Statue d'Amphitrite par Y.Collet
  • Descriptions in several languages ​​are recommended. The photo is used on two pages of wikipedia in French. It is logical that the description be first in French. I don't make pictures for FP. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 10:18, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course, but when I wrote that, it appeared that the French-language description had been removed. This is a good photo, but I'm still not sure that with the color noise, it's an FP, so if someone held a gun to my head and demanded a vote, it would probably be in opposition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:39, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Torre do Faro at the Virgen del Faro ("the Lighthouse Virgin") Chapel, lighthouse monument. Brantuas, Ponteceso, La Coruña, Galicia, Spain
  • I need this issue resolved before I can support. Before voting, I want to know what I'm looking at. I can find no Wikipedia article about this, and according to Google Maps, the location (as given in the geocode) is "Nosa Señora do Faro", which doesn't tell me anything either.--Peulle (talk) 07:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Ikan Kekek and Peulle, of course Virgin is correct, my fault. So I'm going to explain this place: it's the top of Monte do Faro, the Lighthouse Mountain. There have been built two constructions, one is the Lighthouse monument (Torre do Faro), the other is an old chapel. Please see here and here. The local newspaper wrote some article about it in 2009 (in Spanish). Hope this helps... Anyway, it's quite strange that there is so little information about the place because the Lighthouse column can be seen very well from the surroundings. --Basotxerri (talk) 17:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius, Lithuania.
  • @Pofka: Well, if no shadows were lifted, then I'd say it is photographed at the wrong time of day, giving the sun too much access to all the parts of the church. I know that most photographer usually want to get everything as well lit as possible, but in doing so you sometimes lose the effect of depth and drama in an image. These two photos are a very good example of this: sunlight and shadow. The photos are taken handheld from the same place at roughly the same angle. They have been post-processed in exactly the same way. The first is well lit with sunlight everywhere, like the church here. You can see every part of the rocks in great detail, but it's flat and uninteresting. In the second photo, the shadow of a cloud passed over the quarry, dulling the cliffs in the background, but in this photo you can clearly distinguish the cliffs from each other and you get a sense of depth in the photo. I'm not asking for anything so extreme here, but some gradient in the light would have saved this from looking as flat as it does now. Sorry. --Cart (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bank of pink clouds reflected in the roof of a blue car
  •  Oppose Beautiful clouds, awkward reflection. It would be a lake, maybe. But there are 3 problems now with this mirror effect : 1) the DoF is too shallow because the car is close to the camera, so at full size the reflection is completely out of focus and not pleasant at all, 2) What makes a reflection beautiful in general in a photo is produced by the surface, and the texture of the material, subtle waves for example with water or polished tiles. Here a roof of a car doesn't make this elegant reflecting surface. It's a creative shot (giving the illusion of water at first sight), but deceiving when we start zooming, 3) The contours of the reflecting plan and the intersection with the horizon are unclear and make this car, which doesn't belong to the landscape, intrusive. Sorry, this is not working for me. I also find the image rather dark with uninteresting black silhouettes in the middle. So nice colorful clouds certainly, but not a successful composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:13, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Regretful oppose per Basile's critique. A great idea that was worth trying, nevertheless. Daniel Case (talk) 03:54, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
discussion on DoF and mirrors
  •  Comment Just to point out the laws of physics state that "For all planar mirrors, the object and virtual image are positioned equal distances from the reflecting surface". So the clouds and the reflected clouds are essentially equidistant from the camera wrt DoF concerns. The car roof paintwork is not acting as a perfect mirror and is slightly convex. The DoF is not "too shallow", and greater DoF would not bring the reflected clouds into "focus", but would bring any dirt or scratches into focus. -- Colin (talk) 11:49, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dirt and scratches yes, but also more details of the clouds. Laws of perfect mirrors are not valid here, since the surface is diffuse. For a better approximation of the optics in this particular case, here are some basic principles concerning the surface reflectance. I'm not saying this surface would be pretty to look at (that's in my second point), but at least the reflection would not be blurred like that. I studied physics and optics at the university and worked in illumination systems for trucks dashboards in Siemens VDO in Germany for my final project -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:30, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well I think FPC can be a place to learn, as well as see pretty pictures. The surface is only partly diffuse, otherwise you would not see a recognisable refection with detail. The reflected clouds really are kilometres away, not 2m away. The scattering of light by the imperfect surface is not something that any degree of focusing or increasing DoF can recover, so the unclear reflection cannot be fixed by better technique. If one focused on the car roof, say, one would see the orange-skin paint surface texture, or dirt, and the clouds would be even less clear. It is possible to get an image on a diffuse surface that is at focus at the diffuse surface itself -- this occurs when you watch a film at the cinema. In this case, the image has been focused with a lens onto the surface itself. That is not the case here. For what it's worth, I like the clouds and the reflection is fine, but the middle bit is rather dark. I think this is a good idea for a photo, and it could be tried another time (with clean car!), which is also why I think it important to understand that "shallow DoF" is not the problem here. -- Colin (talk) 13:04, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you want this color on the clouds, the surrondings are bound to be on the dark side since this was just before the sun set. I could brighten the center, but I like to keep my photos as much as what I saw as possible. --Cart (talk) 13:13, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I wouldn't fiddle (too much) with reality. Woodland is a light-sink at night and not much can be done about it. I guess I'm more looking for either the middle to be so thin you don't care about it, bright enough to be interesting (light coloured buildings or illuminated city?) or silhouette (File:Arran sunset.jpg). -- Colin (talk) 13:21, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Remco Evenepoel winning the Men Juniors Individual Time Trial
