Weak support Very nice blue-hour cityscape. IMHO the graffiti is just reality (and there are much worse graffitis, e.g. Swastikas and other Nazi propaganda). But some small parts, e.g. the towers of the church, are overexposed/lacking definition. – Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

- @Yann: do you see the header of this magazine? We can't read the first words because the page is cut off. It means the picture is cut off too. The source itself is badly cropped. Some content is missing. Not all the sources on the web are of good quality. And it's even more obvious on the previous page.

Removed the greenish tint visible in the photograph which makes it worse.
Info This amazing photo was promoted a few years ago, and the featured image version which was promoted has a greenish/yellowish tint which makes the module surface and even space look less accurate to the actual photo. This is a big issue. This better scan removes this tint and is an FP on Eng. Wikipedia (Original nomination)

Keep Sorry to disagree, but it is the same situation of this picture. For sure, the colors are more faithful in the alternative version, but the already featured picture is the one released by NASA in 1969, with its historical value. The new one can be a featured picture by itself, without the necessity of delisting the original one. --Harlock81 (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- For me the difference is that in the case of ‘Earthrise’ the picture was very heavily reproduced in contemporary news media to the extent that the famous version should be featured even if a technically better version exists. ‘Earthrise’ even has a Wikipedia article about it. In the case of this picture, it is a lot less famous and its value is in illustrating the event, not in its iconic status. Just my two cents, Cmao20 (talk) 02:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- You are right. This picture is less famous than others taken during the Apollo missions. We can propose and promote a version whose colors are more faithful to what an human eye would have seen, but we are not correcting a yellowed photograph. The featured image is the best version of the original picture, released during the Apollo Programm. The new version is a scientifically correct reproduction of what the other one represent. The two pictures are imho two different things, and both valuable. Imho, a {{Retouched picture}} is missing, also. --Harlock81 (talk) 14:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- If you want to add the Retouched picture feature to the page, you can do it yourself. I also see no reason why we can make two of the same photo both featured pictures. I agree with Cmao in the sense that Earthrise is the more historically reproduced photo Wcamp9 (talk) 23:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Info The Montbenon courthouse was built between 1881 and 1886. This is an experimental composition shown from the side with a subtle fisheye effect, but the building is not actually curved. This type of wide shot allows you to appreciate the effect of the clouds in the sky being swept by strong winds at altitude.

Comment Like here, the cylindrical lines don't work for me, because it makes the appearance weird like deformed. Is it possible to make the perspective rectilinear? I also find the crop tight at the bottom -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Basile and thanks for your comment. In this case the rectilinear projection does not work too, furthermore there would be a tree and a bush hugely depicted on the right side, subjects in the foreground and which would occupy 30% of the composition. Yes, your observations are correct, the bottom is tight, but there is a valid reasonː The compositional photo of the monuments, as a rule and out of politeness towards other people, must be taken if possible without framing them. In this case it was difficult, because there were several dozen people (even close to me) enjoying the last rays of the sun in front of the view of Lake Geneva. For this reason I did not want and could not point the camera downwards. I absolutely had to avoid them also because there are many other disturbing and distracting elements: Trees, bushes, street lamps and the enormous statue of W. Tell, positioned in front of the main entrance of the building. The cylindrical projection, in this particular case, by distancing some parts of the edge subject by gently curving it, has the advantage of enhancing the central part of the building and offering the richness of details with the colors brightened by the golden hour, together with the sky as a co-protagonist backdrop.

Support --SHB2000 (talk) 03:21, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Oppose -- It's really a shame about the great sky, but in a photo where the main subject is a building, the edges should be straight.

Oppose Sorry, fisheye lenses are not adapted to architecture in my opinion. They completely distort the appearance of the lines and proportions. And in this case the slight curvature sounds like a technical flaw, in my view. Something like File:Palais de Justice de Montbennon, Lausanne.jpg (imagine the perspective fixed) or 2 would be much better. And there are not always people around this monument, apparently. The current crop is really too tight at the bottom, and overall unbalanced. People are cropped at the lower left corner. I understand the difficulty with visitors, but that doesn't make the image better unfortunately. It's relatively an easy subject, you can go again and give another try. I agree with Je-str the sky is nice, however, you can certainly meet different weather conditions there, at various times of the day, and use a rectilinear lens -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- To be accurate, this was taken using a rectilinear lens and remapped using a cylindrical-like projection.

