Neutral I would expect more details and more sharpness. The composition is quite good, very good. --XRay 💬 11:37, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Weak support Nice view, maybe could do with a little more space on the left hand side to complete the curve of the shoreline Cmao20 (talk) 13:18, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Weak oppose I quite like the choice to have a vertical composition here, it's brave and helps highlight the layers in the waves and the rocks. But personally I can't see enough outstanding in terms of motif, light (which is quite harsh) or quality to make this FP. Cmao20 (talk) 12:20, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
Oppose It lacks wow in my view, and I don't like the composition with tight crop bottom and top. Sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:18, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment This looks delicious, but I don't like the background paper. Yann (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- When you bake muffins like this, there is always a risk that one or some of them will tip a bit and spill onto the sheet pan. To prevent the messy burning and the following cleaning, a baking paper is often used to cover the pan. It can be re-used between the batches even if it's wrinkled and slightly burned. I liked the texture of it, so I included it. More interesting than a plain flat surface to me, but that's a matter of taste. --Cart (talk) 20:28, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
Weak support There is like a yellow cast in my view, and I think the light could have been better with limited shadow in the foreground. I also share Yann's view on the paper background. However, the composition is fine and it's an appetizing FPC of food -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Food photography is a little different since it literally deals with our taste. A simple way of explaining a good food photo, besides good technical quality, is that it makes the food look fresh, tasty, interesting and presented in a way that makes you want to have the food and eat it. --Cart (talk) 09:30, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment Please, per the rules, could you write a good description in the |description =box on the file page. This is so that people searching for photos can find it easier, and so all of us living outside Kerala can have a better understanding about what the photo depicts. Like who is the dancer supposed to be, are there any specific meanings for the colors and different items on the costume, are the dancers men or female, when and for how long is the dance/celebration. We foreigners would love to hear about such things. ;) Thank you. --Cart (talk) 18:16, 27 March 2025 (UTC)- Done --Shagil Kannur (talk) 01:21, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment Please Ranjithsiji and Shagil Kannur, you should never rename and move a file during a FPC nomination, unless you know exactly what you are doing. The move broke all the links necessary for the FPC system to work. I have now cleaned up that mess for you and everything is fine, but in the future fix re-naming before or after the nomination, never during. Thank you. --Cart (talk) 14:49, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Dear Cart. I apologise for the problems caused by me. I used the mass rename script to rename all the files because the main subject of the file was different. It is an intolerable factual error in the case of file name. But I did not noticed this exact FPC. Sorry for the problems. I will be careful in future and thank you for your quick help. Ranjithsiji (talk) 15:57, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, I’ll be more careful next time. The names were incorrectly given for the 157 photos I uploaded. With Ranjithsiji’s help, all the misnamed files have been corrected, including this one. Once again, I apologize for the mistake.--Shagil Kannur (talk) 17:18, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- I understand. Please just ask some experienced FPC-user for help or give some warning if you need to move any files here at FPC. We can always make things work, we just need to know so we can keep your nominations safe. --Cart (talk) 17:37, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Support Thank you, this is better. I've striked my vote above and moved it down here. For some reason I didn't get any 'ping' (I just came to have a look anyway) so let's hope it worked for the rest of the voters. Sometimes group pings to more than 5 users doesn't work here on Commons.

- Well Kaim Amin, the pings definitely didn't work this time. You can't use the same time stamp and just add people to it. A ping only works if you mention the person and sign it with a new time stamp in the same edit. This is a safeguard in the system to not having people pinged as soon as someone else edit a section.

- Of course it's visible when it's intentional. If you don't like it, that's fine, but it's not something that accidentally happened to the photo or something I forgot to fix. The whole idea here is to play with the strong lines in the scene, treating it as something almost abstract. --Cart (talk) 16:26, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

- Dear *:@User:Poco a poco You call the subject of my photo ordinary small fruit. But there is no fruit in the photo at all. The photo shows a gall. A gall is a proliferation of a plant, caused by a parasite or symbiont, usually an insect (a gall wasp, gall midge, common fig wasp, fly, aphid or gall mite). How seriously should I take your assessment if you don't even bother to read the description of the photo?--Famberhorst (talk) 04:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment The right crop makes the image look a little 'unfinished' with the part of the wall going down towards the edge. I would support an 'Alternative' version where the crop ends at the peak of that wall/building, I think that would frame the church better. You should never underestimate where a strong line meets the border of a photo. I will leave a note on the image, take a look and see what you think. --Cart (talk) 12:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment Welcome to FPC and thank you for your nomination. An interesting building that you present to us, but I'm afraid it doesn't have much chance of passing the high hurdles of this forum. The perspective distortion can be fixed, but the weak lighting could be a problem, in my opinion. I recommend that you first nominate it on QIC (Quality images) or, if it is a particularly unique image, on VIC (Valued images). I also recommend the image guidelines on this page. Thank you very much, we look forward to seeing more of your images. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 10:23, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Info First of all, it's a black and white mangling of a sepia original, second, the sepia version says it's cropped from the original, and I don't know if it could be cropped better - the failure to get it at the time has meant link rot has lost us the chance - but it's a pretty bad crop.

