Natural limestone arch in Dorset, UK.
  • No; the nom. I mentioned above is at EN which has different review criteria. My comment above is also per my personal POV; not about its quality on aesthetic aspects. There is not a requirement that a reviewer need to be capable to take competitive pictures. But he had a lot of FPs earlier; and this make a Flickr Explore #1 recently. Jee 09:46, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The sea is unnaturally dark and the same with half of the cliff. I haven't been there myself but a quick google search gives me pictures with much better lighting, for example here. Apart from this, a long exposure would certainly add some wow to the photo but now it's just a snapshot. I would expected something more from someone with so "high standards" and extremely critical towards others. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 09:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Please do not make personal attacks. You should refer to comment on the image. It is the best way to bring this section, the most balanced, technically and objectively as possible. I invite you to reflect and stop this negative attitude. On the other hand, from the technical point of view, the example you have shown me a picture much more digitally modified than the current nomination (look the sky and overexposition, for example). I lived on the coast for 30 years and have seen similar colors to this photo. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 12:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tamme-Lauri Oak at Urvaste, oldest oak tree in Estonia
The Estonian contingent has had a disproportionate impact on the results here and on possibly the POTY, but I would be surprised there is any kind of puppetry going on. National pride is not yet a crime. Would hate to be proven wrong though. Saffron Blaze (talk) 01:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.101.124 (talk • contribs)
Hello Mr. Saffron Blaze, I don't belong to Estonia. I just thought that this was a pic worthy of FP status and I just nominated it. I am neither the sockpuppet of the uploader nor biased towards Estonia. I was browsing through the user page of the uploader and found this pic. Nikhil (talk) 13:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Italic text is copied from another page and in not a comment by Saffron Blaze to this nomination. Just wanted to warn Estonians for voting here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.101.124 (talk • contribs)
Well firstly, it is not great style to post unsigned comments from IPs. I think it would be for the better of this project, if we had people from all countries as engaged as the Estonians here. I cannot speak for POTY, but I see not a lot of issues going on FP. If people think that images should not promoted, they have to oppose - simple as that, I do not think that there are enough people from any country here to get FPs through on their own. --DXR (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC) Edit: I was not aware about the ongoing issue at the talk page. However that does not change my opinion since it is a special issue involving two users, not an entire country... --DXR (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, DXR. Whoever is editing from that IP, I think it is not in the interest of Wikimedia Commons to write a reckless comment about bias towards a country without logging in. As I said, I nominated the pic here only when I thought that this would be worthy of being an FP. It had nothing to do with my nationality or that it was a pic from Estonia. One can point out any technical flaws in the nomination without logging in, but please stop making prejudiced comments. Nikhil (talk) 16:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Would anyone be surprised the IP address is from Estonia? That aside, I never said there is arranged country block voting. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I didn't know that. Some of my other FPs are also flipped. I will start to delist them. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 10:50, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

COM:OVERWRITE? --A.Savin 15:25, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is a point; but if FPC community accept it, I see no problem. Anyway better wait till POTY ends. Jee 15:57, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • In this case this is the correct flip and better processed. A delist and replace wold be suitable here. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:53, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It will never happen. --Urmas Haljaste (talk) 18:07, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, any other user can unflip them but can you be sure the images really are flipped? Even if you tried to locate the places you probably would not be able to recognize the views in nature. This shows how absurd the discussion really is. The sequence of trees or stones doesn't matter. It is not a deception. There are no heritage protection object in these pictures. The flip does not change the nature, the atmosphere nor the quality of the site. I don't know about you but I'm not a google street-view photographer and I'm not environmental copyist. Since my work doesn't fit yours standard, I will not contribute anymore. It must be a relief to many of you. Wish you all the best. -- (unsigned)
  •  Oppose If this one is flipped copy of existing FP (just positioned very slightly different) then I'm annoyed the nominator has tried to fool us into promoting two nearly identical pictures at FP. -- Colin (talk) 12:38, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't spot that. Still, having two mirror images will lead to these mistakes. Which is why I also don't support requesting the "original" be uploaded in cases where the flip doesn't matter. -- Colin (talk) 13:12, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This one is different as there is an existing FP of the same image. This should not have been nominated. However, it is my opinion this is a superior edit. Saffron Blaze (talk) 15:49, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I don't know about the satellite image but I have actually been at Suitsu and it seems to me that this one is truthful and the other picture is flipped. But I could be wrong. This one just seems more genuine. I guess satellites never lie. In either case, I don't feel deceived. --Rutake (talk) 09:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nissan Altima at Salton Sea
  •  Info all by me -- Tuxyso (talk) 12:22, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Tuxyso (talk) 12:22, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak Support IMHO, the lighting is excellent and quality is decent but the composition could have been better. I wish the car could have been captured front-on rather than side-on.Nikhil (talk) 13:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Pro: Light works well, nice scenery; Con: 15mm equiv. makes the rear of the car superlong, not sure about the gap between palmtree and car. --DXR (talk) 19:23, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @DXR: I've very corrected stretching very moderately. Keep in mind that the car is quite long :) I like the gap between palmtree and car - it brings some tension into the photo. I've used wide-angle to include as much as possible from the interesting environment and placed the car just under the remarkable cloud. I was a bit in hurry because the outside temperature was 47°C (117°F) :) --Tuxyso (talk) 07:13, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have actually looked up normal images of the car before commenting the first time and stay with my opinion. I see and understand your points, but I just do not really find the overall composition pleasing to my eyes, sorry. But it's just a matter of personal taste of course... --DXR (talk) 09:42, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Has the technical quality and "wow" factor. Deserves to become a featured picture. --DAJF (talk) 02:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • I've used a polfilter. But for this kind of motive I really like it and think it is fortunate :) Nonetheless the sky was very dark blue. Stretching: You have some kind of distortion with such wide-angle shots, I guess that is not changeable anymore. