Plasma Lamp
Why did you do that? There were only supports for the original version. norro 23:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I was being bold. Do you think one should refrain from improving a picture when it is a featured picture candidate? How about once it becomes a featured picture? Dbenbenn 13:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly prefer the original version (which I voted for). --Avatar 00:38, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think, it's better to upload a second version, if the picture is a candidate. Improving is always a matter of taste. Kind regards, norro 09:42, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted the cropping. Yann 11:38, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think the use in w:Plasma lamp was improved by having a wide black border? Oh well; I uploaded the cropped version as Image:Plasma-lamp 2.jpg Dbenbenn 15:32, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I think, that's the better way. Kind regards, norro 16:09, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Arctic Fox in Summer
I just adjusted the darkness in the direction suggested by Quasipalm. My version is not as bright as the suggestion and I also did not cropped the image because I wanted to leave some space to look at for the fox. Please tell me whether you like this change or if I should change more in the "Quasipalm"-direction. Andreas Tille 20:16, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
One more change: On a secon thought I agree with Quasipalm about the cropping. I now cropped the original PNG at the exact same place as Quasipalm and left my imporeesion of the lightning (it was a cloudy day and thus I regard this version as realistic). Please update your browser cache. Andreas Tille 13:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for your engagement. I'm sitting now behind my laptop which has a more flat display and I see what you mean. The colors seemed natural to me on my CRT desktop screen. I think I should try to adjust the colors from the original PNG file to reduce compression loss. I'll do this today evening. Andreas Tille 09:24, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    The CRT can not handle fine vertical lines like the hairs on the fox. Try this test image on your monitors.

Short description

I also agree with you :) A cropped upper part of a head is nothing unusual...a often used composition element. Normally I don't like centered main objects but here it really fits. It somehow represents to me "Look! This is how it is here." --AngMoKio 20:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're entitled to your opinion (and I opposed this picture as well), but Commons is not Wikipedia's slave. It stands on its own merits. Dori - Talk 01:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very true, Dori. If a picture is suitable for wikipedia article shouldn't be a reason here. Harris Morgan: Please read General Rules before voting: "This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.". Furthermore if you check the usage of this picture you will see that it is used in wikipedias. --AngMoKio 08:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • You don't like the white background, but its good enough for the credit card photo media:Credit-cards.jpg you supported? ADSR6581 13:56, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I know I'm not beeing very consistant :-( Commenting photos I guess is very subjective and english is not my first language so I apologize if my comments sometimes sounds a bit rough. In this case its hard to explain why I opposed this pic and supported the pic of the creditcards - I think it has something to do with mixing styles. The old keyboard looks a bit funny in my eyes with the shining white modern looking background. I hope this explanation makes just a little sense - I'm not commenting the photos with the goal to annoy anyone or hurt anyones feelings. Regards Malene Thyssen 19:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I understand what you are saying, but opposing just because of a white background is tenuous at best. What colour should it be? All the pictures of objects (old computers mainly) I take have white backgrounds. This is so it can be used without a thumbnail box around it. For example: [2] I also do it because it makes the picture look more professional. If I had left the original background, it wouldn't have even got nominated... If you had a technical problem with the picture, then fair enough, but because it has a white background... Seems a little unreasonable to me. ADSR6581 20:07, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • I understand that taking photos of computerparts must be a challenge - I know I wouldn't be as succesfull as you in that matter! And in most cases I agree with you about the white backgound. This photo is not bad, it's just not exceptionally good in my eyes (and I think features pictures should be that). But maybee I have misunderstood the requirements to featured pictures candidates and judge too hard? Regards Malene Thyssen 20:50, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I think the parameters of what is a good picture needs to be discussed in some depth, but that should be saved for the discussion page. In relation to my picture, I know it isn't the best. It was the best I could do without a digital SLR camera. Personally, I feel you have a been a bit hard, but I'm sure people have thought that about some of my votes too. :-) ADSR6581 21:08, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I guess it's always difficult to accept when other people judge ones artistic work - especially when the judgement is a bit harsh (I know that from own experience ;-). I'll try to be not quite so meticulous in the future :-) Regards Malene Thyssen 22:09, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you want detail, fine. It's a very boring, uninteresting subject. The focus is out, the lighting isn't strong enough, and whilest I appreciate it is a difficult thing to take a good picture of, it is just not FP worthy as is. I also think for something of this colour, a plain background possibly isn't the best option. --Erin (talk) 18:05, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • The people that should think twice before voting are the people who oppose saying nothing. Art means everything: composition, colours, placement of the object, etc. It is a very valid argument that you should respect. Plus, artful is a picture that you want to look twice, and get to see more, this you see once, and you don't want to see it again, because it is nothing special, that is, it isn't art. -PedroPVZ 01:13, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
