A light blue fishing hut in a small cluster of similar buildings near the pier in Nørre Vorupør
  • Sorry Ikan, no sky available. The huts were on a slope beneath the sand dunes and some other houses and boats, just to the right of this. The photo was taken top down from a small observation deck close by and had I made the photo just a little wider it would only included other houses, traffic signs, flags and people. Zooming in on this little area I managed to get a tranquil, pleasant shot in pastels in an otherwise rather busy place. --cart-Talk 09:24, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Gate, Serbia (left) and Romania (right)
  • Much better, thank you. I like this picture and will reflect on whether I consider it an FP, as I haven't decided yet. I think the fact that you have the road with the stone cubes and the hewn rock in shadow as part of the foreground helps the composition considerably, as it isn't all in hazy light. That might make the difference. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Animals do not pose, and for taking a picture of a night bird, there is no option but flashing. --Yann (talk) 07:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I agree with Yann. Sure, we could get some well lit photos of this species during daytime in a zoo, but there is definitely a plus to get a good photo of one in its natural habitat and a flash is the only way. The blackness is not a problem either, it's what you usually get at night in a nature reserve and if someone put a camera flash on me while I was busy hunting down my dinner, I would look startled and awkward too. --cart-Talk 09:18, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Jee 11:07, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Peer Juliancolton and if this period is prolonged, logically, the bird is blinded for an extended moment and is vulnerable to danger as it cannot see well enough to respond to its environment. Many strigids and other nocturnal birds are highly dependent on sight, so a temporary lost of sight might be costly, or even life-threatening (due to depredation). Likewise, a night-bird blinded by the flashes, whether by birder’s torches or photographers flashes, are essentially “wasting” time for foraging and other natural behavior. This might have some ecological implication that we don’t know exist, that directly affects the birds negatively, perhaps in lowered prey capture success, leading to nest failure?, or got killed by arboreal predators.. etc. Having said that, there is still a small chance that the bird may react unexpectedly and hurt itself. IMHO “The subject is more important than the photo” more info --The Photographer 19:46, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support There is no evidence that one or two (close) flashes cause any damage to nocturnal animals' eyesight. This is a nice photo. I would crop at right and ideally leave more room at the top. Charles (talk)

  • Martin, I didn't go for this since, even if I like these long exposures, I like some substance in the water all the same. Like in this. I also followed Partick Smith some years ago and his water pics are usually more "tangible". Here the water looks too strange, like it is evaporating or if there is a methane gas leak nearby.

Ice cave on lake Baikal
"IIII-ci-cle! IIII-ci-cle! / I want to like the icicles; I want them to look right" Daniel Case (talk) 05:05, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment KennyOMG, W.carter, according to the EXIF, the highlights have been recovered as much as is possible. Although red/green values read 0xFF in the JPG, imo it isn't really that important unless there (a) it is reasonable to expect an 8-bit JPG to record that tonal range from ice cave to direct sunlight and (b) there's any interesting detail that has been lost. I think all we have here is some white featureless clouds in that portion, with the sun lighting them behind, and I'd rather they render brightly on my monitor than artificially reduced to paper white in order to have a more acceptable HEX value :-). The EXIF also show the exposure has been lifted considerably, showing that the photographer "exposed for the highlights" as much as they could. The darker cave has possibly been selectively brightened, further raising noise levels. I agree that some noise reduction on the cave (but not the central portion) would improve things. A vertical perspective adjustment of -40 together with a scale of 90 will fix the sloping verticals and retain as much image as possible, though there is some loss of the upper corners as a result. -- Colin (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reflection of a tree in koi pond.
  • Seb26, the thing that struck me enough to make me take this photo was how much the wavy reflection of the tree really looked like the way water is often depicted in stylized Japanese prints, not the serenity. Examples: 1 2 3 4. I also realize that these patterns may not be known to everyone so the connection may be lost then. If this was shot in the evening it would only be a dark photo of a koi pond. --cart-Talk 14:35, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Landscape showing the Addax of the National park of Bouhedma and a tree of "Vachellia (Acacia in french)raddiana" (the second tree from the left) I think that it is featurable due to the waves of mountain behind and how the Addax is looking ... It was rejected as QI because only the Addax is sharp : IMHO the landscape photography permit some imperfection