  •  Abstain after Granada decides to withdraw, not signing her edit as always (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) Time lost for everyone. So better to leave early, to avoid the related delist nom which may follow next. I can understand the frustration for the second nomination which is about to fail, but honestly these two simultaneous withdrawals sound too much like an unreasonable whim -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:41, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not assuming bad faith, just putting this withdrawal in its context. After several warnings, why continuing not to sign one's withdrawals ? We can stay mellow, and I find positive to maintain this candidature alive, maybe I will vote next time, but not only to support always, also to oppose sometimes if necessary -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:59, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • +1 Maybe this bicycle would have been great isolated from its background too, but the picture would just have not been the same. These cars are very important and visible in any cycling competition, so I find normal to see one here behind, slightly off, so the champion is still very distinguishable and in focus in the center -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:52, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • This user has been banned eight months ago, so is not allowed to vote here anymore. Changing one's name to go unnoticed and using multiple accounts is perfidious. These double votes prove that the intention was definitely dishonest and pure vandalism. I felt embarrassed many times before with these false accounts that I suspected fake too, with no mean to prove the cheating. These "oppose" looked like revenge in many situations, but were just accepted. Now there's no way to keep this vote here. As a nominator, I take the responsibility to strike it out, and if the author is unhappy, they can always try to remove their block by solving their issue with the admins. Not my problem. I will not fix the previous nominations that these fake votes also polluted, but as long as this one is active, I just put this poor review in the garbage. And I think all the other nominators should feel free to decide what to do in their own situations. The past discomfort is certainly worth this pleasure. We should not let us get attacked sneakily like that, because if we keep these votes, then it's too easy to start again, creating a new account, get quickly 50 edits to be allowed to vote, and then change the consensus for personal reasons. Even if we manage to stop them later (and too late), they would have enjoyed their misconduct. So not this time, sorry. Inadmissible -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:25, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose A photo is not used to make wow - overexposure --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 09:17, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @GerifalteDelSabana: No one is going to ignore any votes here, however irritating or irrational. One user one vote. A good reason for the 'oppose' is very strongly recommended, but not all users get this due to language barriers or some other reason. Don't get us started on some new voting controversy when we are right in the middle of the biggest we've had here at FPC. --Cart (talk) 19:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @S. DÉNIEL: If you have difficulties in making yourself properly understood in English, please leave your comments in French (or another language you are comfortable with), there are many users who understand and speak it. That way nothing gets "Lost in translation" or manner of speaking, since French has a way of using one-word-comments in a way English doesn't. It's a sure way to be misunderstood. --Cart (talk) 19:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bonjour et merci. C’est effectivement très difficile pour moi de parler anglais et une traduction automatique est source de mutuelles incompréhensions. Je constate qu’il ne faut pas beaucoup de votes négatifs pour que certain y voit une série d’agression incohérente (surtout si ça les arrange – je ne parle pas de vous évidement). Regardez la page de vote, dans son entier, et vous constaterez que je ne vote pas plus négativement qu’un autre. Je comprends que des votes négatifs peuvent énerver des gens très motivés. Ils peuvent sembler injustes. Cela dit il ne faut pas confondre demande d’explication et demande de justification et transformer une justification en remise en cause. À ce compte tout et tout le monde peut être jugé inapte ou incompétent. Sur les votes eux-mêmes, nous mettons un motif et souvent un seul pour justifier un vote. Pourquoi accabler une photo d’une litanie de points négatifs. Donc, sur cette photo je trouve les blancs brûlés, mais je trouve aussi que le cadrage n’est pas très judicieux. Le monument aurait été mieux sur le deuxième tiers. On préfère généralement qu’une personne ou une façade ne soit pas tournée contre le cadre. Les courbes des collines en arrière-plan renforce bien la focalisation du regard sur l’ouvrage – c’est bien – mais il renforce aussi le déséquilibre dû au point précédent. Ce cadrage a été choisi pour qu’on puisse voir les drapeaux mais pour moi ils sont plutôt secondaires (trop petits). Personnellement j’aurais choisi un cadrage carré qui permette d’éviter ce problème. Si je n’ai pas mentionné ces points, c’est que j’ai remarqué que certains s’obligent a suivre les remarques des contradicteurs pour obtenir leur étoile. Je n’aime pas trop cette pratique qui ressemble plus a une contrainte qu’a un conseil. Enfin ces drapeaux ont probablement une importance d’un point de vue encyclopédique et il serait donc idiot de demander de les enlever. Croyez bien, que si mon commentaire est laconique, il repose sur une observation attentive et raisonnée. Cordialement.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 08:55, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • S. DÉNIEL: Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Je comprends très bien le français, mais je ne peux pas l'écrire. Seulement très mal. En tout cas, nous avons maintenant un meilleur moyen de communiquer. Je ne pense pas que vous ayez donné trop "d'opposés". Je pense qu'à l'avenir, il serait préférable que vous soyez moins laconique dans vos critiques. De cette façon, nous pouvons éviter les malentendus. J'ai également apprécié la lecture de votre analyse réfléchie et complète de la photo. C'est à partir de commentaires comme celui-là que nous apprenons. FPC ne consiste pas seulement à voter pour des photos, il consiste également à apprendre les uns des autres et à partager des idées sur la photographie. Et s'il vous plaît, laissez vos commentaires en français. Ceci est un site international. Une bonne critique en français vaut mieux qu'une courte en anglais qui peut être mal comprise. Peut-être Ikan, qui parle beaucoup mieux le français que moi, pourrait vous en dire plus. --Cart (talk) 12:35, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cart, je doute vraiment que mon français est meilleur que le votre. En tout cas, S. DÉNIEL, je suis satisfaite que vous avez établi votre bonne foi et je vous remercie d'expliquer plus votre opinion. Je suis d'accord avec Cart qu'il soit bien d'expliquer vos votes plus dans le futur si vous voulez. C'est normale qu'on peut disputer vos opinions, mais j'espere que beaucoup de gens liront vos paroles ici et au moins pausent sinon arrêtent de douter votre sincerité. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lighthouse Heligoland-Düne

