3D sonogram of fetal spine
  •  Info created by Moroder - uploaded by Moroder - nominated by Moroder -- Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:47, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:47, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think it is a refreshing topic and type of image, which I think we should be open for. I think that the metadata, which are shown in the screen dump would be better captured in the file page. That is, I would crop the image, such that we only see the image from the scan and the remaining data are transferred to the file page. Yes, I know this will tecnically decrease the resolution of the image, but I trust (hope) the reviewers can see that it does not change the informational value of the image. One could add a scale to the cropped image such that the proportions are directly available. Also to present it in a form where the information is more broadly understood. For instance I see a length scale of 6.7 cm mentioned. But which proportion of the image does that correspond to (length or height)? Quite some other numbers and data are mentioned but their interpretation is not self-explanatory. Moreover, to increase the value of the image I think it would be worthwhile to describe on the file page in greater detail what kind of equipment has been used, if any kind of special processing has been applied to generate the image. Last but not least, the nominated image is closely related to another image, and it is my feeling that in combination, they can be used to provide a three-dimensional view of the fetal spine. However, it is not clear for me how that works, and I think there should be some kind of guidance for the viewer. I showed the image to my wife, who has a medical background and some experience with ultrasound, and she tells me it is a very good image, especially how well the individual spine taps(?) are resolved in the fetus. --Slaunger (talk) 17:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I will support iff better technical information is provided on the file page, essentially per Slaugner. --Claritas (talk) 11:24, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 InfoThe image has been cropped and technical information is now provided on the description of the image --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 13:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The description states "Focal Zone position at 6,7 cm." 6.7 cm from what ? --Claritas (talk) 16:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is from the array of cristals --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 19:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And thus from the ultrasonography machine ? --Claritas (talk) 20:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is the distance from the probe surface - maternal skin interface and the focal region--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 21:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - per above discussion. Very educational and unusual picture. --Claritas (talk) 16:56, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Have you upsampled it to make it reach the 2 Mpixel guideline? Please do not. Upsampling does not add any information. Regarding crop, my personal preference would be to remove all of the black frame only keep the actual image frame. Yes, I know this means fewer pixels, but the information is the same. --Slaunger (talk) 17:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, as stated in the retouching template. This has been requested in a former discussion about this image on the size of the image by some reviewers. I was not very happy to do it as I know that FP is not strict about the 2 MP rule as is QI. To tell you the truth I do feel that there is not much understanding from the reviewers for medical images. I think IMHO reviewers should judge the images for their visual impact and for the information value they provide to an encyclopaedia.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:25, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am sorry to hear that. Where has that been discussed for this image?? If someone has really asked you to upsample the image, it is something I strongly disagree with. I think you are right that we reviewers do not (yet) have much understanding of medical images. Please do not give up, and give the community some time to understand the domain. Do you know COM:VIC? That is a forum focusing on the value of an image and less on the resolution. I think you should have kept the cropped revision by Wetenschatje. -Slaunger (talk) 20:48, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Very interesting, new, unusual and with a very high encyclopedic and educational value. We must never forget to keep our minds open. The original size should not be a problem in this specific case ("mitigating circumstances" or something like that...). In my humble opinion, the better version is the very first one, which shows the image as it comes out from the "tool", because that's part of the whole picture and of the "subject" (a medical image), and it gives special informations, not only technical, but visual too "So looks a picture made by an ultrasonography machine" (encyclopedic informations), regarding this specific point I disagree with Slaunger. After that, the uploader is free (and encouraged) to give explanations and other informations/translations in the file description page. Anyway, I really hope a promotion for this one, which is really -at least- different. --Jebulon (talk) 01:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