Cherry blossom buds
  • Thanks Ikan, it is always fascinating to see how things really look when you see them very close up. The photo was nominated at QIC at the same time it was nominated here and it is now a QI. You can always see if a pic has been nominated by scrolling down on the file's page and see under "File usage on Commons". If it is already nominated, 'Commons:Quality images candidates' will appear there even if it hasn't been promoted yet. --cart-Talk 08:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • For a VI, I think the cropped version would be better since it shows the buds better at thumb, this is a more artistic take on the twig. Anyway, I don't do noms for VI anymore since I always seems to get the scope or some other part of the nom wrong. ;) It is a rather confusing section of Commons. --cart-Talk 09:16, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - The video is playing for me, and it's very valuable and something I'd usually vote to feature without a second thought. However, there is some unfortunate distortion in some frames that I would like to be edited out, unless it's somehow on my end, in which case, I may not be able to fairly judge this video. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:54, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I can watch it (and I like what I've seen so far). But what I see at this nomination is just the play button floating over this ... no thumbscene. I think that's what Yann is talking about. Daniel Case (talk) 04:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mausoleum of Emir Ali, Shiraz, Iran
  • I see your point, but I think we're so overwhelmed by the beauty of this interior that the crop of the devotee doesn't much matter to us. One of the things I've noticed in looking at some really good paintings is that painters were not concerned about cropping the way many judges at FPC are. The totality of the picture deserves a feature, IMO. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:22, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Church of Mirafuentes, Navarre, Spain
  •  Neutral Great mood but the quality is modest for an image of modest (14 MP) resolution with no mitigating factors (the bricks on the building are a bit smudged). -- King of 04:49, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose I really liked that dramatic scene, but the quality of the building definitely is not of FP level. The best example of poor quality is that middle building with a roof (just look how blurry is its left wall). Bricks also look quite blurry in other parts of the building. -- Pofka (talk) 11:53, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's kind of the point of the clock, to be able to see which entry it is pointing at. Here the pointer is positioned over text that is in shadow, and the lack of sharpness at that part of the photo adds to the problem. -- Colin (talk) 14:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Baptism of Christ (Verrocchio & Leonardo)

  • Mile I do not understand what you are talking about. Make examples or make notes, so generic reviews are not very useful. The hands are there and are whole, I cut an INFINITE part of the arms because it was black and there was shade, I honestly do not understand what you think I have cut, kindly let me see thank you. --LivioAndronico (talk) 18:57, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - You're right. I've struck my support vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Ikan Kekek If you are not sure of something not to do it, you often change your mind, honestly if you do not vote (positively of course) my photos, I would feel lighter. Of course you can oppose when you want, but in favor it would be best to avoid so you do not take the risk of changing your mind because of your insecurity, thank you.--LivioAndronico (talk) 19:02, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think I owe an explanation for striking my support vote. The reason is obvious from the context. It feels a little strange to be asked not to support your photos if I feel like doing so. I'm not inclined to accede to such a request. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:09, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's very simple: I liked the picture, but when it was pointed out that it was missing a part of the top, I saw that. It has nothing to do with not being convinced: I simply hadn't noticed that the picture wasn't complete until that was pointed out. So what's your tip? To notice everything the first time or to ignore information I hadn't noticed if someone points it out? Either way, thanks but no thanks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:13, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do what I prefer for my photos, after more than 100 featureds I think I understand something, then if it is "boycotted" as you say, I do not care. The important thing is that one knows what he does and does not change his mind at every wind change, thank you.--LivioAndronico (talk) 09:15, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CIVIL WAR BROADSIDE
  • I initially thought so, and I did think it was poor that it was nominated with attribution given to the printer's press. But in the state that the file page is in now, after my changes with a proper author according to a reference and a more appropriate description, I believe it is good to go. As for the resolution issue: the OhioLink version I mentioned above... the resolution appears to be slightly lower, and the scan (to me) looks of lower quality, it is not quite as focused and sharp as our current version. (It sort of goes against what I am used to expecting...that libraries and commons have higher resolution works than random online websites, but alas the physical broadside itself is being sold privately so it follows.)

