Comment I think it is a refreshing topic and type of image, which I think we should be open for. I think that the metadata, which are shown in the screen dump would be better captured in the file page. That is, I would crop the image, such that we only see the image from the scan and the remaining data are transferred to the file page. Yes, I know this will tecnically decrease the resolution of the image, but I trust (hope) the reviewers can see that it does not change the informational value of the image. One could add a scale to the cropped image such that the proportions are directly available. Also to present it in a form where the information is more broadly understood. For instance I see a length scale of 6.7 cm mentioned. But which proportion of the image does that correspond to (length or height)? Quite some other numbers and data are mentioned but their interpretation is not self-explanatory. Moreover, to increase the value of the image I think it would be worthwhile to describe on the file page in greater detail what kind of equipment has been used, if any kind of special processing has been applied to generate the image. Last but not least, the nominated image is closely related to another image, and it is my feeling that in combination, they can be used to provide a three-dimensional view of the fetal spine. However, it is not clear for me how that works, and I think there should be some kind of guidance for the viewer. I showed the image to my wife, who has a medical background and some experience with ultrasound, and she tells me it is a very good image, especially how well the individual spine taps(?) are resolved in the fetus. --Slaunger (talk) 17:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I will support iff better technical information is provided on the file page, essentially per Slaugner. --Claritas (talk) 11:24, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