I mean a horizontal panoramic image like this one, where you see the mosque, the bread-fish selling boats.. etc.. greetings. Ggia (talk) 08:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Ggia's nom below reminded me of this shot, which I think captures well the atmosphere of that part of Istanbul. -- Benh (talk) 21:20, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Even do not know what to start with: either with a noisy sky with some dust spots, or with an unfortunate lighting, or with a bad crop, or with a cut-off main subject. Benh, you're opposing so many good images, how could have you supported this one... Oh, I see, you are the one who took it :-)--Mbz1 (talk) 06:41, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image being good or not is matter of taste, and you're right that as author, I will always be biased. But if I nominate, it means I like it, so I support. On objective criterias, this one is noisy, but it's unscaled down 18mpix pic, which is mitigating IMO. But maybe I should do something about that. The lighting is not unfortunate in my opinion. Although we can see the sky is dark, sun did lit the scene, giving some contrast and a dramatic atmoshphere. Maybe the cut off boat is an issue. I will propose a landscape format alternative, which I have at home. By the way, you have the right to oppose (even though I would prefer the other way). - Benh (talk) 08:06, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Question Did you try to make a horizontal panorama of the place? Since here is not the main subject the Süleymaniye Mosque but also "Eminonu - Galata Bridge and fish-bread selling shops" I think that a panorama gives a better overview of this place. Ggia (talk) 08:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry I took a bit long to answer Ggia. I didn't took a panorama of it. Maybe I was too lazy to set up everything. But I have a landscape format version of it. I'm not sure if it's worth nominating it. Will try to work on it if I have time... (which I'm short on miss these days). I'm not sure if a panorama would have been a benefit, I really wanted to catch how busy it is, and at same time, have that iconic shape in the background, so this needn't being extended to the right in my opinion. Happy new year by the way!- Benh (talk) 19:54, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suleymaniye Mosque Istanbul Turkey
  •  Info created by ggia - uploaded by ggia - nominated by ggia -- Ggia (talk) 17:11, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I don't like IMC sign in the right bottom.. but it is not my fault that it is inside this photo ;) . While trying to crop over the IMC sign.. I found that the image seems too tighten cropped. This image has high EV not only because the mosque important.. and but also the surrounding social complex (buildings around the mosque) which is called Külliye in the ottoman architecture. -- Ggia (talk) 17:11, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --ComputerHotline (talk) 18:36, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose OK, although I won't ack it, I'm certainly biased because I nominated a similar shot of mine... This one has good quality, nice lighting, and I trust you on the encyclopedic point. But those leafless trees give a cold atmosphere to that picture. I'm not so keen on the composition either, with much more room given to the sky than the rest. - Benh (talk) 21:31, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info the date of the image is 25 December, and it is winter time.. so the trees are leafless.. in the composition I tried to avoid a centered composition.. so some part of the panorama to the left side has been cropped (in order the main subject - the mosque not to be in the center). Concerning the sky, I don't believe that it has too much sky for the composition not looking like vertically-centered aligned.. but if people don't like so much sky.. it is very easy technically to have a new crop with a little less sky.

View of the Burj Al Arab from Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE
That´s a good point. To be honest I am not 100% sure. I lost a lot of pictures from the UAE and have always hoped that I can keep this one because the landscape is mostly made out of simple items and the Burj Al Arab helps the composition but is a minor element. Plan B would be to include use rationale information, hopefully that is no issue for this nomination. Is there anybody who can confirm these aspects?

Aerial tramway Rote Nase, Zermatt (CH)
Ok, thanks a lot for the correction. Only a question: how did you correct the photo? -- The image isn't cropped on the top. SteGrifo27 (tell me) 19:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Open in Gimp. Select crop tool (the cutter thing), choose fixed aspect ratio of 2:3. You may need to switch to landscape. Choose crop, make sure that it is locked to the top image border and try not to cut things in half (e.g. stones, mountains or the building on the mountain in the background). When you're done, right-click, choose colors -> levels. Choose red channel from drop-down. You now see a b/w diagram, which shows the brightness distribution of the red color. On the extreme right side, it is 0. Below it, there are three sliders. Move the white one on the very right towards the left as long as the diagram shows zero. Do the same for the green and the blue channels. The snow in the image should now be white (note: this way of fixing the white balance only works well for images that have a lot of snow in them). Click ok. I also played around with colors -> curves (you might want to adjust the black point a little to make the darkest parts of the image really black) and colors -> hue/saturation (in this dialog, select the red color to give the dull red paint on the cabin a little more punch). When saving, enable preview and choose the jpeg quality such that the file size is about the same as before or a bit larger.
