•  Info created by Ukexpat - nominated by Anon. The picture should be featured because it looks elegant, is of a sport that is very popular in Commonwealth countries and we don't have any cricket pictures featured. -- 122.169.83.32 18:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support The shirt is overexposed, but besides that I like it. Łukasz Wolf Golowanow (talk) 18:56, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Good pose, yes it would be nice to have a cricket FP (and I say that as an American with no special interest in the sport) and nice detail on the batsman and his uniform. However, is the blur on the bat motion-related or DOF? If the latter, that might prove problematic for other reviewers. Daniel Case (talk) 05:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
  • I think it's motion blur. See the glove. It's in focus, more or less. Łukasz Wolf Golowanow (talk) 16:24, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

  •  Comment Paolostefano1412, your account is old enough. It is just that you are short by 3 or 4 edits if I counted correctly (This is a weird rule that I have opposed). To meet the edit count, just do an edit on some page (may be your user-page or some sandbox) then keep undoing that edit till you reach 50 edits! --Jovian Eye <sub>talk</sub> 13:29, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment Komposition könnte etwas unzentraler sein, ist aber exzellent in meinen Augen. Was mich ein wenig stört ist das Blitzlicht, was ziemlich auffällig ist und einen Teil des Pilzes überbelichtet hat (siehe Annotation). Vielleicht kannst du da noch etwas gegenwirken? --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 19:22, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Carschten; overexposed areas and the flash makes it seem like the background is fake. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:25, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment I love the DOF on this one, but still have to think on how to cast my vote. I'm still a bit bothered by the overexposure, though I think central compo works for this unearthly diorama-like image. W.S. 08:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment Hello, I reduced the lights a little bit. Is this one OK? I like the diorama-effect with the bright fungi but if you want, I can upload another picture with a darker fungi with no so a hard diorama effect? Many greetings H. Krisp (talk) 09:36, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose As I mentioned in QI, butterflies are basically flat on the side, so it shouldn't be that difficult to get the whole side in focus (here partly OOF). Legs are different kettle of fish, so that would be OK. Also I find the BG a bit noisy, which can easily be fixed. Sorry F.B. W.S. 09:03, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Good quality, detailed, technically very well done (vertical lines are parallel all along the image, can't see stitching distortion, good EV and contrast). On the other hand, you had very bad weather, with some haze and very poor lighting. You could crop it a bit on the sides so the plants don't disturb, and reduce color-noise a little (see mountains). Sorry, but I really don't know if this qualifies for FP even though it's well taken, IMO it lacks wow.

•  Support -- Paolo (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Info The image looks a little tilted, but I compared it. It's an optical effect because the dock is not "parallel to the horizon". Anyways, I really liked this place when I visited, had great lighting and those red roofs in the same color are very nice. Hope you like it. -- Paolo (talk) 04:00, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too few houses, too much sky and a little more sharpness, the picture would do well. Why ISO 320 and f/16. I think with f/8-11, would be more sharpness in the picture. --Ritchyblack (talk) 07:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
  • But the river is already a bit blurred, and higher aperture would mean more blur in the background, including the river, which was intended to be part of the subject. You are right: composition could be improved. But I would actually reduce the houses to have a better 1:3 ratio with blue(sky)/blue(river)/red(houses), and then exclude the crane on the left. That would be a possibility. Sharpness is better without noise reduction in the original pic. That is a matter of personal taste. I prefer smooth skies. But I'm open to suggestions -- Paolo (talk) 13:15, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
    • I would prefer not to see only 1/3 houses. My preference would be 2/3 houses, 1/6 river, 1/6 sky. That would put the ship at the (2/3, 2/3) focal point. --99of9 (talk) 04:13, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
      •  Support I prefer this way actually. I don't need to see 100 orange-rooved houses to get the idea. I like the far-looking style here. It teaches the viewer immediately that we're looking at a city by the ocean and reminds me by the sky that Spain is one of those places that is dry almost all year 'round. IMO this is beautiful, educational and less boring than just a lot of houses. BTW this looks more like 1/2 houses, 1/4 water, 1/4 sky as is anyhow -- One, please.

  • I disagree, I find this angle more impressive. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 04:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support It's interesting to have a candidate so directly comparable to an existing FP. I picked through both versions, here are my inclinations:

• The two pics have very similar resolution, disappointingly small given that this is such a standard shot, why not use the whole sensor / not downsample?
• Both have similar sharpness.
• The angles are so very similar that I can't say which I think is better.
• This one has better lighting IMO, although it is more "flat", it shows better detail on the wall facing left. I find the shadows too strong in the other version.
• This one has less pine trees obscuring the castle. Amazing that they've cut so many down, presumably for this reason?

