  • Can a poster not have "wow" factor? Lots of other posters of moons and planets have been Featured Pictures on Commons. I don't understand your objection to this one.
  •  Oppose The text actually doesn't cut off when you look at the poster full size, but that's still sloppy, and other celestial-body infographics that we've elevated to FP have been more informative than this. Daniel Case (talk) 05:28, 30 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • More informative... I think this one is pretty thorough, but I'd love to know what information you feel it lacks. I tried to give the basic known facts about this moon including its chemical composition and likely proportions of its various layers. It has no rings, no magnetosphere, no seas or mountain ranges; it has geysers, and those I included. It's southern pole is pink, which I also included. What more would you have me do?

  •  Support --SHB2000 (talk) 02:59, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose Oversharpened. While perhaps not as familiar as the signs of traditional sharpening overuse ("wormy" fine details, increased noise in smooth areas), the cues of an AI sharpening algorithm going overboard are equally discernible: artificial fine detail (e.g., breast feathers), artifacts in slightly out-of-focus areas (e.g., tail, foreground wing, branch), and masking halos in transitions (e.g., background wing). Charles, I understand your point that the "right" amount of sharpening is somewhat subjective, but I think there are objective reasons to err on the side of caution. An under-sharpened image can always be sharpened further by the user without requiring access to the original Raw file (some software even does this automatically e.g. printing applications), but an over-sharpened photograph is irrecoverable. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:08, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Oppose Nice photo, but very small and with no EXIF. Small photos with no EXIF are routinely successfully nominated for deletion as likely copyright violation, and I don't see how we could even consider promoting one. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Ikan Kekek: It depends a lot on the circumstance. Here, we have two images of similar subjects with the same resolution, and together they tell a plausible story of how they could be own work as claimed. Also, it is a photo of nature rather than a person (which is much more likely to be a copyvio). Overall, I find the probability of a successful deletion nomination to be low. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:41, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Daniel Case I've uploaded a new version offering a little bit more on each side. I could offer more but I don't think that the composition would actually get better showing more of the contiguous circles. Why should I lie on the floor, I select the focus and move to manual, set a timer and put the camera on the floor. The only thing I've to make sure is that nobody steps on the camera but there is no better tripod than that. Poco a poco (talk) 19:22, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Bread is not lethal in itself. But bread does not contain the right ingredients and it a the bird (like us) feel full; so if a bird relies on tourist bread it's health can deteriorate. So it's a bad thing to do. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:40, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Comment This church, designed by Eliel Saarinen, is in the Finnish style and is the only one of that kind in Estonia and is definitely considered architecturally outstanding for that matter. BTW it is rather difficult to get a good photo of that church due to its location (like the road in front of it has very dense traffic, problems with shadows for most of the day etc).

    Mile, I already did my best to remove those aberrations, and I'm not sure if it could be improved further without sacrificing other parts. It seemed as I found the balance right there. The history of edits is available for review and comparing. Corrections were applied to chromatic aberrations, fine detail sharpness, saturation and toning. So I collectively named it “Reprocessed for higher fidelity”. --Argenberg (talk) 12:25, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    I understand. The shadows in the original did bother me as well because I thought they were too dark, which is why I reduced them, but I think the shadows are an authentic representation of the structure of the gate. The large outer frame of the gate protrudes significantly out of the wall, while the door is at wall-level. A shadow-less image, if it even is possible, would make the gate look rather two dimensional imo (though I imagine it would still be a very beautiful image). UnpetitproleX (Talk) 07:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support A fascinating portal and a well-done photograph. The shadow may distract at the first glance, but on the other hand it shows the 3-dimensional structure of the portal; without shadows the portal would look flat. --Aristeas (talk) 08:09, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Info created and uploaded by JJ Harrison - nominated by SHB2000 --SHB2000 (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support this image is already an FP on enwiki (for reference) and this area was taken in a no public access area (while the House of Reps is open to the public, you can only view it from the balcony), so good photos like this are rare. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose This is a perfect FP for Wikipedia because it's an excellent, even if not evenly lit photo of an important legislative body. However, for Commons, I think it's just an excellent QI/VI, because as a view, it's rather boring. It's possible that I might think differently if I were an Australian and were thinking about the place from which the photo was taken, as you do, but it's impossible to know, and anyway, I am what I am and see and react the way I do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Fair enough. I just think any photo that was taken in a restricted area has an interesting wow factor given how rare it is to find such photos. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:01, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Will nominate that once it's been promoted to QI (which should be any moment now). --SHB2000 (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose It may not have been the easiest photo to get as a free image, yes, but I still find the background too distracting. If that same angle used in the Senate chamber photo had been used, it might be different. Daniel Case (talk) 18:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support More a support to make my point: this photo looks clearly very well thought of, is clean and the place is usually prohibited from access. Yet it gets opposed on the ground of petty reasons. On the same FPC page, I see noms of more easily accessible subjects, with very simple compo, that anyone can shoot, getting loads of supports.

