File:Kolomenskoe Ascension Church and the bell tower of the George Church.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination: Ascension Church, Kolomenskoe, Moscow. A.Savin 20:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Review
  •  Support Good quality. --Taxiarchos228 08:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Oversharped, visible light borders; CA. I have a sample of image declined with same CA. To avoid oversharpening bright borders you may use a separate layer with Lighten mode and less opacity (about 70%).--PereslavlFoto 15:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
    • The image may imho not be oversharpened when it is not sharpened at all. Also, there are no longer any significant CA's present. A.Savin 20:11, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
      • Проверьте башню справа. Её контуры с цветными аберрациями. Мне зарубили фото домика в Рыбной слободе, на котором были гораздо меньшие аберрации, то есть я опираюсь на прецедент. Или можем подождать: я выставлю фото церкви Петра митрополита, и мы посмотрим, будут ли её рубить за ХА. А резкость вполне может задирать ваша фотокамера, эффект виден по светящемуся контуру над крыльцом и справа от Вознесенской церкви.--PereslavlFoto 11:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Wow. You make your desicion whether we have here a CA or not dependent on whether someone will find some CA on your own QI candidate? That's really what I call expert's knowledge. LOL. - A.Savin 07:36, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Я вижу здесь ХА и обозначил места на фотографии. Сравнивая с другим прецедентом, я вижу, что здесь ХА гораздо сильнее. Вы правильно рассудили, это именно экспертная оценка после обучения на прецедентах. Я согласен, что экспертные оценки вообще неразумны, однако других тут нету :-))).--PereslavlFoto 10:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

      • The rule of the thirds is applied for a landscape or for a picture in which most of the image is sharp. In this case, the main subject (the flower), in my opinion, should be centered. Here are some examples -Gzzz 16:48, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

      •  Comment I've rotated the img by 1 degree while maintaining the background. How is it? --Tyw7 16:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
        • Sorry, there are now severe artifacts at the borders resulting from padding the emtpy space generated by the rotation. Look, for example, at the bottom right corner. You always need to crop an image after rotation. --Quartl 16:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 Comment I have removed most of the most alluring spots using the clone tool. But I think it may be dirt on the lenses causing the spots.--Tyw7 16:36, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Decline
  •  Oppose Neither fly nor plant is identified or sharp. --Quartl 17:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
    • I disagree The fly is right there on the stem of the plant. The plant is clearly identifiable so is the fly imo --Tyw7 17:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
      • At least one of flower and fly have to be identified in the description and categorization. --Quartl 17:18, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
        • By to identify, he means "to write the insect's and flower's specific latin names". -Gzzz 17:31, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
          • I'm assuming its a common house fly. And do we need to know the flower's latin name for QI? If so can a biologist help me? --Tyw7 17:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

                • Quality images must be categorized, have a meaningful title and description. This should include the Taxa naming for organisms. --Quartl 18:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
                • ... and whatever species the fly actually is, it isn't Musca domestica (see, for example, the wings) and I doubt it can be determined from this image. --Quartl 12:54, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

        • Maybe something like File:Tamias striatus juilllet 2011-CN.jpg is better? --Carschten 14:53, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
          • This version has better colors, but also a disturbing light hole in the background to the left. Maybe crop it away? --Quartl 15:07, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
            • I'm strongly against cropping it. First of all I don't think the left bright spot is disturbing at all but it adds a good contrast and illustrates the natural surrounding. And cropping it away would leave you with a single light hole above the head which would then really be disturbing. And moreover you would totally loose the perspective of a tiny chipmunk on a big green background – that is really what makes this image special because you get an idea of the relation of size between the twig and the animal. Carschten's modifications look good though. De728631 (talk) 17:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
  •  Oppose White balance is definitely off (File:Tamias striatus juilllet 2011 HH.jpg). And crop would be nice. W.S. 18:53, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
    • Now that really looks artificially whitened. And the one big light hole is much more distracting (what I feared above) than the two separate holes on the bigger image. De728631 01:09, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