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:08, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Composition just not working here. Shame, because there are the elements of a car commercial here. -- Colin (talk) 17:34, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Colin: What had you done better? Where do you see room for improvements? --Tuxyso (talk) 22:01, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The critic is entitled to comment without being talented enough to do better!! :-). The components are far apart with a hole in the middle. The elements on the left of the tree are distracting. The car overlaps the sea in a way that seems accidental rather than posed. The white sand needs to be an out-of-focus background rather than something so detailed you see the imperfections (such as the weed near the car's tyre). The car is too small and in an undramatic side-view pose. The front of the car is not as well lit as the back. I don't know what your intention is but I guess I'd be looking to create an image that makes one think "Beautiful car in a perfect setting", but where the subject (the car) is dominant and detailed and the setting is more of an impression. -- Colin (talk) 22:34, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Colin, first: Thanks a lot for your circumstantial comment - I really appreciate constructive comments with ideas for improvements. It's a good question what my original intention of the shot was. I am no commercial photographer thus "Beautiful car in a perfect setting" was not my very intention. The location, the Salton Sea, has been a very popular holiday location in the 19th century. Famous stars like Frank Sinatra had their fincas there. But the sea was massively polluted by farming and is now acid. The past splendour of the place is gone, the villages around the sea become more and more ghost village, see e.g. this photo and tourist do not yet go there. Thus my original intention was not perfection. At the first glance the setting implies such perfection (blue sky, nice clours sea, palms, ...) but at the second glance this perfection is undermined: dirt on the sand, the gap between car and palm tree, the massively leaning electricity pylons at the very left. I confess that the composition is improveable if one had moved the car - I just went out (46°C) and tried to compose a photo as good as possible - I was satisfied with the result. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:13, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Very interesting. Well all I can do is repeat my request that folk offer a rationale for this picture like you've done now. Some pictures work simply as straightforward subject shots for WP, say, but others are more complex or have interesting shooting conditions. See Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Stipiturus malachurus - Southwest National Park.jpg for another case where it would be interesting to know the situation and be explicit about the technical challenges. There are feelings about this photo and the landscape that are in your head and didn't translate to the bare picture nom. If it was part of a visual narrative of the area, then it might have worked better (though I'm not sure how this car fits into that story). It would be nice if someone offered such a visual narrative as a FP set, say. Would make a change from assessing sole photographs that are expected to stand alone in judgement. -- Colin (talk) 08:56, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Background information to photographs are interesting, especially in technically challenging cases. Your idea to add narratives to photos is interesting. But I see problems with the language gap. Those people who are more familiar with the English language do have advantages with such nominations. Nonetheless I completely agree that background information to FP noms are valueable and should be added if possible. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:43, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose I mostly agree with Colin's perception. My first impresion here was a car and a palm, none of which are predominant but still tends to be in my eyes a (not featurable executed) commercial shot of a Nissan car. The fact that the surface of the sea is hidden by the car, and the elements on the left are also a minus to me. I would also add the the sharpness is just middle of the road (applies to both, the palm and the car). Summary: strange composition that doesn't work to me and is not overweighted by quality, sorry. Btw, I fully agree on the need of adding a description with the nomination. I have always done it and will always do because it adds value to the nomination and we all want to learn something there. Furthermore if there is no information we could miss something (intention of the photographer, cultural or historical value, etc.). Poco2 11:01, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A Tobu 6050 series EMU 6-car formation led by set 6151 on the Tobu Nikko Line on a sectional rapid service for Asakusa
(1) What's the problem with the downsampling? It's just the decision of the photographer. The minimum requirement is given! Maybe the photographer wants to sell a version of higher resolution and gives us this one. This is his right to do so if he wants.
(2) All important parts of this train are in focus and sharp. For sure neither the tail nor the bottom part is important. So we have perfect focus here.
(3) We can't judge how the lightning situation was in fact. So the ISO 800 may be a good decision. First: for me it does not look like a very shiny day, more like a cloudy one. Second: we have here a moving object and not a fixed. So ISO 800 isn't very wrong to ensure a short exposure time. I don't see an adverse effect of noise in this picture, are you?
(4) I don't see anything strange about this background. Did I miss s.th.? --Wladyslaw (talk) 21:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, offering low-resolution with a CC licence while thinking you one can sell the high-resolution version is no longer wise since CC have warned they may be considered legally the same "work of copyright" and so both under CC. -- Colin (talk) 17:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was just an assumption and is absolutely not relevant why the photographer did resize the original. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:43, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Saint-Émilion and Vineyards
True. I have no corrections profile for this lens but I can do it manually. Would that do it for you? --TigrouMeow (talk) 23:46, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral The distortion originates in the angle of the camera (horizon not centered vertically) and isn't a fault of the lens. So no lens profile would fix it. I personally don't find it too annoying because it's not a strictly architectural shot. However, I do find the composition to be somewhat lacking in wow or a clear structure in the image. There is also some overexposure on the sunlit walls. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 20:13, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To be precise, a flipped image is the same as a horizontal mirror image. May be OK e.g. for certain objects or animals, but never ever for landscapes, cityscapes, buildings,... except of course for special educational purposes which yet isn't the case here. --A.Savin 14:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I assume from these edits ([1], [2], [3]) that Urmas83 is now in a pressure and has a difficulty to understand the points. Urmas83, please read the policies and guidelines, especially COM:SCOPE and COM:IG and discuss on the FPC:Talk if you have any doubts. Note that your contributions are irrevocable and any other user can and create an unflipped image from it as the license you granted allows "to adapt". Please stay calm to constructive criticisms that will be good for you in long time. Jee 02:53, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, any other user can unflip them but can you be sure the images really are flipped? Even if you tried to locate the places you probably would not be able to recognize the views in nature. This shows how absurd the discussion really is. The sequence of trees or stones doesn't matter. It is not a deception. There are no heritage protection object in these pictures. The flip does not change the nature, the atmosphere nor the quality of the site. I don't know about you but I'm not a google street-view photographer and I'm not environmental copyist. Since my work doesn't fit yours standard, I will not contribute anymore. It must be a relief to many of you. Wish you all the best.