::* Support sorry I voted too quickly with the memory of the previous version.

  • The red color is always a bit troublesome when it comes to digital cameras since the sensor is prone to shift that part of the spectrum into infrared. If you have big red areas in a photo, correction is almost always necessary to make it look natural. This is much better. --Cart (talk) 16:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Everything you can clone out. But as I argued I did not see the point why this few persons should disturb the image impression so much. In fact I cloned out some persons that was in the mid range of the image. But the far away few persons gives the image life without disturbing the relaxing and calmfull charakter. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:28, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pankhurst arrest
  • Hi, S. DÉNIEL; I don't rightly know how the current version was achieved, but resolution is secondary for such an historic photo (compare: the historical category). If someone were to create an even better, restored version, that would be a great service to the community, but I fear I am unable to. Btw. please remember to sign your comments.--Peulle (talk) 19:19, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed, and this is the most ridiculous one I've seen so far. It's illegitimate to oppose a historic photo because the original scan size was lower than 2MP. Judge the photo as it is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @S. DÉNIEL: I'll address your concern properly, since there seems to be a misunderstanding of the rules. Point #1: an image must be judged in its current version. As you can see on the image page, the original version of this image was only 590×800, but higher resolution images have since been found in digital archives and uploaded by other users, thus replacing the original upload. Therefore, the image file is bigger than the minimum requirement. Point #2: there are exceptions to the rule which apply here. Allow me to explain: Yes, the 2 megapixel rule is normally in effect and applies to all pictures. There are, however, exceptions, and I encourage you to read about those in the Guidelines. As for the exception for this particular image, the relevant passage is: "Given sufficient "wow factor" and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality." Given that this image records an important moment in history and is famous in its own right, users might have voted for it even if no size bigger than 2MP existed. As it does, however (see point #1), the point is moot. In summary, and I'm sorry to say this as I think each user should be allowed to vote their minds on FP images, but your vote is wrong since it was made on faulty premises.--Peulle (talk) 18:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for all these explanations. I thought the picture was the same and artificially enlarged. I should have said it in my comment, sorry. After watching with more attention I see that it is not the same version. the noise is the same but there are other small details. the link of the source deceived me. thanks again --S.

Epitaph for Georg Keyper
  •  Support and a comment: That really reads as an "oppose" rationale. "It's the only one of this painting" is a VIC rationale, not to me an FPC rationale. That said, I think we can have different standards for frescoes in churches than for paintings hung in museums, and I do think this looks quite good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:20, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brand sign on the closed Lysekils canned seafood factory
  • I did photos from several (possible) angles and this one was the one that turned out best. The angle and the perspective makes the composition more dynamic than the other. You can see them here. The central strut of the sign is vertical and the rest of the photo is playing with the lines. The near horisontal shots looked just boring and a perfectly horisontal shot is not possible unless by drone.. --Cart (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Staircase of the Wilhelmspost in Bamberg
  • When i say dark : Quand je dis que c’est sombre je vois surtout qu’il manque des valeurs claires qui auraient apporté plus de contraste et un aspect moins oppressant. Centrer un point de fuite est très risqué, le rendu est souvent décevant. On préfère le mettre au tiers pour pouvoir laisser la spirale se déployer plutôt que de se refermer sur elle-même. Ça diminue cette impression de tomber dans un puits sombre. Il aurait été préférable d’enlever du cadre le bout de mur droit en bas qui est inutile et où l’on voit la déformation du à l’objectif. La composition est basée sur les parties droites de l’escalier alors que le point fort c’est une spirale courbe. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 06:44, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you have a good point there, that the mid-tones are a bit dark and oppressive.

Brilliant emerald (Somatochlora metallica) teneral female
  • Criticise but please don't guess S. DÉNIEL. No HDR. If you knew about wildlife photography, you would know that HDR techniques are seldom relevant - like when taking this hand-held image on a windy day in a clump of bushes in a forest where the only support possible was a monopod.

  • You should read the FP guidelines Hockei: A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph. Charles (talk) 20:23, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You mistake difficult with seldom opportunity. ISO 1000 is too high and f/4.5 is too large so that the DOF isn't enough. Then you try to conceal the bad quality with Photoshop with this overprocessing and sell us the picture as a FP. Too bad that the supporters above do not recognize this. --Hockei (talk) 12:23, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As a talented bug photographer you should not make such an elementary mistake in analysis. In low light there is no sensible alternative to high ISO and large aperture. The other possibility, using flash, is not good for dragonflies because of the reflection of the wings.

Map of the Rhône river from Geneva up to Lyon
  • It might not be as easy as that. If this is now once again promoted to FP, the automated system will add this into this month's FP chronological too and it will appear in this year's POTY. Of course these re-noms and the cleanup need to be done, just not sure which is the best and least disruptive way to do it. --Cart (talk) 18:19, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I hear ya, but I don't think there's any way around it. Once delisted because of this fraudulent behaviour, an image should still get a chance with a new vote (at least if the vote was close), and that inevitably means it will be set as a 2018 FP if promoted. I think that's just the mess we're in and we'll have to live with it. Actually, it does rather well illustrate how disruptive the behaviour was. For my part, it's a  Support, although the image could probably do without that white border. I love old maps.--Peulle (talk) 18:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I looked at how we did this in the previous case of PumpkinSky. In the chronological, the FP was striked. I think we can do the same now, that way it's clear what happened and why it appears twice (if promoted again) in the chronological list. See example, January number 80 on Commons:Featured pictures/chronological/2018-A. And of course it was removed from the FP gallery, but as you say, that may be done later.