So, this one has my support, and if it gets up, I think the other should be delisted. --99of9 (talk) 04:47, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

•  Info created by Voyager 1 Spacecraft, NASA - uploaded by Knowledge Seeker - nominated by Surajt88. Pale Blue Dot is the name given to this 1990 photo of Earth taken from Voyager 1 when its vantage point reached the edge of the Solar System, a distance of roughly 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometres). Earth can be seen as a blueish-white speck approximately halfway down the brown band to the right (annotation added). The light band over Earth is an artifact of sunlight scattering in the camera's lens, resulting from the small angle between Earth and the Sun. Carl Sagan came up with the idea of turning the spacecraft around to take a composite image of the Solar System. Six years later, he reflected, "All of human history has happened on that tiny pixel, which is our only home. -- Surajt88 (talk) 04:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

•  Support This image was selected as picture of the day on the English Wikipedia for April 22, 2010 and I am of the opinion that it shoud be a featured picture in commons as well. Surajt88 (talk) 04:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Interesting science, but quality is not good enough for Commons. Yann (talk) 05:32, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
  • I agree. But at 6 billion kilometers away, quality similar to other FPs here cant be expected. Hope I am not sounding like a nutjob when I say that I nominated it for the reason that it is the most distant photograph taken of us and it has more beauty in its meaning than its content. Surajt88 (talk) 05:42, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
    • Not only the quality is not good, but the size is way below FP requirements. It is certainly a VI. Please nominate it here. Yann (talk) 07:18, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
      • Thanks. will do. Surajt88 (talk) 07:24, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, below size requirements Tomer T (talk) 07:53, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support I wanted to nominate this myself. You can't apply size requeriments on this one. It represent Earth as a thiny pixel in the vast universe. What resolution do you expect? --Lošmi (talk) 10:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

• As you say, it's a vast universe... there are plenty of pixels available in the subject! :) --99of9 (talk) 13:04, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose Valued Images might be the right place to nominate it, but not FP. -- H005 21:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support This iconic photo is the most distant photograph ever taken of earth. The opposes miss the point entirely. JJ Harrison (talk) 03:04, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Yes, this kind of picture is beyond the rules of the FP. The ones who vote against it can try to make a better one.... -Gzzz (talk) 20:28, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support per the FPC guideline- "Happy judging… and remember... all rules can be broken." --Jovian Eye _storm 22:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support this picture makes sense --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 10:10, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Utterly ridiculous. This is commons FP. Let's keep at least a bit of credibility. (per H005, Tomer T and Yann). W.S. 05:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I don't know how this process could be considered credible if this image doesn't pass. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:31, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
    • I think you are confusing this process with another process on en:. Contributors that are new to commons should read the whole guidelines text before nominating (or voting for that matter). EV is not important on commons FP, other criteria are. The most important, yet most elusive and hardest to describe ingredient of a commons FP is the WOW-factor. That is something that strikes you the moment you see the image, not something that registers after reading half a page of explanations (I'm exaggerating a little here, but still). And then there are of course resolution, technical quality, composition and others. W.S. 05:26, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
      • No need for the patronizing explanation - I've been floating around here about five times longer than you have. Perhaps Carl Sagan could explain why this image is so special, and has great WOW-factor. Technical arguments don't apply - even if someone decided to launch another probe today, it took voyager about 15 years to get out that far. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:45, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
        • My comment was general, Noodles, and not specifically aimed at you. And I'm sure your were not yet 'floating' around here in 1982 ;-). W.S. 07:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Huge encyclopaedic value. I don't think there will be another shot like this in the near future. It is as unique as it gets. In this case value simply surpasses mere quality. --Laveol (talk) 08:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Per WS for the fact en:FPC appears to be more appropriate place (or Valued Images on Commons) - Benh (talk) 11:46, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

  I've made the picture on a cloudy day. On a sunny day there are a lot shadows, and it doesn't look good IMO. I believe there is another transparent glass roof over this one. The shadows I'm talking about are from this upper roof, or depending on the angle from this roof itself. I hope this answers your concerns. --sfu (talk) 18:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Obviously, I made it for myself as a desktop wallpaper along with File:Wallpaper Red Arrows.jpg, and then I thought it might be a good idea to upload it here, but I forgot to change the name. I pumped up the saturation a little bit (so that the planes actually appear red!) and tweaked the shadows so that the smoke appeared more crusty, but I did not rotate it. They were actually flying upside down. By the way, note how you can see the moment the smoke is created.

