Support Nice, interesting photo. The colors in the lake would normally be considered posterized, but I think that's fine with a satellite picture. I've never heard it said that Lake St. Clair is one of the Great Lakes, though. w:Lake St. Clair states that "It is part of the Great Lakes system, and along with the St. Clair River and Detroit River, Lake St. Clair connects Lake Huron (to the north) with Lake Erie (to the south)." Can we substitute that description (or better, an excerpt of it), for the claim in the file description that Lake St. Clair is "one of the Great Lakes of North America"? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:51, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, but I think it's better to take it out. I was just using the description on the source page. PalauanLibertarian (talk) 01:16, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a European satellite image; the caption writer probably isn't as familiar with the area and would not know most people who live there, let alone most Americans and Canadians, would not consider it one of the Great Lakes even if it's between two of them.

Oppose I supported it for QI, but I don't find it a great composition. It's an interesting picture, but I think the bottom part with the baskets is the most interesting part. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:47, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support The tilt at bottom isn't really too noticeable until you look at it at full size, and I wonder if it's more subsidence of the floor. I do wish it could be a little sharper, but this is a nice mix of earth tones in a (to me) interesting composition. Daniel Case (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A bit too posterised for my liking. --SHB2000 (talk) 08:14, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment SHB2000: Honestly, I am not a fan of votes based on liking and taste. You have the right to like or dislike an image, but support/opposition in FPC requires reasons beyond taste. IMHO if the effect or technique does not have a suitable result, it should be criticized from the technical aspect, not personal preferences. -- IamMM (talk) 10:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if you're specifically nitpicking my oppose vote solely because I said "for my liking", but it would have made no difference if I had said "A bit too posterised". I stand by my vote. SHB2000 (talk) 10:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, this is still just your personal taste without having provided a posterization standard for this style of photography. There has already been a related discussion here. -- IamMM (talk) 11:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll bite: what if I had replaced "posterisation" with "overprocessed"? What difference would that have made? SHB2000 (talk) 11:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on how convincing the voter's explanation is. If it was only based on taste, I would still say the above points. I believe that the artistic goal of the photographer and her/his intention in using these settings should be considered. -- IamMM (talk) 12:46, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take this back for a moment. If my oppose vote simply said "Too posterised"/"Too posterized" or "Too overprocessed", would you drop your battleground behaviour? Those are perfectly valid reasons for opposing a photo – you're just being acrimoniously nitpicky because I said "for my liking". Anyway, Ikan Kekek has already responded below to what I was going to say. SHB2000 (talk) 09:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will ask the admins to take care of your offensive and disruptive behavior. These immature behaviors have no place in FPC. -- IamMM (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're the one whose behaviour is seemingly immature, but I've made my argument on ANU. SHB2000 (talk) 08:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No vote so far from me, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with SHB2000's oppose reasons. Posterization is a legitimate reason to oppose a nomination, and not liking it may be an insufficient reason, but it certainly suggests a lack of wow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: I completely disagree with you. Votes, especially opposite votes, must be justified by common sense. This is a serious project with clear criteria, and voting based on "liking" is not one of them. If a particular user doesn't like black and white images, it doesn't mean that the reason for the opposition is justified. How did you come to the conclusion that the oppose vote here have anything to do with the lack of wow? -- IamMM (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Had he just said "It's not to my liking," I would agree that wouldn't really be sufficient to explain much, but the fact is "No wow" is acceptable, as is "Not an FP to me because x, y and z about the photo are not to my taste," though if someone simply made blanket oppose votes against all black & white photos (or all portraits, landscape photos, etc.), that would be a problem. But in any case, he says "A bit too posterised for my liking." That's completely legitimate and a normal reason to oppose considering a picture one of the greatest on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was not convinced. You can have your opinion, but I still firmly believe that disliking posterization is not a valid reason in this case, just as it cannot be considered legitimate to disagree with a black and white art photo because of the lack of color. -- IamMM (talk) 06:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you want people to vote for a nomination, don't pick a fight about whether it's legitimate to oppose posterization. Most voters at FPC oppose posterization, and your pushing back about it left a bad taste in my mouth. Should I decide to vote for this photo, it won't be because I agree with your views about what constitutes legitimate opposition to declaring a photo one of the best on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:02, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will disagree with anything I think is wrong whenever necessary and you are not in a position to give advice to others in this regard, also the taste in your mouth is your problem, not mine. I will not answer you until you learn to express your opinion politely. -- IamMM (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"[Y]ou are not in a position to give advice to others in this regard, also the taste in your mouth is your problem, not mine." – well, someone's being hypocritical here... --SHB2000 (talk) 09:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you have something to say, express it clearly and politely without sarcasm. Continuing to behave away from civility will only make me ignore you. -- IamMM (talk) 09:28, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Saying things sarcastically (or even satirically) does not constitute incivility; whether my comment above was even sarcastic is questionable, though. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:05, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment IamMM, you think I'm being impolite to say that this has left a bad taste in my mouth? Are you unfamiliar with the idiom? Otherwise, you are being absurd. There's nothing sarcastic or rude about my remark. Do you plan to complain about me at ANU, too? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My complaint was from another user's sarcasm, but the last sentence shows that you deserved it just as much. Relax, I don't feel like playing this game anymore. Goodbye I withdraw my nomination -- IamMM (talk) 16:31, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per El Grafo. Agree File:Flower decorations at a wedding in India 03.jpg is better. ~~Here the right side is strange, and impacts the composition~~. The painted "Michelin" looks like something one wants to hide, but was superficially done. Thus it's a bit awkward.