- ? The salience is the sharks hidden just below the surface. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Support Sorry if I'm wrong, but I think mixing water and air in a single shot is not easy, and rare enough. Thus per COM:FP: "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject." In that case I guess the top of the device might be humid? Still I find the composition captivating and innovating. The image shows us how close the sharks swim to the surface. And it reminds me Jaws (the film). The level of detail of the animals is excellent for an underwater picture -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. The underwater plastic dome, which is wet, distorts the top half of the picture. Of course, many half-and-half photos online are merged images. There may be other half-and-halfs of sharks (or other animals) on Commons, but I've not found any. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Comment We have valued image (VI) for rare photos that do not meet the FP standard.--Famberhorst (talk) 18:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment Half underwater photography with unblury top is not hard to do. There are three different ways to achieve it : 1) rubing some special lotion on the dome glass like this product ; 2) keeping the top of the glass dry ; 3) replunging the dome completely in the water and then taking it out again. I would personally not use the first option as I don't think such lotion would be good for the ocean or the animals. But I got very easily many pictures with sharp top only using the technic described with option number 3. Here are some examples taken with a GoPro inside a GDome in 2021 in the Bahamas : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. And I have much more : link. For this picture, if the dome would have been plunged underwater and taken out again a picture with clear top would have been taken. Given how easy it is to take half underwater pictures and given how common and easy black tip reef sharks can be found for tourists I personnally think that this picture is not at FP level and not even at QI level, sorry. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 20:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment Sorry, I should have gone to the very shallow water where the pigs were. Would that that sharks were that slow... Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- No need for shallow water, you can easily dip back the dome in the water in deep water. Also the pigs were actualy the ones running while blacktip sharks usually swim slowly most of the time. Finally, blacktip sharks are very easily found in shallow water and the fact that the sand is visible in this picture indicates that it was taken in shallow water -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Abstain As author. Tournasol7 (talk) 19:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose Sorry :( I like this picture but I'm not sure it can be FP. The image quality is very good. Composition is good except it bothers me a little that the curve of the grass is cropped on the left - just slightly further to the left would help. The light is not great, it's not stormy enough to be dramatic but it's quite grey nevertheless. Overall I think it just falls short for these reasons. Cmao20 (talk) 19:23, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Info Groß Sankt Martin and the cathedral dominate the view of Cologne. For years, the south side of the cathedral has been almost free of scaffolding. The city is probably never completely free of signs of construction activity. All by me. It was nomminated few months ago, see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Dom (Deutzer Brücke).jpg.

Info created and uploaded and nominated by XRay -- XRay 💬 13:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Info The photo is (once again) out of the ordinary. It is an example from the field of photographic art, taken here with the increasingly well-known technique of conscious camera movement (ICM). --XRay 💬 13:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Info If you want to preserve the mystique of the photo, it is best not to read this note. It describes how the picture was taken. It began in the fall, when I was collecting autumnal yellow ginkgo leaves. Now, in the quieter days between the holidays, the leaves were dry and there was time to take the picture. The leaf was hung on a thin, black thread. Lateral lighting with the help of a flashlight brought the light exactly onto the leaf. A black cardboard was used as the background for the highest possible contrast. The camera was set up so that there was both enough light and enough time to move the camera. The movement creates the actual character of the photo, but several shots are required to achieve the necessary momentum. ICM shots are always somewhat unpredictable. In post-processing, the brightness was adjusted, the colors slightly enhanced and the color temperature slightly lowered. The unavoidable noise was also reduced as much as possible, but not completely removed. It simply belongs to the photo. And not to forget: The photo has been rotated so that the stem is pointing downwards. This creates the magical creature of a dancing fairy. I have selected what I consider to be the best of the good shots and present them here. --XRay 💬 13:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