    •  Comment thank you for the review. I don't understand, why you decline because of "lack of sharpness and clarity". Photo was taken on cloudy day and the mood of light was exactly as shown. Building itself is made out of sandstone, maybe this looks "soft" to you?. I will check, if I can make any improvements (higher saturation, sharpening) on the shoot and than I 'll ask for other opinions. --J. Lunau 10:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
      • Nikon D70 allows 3008×2000 px, so you may think about uploading the larger version than current 1947×1203 size. Check the sharpness of details.--PereslavlFoto 10:49, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Lampost in Pereslavl museum. Photo made with a tilt-shift lens. --PereslavlFoto 14:39, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Before we get this picture again and again: I find the blurring towards the sides very disturbing. The image may have artistical merit but that is not what QI is about. It may be useful to illustrate the tilt-shift effect, but not every tilt-shift picture is automatically a QI. In this case, the blurring does not enhance but reduce the quality of the outcome. --Quartl 07:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
    •  Comment On the one hand, you think that the blurring effect of tilt lens is disturbing. That is about your preferences, not about the quality. On the other hand, the photographer thinks the details at the left and right sides of the photo have no sense and must be blurred. This speech is about "do like/do not like", not about the image quality.--PereslavlFoto 10:32, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
      •  Comment Disturbing elements in a picture decrease its quality. The left and right parts of the image could also be cropped away in case they have no sense. --Quartl 13:36, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
        •  Comment Thus, the photo will be better when cropped into a narrow vertical frame, cut from the context and scissored out of the scene? But that crop will be too tight, too close to the post itself. The trouble is, there are many other elements around the lampost: a bench, a swing, a tree, a bush; and they are all disturbing and they all have no sense when showing the lampost. But I cannot remove those disturbing elements. I can only blur them with a tilt lens, so to stress the lampost. This is, say, a portrait of the pole with a lamp on it.--PereslavlFoto 21:13, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
          •  Comment No, what I am saying is that context is important. This lamppost is in a park, and benches, trees, bushes and even red swings are its natural surroundings. There are many ways to portrait a lamp in a park and using a tilt-shift lens is not mandatory for this. The key point is composition: you should find a nice lamp (and I daresay there are many of those in the park), try to find a good angle that doesn't show any disturbing elements and nicely arrange the scene. --Quartl 05:16, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
            •  Comment And so, the tilt-lens can be used — in what case? When the blurred sides are suitable? (In my point of view, blurred sides are suitable in any case there is nothing sensible on those sides.)--PereslavlFoto 13:29, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

      • Well, wherever the bright spotlight in the top left is coming from, it is distracting. You see reflections from some windows in the bottom part of the image and the CA, for example, on the chain in front. --Quartl 13:32, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
        • The spotlight is a garden lamp. I will check is anything can be done with it. The bottom part is lit with yellow house lights falling from the windows of a nearby house. This is a natural light for the place, it is not a fault of photographer but an indispensable part of the scene. What about the chain, I cannot see any CA. Are you speaking about orange elements? This part of the chain is lit with the same light coming from a nearby house.--PereslavlFoto 21:00, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
          • The subject is the anchor and the light on it is artificial. There are cases where monuments are specially lit for artistic reasons, but this is not the case here. The light doesn't show the anchor in its natural coloring which should be a rusty grey. Have you tried taking the photo at day? --Quartl 05:29, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
            • Thank you, now I see your idea. It will be good to shoot in daylight, and I plan to do it someday. In this case the photographer wanted to show the scene in night time. That is why the photographer will try to search for RAW file and to remake this picture keeping your warnings in mind :-). This monument is specially lit for no reason, just because it stays in the lit place.--PereslavlFoto 11:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
            • Natural colour of the anchor depends on light. In cloudy day it is black. In sunny day it is bright with blue and green tint. At night in red light it is ogange and red.

  •  Comment I think there is value in showing the animal from all sides. This is not an artistic photo of a cow, but an encyclopedic illustration of a specific breed. The picture shows how the animals look like from the back. If the picture would have had a different angle, it had been completely useless for that purpose. We need pictures from other angles too, but there is no contradiction, and it does not make this photo worse.--Ankara 15:19, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

    • Most professional Rugby photos are croped this way because feet are not important in Rugby handling and passing skills, what matter is the bust, the hands, the look and the ball. Bascially you have the entire player pictured in the photo when you want to show his motion or his kicking abilities (penalty, or drop), not for a pass. --PierreSelim 13:19, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

        • Did not understand what a "mineral" composition should be; never heard about that. What is overexposed? Maybe you mean the coat, not cloth? But it is not, you can see different shades. Why is this crop unfortunately? This pictues shows the main entrance and two persons are entering the church. Why are the persons disturbing? So you can see where the entrance is. Significant lacking sharpness I can not amount and the tiny shadow in the edge? Come one where are here not at FPC. --Wladyslaw (talk) 13:06, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Mabe not the tower, but check the centered horizontal lines in front of it. This is probably the effect of lens distortion due to the small focal length. Alvesgaspar 20:44, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
    • Well I still have to disagree. That is how the road and banks are built at this place, there is a "natural" unevenness to the left. Check the most horizontal lines of the ponds at the bottom end of the picture for instance: not tilted. Plus imagine if (only) the road lines in front of the tower were straight, the picture would look far more tilted. --NonOmnisMoriar 21:59, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
  • There is indeed a feeling of tilt but maybe you are right about the uneveness of the structures. I'm removing my oppose vote because I can't be more precise. -- Alvesgaspar 22:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