However, I'm not so confident about my vote, since I am not too knowledgeable about the capabilities of the camera Winter used, so I've made this a comment instead of an opposing vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Male dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus), Cape Palos, Spain. Dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus) of about 150 centimetres (59 in) length and 60 kilograms (130 lb). This species is demersal, normally found in and around rocky reefs from surface waters down to as much as 300 metres in depth. It often occurs in the vicinity of beds of Posidonia sea grass. Dusky grouper adults are solitary and territorial, preferring areas with a rocky substrate but both adults and juveniles will enter brackish waters, such as estuaries. Their main food is molluscs, crustaceans, and octopuses. E. marginatus is a protogynous hermaphrodite. They attain sexual maturity at quite a late age, females begin to breed when they are around five years of age, and then between their 9th and 16th years (reaching a lengh of at lest 100 centimetres (39 in)) they change into males, most commonly at 12. They are reported to live for up to 50 years. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Yellow cluster anemone (Parazoanthus axinellae), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. Actually, it isn't an anemome but a zoanthid coral found on the temperate eastern Atlantic coasts of Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea and at depths between 23 and 45 metres (75 and 148 ft) on rocky substrates. Zoanthids differ from true sea anemones, in having a different internal anatomy and in forming true colonies in which the individual animals (polyps) are connected by a common tissue, called the coenenchyme. Each polyp has twenty-four to thirty-six tentacles disposed in two whorls. The polyps are 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter and 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in height. Note: we have no FPs of the whole order Zoantharia. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 08:36, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This view point definitely has potential, however, under these cloudy weather conditions, the washed out colors are not very attractive in my view, that's why I don't consider this picture as one of the best landscapes of the site, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose per Basile, but I'd like to see this in more colorful light or light that enables the landscape to have more color. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:38, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support It’s really a pity about the subdued light and flat colours. But this landscape looks so carefully arranged, the mountains, the hills, the trees and even the buildings draped with a discreet, but wonderful elegance like by an artist that I cannot hesitate to support, sorry ;–). The chapel on the hill and the sunlight on the snowy summits are the icing on the cake. --Aristeas (talk) 08:33, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I love manual focussing and I've used manual focus lenses even on DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. For the M11, it's generally easy. In this case, it was difficult, because I shot this wide open (M series cameras don't record the aperture correctly, they just guess it – so please ignore the Exif data) and even a small movement made a difference.

Comment Nothing important ;–). In the original photo the background shows some traces of purple and garish green CAs, especially at trees and around the wagon at the right (look e.g. at the number ٥٤٥ = 545 on the wagon). The CAs are not strong, but IMHO they make the bokeh rather busy; so reducing them makes the photo a bit more harmonious. And, above all, I expected that people could oppose because of these CAs. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 08:18, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry for being the party pooper once more, but this doesn't quite work for me. It doesn't transmit the same kind of character and energy our best water sports images offer. The subject feels just awkwardly frozen in mid-air, face hidden, without much sense of movement - I can't even guess which direction he's turning. A slightly slower shutter speed to get a little bit of motion blur on the faster moving body parts could have improved this dramatically, imho. --El Grafo (talk) 14:27, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I really feel the volumes of the sea squirts, which are photographed with admirable sharpness and detail. I prefer this to a square crop that would get rid of most of the light on the upper left.

Thanks for your comment, because I was on a tower I couldn't go further back.

The reason I wouldn't support the cropped version is because this content does not impress me as a picture with an extraordinary visual impact. Sorry but I don't find this particular formation awesome. Not all Google satellite captures are spectacular either, to offer a comparison. The strong contrasts are unaesthetic, and the diversity of the colors quite limited. No wow, but it is just my subjectively view, of course.

So it's just a satellite picture of an underwater formation? If so, I don't understand Basile's objection beyond the obvious seam. That obvious separation of tiles is going to prevent this from being featurable, but it's probably fixable. It's not misaligned or warped -- it's just a different tone, which shouldn't be that hard to fix in Photoshop. It's an interesting image with a lot of educational value -- I don't see why it wouldn't be featurable with that fixed. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 01:45, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Cluttered + blurry background-- Basile Morin (talk) 01:14, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support With the description, I find this a compelling and almost surreal photo. Why is a blurred background a problem? It's not the subject but helps set the scene. We have featured photos before in which the background is blurred but with recognizable outlines and the subject is a bird. So why is this one unacceptable? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Ikan. A sharp background would be disastrous for such a photo – only because the background is properly out of focus the subject becomes recognizable. And at the same time the soft background adds atmosphere to the photo and shows that we are in Malta. --Aristeas (talk) 07:50, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Ikan and Aristeas. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I can agree with Peulle that the church on the background is taking wiever's attention from the person. Mostly this is because person is backgrounded by shady side of a church. Changing angle a bit to place person on a projection of church facade would be FP with no objections. Sorry. Красный ^{wanna talk?} 13:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree the guy is in the shadow, and in front of a shadowy side of the building. As a consequence it's really the last element one notices when looking at this image, after the flags, the beam, and the blurry eye-catching facade. This man is supposed to be central, unfortunately we just see his back, behind the beam, dark, and like camouflaged -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:33, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Interesting subject, but the salience isn't good IMO. It took too long to work out what I was looking at. Maybe if the falling man was in front of the pole so we could see his face, or he wasn't in such deep shadow, or the church in the background wasn't so bright, it could work.