- Valid question. The National Park conservation expert who was hosting us moved it to the log where it was very content in the sunshine. He had pre-warned us by explaining that snakes 'yawn' (well, gape actually) as part of their warming-up process. This one obliged. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- This information could be added in the description. Since the snake does not show any teeth, it is not hunting. However, the common fear for the snakes will lead many to misunderstand the situation. --Harlock81 (talk) 11:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment For FP I expect a good exposure management (there is room of improvement for the windows), the frescos of this church are not good conserved, the pulpit is not of big help for the composition and level of detail overall not the best, either. Poco a poco (talk) 12:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Beautiful church but I don't like the grey windows. If there is no detail to recover there, they should be bright white. There is no point dragging the highlights down so that it looks unnatural Cmao20 (talk) 13:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Neutral: sincerely, I don't understand why promoting a minor figure like this. I have abstained from promoting events and people even far more important and that were about entire nations or even the whole western world. @Basile Morin: well, we have plenty of great historical photos with excellent definition, this isn't even the best and the most amazing I've seen by myself (I usually visit many of them, inserting the tmp "Taken on" to proper categorize them in the time categories). In general, I really don't understand why this attention for something like this. Would like to understand. --LucaLindholm (talk) 17:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Support I agree with you that he is a minor figure but I think the portrait is interesting, made me want to learn more about him, and that Adam has done a good job restoring it. However, if you know where to find FP quality photos of historical events that are more notable than this, please nominate them :-) Cmao20 (talk) 18:21, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Info Why promoting a "minor figure like this"? Ask the nominator, but in my opinion, because we usually promote "minor figures" like these. -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- My thought is that a lot of people might provide a high quality image of, say, Abraham Lincoln, but we may be the only good source of an image for someone like Albert Marco. If we ignore minor figures, people studying minor figures have no chance of getting a good image. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:33, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- By the way, it's not really a "minor figure". Marco Albori, alias Albert Marco gets his own article on Wikipedia, clue that he is certainly a Major bad boy :-)
- To be frank, at the beginning I thought it was an artist with painting on his suit (like Niels Shoe Meulman for example). But actually it might rather be blood? Basile Morin (talk) 07:58, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- This version was rightly FPX-ed by Basile due to low resolution (although it's cleaned up a bit and perspective corrected), but since this is a rather famous photo in Sweden, I've taken the liberty to add the original as an alt.

Comment It’s great that people work together in order to provide us with a decent version of this famous photograph! Many thanks to Cart and Yann. But IMHO the current state of affairs is a bit confusing. This “Alternative” section was labelled as “original version” by Cart, but the uploaded original version has already been overwritten by an edited one. So I am not sure about which version we are voting here and have to abstain. Wouldn’t it be better and clearer if we would upload edited versions of such historic photos under new filenames, keeping the original readily available (maybe marked as “archival version”)? – Aristeas (talk) 15:21, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Excellent points Aristeas. I'll sort this out. The "original" wasn't even uploaded here under its proper name, so an “archival version” is totally called for. --Cart (talk) 15:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ok Aristeas, I've fixed this in a way that will cause the least mess in the history of the different versions. We now have an archived original straight from the museum data base. I've put a template on it, so hopefully it will be left in peace now. While uploading from the museum, I also noticed that that version is 5.87 MB, whereas this Flickr version that Yann overwrote, was only 675 KB, resulting in a 1.92 MB by Yann. It would be ok if perhaps Yann could make a new version for this Alt nom based on the museum original, using the same edits but with a higher resolution. Overwriting a small version with a bigger is usually ok here. But we don't need yet another file of this. --Cart (talk) 16:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Another small point of order. I see that Yann has added the Category:Files uploaded by Yann Forget to this file, but the original uploader is Liftarn, so this seems wrong to me. I don't think we put such categories on files when we simply improve them. What is the practice? --Cart (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot, Cart. I did it again with more corrections. I add this category to all files I upload. Yann (talk) 17:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Shouldn't you rather use another category for the files you just edit? It can get a little confusing if we have both yours and the original uploader's category on a file. I know I wouldn't like if you edited one of my photos and then put "uploaded by Yann" on it. I see that your new version landed on 1.98 MB, which is close to the first one you did, but I guess that the higher contrast and more light made the 5.87 MB version smaller. --Cart (talk) 17:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Support --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Great photo, but it needs a careful digital restoration like the ones done by Adam to remove the stains etc. That restored version should be based on the archived original (thanks, Cart) and have a clear filename, including a hint like “(restoration)”, and a clear file history instead of being uploaded over just some other version uploaded by someone else from some other source, like the currently nominated file – what a incredibly confusing situation. – Aristeas (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Oppose
- @Aristeas This restoration is based on the archived original. And the quality is not very good, so more restoration would be like creating a fake image IMO. Yann (talk) 10:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Yann: I totally agree that overprocessing of historic(al) photographs is a bad thing – drastic changes of white balance or gradation, sharpening, even removal of original film grain may all be considered harmful. However the little black stains in this photo look exactly like the typical little dirt spots (often fly droppings) which I have often seen on old prints, and cloning them out would IMHO restore the original appearance of the photo without reducing its historical value. If we want to keep a photo 100% authentic (reproducing the current state of a concrete negative, slide or print), we should not even rotate and crop it; if we do the latter, we have have already moved on from 100% authenticity to a slightly restored version, and then it also seems avisable to remove obvious dirt and scratches, too. – Aristeas (talk) 09:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Aristeas: I fixed all fixable things. I think I am done with this. Yann (talk) 12:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Support Thank you very much, Yann! This version is indeed much better and IMHO now really looks how the photograph was looking originally. All clear stains are gone. I agree that it is good that you have kept some tiny irregularities which could be stains, too, but may very well be part of the reality/of the original photo. So this version really deserves the star. Thank you again, – Aristeas (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

