MittagjochHochjochSchwarzsee1

  • Nomination fresh snow of Hochjoch Schruns.--Böhringer 13:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support Good composition, focus looks fine to me. TimVickers 21:20, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Neutral Noise in a sky, a bit soft. What do you think of that version ? (denoised a little, sharpened) Stephanemartin 22:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
The sharpened version has a bit of a halo along the dark parts of the skyline. TimVickers 22:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Ooops ! I can't see the halo though. Could tell me how to look for it so I can remove it ? Stephanemartin 09:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
There are two, one the dark rock outline on the left, close to the camera, and a second halo on the far peaks, just above and to the right of the center of the picture. Maybe you could try masking off the sky and resharpening? TimVickers 16:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
done. Stephanemartin 09:37, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

File:Asaro Mud Man Kabiufa PNG.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination A mudman from Asaro with his unique clay mask. by JialiangGao --Mbdortmund 19:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Excellent, striking composition. IMHO picture would have potential for FP, if face of the man was in focus. As it is out of focus I tend to decline. --Sfu 13:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support I agree with Sfu that it is an excellent composition. However, I just see the man's nose in the front out of focus. The rest of his face appears to be sharp for me. Hence, I plead to accept this image as a QI. --AFBorchert 07:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
     Comment Not only nose but forehead, moustache, part of cheeks and I think eyes are out of DOF. What's more there are compresion artifacts. --Sfu 10:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Agree with Sfu. Lycaon 13:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Sorry, I agree with Sfu. This is an absolutely amazing eye-catcher! But the strong compression made too many artifacts. Upload it again with a better quality and I will nominate it for FP. - Man's face out of focus doesn't matter in this composition. --Ukuthenga (talk) 19:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