Oppose Harsh light. Nothing special in my view. And blurry on the sides -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:40, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Harsh light sounds odd here. A landscape or an object can be harsh lit under midday sun, but dense canopy which itself is diffusing, scattering, reflecting and dispersing the light, when photographed from the ground is bright at best. I would refer to tree canopies like this as 'bright and magical' but certainly not harsh lighted. Apart from the sunlight here is already subdued by scattered clouds. This place is special because not too many forest habitats are that old in the world. --Argenberg (talk) 13:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An ordinary tree does not become spectacular just because it's old, unfortunately. At least this picture does not reflect this peculiarity. Concerning the light, I maintain it's harsh, with strong contrasts. I've added notes to show were the blurry foreground is the most distracting. Too narrow depth of field. There is no visible sun rays like in File:Bruderwald-Herbst-026375.jpg for example. Not the best time of the day for shooting in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s a matter of taste. I find this scene spectacular with all the twists, curves, moss and old lichen. Old forests (over 300 years old) almost always do look spectacular to most people and you have to appreciate nature to find beauty in such scenes. You seem to have low tolerance for contrast. Harsh is usually associated with something undesirable like blown-out highlights or something, which is not the case here as the dynamical range is effectively preserved. The blurriness that you highlighted is natural in photography. Those are out-of-focus areas and I believe it does not have to be everything in focus in dense forest. You can play with out-of-focus areas and add them to the mix if it feels right. I don’t quite remember, but it is possible I intentionally placed those low-hanging branches in frame to grant it more depth and a spontaneous feel and to balance the composition. --Argenberg (talk) 12:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, so sorry to say that the more I look at your picture, the more the issues mentioned above embarrass me. So maybe it's not worth trying to convince me. I honestly think this image is not spectacular. Even though it is a great forest to walk through. I don't know, good for the planet, but photographically, no wow in my subjective view. Black shadows, wrong focus. Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:36, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you can have your point of view and your own subjective perception. I wasn’t trying to convince you actually. It was an attempt to describe what deems limiting to me. What I forgot to mention is that out-of-focus areas in frame can also add presence (in addition to perceived depth and spontaneity) to the scene to acquire more immersive and less stagy experience/appearance. It is commonly practiced in cinematography and photography. They can also be an artistic element in the composition on its own. By the way, the shadows on the left look pleasantly dark on my display, which is professionally calibrated, not black. Yes, someone may probably find the shadows dark, but if I were to lift them the image would then loose some natural dynamics and would become flat, I guess. Thanks for comments, anyway. --Argenberg (talk) 17:07, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, lifting the shadows wouldn't be a good idea. They are originally dark, not because my screen is badly calibrated, but because the photo was taken in the middle of the day, at 13:14. Harsh light = harsh contrasts = hard shadows -- Basile Morin (talk) 17:32, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is a nice composition with great expression - I don't suppose the bottom of the dress was there before you cropped the image was it? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The dress was actually much longer, covering almost the entire pole. For this shot, I zoomed in on the people, so the lower part of the pole is out of sight. This bottom crop is from the original. What is missing after cropping is more sky and buildings. -- Jakubhal 10:16, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Red sea squirt (Halocynthia papillosa), Cape Palos, Spain. This species of tunicate, also known as sea peach, occurs at depths of 2 to 100 metres (6.6 to 328.1 ft). It attaches itself to rocks and overhangs, or among Posidonia (seagrass). It can be found in the Northeast Atlantic, Western Pacific, along the Portuguese coast, and the Mediterranean Sea. Halocynthia papillosa is usually about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) high but can reach 20 centimetres (7.9 in). It can contract when disturbed. Note: there is no FPs of the whole order Pleurogona. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose First the composition is a bit touristy. I can understand the idea of having a tent in the context that this is a tourist camp site. But this particular tent, with shoes & flip flops etc. showing doesn't work for me. And secondly, the image looks a bit over-processed? The leaves on the trees and the bottom of the mountains right behind it. A bit of a water colour painting feel to me. Great for water colour painting, not so much for a photo. -- KTC (talk) 23:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sadly, I have to agree: this edit was unsuccessful and made the result much worse. Making the background blurry was anything but beneficial.