- Ultra-realistic AI work? (And there's a similar "abrupt shadow" under the nose). Compare the shadow on the cheek and those ones, there's a huge difference. I don't think it's skin pigmentation either, the surface is too large -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:03, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's a 2012 image taken during a professional workshop (read the technique details in image description). It was probably a mistake to nominate this, but it isn't AI. DGtal (talk) 14:10, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I read the description but this description doesn't explain this weird shadow. Note that we also meet fake images here sometimes.
- It's not AI because we can find other photos associated to this name, on the web. But please also add {{PR}} on the file page.
- The odd thing also is that the shadow is on the skin but not on the shirt. It really doesn't look natural to me -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:45, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Question Do people have eyes like this? Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- There is certainly a softbox or reflector behind, but the big mystery for me is really this zebra stripe, which clearly seems artificial, unless it is something unknown that I would like to discover. Huge café au lait spot? Unlikely. Then, if it's a technical issue of post-treatment, the use of this picture on Wikidata, Wikipedia, etc. can be quite embarrassing for the person. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry but although the composition is nice, you'll struggle with a phone camera quality at night. This one has a very low level of detail preserved at full size. Also the camera only has a 50 megapixel sensor so I'm not sure where 90 megapixels came from. Cmao20 (talk) 13:27, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment I will support both versions, but I think File:Proboscis bats (81721).jpg is better.

- Note: As I mentioned in my nomination, I was unsure which of two shots to put forward. Basile suggested the other one may be better, but there's been support for this one since then. As it's an entirely different shot, rather than another version of the same photo, it doesn't qualify as an alternative, so I've just gone ahead and nominated it in parallel here: Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/candidate_list#File:Proboscis_bats_(81721).jpg.

File:The Kaaba during Hajj (edited).jpg
Info: Reasons to delist:
- Wrong nomination and upload made by Aliphotography sockpuppet of indef blocked user ArionStar. See the original nomination here;
- High compression rate and quality reduced (only 5.76 MB instead of 21.09 MB for the new version);
- Non standard profile "Display P3" instead of the original "sRGB IEC61966-2.1".
Technical improvements made from the original photo taken by Adli Wahid, in addition to the consensual crop suggested by Fernando and SHB2000:
- Tilt fixed, perspective improved in accordance with COM:I (check the left side of the Kaaba and the pillar on the right side of the picture for example);
- Chromatic aberration reduced / removed around the light spots;
- Minor noise reduction made with Topaz Denoise AI;
- Very slight sharpening (unsharpened version also available in the history of the file page);
- Improved file page presentation, better categorization, addition of wikisource. (More suggestions welcome);
- Original profile restored.