•  Oppose. Sorry to spoil the fun, but I have a lot of problems with this. Firstly it would be more obvious to me that this is in a natural setting if the background hadn't been so blurred - it's a very unrealistic effect, at least for my eyes. The frog couldn't have been more than a couple feet off the ground, yet it's totally blurry just a couple of inches from where it is? Usually if you're looking at something (and are fortunate enough to still have good vision) and somethings just a few feet from it and unobscured the things in the background should be fairly sharp. I supposed this trick was employed because FPC is still to understand that there is such a thing as too much lead room and it would be impossible to crop out the leaf to the right, but I think I would've preferred normal sharpness, even if it attracted "no wow"s. Also the direct overhead lighting is bad. It's unrealistic because frogs are pretty timid and don't go under direct light often. It gives away that this was taken in a zoo (the frog must feel safe there). -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 04:05, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Weak support The shot is very nice. Love the colors, the lighting and the architecture. It looks like a very peaceful place. Good EV, little noise, no halo effect, good saturation and composition (like the angle). Don't give full support because there is a little bit of CA (e.g. chimney on the left), and mostly because some points lack sharpness. Maybe a higher f and slower speed would have been better. Crop is too large on the right too, imo (why keep the disturbing signs?), but that's ok. -- Paolo (talk) 17:11, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Mir wiederum gefällt die Perspektive nicht besonders, denn von der Durchfahrt könnte man mehr sehen, doch diese ist durch eine schattige und damit mMn schon allein störende Mauer verdeckt.

•  Comment Yes, I am aware that the planes are a bit unsharp... But just a bit, and I believe it is understandable at impact speeds of about 900 kph. Besides, it's more about the smoke than about the planes.

And on another note, let´s not forget that art, whether you consider this art or not, for the idea of art is above any individual´s consideration, always has an ideological consideration, like it or not, evident or not. It is an instrument of communication. FP is a place where images, including art, have a place, and as such, the whole realm of its considerations apply. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment Why is it hard for some of you to respect legitimate ideas and concerns about a very serious issue such as censorship. Passing judgement as lightly as some of you do about this issue speaks volumes of the state of sensibilization about this phenomena. It is obvious that it is not a concern, and as such, censorship has such a soft spot from which to enter and establish itself. You may not agree on my posture regarding censorship and may be offended by my critisism of it, yet I am also offended by the silence that promotes it. And Herbythyme, it is so arrogant on your part to tell me I should know better, do you know better? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:07, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

You are welcome to your views - sadly licensing is not about your views but legality. There is nothing at all light about the judgement on legal issues I assure you (neither is it censorship which I something I am against). I am sure you will continue to hold your views despite any real legal facts. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:16, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

@ Herbythyme: There is a legal expression that says: Not everything that is legal is just, and not everything that is just is legal. Legality is a human creation, and as such, subject to many flaws. At one point in history slavery was legal, and considering such precedent, we can assume that many other legal issues answer to the same baseless logic. Legal defense of legitimate intellectual property is absolutely fine with me, but censorship masqueraded as a legal issue is an altogether different animal. For all you know, you (or any of us) may be doing the devil´s bidding without knowing it. But regardless of ethical, legal and moral considerations, censorship it is.--Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:16, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Info A photomontage made by compositing 16 freely licensed images, this is one of the best photomontages available on Commons.
  Although rules discourage digital manipulations, but this is a fictional art work and fits very well in FP as an art work, this work should not be mistaken with a real landscape, the fact is in this work manipulations adds to it's EV .
  Another version of this art work has been nominated before, in this new version, I have corrected the issues mentioned in last nomination, also I replaced the image used for earthrise with the Blue Marble which is closer to real colors.

  • They shouldn't be sharp, focus on different objects should be similar with it's surrounding area, it must be even as much as possible.   ■ MMXX  ^talk  16:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

This looks to me like a very random compilation of objects, technically all nicely done, but what's the point? --Quartl (talk) 08:53, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
  • The point may for instance be the illustration of the technique and/or possibilities of photo-montage. W.S. 09:39, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
    • Yes, but for an illustration of the technique 2 or 3 pictures would have been sufficient. What do you need 16 pictures for when each additional picture only increases the absurdity of the outcome but not the range of possibilities? --Quartl (talk) 10:03, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
      • Your question is like asking why do you take picture of a landscape while you can take picture of an object in your home and you don't have to be worry about weather or other stuff... this is just another photomontage like this, this or this one, it's a free art work with free and verifiable sources, to illustrate the photomontage techniques and to shows how can one create something using works with compatible free licenses.   ■ MMXX  ^talk  19:50, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Support Contrary to Miguel, I think the composition is good, but might be a little better if there were more on the top and right -- the center of interest should not be centered. As for DOF, this is a wild bird and it's a 300mm lens -- given that, the DOF is fine. It certainly looks good until taken up to very large size.