Delist The customs were different in 2006, but the original nomination is still a bad joke. Five people voted on the sepia version (4 pro, 1 contra). Then somebody (not the original nominator) jumped in and added the b&w version, saying they would support that one. No one of the previous voters commented on the b&w version. Then the votes were counted in a completely arbitrary manner, claiming that 5 voters supported the b&w version – well, we only know that a single voter supported it, the one who had added it … Even if this was the greatest photo ever, we cannot say that it has been promoted correctly. – Aristeas (talk) 15:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Question This might be an ignorant and stupid question, but with all the beautiful photos we now have of living Lepidoptera, are we still promoting mounted specimens? --Cart (talk) 18:08, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Support We must always ask ourselves what purpose the photos were taken for. Yes, we have beautiful photos of living butterflies, but photos of prepared specimens are just as important. From a taxonomic point of view, it is important to identify all the relevant characteristics of a species. This is often not possible with photos of living animals, which only show one side of the body and only either the upper or underside of the wing. Sometimes not even one side of the wing is completely visible because the wings are folded. There are even species that can only be identified by looking at the internal genitalia. In these cases, live specimens cannot be correctly identified at all. So, with photos, I have to choose between aesthetic and scientific value. These are excellent scientific photos and this is the reason, why museums mount butterflies in this way. --Llez (talk) 04:47, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- I have no problem with the scientific value of these mounted specimens and I agree with you on that. But I seem to recall some past discussions about that we shouldn't, through promoting new FPs of mounted specimens, encourage people to kill and collect animals in this way any more. Catching and colleting butterflies was a widely spread hobby when I was young, but with the dwindling population of so many species, scientist are more and more talking about protecting butterflies and moths. Some species are even illegal to harm or kill. And with all the good cameras we have these days, even education is moving from using specimen images and drawings to photos of individuals that are alive. This concern was the basis of my question, not the aesthetics of the image. --Cart (talk) 10:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Juste for this specific case "le mal est fait", in fact, the museum of Toulouse has herit of a big collection of butterflies of fr:Laurent Schwartz died in 2002, and thanks to Archaeodontosaurus, this collection is taken in photo for commons.

- Yes, I know that these particular images are "safe", but they will still inspire others when we promote them. We all know that the Internet is far from safe.

