- Oppose Faded colours don't flatter this place. It is also not Jostedal, but the road to the Briksdalsbreen or Briksdal Glacier, which looks a lot nicer in real life... -- Lycaon 15:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose Good athmosphere but I think need more detail to an FP. --Beyond silence 01:39, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Question Is the haze caused by mist from the falls? The human eye can cut through mist very well and see plenty enough contrast, but a camera will have a much more difficult time at it. I'm not sure whether to support or oppose based on whether or not the low contrast in this image is a photographic mistake or just the nature of this location. -- Ram-Man 02:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think it is mist from the falls. This is what makes this picture so athmospheric in my eyes. --Jeses 11:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Neutral Excellent composition (when I first saw it I thought it was a painting), which is balanced out (negatively of course :) ) by the poor technical quality. Freedom to share 16:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Quality is really not enough for FP, though I agree the mood is nice. Such a great place deserves better photos! --Nattfodd 19:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

- May it is desire at the background, but less at the car. --Beyond silence 21:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - A fairly bland composition, aside from the motion effect--Ragesoss 02:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment- I'm kind of wondering how you achieved that motion effect unless you were also in a moving vehicle when you took the shot Madmax32 13:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is a technique called panning. This is sth that i am practicing for some time now. When the car passes you, you have to move the camera in the speed of the car and take the picture. It takes a lot of practise and also luck to get a good shot.--AngMoKio 17:46, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose (weak) I like the motion blur, but the orange "plot" is really annoying, and I'd have prefered more space in front of the car and not behind. Benh 21:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose but please try again. The cone is a problem, as is the blur on the back half of the car. I wonder if that is not motion blur, but simply too small a DOF? Regards, Ben Aveling 07:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is motion blur, it was intended to be like that. I actually think the cone fits where it is. Well try again? Such a picture is not so easy to try again...to see a Formula 1 safety car like this is a rare opportunity. And if you have the opportunity it is not a picture you can make several times until you have a nice one. Anyway thanks for your comment. --AngMoKio 10:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- How do you get motion blur on the back of the car but not on the front of the car? What camera settings did you use? And yes, I certainly do know what you mean about not being able to try some photos over again. :-) Cheers, Ben Aveling 12:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- f/8, 1/80s. The fact that the motion blur is only on the front has to do with the fact that you draw a half circle when you move the camera with the car - so the movement of the camera only fits to a certain part of the car. It is a bit difficult to explain. --AngMoKio 14:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I see. The amount of rotation required depends on the ratio between the speed of the car, its distance from you, and the exposure time. The speed and exposure time are the same for all the bits of the car but the distance from the camera differs by a significant amount, relative to your distance from the car, so the different parts would require a different rotation not to be blurred. That makes sense. I'd support this picture for QI. Given the circumstances, you probably did as well as could be done. But for reasons as per the above, it still falls short of FP for me. Better luck next time. Ben Aveling 01:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Info A edit by User wau--Richard Bartz 23:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice idea, but for me this new arrangement withdraws the dynamic/tension of the golden section away. It looks slight dull that way. A very nice and artistic thing on the original version is the space, which lets the object breath, plus makes the composition very surrealistic in my eyes --Richard Bartz 23:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Now, there is a unfortunate gradient on the left side of the background, could you fix that, please? Regards --Richard Bartz 00:29, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Une règle photographique conseille de ne pas centrer le sujet pour garder une dynamique! Voluntarily not centered to see why here:Rule of Thirds ;) --Luc Viatour 07:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I thought about the rule of third before my edit. But the rule does not speak about a plant leaning outwards to the edge of the picture. There is no clear movement or orientation to the right side (the drops at the right side of the plant are not little faces looking to the right, but act as lenses throwing light from behind to your eyes), the plant leans towards the left outside of the picture which lets me think of "The subject should not be facing out of the image". This is why I would place it a bit more to the center with a proporton of the left and right background of about 1/3 to 2/3 (about 1/4 to 3/4 in your picture). I would agree to your composition, if after starting to the left side the upper part of the plant would curve back to the right or if there were another small object like a fly at the right side as a counterweight. --wau > 20:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]- Info European beewolf (Philanthus triangulum), a solitary wasp. Though the adults of the species are herbivores, the name comes from the fact that the inseminated females hunt Western honey bees, paralyze them, placing several in a small underground chamber and laying an egg in the chamber with them, where they then serve as food for the wasp larvae (text taken from article here.I raised my own bar, was it enough?