    I didn't say any of your images is flipped. I only made a reference of your previous FP, one user asked whether they are flipped and you answered "yes". We have a policy COM:AGF, so we are committed to believe you unless it can be proved otherwise. You can clearly see what I said later. COM:SCOPE demands realistic pictures for architectures and landscapes as they can't be flipped in real life. I am not bothered about animals or objects that can be turned. Plants can be turned easily; but that also not a big problem. All I see is some pointy attempts from your side, which are very premature IMHO. Your works are wonderful; stay calm and come back when you feel comfortable. Jee 10:43, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment To be honest I have difficulties with such art nominations. The motive has definitely Wow potential but isn't it the wow coming from the original artist and not from the way is is photographed? For me as a person who is mainly interested in photographic aspects of Commons it is difficult to assess how much work is by Jebulon and how much work is from the original artist. If there was special effort necessary in order to photograph the motive in the way as it is done here I can warmy encourage the photographer to provide these information with together with nomnination. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:54, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you enjoy ? Then support is the last word. Do you think a FP needs to be difficult to be taken ? IMO you are basically wrong, but in this case, be sure that it is difficult. To photograph anything inside, without tripod, among tourists, is very hard. Do you think that post-processing work must be hard and must take time ? Again, you are wrong IMO. But be sure that it was hard and took a lot of my time. Anyway, you can compare with other similar works, like (no offense to the photographer) this one... I don't see any difference with a garden perspective photograph or a nice building picture or a wonderful mountain landscape (What is feature-able in Versailles ? The Le Nôtre gardens, or a very good picture of Le Nôtre gardens ? A nice old building is feature-able because of the photographer, or because of the architect ? Idem for anything). I've nominated this picture, simply because it is different, because I think the technical quality is up to the FP standards, and because I find this beau-ti-ful. And, more than any support vote or any FP star (I've got enough), I'm happy to share, from time to time, my vision of beauty with high level other photographers, better photographer than me. But at the end, once FP technical standards checked, let your heart speak. If you hear nothing, then ignore, and assess another picture. Long explanations in nominations has never made a picture better... Have you ever seen that kind of ceilings before ? This is the best relief of the CoA of pope Saint Pius V we have, and remember: this is not a wall, but a ceiling...
    • About pictures of works of art in general, as for me I just abstain for paintings (especially when famous), because I'm never sure of the colors (remember the last "Van Gogh", recently nominated with a very different alternative). But I think all other works of art are welcome here. When I nominate the Pietà of Michelangelo as FP candidate, be sure that I chose a masterpiece, and a ++ very good (IMO) version, very "worked", and deserving at least the nomination. That's an interesting discussion, and I'd be happy to continue it with you, dear Tuxyso. But it is not the place, and the "Babel" problem is still here...--Jebulon (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • I have no doubt about your honesty, but as already answered in QIC page, the line is so in real, because it is a 1550 wooden ceiling. Try a correction by yourself, and you will see that straightness is impossible, because it is NOT a deformation due to the lens.--Jebulon (talk) 01:18, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info ArildV and others: I made an alternative with a tighter crop at the right. Probably some people prefer this one. Let the crowd decide :) If you ask for the reason for nomination (valid for both cases): I think the light is quite good, level of detail is impressive and composition is interesting, especially the intersecting bridges in combination with the river and old buildings. --Tuxyso (talk) 21:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose QI but no wow. The sweep of the handrail has potential but it doesn't stand out, being the same colour as the empty road, which dominates the right hand side. The flower boxes are all empty -- how much better this would be if they were full of colourful flowers. The pedestrian on the bridge looks glum, carrying her shopping bag. The road and boats all point towards a subject, which is good, but it is just a streetlamp, which isn't switched on. So the eye isn't rewarded. It is a lovely day, but the scene isn't really making me want to be there. If only we had an attractive couple walking towards the camera, with a riot of flowers in the boxes, and some attractive lighting... -- Colin (talk) 08:09, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Diagram of Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
There's literally like 15 kinds of ice in the universe, including Ice six & Ice one-h. Ice six for whatever reason has tetragonal crystals, Ice 1h is the snowflake-kind we all know and love (the h stands for hexagonal crystals). Take a look at the w:Ice article. I didn't note "hexagonal crystals" cause everyone knows normal ice is hexagonal. Idk if grooves is a scientific term but that's what the wikipedia Ganymede article uses. && I usually don't capitalize headings, it's stylistic.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 05:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting stuff. In reading that I would suggest you clean up how you present the ice information. In one you use the official ice designation first yet in the other it is bracketed. I get you are assuming people know normal ice is hexagonal but I am certain you are mistaken. I would suggest naming the layers after their shape (hexagonal and tetragonal) and bracketing the official name (Ice 1h and Ice VI) for consitency.

