  •  Support nice composition, would be nice to have a picture of the changing colours during the night, too --Mbdortmund 20:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Dull colors, main subject too small. Yann 10:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Stirling Falls, Milford Sound, New Zealand (new proposition after colour balance) --Sting 00:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support interesting enough, IMHO --Mbdortmund 22:56, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Interesting but too noisy. Lycaon 08:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose This is taken from the front of a launch nosing into a 189 metre waterfall, so it's a very difficult shot. I've been there and there's a heck of a lot of water flying around in this place. My own photo is an unworthy comparison. On the other hand it does appear to have gained some noticeable noise, particularly on the right underneath the mossy patch, when compared against the original image, and a white balance adjustment should be able to do better than that. --Karora 12:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Unfortunate crop (especially considering it being a composite image). Lycaon 09:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
    Your right! I thought that this argument will come. Sadly even the originals have no more space to the ground. The church stands in a kind of ditch so you can´t see more of the church --Leviathan1983 09:52, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose However if you did left more space down there, it would be obvious in what position the church is and it wouldn't seem to be cut off by photographer. --Spock lone wolf 12:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

  •  NeutralNice image, but I think the effects of the light from the windows seems to give too much glare to the rest of the image a bit much for my taste. --Karora 07:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

  •  Comment perspektive should be corrected --Mbdortmund 19:42, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Perspective seems good. A slight trim of the pink area at the top on the right-hand side is now needed, but I wonder if you could also go back to the original and apply the cumulative changes to that, as there seems to be a small loss of definition in the corners that may be avoidable --Karora 00:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

  •  Question Because of the reflection, or because you'd like it more exposed? --Eusebius 16:21, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment The reflection isn't great, but mainly because the lighting is uneven, making the lower half very dim. --Karora 23:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Info I've tried to make the lighting more even through postprocessing. The result is lighter (closer to the true aspect of the object), but the reflection is unchanged and the postprocessing induced some slight luma noise in the lower part. --Eusebius 20:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

 Oppose I don't like that very tight crop on the top. I like it better now. --Spock lone wolf (talk) 18:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 Support Just for the record, while I agree the tight crop doesn't look so good in a thumbnail, viewed larger it looks fine. Bearing in mind that this is a vertical panorama I think it's not reasonable to expect a photo of the sky to be added on to the stack. --Karora 10:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 Comment I recreated the panorama. It's now not so strictly cropped. Brightness was also adjusted. P7r7 (talk) 15:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

  •  Comment Light and crop are much better, but there remains the stitching errors on the lower legs/feet of the statue. Lycaon 18:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Most of it is unsharp, significant overexposure. --Eusebius 11:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
  •  Neutral From an encyclopedic point of view, this is ein tolles Bild indeed. The overexposed parts are almost unavoidable IMO, due to the (too big) contrasts between dark & light in the room. For a pano of 16 images, the sharpness is insufficient. -- MJJR 20:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Maybe you're right and work on the perspective wouldn't help (I admit I tried and couldn't make it work :-), but it just doesn't look like much of anything as-is. Perhaps you can persuade someone else to endorse it. --Karora 23:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The smallness in width of the flower makes the depth of field too small for the whole upper part of the plant to be in focus? There are other images of this flower which have all of those parts in focus.... -- carol (talk) 19:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Original version
  •  Support Is an onion by any other name still as beautiful.... I marked this for discussion because while looking at the thumbnail, there was a scroll condition that made this image appear as if it had been cropped at the "fading away" part of the stem. I might have been disappointed to find it was not cropped there and would like to discuss it.... -- carol 11:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
I really am unsure if the crop improved the image or not. -- carol (talk) 13:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
It may have. I didn't consider that crop. Thanks. Lycaon 14:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Edited version
I have stricken my vote. If I remember correctly, much of the integrity of the reviews here was achieved by not voting for your own image, nomination or edited version and relying (confidently) on the opinions of others. Such behavior is a given for some of those with a certain kind of upbreeding in our species, perhaps (obviously) not a guarrentee of the whole group though. 'Tis easy and it also feels good, please feel free to experiment with this type of good conduct on yourself. -- carol (talk) 16:53, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Yep, fully agree. Lycaon 20:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

  • weak Support cropped version. Very dreamy, still, the right side is too tight. _Fukutaro 15:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Very articulate review and you are correct. I had some serious problems with the "professional looking" software I use while making this crop. Perhaps maintaining the aspect ratio was not so important. (I have heard that learning English is easy, you make it appear that this is true.) -- carol (talk) 21:01, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

  • Nomination USB flash drive --Afrank99 15:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

  • I cannot agree on that, please discuss. --Afrank99 06:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Well, in my opinion you need everything in the picture, because it is all important. There's no point in taking a photo of a building if you can only see half of its face. I hope that you understand my opinion more now. --Jolly Janner 22:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't understand why the chain of a USB stick could be important. Actually, the attention of the viewer should be directed to the stick, and not to the chain, so the stick must be the prominent part of the picture. I like it that way - I don't necessarily need a QI tag. --Afrank99 08:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
That is exactly the point. The chain is not important, but the way it is cropped it distracts the eye, which wonders where it ends thus taking focus away from the actual subject. With a tighter crop, where the chain only intersects the image edge once it would be less prominent and the actual subject would get more focus for the viewer as it deserves. --Slaunger 09:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Take another picture without the chain. The chain is attached to it, so it is all one object. --Jolly Janner 15:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Original version (left)
To make these kinds of edits really work with the review system here, please revert to the original nomination and upload the edited version into a different namespace and display the edited version here. Not everyone is as mentally agile as Dschwen surely must be and can remember what the original looked like. Opinions of support or oppose can then be made for specific versions and the person who is doing the work of tallying the votes (not easy, btw, and this kind of reviewing does not help) will know for certain what has been supported or not. -- carol (talk) 16:45, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Please nominate only one version. How can one vote when there are several versions to vote? Please withdraw this entry and renominate which ever version you think is better - as you have apparently done above. --Siipikarja 21:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think you can oppose because I have proposed an alternate version. You can vote for each of the version or none. Yann 22:47, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment You think or know? If you think, you cannot revoke my vote as you have done. Please point where in QI rules it is said that I may not oppose based on duplicate nomination. See QI guidelines and QI rules. In guidelines it says: "Adding more than a couple of images at once can be considered flooding, which is frowned upon." I'm not saying that it is forbidden to have multiple versions under one consensual review item (as nothing is said about this in the rules), but if you have the same image both in review section and consensual review section (as user Dschwen pointed out below), then either of them should be withdrawn in my opinion. Just for the sake of keeping the voting process simple. Perhaps I used the word "version" a little inconsiderably in my previous comment, I should have used word "entry". Sorry for the confusion. Anyhow, perhaps the QI rules should specify in more detail what is the policy with duplicate versions / entries. Especially, to which version does the QICtotal template apply when there are multiple versions of a single entry under on consensual review item? To avoid any further hassle, I revoke my vote. --Siipikarja 08:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • The edited version was declined. I didn't revoke your vote. And yes, your comment was not clear: I understood that you oppose that I proposed an alternate version below. Yann 21:16, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