- Comment It is not fair to compare the resolution of Alvesgaspar's or Richard Bartz' pictures with the reduced res ones of Fir0002 (although for their size they are often top quality). Reduced to the minimal allowed limits, many of us would rival Fir0002 any time!!! Lycaon 20:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment True my downsized images get improved sharpness etc, but they are good at full res too, and such quality can be expected and demanded from pix at this size. For an example take a look at this - Image:Large brown mantid07 edit crop.jpg which shows the quality of the image at 100%. Obviously not as high sharpness/quality as the down sampled image, but still quite acceptable. --Fir0002 www 09:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- To see by myself I reduced the size of this picture so it fits in a 1600x1600 square. It doesn't look as nice as Fir0002's pic IMO. You can do the same at home if you have some spare time too :) -- Benh 21:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- I just tried, you're right it doesn't look as nice, but to me it looks nicer (no offence to Fir0002) as it is real life and not a studio photo. I do have a little experience too in studio pics, as well as in real life images... Still, I do respect your opinion. -- Lycaon 21:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

- Info - The 1600px version was added at right (not a nomination). A lot better, isn't it? I've just come from WP:FPC slightly irritated with the "significant motion blur" pedantic chorus. Of course there is some motion blur and the DOF is not the ideal (3,5 mm in the present case), this was taken outside with sunlight, some wind and no tripode - which is useless with a 100 mm macro lens and quick moving creatures. Sometimes, we have the luck to meet friendly and cooperative models, like in this case, but that is uncommon. - Alvesgaspar 10:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I'm now starting macrophotography too. I have similar problems as yours (and this is a reason why I haven't uploaded any of my pics yet, they won't meet expectations here). I've found out however that increasing ISO to 400 (and even 800) is a good compromise. It allows you to use smaller apertures and get a shallower DOF, or to use shorter time exposure. What you lose in noise is fairly compensated by the increase of sharpness and DOF. Wonder if other more experienced macro shooter agree. Benh 11:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment One thing I might add to this comment is that Commons needs al kind of pictures of organisms and not only those that fulfil FP or QI requirements. So please upload. From the 401 pictures I've uploaded so far, only 61 (15%) made it to QI and 13 (3%) to FP. E.g. the photomicrographs of user:Fabelfroh are very useful, though too small to be featured on these pages.Lycaon 12:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose -- Don't think HDRs are FP material (too artsy, might as well change colors as we see fit), also the image needs a retouched template. Dori | Talk 23:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think one should oppose a picture just because it's HDR (but I don't say it's what you did here). HDR allows to override limitations of our material which I read have small dynamic range, lower than that of our eyes (you can notice that easily if you take a picture inside a cathedral and try to have details on both dark walls and bright stained glass, you likely won't be able to achieve this without HDR). Thus I'd say that a proper HDR can result in a picture more natural than non HDR ones. On this picture, contrast is high and maybe it's a bit oversaturated, but this is certainly not due to the HDR tone mapping itself I think. Benh 06:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Right, I meant HDR pictures that result in psychedelic, unrealistic colors (unless it was specifically an image to demonstrate such HDRs). Dori | Talk 13:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- It's true tone mapping can lead very easily to very ugly things, and Category:HDR images looks a bit like a gallery of horrors at some points, but I don't think (hope) that it isn't the case with the image presented here. --Nattfodd 15:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- HDR by itself is indeed no reason to oppose, but al least a {{Retouched|}} template should be there. The picture has other issues anyhow. Lycaon 07:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Right, I meant HDR pictures that result in psychedelic, unrealistic colors (unless it was specifically an image to demonstrate such HDRs). Dori | Talk 13:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- The human eyes and brain naturally make HDR, adjusting to brightness "on the fly". A camera sensor can't, and this is why sometimes (it's the case here), tone mapped HDR is more realistic than LDR images. As for the whole "retouched" business, I didn't edit anything out of the picture, and cameras themselves modify very heavily an image, especially when they convert it to jpg. People need to get rid of this sacred view of an out-of-the-camera picture, because it's usually much less retouched than what a human can do manually from a raw file and with a memory of the scene. --Nattfodd 07:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

- But even on the well made I have second thoughts after scrutinizing your image: letters are not aligned, nor equally spaced (e.g. +VE and -VE symbols). Lycaon 18:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- The less-than-ideal appearance of the subscripts is an artifact of whatever software Wikimedia uses to display images. They look find in Inkscape. The non-alignment of +VE and -VE is my aesthetic decision; I chose to put them in the center of the horizontal lines they are connected to. (I have made some slight alignment improvements as a result of Lycaon's comments, but they are barely noticeable when using the Wikimedia SVG viewing software.) --Gerry Ashton 19:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

- The blobs are artifacts of the SVG rendering software used by Wikimedia and so is the unevenness of the negation bar over F=not (A+B). Indeed, an earlier version that accidentally had a negation bar that was too long showed the bar in the thumbnail, but in a large rendering the bar was completely invisible!