Comparing it to your other graphics of the Sun, Earth, Moon, etc, the bold text is nicer.

Nightly view of Duisburg Inner Harbour with office building "Five Boats" and marina
  • Hmm, that´s strange. Dit you purge your cache? Cause now I´m home and looking at both versions in LR, and for my taste this was a big improvement for the picture.

@mathias: Die Hausaufgabe nehme ich gerne an :) Weit ist der Innenhafen von meiner Home Base zum Glück nicht entfernt. Wobei ich die richtige "Hardware" (Nodal Ninja) für ein solches Pano sogar dabei hatte. Allerdings hätte der Umbau vom Kugelkopf zum Nodalpunkt-Adapter wohl solange gedauert, dass das schöne Licht dahin gewesen wäre. Ich war auch so ganz zufrieden mit dem Resultat. Klar, D800-Qualität ist es natürlich nicht... ---Tuxyso (talk) 16:40, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Tuxyso, ich möchte nicht überkleinlich sein und ein Weak support ist ja immer noch vor allem ein Support, aber ich finde die Schärfe der rechten Häuserzeile für ein Bild vom Stativ einfach ein bisschen zu gering, vor allem am zweiten von links, und ich persönlich habe lieber ein wenig mehr Rauschen als eine doch relativ starke Weichzeichnung. Die Atmosphäre usw. ist natürlich super, und das ist auch das, was am Ende am meisten zählt. Ich hoffe, das nimmt mir hier keiner übel ;-).

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Do you seriously think the other three experienced reviewers are just incompetent morons out to antagonize people? Your overturning an FPX and calling this a great image is absolutely infuriating, as it is so very unbelievable anyone would consider this a great picture. This image fails virtually every single criteria we seek in FP. Saffron Blaze (talk) 02:42, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Excuse me, why are you attacking my opinion when I did not attack anyone's opinion? I only voiced my own opinion as I find it meets the FP criteria, that's all. So this only enforces everyone's fear that there is no "free speech" to oppose when everyone else supports, just that in this case, it's the opposite situation. You are free to oppose, but please do not attack others' opinions. Thank you very much. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 03:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • FYI my policy is this. I respect your opinion(s) and I expect you to respect mine as well. But if you choose not to respect my opinion, or attack it, I may choose not to respect your opinion and/or attack yours as well. However, clarification and asking for more details of my opinion is fine. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 03:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is impossible to respect an opinion that has no foundation in reality. I have cordially discussed this penchant you have to make out of step arbitrary assessments based on personal preferences and this apparent need to assert your opinion against reasoned consensus. I am not the only one who has mentioned this either. Yet you persist despite our attempts to provide friendly counsel. The fact of the matter this image fails every criteria we set out for FPC yet you think it should be featured as one of our finest works. This opinion of yours was offered despite very obvious opposition from seasoned reviewers. That is why I cannot respect this vote of support. Saffron Blaze (talk) 05:32, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry Saffron. I just thought about it and I think probably it isn't really top-class, "our best work", and suitable for FP. So I shall withdraw my vote. Earlier on, I promoted it to QI, and I think that's probably more suitable for this photo, compared to FP. If you have any opposition, you can open a discussion at the QI nomination. If no discussion is opened, I think it would be promoted tomorrow at 04:58 UTC. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 06:53, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Too many flaws (too dark, vignetting, haloes, no subject), lack of minimum quality, far under the FP standars, sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 22:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support.

Colour photo of Saturn with overlaid false-colour image of ultraviolet polar aurora

  •  Info What the original reviewers apparently didn't know (because the file description[s] didn't have this information): It is a composite image. And a deceiving one at that: We see a normal, colour image of Saturn with ultraviolet aurora in false-colour overlaid on it. The colourful, nice-looking image conceals the fact that we don't know colours of aurorae on Saturn yet. (Original nomination) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scanmap (talk • contribs) --DXR (talk) 23:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I am by no means an expert on astronomy, but your exact complaint is disclosed in the, admittedly German, description. --DXR (talk) 23:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It states, loosely translated : Composite image of an shot of Saturn taken on March 22, 2004 with a false color image of UV polarlight taken January 24, overlaid. --DXR (talk) 23:17, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Edit: It actually has an English description that states that, so I honestly do not see how that would be deceiving. --DXR (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 CommentAt the time of FP candidacy the description read:
English: Auroras on Saturn.
 Comment First, please don't forget to sign your comments. Second, I highly doubt that many people here are motivated to delist a photo due to issues that do no longer exist. --DXR (talk) 20:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment
Don't you think it is important to know what you're looking at in order to do a valid review of an image? I think especially with this picture knowledge is important to get anything from it. So the question im asking here is: Do people still think it is a worthy featured picture when they have the facts in mind? Imagine it was "just" a painting? Or would we rather prefer something more honest - that arguably even uses the false colours for some useful purpose like the one to the right? - I'm not trying to lobby against the picture. If the standards for FP still cover this I'm fine with that.
Issues that might still exist in my opinion are: You have to be told beforehand what you are looking at in order to not be fooled. And then it's more or less just nice-looking.--Scanmap (talk) 22:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see your point, yet this is the FP section of Commons (and not en.wiki and not COM:VIC) where the relationship between encyclopedia and esthetics is rather skewed towards the second. While I agree that it wasn't ideal to nominate an image that wasn't described well enough, I do not think that the image in its current form including a decent description is unworthy of FP status. I do indeed think that viewers can be expected to read a description, that's why they are there after all.