 Neutral great composition, but noisy/artefacts and slightly OOF. With some de-noising would support for FP. Ianare 20:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Parnassia palustris at the Simplon Pass, Wallis, Switzerland. — Lycaon 22:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support good detail, nice composition --Foroa 17:13, 22 August 2008 (UTC)<
  •  Oppose Over-exposed. -- carol 08:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment The brightest parts are two (2) pixels with an RGB(254,255,255) in a picture of 12,166,656 pixels!! And that on sunlit bright white flower. Those two pixels, BTW are on the shiny, nectariferous staminodia. Then where is the over-exposure? Lycaon 12:45, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Question Would the suggestion that it might be time to hand that new camera over to your wife (the assumption being better eyesight) be crossing the line? -- carol (talk) 16:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Might I suggest you use your husband's new flatscreen then ;-)? Lycaon 18:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Had I stated here that I needed to ask my spouse permission to purchase anything new, I feel it would be a completely legitimate suggestion. Since this flatscreen I have is one of the few new things I have owned (the new Pentax SLR body and 55mm lens in 1986 was stolen) I have two thoughts -- 1)this image is over exposed and 2)I do not want your old camera via a secondhand purchase. If that was your canon AE-1 I got, it was great -- thanks. -- carol (talk) 05:15, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  CommentYou have a very strange perception of how a photograph should be exposed. It's definitely not overexposed if there were only some blowned out parts. It's the harsh lighting I'm not happy with. --LC-de 07:44, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I very well might have used the wrong word to describe what I saw, but the precise information about only 2 pixels being white was completely wrong both in language and numerically!! -- carol (talk) 19:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I understand conditions were not ideal for this type of flower, but tips of left-side petals are overexposed. Perhaps try again on a cloudy day, or with sun at zenith ? Ianare 20:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Sure it is only just under a 1,000 km, and they flower just a couple of weeks each year. Maybe in 2031 again? Kidding apart, I can't redo them, with any weather and they are not overexposed. How can a bright pure white flower be overexposed/blown when all structure is preserved and the RGB values are < 255,255,255. ??? Lycaon 18:23, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Just clouds --B.navez 19:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  OpposeLooks under-exposed to me, parts of these clouds should be white. Looking at the histogram, all the tones are clustered in the centre. TimVickers 04:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Can't let say so. As you can see on this other picture of the same series the picture was taken not from a plane but from a mountain in afternoon on the eastern slopes, opposite of the sun position. That means mass of the island makes some shadow and surface of the clouds is not overexposed, giving these visible nuances. For a monotone and mainly white picture, clustered tones is logical and valuable. Exploded histogram is not a QI requirement. --B.navez 16:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support good stitching, good details --Mbdortmund 01:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Dust spot. -- carol 09:11, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Can you tell me where you see this spot? Is it enough reason not to nominate this picture as a quality image? -- Ukuthenga 20:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
While looking for the dust spot, I saw a seam which was not that smooth (I could see a soft line while moving the panorama horizonally) and I saw a seam error which really should be repaired. Dust spot in the green box, soft seam line in yellow box, seam error in the red box. The seam error should be repaired, the dust spot should be also, in my opinion (I am not the only person who can see those, btw) and the blend error is not that big of a deal to me but consideration could be given to repairing it. That is the answer to your first question from what my eyes can see in this image; there are often others who participate here who can find more blending problems and stitching errors. Your second question, it can be voted in to the QI collection without my support. I cannot guarrantee that there are no images in that collection with dust spots. You (or someone else) took a lot of time to make a beautiful seamed image and a little more time with it will take it that much more closely to perfection. So, the answer to your second question is that it is up to you. -- carol (talk) 09:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support good stitching, good details, good colours. Lycaon 22:48, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for those support votes - so my work is not for the birds (für die Katz in my language). Thanks to Carol for the hint to go through the images with a fine-tooth comb. - I used this image for the Wikipedia site of Schutterwald and it's in the category 'Ortenau' to illustrate this countryside I'm living in. - Ukuthenga 19:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
ok, Großes Bild template makes it easy. --B.navez 02:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
If it makes any difference to you at all, it is a beautiful photograph and mostly excellent stitching and worth fixing and I would support it quicky and without further ado if only the two (the spot and the seam error) things were fixed. -- carol (talk) 19:01, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I would crop it right above the spots, btw. The recommendation of thirds is a good one. Additionally, this image had the sweet smell of gimp-1.2 touch to it, an odor which might have been artificially applied, but even when artifically recreated it is still a beautiful smell.... -- carol (talk) 09:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 QuestionDo you like this version better (denoised a little bit, beware your browser cache)? --Eusebius 11:28, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
What happend around the window? Much of detail is lost due to downsampling. --Sfu 13:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Oh gosh, I didn't see that. Something went wrong, clearly. I'll upload another version in a few hours (I'm not on my usual computer with my usual software). Regarding downsampling, I did it to limit the visual effect of noise while staying above the 2MP limit. Maybe I'm just playing with a bias of the QI evaluation criteria and would be happy to discuss that point somewhere else... The honest question would be: is it possible to make a version this picture meet the QI standards, and if not, what is the best way to improve it anyway? --Eusebius 15:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Uploaded new version (still denoised and downsampled but without the window glitches). --Eusebius 17:21, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 Support I think it's good enough now. Although I don't like downsampling. --Sfu 18:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I understand. I could upload the denoised but not downsampled version, but then imperfection would be visible and there would be (justified) oppositions. This is why I said there could be a bias in the evaluation process. --Eusebius 19:01, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 Comment As it is now, it's a nice picture. But you have some big artifacts in the sky (next to the dome at the right) and a small white triangle in the upper left corner. The triangle can easily be removed with Photoshop. The artifacts perhaps also. -- MJJR 21:01, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I doubt this would be the case, B.navez. This photo was taken at a Toronto International Film Festival party held by CTVglobemedia. I requested to send a photographer on behalf of Wikinews, and they managed to squeeze us into the crowded photographer's pit. Thus they explicitly wanted us there, and explicitly wanted to take photos. They would have mentioned, had there been any restrictions on photography. Note that this performance was on a red carpet, surrounded by fans on all sides, so it's unlikely that the exact choreography was the same as he would perform in actual concerts. -- Zanimum 14:53, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
I just said it could. Your explainations seem clear about the free use of the picture. Unhappily the size (much less under 2M px) of it doesn't meet the QI requirements. Sorry cause I wanted to support it and I had not looked at this size's issue first. --B.navez 15:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

    No, I don't prefer the second one over the first, the colours are less interesting and the overexposure, although less distracting, is simply on the other side of the picture (the main reason for my opposition is the overexposure, not the shadow pattern). --Eusebius 15:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

  •  Comment And it's your right to have that opinion. It's a cemetery, so the shadows gives it a surtain mood.