  • +1. For this photo to be of use, there also needs to be a size that anyone can download, not only a select few with powerful computers. Could someone please make a copy that is say about 30% = 5,765 x 8,647 px? Sort of like it's done with this photo. --Cart (talk) 15:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, ✓ Done I just didn't want it to appear that it was my own photo. I uploaded it and copied the file info from the page of the original, also linking between the two. The downsizing was done in PS with maximum quality retained. I also took the liberty of cropping the bottom ever so slightly, as there was plenty of room available.--Peulle (talk) 10:07, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The other one is better in my view and I supported it, but the main issue now is because both are very similar. One has more pixels, one has more foreground, but both show the same view, same colors, same horizon, same reflection.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  • Ehm ... actually, it's the other way around. Are you sure you've read the guidelines I linked to? You're talking about QIs: "The purpose of quality image status is to recognize that at the moment of creation, a Commons user skillfully achieved a desirable level of quality, a recognition that is not erased by later advances". For FPs, on the other hand, the point is exactly that: "The purpose of featured picture status is to recognize that an image is currently among the most valuable images—the top fraction of a percent. As overall image quality improves, some images will be delisted."--Peulle (talk) 16:24, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure. The other one is a little bit better, yes. And I voted with "neutral" (not "keep") for this reason. IMO the new is a good FP, but it could be better too. --XRay talk 19:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

European herring gull on Helgoland-Düne
  • I'm not really sure if you every made animal shots in wildlife. This requires long focal length (here: 400 m). It's a optical rule that you have blured fore- and background when you shoot with 400 m. The main objekt is totally sharp. Don't understand the necessarity that the pebbles or the sea has to be sharp. On the contrary: with the blured fore- and background the main object is more in focus than it would be if everythink would be sharp. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:48, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sunny green paddy fields with gray sky
  •  Oppose per Basile's own point; I think this one is a bit too similar to the others. As we already have several great shots of similar scenes, I don't see what makes this one extraordinary.--Peulle (talk) 10:19, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • No problem, this comment reminds me your oppose here. Though concerning your review "per Basile", certainly you misunderstand my point :-) Here I nominate this picture because I find enough differences with the previous ones. Sure they're all about green rice fields, but also different places with different trees, different compositions, under different weathers. So, maybe like the shells by Llez, the mountain views by Moroder, the butterflies by Charles, or the flowers by Famberhorst, this picture of paddy fields is also special in its kind.

Pont Vieux et Cathédrale Saint-Nazaire, Béziers
I had to try to recover the right white balance as my camera registered a RAW file far too much cold. I remember when I leave that place to check the light colour on the bridge archs, end the colour was indeed yellow colored, as well as on the church. Though I maybe pushed a little bit too warm the WB + I of course added some saturation. Hope that is not too much unatural.

I agree with the scaffolding, but it is a typical feature of such buildings. As far as I know, this is in place for several years. And I do not know what these young ladies are doing. --Uoaei1 (talk) 12:36, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice shot, but I'm not getting the "wow, this is one of the best images on Commons" vibe. It looks a bit like a shot any tourist travelling along the river could take. I'd like to have seen a photo from a higher angle (drone?) showing more of the buildings extending at both ends. As it is, I'm not seeing enough of the town, partly because of the trees.--Peulle (talk) 16:51, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry per Peulle --Michielverbeek (talk) 20:42, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose To me it lacks a clear subject or compositional idea. The river is just "there" but takes no role in the composition, although it might have been able to provide some stron lines. The view towards the building is blocked by some trees right in the centre of the frame. Of course, a good panorama can be awesome without following the traditional conventions of composition if it instead can manage to create the illusion of "being there" while looking around. Unfortunately, it doesn't have that effect on me either. --El Grafo (talk) 07:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose My main problem would be that it is overexposed, as the pale clouds and sky suggest, although that is more evident at full size. But ... Peulle and El Grafo have points regarding the composition; perhaps it did not need to try to take so much in. Daniel Case (talk) 03:24, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- KTC (talk) 20:58, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't think the sharpness and level of detail are high enough on this one. Also, can I just say: I'm not sure I agree that all of these should be renominated, at least not if the vote was very close. As this one made it through only thanks to one illegitimate vote, is it really worth bringing it up again? It's not like it won in a landslide. Or is that the point, to only nominate the close ones? --Peulle (talk) 21:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    They are all close, since only the ones where striking one of the double vote made a difference from promotion to not are being demoted. If striking the double vote didn't make a difference to the result, the image stays a featured image. (Ignoring the current proposal here to demote all of L/Σ/A images where there's double voting.) There's also some that would had featured if not for double opposes. Those aren't being promoted though. At least one of the renomination below is such an image. -- KTC (talk) 22:21, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A man carries a huge hammerhead

* Support per above --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support -- KTC (talk) 10:49, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment I don't really care whether the flatten metal tin (?) get put back or not for Commons' purpose. I prefer the edited version. -- KTC (talk) 20:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support JukoFF (talk) 11:05, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm not at all satisfied with this edited version. Firstly, the quality (such as the noise) of both images can be criticized, which means that the subject matter (the "wow") is what carries the most weight. Given that, I see no reason why an edited version should be nominated instead of the original. Secondly, touching up some shadows might be fine, but when you go to such lengths as cloing out litter from the street (again, for what possible reason?), effectively changing the scene, it gets a hard 'no' from me. Frankly, I'm astonished none of the professionals supporting above have pointed this out.--Peulle (talk) 14:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't put words in my mouth. I did not support the cloning out of those birds, as you can clearly see in the conversation I even considered removing my support of the photo entirely, but it would have passed anyway.--Peulle (talk) 15:52, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Because the destructive edition cited by Peulle. I preffer the original version without any color or scene alteration. I added a selective noise reduction to the original version --Photographer 17:03, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I'd agree with putting the litter back in the photo, since it's part of the scene in this war-scarred city. I'm not really seeing destructive edits, though. What's more than minor? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:06, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my opinion, there could be made some minor improvements like shadows and highlights, but since the quality isn't primarily what is being judged here, why not jut nominate the original instead? That's my main beef anyway.--Peulle (talk) 20:02, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't think any kind of editing is acceptable for photo reports. Subjectively I also find the tonal touch ups less than desired or needed. -- KennyOMG (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I prefer this version with the recovered highlights on the stones on the right and brightened shadows on the left. The removal of the trash on the left is fine for me: It is disturbing the balance of the image, and there's plenty of trash left in the picture so that removal of this single piece does not affect the picture's integrity. It's a much stronger image without it. Similarly, removal of that white piece of building (?) in the background it totally fine for me as it is distracting, is not identifiable, and in reality would be covered by trees as well had the camera been positioned a little bit more to the left or the trees grown a little bit more. Imho, this is exactly how a reputable professional photojournalist would edit this. --El Grafo (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very good. --Moahim (talk) 16:53, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Preparations for the open-air concert of the Dülmen Summer at Wiesmann Sports Cars, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
  •  Comment For me it's a picture of architecture and the relationship with the concert is far. This photo would be deleted in my country for the architect copyright. I do not see his name.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 13:04, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • First of all: You should sign your comments. The photograph may be deleted in your country if it were taken in your country. I guess, it's France. It's difficult to take photographs in France. So it's no problem, in Germany we have Freedom of Panorama and in this special case I've the permission. But I just added the name of the architects. The building is one part, the illumination the other. The illumination is part of the concert three days before the concert.

