Bright yellow courtyard archway with stone baskets at Palácio Nacional da Pena.
For the sake of completeness, also pinging Steppro who, together with SHB2000, opposed it. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:33, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I supported it for QI, but I don't find it a great composition. It's an interesting picture, but I think the bottom part with the baskets is the most interesting part. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:47, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support The tilt at bottom isn't really too noticeable until you look at it at full size, and I wonder if it's more subsidence of the floor. I do wish it could be a little sharper, but this is a nice mix of earth tones in a (to me) interesting composition. Daniel Case (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment SHB2000: Honestly, I am not a fan of votes based on liking and taste. You have the right to like or dislike an image, but support/opposition in FPC requires reasons beyond taste. IMHO if the effect or technique does not have a suitable result, it should be criticized from the technical aspect, not personal preferences. -- IamMM (talk) 10:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know if you're specifically nitpicking my oppose vote solely because I said "for my liking", but it would have made no difference if I had said "A bit too posterised". I stand by my vote. SHB2000 (talk) 10:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    IMO, this is still just your personal taste without having provided a posterization standard for this style of photography. There has already been a related discussion here. -- IamMM (talk) 11:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, I'll bite: what if I had replaced "posterisation" with "overprocessed"? What difference would that have made? SHB2000 (talk) 11:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It depends on how convincing the voter's explanation is. If it was only based on taste, I would still say the above points. I believe that the artistic goal of the photographer and her/his intention in using these settings should be considered. -- IamMM (talk) 12:46, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Let's take this back for a moment. If my oppose vote simply said "Too posterised"/"Too posterized" or "Too overprocessed", would you drop your battleground behaviour? Those are perfectly valid reasons for opposing a photo – you're just being acrimoniously nitpicky because I said "for my liking". Anyway, Ikan Kekek has already responded below to what I was going to say. SHB2000 (talk) 09:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I will ask the admins to take care of your offensive and disruptive behavior. These immature behaviors have no place in FPC. -- IamMM (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You're the one whose behaviour is seemingly immature, but I've made my argument on ANU. SHB2000 (talk) 08:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment No vote so far from me, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with SHB2000's oppose reasons. Posterization is a legitimate reason to oppose a nomination, and not liking it may be an insufficient reason, but it certainly suggests a lack of wow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ikan Kekek: I completely disagree with you. Votes, especially opposite votes, must be justified by common sense. This is a serious project with clear criteria, and voting based on "liking" is not one of them. If a particular user doesn't like black and white images, it doesn't mean that the reason for the opposition is justified. How did you come to the conclusion that the oppose vote here have anything to do with the lack of wow? -- IamMM (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Had he just said "It's not to my liking," I would agree that wouldn't really be sufficient to explain much, but the fact is "No wow" is acceptable, as is "Not an FP to me because x, y and z about the photo are not to my taste," though if someone simply made blanket oppose votes against all black & white photos (or all portraits, landscape photos, etc.), that would be a problem. But in any case, he says "A bit too posterised for my liking." That's completely legitimate and a normal reason to oppose considering a picture one of the greatest on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I was not convinced. You can have your opinion, but I still firmly believe that disliking posterization is not a valid reason in this case, just as it cannot be considered legitimate to disagree with a black and white art photo because of the lack of color. -- IamMM (talk) 06:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, if you want people to vote for a nomination, don't pick a fight about whether it's legitimate to oppose posterization. Most voters at FPC oppose posterization, and your pushing back about it left a bad taste in my mouth. Should I decide to vote for this photo, it won't be because I agree with your views about what constitutes legitimate opposition to declaring a photo one of the best on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:02, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will disagree with anything I think is wrong whenever necessary and you are not in a position to give advice to others in this regard, also the taste in your mouth is your problem, not mine. I will not answer you until you learn to express your opinion politely. -- IamMM (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"[Y]ou are not in a position to give advice to others in this regard, also the taste in your mouth is your problem, not mine." – well, someone's being hypocritical here... --SHB2000 (talk) 09:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment IamMM, you think I'm being impolite to say that this has left a bad taste in my mouth? Are you unfamiliar with the idiom? Otherwise, you are being absurd. There's nothing sarcastic or rude about my remark. Do you plan to complain about me at ANU, too? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • My complaint was from another user's sarcasm, but the last sentence shows that you deserved it just as much. Relax, I don't feel like playing this game anymore. Goodbye  I withdraw my nomination -- IamMM (talk) 16:31, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pink roses in a yellow Michelin tire