InfoThe image has been cropped and technical information is now provided on the description of the image --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 13:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The description states "Focal Zone position at 6,7 cm." 6.7 cm from what ? --Claritas (talk) 16:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is from the array of cristals --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 19:34, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And thus from the ultrasonography machine ? --Claritas (talk) 20:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is the distance from the probe surface - maternal skin interface and the focal region--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 21:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per above discussion. Very educational and unusual picture. --Claritas (talk) 16:56, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question Have you upsampled it to make it reach the 2 Mpixel guideline? Please do not. Upsampling does not add any information. Regarding crop, my personal preference would be to remove all of the black frame only keep the actual image frame. Yes, I know this means fewer pixels, but the information is the same. --Slaunger (talk) 17:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as stated in the retouching template. This has been requested in a former discussion about this image on the size of the image by some reviewers. I was not very happy to do it as I know that FP is not strict about the 2 MP rule as is QI. To tell you the truth I do feel that there is not much understanding from the reviewers for medical images. I think IMHO reviewers should judge the images for their visual impact and for the information value they provide to an encyclopaedia.--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 14:25, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry to hear that. Where has that been discussed for this image?? If someone has really asked you to upsample the image, it is something I strongly disagree with. I think you are right that we reviewers do not (yet) have much understanding of medical images. Please do not give up, and give the community some time to understand the domain. Do you know COM:VIC? That is a forum focusing on the value of an image and less on the resolution. I think you should have kept the cropped revision by Wetenschatje. -Slaunger (talk) 20:48, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very interesting, new, unusual and with a very high encyclopedic and educational value. We must never forget to keep our minds open. The original size should not be a problem in this specific case ("mitigating circumstances" or something like that...). In my humble opinion, the better version is the very first one, which shows the image as it comes out from the "tool", because that's part of the whole picture and of the "subject" (a medical image), and it gives special informations, not only technical, but visual too "So looks a picture made by an ultrasonography machine" (encyclopedic informations), regarding this specific point I disagree with Slaunger. After that, the uploader is free (and encouraged) to give explanations and other informations/translations in the file description page. Anyway, I really hope a promotion for this one, which is really -at least- different. --Jebulon (talk) 01:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (until sharpening issue is fixed) I'd like to give you support for Xmas ;) but I'm per Carschten on the overshapening issue. I'm fine with the nice horizontal lighting and thinks it emphasize nicely the landscape. You could have gotten rid of your shadow though (cropping it away should be fine as the left part doesn't really add value IMO, it doesn't have to be 360°). - Benh (talk) 11:10, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I mean a horizontal panoramic image like this one, where you see the mosque, the bread-fish selling boats.. etc.. greetings. Ggia (talk) 08:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Ggia's nom below reminded me of this shot, which I think captures well the atmosphere of that part of Istanbul. -- Benh (talk) 21:20, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Even do not know what to start with: either with a noisy sky with some dust spots, or with an unfortunate lighting, or with a bad crop, or with a cut-off main subject. Benh, you're opposing so many good images, how could have you supported this one... Oh, I see, you are the one who took it :-)--Mbz1 (talk) 06:41, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Image being good or not is matter of taste, and you're right that as author, I will always be biased. But if I nominate, it means I like it, so I support. On objective criterias, this one is noisy, but it's unscaled down 18mpix pic, which is mitigating IMO. But maybe I should do something about that. The lighting is not unfortunate in my opinion. Although we can see the sky is dark, sun did lit the scene, giving some contrast and a dramatic atmoshphere. Maybe the cut off boat is an issue. I will propose a landscape format alternative, which I have at home. By the way, you have the right to oppose (even though I would prefer the other way). - Benh (talk) 08:06, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question Did you try to make a horizontal panorama of the place? Since here is not the main subject the Süleymaniye Mosque but also "Eminonu - Galata Bridge and fish-bread selling shops" I think that a panorama gives a better overview of this place. Ggia (talk) 08:13, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I took a bit long to answer Ggia. I didn't took a panorama of it. Maybe I was too lazy to set up everything. But I have a landscape format version of it. I'm not sure if it's worth nominating it. Will try to work on it if I have time... (which I'm short on miss these days). I'm not sure if a panorama would have been a benefit, I really wanted to catch how busy it is, and at same time, have that iconic shape in the background, so this needn't being extended to the right in my opinion. Happy new year by the way!- Benh (talk) 19:54, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support I love that piece. There are three fairly high res versions of the file in the category, but I do think this one is the best. It has the widest crop, and the other look too overly thresholded to make them more b/w with higher contrast. I feel this yellowish version is more trustworthy in its appearance. However, the files pages on some of the other version in the category are more detailed and also in English. I recommend adding the English translations as well to the file page. --Slaunger (talk) 22:55, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the image needs to be cropped down to the page (cream border is unattractive). I am not convinced by the technical quality of this reproduction - the resolution is reasonably high, but there is some minor colour deviations, and a sharpness lower than that which is achievable. --Claritas (talk) 20:12, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose OK, although I won't ack it, I'm certainly biased because I nominated a similar shot of mine... This one has good quality, nice lighting, and I trust you on the encyclopedic point. But those leafless trees give a cold atmosphere to that picture. I'm not so keen on the composition either, with much more room given to the sky than the rest. - Benh (talk) 21:31, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Info the date of the image is 25 December, and it is winter time.. so the trees are leafless.. in the composition I tried to avoid a centered composition.. so some part of the panorama to the left side has been cropped (in order the main subject - the mosque not to be in the center). Concerning the sky, I don't believe that it has too much sky for the composition not looking like vertically-centered aligned.. but if people don't like so much sky.. it is very easy technically to have a new crop with a little less sky.