- Bar is too short when downloaded and viewed with inkscape (well actually not too short, just starts too soon). Blobs are also visible on downloaded copy when viewed with "Eye of GNOME 2.16.1" so there is something there that two different programs render as blobs. :-) --Tony Wills 02:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

- True thing, next time I go shoot night panos I'll take off my UV filter. that should help with the flare. Unfortunately my D40 only goes down to ISO 200 so there'll always be a little more noise than I would like. -Fcb981 18:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose if you want but the vignetting doesn't bother me in the thumb size, is difficult for me to decern in the 800px size and I don't notice it in the full size. also, sorry, but it would be extremely difficult and time consuming to clone out the ghost on every street lamp, not to mention I think the results would be bad. I will talk to Klaus with K though -Fcb981 19:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

- Question Vignetting ? are you talking about the gradient that can be seen on the sky ? Because I believe this is natural. If the sun goes to bed on the right side of the picture, isn't it normal that this part of the sky is brighter ? - Benh 20:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, the gradient is natural and I have no problem with that. I am talking about how there are uneven bands in the gradient as a result of stitching, and those can be fixed. To see it best, zoom into the sky and scroll back and forth. --Digon3 talk 21:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - The title reads Vasco da Gama delivers to the Calicute's "Samorim" (king?) the letter from King Manuel I of Portugal. For this picture to be valuable to Wikimedia projects some explanation about the painting (author, date, place of original, etc) and the episode it depicts are essential. The file contains none. Also, it is an obvious scan of a book. - Alvesgaspar 22:01, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment a poor quality scan of a book and no explanations are provided about the painting - Alvesgaspar 22:01, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- This is a curious allegation, I'm sure you did not take enough time to study this work. This is NOT a scan of a book, it's a photomechanical print, and it's NOT a painting. This is a very valuble, high quality and beautiful engraving and all the information is on the file description: "Vasco da Gama delivers the letter of King Manuel I of Portugal to the Samorim (Saamoothiri) of Calicut." I cannot explain on Commons what is the Saamoothiri, that's why there's a link to the respective Wikipedia article in two languages. Dantadd✉ 22:55, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

- Info Roesel's bush-cricket (Metrioptera roeseli) which is 15mm or half an inch in size is a European bush-cricket, named after August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof, a German entomologist. 1749 he wrote in a description: „§ 10. Da diese Thiere sehr bösartig sind; so hat man sich in Acht zu nehmen, wenn man sie fangen will: dann sie pflegen wo sie die blose Haut finden, so scharf zu beissen, daß so gleich das Blut darnach gehet. Zur gleichen Zeit flüsset auch aus ihrem Mund ein brauner Safft, welcher nichts anders ist, als die in dem vordern Schlund in eine flüßige Materie verwandelte Speise. Daß aber ihr Bis mit ziemlicher Gewalt geschehe, erhellet daraus, daß man sie in den Hut beissen lässet und selbigen zur gleichen Zeit wegziehet, der Kopf mit dem Schlund an dem Hut allezeit hangen bleibet, und von dem übrigen Körper los gerissen wird.
I try a short translation :) Because of the badness of this animals you have to take care if you want to catch them, because if they find plain skin, they bite as hard as possible, until the blood will rinse. At the same time there will be a brown liquid comes out of their mouth, which is nothing else than fluidified transformed food. You have to take care about your hat if they stifle onto it, because of the strong impact of the bite the head will seperate from the body if you try to pull it away.