  •  Question Thank you very much for your constructive input, El Grafo. @Kritzolina: Maybe editing the contrast and color balance would help to enhance the photo a bit. I would do an edit at home tonight and send you the suggestion via WeTransfer. Would that be okay for you? Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 08:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ New version uploaded Great, no problem. I have edited the color balance and contrast, in addition I have gently denoised the image. Hope the result is in your sense :) Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 15:45, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree that the other one is better - for me the other one is a solid QI nothing more. I understand that all of you do not see the extra "wow" I feel this image has, but the other one definitely doesn't have it for me. --Kritzolina (talk) 06:24, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the notification, but sorry, the more I look at this picture, the more I realize that the strong smell of the rubber tire is not really compatible with that of roses, especially in a wedding. At least I would not approach my nose, personally -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A man and his donkey on the way back from the field in Aswan, Egypt
  •  Comment Nothing important ;–). In the original photo the background shows some traces of purple and garish green CAs, especially at trees and around the wagon at the right (look e.g. at the number ٥٤٥ = 545 on the wagon). The CAs are not strong, but IMHO they make the bokeh rather busy; so reducing them makes the photo a bit more harmonious. And, above all, I expected that people could oppose because of these CAs. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 08:18, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I wouldn't support the cropped version is because this content does not impress me as a picture with an extraordinary visual impact. Sorry but I don't find this particular formation awesome. Not all Google satellite captures are spectacular either, to offer a comparison. The strong contrasts are unaesthetic, and the diversity of the colors quite limited. No wow, but it is just my subjectively view, of course. If freely licensed, this image may be educational in some way, but in any case I would suggest to avoid the technically deficient collage -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sunset on the beach in Kuta, Bali

Tree canopy in relic forest. Kurdzhips Canyon, Western Caucasus.
Harsh light sounds odd here. A landscape or an object can be harsh lit under midday sun, but dense canopy which itself is diffusing, scattering, reflecting and dispersing the light, when photographed from the ground is bright at best. I would refer to tree canopies like this as 'bright and magical' but certainly not harsh lighted. Apart from the sunlight here is already subdued by scattered clouds. This place is special because not too many forest habitats are that old in the world. --Argenberg (talk) 13:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An ordinary tree does not become spectacular just because it's old, unfortunately. At least this picture does not reflect this peculiarity. Concerning the light, I maintain it's harsh, with strong contrasts. I've added notes to show were the blurry foreground is the most distracting. Too narrow depth of field. There is no visible sun rays like in File:Bruderwald-Herbst-026375.jpg for example. Not the best time of the day for shooting in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It’s a matter of taste. I find this scene spectacular with all the twists, curves, moss and old lichen. Old forests (over 300 years old) almost always do look spectacular to most people and you have to appreciate nature to find beauty in such scenes. You seem to have low tolerance for contrast. Harsh is usually associated with something undesirable like blown-out highlights or something, which is not the case here as the dynamical range is effectively preserved. The blurriness that you highlighted is natural in photography. Those are out-of-focus areas and I believe it does not have to be everything in focus in dense forest. You can play with out-of-focus areas and add them to the mix if it feels right. I don’t quite remember, but it is possible I intentionally placed those low-hanging branches in frame to grant it more depth and a spontaneous feel and to balance the composition. --Argenberg (talk) 12:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, so sorry to say that the more I look at your picture, the more the issues mentioned above embarrass me. So maybe it's not worth trying to convince me. I honestly think this image is not spectacular. Even though it is a great forest to walk through. I don't know, good for the planet, but photographically, no wow in my subjective view. Black shadows, wrong focus. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:36, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you can have your point of view and your own subjective perception. I wasn’t trying to convince you actually. It was an attempt to describe what deems limiting to me. What I forgot to mention is that out-of-focus areas in frame can also add presence (in addition to perceived depth and spontaneity) to the scene to acquire more immersive and less stagy experience/appearance. It is commonly practiced in cinematography and photography. They can also be an artistic element in the composition on its own. By the way, the shadows on the left look pleasantly dark on my display, which is professionally calibrated, not black. Yes, someone may probably find the shadows dark, but if I were to lift them the image would then loose some natural dynamics and would become flat, I guess. Thanks for comments, anyway. --Argenberg (talk) 17:07, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, lifting the shadows wouldn't be a good idea. They are originally dark, not because my screen is badly calibrated, but because the photo was taken in the middle of the day, at 13:14. Harsh light = harsh contrasts = hard shadows -- Basile Morin (talk) 17:32, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relief over the entrance on the north façade of Edificio Grassy (Gran Vía 1), Madrid