@W.carter: Je te remercie. That's an excellent question! In vivo images are very beautiful, but they are not normative. For science, there are reference positions for different species (including Homo sapiens). For Homo sapiens, it is not necessary to insert a needle, but for insects, it is the norm for specimens. "In vivo" and "specimens" are not in competition; they are complementary. Descriptions of species and subspecies are often made on millimetric details. To answer your second question, you're not mistaken; what you say is correct. If you look at the specimens, you'll see that they're old, often very old. They're museum specimens, and they're recorded as such with references. It's up to museums to fulfill this role. You should also know that the specimens on display deteriorate over time, and we also have to replace them. As you can see, it's a bit complicated.
If you ever attend a specimen photography session in a museum, you'll be surprised by the methodology. Everything must be prepared with the greatest care, and opening a box is a great responsibility, especially if it's a collection of our prestigious elders. The Holy Grail is the red label with the word TYPE on it! It's the reference butterfly for the species. There, no mistakes are allowed. This is how, at the back of the museum, in a dark room, we can experience great emotion.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:52, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand that this is scientific and legal and made with great care at the museum, but the internet is full of idiots who will carelessly copy every behavior they think they can do better. Perhaps these photos of old museum collections should have a template stating that, and caution others to not trap and kill Lepidoptera unless they are supervised by a scientific institution. Might not do much good, but at least we can try to conserve the species we still have left. --Cart (talk) 16:22, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Weak oppose My instinct is that although this picture is pleasant, it isn’t a sufficiently outstanding or unusual composition or motif to be FP, and there is no outstandingly high resolution or pixel level detail to mitigate this. Sorry :-( Cmao20 (talk) 21:52, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I nominated it because I liked the pleasant mood, the portal-like feeling of the pathway, and the monochromatic appearance. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 14:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- If you think that something has an almost monochromatic mood, it's sometimes worth a try to edit it in black & white. Just keep in mind that B&W requires a bit different editing than color. You are welcome to use my attempt as an 'Alternative' if you like. --Cart (talk) 16:54, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Info We already have some great 'scientific' FPs of eclipses, total and partial (1 and 2), so I'm going to risk a more artistic photo of one.Partial solar eclipse with some clouds on 29 March 2025, in Tuntorp, Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. I had my mind set on a sort of sequence, but big clouds moving swiftly with the wind prevented that. I had do make do with photos taken when the clouds were favorable. This is taken with only a normal polarizing filter; I used the clouds as filters for the strong sunlight. Towards the end of the eclipse, like here, the clouds moved in layers so I could get one cloud to cover the sun and another one at lower altitude to make a nice framing. And in a few photos this also made some faint crepuscular rays; this is one of them. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 14:15, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Delist and replace --Yann (talk) 08:51, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep 'JPG photos are superior to PNGs' is a bold assertion and I don't think it's always true. JPG is normally the more natural format for photographs but we have plenty of PNG photographs that are FP, for example this. In this case the JPG is only 475 KB and has clear, if subtle, compression artefacts visible at full size, particularly in the darker areas of the photo. The replacement is thus clearly worse than the original. If you want to make a JPG version of the PNG you can do so without reducing the file size by nearly 90% and losing information. Cmao20 (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep according to Cmao20's convincing evaluation. Addendum: …and according to my statement below. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:03, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Cmao20 and Radomianin: I remade the JPEG version with much less compression. I think no information is really loss now. Yann (talk) 10:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you Yann. This is much better and means that this nomination is no longer destructive to the potential of this image. I don't think FPC should waste time replacing existing png images with jpeg alternatives, though - there would be dozens to get through and it'd be a big waste of effort - so I'll keep my vote. Cmao20 (talk) 12:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks to Yann for the improved Jpg file! However, I feel compelled to add my perspective on Delist and replace nominations. Based on my modest experience, the maintenance work that follows a successful nomination is one of the most labor-intensive tasks, requiring about
tenfifteen separate steps. Among other things, this includes creating a redirect page to ensure the correct functionality of the four-pointed star of the former FP ({{Assessments|featured=2}}). Unfortunately, thecom-nomparameter reaches its limits here, as it redirects to the wrong page. For this reason, Delist and replace nominations should be chosen with great care - only when absolutely necessary. The first time I did this kind of maintenance, it took me a full hour. Given the minimal difference between the two versions of this nomination, I do not believe the effort is justified. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 18:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yep, this is totally true. And to add to what Radomianin wrote, these delists can per the rules only be closed using the 5-days rule if no one agrees with the nominator. This means that in some cases the nom has to be kept open manually while the FPCBot is trying to close it based on counting the votes like in a normal nomination. When the 'Delists' were first added as a feature in the FPC, it was as a separate system. Later the 'Delists' were incorporated with the normal FPC nomination. However, the voting system here maintained by the FPCBot is not sophisticated enough to deal with delists, let alone delist & replaces, and it fell on the the users who frequent the FPC to handle this manually. This was not a problem then since most voters also did maintenance. But in recent years the numbers of maintainers has dropped drastically. People love to nominate and vote, but not so much taking care of all the "boring" work that follows. So please do not create delists for minor things, leave that to the things that really matters since they are a P.I.T.A. Or even better: Learn how to take care of this kind of nominations and help out. --Cart (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I completely agree with you, and I also appreciate the historical background you provided on Delist and replace nominations. The lack of active maintainers is indeed a challenge, and I too wish we had more people handling the background work.

- Thanks to Yann for the improved Jpg file! However, I feel compelled to add my perspective on Delist and replace nominations. Based on my modest experience, the maintenance work that follows a successful nomination is one of the most labor-intensive tasks, requiring about
Keep The difference in quality is barely noticeable, and I whole-heartedly support Cmao20's comment about not wasting FPC's energy with such minor replacements. For me, the 'Other versions' placed on the file is enough. --Cart (talk) 13:41, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep The reason JPG is better than PNG is subjective and not sufficient for deselection. --XRay 💬 07:26, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep for two reasons. 1) The general claim that “JPG photos are superior to PNGs” is nonsense. JPEG images are more practical for many reasons, but they are not superior; on the contrary, for archival purposes PNG images are superior because they provide a lossless compression. 2) If we accept this as a reason to delist-and-replace FPs, we may get many more pointless or even questionable delist-and-replace nominations; nobody would profit from the additional amount of work needed to process these nominations. – Aristeas (talk) 08:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose I don't think this is an outstanding artwork and it isn't of a notable historical figure.