- Oppose Although there's no actual overexposure, if you check the histogram in Photoshop, the background does seem very washed out while the animal doesn't. Sorry, but the image doesn't look natural to me. --MichaelMaggs 07:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

- What, are you insinuating that he pasted the reindeer onto the background?!...Only kidding. Vladsinger 02:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't 'insinuating' anything, but the image as it appears here does have a washed-out-looking background, probably because of the harsh lighting you mentioned below. Maybe some selective work on that in Photoshop would help. --MichaelMaggs 20:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - I agree. Though the composition is great, the quality of the picture is not good enough - Alvesgaspar 17:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- What specific "bad quality" are you refering to? The reindeer is sharp and well contrasted to the background. The lighting was pretty harsh when I took this shot (one of the rare sunny moments on the hike) and this is the colour of the vegetation on the slopes of Mt Kebnekaise. I really don't get what the criticism is all about. --Nattfodd 19:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - There are two criticisms: one concerning the washed out background and the other the animal itself, which is somehow fuzzy and with poor detail. - Alvesgaspar 20:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

- Neutral The DoF is fine, because the plane of sharpness is properly oriented: the entire top of the plant has even sharpness. The colors are amazing too.

please log in to vote. Lycaon 19:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Maybe if there were a clock in the picture so that the hour hands could indicate that the cycle here is supposed to represent24 hoursseveral hours. On the other hand, the pendulum's period is probably only a few seconds at most, so that would work out to thousands of oscillations over a 24> several hours period. 67.96.174.66 19:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Sorry for not signing in before. Spikebrennan 21:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)- the speed of the animation isn't necessarily unphysical as no one says it's the earth that rotates (though admittedly the compass suggest this). Anyway it is a very nice illustration of the idea of a Foucault pendulum and the captition can explain the speed and few oscillations. Moravice 19:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]- Info created, uploaded and nominated by myself Dori | Talk 15:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I took this picture from the window of a moving car. No other good way of taking it without endangering yourself or the other cars as the road is pretty narrow and you can't always see the cars coming. At the very bottom of the picture you can see part of the road and a car. I didn't crop that out in this version to give a better idea of the scale. Dori | Talk 15:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Support The contrast is better than the other similar picture in Wikimedia Commons, and the picture is useful for someone contemplating a visit to the area. --Gerry Ashton 03:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I would recommend cropping the road out of the picture. Freedom to share 16:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment. I felt that it would detract from the image as you then don't get a good feel of scale. The road is way at the bottom so I don't think it's distracting. Dori | Talk 17:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose The hill on the left unbalances the image to much for me. Surely it could be retaken with better composition. -Fcb981 17:04, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- You can take another picture, but you'd have to fly in front of the mountain or have a big enough telezoom lens to take from another mountain. I have another image of the mountain here showing the winding road. Besides, I actually like the intersecting slopes, I guess it's a matter of preference. Dori | Talk 17:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Considering that this is @ 24mm I doubt that you would need much of a telephoto to take it from another mountain. I've taken pictures of mountains many miles away with a midrange zoom. There is a hill on the right visable in both pictures. maybe you could have hiked over there. -Fcb981 11:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]- Info created by Samulili - uploaded by Samulili - self-nomination. This image of the district of Martti is good in that it actually covers the district very well. Martti starts from the wooden houses with red roofs on the lower left corner and goes and ends at the houses that form a line on the right. On the horizon, Martti ends at the brown (? sorry, colour blind) houses in the center. The angle of the image is about 70 degrees. (Admittedly, any insects on the picture will be out of focus.)

- No, you're completely wrong, sorry. And it's not because a photography is a static image that it can't have a dynamic composition and give an impression of movement. A trivial example is a photo of a car with motion blur. --Nattfodd 08:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Dynamic composition is a term I understand, but I feel that a reindeer running or something like that would convey a much greater expression of movement. I see that you tried hard, but the first time I saw that image, the thought "Oh, that reindeer is in movement" did not instantly enter my head if you see what I mean. Look at . Now that is a good example of a reindeer in movement (excellent photography, by the way :) ). It has a good composition, it is shown in its natural habitat, you can see that it is walking and you can see the whole of it. Freedom to share 15:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I knew as much that sea urchins do not have eyes, but I myself was not sure what were the bright balls that did look as eyes. Then I found out what they were. I have not asked a question about this particular sea urchin, which is nominated here, but I believe it is the same part of the body that I saw at Madagascar.