  •  Comment And adding some tentative categories really helps. After browsing Architectural elements in Madrid and the best-matching subcategories for 3 minutes, I have already learnt that this photo shows the relief over the central entrance at the north façade of the Edificio Grassy, 1 Gran Vía, built 1916–1917. Here are more photos of that building; this photo shows the north façade and we can notice the entrance with the number 1; this photo shows exactly the same relief over that entrance. I do not report this here to boast — on the contrary, I’ve never been to Madrid, I’m sure other people would have figured it out even faster. I just want to show that we can use Commons itself to indentify such photos. Now if the photographer could please clarify the caption of his nice picture and add the categories (hint: you can copy the categories of this picture almost 1:1), I would also like to vote for this photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Male barn swallow in the Montezuma Refuge
  • I wasn't ping but still have an opinion. I prefer the portrait version much better and would support it (I abstain here). By the way, is there anything you can do to improve the overexposed areas on the head? Poco a poco (talk) 08:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  New version uploaded - A few supported the portrait shot, and nobody expressed a preference for landscape, so I went ahead and reinstated the crop. As for the head, no -- not without adding something that wasn't actually there, anyway. The sun was bright, but it landed briefly unusually close to me and on a stick that actually provided some separation from the reeds (and wasn't backlit by the empty sky), so I'm happy with it anyway. :) — Rhododendrites talk12:51, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose You might be right that artefact (created by man) is the wrong word - a halo can either come from light distortion and be in the raw file or from processing - the halo on the tail looks like a processing flaw to me, but either is bad news. There are also over-exposed areas on the bird's head and the dead flowers. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:19, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Elite Women's at the Triathlon European Championships during the European Championships Munich 2022: Margaréta Bičanová (Slovakia)
It's not very clear whether the blurry background is due to the camera motion or to the limited focus length (f/2.8). Probably both. But the upper crop is very tight -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:12, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The settings were a very intentional decision. The picture should show the dynamics of the situation, a longer exposure time would simply not have worked at this point. With a shorter time the argument would have come here again that the picture is static. And f/2.8 simply has the reason that the background should be as blurred as much as possible. The face and the upper body are sharp, the legs and the wheel show the dynamics of the situation. Everything intentionally chosen this way. Sandro Halank (talk) 09:50, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sport shots frozen in a short time appear "static" only when the action is unnoticeable. Cut off heads in the background and lack of lead room reduce the dynamism -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I don't think the purpose of a set nomination is to include two images, seven minutes apart, for which you can't decide which one to nominate so just nominate both. I don't think either are exceptional. We have lots of pictures of nice buildings. The sunset one has a better sky but you underexposed it (compared to the other, 0.5 sec vs 3 sec) thus ending up a bit noisy compared to the first. I'm not over bothered about the noise but here it was preventable. Also f/11 is too small an aperture for a DX Nikon, and suggest you don't go below f/8. The picture isn't very sharp as a result. It's a fine QI but I'm not going wow for either, and all sunsets are pretty. -- Colin (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I disagree with Colin here. The noise may have been preventable, but it does not ruin the image overall. The building and the sunset together to give a charming impression, hence the wow factor. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The image on the right has the most wow-factor for me. I agree with Colin though that an aperture of f/8 might have been better to create a sharper image (I'm not a Nikon shooter and don't know the specific lens you used, so please feel free to disagree if I'm wrong). I also don't really see why you nominated a set. Overall, the wow-factor is sufficient for me to support this nomination. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose No reason for this to be a set nomination, sorry. I would support the photo on the right if it was nominated by itself. BigDom (talk) 06:18, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not a set according to the rules; not even the identical PoV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Unsure about the set rules, but support for both photos. The detail level is decent, the atmosphere is great. (In general the tip to stop at ƒ/8 on DX = APS-C cameras is very good, just as ƒ/11 is in general the last sensible aperture on full-frame cameras. But as Frank has intimated this is also a question of the lens used: if the lens has a really strong field curvature, a smaller aperture can still yield better results.) --Aristeas (talk) 08:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Colin. -- Karelj (talk) 10:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support preferably for the second photo, but still the first one offers enough WOW factor to support the set, imo. The used lens 18.0-55.0 mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 is part of the 3X00 series kit. -- Radomianin (talk) 10:40, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose just too similar to be a set. No prejudice against individual nomination(s). — Rhododendrites talk20:25, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and Southwest Asia
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Mammals/Carnivora#Family : Felidae (Felids)