Christian, I uploaded a new version with more clarity and reduced color temperature. I uploaded a separate file in HD format as I've no confidence to change the composition here now. (Will revert if new version is not good.) Jee 17:45, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks you Jee, I prefear the cropped version, but the contrast is improved IMO in all cases. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@W.carter: this is Jee version Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:25, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ooopps! I read the names hastily and looked only at the pictures so I got the faulty impression that this was Christian's version. My bad. Thanks for correcting me. Still like the warmer original best though with the original crop, but any one of those deserves a feature. --cart-Talk 18:46, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks cart for your suggestions. Though warm colors may more pleasing, I think it makes the white parts of the wings too a bit yellow which reduces the visibility of the real golden yellow colors around those black dots. I know it is painful to touch a nomination after this much supports. If one more person make a complaint I will revert the original to the initial warm tones. :) Jee 03:09, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Mild  Oppose - I have a lot of trouble deciding on this nomination. If the colors were more vivid or perhaps the light were a bit more intense, I might feel impelled to vote for a feature. More pinpoint focus at full size could help sway me, too. But I guess if someone put a gun to my head and demanded a decision, I'd go with "not outstanding enough to feature", whereupon my mild opposition.

taú Cultural, Avenida Paulista, Brazil
About the artwork on the wall, it's a permanent exposition and pages from Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (English: Brazilian Natural History), originally written in Latin, is the first scientific book about Brazil, written by Dutch naturalist Willem Piso and published in 1648 (PD-old). Also, I applied a barrel distortion fix, let me know if it's ok for you. Thanks --The Photographer 11:57, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Glad the artwork is ok. However, it is just too wonky and the left side appears to have some copy/paste cloning going on above the lift door. There's barely a straight line. I'd be ok with that if this was a fisheye lens but I'm not sure what we're seeing here. The red clothes and legs is also distracting. I'm suspecting this is a stiched-handheld photo, and you really need to get that pano head to do this to FP standard. -- Colin (talk) 13:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's a striched image and I haven't a fisheye lens. BTW Yes, I will buy that nodal ninja this year, however, I'm asking for somebody that only will travel in six months --The Photographer 13:42, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - It's a very good and appealing composition, IMO. Colin's concerns about copyright are well taken, but I don't know how or whether they should be addressed at FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ikan I don't think it generally should be extensively discussed at FP, but I think that images with any doubt might be worth getting checked at DR before nominating here. Our "finest" work does have to genuinely be free. -- Colin (talk) 08:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. But since it's already nominated here, I think the recourse is the same, anyway: A nomination at DR. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would think this would be kept in a DR as per COM:DM. The stairs are the focus with the walls of images being incidental and unavoidable where the stairs don't block them. None of the pictures on the wall is big enough to extract a workable copy. They may also be PD-old-XX as The Photographer states below. Daphne Lantier 02:51, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    ✓ Done Thanks King of, please, take a look and tell me if it's ok for you --The Photographer 11:57, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately I have to  Oppose barring a substantial improvement in the stitching. If you compare the old and new versions superimposed on each other, you see that only part of the image has been modified, suggesting that it was corrected manually, which is error-prone. There is now a kink in the curve of the ceiling, which doesn't seem to have been there in reality. Meanwhile, the curved pictures on the right are still not fixed. -- King of 04:30, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to define three things. 1) The striched image was handmade as well 2) The paintings on the wall are not aligned because severals artworks have a different size from the others. 3) With respect to reality, only a lens 50 mm FF should show a "human view like it's reality", a striched image is a human creation impossible to see through the eyes because the vision angle (wide) and because the distortion. Thanks for your comments, for me this kind of technical comments are very important to me and I respect them a lot. I promise to take them into account as much as possible --The Photographer 11:39, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate it is hard, and I've spent many hours myself trying to fix up handheld stitched interiors, and had my failures too (Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Foreign and Commonwealth Office - Durbar Court.jpg). The standard for interiors is pretty high at FP. This is also challenging subject as it appears to be quite a small space. -- Colin (talk) 12:07, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your result is excellent and I think that with a corners distortion fix it could be improved. It is difficult for me to give an opinion especially because I consider you superior in knowledge in these subjects, however, btw the problem is barrel distortion, when pulling in a very wide amount of information from off axis, light gets distorted based on how extreme of an angle it is coming in at because the lens can't completely correct for how far off the lens axis the light is. Line bending is just a characteristic of lenses that wide- and many people use them to achieve that effect. It becomes a problem when one uses them to accommodate smaller APS-C sensors: if one goes wide enough to get the compositon one needs, it often results in unwanted distortion. In your case, my sugestion is reshape with Photoshop's liquify tool or Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin but this requires a great deal of skill and time. You can see a example on this original and the result, in this case Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin --The Photographer 12:35, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I make sure I turn on Lightroom's "Lens profile correction" before exporting files for stitching. That should mean any lens distortion is extremely low for all my lenses other than the fisheye. Remaining distortion is then the result of the projection chosen. But with handheld panos (or where a proper calibrated panoramic head isn't used) then the parallax errors add their own distortions as the algorithms assume the frames are all taken from a source point. Using SmartBlend is better at hiding these but sometimes the errors are so large that the stitching program makes the scene too distorted. I don't think liquify is the best solution, and the edit made to this file seems too crude and not really fixing the problem. I'll look at your snow pictures later. Another solution, for small rooms, is to abandon attempting a flat image but take a 360° panorama that one can move about it. Not sure your bank would be happy with that, though :-). -- Colin (talk) 12:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose per Daniel. There's also some obtrusive unsharp foreground that I find distracting, and I have a preference for at least what the bird is immediately standing on looking realistic, though others wouldn't care. I think the bird is not that far from FP quality, as it is pretty sharp throughout, though noisy. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:07, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I uploaded a new version with noise reduction and a slight crop to achieve a cleaner foreground. Personally I tend not to bother with noise too much on high resolution images as you barely zoom in 1:1 where it becomes obvious & you loose a bit of sharpeness. C-M (talk) 06:36, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm still not ready to support this photo for FP, but I've struck my opposing vote. I've seen clearer birds at FPC, but this is a large file for a bird photo, it's a nice bird, and I like that we can see its body from its head to its feet. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:09, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not sharp enough compared to e.g. File:Common Redshank Tringa totanus.jpg. I'm surprised at the noise levels as ISO 560 shouldn't be that high for a D500, but I see from the EXIF that the exposure has been lifted 1.4ev and a +25 dehaze is a lot and that does tend to add lots of noise. Maybe more luck in brighter light conditions. Btw, CM, most folk support their own picture nominations. You're posting here, so we assume you think it FP. -- Colin (talk) 11:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I had an other go with the Lightroom Sliders which reduced the noise an other time (less EV+, bit of Highlight, no Dehaze, less sharpening) Compared to the existing picture: The light situation is definitively not compareable, my picture has been taken about half an hour before sunset which gives more muted contrasts and softer shaddows, something I prefer over strong daylight. I could probably have gotten more sharpness by going to F8 with a higher ISO, but that would have increased the noise even further. In terms of texture I prefer my feathers, the existing picture has a strange effect where only the tips are sharp and everything else looks rather mushy - any Ideas how that happened? To much denoise with masking on strong edges? Anyway: I highliy appreciate your comments as they give an other perspective, I only started taking bird photography more seriously very recently and still learn and try to improve my technique. C-M (talk) 19:59, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm no bird expert. Try User:Charlesjsharp for advice on technique as he's nominated quite a few. I agree the light may be photogenically better at this hour (I do like the colours and composition and action, per Yann, which often is lacking in our "bird species identification" photos), but it is also a problem wrt achieving a low noise / fast shutter. I find high noise can really reduce the sharpness when one is looking closely (though absolutely fine for small "for the web" sized images). But so can using a lens wide-open or having too slow a shutter. It is not easy to balance these. I presume your lens has OIS, though from my experience (and from reviews) that seems to increase one's chances of a sharp-enough image rather than being reliable, so taking many shots could improve your chances of a sharp image. If the bird is fast moving, 1/500s might not be fast enough. The two pictures aren't completely comparable, though I downsized yours a little to make a farer comparison, and the other one still looked sharper. Sharpness isn't everything, if you have a great image, and in the past many of our bird photos were heavily downsized, which hides these flaws. Btw, best to ping me if you reply as I don't always re-look at nominations I've voted on. -- Colin (talk) 11:18, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Others know much more about processing than I do, though it is clear than NR has reduced definition on this image. I'm surprised you have tried 1/500 with a 600mm lens without a tripod. That and F5.6 are going to make life difficult. When I'm lying on the ground, I find it difficult to keep the camera super still, even with it resting on something and always use IS lenses. Evening light can look great, but it will cost you several stops. For mammals, evening light works well, but for a bird portrait, you are not going to get such a good result. The ISO setting is not the problem here - up to ISO800 should be fine. Charles (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It can seems strange that we accept noise in night photos because of technical limitations, but not in aerial photos due to other technical limitations. Btw (sidebar), the development of drone photography seems not to lie in making bigger drones to carry larger cameras, but rather going the other way. New drones are smaller but with better software. They can be programmed to fly in grid patterns, taking lots of images that are stitched together into panoramas. There is also the technique where a host of small drones fly in formation and are synced to perform tasks such as compiling photos into a large image, (or just looking pretty). --cart-Talk 09:21, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - I (mis?)understand that you consider this entire category of photographs unfeaturable, regardless of composition, but my observation would be that whereas the photo you linked has a random composition to my eyes (I hope it's not insulting to say that, as it does have some very good qualities, including the way shades of light are captured on the leaves), in this photo, the trees all appear to meet in the middle, where there is a narrow space of sky. So I would submit that the composition of this photo is vastly superior, which might make your comparison nearly irrelevant except to anyone who agrees with you(? sorry if I've misunderstood) that a view looking up to the sky amidst the trees is per se unfeaturable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment - Just a little hint concerning perspective geometry: If you look along the direction of parallel objects, they can't do anything but appear to meet in infinity - in the so called 'vanishing point'. Nonetheless: it needs someone to see and picture it. --PtrQs (talk) 23:05, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, and they have to be there. I do know a bit about vanishing points, as my father was a painter and a professor and lecturer of some note. Perspective was never my strong point, though. I understand the arabesque, and I understand foreshortening, but I couldn't make the kinds of geometric perspective diagrams my father did with his hands in front of a painting we were looking at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:08, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question - Is the light really that strange? You all are photographers who look closely at light all the time, so I have to respect your reactions, but I find them surprising because I feel like I've seen and experienced light like this on some cloudy days. I think there must be some unusual issue in the white balance that's putting you all off and not fazing me at all. But I feel like it can't be that far off, or it would bother me, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The lighting and composition don't work for me. The cloud covering most of the left side and extending 2/3 of the way to the right interacts poorly with the tree branches at the left in my opinion. It would also be better if the scene were brighter overall (in terms of the quality of light; this is not something that can be fixed by brightening the image in post). To answer Ikan's point, I think the problem is that shadows were pushed too much; I think the scene looked darker in reality. -- King of 05:53, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Baikal ice on sunset