- All three of those. It's an HDR image from three exposures, and it has been upscaled. There also was some noise removal (but only in the sky). --Nattfodd 13:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose because of the lack of details. Try downsampling the original photo (upsampling is never []a good idea IMO) to try and sharpen it. The lack of sharpness may also be due to the HDR proccess, did you use a tripod? --Digon3 talk 14:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose I have to first apologise to you, Nattfodd, for breaking my promise. I had thought that the blur was due to the upscaling, but now I see that even the original is not sharp. Maybe you could try using a tripod and shooting at a higher f number (just a suggestion, but you are probably better at this than I am :-) ). I like the image, but I am forced to oppose it. With my most sincere apologies, Freedom to share 22:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC).
- No big deal. I didn't use a tripod because I hadn't taken it with me (this is shot from the top of a small peak). And I couldn't get a much smaller aperture because the wind was blowing very strongly (I had some trouble standing up!) and so the clouds were moving really, really fast, which meant I needed fast shutter speed for the bracketing... I'm sure I could have done better, but I don't know how :) --Nattfodd 11:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

- Comment I will not argue more on this case. Just wanted to bring your attention on that point. On the french featured picture candidates page, the "value" criteria is stated as "utilité" (usefullness). This rule says : "Beau" ne veut pas dire "utile" wich seems quite clear to me, but not to everyone. I first thought the FP images should have a kind of encyclopedic value, but after observing the fp nomination process during a few weeks i concluded it is rather a way of building a collection of beautiful and technically perfect photos, constituted by a small team of devoted users. I am sorry to say so, but you should have the honesty to recognize that. My opinion is that commons has a real problem with values. And as all opinion it must be respected even if you don't want to think about it.Benwik 15:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit]- Info Digger wasp of the Sphecidae family (Bembix oculata) chasing a fly. It all happened in front of my eyes and I had very little time to point and shoot. I know that the picture falls short of technical perfection (sharpness, lighting, DOF) but I couldn't do better under the circunstances. Hope that the value of the catch mitigates the technical flaws. Created and and nominated by Alvesgaspar
- Info - After paralysing the fly with the sting the wasp is sucking its internal fluids using a beak-like extension of the mouth-parts. The dyptera won't survive the experience... - Alvesgaspar 06:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice catch :) If you ask for extenuating circumstances i would say: This is a regular part of the Wasp's life. This happens every day, and is not very special. You just have to wait patiently, observe and calculate the daytime. So why not going back tomorrow on the same place and make a sharp one with f12-16? I believe she is waiting for you ;) As you have well foreseen, the technical perfection is on the borderline (DOF, noise, oe, sharpness, size!) and I think it doesn't satisfy a Featured Pictures need.

There are few plant but not real nature (potted plant). These days many butterflies are living in a city(among buildings). If butterfly photo's background must need real natural things only, it maybe doesn't seem natural. On the other hand the banding makes people feel unnatural. That's right as you are saying.

Otherwise there would have been no foreground or less sky. And it was my first try so i didnt spend much time on the composition isue. But the mood and the light make it nevertheless a great picture.

Moreover if you feed a dionaea with dead or half dead bug the trap won't completely close because in this process is involved the movement of the insect, and my trap is completely closed.

- Info The tiger beetles are a large group of beetles known for their predatory habits. As shown a Sandlaufkäfer 'Cicindela hybrida' which is 12mm in size. The Frons (forehead) and the claws are a very important part to identify many species, so i did a 4x magnification which is very difficult to produce.

- Comment Iam not a Entomologist, but i think (based on watching) they left the cold ground when there is foul weather. They also have wings which they can use to reach leaves and rocks.

- Support I agree, there are many bugs in FP, but few of such a high magnification, so IMO the standard is raised by this photo already. Wow. -- Slaunger 22:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

- Info Iam very disapointed about the progress on this picture above, but . . . I dont give up :) I strongly believe that the head with the
clawsmighty jaws are the most interesting element on this insect. Shots like this on a insect with 10mm or less than half an inch in size, taken biaswise are the most difficult things in macro photography. Did you knew that in the strict sense macro photography starts with a magnification greater than 1:1?

Then the less good news: DOF is not really sufficient and above all: this is not its natural environment, it's supposed to be sand! Did you manipulate the beetle (chilling)? They are normally notoriously fast. (compare with this picture). Lycaon 20:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)- Comment It was taken on a river bank and there was no sand far and wide. I can report that there was plenty of rocks and hedges. So i would say this must be his natural environment, maybe not cliché. About DOF, I think we can life with that, because i allways tried to get the maximum, as shown here with f/14 and 2/5 sec. Here and here the DOF on this kind of resulution was not a problem, too.

- More space would make this picture useless in articles because they often revertet my pictures with the reason that picture with a lot unused space in the background wastes too much space in the article.