Support Impressive image by a famous photographer. -- Yann (talk) 10:43, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose It's a very average photo in normal light of a cone from an unidentified pine. Adams' landscape photos are great and of high historic value, but even great photographers take not so notable photos. I have no problem supporting the works he is famous for, but this was not his forte, and since there are no other mitigating things (the cone being from some rare pine, owned by some notable person, etc.) I don't see this as an FP. --Cart (talk) 11:38, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Support I know what Cart means but it's kinda nice, I think there's something creative in it - the fact that it's black and white focusses the eye on the concentric patterns of the pine cone, not the colours, and helps us see it as a beautiful geometric object. I would probably vote for this if it were a new photo presented in 2025, the fact that it's by a famous photographer is not so important. Cmao20 (talk) 16:30, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose I'm not extremely impressed by this one. The detail feels far flatter than Ansel Adam's usual photos, even his close-ups. It's a really interesting shot, but just doesn't do it for me. JayCubby (talk) 19:05, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Support Interesting composition. The viewer's concentrated gaze on the eye gives a slightly uncomfortable feeling, it seems threatening and captivating at the same time. Something different and, in my opinion, worthy of FP. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:35, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Why is this image so grainy? That's unexpected on only ISO 400 with a fullframe sensor (even if it has 50MPx). The composition may be novel enough for FP status, but I can't really discern the details of the shark skin, they get drowned in the noise. Additionally, the lighting balance feels a bit off between the shark and the foreground. I can think about a way to make the image likely gain a support from me: Reduce locally the exposition on the bluish elements (corals?) bottom left and right and reduce the noise. I admit that this is nitpicking on a really high level... Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 16:48, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Certainly an unusual composition, but I'm not a fan of that much unfocused foreground. Granted, it's more difficult to get some sort of bokeh going for the front than the back, but this just looks messy. Had the placement of the shark in the opening been different, it might have worked but sorry this is not it. There is also a good amount of chroma noise in the image. --Cart (talk) 18:19, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose She has a lovely smile, but this is not a very good portrait photo of her. The photographer has managed to click at a bad time/angle where she looks lazy-eyed. Googling other photos of her, this is not how she normally appears. It doesn't look to me like she has an eye condition or drooping eyelid. --Cart (talk) 14:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Cart: I am surprised that you seem to make a medical diagnostic based a picture. Could you explain please? Other pictures from the Library of Congress in Category:Bertice Reading are so bad that we can't barely see anything. Yann (talk) 15:54, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, I expressed myself too short and in a clumsy way – now fixed. For an FP of a person, I'd like that photo to represent that person well, regardless of whether we have better photos of them on Commons or not. In this case I went online and googled her. There are plenty of good photos of her outside Commons, and in none of them does it look like she had a droopy eyelid, and since the look occurs only in this photo, I don't think it represents her well. I also went online to search for any mention of her eyes, and the only thing I could find was that her mother once hit her so hard she got a black eye. The reason I checked this, is because there are plenty of famous people with all sorts of eye conditions, and they have made that look part of their "brand" (as people say these days). For droopy eyelid we have notably Forest Whitaker, Maggie Smith, Paris Hilton, Kate Hudson, Ryan Gosling, etc. And for other eye conditions there are for example Marty Feldman, Jean-Paul Sartre, Peter Falk, Sammy Davis, Jr. all the way to Andrea Bocelli and Stevie Wonder. So before I blamed the photographer for a bad angle, I wanted to see if this was how she usually presented herself. I don't think we need to feature a photo just because it's the best one we have uploaded on this site. --Cart (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose By the standards for painting we have now at FPC, this is a rather small file. Troost is at his best when he depicts groups of people and their interactions, often with some humor or tongue-in-cheek. He sometimes did equestrian scenes because that was the fashion at the time, but they always come off slightly stiff and awkward. --Cart (talk) 11:53, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose Hi Matejin and welcome to FPC. This is a nice composition and you have a good eye for a photo - thank you for uploading this useful image. However, I am afraid that the image quality is not FP level. The picture is quite noisy and the detail at pixel level is not very high - unfortunately I don't think whatever equipment you used is capable of producing an FP quality photo. Also the closest wing is not in focus. Perhaps have a look at some of the other butterfly FPs we have recently promoted in the gallery to get an idea of what works - additionally, it may be worth trying QIC first to get feedback on issues like image quality, noise etc. before jumping straight to FPC. One other thing, I note that this image is uncategorised. I'm going to add some categories for you on the file page - in future uploads it would be good if you could do that, so that people can find your image easily if they want to use it.