It is unfortunate that the image linked here is slightly small and unsharp, otherwise I would have suggested a nomination here. You are obviously very free to nominate an image you consider better or more suited, but I personally feel that an current FP must have larger flaws than the ones pointed out by you in order to be delisted. --DXR (talk) 08:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I feel misunderstood. --A.Savin 14:50, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Halavar, The question you might want to ask yourself is whether his comments have merit. I haven't checked to see if they do, but wouldn't it be better to know and then you can complain from a stronger position? For me I love the building but not sure you captured it from its most flattering angle. The angle chosen also resulted in some complex perspective issues that are yet to be addressed. Saffron Blaze (talk) 15:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hazy Skyline of Bangkok, Thailand
  •  Info Panoramic view of Bangkoks hazy skyline. Pictures where taken from the "2nd" floor of the Wat Arun. It is a 14 (upright)picture pano taken at 100mm, hand-halt. ;-) c/u/n by me, mathias K 17:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- mathias K 17:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • 2nd  Info I know that the foreground looks a bit random and maybe not everyone likes the resulting actual crop. But there were some roofs in the foreground so I had to crop this for the "hazy-city effect". Just for orientation, the Millenium Hilton Hotel (with the "UFO" on top) right in the middle of the picture is about 5,5 km away. --mathias K 18:17, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Is the background in focus or is that just the haze? Either way it does detract from a massive pano with lots of detail. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would say the focus fits pretty good. Even those little things like satellite dishes and antennas are visible very well, though through the haze ;-). But anyway I got your point and agree with it. I would also prefer this pano with bright sunshine, a blue sky and all those little details shown clear and "sharp". But with the given circumstances, I like the result pretty much cause this hazy view, with the nearly mising colours has something special in my eyes. --mathias K 05:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

swap my comments to insults really is not very mature, I express just what I think, and sincerely believe to be quite objective, no fury, no insult. I doubt the photographer to stop taking pictures because of my comments, I doubt that my comments offend the photographer, the most they can push to improve, to change the subject, change cities, change place or not repeating the same actions.

Hauingen: building Steinenstraße 6a (cultural heritage monument)
Would you have spend a few seconds more you could see that this is a regular residential building, but exceeding small. But I never had seen any solid review on my picture by you. Such is life. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:02, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did notice it was small, but not "exceedingly small". Perhaps, if the subject is remarkable but the photo fails to express that clearly, then that is all the more reason to oppose. -- Colin (talk) 08:03, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
the photo fails to express that clearly because? I see a house and a lamp in the background to give a idea of the dimensions. If this point should really be your reason to oppose (but I question this) than it is easy to disprove.--Wladyslaw (talk) 08:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The house in the background is four stories tall, so of course it is larger. And a street lamp at similar height to a second floor window is not unusual. -- Colin (talk) 09:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please show me just one example of a house with just 1 story, an area like an garage and straightly above a attic floor with double pitch roof. I never had seen that before. --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hot air balloon over Lake Sihl, Switzerland
You have found apparently a new hobby? Giving the same cursorily argument on all my nomination. So it looks.--Wladyslaw (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It goes to the heart of why this not FP. It is a perfectly ordinary photo of a perfectly ordinary balloon, with no apparent attempt at artistic composition or spectacular technical achievement. In contrast, King of Hearts, I don't think "I think it is quite good" is a satisfactory reason to support an image that is supposed to be among our finest works -- have you looked at the category for balloons? -- Colin (talk) 10:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Higher Resolution? My camera has 16 MP and this image was not downsized, so no chance to get a higher resolution. But I wonder anyways what is the effort increasing the resolution? You want to make a ultra poster out of it? This picture was not sharpend in addition, IMO it's sharp enough. But I could for sure sharpen the image a bit. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:36, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why would increasing the resolution/sharpness make this more interesting? Remember this is supposed to be the "finest" on Commons, so a look at the category is a good idea. This is complicated by the fact that someone has over-categorised as is a frequent problem on Commons. But still, we have thousands of balloon photographs and many are equal to this in technical quality and lots are superior in terms of subject (not least, as Saffron points out, the other balloon picture by Wladyslaw). -- Colin (talk) 08:22, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jupiter's moon Callisto
Finally someone actually noticed!!¡¡ 😊 It's because all my earth science diagrams are actually meant to be miniatures hence the short focal lengths, wide apertures, & iOS7-style scattering effects. Idk if I got the falloffs right though—I'm not sure how circles blur with bokeh so I just used a gaussian filter. I've never had to do point bokeh so it's not that obviouss—Love, Kelvinsong talk 23:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've actually noticed it all the while, including in the other diagrams. And I like it, as it lets us know which planet the moon belongs to, and gives the effect of viewing the moon from space. Btw Kelvinsong, is it possible for you to create similar diagrams for the planets and dwarf planet (Pluto)? (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 02:01, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ofc!! I'll probably do Jupiter first then Saturn & the terrestrial planets. && Thanks everyone for all the support!!!¡ ☺—Love, Kelvinsong talk 21:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh stahp it's literally just a 8.0 gaussian blur on jupiterr!. Moved the title (though personally I think it's better to have the title superimposed on it to make it clear that Jupiter is in the background). && I wish I had the patience to do all of them & nominate them as a set but the promotion of each one motivates me to do the next one ;). Also I didn't really want to invest so much effort if there was a chance they wouldn't be very well recieved bc a lot of large projects I drew before wound up getting ignored in FPC so I don't do those anymore.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question How could we be sure that this design shows the truth ? Is Callisto's interior really like that ? In other words: are these diagrams "scientific" ? Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 23:28, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jebulon Good question & not really one I can answer. Usually I just draw what the sources specify & if the scientists are wrong you can't really blame me. I use 3D projection software & draw these things with neurotic precision because I'm like OCD with this so you certainetely don't have anything to worry about on my end. Really I don't think it's even possible to be wrong with subjects like this cause from what I read not even the lab coats know what's inside the Jupiter moons. It mostly consists of all the scientists making their own guesses about the moon structure and each guess is different. Sometimes the scientists even contradict themselves (along the lines of "wtf eight pages ago you said Callisto had Ice III inside it & now it turned into Ice V??"). If I tried to average the numbers or cover every possibility there would probably not actually be any Callisto diagram to vote on here. Really the only way to do this is to just pick one source that's fairly recent & comprehensive enough & go with it. Ig if a PhD publication can't be trusted then I don't even know what can then.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 20:15, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much Kelvinsong for complete answer. I'm fully ignorant about astronomy. I don't want to "blame" anybody, and especially not scientists ! It was just a series of questions, and I think they are not illegitime in this case. Your kind answer is sufficient for me. "Love" too, --Jebulon (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I can´t understand anything that you said. --Araujojoan96 (talk) 15:33, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The cropped of the photo? I only respect the original size... I didn´t took the photo. --Araujojoan96 (talk) 15:36, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think I can think of the phrase "I didn´t took the photo". Please, take responsibility for what you propose--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 16:16, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you can't understand my English, I can explain me in spanish: En cuanto la composición, la foto está descompensada. El sujeto mira hacia la derecha y el espacio libre está hacia la izquierda. Es una pena, pero, para mí, no es una buena foto--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 16:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lo repito, respeté el tamaño original de la foto. Yo me responsabilizo por mis nominaciones, pero es absurdo que crea que tengo que complacerlos a todos para que me den su voto. --Araujojoan96 (talk) 16:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The issue Bugallo raised is he didn't like the space on the left he thinks it should be on the right. He is entitled to that opinion. I just don't agree with it. If the black space was on the right it would be like Mr Gabrial is singing to the void. Here he gives the impression of singing out to those beyond. It's just a matter of taste and people vote their taste here. BTW, this latest edit isn't likely to help your cause. Saffron Blaze (talk) 16:57, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I´m surprised that a serious matter like this, a Feature Picture nomination, has to be simplified to a matter of taste...--Araujojoan96 (talk) 17:03, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I ignore singular oppose votes. Addressing them often makes things worse. This is an abject example of that. Saffron Blaze (talk) 17:17, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
¡Qué difícil es permitir que alguien piense diferente!: La composición es mala: Bad composition. It's my opinion. Tengo que negar mi opinión por algún especial motivo?--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 18:55, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
¿No es suficiente que ante tantos votos a favor me muestre diferente como para que vosotros me podáis ignorar?. ¿Por qué se odia al que no piensa lo mismo?. Algúndía pensaré igual. ¿Debería entonces rechazar la compañía? Conclusión: Somos poca cosa y menos si no somos como son los que son más. ...Y todo esto por una ...de foto que no me importa un carallo. Todo por simplemente no ser igual--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 19:01, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agregué el espacio en negro, por si no lo notaste. No escribiré más al respecto. --Araujojoan96 (talk) 19:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No veo espacio en negro más que el de las palabras tuyas, gracias: Bad composition IMO. I can say what I think and there is what I say--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 19:13, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment You're a big friend, of course--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 19:14, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ésta es la versión actual: 1. Ésta es la antigua 2. Juzga por ti mismo y deja de actuar así. --Araujojoan96 (talk) 19:16, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Empezáramos por ahí. Yo no me he fijado en la foto desde entonces. Está mucho mejor. No me puedo oponer ni queriendo. Debería no querer por como he sido tratado. Ni si quiera se ha indicado que se me ha hecho algo de caso. Se me ha llevado adelante como a un... Pero la verdad es la verdad: Me gusta ahora la foto mucho, no solamente lo suficiente,  Support, aunque no precisamente te considerte un buen amigo, dado el trato recibido por no ser igual--Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 19:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lo hice apenas lo pediste, Miguel. Sólo que me decepcionaba que dos personas se hubieran opuesto por gustos personales. Eso no quiere decir que te hubiera despreciado o ignorado. Nunca quise eso; lo que pasa es que no sabía muy bien como arreglarlo hasta que la solución apareció sola ante mí. Te pido disculpas si te ofendí, te agradezco el buen gesto, y si quisiera ser tu amigo en un futuro. --Araujojoan96 (talk) 22:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for that, I changed the information... Is better now? --Araujojoan96 (talk) 14:52, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Friedrich-von-Thiersch-Saal, Kurhaus Wiesbaden, Germany
We are used to Diliff's fantastic stitched photographs but this appears to be a single frame from a 10MP camera and is approx 75% width, which is not a large reduction. If the subject were less spectacular, or the framing less precise, the lower resolution would count against it for me. Martin, the 2MP limit is the absolute floor of acceptability (to be breached only if really justified). There is nothing stopping reviewers citing insufficient resolution/sharpness in their opinion for their oppose as we are judging what is the "finest on Commons", rather that what is acceptable. This happens not infrequently for scanned paintings or for panoramas. The "finest" will naturally creep upwards technically. Btw, can people avoid "small" for review comments. I know the intention is to make the text parenthetical but it has accessibility issues. -- Colin (talk) 17:58, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Court of the Lions of Alhambra
  •  Info Court of the Lions of Alhambra. The light is quite challenging (extreme bright, dark differences), shooting conditions poor (no tripods allowed, a lot of people, very limited time). I made a hand-held exposure fusion.