- Comment I'm not crazy about the pic because of the stuff in the background and the water bottle, but I think automatically throwing out a picture because it's 1.92 Mpx instead of 2.00 Mpx is plain silly. I mean, seriously - 0.08 megapixels???? Soljaguar, you should just photoshop this baby up to 1633x1225 (keeps everything in proportion) and let the pic be judged on merit rather than petty technicalities.

- Comment On the basis of recent votes here, upscaling is one thing that will definitely disqualify a picture. The way to get around the minimum size guideline is for the contributor to upload a version at higher resolution. The probable reason this one is so small it's that it's been downsampled, which many voters here don't approve of unless it's done for a technical (as opposed to a commercial) reason. --MichaelMaggs 17:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

- Info it's easy :) there is a cable car which takes you to the top of the Aiguille du Midi from the city of Chamonix. This cable car stops at 2 stations, and you of course have to go to the top one where you'll find an elevator to the very top platform from where this picture was taken. The platform is panoramic (360°), and offers a great view over the valley of Chamonix and Mont Blanc massif. Benh 20:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- So you're saying that there is no climbing involved to see such a sight? Freedom to share 20:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately no (unfortunately because that makes it a crowded site, and among them, a lot of photographers !). I think it's really worth it ! Benh 23:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Too bad... That takes some of the fun away :) Freedom to share 08:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- If you like fun, there are plenty of opportunities in the valley of Chamonix :), the best ones for photographers being to me some nice footpath for hiking, which was why I was there. (Unfortunately, I didn't have great weather for photos :( ) Benh 09:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, and one last question: What lens, focal length, exposure time and aperture did you use? Thanks, Freedom to share 12:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't take this picture (I'd have loved to :)) But my friend and I use exactly the same equipment : Canon EOS 400D with EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS, a tripod, and Canon RC-1 remote control. All pictures were taken at 17mm, f/8.0, 1/400s and ISO 100 (most important thing here being the small aperture for shallow DOF). Benh 14:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- And you stitched them using Photoshop CS3? I myself have an EOS 350D, but I am still playing around with the 18-55 kit lens (which is not a bad wide angle lens) and am planning to upload some of my pictures to commons later on when I take better ones. Any advice on mountain and landscape photography? And also, what do you need the remote release for? Is it not just cheaper to make it shoot after 10 sec and it will not experience any shake either if put on a tripod? :) Freedom to share 20:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, I stitched them using hugin, a cross-platform open source panorama photo stitching program. A problem with mountain photography is the speed of clouds: with the remote control you can shoot quickly without any shake and then you can stich photographs without photoshoping them.

- Info Similar to the nomination of Mont-Blanc below, and taken at same time. This one is not as impressive and sharp, but it has a slightly different mood because of the flare from the sun and shows what can be seen from the other side of the top platform of Aiguille du Midi.

- Oppose Too overexposed and washed out. Dori | Talk 01:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support, the right part is effectevly washed out, but I would not say that this overexposed. One can say that the left part is underexposed. In mountain specially with snow and high altitude, the light is rough and when you shot for a panoarama like this one, you have to find the right compromise. Romary 11:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support Very nice picture, but some part at near middle is looks bad because of light. --Beyond silence 12:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Info - In Commons FPC all votes have the same value. Only in the English Wikipedia it is used Weak support, Strong support, Weak oppose, etc. Alvesgaspar 12:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment, The picture is clearly very bright on the right side. As Romary said, I had to find some compromise. When taking several pictures that are to be stitched together, I have to keep the same settings. This panorama has both bright and dark areas, so my settings which were good for the central part of it are inappropriate for the right side. Here I gave priority to the mood (lighting wouldn't have let me catch many details anyways), which is why I included the sun and the haze around it on the frame. Benh 14:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Did you use a lens hood? It could have helped a bit. Also, you can expose two stitched shots differently as long as the histograms are similar. If you use Photoshop for stitching, it is not too unforgiving. :) Freedom to share 20:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure it would have helped me because I included the sun in the frame (you don't see it entirely because of the crop, but it was there). I wanted the flare (but not so much "haze") but apparently it seems not to the taste of everyone :'( Benh 21:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry - right hand side has too much lens flare, and I'm not a fan of horizons which cut through the centre of the picture. --MichaelMaggs 17:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

- InfoI like the picture and its mood, but after what happened to me, I'm very sorry to warn you that this building is in France (Strasbourg), and therefore is a copyright violation. This may seem surprising from me, who have nominated a panorama of Museum of Louvre and its copyrighted pyramid, but in my case, case law seems to be in my favor because of the surrounding place which is framed and which can be considered the main subject into which the pyramid blends. Here, it's obvious that the only subject is the European parliament. Cas law doesn't apply here. Benh 11:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I think an image like this, with few lighted spots and otherwise mostly dark, can only be done in reasonably good "exposure" via an HDR composition / tone mapping, or else most of it will seem to be underexposed.