Oppose per Basile – and where the hell is "somewhere in Madrid"? --SHB2000 (talk) 07:08, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment An interesting photo, but here we see the difference between Commons and, e.g., Flickr. ;–) On Flickr a title like Somewhere in Madrid would work well; on Flicker redundant and vague tags are the rule, not the exception. Here on Commons, however, people (including me) immediately ask “Where in Madrid? What building is this? What kind of architectural element? From what epoch?” etc. For learning by example I have tried to improve the categories a bit, but for a useful filename, description, and proper categorization we would need to know what exactly this photo shows … --Aristeas (talk) 09:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment And adding some tentative categories really helps. After browsing Architectural elements in Madrid and the best-matching subcategories for 3 minutes, I have already learnt that this photo shows the relief over the central entrance at the north façade of the Edificio Grassy, 1 Gran Vía, built 1916–1917. Here are more photos of that building; this photo shows the north façade and we can notice the entrance with the number 1; this photo shows exactly the same relief over that entrance. I do not report this here to boast — on the contrary, I’ve never been to Madrid, I’m sure other people would have figured it out even faster. I just want to show that we can use Commons itself to indentify such photos. Now if the photographer could please clarify the caption of his nice picture and add the categories (hint: you can copy the categories of this picture almost 1:1), I would also like to vote for this photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So “somewhere in Madrid” is more or less exactly at 40.41916, -3.698052. Please add {{Object location|40.41916|-3.698052}}to the description of the photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:35, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Taking a look at the map shows that it should have been possible to take a photo from a larger distance. But on the other hand the intentionally low angle and the black-and-white add an air of mystery to the portal, making this photo much more moving that most plain photos of that building. --Aristeas (talk) 07:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New version uploaded - A few supported the portrait shot, and nobody expressed a preference for landscape, so I went ahead and reinstated the crop. As for the head, no -- not without adding something that wasn't actually there, anyway. The sun was bright, but it landed briefly unusually close to me and on a stick that actually provided some separation from the reeds (and wasn't backlit by the empty sky), so I'm happy with it anyway. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk | 12:51, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Probably 1/200s was not fast enough. Leg and arm are blurry. Also the background with beheaded spectators is too busy -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:14, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would imagine not going with a faster shutter speed was deliberate, being a panning shot to get the sense of motion rather than trying to freeze the action. -- KTC (talk) 20:52, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not very clear whether the blurry background is due to the camera motion or to the limited focus length (f/2.8). Probably both. But the upper crop is very tight -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:12, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The settings were a very intentional decision. The picture should show the dynamics of the situation, a longer exposure time would simply not have worked at this point. With a shorter time the argument would have come here again that the picture is static. And f/2.8 simply has the reason that the background should be as blurred as much as possible. The face and the upper body are sharp, the legs and the wheel show the dynamics of the situation. Everything intentionally chosen this way. Sandro Halank (talk) 09:50, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sport shots frozen in a short time appear "static" only when the action is unnoticeable. Cut off heads in the background and lack of lead room reduce the dynamism -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow. It's about 35 minutes after sunrise given to the EXIF time and location. Can a golden hour sun do that? -- KTC (talk) 21:32, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's golden hour, but the colors are yellowish -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:21, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In general, I would not read too much into the EXIF time and location of photos. GPS locations are often quite inaccurate, if not corrected in post with the help of a good map, and camera clocks are often not exact – for example, I do not care much about the time setting of my cameras, so the EXIF time of my photos is often off by an hour or more :–).

Abstain As author. Tournasol7 (talk) 12:32, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think the purpose of a set nomination is to include two images, seven minutes apart, for which you can't decide which one to nominate so just nominate both. I don't think either are exceptional. We have lots of pictures of nice buildings. The sunset one has a better sky but you underexposed it (compared to the other, 0.5 sec vs 3 sec) thus ending up a bit noisy compared to the first. I'm not over bothered about the noise but here it was preventable. Also f/11 is too small an aperture for a DX Nikon, and suggest you don't go below f/8. The picture isn't very sharp as a result. It's a fine QI but I'm not going wow for either, and all sunsets are pretty. -- Colin (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support I disagree with Colin here. The noise may have been preventable, but it does not ruin the image overall. The building and the sunset together to give a charming impression, hence the wow factor. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support The image on the right has the most wow-factor for me. I agree with Colin though that an aperture of f/8 might have been better to create a sharper image (I'm not a Nikon shooter and don't know the specific lens you used, so please feel free to disagree if I'm wrong). I also don't really see why you nominated a set. Overall, the wow-factor is sufficient for me to support this nomination. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No reason for this to be a set nomination, sorry. I would support the photo on the right if it was nominated by itself. BigDom (talk) 06:18, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a set according to the rules; not even the identical PoV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Unsure about the set rules, but support for both photos. The detail level is decent, the atmosphere is great. (In general the tip to stop at ƒ/8 on DX = APS-C cameras is very good, just as ƒ/11 is in general the last sensible aperture on full-frame cameras. But as Frank has intimated this is also a question of the lens used: if the lens has a really strong field curvature, a smaller aperture can still yield better results.) --Aristeas (talk) 08:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Male Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis) of a length of approx 20 cm (7.9 in), Cape Palos, Spain. This colourful fish can be found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the northeast Atlantic Ocean from Sweden to Senegal (with differences inn colour and genetics between Mediterranean and Atlantic populations). Like many wrasses, C. julis is a sequential hermaphrodite: all start in the smaller initial phase. These initial-phase individuals (both females and males) can turn into the larger secondary-phase males. At a length of about 18 cm (7.1 in), all individuals are secondary-phase males (and can reach a maximum length of 25 cm (9.8 in)). It feeds on amphipods, isopods, sea urchins, polychaete, shrimps, and small gastropods. Note: there is no FP of the genus Coris. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Cotton harvest in Xinjiang, China (aerial photograph). Created and uploaded by Azonesa, nominated by --Aristeas (talk) 08:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Two things make this vertical view special for me. One thing is the surprise: At the first glance this photo looks almost abstract – the high contrast, the limited colours and the row structure give it a strong graphical effect, it looks like a diagram or a flag. Only then I realize that it shows a cotton field with hundreds of cotton plants and two cotton pickers at work. The other thing is that we can really see the progress of the harvest in the photo – the harvested part of the field is almost desolate because the bright white balls of cotton have been picked … One could say that the contrast is too hight etc., but comparing other photos I think it’s just realistic. --Aristeas (talk) 08:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and Southwest Asia

Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Mammals/Carnivora#Family : Felidae (Felids)
Info The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and Southwest Asia (today restricted to central Iran). It is the fastest land animal, capable of running at 80 to 98 km/h (50 to 61 mph), as such has evolved specialized adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail. It typically reaches 67–94 cm (26–37 in) at the shoulder, and the head-and-body length is between 1.1 and 1.5 m (3 ft 7 in and 4 ft 11 in). Adults weigh between 21 and 72 kg (46 and 159 lb). Its head is small and rounded, with a short snout and black tear-like facial streaks. The coat is typically tawny to creamy white or pale buff and is mostly covered with evenly spaced, solid black spots. Four subspecies are recognised. -- 20 upper 08:14, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This version in full length is better in my view, if possible with a portrait format, cutting the tree at the right, and symmetrically balanced with the same space at the left. However the branch will be a bit distracting -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:27, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree that the branch on the right of the larger image is distracting, which is why I made this crop. I've tried to inpaint it but I think there are too many details to get satisfying results. (Still trying with fancier models but it's taking 5 hours to run and I don't have too much hope that it will work well.) I don't know why I prefer the legs cropped when zooming in that much, I believe that she prefers it too, and in my opinion it's better to have more space on the left because she is looking towards the left and her eye is the only one we can clearly see. What do you think? --Trougnouf (talk) 10:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The other version evokes a kind of Cupid & Psyche romantic painting, while this one seems awkwardly cropped to me, as if the camera was too close -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:47, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Too much editing of original. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:07, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful, evoking mythological reminiscences, as Basile rightly stated, and certainly something fresh. I have no problem with the retouching as long as it’s declared and serves a honourable purpose. --Aristeas (talk) 20:24, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How do you mean -honourable purpose? The picture was poorly composed; it could easily have been taken a few meters away. Should we allow that much cloning? It is a difficult area, but we run the risk of making the original composition irrelevant. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually if you look a few meters away in the uncropped version you will notice that it was in the shadows and that this spot was pretty ideal (minus a hanging dead tree). Besides, even though we spent some time in front of the tripod, we were moving and not focusing on it when the picture was taken and the emotions we felt at that moment is what I think is FP worthy. I also think that this composition works very well. Trougnouf (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing a background element to make an image look better for aesthetical purposes is honourable; manipulating an image in order to back up fake news (e.g. that an elephant has climbed the Eiffel tower, that Jesus Christ blessed Putin or that Biden did steal the last presidential election from Trump) is not honourable. --Aristeas (talk) 09:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The scene looks somewhat strange to me. What about that piece of cloth? Is it a piece of clothing, or just meant to cover certain parts? --Palauenc05 (talk) 22:00, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is a piece of clothing used to cover certain parts which she is not comfortable sharing publicly. Trougnouf (talk) 22:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what it looks like, which makes the composition unnatural. Which loving couple puts some cloth around the woman's waist, while the man is properly naked? Therefore I've decided to oppose --Palauenc05 (talk) 02:50, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's her decision not the couple's. She wanted some publishable pictures where no one's genitalia are visible, so she used it in some pictures and not others, I had it on in some pictures as well, we used each other too, and we have a lot of pictures which will be censored or not shared at all. I would like her to be even more comfortable with public nudity and I would especially like for society to accept it. I am happy that she is already this open. You are entitled to your clothing preferences but concluding whether two people make a loving couple based on one's clothing choices is silly. Trougnouf (talk) 05:32, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment first of all thanks to @Yann for the nomination and sorry for the delayed report. The symmetry some (including me) are craving for, can not be achieved here as neither the width of the streets are equal nor are the houses / roofs of identical shape and of uniform height. I tried this on several corners in Nice's old twon but the result has always been a assymmetrical X. The only modification done to the raw file is cropping and a slight tone mapping to brighten the shadows. --Virtual-Pano (talk) 22:52, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Ca. 5 centimetres (2.0 in) small slender peacock worm (Sabella discifera), Cape Palos, Spain. It's not a flower, plant or a coral but a segmented marine polychaete worm of the family Sabellidae that lives in a tube into which it can retract. S. discifera is a filter feeder and extends its radioles to catch phytoplankton and detritus. If you approach to them they retract instantly. The tube where the worm lives is calcareous and is attached to a rock, boulder or other hard surface and has a length of up to 5.2 centimetres (2.0 in). The tube is built by the worm using calcium stored in two white sacs on the ventral side of the second segment, or peristomium. The tube is fabricated by the glandular ventral shields on the other thoracic segments, where calcium is mixed with an organic secretion to make a paste. This is formed into shape by a collar found just behind the first segment, the prostomium. The anterior part of the worm protrudes from the tube and has a plume of about 40 feather-like radioles projecting from the peristomium, which also houses the two eyes and the mouth. A funnel-shaped lid or operculum covers the entrance to the tube when the animal retracts inside. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 12:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for nominating this "Freischütz - Jungle DLC". This was quite unexpected nomination as a small fast glimpse into misty Fanal which offered constantly changing scenes with passing clouds and humidity - feeling sometimes difficult to capture the experience of walking in this strange 3D environment. --Ximonic (talk) 16:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As an orchestral musician, I'm not bowled over by this, though it's a good photo and a potential VI. However, the cello soloist really should be identified in the file description. My opinion is that this kind of photo would be more impressive if the audience weren't quite so much in the dark, and there is sometimes a bit more house lighting, depending on the hall, though the audience being in the dark during the performance is the rule for the last century or so. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:59, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm going to oppose, because although the photo might be good enough, on the same basis that we don't promote photos that don't state what genus of animal we're viewing, I think it really is not acceptable to leave a concerto soloist unidentified. If someone identifies the cellist and adds his name to the file description, I will cross out this vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and the size and lack of sharpness. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:46, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Charlesjsharp: Calligrapher beetles are generally quite tiny, so it's unlikely to get a photograph with the entire organism in sharp focus. All the important features of the beetle, however, are sharp here. I think some leeway should be given for subjects this small (while still conforming to the minimum criteria). It's fine if you still choose to oppose, but I hope you will consider the limitations of macro photography when evaluating candidates. Cheers! Nosferattus (talk) 18:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have experience of the limitations of macro photography. I've not got an FP of a beetle this small. I can't see any EXIF data, so I don't know your camera/lens/settings. It's in focus, but it's not sharp. I imagine you have had to perform a big crop. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:11, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Charlesjsharp: So in cases like this, would you prefer more sharpness/resolution even if it meant sacrificing some depth of field (presumably by increasing magnification and/or tightening the aperture)? For example, what do you think of images like these (ignoring the watermarks): [2][3]? Would you consider those to be featured picture caliber (if they didn't have watermarks)? Nosferattus (talk) 01:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sharpness and dof are independent variables. Please share your EXIF. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:43, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I assume you're referring to the use of focus stacking? Without it, they are not independent: decreasing aperture will increase depth-of-field at the expense of sharpness, due to diffraction; increasing magnification to fill a larger portion of the frame with the bug will decrease the (effective) aperture, again affecting sharpness due to diffraction. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:25, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think this is quite up to current FP standards for macro photography. There's no EXIF to double-check, but I assume the softness is the result of a small aperture and/or a large crop? The best macro images we've seen around here lately are either focus stacks or those that use the limited depth of field to draw the observer's attention to a particular element (e.g. the eye of an insect or a flower's anthems) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Picture I liked that took of this bridge back in January. Shot this on a Mamiya 7 with Portra 400 and then scanned it digitally -- I think the film definitely provided some interesting, yet still accurate, colors I couldn't get from my DSLR. It was a beautiful sunset. Would love to hear what y'all think. -- wclarke 02:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thanks for nominating your shot! I really like the colors. I also like the Portra 400 film grain – we don't have many people these days who nominate film shots. However, you might consider applying some noise correction in post. The compositional weight is a bit too heavy on the right for my taste, but that's easy to correct with a tighter crop on the left. I'm always thrilled when people post their photos here who're not part of the same group of old regulars. So, please feel free to nominate more images! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support~~ Neutral Great analog capture whose film grain is charming. From time to time I still take pictures with my old Praktica LTL2. When the photo prints are ready, I'm all the more pleased with a successful shot. This increases the appreciation for a single image. Comment In the lower quarter of the image, a part of the water surface is blurred. This may be a post-processing mistake that can be fixed. -- Radomianin (talk) 06:53, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment I'm very sorry, as long as the blurry area in the bottom quarter is not fixed, I'm changing my vote to Neutral to be on the safe side. Dear WClarke, I hope you receive the ping: Fixing the above mentioned presumed post-processing mistake would be great to save this nomination. Many thanks in advance for your efforts.