  •  Info The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and Southwest Asia (today restricted to central Iran). It is the fastest land animal, capable of running at 80 to 98 km/h (50 to 61 mph), as such has evolved specialized adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail. It typically reaches 67–94 cm (26–37 in) at the shoulder, and the head-and-body length is between 1.1 and 1.5 m (3 ft 7 in and 4 ft 11 in). Adults weigh between 21 and 72 kg (46 and 159 lb). Its head is small and rounded, with a short snout and black tear-like facial streaks. The coat is typically tawny to creamy white or pale buff and is mostly covered with evenly spaced, solid black spots. Four subspecies are recognised. -- 20 upper 08:14, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done, thank you. --Trougnouf (talk) 19:37, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Too much editing of original. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:07, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Beautiful, evoking mythological reminiscences, as Basile rightly stated, and certainly something fresh. I have no problem with the retouching as long as it’s declared and serves a honourable purpose. --Aristeas (talk) 20:24, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How do you mean -honourable purpose? The picture was poorly composed; it could easily have been taken a few meters away. Should we allow that much cloning? It is a difficult area, but we run the risk of making the original composition irrelevant. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually if you look a few meters away in the uncropped version you will notice that it was in the shadows and that this spot was pretty ideal (minus a hanging dead tree). Besides, even though we spent some time in front of the tripod, we were moving and not focusing on it when the picture was taken and the emotions we felt at that moment is what I think is FP worthy. I also think that this composition works very well. Trougnouf (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Removing a background element to make an image look better for aesthetical purposes is honourable; manipulating an image in order to back up fake news (e.g. that an elephant has climbed the Eiffel tower, that Jesus Christ blessed Putin or that Biden did steal the last presidential election from Trump) is not honourable. --Aristeas (talk) 09:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's exactly what it looks like, which makes the composition unnatural. Which loving couple puts some cloth around the woman's waist, while the man is properly naked? Therefore I've decided to  oppose --Palauenc05 (talk) 02:50, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's her decision not the couple's. She wanted some publishable pictures where no one's genitalia are visible, so she used it in some pictures and not others, I had it on in some pictures as well, we used each other too, and we have a lot of pictures which will be censored or not shared at all. I would like her to be even more comfortable with public nudity and I would especially like for society to accept it. I am happy that she is already this open. You are entitled to your clothing preferences but concluding whether two people make a loving couple based on one's clothing choices is silly. Trougnouf (talk) 05:32, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Picture I liked that took of this bridge back in January. Shot this on a Mamiya 7 with Portra 400 and then scanned it digitally -- I think the film definitely provided some interesting, yet still accurate, colors I couldn't get from my DSLR. It was a beautiful sunset. Would love to hear what y'all think. -- wclarke 02:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Thanks for nominating your shot! I really like the colors. I also like the Portra 400 film grain – we don't have many people these days who nominate film shots. However, you might consider applying some noise correction in post. The compositional weight is a bit too heavy on the right for my taste, but that's easy to correct with a tighter crop on the left. I'm always thrilled when people post their photos here who're not part of the same group of old regulars. So, please feel free to nominate more images! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support  Neutral Great analog capture whose film grain is charming. From time to time I still take pictures with my old Praktica LTL2. When the photo prints are ready, I'm all the more pleased with a successful shot. This increases the appreciation for a single image.  Comment In the lower quarter of the image, a part of the water surface is blurred. This may be a post-processing mistake that can be fixed. -- Radomianin (talk) 06:53, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Additional comment I'm very sorry, as long as the blurry area in the bottom quarter is not fixed, I'm changing my vote to Neutral to be on the safe side. Dear WClarke, I hope you receive the ping: Fixing the above mentioned presumed post-processing mistake would be great to save this nomination. Many thanks in advance for your efforts. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 19:05, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Indeed. I love this photo and would love to vote for it, but there is an abrupt transition between sharp and unshap in the foreground water, as spotted by Radomianin. I have tried to mark the right border with an image note. As this is very likely a post-procession mistake, it should be possible to fix this. Please give it a try, this great photo deserves some extra work. --Aristeas (talk) 08:28, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Coral (Danafungia scruposa), Red Sea, Egypt
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals#Class_:_Anthozoa
  •  Info Coral (Danafungia scruposa), Red Sea, Egypt. They are around 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in diameter and normally eat a variety of food from bacteria to mesozooplankton measuring 1 mm in diameter, although researchers observed the coral consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita. This was the first time such behaviour has been seen in the wild and it's not known how the coral captures jellyfish. Its polyps have diameters of up to 24 centimetres (9.4 in) and are oval or circular. D. scruposa is found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, the eastern central, northwestern and western central Pacific Ocean, Japan, the East China Sea, the Red Sea, and eastern Australia. It's found at depths between 1 and 27 metres (3 ft 3 in and 88 ft 7 in) on the slopes of reefs. Note: we have no FPs of the whole family Fungiidae. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:25, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I see purple CA as halos on top of the right and left side of the coral. I'm not promising a vote if it's corrected, but it should be corrected if I'm not mistaken in what I'm seeing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Thanks. I think it's unfortunate that you couldn't get more of the coral in your depth of field, but enough of it is quite sharp and detailed at life size to deserve a feature, I think. If the nomination doesn't succeed, it would certainly be likely to be a fine VI. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:26, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maxima clam (Tridacna maxima), Red Sea, Egypt