Info Upper chapel of the Sainte-Chapelle, located in the medieval Palais de la Cité (residence of the Kings of France until the 14th century), Île de la Cité in the Seine, Paris, France. It was commissioned by King Louis IX and its construction began sometime after 1238 and the chapel was consecrated on 26 April 1248. The Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture, and it has one of the most extensive 13th-century stained glass collections anywhere in the world. Note: we have no FPs of this jewel (to me the jewel in Paris). Probably due to the fact that it's always packed with people and tripods are not allowed. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Question How do you get 5,616 × 7,334 pixels from the source? I find only 2,851 x 3,722 real megapixels. Was the image upscaled? -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- That's a question for the original file uploader. Based on the uploader's contributions, perhaps at the time the source offered a higher resolution scan, or something along those lines, but I don't know. Bammesk (talk) 04:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, Bammesk. @Crisco 1492: how do you get so many pixels? -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Basile Morin. The maximum resolution file on the zoomify was larger than the resolution available for download. They seem to have changed their algorithm for zooming since then, but if you compare the zoom at maximum resolution with the copy we have here, theirs actually goes even bigger. Now, whether that means they were drawing from a higher resolution file that isn't shared, or their zoom mechanism allows going past 100%, I don't know. All of my Met uploads from the period were at the highest resolution available in zoomify. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:55, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. The restoration work is in my opinion very good. But not sure all these pixels are "real" / useful -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose No wow effect with light or sharpness. The composition is not good. There is a problematic artifact above the arm. The person's head should have been captured. I agree that there is little opportunity to take a photo of a concentration camp prisoner tattoo, but the fact that it is a more dramatic historical fact cannot be put aside all other aesthetic criteria.

- Obviously I can't answer for FrankieF, but this is a public annual event (often with Swedish dignitaries present) where you are free to take photos, so much like this FP or this FP. The absent {{PR}} is probably just an oversight. Frankie is one of the top people-at-events photographers we have in the wiki-Sweden community, and he usually never adds that template to his photos.

Comment I love the photo (and don't want to be pixel-peeper), but there are some stitching errors in the image (blurry areas). See notes (probably I haven't catched all of them). — Draceane talkcontrib. 20:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Comment Reading the comments on Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Kiskatinaw River Bridge.jpg – it could be caused by some optical distortion of your lens, because there is striking difference of sharpness in the panorama. — Draceane talkcontrib. 20:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- You're correct, the unsharp areas are the artifacts of the lens, not the stitcher. I took care of the most problematic parts prior to nominating.

Info This retouched version is broken. If you open both this and the original and switch between them a few times it's easy to see the problem: Perry's face is scaled down here (which itself might violate COM:BLP), leaving behind misalignment artifacts, most noticeably in the top left and top right of her hair where it meets the background. Additionally, her ear and chin aren't scaled down with the face, making them appear proportionally larger (for some reason, part of the earring is scaled, leaving it warped).
I'll be more than happy to abandon this in favor of a "delist and replace" if someone uploads a similar retouched version that doesn't have technical issues (I've asked the original editor if he could upload a corrected version but was denied). (Original nomination)

Support exactly per Basile. Small change to gallery link proposed: Let’s use the “Childrens” section. – Aristeas (talk) 14:19, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I disagree with your proposed change. Princess Elizabeth may have been 7 years old, but she wasn't just a child... she was the grandchild to king George V (and later became queen). She was important enough to be in category "paintings", even if Edward VIII had never abdicated and Elizabeth had never become a queen. Category "children" makes me think of a bunch of unknown kids. Also, the painting of 9 year old Romaine Lacaux, and Oval portrait miniature of girl oil painting by Valentine Manchon Duchesne is in category "paintings". So... I change the category back, and hope you are OK with that... :-) --Zquid (talk) 06:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Are you saying that this child is more precious than “ordinary” children just because it belongs to some “royal” family? (Then I have to disagree completely, sorry. All human beings are created equal, and mankind should follow rational arguments, law and ethics, not blood and lineage.) Or is your point that the “Children” section is for images of unknown and anonymous children and that all portrait paintings of children should be sorted under “Portraits”? The latter is an interesting suggestion. We should discuss this elsewhere. – Aristeas (talk) 08:46, 19 January 2025 (UTC) – Update: See this discussion. Cart’s proposal is to dissolve the unclear “Children” section. This also solves our difference of opinion here: all portrait paintings of children will be sorted unter “Portraits”. I hope you are fine with that (it means your link is respected) and I am fine with that, too, because it avoids any special treatment for “special” children. – Aristeas (talk) 17:27, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