Tram (railcar 65) in the Stadthaus 3, Muenster, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
But there wasn't enough space to go to right without having the post in front of the tram. I picked up a disturbing bench in front of the tram and moved it to the right. IMO it's the best view of this side of tram without having too much disturbing elements. And there is wall at the right too. So your proposed position may be an impossible choice. And the light is the light of a good afternoon. The building is closed at night or sunset or other light conditions. I'm happy about this light, the meeting with a helpful and responsible person was fixed three weeks before. --XRay talk 14:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ikan, only gifted people can see an aura :-). It is usually a glow (rather than darkening) around a high contrast edge, often caused by tonemapping with too much local contrast (Clarity) or highlight recovery. Sometimes it is just an unfortunate positioning and the lighter/darker areas are real. Sometimes it is a bit of an optical illusion. -- Colin (talk) 07:38, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By "downsized" I mean that this image is only 3,872 × 2,581 pixels, and the camera used has the potential to shoot 6016 × 4000 pixels. Please see the Guidelines: "Images should not be downsampled (sized down) in order to appear of better quality."

Fishmonger in ICA Fish stall holding a salmon
  •  Info Just a small note: This is in a fish stall and the two pieces of paper on the counter are price tags for some of the products in the stall. He was doing some tagging when I interrupted him, so not irrelevant. The are in Swedish and says (translated): "Smoked mackerel 15.90:-/hg" and "Herring pickled with crayfish 25:-/hg". The are very much part of the environment in a Swedish fish stall, as are the tools of his trade in the background: cart with crushed ice, shovel for said ice, etc. --Cart (talk) 17:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • But it's posed photo, so composition can be carefully chosen. The fishmonger was not be presenting such a large fish for sale, so the tage for other fishes are not relevant. His expression is not natural. Charles (talk) 07:55, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes it is a posed photo, staged in a perfect way. There is a long tradition in imagery to depict people with their tools and associated things around them (1, 2, 3) Without the items, the image would be sterile and have no context. His head is centered on that shiny steel thing, giving the illusion of a 'halo' and the fish has plenty free headroom to 'swim out' into. --Cart (talk) 09:19, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

* Support Scary... And for those who still wonder about size for gifs, this image consists of 79 frames so the real file size is 79 x 1,280 × 720 pixels = 72.8 Mpx which is very large for a complex gif. It's about as large as the system can take. --Cart (talk) 08:22, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Peulle, just what I thought. This is set to a 0.1 sek change rate. If you look at the file's page (Other versions) you can see that I have made a version that runs at only 0.5 sek speed. If need be I can make other versions that run even slower so that it is possible to examine the map at any speed you like. I think the 'fast' original gives you a good quick idea of what's going on, after that you can get nerdy and examine the map more closely. It's even possible to extract the individual images from this gif and make a still series of it. --Cart (talk) 10:31, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the slower one works better. I'm still considering opposing, though, since I also think it should be bigger; the ideal use of this file (IMO) is on a powerpoint presentation on a big screen in front of a crowd, and for big projector screens, the current size is not ideal. Btw.: having the individual images available for separate viewing, as in an album, would be useful, so there could be a link to that in the files.--Peulle (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since it is a gif you always have to factor in the number of images when it comes to size. This consists of 79 images and that is about as big as the system can handle, so a bigger image is not possible. See above for how to calculate the size of a gif. This is the equivalent of a 72.8 Mpx image.