Oppose This picture is perfectly pleasant and it looks like a lovely day but I am missing any great tension to the composition. Everything is straight parallel lines - the bank of the river, the grass, the row of buildings - and there's nothing to give the eye a bit of contrast, nothing to really invite us into the scene. Therefore for me this is QI but not FP. Cmao20 (talk) 15:16, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, technically good but this sort of photo works better if it includes less or more. If you crop it, you can let the viewer's gaze rest on something; if you make it larger, you get a full panorama. This in between looks random, especially with the cut fountain to the right. One idea could be to emphasize on the trees and call the new photo something like "Three kinds of trees in Bad Kissinger Rosengarten". See image note. --Cart (talk) 16:45, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment Very nice view and interesting place, I love the cliff (!). Looking at the far shore of the lake, the photo seems a little tilted. It's also a bit soft with a lot of highlights. Any chance of some more sharpness and toning down the highlights? --Cart (talk) 22:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think I can fix the tilt and put more sharpness into it. But what about the highlights? What do you mean by ‘toning down highlights’? The histogram is balanced, there is no overexposure or clipping. The midday light is a bit harsh but actually beneficial for a marble/quartz/graphite rock like this. Maybe by ‘toning down highlights’ you meant ‘raising up shadows’ or what? --Argenberg (talk) 12:30, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- No, I meant that even though the histogram is fine, some of the highlight colors are rather glaring. Such things don't show up in a histogram since it only shows the color as other than white. Take a look at how rich it looks with only a 3% reduction of highlights in this example. The difference is most noticeable in things like the white sign with text. That version is also corrected for tilt. (Feel free to use it in any manner if you like.) --Cart (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment I think this picture is tilted - the buildings don't appear straight - and there is some purple chromatic aberration that could be removed. If those issues are corrected I will support because this is a detailed and useful panorama. I don't think it matters that it is PNG. Cmao20 (talk) 15:05, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry no, to me this is not a good photo. The pepper may be interesting, but the surface it's on is tilted and the background unfortunately comes of like some badly converted halftone pattern that doesn't match the pepper. There is also a thin white border to the left. --Cart (talk) 13:07, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Cart: The halftone background is part of the original picture. All copies on the Internet have it. I am not sure about the tilt, so I rotated it. The white border is gone. Yann (talk) 16:51, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Weak support To give this candidate a little love: While I share Cart’s unease about the background etc., I also understand Weston’s fascination for the bizarre shape of this pepper. It looks like a carefully crafted little sculpture, and depending on your state of mind you can see in it a complicated sexual scene from the Kama Sutra, or a couple in protective embracing of their new-born child, or a pietà with Saint Mary weeping over the body of her dead son, etc. The lighting and perspective seem simple, but are perfect to emphasize the multivalency of this pepper. – Aristeas (talk) 09:19, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment They way I see it, is that we already have the best pepper from this series as an FP, File:Pepper No. 30.jpg, and that makes me more picky about a second photo from it. In most series of similar objects, there is one photo that stands out and represents the collection. --Cart (talk) 10:54, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment Many thanks for the well-done editing, Cart – and I am so sorry for the accident, get well soon! Well, IMHO we should not upload the improved version over the current one, and maybe even the author itself should better not do that: This photo won the 1st price of WLM 2024 in Poland, and because exactly that version won the price, major changes are a no-go according to COM:OW. (Unlike the current wording of that page, I think that noise removal is a major change because it is a global manipulation and significantly changes the appearance of an image; at least I would not overwrite any of my own local WLM or WLE winning images with additional noise reduction). But there is a simple solution which has been used for many other FP candidates: Please, Cmao20, upload the edited version as a new file, linking it to the original one with {{Derived from}}. Then you, Cmao20, can either offer it as an alternative version or (much simpler) just exchange the candidate here with the edited version – whatever you prefer. I would appreciate it very much if you could do the one or the other, because this is such a wonderful winter scene and now, thanks to Cart’s editing, much improved. – Aristeas (talk) 19:22, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Support but with reserve about the technical aspect. Concerning the image, nice composition and decent quality. I agree with Aristeas. But the resolution, only 3,629 × 2,419 pixels from a camera capable of 6,240 x 4,160 pixels. And the settings, exposure time 1/4,000 sec with 640 ISO, it isn't really justified in such a situation, in my opinion. Certainly the resolution could have been more generous with better parameters -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, Basile. I've contacted the author by email and asked if he could provide a higher resolution version of the original file. If he sends one, I'll be happy to update the image accordingly.

- Thank you very much for your constructive feedback, Poco. I actually discussed this image via email with a couple of fellow Wikimedians previously and had originally suggested a crop - cropping the left side and applying the rule of thirds on the right to add more visual interest, which would have resulted in a derivative work. But in the end, I decided to stick with the original composition. On the second look, the centered framing felt like it brought out the calm and light of the scene in a way that worked really well. I also wanted to stay true to the photographer's original intent. That said, I totally get where you're coming from - your take was actually my first instinct too.

Info Antiopella cristata is a nudibranch found in the North Sea, the North-East Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Its body, with a maximum size of 8 cm, is flat, elongated and hidden by numerous outgrowths, the cerata, whose extremities are pale blue. The colour of these animals varies from milky white to light orange. The main sensory organs of nudibranchs are their rhinophores, which detect chemical particles present in the water, including food, the pheromones of a possible sexual partner, or the presence of certain threats.