Saint-Charles Cemetery
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Other#Canada
  •  Info Although it may seem incredible, the image is not in black and white. The surrounding fog and mist, characteristic of the winter weather this year, give this cemetery in Quebec an eerily cinematic feel, as if it were straight out of a horror movie. The bleak, monochromatic scene is made all the more haunting by the knowledge that it is a place of rest for the dead. Yet despite the eerie atmosphere, there is a sense of peace and solitude that pervades the cemetery, a reminder that even in death, we are not alone.All by -- Wilfredor (talk) 22:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Support I love the atmosphere of this photo: on the one hand it is somewhat gloomy, on the other hand peaceful, just as you say. Just one hint: Some of the inscriptions on the gravestones seem sharper than the gravestones themselves; this is a bit irritating. If you have applied any additional sharpening to the inscriptions, I would reduce/remove it, IHMO the inscriptions should be just as sharp/unsharp as the stones. --Aristeas (talk) 17:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We could discuss this on the discussion page. --Aristeas (talk) 16:17, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    while I agree that EXIF are extremely useful to contextualize a photo or just learn about photography, it is so easy to fake them that I wonder if it really makes sense to require them? - Benh (talk) 16:34, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • We should discuss this more on the talk page, so all I'll say here is that you might want to make that argument at Commons talk:Deletion requests, because the lack of an EXIF is so often a major reason for successful deletion nominations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I won't really expand on that, but deleting based on lack of EXIF alone is a stupid reason. EXIF can be easily made up and therefore are also to be trusted with pinch of salt - Benh (talk) 21:12, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • People who delete images here based on the fact that those photos lack EXIF data should ask themselves whether they should take on a different hobby. Sorry to sound harsh, but this is getting more and more ridiculous. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:22, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support as per Ivar. Furthermore I will not find it "less featurable" even if I learn that it was taken with a big megapixel potential camera. Good wine tasters do it without seeing the label, the others, who absolutely need to see the labels each times, don't know much about wine tasting. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support If this was about paintings, would we reject an image because the artist used the wrong brush and easel? (or wouldn't tell is which brush and easel he/she used) – The large majority of this year's Picture of the Year Top-10 (or was it all of them?) wasn't taken by Commons photographers. Has anyone ever wondered why that's the case? Do we perhaps focus on the wrong criteria? Is photography really only about the technical tools and who can do the best focus stacking? --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment We can't see what settings the photographer used, but it may have included a very high ISO or just an inadequate camera. The result is barely QI and is a routine composition. The leaf detracts. There are times of the day and poor weather conditions, when taking an FP of a large mammal is impossible. You just have to wait and try again. I do agree though that we promote too many easy-to-replicate photos, many of which are focus-stacks. I would limit FP to Commons photographers, but I suspect that is a minority view.