Also, light was coming from behind, so snow was very bright and I believe the picture is true to what I saw. Benh 11:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

- I don't see any tilt. Can you point the "litigious area", I just want to correct if there's an error, no argument here :). Maybe you are talking about the not horizontal line of the building in the back ? Because this is caused by the projection used (equirectangular here). Benh 18:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's a very slight tilt or appearance of tilt from that building in the background (with GIMP I measured it at 0.26 degrees :), it's the ghosts that bother me the most though as they're numerous and throughout the picture. Dori | Talk 23:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

(back to English, uf) Also, the building is not razor sharp as it should: the worst part is at far right. Sorry to go against the concensus (and also against Benh who is doing an excellent job, hope he will be soon ready to join MOP) but I'm used to the perfect pano buildings of Dilif. Indeed there is a tilt but it is minor Alvesgaspar 16:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Une comparaison pas très juste ;) Actually, I felt into serious photography after having seen a Sydney harbour pano of Diliff. About my picture,I feel it's still sharp on right, so I'm a bit surprised ?? Maybe I'll try to get another shot of this with my new lens and at a more appropriate time. Hopefully, this will fix the issues mentionned above. Thanks for your encouraging comment by the way ! Benh 18:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

- Support I think it's a good picture, with a nice composition, nice colours and lighting of an unusual place. I haven't spotted any stitching error as well. On the other hand I think it's a biiiit soft and a biiit noisy, but really no reason to oppose for lme. Benh 21:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Excellent work on the panorama, but the lighting and softness detract enough that in my opinion it's not FP worthy. Dori | Talk 21:42, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support - Yes, it is a bit noisy and not exactly razor sharp. But the excellent composition and colours mitigate those minor flaws - Alvesgaspar 22:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support I remember seeing this at Photography critiques and thinking what a great picture this was. Now that it is cropped and the blurred spots are gone, I think this is good enough for FP despite the fact that it isn't super sharpness. --Digon3 talk 23:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Info The pano from photography critiques Digon3 is referring to is this one in its third iteration. One of the many photos in that stitch was out of focus and it was not recoverable. But actually, instead of cropping that out I went out and retook the scenary on another nice evening, this time using a stone as tripod. I wanted to get the best possible resolution, so I zoomed in and took plenty of photos with large overlap in pano mode on my Canon IXUS 800 IS compact camera. The camera names its images nnA, nnB, nnC and so forth, but what I did not realize was that I got to nnZ while shooting the left most part of town and the camera kept on saving images as nnZ, thus overwriting my photos. As a consequence I actually did not get the leftmost part of the town (see this helicopter shot to get another impression of the town) included in the FP candidate pano I have nominated here. But now the subject is 4000 km and 3000$ away in flight tickets.... -- Slaunger 06:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- Comment and Question Very nice composition and especially light is very good on the artist. The photo has a nice atmosphere. One concern: I find that the photo is not that sharp. On the other hand it has almost no noise (which is of course good). Has noise reduction postprocessing been applied to such an extent that it has compromised the sharpness? I could accept a little noise if the artist thereby got sharper. -- Slaunger 07:08, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - That is exactly my concern. The face has lost all detail and I suspect that was the result of denoising. It is a shame because the composition and light are superb. I might review my vote though, depending on the explanations and the possibility of an improved version (I suspect there will be quite some discussion about this pic...) - Alvesgaspar 07:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- How can one oppose Vienna Teng ? ;) Benh 09:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Neutral I'm a huge fan of Vienna Teng and her piano (yup, even in France, I know her !) and am therefore very happy to see this picture here. In addition, the composition is so superb that I can only support. Buuuut exactly as above, I think the picture is tooooo soft, and completely agree that trading clean appearance against sharpness could be a good compromise. I remain neutral in the hope this is fixed. But really, I think I would support even if the picture isn't improved. Benh 09:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
