  •  Oppose I completely concur with AM. Arjun 21:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support This is a fine image, looks like a scene from the future but yet it's a picture from the present. Underexposing the image allows the attention to be drawn to the train, and the surrounding lights create a very moody atmosphere. What I don't like (but I still vote for the image) is the quality of the image, which is very poor: very noisy and with lots of compression artefacts. Ecomuseum, try doing some more post-processing (some Photoshopping), you can definitely improove the image quality. --Andy 11:56, 01 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Here is a slightly edited version, which in my opinion improves the overall quality of the image. It's less noisy, and looks more futuristic. I've done an edge-preserving blur, and then several soft blurs for the lights to make them look anti-aliased (original image is very sharp). I know voting finished, but I like this image and I felt it deserved some post-processing. -- User:Atoma 12:28, 03 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I love this picture!! I think it would be a great picture of the day. Also, I don't really see a difference between the 2 pictures... 12.227.160.225 14:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brooklyn Bridge

Burning white spots, boring subject, somewhat grainy.

 Info I always view constructive criticism as a good thing ; something I can learn from but statements like "brännande vita fläckar"? from User:AzaToth tell me nothing ; same goes for Ansett,oposing without explanation to me equals to vandalism!! Martin with sharpness I can't do anything. I used wide angle lens for this shot and I did focus on the bridge (everything should be in focus from few feet to infinity) but since the bridge is 200-300 m (yrds) away it's natural that the foreground (2m away) will look much sharper.Light from the bridge traveling through 300m of air will get refracted along the way.(more humidity= more refraction)That's the reason you can never get a perfectly sharp photo of a distant landscape. This entry was from User:Lacos3, at 03:31 29 December 2006. - Alvesgaspar 11:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC) [reply]

  •  Oppose. Dear Lacos3, a bit of constructive criticism to please you. There is no obligation to justify our votes on the guidelines, the only obligation is to "be polite" - hence Ansett's vote validity (although i find him too negative in his systematic opposition and would support Alvesgaspar's proposal but that is altogether an other story). Sharpness is achievable as opposed to what you think, it has been acheived on many night panoramas (some featured) - try harder! Your image is tilted, a detail which escaped the scrutiny of the previous viewers. The rocks in the foreground are really disturbing and I would advise some cropping. I would also object, taking into account that the subject is the bridge that you have too much of a rather boring skyline on the right and leaving out the left part of your main (uncomplete) subject. How unfortunate! Diligent 18:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Lacos3 This kind of criticism is really helpful to me.Thank you Diligent!!!)

(Lacos3being new to dslr ;Gentlemen I would like to thank you all for your time and precious advice ; Greatly appreciated.