There are some who try to hide, but you can always ask for original (unedited) photo, where you can see the real stuff - EXIF. I checked shots from Byrdyak, and many are very good. Trying to find camera: D3 (12 Mpx - 4256×2832 px) and D800 (36 MPx, 7,360 × 4,912) he used. I got feeling, since softness was mentioned, this was even enlarged (D3 4256×2832 to 4500×3000) on Nikon software ViewNX. Ratio 4500:4256 equals to 3000:2832 better than downsizing from D800.

        the composition would not be the same... cropping is equivalent to using a longer focal, and that is not necessarily avail on accessible to mortals drones. Also, it might be prohibited to get close to some buildings, depending on local regulations of course. - Benh (talk) 09:31, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
        The composition would not be equivalent, yet not necessarily worse IMO. --A.Savin 11:53, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
        Around that monastery there are nature protection areas (in which the use of drones is not allowed). When we discussed this photo in the German WLM jury, we checked that this photo has been taken from a point which is allowed. But Ermell had certainly not much freedom in positioning the drone here. --Aristeas (talk) 12:28, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
        There are so many points in Germany where, in theory, drones are not allowed... That is, actually nearly everywhere is off-limit for you, if you have only the "Kleiner Drohnenführerschein" (and the uttermost of us will have only this, if anything). According to coordinates, the drone was nearly above residential buildings or private properties, this is (in theory) prohibited as well. --A.Savin 12:56, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment I don't mind the wires as much, but would love to see what the original of this shot looks like - like Basile I suspect over-processing. The shot itself is dramatic enough and I would support if the colors were natural. --Kritzolina (talk) 08:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment In general I agree with your concerns, but honestly the colours seem not too exagerrated in this case – when a ray of sunshine hits a stubble field it can really shine with vivid bright colours. I have seen that several times. So there has probably been some boosting of the colours in post but the result seems still realistic to me. I do mind the wires; maybe we could clone them out (and upload the result as a derivative file and nominate it here as an alternative) – do you think it’s worth to try it? --Aristeas (talk) 11:31, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Cloning out the wires sounds like a good idea, but if voters have found post-processing to be overkill, then offering an alternative version will only waste your time.