  • At my computer the fast version is not so good, too, because my internet is to slow. But after you wait the gif has run one time, you see the gif with the true speed. You also could see on a smaller version, than the original version (with the descripted problem). In my view. The fast version, because, you see the weather changes (5 years) and see also the climate changes (>30 years), where the focus is on. So it shows very good, that weather isn't climate. The slow version doesn't discribe this so good, I think. Habitator terrae (talk) 11:26, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Illustrates well why this 30-year-old image format should not be used in this millennium. We can now stream video, adapt the quality to the bandwidth, speed it up or slow it down in real time, pause it, and whizz forward and backward at will. This is eye-candy, visually intrusive, CPU hogging, bloated and I get the point on the very first pass so why loop? I can't see how anyone would enjoy reading and pay attention to an article on this serious topic with this flickering away in the corner of your screen. Also, what's with the filename? An "anomaly" is a [singular] deviation from standard, not a trend upwards. -- Colin (talk) 11:22, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The heart isn't quite so distracting with colour flicker as this. But even so, a video format would have been better. If WMF have problems with playing videos then they should invest in making a better player. I don't have any problems playing youtube videos. And with modern video editing suites it would be trivial to produce a 4K, HD, SD, etc version. --Colin (talk) 13:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ikan Kekek, this is only how many degrees up or down the temperature has fluctuated, not the actual temperature. K and C have the same steps unlike F. So whether it is written as 1K up or 1C, doesn't matter, it's the same. --Cart (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
and K is in the SI. Habitator terrae (talk) 16:12, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I know that degrees Kelvin and Celsius are the same size, but in the English description of the Fahrenheit version, it states: "The scale shows a temperature change of ±4 F° or ±2.2 C°." This makes things clear, should be in German, too, and should be included in the description for this version, too (though it can be restricted to mentioning variation of degrees Kelvin). I'll provisionally  Support, but I think everyone can see how I was confused. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:10, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok, while your enthusiasm for your image is commendable, please know that with each change and alternative, voter's interest in the nomination will fade. Most voters don't revisit a nom once they have cast their vote. You are new on this forum and on a bit of a learning curve, but ideally, this should not be a media lab and nominations should be as ready as they can be when posted here. Think about that in the future. --Cart (talk) 13:39, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Wonderful. I can look at this in 4K and it is smooth like a lava lamp and inevitably moves towards hot. This is something that could easily be incorporated into a TV documentary or current affairs programme, and the individual frames are good enough to be used in a magazine. Exactly what FP should aim for. -- Colin (talk) 16:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Habitator terrae, I still think (after the nomination closes) the filename(s) should be changed. NASA's title is "Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2017" which would be a much better title, though their claim that the baseline of "1951 to 1980" is "normal" and so the red, yellow and blue represent "anomalies" is strange language -- they are deviations from an arbitrary baseline but hardly unexpected or irregular. Still, picking NASA's title is better than this one. -- Colin (talk) 12:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin and Habitator terrae: "temperature anomaly relative to $reference_period" is exactly how climatologists call this kind of thing. So yes, that's how the file should be named, imho. The reference period doesn't really matter, as temperature during the reference period just serves as a baseline; this is never meant to imply that the average temperature from 1951 to 1980 would be somehow normal or natural, it's just one way of looking at things. --El Grafo (talk) 07:47, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
El Grafo, the thing is it isn't an "anomaly" but "Global Temperature Anomalies from 1880 to 2017", which should be the filename. It is quite misleading to use the singular (and echo's Trump's recent claim that "it'll change back" as though this is all just a blip). As for "normal", see the NASA article, which repeatedly (and IMO incorrectly) keeps referring to "Higher than normal" and "Lower than normal", rather than the correct neutral term "baseline". At least the Commons file description doesn't make that mistake. -- Colin (talk) 10:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Twin sisters wearing their school uniform in the countryside of Don Som (Si Phan Don), Laos
@Colin: To be fair to Basile here that image from The Shining is itself based on a famous Diane Arbus photograph that has a lot of similarities to this. Daniel Case (talk) 17:47, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure what your point is here other than sour grapes. The first image is of the most notable human rights activist living in the UK, not two random children. The middle image I opposed but clearly has novelty value. The third is yours, is an environmental photo including an interesting shop, and only just reached 7 votes, so hardly a strong support. Perhaps you could explain why you think this among our finest images on Commons and has wow? Any parent has photos like this, taken with no skill or artistic flair -- it is a very ordinary photo. -- Colin (talk) 09:00, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably because exotic people => unusual for most Europeans => more interesting? I oppose this kind of view (for me it sometimes looks like "watching common people as if they were animals in a zoo"), but what most users demand here gets promoted as FP. --A.Savin 12:49, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think I may have reacted differently from other people because, until I noticed the dirt on their shirts, I saw myself in the picture. Though my school uniform (short-sleeved button-down white shirt, blue shorts, socks and sneakers) was clean, the scene otherwise could have easily been of me going to or from school in Malaysia in 1975. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I 100% agree with A.Savin, I see a lot of westerners in Mexico wanting to take pictures of indigenous people really encroaching in their space as if they were indeed monkeys in a zoo. The response? A dollar a picture. Photographs of disasters, poverty and adverse social conditions geared for the upscale viewers are very attractive and I think a lot of their appeal is precisely because of the fact that upscale people rarely wander into that world which is otherwise common for the majority of the population. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, he should have gone to Vientiane to find some affluent Laotian twin girls to photograph, wearing the heighth of fashion to their exclusive private school? Should Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans not have photographed their subjects either, so as to avoid stereotyping?

You see the dirt on their shirts, and while I do too, I see in their faces the determination to overcome an environment where they attend school in those dirty shirts that overwhelms that. Daniel Case (talk) 18:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Come on Daniel Case, while Basile is a decent photographer, he is by faaaaaaaaar anything close to Diane Arbus, and the comparisons to Dorothea Lange is extremely poor. Dorothea Lange documented with an incredible depth and sensibility the plight of people affected by an economic disaster and her work is not encapsulated in any given photograph. Her work is understood within the context of the times. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:18, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose This photo just doesn't wow me. The girls look rather uncomfortable being photographed. Regardless of race, location or social standing, many twins are struggling to be regarded as individuals and not as "the twins", especially growing up. We don't know if that is the case here, sure they stick together and support each other just like any two sisters do, but I would guess they might be a bit tired of people gawking at them just because they look the same. --Cart (talk) 19:01, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Common seal (Phoca vitulina), Argyll, Scotland