- Thanks for your comment. But sorry, I don't see any mistakes in the yellow half-decayed leaf. The further away the leaf is from the camera (so behind the mushroom) the leaf fades. That was also the intention. I took the first photo of the rear tip of the mushroom and then further forward so that the entire mushroom (so the object) was sharp. I think that worked out well.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose Sorry but the top of that leaf is in focus, while the bottom is blurry, all around the mushroom. You might have a frame in your batch with that leaf in focus. Then please, fix the issue on a software. Best regards -- -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:34, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have 146 photos each with a space of half a millimeter between them of the mushroom. There is no sharp leaf that you mean in between.

Oppose Per Basile, the sudden transition in the yellow leaf seems indeed like a focus stacking issue (note how the transition to the brown leaf in the backgorund is less abrupt, despite it being further away). I think we already discussed this issue in one of your previous nominations, it can be fixed by combining a method B and a method C output. This technique can also sort out the other stacking issues (e.g., around the stem in the foreground). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:07, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose No, definitely not with that problem of perspective, which gives the impression that all the buildings are collapsing, while in fact there is only one in the center. But believe it or not, I was working on a derivative version of this file on my computer to propose a "delist and replace" nomination on en-Wikipedia. In addition to this major problem of perspective, the sky is horribly dotted with many dust spots. The resolution is not great and I'm not sure that, even with these corrections, it can become a FP on Commons. Still, I'm going to upload another version soon, so you can compare. To finish, I'm not sure the file name, that translates into "04.03 The Vice President went to Hualien to learn about the disaster situation and rescue progress - 53629407644" really describes the image. I don't think the Vice President is a fireman :-) Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:31, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Info There is already another FP of the Basilic but this is a vertical panorama with a very different angle not frequently exploited, which takes in the staircase on the right that leads towards the top. In the foreground, more shots were necessary in order to select the smallest number of people in the frame, together with scattered objects such as backpacks, water bottles and any other stuff removed.

Info According to the Wikipedia article and this source there are 300.000 visitors, according to this even 370.000 (in 2014). I had to wait a longer time to make this shot with nearly no persons (and I admit i removed two visitors), but that's all. Most visitors come from north and enter the castle from this direction, so you have only a few visitors on the south side, but you can also take photos of the northern part without visitors. Here I took several photos at short intervals and then combined them (Photomerging - "scene cleanup"). --Llez (talk) 05:55, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment No comment on the photo, but this user already has eight FPs of these flamingos. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:48, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes and you already have 6 great apes and I see no problem with it. There is no maximum number of FP for a topic or from a user. Featured pictures are about selecting the best image amongst all image on Wikimedia Commons, not about checking from who the image comes from.
- Moreover this image is very different from all other FPs of this bird and depicts a very interesting animal behavior in excellent quality and beautiful lighting and thus is of high educational value and also of FP level in my opinion -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Support I think the above conversation would be avoided if you told us why you think this FP adds something new when setting up the nomination. In this case what is new for me is the courtship display, pointing at the sky and spreading their wings, which is not something that existing FPs depict. Cmao20 (talk) 14:11, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Support Imho, the depicted courtship move makes the photography different from the others in the category. From a technical point of view, nothing to say. I am not a fan of the square shape, but it would not justify the lack of support. --Harlock81 (talk) 17:12, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Abstain An excellent photo. We have several takes on this beautiful view by misc. photographers (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ... to mention only the most similar ones). The image nominated here is certainly either the best one or shares this title with one or two other ones which are equally good. I may be biased but personally I prefer my own version due to the more atmospheric sky, the absence of people, and the slightly richer colors. Ultimately, the difference comes down to personal taste, and both versions have their own strengths. – Aristeas (talk) 10:35, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- I totally agree that this one is slightly better because the shadow at the left is less prominent, and because the tree at the right seems part of the composition, whereas here the branches seem to obstruct the houses of the background. The resolution is also higher. But unfortunately the other version was not nominated here, although it has been hosted here for more than a year now. If this one fails, we're not sure there will ever be one of both promoted -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:17, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, and this is why I did not vote with “oppose” etc. I just reserve the right to express my personal assessment and to abstain from voting here. – Aristeas (talk) 11:16, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, your image is really very good too. The subject is very photogenic. I didn't search through the many images that show exactly the same perspective. Can there only ever be one FP? Differences also arise depending on the time of year, so the tree on the right sometimes offers more, sometimes less of a view. Milseburg (talk) 16:31, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Oppose Thinking about it, I'm going to express a manifest opposition.