  • Anyone got hugin installed and want to try straightening that tower out? -- carol (talk) 00:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
    •  Oppose Always the same problem with such large buildings : perspective correction makes an improbable vision for it's impossible having a vanishing point for horizontals and none for verticals. Height of the Cathedral seems to be about half of the length, so reduction should be also in the same proportions at the ends, otherwise it's an artificial vision. To make it natural, focal length must be approximatively like human eye's. --B.navez 18:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
      • I agree with you that perspective correction often gives a strange, unnatural impression of a building, I have also uploaded here some over-corrected images, which I would not do any more now. But in this case I think that the correction is ok and rather weak, for comparison I have uploaded this un-corrected image: File:Pisa Duomo 2.jpg (the difference is that the nominated picture was stitched with Hugin using 2x3 images, downsized at 50 %, for higher sharpness, but the time and position is the same).

    •  Comment I agree that the excavator looks better, but the background is then in large part burnt out, and it doesn't look the way it did when I was there. I took this picture in the early morning. See my other pictures from this quarry for reference. If this picture fails because I took it at the wrong time of day, so be it, but I don't think I'll have an opportunity to retake it. --Specious 18:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
True, that was a bit extreme. The picture is nicely composed, but I'm worried it might indeed fail because of the lighting. What about a less radical adjustment? (saved over other edit). TimVickers 18:13, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

B/W, if used in the right situations, often adds to the way a photograph works. It's not right to just oppose b/w in general by saying that it removes information; the use of b/w should detract from the photograph to warrant an oppose. Thegreenj 01:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

A typographig hint: Several question marks are unneccessary. QI to me is good photography with a decent technical quality.

    Well, first impression is that there is no such a difference. You've left some perspective, what often makes pictures look more natural. But on the other side I don't like f.e. titlted windows in bottom left corner. I was wondering about perspective some time ago. During that time I was watching high buildings. Suprisingly I got to idea (observation rather), that although pictures of high buildings with corrected perspective looks somtimes strange, the walls are really straight and perpendicular to each other in my eyes. See this picture of mine as example, walls of the building really seems perpendicular. Maybe this bad impression is beacause of diffren field of view of cameras and eyes. One reason to use really straight perspective is that architects are using it. Every render of projected buildings is painted in tha way. On the other side when picture was taken from the bottom of the building, and corrected version looks really strange, one should use the type perspective correction You are proposing. In conclusion, I think we should have care for the buildings looking natural in our pictures. Falling walls are as strange, as overcorrected pictures. Here, in my impression both versions look natural. --Sfu (talk) 18:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

  •  Comment Can I please for another opinion? --Lestath 18:30, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support Many of us have exaggerated requirements for noise. How can an image of a newer digicam at ISO 80 with correct exposure be too noisy? You could do fullsize prints without remarkable noise. The contrast is very strong (dark parts) but it accents the main subject (castle). --Ikiwaner 20:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
With noise I meant compression. As for the accent, I'm not a fan of it, but that's a personal oppinion. --Massimo Catarinella 11:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
I would expect compression artifacts around the needle on the tower. I see a small halo from unsharp masking but no JPG compression artifacts. The size of the file tells me that it was saved with more than 90% quality which means in Photoshop "maximum quality" ... --Ikiwaner 22:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I like the composition, and I don't think the noise is too bad, but the compression seems to be too much. It is a P&S though...so all in all I can't make up my mind on this one :) --Dori - Talk 00:10, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Shame. Good composition and light but too much CA and not crisp enough for a static object. Lycaon 21:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Dust spot on this one too, sorry to be a stickler but they're so easy to remove that it should be done for QI. P.S. I think you should have gone to f/11 on this one. Dori 03:56, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support A valuable and well composed image. The CA were a no go for me too but it was easily fixable. Sharpness is good given the high resolution. --Ikiwaner 21:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC) Voting for your own edit is not allowed. Having been involved here off and on for more than three or four months, of course you know that.... -- carol (talk) 12:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
I do not agree with the way you count. Because I correct trivial things like CA or a dust spot I loose my right to vote? That's bullshit and not written in our guidelines. I might as well strike your vote because it has nothing to do with the image. --Ikiwaner 10:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion: I suggest that the edits to this image be reverted and if the editor is so inspired, the edit can be reuploaded and entered properly here. The original can be closed as a draw and this farce can be gotten rid of. I am kind of sorry about much of this lately because we ("we" being participants in the QI reviews) have had some really great images and thoughtful reviews here in the past. -- carol 01:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