Oppose nice architecture. But the composition does not work: crop is very tight, the car in the bottom left corner is disturbing, the whole image is very busy. And why a night shot? At daytime, it would look much more impressive, I'm sure. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 12:23, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Casa Milá is spectacular, but very difficult to shoot. Too many cars and people over the place, with many trees in front of the building. Maybe an aerial shot would do, but this one doesn't look featurable to me. Agree with elekhh too. --Paolo Costa (talk) 22:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are technical possibilities to avoid the problem of crowds in front of subjects of interest: either a long(!) exposure in the order of several minutes, half an hour or more, maybe using a neutral density filter (thus, moving objects do not interfere with the data registration of the static scene) or a stack of enough single captures in "Median" stacking mode in Photoshop. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 22:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per others--Miguel Bugallo 23:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - For starters I am curious why this wasn't taken during the day time, the lack of lighting and shadows are distracting. Also, I do not care for the crop or the blurry car in the corner. Defiantly QI worthy though. Tiptoety ^talk 04:05, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- The blurred car does actually show a bit, for an FP. TrebleSeven (talk) 17:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I fail to get how an image taken at dusk is necessarily worst than a daytime shot... Night shot can be more pleasing, and not least detailed (the subject is lit). The comments on car and crowd can be justified, but these are mitigated by the fact that the dusk slot is short and, well, if the place is busy in real life, I see nothing wrong with having people on it. It's not like they detract this much from main subject when looking the picture as a whole. On the cons side, I think crop is tight and size is a bit small. And maybe composition could be better (more centered). - Benh (talk) 23:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find it a pity that the castle is almost centered and the statue is set aside, almost like an afterthought. I believe the picture would've been way more balanced had it less empty space on the right hand side and a bit more breathing room around the statue. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 21:47, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose very bad exposure: most of the landscape underexposed (nearly black!) and the fog is overexposed and blown out. Unpleasing colours. Too much boring space at top with centered horizon. We have better images on Commons and better FPs, cf. e.g. this landscape in fog image. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 20:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see no significant difference between your favoured fog-picture and this candidate concerning the criticised point. Beside of this: over- and underexposure can also a stylistic device if the image impression is aesthetic. --Wladyslaw (talk) 17:47, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, it hasn't got any significant value, and I don't think it meets the featured image criteria.

That´s a good point. To be honest I am not 100% sure. I lost a lot of pictures from the UAE and have always hoped that I can keep this one because the landscape is mostly made out of simple items and the Burj Al Arab helps the composition but is a minor element. Plan B would be to include use rationale information, hopefully that is no issue for this nomination. Is there anybody who can confirm these aspects?

**Edit1** Attempt to rebalance color, crop dust spot

These are valid criticisms: the "wine-dark sea" may have been due to image manipulation. I attempted a color rebalance. What do you think of the edit to the right? Note that I am a novice at image editing --- if someone with more expertise can make an attempt, I would appreciate it. — hike395 (talk) 18:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It does not add up. I have marked what I would think is about 1 meter on the iceberg, based on the structures in the snow. Thus, the "penguins" would be waaaaaay too small... and the waves as well. Then there's the background and water's color that absolutely does not fit to the iceberg.

Info created by JJ Harrison - uploaded by JJ Harrison - nominated by JJ Harrison Both subspecies of the Hooded Plover are classified as Endangered. There are about 3000 of this subspecies left. The habit of laying eggs on the edges of beaches in the summer months is the main cause - the same beaches are often popular for dog and human recreation, often resulting in trampled eggs. Fortunately Tasmania, at least, has plenty of largely abandoned/inaccessible beaches. -- JJ Harrison (talk) 23:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not bad, but you should crop the image at the bottom (too much boring white, unnecessary shadow in the lower left corner) and fix the white balance (snow should be white, not blue-ish). If you have cropped the image at the top, you could also add a little more there (more space, that is). Also, I would have preferred it if the front of the cabin were lit (maybe 2-3 hours later). --Kabelleger (talk) 20:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Maybe like this? --Kabelleger (talk) 20:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks a lot for the correction. Only a question: how did you correct the photo? -- The image isn't cropped on the top. SteGrifo27 (tell me) 19:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Open in Gimp. Select crop tool (the cutter thing), choose fixed aspect ratio of 2:3. You may need to switch to landscape. Choose crop, make sure that it is locked to the top image border and try not to cut things in half (e.g. stones, mountains or the building on the mountain in the background). When you're done, right-click, choose colors -> levels. Choose red channel from drop-down. You now see a b/w diagram, which shows the brightness distribution of the red color. On the extreme right side, it is 0. Below it, there are three sliders. Move the white one on the very right towards the left as long as the diagram shows zero. Do the same for the green and the blue channels. The snow in the image should now be white (note: this way of fixing the white balance only works well for images that have a lot of snow in them). Click ok. I also played around with colors -> curves (you might want to adjust the black point a little to make the darkest parts of the image really black) and colors -> hue/saturation (in this dialog, select the red color to give the dull red paint on the cabin a little more punch). When saving, enable preview and choose the jpeg quality such that the file size is about the same as before or a bit larger.