The Photographer, I've added a note on the photo (I'll remove it later). Up here in the north we actually do a lot of car racing on the frozen lakes. Here is a drone film of some cars having a bit of fun on a Swedish lake. There are also organized races and the big car manufacturers come here every winter to test their new car models, this is big business here for many small towns. According to the national safety instructions here, the ice should be at least 10 cm for a person, 15-20 cm for a normal car and 30 cm for a heavy car with passengers. --cart-Talk 18:37, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

High Trestle Trail Bridge at night
  • I never understood this "do-not-cut-into-x" thing. On this pic it flows naturally, and not having the whole frame makes it more intimate, like somehow you're "in it". Imho. -- KennyOMG (talk) 15:04, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
See Colin's !vote below. For me, maybe it's because I'm as tall as I am, but seeing things like that hanging just over the view line almost makes me duck so I won't bang my head into them ... Daniel Case (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose It's a great bridge and very photogenic. The photo has been heavily processed, with sharpening halos and a noisy sky resulting from this. Also the crop is not optimal IMO, with the upper bars distracting the eye from the tunnel effect (it's supposed to be like a mine tunnel). The image is also taken off centre, yet the middle of the tunnel/bridge is central so it looks off. I uploaded a crop with some NR applied: File:High Trestle Trail Bridge, Madrid, Iowa, United States (Unsplash F9o7u-CnDJk) CropNR.jpg, but there's no way to undo some of the issues with the processing without the raw file. -- Colin (talk) 17:07, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Protests opposing Venezuelan Bolivarian Revolution in Avenida Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil
Take pictures in Venezuela protest in Venezuela was the more dangerous that I did in my life. At my side were friends who worked for the major news agencies with bulletproof vest and helmets with a marked green cross. I totally agree that these photos do not have the historical value that a photo in Venezuela at the moment, these protests outside of Venezuela are made around the world every day at the same time as part of international pressure to open a humanitarian channel and thus send medicine and food. BTW, this photo is on Paulista Avenue, the most important avenue in Brazil, there has been protesting for 50 days, it is possible without any danger in Brazil because it is a democratic country. I am doing paperwork to solve a problem with my passport so I can take photos of what is happening there and visit my family after four years. --The Photographer 11:49, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Male large vagrant butterfly (Nepheronia argia argia) on hibiscus flower in Ghana
  •  Support the specimen is sharp and I like the red-green contrast. Could you reduce the noise a bit though? --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 02:49, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - The butterfly is certainly very well photographed, especially the eye, but I don't find it that interesting or beautiful to look at. Instead, I want the flower to be the subject, but since that's not the photographer's intention, it's soft.