Comment Indeed. I love this photo and would love to vote for it, but there is an abrupt transition between sharp and unshap in the foreground water, as spotted by Radomianin. I have tried to mark the right border with an image note. As this is very likely a post-procession mistake, it should be possible to fix this.

Not everyone has to approve restored images as suitable for Commmons FP status, Adam. Would the noise on this image, for instance, look the same if you examined a 19th Century print with a magnifying glass? Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:53, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty much, aye; might vary depending on lighting because texture shows up differently in different light and angles. I mean, the originaæ (File: Philippe Chaperon by Atelier Nadar - Original.jpg is a 19th century print, so compare at will. I'm pretty careful with trying to keep texture; I don't use filters. But 20 upper didn't say what the issue was, other than a vague quality statement, which is why I was asking.

Info Coral (Danafungia scruposa), Red Sea, Egypt. They are around 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in diameter and normally eat a variety of food from bacteria to mesozooplankton measuring 1 mm in diameter, although researchers observed the coral consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita. This was the first time such behaviour has been seen in the wild and it's not known how the coral captures jellyfish. Its polyps have diameters of up to 24 centimetres (9.4 in) and are oval or circular. D. scruposa is found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, the eastern central, northwestern and western central Pacific Ocean, Japan, the East China Sea, the Red Sea, and eastern Australia. It's found at depths between 1 and 27 metres (3 ft 3 in and 88 ft 7 in) on the slopes of reefs. Note: we have no FPs of the whole family Fungiidae. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:25, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info A juvenile threespot dascyllus (Dascyllus trimaculatus) of approx 4 centimetres (1.6 in) length in a magnificent sea anemone (Heteractis magnifica), Red Sea, Egypt. Dascyllus trimaculatus is native to the Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa, to the Pitcairn Islands, southern Japan, and Australia, and can also be found in some parts of the Philippines. It feeds on algae, copepods and other planktonic crustaceans. Generally, adults are found in small groups around coral heads or large rocks. Juveniles (like in this case) may be found associated with large sea anemones or sheltering between the spines of diadema sea urchins or branching corals. The magnificent sea anemone is characterized by a flared oral disc, which reaches between 20 and 50 centimetres (7.9 and 19.7 in) in diameter. The numerous tentacles exceed 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long. It's widespread throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area, from the eastern coasts of Africa, the Red Sea included, to Polynesia and from south Japan to Australia and New-Caledonia. It has been observed down to 40 metres (130 ft) deep. 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: there are no FPs of the genus Dascyllus and genus Heteractis. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:59, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As a photo of neurosurgery, it completely fails unfortunately. We can't even see the patient, never mind any actual surgery taking place (if indeed there is any, per Charles' question above). BigDom (talk) 21:13, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you sure it's ethical to show a patient whose head is being cut open? Maybe don't answer that is a rhetorical question) JukoFF (talk) 22:07, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Like Ikan says, it definitely could be ethical, consent is the key. Maybe if the photo were presented as simply surgeons at work, I could understand, but when the title says neurosurgery and the description says brain metastasis, but we can see neither, then it just doesn't work for me, I'm sorry. BigDom (talk) 08:36, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree that it fails as a photo of neurosurgery, per BigDom, but it succeeds as a composition and has drama. It's really a photo of medical staff who are conducting neurosurgery, not a photo of the surgery or the patient. As for whether it would be ethical to show a photo of the patient: Yes, but only if they were asked and signed a release form before the operation, while they were still clear-headed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:35, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment At first glance I miss the usual fill light (or reflector), its absence make the shadows on the right side very deep and let the head merge visually into the background. On the other hand this protects the photo from being totally conventional. I am curious how others assess this … --Aristeas (talk) 10:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I quite like the juxtaposition of a bold portrait for a conservative leaning president (a leaning mimicked by his tie, not sure if that was by chance or by choice!). A pity that the softbox is reflected on the eyes, though.