Note 1: If you made an RAW file, you should start again with that one and do these adjustments in your RAW import tool.

Note 2: I'm not the image manipulation expert. Don't get the idea that this is a good or even the best way to do this. It just gets the job done, more or less. --Kabelleger (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - studio shot. A featured picture of a politician, should, in my opinion, show him or her "in action". --Claritas (talk) 17:42, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded a cropped version, just to see what it looks like; however, IMHO, the grey shadow in the foreground isn't totally useless, since it's symmetric with the grey sky above. I believe the balance and composition of the first version is better, but I'd like to know what you think :-) --M.L.Watts _{Air Mail ✈} 17:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support The foreground seems necessary to provide space around the subject. Side-to-side I imagine it would work fine wider... however, this emphasizes the verticals, including the painted "columns". Since the painting is the most unusual part of the architecture, I think the crop helps focus the viewer's attention. --99of9 (talk) 09:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  - Ok. –ElmA (Talk – My files – E-mail) 18:31, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Actually, neutral votes on FPC are truly neutral. Only {{Support}} and {{Oppose}} actually matter in the vote count. So {{Neutral}} is from a vote counting point equivalent with, e.g., {{Comment}} or {{Info}}. See also the voting section in the guidelines. That said, it is of course always a good idea to state a reason as a reviewer to provide feedback to the creator/nominator/uploader. --Slaunger (talk) 22:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Request Please add a {{Panorama}} template to the file page to keep a record of the method of stitching as this is where it really belongs. And considering that the EXIF has been lost in the stitching process, please also add some details about the camera used, lens as well as settings (exposure time, ISO, etc.) Adds value and is instructive if others want to do something similar for another city. --Slaunger (talk) 22:13, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

        I'm striking your vote for the meanwhile, because you need to look at the image at full resolution first. Then you'll realize that this is a photograph of a painting. There is no "overexposure or noise". --Claritas (talk) 15:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info August Haake painted "Duck houses" over a period of 1911-1914 in Fischerhude near Bremen in Germany. The duck houses stood in the river Wümme. On the right side goes a path and a footbridge over a branch by the Wümme. Oil painting on cardboard in the size 72x50 cm. The painting is not dated and has no signing. August Haake used to ride his motorcycle from Bremen to Fischerhude. His painting was hanging on the way behind his back. This is the simple reason that the painting has two holes on the top. August Haake pulled a piece of string through both holes and made a knot. Therefore both holes are regarded as the signing by August Haake. He died with lead poisoning in the age of 25 years. I wrote his biography in the German Wikipedia and took this photograph. The colors are equal to the painting. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 00:16, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Several artikels in the German Wikipedia written by me are translated in English and in other languages and published in Wikipedia such as Han van Meegeren written by me 2002 and Sven Hedin written by me 2004.