Info Abstract pattern on a tree stump, high-contrast black-and-white photo. Created and uploaded by Maksim Sokolov (Maxergon), nominated by – Aristeas (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Support The annual rings combine with traces of the saw and the wide cracks to form a complex organic pattern. The jagged leaves lying in the cracks add a further dimension. – Yes, I know, the contrast is high and therefore it is obvious to shout ‘Overprocessed!’. But while I would say that for a colour shot, high contrast is an established technique for black-and-white photographs. When I made a print on high contrast photo paper, the result looked the same. So this is not a newfangled digital effect. In addition, the high contrast here serves a clear purpose: it emphasizes the quality of the image as a semi-abstract pattern. – Aristeas (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Info A modernist building designed by Pierre Jeanneret, the lesser-known cousin of Le Corbusier. The building sits on a raised plinth in a large P-shaped shallow pool, with an angular and curved three-part pinwheel roof, designed to evoke a floating lotus flower. The white colour of the building was chosen so to contrast with the red of the Fine Arts Museum designed by Corbusier, visible on the right. Picture taken after an intense thunderstorm during late monsoon, when the pool was filled with rainwater. Created, uploaded and nominated by UnpetitproleX (Talk) 21:41, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose The local brush is really too obvious in the new version, and gives a feeling of over-processing, with an odd white part behind the trees. Interesting mirror image but I would say the lighting conditions and heavy sky were not really so cooperative at the beginning -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:37, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Comment after @Ermell and Basile Morin: reviews I realised the structure looks a bit too warm/yellow for the time it was taken and the light conditions - turns out I had reduced the highlights way too excessively early on while editing the image, causing the unnatural colour. I went back to the original raw image to re-edit it to preserve the while colour of the structure. Pinging also @Cmao20: in case they wish to reconsider their support vote after this significant re-edit. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:47, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- Also adding that the pool is never filled artificially, so this view is only ever possible after heavy rain, which is why I nom'ed it. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 09:49, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Support Detail resolution etc. could be better, but I really like the composition – it was a clever move to put the main subject mostly in the left half of the image, this adds tension and interest to the image. The light is not thrilling, yes, but it nicely shows the depth of the building without adding any harsh shadows. And indeed the fact that the pond is filled and provides a nice reflection is a big plus. – Aristeas (talk) 15:26, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose I don't see anything remarkable which would lead to FP status. 50% of the picture is only black. Yann (talk) 11:41, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Comment I’m still undecided, but it’s actually a clever feature that most people are just silhouettes without any recognizable features. Otherwise the people in the revolving doors would be very easily recognizable and it would be a severe infringement of their personality rights to publish a photo without their explicit consent (cf. the European GDPR). There are exceptions for press photographs, but Commons is not press photography, and therefore the legal status of the photo would be quite problematic. By hiding their faces in the shadows Cart has completely worked around this problem while still showing the revolving doors in full action. – Aristeas (talk) 15:43, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- However you decide (or not) I'm really glad that someone has recognized what I'm trying to do in many of my photos with people. I love street photography and to document everyday life, hopefully in a cool or artistic way. But to comply with the rules on Commons, you need to be creative in how you depict people, especially for FPC. Using silhouettes is a clear favorite for me. I don't see the problem with the percentage of black in the photo, we have other FPs using the same technique, examples. --Cart (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Support I am rather hesitant. But it does fit. I had to look for a long time to see what was so appealing about the photo. At first it looks a bit restless, but the strong contrast is the real strength of the photo. --XRay 💬 18:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Support per XRay (and my own reasoning). After looking for a while at it I find the composition and the strong contrast quite impressive. The latter also even adds a touch of mystery to the image. – Aristeas (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:03, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Support It took me a while, but yeah, I see why this should be FP now. It's the fact that each of the silhouetted figures is framed within the 'openings' in the revolving doors. It's one of those moments that isn't easy to replicate, takes an artist to see (I don't think most photographers would have taken this shot at all), and it conveys quite a dynamic impression. Each of the figures is doing something a little bit different too - one has her back to us so we can't see, but of the others, one is carrying an ordinary plastic shopping bag, one has what looks like a gift bag, and one is looking at (I think her) phone. It's those little details that make this a piece of photographic art, not just a photo. Cmao20 (talk) 19:54, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
Support –Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 16:22, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose I understand the artistic intent, but it just doesn't work for me. Top third is almost entirely black pixels, the cluttered background breaks any hope for a pleasing symmetry, there are a lot of unintended reflections and glare, and the image is overall not very sharp. Side note, in many countries and Sweden specifically, you don't need consent to take and publish photographs of people in public places. AVDLCZ (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- I know about not needing consent here in Sweden, I'm just trying to treat other people in a respectful way. I have some personal experience with how you can be treated if other people think they are entitled to do things, just because it's not against the law. Besides, photos uploaded on Commons are allowed for commercial use, and you do need consent for that in Sweden. --Cart (talk) 18:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Neutral While I see the intent and the innovative way to capture people, the picture as a whole doesn't appeal to me. The contast would have worked for me with a less cluttered background, but of course that is out of the photographer's control. —UnpetitproleX (Talk) 10:00, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Comment It should be renamed. Yann (talk) 13:23, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Comment My instinct is that following the death of an important figure beloved by so many, we should perhaps wait a little bit before we decide what are truly the strongest images we have of him. I think it would be easy to promote this as we wish to commemorate his passing, but also I'm not convinced that the image quality is what I'd want it to be (blur, noise, plus distracting cropped people in the background). Cmao20 (talk) 13:43, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- I completely agree with Cmao20 about the reasoning and Yann re the name, this is a clear equivalent of the Wikipedia:Too soon. And in my very personal opinion, rushing to FPC to score some point with a nom as soon as a famous person has died is also a bit tasteless.