  • there are problems in how it is shown on the image page. this comes from the size in wich the image is hown. remember this is an svg. so those problems disapear when changing the size. -LadyofHats 15:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Some labels are in English others are in Latin. Some are captalized, most are not. Why? Could you fix this first please? (e.g. Supra-orbital foramen vs. foramen mentale). Thanks Lycaon 16:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral The orientation of the line segments, as well as the position of the labels, seem pretty random and spoil the illustration. For instance, the segments should be horizontal or 45º oriented whenever possible. Also, there should be some general indication (a label?) on the contents of the three different figures. Support an improved version if the author, or someone else, takes care of that. Alvesgaspar 11:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I updated a version with more straight lines. Still the position of the labels responds to the lines. it was the only way i found to have 3 lists and no crossing lines. if i force all the lines to be horizontal and or 45° then i would need far much more space for the labels. and since what they point is sometimes so small, then the image would not be able to be seen in one view. for the labels, i was told often before that images on wikipedia should contain no titles, and even then i do not know wichones would be the right titles. the first is clear that they are the bones. the second are the "lines" fosas and fisuras, but the third? "others??" . i do not know, the books i used as reference mention nothing about it. they just say in every diagram "front view of a skull" wich titles you would like?. -LadyofHats 12:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  •  Info and  Support  Neutral I edited slightly the illustration in order to improve the labelling. If you prefer, just substitute the original image with this one. Alvesgaspar 14:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Listen i do not mind corrections to my images, i truly dont. but please if you correct it upload it over the old version. you go to the image page and on the bottom of the page. there where it says file history there is a link that is called "Upload a new version of this file".this time you even changed the copyright status and authorship from the image. i know you mean no harm. but i would find it far more easy if you would just respect my wishes.--LadyofHats 20:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would never modify someone's original image, that's not the way things are done here. Making a new version is the correct procedure because we don't want to run the risk to go against the author's wishes. I'll repeat what I have written above:If you prefer, just substitute the original image with this one. Please understand that it is not my intention to benefit from your work, that should be obvious if you took some time to observe what's going on before starting protesting. I'll not put back here the edited version you asked for deletion (that should be done by yourself), although what you did is hardly acceptable by our behaviour standards. Alvesgaspar 21:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Split into 3 images, remove all descriptions, use numbers instead, make proper margins (2px around image is enought for anti-alias) and then you have my support vote. --WarX 21:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - ditto to WarX. Text is too small to read in current thumbnail. The text (if used in the image) should be large enough to read in the thumbnail on the wiki page so it can be seen in context together with the rest of the article. - MPF 23:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree, there is too much information to make all 3 images readable when positioned next to each other like this. The label text gets too small. /Daniel78 23:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually you're wrong about the water. It looks basically the same as it did in person and basically the same during the day with a fast exposure - almost completely flat, with minor ripples from the wind. How can you know what is 'natural looking' if you weren't there? Any blurriness is likely caused by the foreground being out of the plane of focus. This is not unnatural. This is the laws of physics. Anyway, it is rather a petty quibble in the first place really but you're entitled to your opinion. Diliff 21:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I uploaded a cropped version you can see on the right. I cropped it really radically, even one leg of the spider is cropped. But the resolution is still high enough and I did that to emphasise the weird kinda third-person shooter perspective which makes it a featured picture in my opinion (the cropped version). norro 21:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for the new version and comment. So far i didnt see that photo this way. The main thing i like abt the composition of the original version is the line from the lower left corner to the upper right corner and the placement of the spider. It seems as if the spider is approaching sth silently behind the leaf. I'd be happy abt further comments from others...--AngMoKio 19:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is: Resolution - graphics located on Commons may be used in ways other than viewing on a conventional computer screen. They may be also used for printing or for viewing on very high resolution monitors. We can't predict what devices may be used in the future, so it is important that pictures being nominated have as high a resolution as possible. At least 2 million pixels (e.g. 2000 x 1000) seems reasonable right now. Images of lower resolution are typically rejected unless there are strong mitigating reasons. -- Simonizer 15:36, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the bottom of a Motorola XC68020 (prototype of MC68020) processor. I wanted to illustrate the pin grid array, and I was happy at the result. This photo has not been touched up. However, I'm unsure whether the "featured pictures" include that kind of technical documentary pictures. David.Monniaux 08:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind if I reduced the picture from 5 MP to 2 MP and applied a sharpen filter? Then it would be sharp enough. David.Monniaux 14:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support This is one of my favorite pictures that I have uploaded to Commons and I wanted to see what others thought. Thanks, --Ruhrfisch 18:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral - nice pic, but the exposure is too slow to show the water well, with too much motion blur. From what I've read, an exposure of about 1/50 second matches human eye perception of motion best. - MPF 23:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Thanks for the comments (above and below) and the edit. This was a hand help shot with no tripod at 1/15 second, so I was pleasantly surprised it was as sharp as it is. I have a much better and older SLR film camera and a tripod, so I can try to get a similar photo again in the coming summer. However, I am getting conflicting advice: shorter exposure time here, longer time below. Maybe I'll try both and see what works better ;-) Thanks again, Ruhrfisch 00:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  •  Comment Some light PP would be necessary to increase IQ: cropping, auto-levels & unsharpen mask, as shown in the image on the right. Nice shot, I would have liked it better if the exposure time was even bigger, so that the water gives more the 'flowing' impression. Close-down aperture and exposure time will go up -- but well, on the Canon A400 you cannot control the aperture, so there was nothing you could do. Maybe it's time to move-up to a better camera which meets your needs. --Atoma 11:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Some more saturation would be nice. --Wj32 06:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice composition but poor image quality. The leaves, one of the subjects of the photo, are blurred (probably due to motion and also for being unfocused). Looking at the exposure numbers we realize it should be quite dark in that place. Alvesgaspar 09:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