•  Oppose Chromatic aberrations and imo, the contrast should be improved, and the bee is partly hidden by the flowers. -Gzzz (talk) 09:48, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

I've uploaded a new version with the CA fixed and contrast enhanced using Lightroom. As for the bee being partly hidden by the flowers, I can't fix that. There is no position where the bee is not partly hidden by the flowers as it is sitting in them. The sculptor presumably positioned the bee within a flowerbed to give the impression that a giant bee had landed there. So I think being surrounded by flowers is the intention rather than a placement flaw. The bee wouldn't look nearly so attractive on a concrete plinth. The intention of this photo is to highlight the three aspects of the Eden Project: the biomes, the sculptures and the landscaped gardens. The fact that the hexagonal biome structure mimics a bee's honeycomb is also appropriate I think. Colin (talk) 14:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections, this version is better. In my opinion it deserves a QI but however not a FP. -Gzzz (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Info This is my first FP nomination ever, so I'm still not used to the system here. I'm nominating this image because it has a very good detail on the vaults, floor and the side panels, the light is good as well. It is well centred and represents the object (the refectory) quite well, even the painting over the fireplace at the far end can be seen fairly well.
•  Support -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice picture. Yet, the right wall is very noisy and there are CA on the edge of the window, sorry. --Gzzz (talk) 20:03, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Interesting, but there are noise and chromatic abberations, and the composition is really boring (centered).--Citron (talk) 20:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment - I withdraw my support after it has been called to my attention the fact that the wall colouring is artificial. It is, indeed. The place is not grey, but rosy, the grey tones are due to the HDR technique, which enhance the shadows. Though it provides much better detail than usual, it does so at the expense of showing the place like it really looks like. I also agree about the noise mentioned above on the right wall.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 07:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Neutral Very nice picture. Centered composition is appropriate here (and is not boring by definition!). Some flaws however, as indicated per others. Please don't stop at your first FP nomination, even if the critics are disappointing, and persevere! -- MJJR (talk) 20:58, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Strong oppose Once again, FP nominations page is not a battlefield. --Dodo (talk) 09:04, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment Dear Dodo, your strong oppose seems to come from an ideological perspective. The world exists in several dimensions, physical, emotional, sociological, etc., etc. Censorship is a social phenomenta, just as human rights, religion, culture, etc., etc. This image illustrates a current topic and the consequences of the interpretation of certain laws, that while enacted, they do not necessarily represent the interests of society in general, just as one time slavery laws did not represent the interests of the majority. This image promotes an idea against censorship, just as an image of a church promotes the idea of religion, or a picture of an athlete the idea of sports. Why should unpleasant social issues be excluded? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

In my oninion, the entire plane would be the best framing. If you really want to show a specific part of the plane, a real close on (a wheel, the cockpit, an engine...) can be nice. What do you think ? --Gzzz (talk) 09:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

•  Info This astronaut photograph, taken from the International Space Station while over China (approximately 400 kilometres to the north-west of Beijing), provides the unusual perspective of looking down on a meteor as it passes through the atmosphere.
•  Support As nominator Originalwana (talk) 12:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Neutral Wow! What a cool pic to see! Very high EV, but I don't think it qualifies for FP. It is difficult to take and all, but it has strong CA, noise, blurry and blown parts. The crop is weird too, in my opinion. But it certainly is a VI. Paolostefano1412 (talk) 13:46, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Even if a picture taken from outer space is always impressive, this one, in my opinion, doesn't reach the criterias for FP. The earth is blurred and the crop is unfortunate. -Gzzz (talk) 20:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
•  Info This is probably the first picture of a meteor took from above the atmosphere so it is not only impressive (as any outer space picture) but significant too. It reminds us that meteors are meteorological phenomena! G Furtado (talk) 00:39, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Then it meets the VI criterias, but not the FP criterias imo. --Gzzz (talk) 07:34, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Still it is in the criteria for nomination "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject". A picture of a shooting star from above is a very very difficult subject ;) --G Furtado (talk) 00:36, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

There was a tree right behind me which just didn't allow me to get a better composition. If would I have cut down the tree I could have stepped a little back-/leftwards and made it a little different :) Didn't dare to do that though. But however, this is what I got – I call it a compromise. --Ximonic (talk) 18:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

• Gosh! The standard equipment of a Wikimedia photographer (who wants to have FPs) is at least dynamite, a chainsaw, a submachine gun and a helicopter. What a rookie mistake, Ximonic :-) But seriously, I think sometimes are the local circumstances not good enough to make a featured image, so sorry, I understand really good what you mean but I still oppose. The candidature looks promising indeed :-) --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 20:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

• How to conjure a wow factor into a city? :-) So that's reason why I use that light with some low clouds and the lovely evening light after a very rainy day. This should be atypical compared to other town (panoramic) images. Moreover the images were photographed in a mountain range, but maybe I should heed that discussion :-) I didn't noticed that the building is cut off... But I think it carries no weight because it would be hidden by tress indeed. And also, if I would take a lower point of view, I consequently have to crop at left and right (because there would be a handrail) and so the crop at bottom is the lesser of the two evils.