Neutral. Very nice, yet, I'm not completely convinced. I feel that it could have been larger especially given it's a panorama... or it could have been more crisp and detailed. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 13:23, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This was not intended to be a super-detailed pano. I actually took only four pictures, which were merged and then cropped; therefore the "low" size. Just in case; it was not downsampled. --Paolo Costa (talk) 13:33, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Info Vittoriano faces north and a bit to the west: it never gets direct full light from the sun. I was there in the morning and afternoon. In google, you'll notice the best light it gets is in the late afternoon, always with a similar shade. Do you see blur in the whole image? Imo it is not a blurry image... but of course, everyone can judge differently. --Paolo Costa (talk) 16:40, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is some trivial blurriness in the bottom left quarter, you can perhaps see it clearest on the red flowers. --Claritas (talk) 17:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - it never gets direct full light from the sun: ok, but that doesn't matter to me. I want to see a pleasant, natural light with an ideal illumination of (almost) all objects in the photo, and you will (almost) never have this with sunlight. Use cloudy weather, use clouds in front of the sun. Then you won't have shadows and the image would look much better, I'm sure. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 20:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like the stripes and the position of the tree. However, two minor points. There appears to be something (a poly bag?) on the tree at the top right. If this is litter, it would be nice to erase it. Also the few branches at the far left centre are distracting. That big could be cropped out or cloned away IMO. --Colin (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Info It isn't a bag, it is a bird's nest on the top right on the tree :-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:27, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The tones are very brownish and dark, and the tree is too small in the frame for the composition to work for me (though EXIF tell you likely were far away). Quality is also poor. Tree put aside, it pretty much VanGoghish. Because of refraction due to the heat ? - Benh (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Question What are the bands behind exactly ? - Benh (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Info the bands: dry bottom of the lake, incl. salt-encrusted areas, dry loam areas. And yes, there were refractions due to the high heat = very shimmering and dusty air. The tone: small areas are burned out. Other grass areas are simply dry and parched. And a last a nice comparison with the most expensive photo --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:18, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure the comparison is good for you ;) - Benh (talk) 00:39, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral -- The composition is okayish. TrebleSeven (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support - nice composition. The tree reminds me of this. Quality isn't a big problem to me - probably best achievable considering the conditions and the equipment used. --Claritas (talk) 15:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~{{o}} Nice, but as Benh and what is really sharp at full resolution?~~ The bottom of the image is to me a bit underexposed--Miguel Bugallo 01:37, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Miguel: if you ask me this really: "what is really sharp at full resolution?" then here my answer: except for the foreground, "simply all"! Do you read my comments? It is a 300mm telephoto shoot in a hot, very shimmering and dusty air! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 17:42, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alves, you asked me, I answer you: you don't understand this image too. For you again: it was hot, very shimmering and dusty air .... the DOF at f/8 is full OK for this shot. And this is an telephoto 300mm image. Think about it! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I already did, before posting my comment... What I don't like is the out-of-focus herbs nearer the camera and wonder if a larger f-number would solve the problem (even with a 300 mm telephoto).

Oppose L'immagine é sovraesposta, c'é troppo contrasto (zone nere e zone bianche), bassa qualitá fotografica, l'immagine non é a fuoco, i lati sono ancora piú sfuocati. L'idea non é male anche se la composizione va migliorata (magari un pó di zoom), il posto non é brutto. Ma ci sono troppi problemi. Sará bene comprare una migliore camera fotografica per ottenere risultati di maggior qualitá, altrimenti avrai sempre molti voti negativi a causa della camera.

Info I've just brightened it up, I hope the brightness is OK now. @Paolo: I created the image as a vertical panorama out of 4 images. Due to that, I can't create a wider crop. The ground has been cut off on pupose, simply because it isn't spectacular at all (in fact, it is a roof and a bush).

Comment about the B&W objection: I have talked to Hossam and he looked everywhere to see if he has a color version of this image but he couldn't find one. This this only version he has of this photo. He took it in black and white (If you look at this work, he mostly takes B&W photos, rarely colored ones). As for this image, its not same one, as you can see the mouth is a bit more open in it. Hossam has been kind kind to release some of his images so we can use them on wikipedia (even though his photos are his main income) that we wont be able to find under a free license anywhere else. As for the historical misleading issue that the B&W version might lead to, I dont think it will happen; This is picture of Golda Meir in B&W even though colored photos existed in her time. The reason Hossam takes a lot of his photos in B&W is because he feels it capture the subject much better and it shows more soul then the colored ones but that's his POV as an artist (Photography is a form of art). Some artists like to use colors while others like to draw with a pencil but they are beautiful in their own way :-) -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 11:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am also not worried about "historical misleading" - the date is clearly marked. My main issue is with the educational value, and on this issue I think art and education often diverge. It is unfortunate, but since this is a site primarily concerned with educational value, I usually oppose BW images unless there is a special reason for it. And please do not read me as saying that I do not appreciate this photographic donation, I think great portraits are essential to the wikipedias, and I am very glad Hossam licensed it freely. PS I think that coloured pic you linked to has heaps of soul!! (and would make a perfect taxobox portrait) --99of9 (talk) 12:11, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- A 'real image' of the place would be a "photograph". This is an "engraving". Yes, it is true that hand made pictures (drawings, paintings, engravings) were often used at those times to depict the 'material world' as faithfully as possible (still are, in some fields like zoology and botanics!)