  • When I look at the details I get the impression that the photo has already been treated with noise reduction, but with limited success – some details are already a bit slushy (look at the statues in the niches directly below the dome). So more denoising is not the way to go here … --Aristeas (talk) 10:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Green iguana (Iguana iguana) on a wall in Palm Beach County, Florida
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured_pictures/Animals/Reptiles#Family_:_Iguanidae_(Iguanas)
  •  Info Almost all of the FPs we have of iguanas are headshots/partial body shots. This makes sense -- their heads are striking, and they're very long creatures relative to their size. This one was probably about 1.5m or so, so I opted for a panorama (4 frames). all by — Rhododendrites talk |  21:03, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support This was the first one I've seen in person. It was just basking along a wall by the water in a residential area. They're so much larger than I realized! — Rhododendrites talk |  21:03, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment Composition is great, but unfortunately there is serious blurring on one section and a stitching error as well as issues at the top edge towards middle/tail. See note. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support -- IamMM (talk) 00:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment Undecided yet, but currently leaning to the oppose side, because the background is really cluttered and so distracting. I agree the animal in full is interesting, compared to the other FPs showing only the head, however the blurry white and black patterns are very awkward, in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:12, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • I know about the blurriness, and probably see the stitching error (but mainly I just see where the blurriness meets the not blurriness). I think this'll take some time to fix, which I unfortunately won't have until next week. Happy to come back to it, but I understand if that means folks might oppose. I'll also say I'm not sure if it's something that's properly fixable; we'll see. — Rhododendrites talk |  14:05, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • @Rhododendrites: your comment seems related to Charles's review. My main concern personally is the background. And I'm split, because the animal is great but the general appearance unattractive and cluttered -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:14, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Ah, yes, wrong place. Meant to be under Charles' initial comment. — Rhododendrites talk |  02:42, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Neutral after more consideration. A bokeh behind would have made the foreground more appealing -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:59, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support Yes a chunk of the tail is a bit blurry and the background could have benefitted from more blurriness IMO. But that is a very eye catching longitudinal and thorough view. Better have this kind of flawed eye catching candidates then flawless boring ones. - Benh (talk) 11:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Support Please try to fix the marked stiching error. – Like Behn I think the result is still very impressive. We should also consider the resolution – if we would downscale this photo to the rather modest size most wildlife photos use, the defects would become invisible. --Aristeas (talk) 11:33, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Comment I did check, colors are great, i saw you were on end of zoom - 300mm. If you have that 400mm and with multiplyer you could try one more - anoted. Just head. Would be marevlous shot. --Mile (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks. I have the 150mm with 2x teleconverter=300. There is a 300mm and a 100-400mm of similar quality, which work with the teleconverter, but both are too expensive for me. There's another lower quality (not quite as expensive) 100-400mm, which I tested at one point, but didn't find the quality good enough, and it doesn't work with the teleconverter so it's just effectively a 100mm difference. So, alas, no more zoom for me anytime soon, I'm afraid. Besides, I was only in Florida for a week, and the only lizards we see in New York City are quite small. :) — Rhododendrites talk |  18:03, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •   Comment This isn't actually a print made by Weston himself, but by his son Cole (that's why the print is so cheap on Southeby's; an original by the photographer would go for far more that $5–7K). Why's that even important? Because in the analogue age, prints might look slightly different depending on how they were treated during the printing process. I'd be ok if the image description got changed (both here and on Wikipedia). The current way we're presenting this as a work by Edward Weston is not entirely correct. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:17, 14 January 2023 (UTC) P.S. I'm also not so sure about the "removal of dust spots" performed by the uploader unless we can confirm that the dust spots aren't on the print. P.P.S. And, yes the photo itself is great – I've been an admirer of Edward Weston for years nowReply[reply]

  •  Support -- Kruusamägi (talk) 05:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't get why this would be an FP. I'm sorry, but there's nothing outstanding about the composition to me. If it's a portrait of sitting people, we're looking at them from the back, and there's much more of the picture frame that doesn't include them but is an OK foreground and a hazy background across the lake. Details like the "DIVIETO DI PESCA" buoy and the backpacks aren't helping me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:22, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment In my view it isn't really about the people sitting there, but more about the view in general. And I mainly like the colors and consider that the most interesting part of the photo. (And I think it is better to keep the people unidentifiable.) There seemed to be also several other options like Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Other#Switzerland, but I struggled to choose what to put there.

  •  Oppose Hazy / Blueish background -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:47, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose I would have considered support if there'd been more symmetry in the foreground ... i.e., no tree at left and only the tree between the two benches. Daniel Case (talk) 06:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose this kind of compo can work, but too many distrating things here as the tree at left, the branches at right. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:50, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose Colors are nice, but for FP level there's not enough symmetry in the foreground, and the background is too covered to provide a really nice view. Mikael Häggström (talk) 17:36, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Current FP Proposed Replacement

  •  Info Out of all the famous paintings in the history of western art, this painting is one of my least favorites. But, given its importance to 20th century American art, we should probably keep a version of it as FP.