    all by me. I look forward to your reviews. -- Tuxyso (talk) 10:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Tuxyso (talk) 10:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral good quality, but could you try to give the image a more natural appearance? --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:43, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. Yeah, unfortunately the processing is just not realistic looking. Diliff (talk) 17:00, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done Martin and Diliff, I've hopefully adressed your issue and made a completely new development. IMHO it looks now more naturally. It would be nice to take another look and give some feedback. Thanks. --Tuxyso (talk) 19:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Per others --Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:34, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for re-reviewing. The current photo is the most natural looking one I could achieve - I made several attempts... --Tuxyso (talk) 08:18, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not easy to make this sort of scene look natural. It's tempting to do all the processing in a tone mapping/exposure fusion software, but I often find that it's better to output a very 'flat' tone mapped/fused image, and then do the rest of the post-processing in Lightroom/Photoshop. It's more time consuming and difficult that way, but you end up with better control of how it looks. I'm not sure how you're processing it, but it's worth keeping in mind. :-) Diliff (talk) 09:19, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks for your suggestions. I usually use Photomatix 4 only for exposure fusion. The tonemapping and selective shadow brightening, local white balances,... is done in LR. The function "Merge to 32 Bit HDR" has the disadvantage that ghosts cannot me marked as those. Thus I usually use Photomatix with manual ghost marking and exposure fusion in combination with LR. The detail enhancer method ofter leads to unnatural results - I use it very seldom. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment There are some issues: the right side is closer to the camera than the left one (horizontal perspective correction needed?), to me it still looks unnatural (but wouldn't make me oppose with this improved version), the closer group of columns on the right is leaning out and there are some noticeable halos, especially 2 people in the middle of the right side. The place is, of course, magic... Poco2 15:48, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose As said in QIC, Granada is one of my favorite places in the world. But all the issues mentioned by Poco are enough for me to oppose. I think an attempt to clone out the tourists could be interesting. Once again, I'll be there next summer vacations, and I'll try to do something. And yes, the place is magic !--Jebulon (talk) 16:03, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral I can't oppose this, but I can't support it. I actually went off and did something else for 20 minutes or so and came back for this one ... and it just seems ... unreal, or maybe hyper-real. I can't imagine how difficult it is to get the lighting right, since I've never visited this site, but it looks like a painting that was itself created in a badly lit studio. Details in shadow are (seemingly) impossibly highlighted; every nearby tourist is partially obscured. It feels like a composite; it feels like a manipulation—and, with apologies, I can't seem to get past that. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 06:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poecile montanus
 Info Appreciate the constructive comments, and I can understand the desire for more colour/warmth. However, I don't really want to increase the saturation in this case, as the Willow Tit has quite muted plumage, which reflects its habitat (damp scrub/woodland at cool latitudes - it nests in old, rotten tree stumps ), and I think this is captured here. The background is all foliage, just lighter on the right. --Baresi franco (talk) 19:32, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Poco, you are correct, but regrettably I cannot add more space on the left.

But, come to think of it, you're right. To me, this is hyper-everything—hyper-sharp, hyper-lit, hyper-colored; the photographic equivalent of an overproduced song.

    I don't think it is a matter of location in the image, but e.g. some of the buildings near the church are a bit soft (like the ruin below) [but well possible that I'm maybe a bit too strict here]. I would just sharpen it a notch overall to give it more crispness, but just my opinion, not a big deal at all at this res. --DXR (talk) 10:47, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak  Oppose Sorry but Imo despite sharpening, the left part are is still not quite sharp and has a low level of detail. Composition and lighting is good, but not outstanding (nothing that sets it apart from a good QI). No wow either.--ArildV (talk) 12:04, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    ArildV, can you please add a note where you miss detail? I cannot see the loss of quality that make you oppose. The weather and lighting were IMHO optimal. The sun was shining to the facades of the interesting side of the village and the shadows, far from disturbing, add perspective and texture to the image. The clouds, that could be shown properly with help of HDR, are a plus to me, as well. Regarding wow, of course, that's a matter of taste. Maybe you think that this kind of scenes are usual in Spain. I am Spaniard and have travelled a lot and I hadn't seen a case of a whole village being fully built up on such a steep hill. Before tooking the picture I walked around the houses and it was pretty crazy. When I took this picture there was big wow for me and I thought that would be even more for others not familiar with old spanish villages. Poco2 14:05, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Poco_a_poco; after discussing the picture earlier today, I took another look. I'm still not convinced, to me it is almost like you've applied a lot of sharpening on a slightly blurred image. I am aware that I may be wrong, and removed my oppose (and DXR has a point).