  •  Comment It is a random image downloaded from a free-photos site with a max download size at 2652 x 1832 px, if you don't have access to the original raw file, it is quite meaningless to upsize the jpeg and try to make it sharper. You simply do not have the image file information needed for this and make it FP. --Cart (talk) 08:35, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why it should be delisted...!?! what is this comment? it's a very decent photo. Christian Ferrer (talk) 20:39, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For technical reasons. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:43, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
IMO if you are not an experimented photographer yourself, then you should be careful when you listen the "pseudo-specialist", especially those who those who have easy criticism, they are usually the same who are much more inclined to criticize photos of others than to their own photography, and nothing is less sure that they are able to do better... Christian Ferrer (talk) 04:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's objectively a lot smaller than most of the photos we are voting to feature at this point, right? But do note that I voted to support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I'm surely not saying I could do better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just for your info, this size is absolutely not a small size in regard to that camera. See [9]. And almost all the opposers, are not really able to do better with their bigger camera, otherwise I wonder where are their so good nomination(s) of long exposure photography. Regards, Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:14, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As one of the opposers, I add a comment. I do not submit long-exposure shots and it's not my area of expertise, but I feel I am able to make a technical appraisal of image technical quality. I suspect that many of the appraisals of my macro lens photos are done by talented photographers/photo enthusiasts who have never taken macro photos of frisky insects at ground level. But they can judge the results, having looked at many similar FP nominations. Charles (talk) 10:40, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pink double cherry blossoms
  • I knew you would say that. :-) In that case, one of the other photos in this series would be better (perhaps this), but I wanted to try something that was between the traditional close-up of flowers and whole tree. Also, I like the layered look the large aperture gives you in this, with the big clusters in the foreground and smaller dots in the background so I chose that setting. --Cart (talk) 03:12, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I prefer not to have all flowers in focus. Depth of field is the way of telling the viewer what to pay attention to. I see the big clusters of flowers in the foreground as the main subject of the picture. And the chosen aperture does this very well. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:00, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gallotia galloti insulanagae Martin, 1985, Western Canaries lizard; East of Chinamada, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
  •  Comment You are right, for first I planned the photo with a pink bottom and a yellow background, especially for the nomination as FP, so that the lizard stands well out from the background ;-) --Llez (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the lizard camouflage is probably the most interesting here: it has yellow spots to match the lichen on the rock. The moult process can also be seen. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Perfect for VI, and most of my lizard shots are like this, but FP needs something that displays the reptile better: blurred background, natural habitat, mouth open, head up, tongue showing, eating etc. Charles (talk) 08:04, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When I can, I try not to see the author of the image because that predisposes me positively or negatively to the photo, if I had known it was Charles, I would never have doubted him. All this said, After having made a search and seen your video, I realized my mistake. It is as if someone had placed a head of a small cow, perhaps a genetic modification of the same nature. --Photographer 00:32, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, I can confirm that this particular species of antelope does indeed have a small head. It may look like it's fake but it is in reality a strangeness of nature. Take a look at other images of the species and you will see that it's true.--Peulle (talk) 07:53, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Three-colour composite mosaic image of the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16, or NGC 6611), based on images obtained with the Wide-Field Imager camera on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory. At the centre, the so-called “Pillars of Creation” can be seen. This wide-field image shows not only the central pillars, but also several others in the same star-forming region, as well as a huge number of stars in front of, in, or behind the Eagle Nebula. The cluster of bright stars to the upper right is NGC 6611, home to the massive and hot stars that illuminate the pillars. The “Spire” — another large pillar — is in the middle left of the image. This image is a composite of 3 filters in the visible range: B (blue), V (green) and R (red)."
  • Ikan Kekek I think that you're being a bit too negative. If the previous nom was generally opposed or only had 2 people in favor then I would agree that re-nominating an image shortly after a previous unsuccessful nomination might not be very likely to lead to the image passing, but that's not the case here. --Pine 05:34, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd really prefer for you to nominate something else. Even though I previously supported this nomination, I noted problems with the photo. There are other photos that have never been nominated, and I just disagree with the idea of continually renominating photos until they get approved. There is sometimes a reason to renominate, but surely not 3 days later. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:31, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't agree with such a quick renomination. Wait a couple of months and hope for different voters. Charles (talk) 10:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose As I understand it, quick re-nominations are ok if the image is significantly altered from the previous nom, not just to nag the present FPC community to vote for it. In half a year, the then voters may come to a different conclusion. --Cart (talk) 10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Strong oppose Allowing such a quick renomination would be tantamount to ruining FPC, as all nominators who had their nominations fail could immediately renominate their image multiple times. Frankly, I find it shows a lack of respect of the voting process. Perhaps we should discuss a rule change: that an image can only be nominated once a year or something.--Peulle (talk) 11:30, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination I disagree with the opposes above because the previous nomination recieved 5 support votes and no opposes, but I am in the minority. I have started a discussion at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates#Minimum time before a renomination in which I invite Ikan Kekek, Charles, Peulle to participate. --Pine 20:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will probably cast my vote on this, but since you've been away from FPC a while you may not know that we've just been through the wringer of one of the biggest scandals this year here (see FPC talk page), so it's understandable if some users like me are a little weary of debates right now. --Cart (talk) 21:04, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sky is less noisy, less grainy in the edited version. Clearly noticeable in the orange areas. Make sure your display graphic processor doesn't apply any auto smoothing. Images are identical elsewhere. Bammesk (talk) 01:54, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep My display is excellent and I'm not saying both images are exactly the same, just the difference is so insignificant it doesn't justify a delist and replace in my opinion. There's also still some noise in the new version. This picture has been promoted just last month, so ok to keep it as it is for me -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Result: 4 delist, 1 keep, 0 neutral => not delisted. Cart (talk) 13:15, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