What shall the panorama show? This picture is already a panorama, otherwise it would be not possible to show a 71 MP image. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:58, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The light is nice and the overal quality is very good, but I don't see what is featurable here. Even if notable church in Switzerland, I don't think this building is particularly remarkable, and it is not very beautiful nor "magic" for my taste, among other pictures of same religious buildings. The picture is technically almost flawless, but the subject is not exciting enough (IMHO). Could be a very good QI nevertheless, if the tilt cw (and the sky artefacts of course) were corrected.--Jebulon (talk) 15:40, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I can not find it: where in the FPC regulation stands that the object has to be notable? This church is very a very distinguished example of historism style. But for sure a fishing boat in the greek outback is much more notable than a church. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:52, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please learn to read. And please stop this kind of soft terror every time somebody dares to oppose one of your picture. I'm not scarred by you. I've no problem about the notability of the church, I just say I find it very ugly ! And you just opposed to the greek boat only because you are not happy of my current opinion--Jebulon (talk) 18:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I give a measly long argument but this argument is not your contra-argument? Come one. And I opposed the boat because I already criticize that you campaigned an unsharp picture. Don't get me on my nerves. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- As Jebulon. High resolution and good quality (despite the unsharp angel) but little excitment. Big and correct is not necessarily beautiful and featurable.-- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:39, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Imo a good church photo has to be taken from a certain angle, or, from the exact middle. The 'almost symmetry' of this picture is what bothers me and makes it not featurable for me, despite its correctness. I think it is a beautiful church despite previous comments. But I just don't like the angle. --Paolo Costa (talk) 22:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral~~ A very good shot. Awesome expression... but the crop is really bad imo. Camera should have been vertical, horizontal made a bad compo. Crop too tight too. --Paolo Costa (talk) 13:29, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support The image is noisy due to the 1600 ASA - I choose this ASA because 105m lens manual focus lens (with D700 Nikon body) was used with close diaphragm 16 and aperture speed 1/2000. Tibet is not the easiest place to travel and get images like that, I hope you enjoy the content (as I do) and keep an exception to the rules due to the noise. If you want to ~~attack~~ oppose due noise.. you are also welcome ;-). -- Ggia (talk) 19:08, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good work --Katarighe (Talk) 20:11, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment very nice composition, good light, but intensive noise as you know. ISO 1600 and f/16 - why not f/8 and ISO 400 or something like that? --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 20:13, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Info my lens is a very old 105m f/2.5 manual focus.. and the focusing screen in D700 is not the same like the manual film camera FM2.. so with D700 it is hard to make fast focus.. so I choose strong depth of field (in case it not focused precise to get focus due to depth of field) and high speed.. The weather was also a little bit cloudy. IMO noise in an image like that (with people) is not so bad aesthetically.. if you look to my blog [4] my black & whit photos are full of grain (due to the film and 400asa). But if you oppose I can understand the reason. Also in the above image I didn't try any de-noising algorithm.. (probably a denoise algorithm can reduce some noise.. but I don't have experience doing de-noising.. I just know how to remove some noise from a blue sky using a mask).

Comment your account it too young, meaning that it is older than 10 days but you have less than 50 edits.. thanks for your support vote but it is not valid. but if you know how we can reduce noise in that image it will nice to show me how to do that. Ggia (talk) 23:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How is it too young? Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 10:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a rule in FPC, that editors with more 50 edits and more than 10 days account age can vote. It is a rule in order to avoid canvassing in FPC votes. You can see your contribution here Special:Contributions/Papa_Lima_Whiskey_2, and you have around 21 edits. Make some more contributions in commons.. and you will be able to vote here. ;) Ggia (talk) 10:35, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