Info The baroque crucifix in the protestant church of Bonfeld, Bad Rappenau, Germany, seen in candlelight. All by – Aristeas (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Support I have always admired the courage of those who dare to nominate also ‘strange’ photos which break with some of our rules and habits. Well, it’s Good Friday and so I dare to nominate my favourite crucifix photo, knowing well that there are good reasons to call this a very bad photo. I wanted to photograph this crucifix in pure candlelight because I had the impression that this would make it look much more impressive and alive. But when I tried this (as usual) from a certain distance and with a straight perspective (similar to this photo), the sculpture looked stiff and dead. Only when I took the perspective of a person standing directly in front of the altar and focussed the lens only on the face did the sculpture come to life, so to speak. I know that perspective and crop are completely at odds with our usual conventions here; but somehow the leaning verticals and the narrow framing also seem to fit the motif of the suffering Christ. – Aristeas (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Strong support Great, creative way to depict this work of art Cmao20 (talk) 15:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Support I find this image truly moving - precisely because it deliberately breaks with convention. The unusual perspective and warm light convey an intensity and closeness that does justice to the suffering and dignity of Christ in a very special way. As someone who believes, it's this kind of depiction that speaks more deeply than any "technically perfect" image ever could. It feels alive. And it speaks. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Support -- Rolf Kranz (talk) 18:46, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Good sharpness for a handheld photo, but the harsh shadows and the poor light on the left part of the photo are not successful to me. It is an ordinary sculpture of a common subject present in all churches, basilica and cathedrals (another example). Due to the shallow depth of field, the focus draws the eye to the blood, painted in a not-so-subtle manner. Sorry, I know it's Easter weekend in Western countries, but it is better to leave the calendar aside when judging this kind of images potentially loaded with a strong symbolic connotation. (Hopefully the chocolate eggs will be no less tasty :-)) -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Delist At the first glance one could think that only a tiny part of the spine is missing; but comparing several photos (e.g. 1, 2, 3 …) shows that a complete significant part of the spine is missing. If the editing would have been declared properly and if only a tiny part of the spine was missing, one could discuss this; but making us think that the spine is a whole lot smaller and not even declaring this questionable edit is indeed very problematic. Even more because the spine is not an arbitrary element in the photo, but a central part of it. – Aristeas (talk) 17:38, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Support per Radomianin. As a user of a similar camera I think it could be even a bit sharper; you might consider manually fine-tuning the focus when you take the next shot; or maybe all what is missing is a little bit more sharpening during raw image development. But it’s totally OK as it is, and congrats for the perfect framing and timing! – Aristeas (talk) 17:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out. I don't shoot that much RAW and didn't notice until today that the camera produces sharper JPEGs than RAWs, which have to be sharpened manually. I've uploaded a new version. AVDLCZ (talk) 18:29, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the improvement! Yes, the camera automatically sharpens all JPEG images (you can adjust the strength of the sharpening in the camera settings), but it does not sharpen the raw image date. This is correct because raw data often undergo extensive processing (e.g. correcting distortion and perspective, adjusting exposure etc.) and sharpening is best applied only at the end of this processing. Therefore we need to set the sharpening in the raw image processor. Best, – Aristeas (talk) 10:04, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena#Aurora
Info (No, not a scene from Wicked...) Despite the less colorful aurora, this is one of my own favorite aurora photos because of its spooky composition, incidentally shot during Halloween season. The aurora was rather faint, making it appear dark green against the black sky in a way that didn’t overwhelm the stars or the little settlement below, the wispy clouds adding to the atmosphere. And of course, the meteorite that made a perfect appearance for a couple of seconds.
- The photo is made as a panorama, a trick I learned from another aurora photographer, and I thought I’d share with people here who might like to try similar shots. When you photograph the aurora, your camera is almost always tilted upward which results in leaning buildings and trees. Correcting that, you get those big pesky empty triangles in the lower corners. So you take your main photo and then add one on each side of it to fill in those triangles. That way you get a decent composition too. This is not something you need to think about if you shoot auroras in a landscape that doesn’t require perspective correction. For newbie aurora hunters, I always recommend starting at a beach or on a hill, where you can enjoy the show instead of thinking about the technicalities.

Comment Compared to other FP, I have the feeling that the technical quality may be deemed insufficient.