@Colin: You're right, that was how I meant to say it. As I suggested in the nomination above, it would probably be best to start again from scratch if the uploader wanted to do that. Daniel Case (talk) 17:38, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
S. DÉNIEL it isn't the colour that is relevant but the fact that the ink creates a high contrast edge much like vector images or text does. JPG is designed for photographic or painted works where there is not much high contrast lines and edges. The compression algorithm simply can't handle the abrupt transition from dark to light, and you get little gnats flying around the edges. PNG on the other hand has no problem with this, but doesn't compress so well. Additionally, for restoration work, you need a lossless save/load cycle, so our best restorationists here always use TIFF or PNG. -- Colin (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Doing tif or png from an already compressed jpeg does not make sense. --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 10:09, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Although pen-and-ink, the original had tones created by the edges of the lines and the crossed lines, which are a lost when the contrast has been boosted to pure black. I also dislike removing the colour of the paper, which would never have been pure white. Also, at the bottom of the original (now cropped off) is the text "engraving by an anonymous engraver at the end of the seventeenth century" which would seem to disagree with the authorship claimed here. -- Colin (talk) 07:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No it is not about pen-and-ink but an engraving. It is not a drawing by hand but printing. That's why the image is very contrasted. That's why there are lines to make heaven (as Peulle said). Engraving + Printing = Full and Hollow = Black or White There are no gradients.
The editing is made to find this initial state: a white paper and black lines (engraving). I voluntarily remove the text from the bottom : it is a recent addition and it is wrong. It comes from the donor, the leclerc foundation. The Leclerc family owns supermarkets: www.fonds-culturel-leclerc.fr They are very rich but have no historical expertise.
If you had look at the source I give it all this information : Type document: PRINT - Reproduced type: ESTAMPE - Origin of the document: Private collection Edouard Leclerc - Observations: Burin engraving by an anonymous engraver late eighteenth century.
The engraver is often anonymous (except for the best ones). Generally he is not the author of the drawing but the one who reproduces it for printing. Antoine Aveline was also an engraver but that does not mean that he made this engraving himself : - https://books.google.fr/books?id=x5VUAAAAYAAJ&dq=Antoine%20Aveline%20BREST&hl=fr&pg=PA1703#v=onepage&q=Antoine%20Aveline%20BREST&f=false - https://books.google.fr/books?id=L3j_v48zL7MC&dq=Antoine%20Aveline%20BREST&hl=fr&pg=PP338#v=onepage&q=Antoine%20Aveline%20BREST&f=false - you see in these two links that the artist was a designer, engraver and he is coming to Brest.
To find the author : Primary reference : le Manuscrit "Description historique, topographique et naturelle de l'ancienne Armorique" de Christophe-Paul de Robien (1698-1756) - Secondary reference : http://www.bretania.bzh/EXPLOITATION/Default/doc/OAI_7/TABLETTE_3091
It would be more correct to ask for information before accusing.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 19:26, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but that is not entirely correct. Old inks used in prints were never totally black, that is a later invention. That is why you see faint shifts in color in the "black" lines. Also the papers were not of the dense, compact qualities we get today, but more porous (and never as white as this) so the ink leaked out a bit from the black areas. I'm sure an 18th century printer would be ecstatic if s(he) saw this image, because this is what they were striving for but could never do. --Cart (talk) 19:40, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ok cart, mais j'ai répondu a quelqu'un qui a cru que c'était un dessin à la plume et à l'encre. C'est surtout l'usure de la plaque qui finissait par rendre imprécis les lignes. Une première impression pouvait atteindre une très grande finesse. Cela dit j'ai mis les deux versions et il suffit de comparer les deux pour voir que ma retouche ne retire rien. Regarde toi-même les deux images, l'une a coté de l'autre et jugera par toi-même. N’oublions pas que ce qu’on appelle original n’est qu’un scan --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 20:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
S. DÉNIEL, you are right I wasn't paying enough attention and it is in fact an engraving. But as Cart says, the effect of real ink on real paper creates at the fibre level shades and tones. When you increase the contrast as much as this, the square pixels become the edges, and it looks rough. -- Colin (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict) Je comprends votre point de vue, M Déniel, mais chacun à son goût. Désolé. --Cart (talk) 20:34, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pas de problème, chacun a ses propres goûts. Cela dit, si on regarde la photo de l’indien ci-dessous. On demande à ce qu’elle soit restaurée et il y a peu de votant. Idem sur le carte ci dessus. Comment faire passer un document ancien en FP si la moitié des votants veulent une restauration et l’autre moitié n’en veut pas? --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 07:24, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Les restaurations sont acceptables, mais elles doivent être effectuées avec soin et avec beaucoup de sensibilité. Une restauration consiste à conserver l'objet, pas à l'améliorer ni à le moderniser. --Cart (talk) 08:09, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Map by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin
 Support--Peulle (talk) 08:10, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Typical of nautical maps. Not much information on the land, only remarkable reliefs. Anchors to indicate refuge places for boat when there is storm. the small crosses indicate the reefs and the point seedling the sandbanks. The text is interresting. If the cartographer is French the cartridge is in German and the denominations are in different languages. The card is a little bit yellow but his interest is enough to name it.--S. DÉNIEL (talk) 20:19, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
     Info Yes, despite the fact that this map looks simple on first shight, it gave very useful information to the past users, as you very well spotted! I never thought of the French Bellin writing the cartuche in German. Possibly because it was published in Germany (Nuremberg).
     Info For your works you will find a map of the same author and the same region but in French: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b59623125/f1.itemvorg --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 16:10, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pretty good scan as is and I think you can change it in Photoshop. But, I suppose, if you want to make sure it's really good you could rescan it as a .PNG. Daniel Case (talk) 06:26, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum: per Colin's comment in the nomination below, it would probably make a better .PNG if it was in that format from the beginning. Daniel Case (talk) 17:39, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interior of the National Gallery Singapore
  • It was Friday evening, and Friday is the only day of the week when the Gallery closes later. But it seems to me that this place is never crowded (contrary to other touristic sites of Singapore) because even in the early afternoon the exposition rooms were quite desert. I would have cloned out some people otherwise, but luckily here it has not been necessary -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:26, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrack and jellyfish at Govik beach
  • Species-wise, you are right, but that was not the primary intention here. I went for pure composition and in such case the perfect round shape of the jellyfish complements the wrack better. There was a small purple starfish about as well ( can be seen top left in this photo) but it refused to be in frame at the same time as the jellyfish. :) For me there is an additional wow that the water so clear, it is possible to shoot these things in their natural habitat and not just in an aquarium. --Cart (talk) 10:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