Info Maxima clam (Tridacna maxima), Red Sea, Egypt. Also known as the small giant clam, they are much sought after in the aquarium trade, as their often striking coloration mimics that of the true giant clam; however, the maximas maintain a manageable size, with the shells of large specimens typically not exceeding 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length. Bivalves have two valves on the mantle. These siphon water through the body to extract oxygen from the water using the gills and to feed on algae. The small giant clam has the widest range of all giant clam species. It is found in the oceans surrounding east Africa, India, China, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Red Sea and the islands of the Pacific. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:07, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate what you mean with "better", Tagooty? I appreciate lots of detail here for example Poco a poco (talk) 17:13, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To me, the existing FP has better lighting and striking colours. It pops out at me even at review size. At full size, it is clearer. The nominated image has a distracting shadow at the top and is less clear. Hence, IMO it is not good enough to be promoted as a second FP of this clam.

Diego, perhaps you withdrew too soon? I do agree with you at least on detail, there are details on this 42MP image that are absent from the 12MP one (of course, the larger image is softer at 100%, but that's not how one should compare acutance and resolution). One question though: the colours are significantly different between the two images, is that due to different lighting conditions or different approaches to white balance correction? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:32, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Julesvernex2 well, I don't know whether I should have waited longer. Nobody stepped in until you did, 3 days later. And still, getting the first 2 votes as opposes makes it almost impossible to achive a successful nom. Comparing the images I think that the WB can be adjusted a bit to make it warmer, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that the tone is similar, as the spectrum of colors of this clam species is very wide.

Oppose FP potential, no doubt about it but half of the image is an uninteresting bush. The composition would have been much better using something like 100 m and focusing on the cliff. The quality is also low, no detail can be appreciated. Poco a poco (talk) 18:25, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have many photos of the Boccale castle and its cliff, and many of them can be found on wikimedia also by other photographers. This shot is particular and unusual as it was taken for Wiki Loves Earth, for the Calafuria naturalistic area, and for this reason the vegetation was framed more than the castle, which however enriches the photo due to its particularity. This explanation seemed necessary to me. Thank you. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 07:21, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There will be nothing striking in the photo, but there is the majesty of nature in this photo, if you look carefully there is the sunlight on the right that illuminates the bush, the flora of the Calafuria nature reserve, the roughness of nature in the cliff, and the plants that grow there despite the arid and stony environment, with the Boccale Castle in the background. A picture in which the work of man is reconciled with the harmony of nature. Being in that place looking at the sea gives a sense of peace and being in harmony with the world. This I think I managed to photograph. I respect your opinion. Thank you. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 09:57, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't find everything you say right, moreover if I cut a piece of sky, the immensity of the nature of the place would be lost, sea, sky, wild vegetation, greenery in an arid place, cliff on the sea.

CommentSurely this FP will not pass, but I say that I proposed it not for personal pride but to make this place and the magnificence of the nature of this place known. I want to thank those who have understood my message, for your sensitivity.(⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 08:14, 26 June 2023 (UTC)Anna.Massini(⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 08:14, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It has 6 supporting votes vs. 3 opposing votes, so it could be as likely to pass as fail. But I'm going to share something with you. When I was in college, a placement audition I did as part of a routine procedure at the beginning of a semester was once criticized in the following way: I was told that in professional auditions, the judges look for someone who can play every note accurately, in rhythm, and with all the correct dynamics and articulations, and then they look for something extra. The judge said: "You have the something extra, but you don't always play the notes accurately. Why don't you practice more?" In that instance, the problem was not that my equipment was less than professional (in fact, I still use the same instruments today as a professional), but that I wasn't taking the placement exams seriously enough as practice for professional auditions, but I think there is an analogy to be made, so I would say to you: You have that something extra, but on FPC, we also count execution. Yes, it's really useful to have a cellphone at the ready. I take a lot of cellphone photos, but I have yet to upload any of them to Commons, because I have not yet figured out things like how to do perspective correction on an iPhone. Your cellphone photos are very good, but I believe that someone at your level of artistry deserves to have more professional equipment to develop further capabilities and be able to take more photos that are clearly among the very best on the site. I know in the past, Wikipedia societies in several countries have lent professional cameras to photographers who needed them for professional development. Are you sure you are uninterested in that? I'd like to think it's still possible for someone who's already developed a lot, as I believe you have, based on the work you've submitted. Note that I have no personal knowledge of whether these kinds of activities are still occurring, nor how they work, but those, anyway, are my thoughts. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:06, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'll share mine too. I well understood that I need better equipment, but for the moment I have no intention of buying or borrowing from someone, as these are such delicate things that I don't want them to break and then have to pay them back. Having said that, every now and then I allow myself to nominate FP when the photos convey particular emotions, especially when it comes to capturing particular lights, like the one on the bush from the right. About 20 years ago I started taking photographs precisely for the sake of immortalizing light. It happened that my mother became blind due to a rare disease, she could only perceive great flashes of light, and so I, at the time young, identified with her and realized how lucky I was to be able to see all the beauty of the world and of nature, I imagined how terrible it would be not to be able to see anymore, and since then I have tried, although a camera is not as powerful as a human eye, to capture all the nuances of light. For over 20 long years I have been my mother's eyes, daily, my eyes have seen for me and for her. I tell this so that you can understand the origin of my sensitivity, which seems like art, but it was an emotional journey. And I get excited when those who don't know me can understand. It means that through a photo I can convey emotions.Thank you. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 13:11, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Composition isn`t outstanding enough for FP in my eyes. Sky and bush are too dominating. Also grainy in detail. + Horizon is slightly tilted. I wonder about the stern of the ship. Not good enough for FP. Milseburg (talk) 12:05, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
okay. Thank you for your explanation. The dominant bush and sky, it is precisely because the photo was taken for Wiki loves earth, and therefore it is wanted. In the context of wild nature in an arid environment, with fascinating elements such as sea and cliffs, the beautiful Castello del Boccale can be seen in the background. It's all intended both to emphasize the nature of the place and not the Castle, of which there are many other photos on Wikimedia. Out of curiosity, I can say that the ships are still at sea waiting to enter the port of Livorno. A thousand thanks. (⧼Anna Massini alias PROPOLI87⧽) (talk) 12:41, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info Photo of a jewelry designer in India. In the original, the curtain in the right part is wider than in this derivative. I also removed some color fringing as well as the banding/posterization on the curtain. Additionally I improved the contrast and hue. Probably a big counter argument could be the curtain on the right side. In my opinion it opens the view to the woman and gives her more importance and the scenery more depth. I'm looking forward to your reviews.