Comment Stunning photo and definitely a support from me, but don't you have two active nominations already? AVDLCZ (talk) 18:04, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- One of Cmao20's noms reached it's 5th day limit at 15:21, 23 April 2025 with over 10 'supports' and no 'oppose'. This nom was created 13 minutes later. The FPCBot only makes three runs per 24 hours and close the noms having reached the limits at those points. Many of us are simply lazy, and wait for the FPCBot closing before making our new noms, but users who can count for themselves are welcome to make a new nom as soon as one is 'out'. It's good to not rely too much on the FPCBot, since it malfunctions from time to time and we need to do everything manually then. Oh, and something I forgot to mention in my previous lesson: If you "FPD" a nom, you don't 'oppose' it for that. You just quietly put the FPD on the nom and sign. An FPD is not grounds for opposing. --Cart (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Oppose Nice shot, certain QI, but otherwise I cannot find anything special about it. Sorry --A.Savin 09:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry but I think I agree with A.Savin here. The central vanishing point is not very interesting, it's all quite a bland composition. I also think the picture doesn't seem to have many shadowed regions, everything is quite bright and I'm not sure this suits the subject. Image quality is of course as high as ever and I like the motif but it doesn't feel like a featured picture to me. Cmao20 (talk) 12:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Support Nature returns. --Thi (talk) 12:28, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Support I find the whole abandoned feel of the image eerily calm. Would've been better if the photographer had stepped slightly to the right, but still works for me. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 23:38, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Oppose sorry. Normally scenes like this one have problems like overexposed highlights, harsh shadows and some noise in the dark areas. We all try to mitigate these problems, but when we go too far a photo can get an unnatural, artificial look, and IMHO this has happened here. There are no (real) shadows in the image, and in areas with slight shadows (e.g. at the trunks of the trees at the left), the image has a painterly look, like some noise reduction tools produce it. Honestly when looking at these details I wondered first whether this is an AI-generated image. As it isn’t, as the Exif data state, I can only assume that the post-processing has caused this look. In any case, the result looks too artificial for my poor old eyes, sorry. – Aristeas (talk) 06:44, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- It looks to me like how my pictures look if I lift the shadows too far in Camera RAW, so that the picture has no pure black left. Cmao20 (talk) 00:46, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Cmao20, @Aristeas Thanks for your reviews. What do you think of this alternative version? Plozessor (talk) 05:11, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think the alternative is certainly a big improvement but I'm still not sure the composition is sufficient for FP in my eyes Cmao20 (talk) 12:42, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you – I agree that the alternative is a big improvement. I would not oppose that version. In the meantime I have taken the liberty to take a look at the XMP data in the original image and the raw conversion settings explain the artificial look. Temperature 5800 is quite warm for a midday scene; Contrast -78, Highlights -100, Shadows +88, Blacks +30, Clarity +100, Vibrance +100 are very daring settings, to put it mildly. The new version reduces some of these values – Contrast +5, Highlights -100, Shadows +64, Blacks +30, Clarity +25, Vibrance +60. Honestly I think that reducing the highlights by more that 50 is almost always problematic (better use additional local reduction, if necessary); Shadows > 50 is rarely needed, but can be useful in rare cases; I almost never raise the blacks (only use negative values like -5 to -20 here if appropriate); I used to use values like Clarity +15, but today apply Clarity only locally, where needed; Vibrance +60 is still very daring and would already be sufficient to say that the result will very probably look quite unreal (typical values are around 10, rarely 20). Do with these remarks what you want; you can ignore them; I just want to give you a hint which settings may cause an artificial look. – Aristeas (talk) 14:05, 25 April 2025 (UTC) @W.carter: I remember your excellent hints on such settings; maybe you could add a short comment on the tasteful use of Clarity and Vibrance? Thank you! – Aristeas (talk) 14:11, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry Aristeas, I didn't get the 'ping' for some reason. Each toggle in Photoshop has its own specific and good area for their use, but to use them all in extremis like in this photo is too much for me, I wouldn't know where to start with it. I know there are parts of the photo community who like these dreamy photos, where all is beautiful, but to me it's an artificial look. Clarity can be used in big doses on clouds to get some shape in them, to clean up murky waters or define ice crystals or architecture, but for foliage only use very small doses. To go over 22 in Vibrance is never a good idea if you want to avoid psychedelic colors, and if you use a lot of it, you might want to tone down the Saturation. In a way Vibrance and Clarity are each other's opposites, Vibrance adds to bright colors and Clarity makes them grey. In this photo, I think you started with a too bright exposure. The exposure bias is 0. Leaves always reflect light, so the default would be -0.3EV, perhaps go down to -0.7EV with the sun at your back. Once you started to edit to compensate for the brightness, other values became worse and you tried to compensate for them, and it domino-ed into this result. Also keep in mind that Commons system displays photos differently than Photoshop does. What might look ok on your monitor can look weird when uploaded, especially with very processed photos. Hope some of this is helpful. --Cart (talk) 19:11, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