Support Good quality --Berthold Werner (talk) 18:22, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose Looking at the current FPs of this species I believe that we have already better images of this beautiful but common bird than this one: in terms of detail (here), compo (here) or with an addional element (like food, here). But also, this one of yours is much better, more detail, we see the tail and the bokeh is nice and clean. I came to the conclusion that this image is not one of our finest, sorry. Poco a poco (talk) 22:50, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review but a featured picture is not about being the best out of all featured pictures, it's about being one amongst the finest out of all images from Wikimedia commons. And if you have a look at the pictures from the 6 countries it was photographed, I think it's one amongst them.
- Also comparing it to the images you linked:
- - I personally prefer this one over the one with the flat blue background as such backgrounds are common, boring and easy to get with bird photography in my opinion. The background from this current candidate gives more context about the bird's environment while also allowing to deliver smooth bokeh on the background, giving an element of depth to the picture which I prefer over flat single color;
- - regarding the picture with the food it's interesting but that picture has a lot of noise, the whites are overexposed, there are chromatic aberrations and the shadows are too harsh so I think this candidate is better in my opinion;
- - this one is a side view while the present candidate is a frontal view which I think is interesting to give a nice different perspective;
- - finally this one is very nice but also noisy and with whites a bit overexposed.
- Moreover I like the present candidate because I like the bird's posture, the soft colors, smooth bokeh and good quality. So I honestly think the present candidate is of FP level -- Giles Laurent (talk) 23:17, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- When we have a lot of good pictures of a subject we do in fact raise the bar, that has been happening with butterflies, birds or wild life images. That's not just something normal but good and healthy for the project. I differ with your assessments about the other pictures but I don't think that it's the place to discuss that. Poco a poco (talk) 22:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Weak support Because of the chaos in the background. --Rbrechko (talk) 00:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Support Yes we have several FPs of this bird, however the colors of the plumage are really exceptional. Concerning the background, my personal taste is for a smooth bokeh (thus I understand and share Rbrechko's concern about the "chaos" behind). Still I find this picture FP-level due to the angle of view and excellent sharpness. The light is also compelling. I don't know if it's "the best of all FPs" but it's a FP in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

You should always create the nomination just before adding it to this list, so the time stamp is correct.