Info Red Sea bannerfish (Heniochus intermedius), Red Sea, Egypt. The Red Sea bannerfish attains as maximum total length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) and is native to the western Indian Ocean where it is found in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It's associated with coral reefs where it is most frequently recorded as a solitary fish or in pairs, although large schools have been recorded. The juveniles form large schools, particularly in areas of deep reef where there is a low density of corals. They feed on both zooplankton and benthic invertebrates but the extent to which they feed on live coral has still to be determined. It is an oviparous species which forms monogamous pairs for spawning. It's collected for the aquarium trade but its collection is of a limited scale and is not believed to be a threat to the species population. Note: we have no FPs of the genus Heniochus. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:02, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is actually only taken a few metres away from this other FP candidate, for anyone who's interested. Otherwise, I'm primarily nominating this because of the contrast. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:04, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A swirl, a twirl, a turn, the circle widens, the circle expands, an editing galore, there for all to see; one user barred, the other not, two different souls but with the same intention, one questions the other who's on a mission, a mission of determination, inclination and desire, it's not a question of where it started but where it's heading, as different as they seem they both share the same origin, an origin deep within themselves, too intricate, too complex for either to comprehend. 20 upper 16:45, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're a poet? But who's barred? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:05, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will admit – even though this nomination may not end up successful, 20 upper's poem gave me a good chuckle. --SHB2000 (talk) 08:33, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's good writing, but I find it cryptic. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:39, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In shadows inked, words dance their mystery. Whispers veiled in lines, a puzzle to decree. Beyond the surface lies a tale, enigmatic key. It ain't a question of whether it's cryptic, but whether it's poetic. Who said cryptic words can't make thoughts shine? (sarcasm disclaimer) --SHB2000 (talk) 13:52, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree. 20 upper 14:12, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I do not here anythin special for FP nomination. -- Karelj (talk) 09:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Good colors but IMHO not enough wow for FP. --GRDN711 (talk) 15:18, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Looks a bit dark and dull in thumbnail size, but works much better in large view. It’s a grand and spacious landscape, and I like the generous division into the red of the foreground, the yellowish green of the midground, the dark turquoise sea and the blue sky. Detail resolution is a bit low, but thanks to the great lines of the landscape, this does not bother me here. --Aristeas (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support --MZaplotnik^(talk) 17:44, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think this is the best angle for a sandy bay and quality or lighting are not overcompensating it, sorry, Poco a poco (talk) 23:04, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Certainly a nice picture, but I think it's too dark to highlight the colors sufficiently, and partly as a result, the only really colorful area is the foreground with the red lichen(?). The quality seems questionable to me, too: The sky is a bit noisy, and nothing is that sharp. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:08, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also looks like lichen to me (and per [4]). SHB2000 (talk) 08:30, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Colors and composition work but the light's a little too dull; also seems a little oversharpened. Daniel Case (talk) 20:46, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is another find from Wiki Loves Foklore. The purely technical quality might not be pixel perfect, but the perspective and the light and colors make it exceptional for me. I hope you agree that this is one of our finest. -- Kritzolina (talk) 15:33, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is one of my favourites, too; the simple elegant shape has some abstract beauty. --Aristeas (talk) 15:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Derivative created Modifications: Chromatic aberrations removed, gentle denoising and sharpening applied. Dear reviewers @Kritzolina, Aristeas, 20 upper, SHB2000, MZaplotnik, XRay, GRDN711, ArionEstar, and Daniel Case: Thanks very much for your helpful review, Daniel. Since the image is participating in the current Wiki Loves Folkore 2023 contest, I have created a derivative. The link of this existing nomination I have changed to the derivative version. I also had to re-name the nomination page. Sorry for mass pinging, but it seems necessary in this case. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 09:40, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