  •  Info It's a detail. The detail of a whale with wavy shapes is opposite the round window, the rather monotonous gray is opposite the colorful window, the sharp whale is opposite the blurred window. In this form, I see the image as photo art. Or not? My guess is that the contrasts will continue in the reviews. -- XRay 💬 17:59, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Oppose Here is the contrast opinion. This is a very experimental image, and I considered it for a while. But sorry, no, I cannot go with it. One of my points: not only the background, but almost half of the whale or what we see from it is out of focus. --Uoaei1 (talk) 20:40, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Thanks for your assessment and good description of your motivations. It is helpful like that. When I took the shot, it was important to me that the foreground be sharp and the window have the appropriate degree of blur. This conditions that the slightly more distant part of the whale already shows a slight blur, but without being really noticeable in the overall impression. --XRay 💬 05:53, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment Thank you Aristeas. From an aesthetic POV, I find the cropped version more worthy of FP status although if it is to be used in a WP article, I would probably still prefer the original version. Do we need to ping all voters before replacing the improved version? -- IamMM (talk) 15:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Comment IamMM, I agree with you about the pros and cons of both versions. Well, I think the cropping is a minor change of the image (< 10% have been cropped) but still worth mentioning, so IHMO we could just switch the nomination to the cropped version and then ping all previous voters. --Aristeas (talk) 17:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I agree with your suggestion Aristeas, but before changing nom let's fix the file name issue that Daniel Case mentioned. According to the translator app, the current name is unrelated to the image, but it would be better if someone familiar with the Russian language confirmed this. -- IamMM (talk) 00:27, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Dear IamMM, this version has got so many supporters now that I think we should just forget about the crop ;–). But it would indeed be useful to rename the file (and my cropped version accordingly) to a more descriptive name – “Contryside on Venus” is a very poetic name, of course, but misleading; such names are common on Flickr, but not here on Commons. --Aristeas (talk) 07:05, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Support I'm not bothered by the stuff at the right as the image's leading lines are strong enough. For those who are, I have suggested a crop.

    Nor does the light bother me ... it's early spring, of course it will be harsh, and to me that gives it its own beauty. Perhaps some !voters think it would only look good in midsummer with trees in full leaf and blue sky with little white fluffy clouds. But that would look too much like so many other FP nominees. Here we have a landscape whose colors reinforce/are reinforced by that of the subject building, which wouldn't be the case in warmer weather.

    Plus it's also nice to have an FP of Andorra. Daniel Case (talk) 19:58, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Support The image of a man holding the symbol of peace in his hands with a tired and innocent look on his face is a haunting reminder of the struggles faced by the people of Cuba. The country, once a tropical paradise and a destination for writers like Ernest Hemingway, has been ravaged by years of hardship and difficulty. Traveling to Cuba is like traveling back in time, not to the glamorous days of Hemingway's Cuba, but to a post-apocalyptic world where the human spirit has been broken by the absurdity of poverty and oppression. This photograph touches me deeply, as I also come from a country that has suffered under a similar dictatorial regime. The man in the photograph stands as a symbol of hope, holding the symbol of peace with a look of tired on his face. But the reality is that the struggles of the Cuban people continue, and the road to true peace and freedom is still long and uncertain. The photograph is a sad and nostalgic reminder of the human cost of political oppression and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

    •  Comment It was difficult for me to align this image because the horizon is practically invisible because of the haze in the distance. I used the inversion layer that is barely visible in the haze for alignment. The dark area to right of the island in the background (Lipari) is not the horizon. This area is just waves caused by the wind blowing in the channel between Lipari and Salina, which lies to the right of Lipari outside the image. --Carsten Steger (talk) 18:25, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Young kestrels
Kestrels choose a variety of places to lay their eggs Fischer.H. The chosen place is known as a nest. I am quite aware they do not build twiggy nests like many birds. They are not 'rock breeders' as you state. Kestrels will use other birds' nests, wooden nest boxes or other man-made structures as well as a wide range of natural locations. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment In German-language literature Kestrels are often described as „Felsbrüter“ (rock breeders); and while it is mentioned that they often use nests of other birds, the chosen place is normally not called „Nest“, but „Brutplatz“ or „Nistplatz“ (nesting site). It is possible that all of this is wrong, of course, and it is possible that these are just differences between the linguistic habits of bird specialists in different languages. But if it is wrong it is a common error and not Fischer.H’s error. --Aristeas (talk) 09:39, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