View from the summit of Saratsa in the Andia mountain range. Navarre, Spain
  • File:Lizarraga - Saratsa - Paisaje 01.jpg is the black & white version, and I prefer that picture, not mainly because of the crop but mainly because the entire appearance makes more of an impact on me. I think part of my reaction is that the lighted white rocks are more emphasized in gray scale. Of course it's a tradeoff, because you sacrifice the greenery, but I'd support a substitution of the black & white picture in this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:39, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I prefer the B&W version too but I wanted to nominate some colour image here (instead of mainly B&W pictures). These partially sun-lit beeches with its fresh green leaves are interesting, too. This image is well accepted here, so I won't change the nomination at this stage.

A pigeon near Sphinxes in St. Petersburg
  • Category: Columbidae
  •  Info created by Chan-Fan on May 19, 2017 - uploaded by Chan-Fan - nominated by Chan-Fan
    This photo was taken in Saint Petersburg on May 19, 2017 during a walk along the Universitetskaya Embankment. A pigeon is sitting near the Egyptian Sphinx, which is about 3500 years old and was brought to St. Petersburg from Luxor (Thebes). Inscriptions at the stone (see photo) were never decrypted. -- Chan-Fan 22:19, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support -- Chan-Fan 22:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - I fixed the category: It's Columba livia, the Latin name for the rock dove; the family Columbidae is too wide a category. And I oppose because although you have a good motif, I find this picture inferior to FP pigeon portraits such as File:Pigeon portrait 4861.jpg, which is a head-and-neck shot, File:Rock Pigeon Columba livia.jpg and File:Fonte Gaia - she wolf detail.jpg, which focuses on the Lupa Senese on the Fonte Gaia as much as on the pigeon. In this photo, the Sphinx is a nice background element but not the subject; it's merely what the pigeon is sitting on. The pigeon is pretty, but the parts of him (?) we see are mostly in shadow and come out as noisy/unsharp at full size. Granted, full size is a lot bigger in your photo than in the other ones I'm comparing it to. But in general, we like our bird portraits very clear at FPC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The midnight sun during polar day near the lake Ozhogino, the Sakha Republic, Russia

  • Виктор Габышев, in case you are using Google Translate, "CAs" are "chromatic aberrations". As sunlight has many components, I'm not recognizing chromatic aberrations in the rays of sunlight on the ice, but there are many regulars here who have a much keener eye for chromatic aberration than I do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:56, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
+1 to that. The CA is the purple/green kind, visible on the ice fragments near the bottom (Wow, I don't remember Ivvavik being this wintry-looking at the same latitude and almost the same time of year a year earlier!

Thanks for doing the edits. Your version looks more normal, but I'm wondering if it's really impossible for midnight sun to sometimes have a purple tint to it.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural/Italy
  •  Info Lake Bracciano (Italian: Lago di Bracciano) is a lake of volcanic origin in the Italian region of Lazio, 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Rome. It is the second largest lake in the region (second only to Lake Bolsena) and one of the major lakes of Italy. It has a circular perimeter of approximately 32 km (20 mi). Its inflow is from precipitation runoff and percolation, and from underground springs, and its outflow is the Arrone.The lake owes its origin to intense volcanic activity from 600,000 to 40,000 years before present, which created many small volcanoes in the Sabatino territory. The main magma chamber was situated under the present lake of Bracciano. Its collapse created the caldera now occupied by the lake, which is a crater lake. Some small craters are still recognisable around the lake and in the immediate vicinity.The lake is an important tourist attraction situated near Rome. As it serves as a drinking water reservoir for the city of Rome it has been under control since 1986 in order to avoid pollution of its waters. The use of motorboats is strictly forbidden (exceptions being made for a few professional fisherman and the authorities), and a centralised sewer system has been built for all the bordering towns in order to avoid any spoiling of the water quality. This makes Bracciano one of the cleanest lakes of Italy. The absence of motorized navigation (apart from police boats) favours sailing, canoeing and swimming.In the last few years the lake and its surroundings have been brought under further protection by the creation of a regional park, the Parco Regionale del complesso lacuale di Bracciano Martignano.Under Pope Paul V, water was brought from Lake Bracciano to the Trastevere region of Rome and (via the Ponte Sisto) to the Rione of Regola.

Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague
  •  Info During the more than three centuries in which it was in active use, the cemetery continually struggled with the lack of space. Piety and respect for the deceased ancestors does not allow the Jews to abolish old graves. For this reason, twelve layers of graves now exist, giving the cemetery the shape of a flat hill. As new levels were added it was necessary either to lay over the gravestones associated with the older (and lower) graves to protect them, or else to elevate the stones to the new, higher surface. --Uoaei1 (talk) 10:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