    I dont doubt your description of the village, abandoned (or partially abandoned places) are often interesting and often have an very interesting story to tell. But an exciting and unique places does not automatically mean that the picture is exciting and unique. For me, this is a very straightforward QI with a good composition, good lighting conditions and good EV. I look forward to see more pictures taken inside the village. I understand the feeling of walking around in the unique village, but I don't feel that feeling when I look at this picture. I dont think I can explain it better.--ArildV (talk) 17:14, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The dark sky with sunlight on the subject is a good catch, and capturing the whole old village on the hillside makes an interesting composition for me. Whenever I find an image disappointing at 100% for softness or noise, I always pop it into something like IrfanView and reduce it first 75%-original-size then perhaps 50%-original-size with a little sharpening. Here, the 75% size version is still over 11MP and very sharp all over. So I ask myself if an 11MP image offered at FP would have enough wow here. And it does for me here. I'd rather Poco donated his larger image than felt it necessary to heavily downsample to avoid pixel-peeping. -- Colin (talk) 17:26, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Pixel-peeping is a derogatory term, and I dont think it's fair here. The most reviewers (including me) take into account the images size (In other words, you are not alone), it is one of the considerations when reviewing images (downsampling is not a solution, since we take eventual downsampling into account ​​when reviewing the image). By the way, I upload and nominate full-size images.--ArildV (talk) 18:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • ArildV, I think you assume too much of your fellow contributors and you also assume everyone here is as experienced as you with FP expectations and norms. Also, remember my comments aren't just/necessarily pointed at yours. You may well have done as I suggested and still found the image wanting (I can't personally spot any sharpness issues at 75% but perhaps you think then the detail or resolution at 11MP is unexceptional and requires more). But you didn't say you had. So for all the newbies and kids who vote here, are they to read this and assume that pixel peeping is fair game? Because if one reads photography websites it sure is and nothing is desirable less than the latest 36MP A7R with Zeiss glass. Back in the real world, we have lenses mortals can afford, cameras that can only dream of 19MP, heat haze, noise, hand shake, wind... The vast majority of images online are "resized for web" and probably look awful at 100% and Commons is quite unusual in publishing large images for close examination. So you may not need reminding of the dangers of pixel peeping, but in my experience many do. As a newbie reviewer, nothing is easier than opening the image at 100% and finding technical flaws. Oh look, I found some CA in the edges. Far harder and bolder to criticise the composition or lighting, say. Contributors have given up because of pixel peeping complaints at FP and many contributors do downsize heavily to avoid them. I know of no other term than "pixel peeping" to describe an issue apparent only at 100% but that is not felt important for judging. BTW, I don't understand why you struck your oppose. I think your rationale is a valid one and should conclude in you opposing. Be bold! -- Colin (talk) 19:26, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Weak oppose To me it was not obvious what was the subject of the picture, and even after reading the description I still couldn't say without doubts which building we are talking about. I guess that from that location 70 mm was not enough to stand out the subject. Further I am not sure why you placed it that low and so far to the left, I'd centered it a bit more. Sharpness is good but not outstanding and both sides are leaning out a bit. I imagine that the reason for the chosen shutter speed, low DoF and resulting composition is that you had to be quick (commercial flight?), and I have to say that under that condition the shot is really good but still not a FP to me, sorry. Poco2 18:32, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As stated in both the description here and on the file page, the image captures both the old national stadium and its replacement (Friends arena) in the same image. I cant at all understand why a different focal length had made a difference, the distance between the stadiums are over one kilometer. For once I dont think your comment make any sence, I can of course center the two stadiums by a further crop but it will just make the both arenas a smaller part of the images and make it harder for you see "which building we are talking about " (what's the point of that?) I can not see any better way to include both stadiums in the same picture, I can not see any photographic tricks that make the stadiums to "stand out" better.
With all due respect Diego, I don't think you take into enough account the image qualities. The image has historical value (the only free aerial image showing both venues), Råsunda is a historic arena (one of the few that has hosted the world cup final in soccer for both men and women), the quality is not bad compared to other aerial FP (especially considering that it covers several square kilometers!), picture could only be taken from a chartered helicopter (if you were lucky and got permission to fly as close to Bromma Airport, and the stadium is demolished today).--ArildV (talk) 19:06, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Arild, I got it wrong. I looks that I didn't read the description carefully and came to the conclusion that the subject was only the stadium in the bottom left corner. Therefore my judge was based on a wrong premise, I take my oppose back and leave it just as a comment. Poco2 13:51, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Info A few words of the guidelines: Symbolic meaning or relevance Opinion wars can begin here … 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. Images can be culturally biased by the photographer and/or the observer. The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image (to read more about it), not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations…

I have also problems with the light because nearly the complete ship is in unfortunate shadow (only tiny areas at the nose and on the front parts of the containers receive some light). Motive: If you walk for instance through Hamburg you have much more impressive container ships than this one. You could have made this photo special if more of the surronding context had been visible. As it is here, it is just a (relatively boring) ship in any harbour in any country.

Poco2 07:39, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm a little concerned about giving so much importance to where the image was taken. Wikimedia Commons is a global project and have a global perspective. It is true that users from Europe (especially Western Europe) are over-represented here, but should it really affect the assessment of the images? Are pictures from Vietnam more exotic and therefore have a bigger wow? Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area is populated by more than 9,000,000 people and Vietnamn have more then 90 million inhabitant (more inhabitants than Berlin and Germany), no remote or difficult to reach location.--ArildV (talk) 10:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that you didn't focus it the way I mean. Vietnam is not more exotic than Spain globally (but it is, of course, to my person). If we were flooded of high quality pictures from Vietnam then my comment would not be accurate, but right now in the category of Quality images of Vietnam you will only find pictures of Prenn (mostly flowers) and mine. So, although Commons is a global project, a big majority of the photographers and reviewers here come from Europe and America and will more likely be familiar to cities like Berlin, Madrid, Paris or London than Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi or Phnom Penh. To me usually it will have more wow seeing something I haven't ever seen before than something I have seen in person. Poco2 11:43, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