- Thank you very much. We have beautiful sunsets here, really spectacular sometimes, especially during the monsoon, when the weather is constantly changing with big variations of clouds, at different altitudes. It is sometimes even richer than here, but it does not always happen when the rice is at this height, low enough to preserve the mirror effect of the water. The rice here is planted only once a year, it grows extremely fast, and in the space of only a few days it is already high enough to camouflage the reflection -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Info Baird's tapir mother and baby (Tapirus bairdii). This is an endangered species, with only about 5,000 left in the world. They are furthermore famously secretive and primarily nocturnal. As a result, we have very few photos of this species at all outside of zoos. In fact, a google image search of a mother and baby returned almost exclusively zoo images. This was a stroke of luck: We went on a hike and found most of the park closed due to flooding. We explored where we could, seeing almost nothing outside of wet plants. Just when we were hiking back out and writing off the day as an "authentic rainforest weather experience" we saw these tapirs foraging in the distance. Apparently sometimes on especially rainy days they're seen during daytime hours. After a short while of standing still and watching these two, they decided to cross the path right in front of us. For the rest of the trip, we'd mention this experience to guides/locals, and none had ever seen a baby in the wild before (and adults only a handful of times). Extraordinarily lucky, memorable experience. Anyway, this is all to say "I know it's dark and rainy, but I think it's worth the feature anyway". :) all by — Rhododendrites talk | 18:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Support Unusual composition but I really like it, with the mist over the hills, the choice to feature a lot of sky adding a real sense of openness and space - some parts of this panorama are sharper than others but overall I think it deserves the star Cmao20 (talk) 14:18, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Info Magnificent sea anemone (Radianthus magnifica), Zanzibar, Tanzania. This anemone, native to the Indo-Pacific area, is characterized by a flared oral disc, which reaches between 20–50 centimetres (7.9–19.7 in) in diameter. The magnificent sea anemone has two feeding methods. The first one is through the photosynthesis of its symbiotic zooxanthellae, living in its tissues. The second method is through using its tentacles to stun, immobilize, and consume prey (small invertebrates, fry, or juvenile fish). Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 06:58, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment According to WoRMS Heteractis magnifica is not the valid name for this species (most of the Wikipedia articles are not up to date in this respect, e.g. the English Wikipedia invokes only articles published before 2011!), please correct. --Llez (talk) 07:28, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- As I always do, I take Wikipedia/Commons as reference. In the movement we use that name. I cannot tell why we differ there but so long I'd stick to the convention in the movement. Poco a poco (talk) 11:01, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Support, but I agree with Llez on the necessity of checking the species name in an updated database, and en.wiki may not always be the right one. In this case, Radianthus magnifica is the accepted name, while Heteractis magnifica is not. --Harlock81 (talk) 20:11, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

- Hi Agnes, it is correct that you should not change a file name during the nomination, unless you know exactly how to change the code too. But if you like, just write what new name you want for your file and I will fix everything for you. Please 'ping' me if you want it done. --Cart (talk) 12:18, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Info Trees reflected on building windows, Conde Valbom Avenue 30, Lisbon, Portugal. Created and uploaded by Jules Verne Times Two, nominated by – Aristeas (talk) 11:51, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
Support I love how this image plays with our perception. On the one hand there is the almost perfect reflection of the treetops; one could think that we see them through the windows and not just their reflection on the windowpanes (cf. this photo in which the central window is closed). On the other hand there is the central open window which destroys the illusion – but also reinstates it on a higher level because its windowpane reflects again the same treetops plus the window frame, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the composition. This combination reminds me of some graphics by M. C. Escher. -- Aristeas (talk) 11:51, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
Comment Aristeas, thank you for the nomination and for the nod to Escher! One of my favourite childhood memories is watching my dad draw Escheresque tilings, and when I was a bit older I became fascinated by his math-inspired works --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:44, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Comment I wonder where the bottom point of the opened window went. Shouldn't that have been visible?--Famberhorst (talk) 05:59, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Indeed, the absence of the window's bottom tip also helps to break the illusion! I'm curious to see what the image would look like after adding the missing bit of window and replacing the building interior with a reflection... Julesvernex2 (talk) 08:40, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- I have been looking at the photo for some time now, but if I understand correctly, the image does not correspond to reality?--Famberhorst (talk) 12:14, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, I assumed your comment was tongue-in-cheek and not to be taken literally. So what you are asking is if this photograph has in some way been manipulated? No, not at all. Above, Aristeas has elegantly explained what is going on, and Google's Street View provides a cruder perspective: [1] Julesvernex2 (talk) 13:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Question Even after the explanations, I'm not sure how to interpret the reflection on the open glass window. One would expect the whole area to be filled with reflected trees, but that is not the case! My interpretation is that part of the window's frame, in the interior, is also reflected. Am I right? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Exactly! The reflection shows the open window's frame, the room's ceiling (since the photograph was taken from the street level), and a sliver of the adjacent glass pane (I assume these are one-way mirrors, since we can see the trees through that pane). Julesvernex2 (talk) 22:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- This is my understanding, too. Thank you for the detailed description! I wanted to indicate the same with my nomination, but it got a bit too poetic/vague ;–). The one-way mirrors are the key to the Escherian effect. But the credit still goes to the photographer who has spotted the resulting visual effect and captured it perfectly. – Aristeas (talk) 06:30, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