  • Can you elaborate what you mean with "better", Tagooty? I appreciate lots of detail here for example Poco a poco (talk) 17:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    To me, the existing FP has better lighting and striking colours. It pops out at me even at review size. At full size, it is clearer. The nominated image has a distracting shadow at the top and is less clear. Hence, IMO it is not good enough to be promoted as a second FP of this clam. Tagooty (talk) 03:35, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose This is my first time voting against corals, clams, or other items in that area, and I'm sorry for doing so but I find the image unimpressive and wouldn't even consider it a quality image. 20 upper 14:44, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Diego, perhaps you withdrew too soon? I do agree with you at least on detail, there are details on this 42MP image that are absent from the 12MP one (of course, the larger image is softer at 100%, but that's not how one should compare acutance and resolution). One question though: the colours are significantly different between the two images, is that due to different lighting conditions or different approaches to white balance correction? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:32, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Julesvernex2 well, I don't know whether I should have waited longer. Nobody stepped in until you did, 3 days later. And still, getting the first 2 votes as opposes makes it almost impossible to achive a successful nom. Comparing the images I think that the WB can be adjusted a bit to make it warmer, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that the tone is similar, as the spectrum of colors of this clam species is very wide.

Calafuria nature reserve, with a view of the Castello del Boccale
  •  Comment Looking again, it's at least quite close to FP quality. But is there any way you might be able to borrow a better camera? You have a very artistic sensibility and would benefit from better equipment. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:04, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    My art is born in an instant, my photos are "carpe diem" seize the moment. I have a busy life and even if I had better equipment, maybe at the moment of my inspiration I didn't bring it with me, but my smartphone is always in my bag.It is a great satisfaction for me to have managed to convey something beautiful. Thank you with all my heart. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 08:15, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It has 6 supporting votes vs. 3 opposing votes, so it could be as likely to pass as fail. But I'm going to share something with you. When I was in college, a placement audition I did as part of a routine procedure at the beginning of a semester was once criticized in the following way: I was told that in professional auditions, the judges look for someone who can play every note accurately, in rhythm, and with all the correct dynamics and articulations, and then they look for something extra. The judge said: "You have the something extra, but you don't always play the notes accurately. Why don't you practice more?" In that instance, the problem was not that my equipment was less than professional (in fact, I still use the same instruments today as a professional), but that I wasn't taking the placement exams seriously enough as practice for professional auditions, but I think there is an analogy to be made, so I would say to you: You have that something extra, but on FPC, we also count execution. Yes, it's really useful to have a cellphone at the ready. I take a lot of cellphone photos, but I have yet to upload any of them to Commons, because I have not yet figured out things like how to do perspective correction on an iPhone. Your cellphone photos are very good, but I believe that someone at your level of artistry deserves to have more professional equipment to develop further capabilities and be able to take more photos that are clearly among the very best on the site. I know in the past, Wikipedia societies in several countries have lent professional cameras to photographers who needed them for professional development. Are you sure you are uninterested in that? I'd like to think it's still possible for someone who's already developed a lot, as I believe you have, based on the work you've submitted. Note that I have no personal knowledge of whether these kinds of activities are still occurring, nor how they work, but those, anyway, are my thoughts. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:06, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for sharing your experience, I'll share mine too. I well understood that I need better equipment, but for the moment I have no intention of buying or borrowing from someone, as these are such delicate things that I don't want them to break and then have to pay them back. Having said that, every now and then I allow myself to nominate FP when the photos convey particular emotions, especially when it comes to capturing particular lights, like the one on the bush from the right. About 20 years ago I started taking photographs precisely for the sake of immortalizing light. It happened that my mother became blind due to a rare disease, she could only perceive great flashes of light, and so I, at the time young, identified with her and realized how lucky I was to be able to see all the beauty of the world and of nature, I imagined how terrible it would be not to be able to see anymore, and since then I have tried, although a camera is not as powerful as a human eye, to capture all the nuances of light. For over 20 long years I have been my mother's eyes, daily, my eyes have seen for me and for her. I tell this so that you can understand the origin of my sensitivity, which seems like art, but it was an emotional journey. And I get excited when those who don't know me can understand. It means that through a photo I can convey emotions.Thank you. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 13:11, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