Note 1: If you made an RAW file, you should start again with that one and do these adjustments in your RAW import tool.
Note 2: I'm not the image manipulation expert. Don't get the idea that this is a good or even the best way to do this. It just gets the job done, more or less. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment about the B&W objection: I have talked to Hossam and he looked everywhere to see if he has a color version of this image but he couldn't find one. This this only version he has of this photo. He took it in black and white (If you look at this work, he mostly takes B&W photos, rarely colored ones). As for this image, its not same one, as you can see the mouth is a bit more open in it. Hossam has been kind kind to release some of his images so we can use them on wikipedia (even though his photos are his main income) that we wont be able to find under a free license anywhere else. As for the historical misleading issue that the B&W version might lead to, I dont think it will happen; This is picture of Golda Meir in B&W even though colored photos existed in her time. The reason Hossam takes a lot of his photos in B&W is because he feels it capture the subject much better and it shows more soul then the colored ones but that's his POV as an artist (Photography is a form of art). Some artists like to use colors while others like to draw with a pencil but they are beautiful in their own way :-) -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 11:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am also not worried about "historical misleading" - the date is clearly marked. My main issue is with the educational value, and on this issue I think art and education often diverge. It is unfortunate, but since this is a site primarily concerned with educational value, I usually oppose BW images unless there is a special reason for it. And please do not read me as saying that I do not appreciate this photographic donation, I think great portraits are essential to the wikipedias, and I am very glad Hossam licensed it freely. PS I think that coloured pic you linked to has heaps of soul!! (and would make a perfect taxobox portrait) --99of9 (talk) 12:11, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Paulus Church in Basel
 Comment -- Can you go to the same place again, but create a panorama of it? TrebleSeven (talk) 15:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What shall the panorama show? This picture is already a panorama, otherwise it would be not possible to show a 71 MP image. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:58, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The light is nice and the overal quality is very good, but I don't see what is featurable here. Even if notable church in Switzerland, I don't think this building is particularly remarkable, and it is not very beautiful nor "magic" for my taste, among other pictures of same religious buildings. The picture is technically almost flawless, but the subject is not exciting enough (IMHO). Could be a very good QI nevertheless, if the tilt cw (and the sky artefacts of course) were corrected.--Jebulon (talk) 15:40, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can not find it: where in the FPC regulation stands that the object has to be notable? This church is very a very distinguished example of historism style. But for sure a fishing boat in the greek outback is much more notable than a church. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:52, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Please learn to read. And please stop this kind of soft terror every time somebody dares to oppose one of your picture. I'm not scarred by you. I've no problem about the notability of the church, I just say I find it very ugly ! And you just opposed to the greek boat only because you are not happy of my current opinion--Jebulon (talk) 18:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • I give a measly long argument but this argument is not your contra-argument? Come one. And I opposed the boat because I already criticize that you campaigned an unsharp picture. Don't get me on my nerves. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose -- As Jebulon. High resolution and good quality (despite the unsharp angel) but little excitment. Big and correct is not necessarily beautiful and featurable.-- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:39, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose Imo a good church photo has to be taken from a certain angle, or, from the exact middle. The 'almost symmetry' of this picture is what bothers me and makes it not featurable for me, despite its correctness. I think it is a beautiful church despite previous comments. But I just don't like the angle. --Paolo Costa (talk) 22:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose oversatured (take a look to the image histogram). The underside of the airplane is to dark. You still have a dust spot on the top right. And the main: the exposure time of 1/1250s was to short. Better 1/125s - 1/500s because the propoller stands still. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a rule in FPC, that editors with more 50 edits and more than 10 days account age can vote. It is a rule in order to avoid canvassing in FPC votes. You can see your contribution here Special:Contributions/Papa_Lima_Whiskey_2, and you have around 21 edits. Make some more contributions in commons.. and you will be able to vote here. ;) Ggia (talk) 10:35, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
