taken in professional studios (that are now in the public domain) would be disallowed because at the time a photographer was paid for them by the sitters. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:26, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment Let’s look at this in a more relaxed way. Do we have a sharp distinction between selfless contributions and promotion? I don’t think so. There is plenty of promotional material on Commons user pages as well as on file pages. Just look at all the links to personal websites, assorted photography projects, wildlife parks and reserves, etc. Some users even have their websites included in the ‘Author’ or ‘Source’ parameters on Commons, even if they upload their files directly … This is all common(s) practice. Now what is worse with this photo? It does not cry “Buy x!” or “Come to y!” or “Vote for z!”. It does not even say “NN is a great photographer!”. It just documents an interesting work of art and can be used for many things. So why shouldn’t we welcome this photo? – Aristeas (talk) 12:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Question Colleagues, how do we determine why one or another medieval painting might get status and another? The question is rhetorical, I have another favorite painting of this painter:) JukoFF (talk) 00:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Personally I will support if it is a work by a reasonably well-known artist (i.e. notable enough to make their work important) that has at least some aesthetic appeal to me and if the quality of the reproduction is good. In this case the painting has a Wikipedia article so its notability is clear. Cmao20 (talk) 00:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer, but I'm not sure that the presence of a Wikipedia article should influence the choice, in the case of choosing other digital images the presence of a Wikipedia article in 9 cases out of 10 plays no role at all. Why does it matter in this case? JukoFF (talk) 01:11, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I mean it's not essential. For the artist to have a WP article is probably enough for me. I think our job re. artworks on Commons FP is to build a library of high-quality digitisations of artwork that might plausibly be considered great or valuable. Cmao20 (talk) 02:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- IMO, no, it's a nice composition. But besides, didn't that issue disappear from the art world when Warhol's Campbell's soup cans were accepted as art, not just commercial art? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Support Nice photo. I don't know whether it's below COM:TOO for all the relevant countries. Anyone who thinks it probably is not should feel free to start a deletion request. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Support I like the photo, anyway. It could be sharper but I don't think more sharpness would add that much in this case. Cmao20 (talk) 19:33, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

- Just "Kit Kat" is enough for easy-search purposes, IMO as the author. ★ 21:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Nope, since chocolate isn't the only thing called Kit Kat, you need to specify the name of your photo a bit better. I always associate Kit Kat with the nightclub in Cabaret, since we rarely see these chocolate bars here in Sweden. We have Kexchoklad instead. ;-) --Cart (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- But both associations are sweet ;) Wilfredor (talk) 22:56, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Support Indeed. Yann (talk) 09:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Comment The composition had huge potential but presumably was taken with a phone/low quality camera (no EXIF) as there is little definition, noise and CA. No idea if the original could be reworked. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
