Poster for State Fair
Hard to be sure without multiple copies. Given the post has clearly intentional blue tones above the "Fair", I'd say it's a possibility. It's at least in the poster that was scanned, but fingers and damage can result in changes. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:58, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interior of New Memon Masjid, Karachi
  •  Comment As an explanation (there have been mentioned contra resons, but no pro reasons yet): I like this photo as kind of a counterpart of the splendid mosque interior images we have seen recentently. Yes, this mosque is not as exciting as these maginficent buildings, but the limited, carefully selected colours, the nice ornaments and the symmetry still create (in my eyes) a very harmonious, calming interior. It is somewhat disturbed by all the fans, but I am willing to see them (with a wink) as kind of a necessary concession to the practical needs of humans – after all, Karachi is quite a hot place ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 16:39, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mask Diabo of Portugal used on folk fest and rituals

  • If a joke, it shouldn't be a !vote. If it's not a joke, who says it has anything to do with "Satanism" (or one of the very rare forms of Satanism that believes in and worships Satan)? Might help explain why we have so many FPs of churches, I guess. — Rhododendrites talk21:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Church of Satan is officially registered in some jurisdictions. And "human-despising" seems to be emotional/biased, and should not have a place on this educational/encyclopedical site. It diminishes important aspects of old cultural traditions. And btw, cool mask,  Support --Andrei (talk) 14:24, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggested crop. This had been on my „list“ of edits but finally came to the decision that I did not want the skier leading the pack to be too far off center.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info There is nothing that makes this satellite picture stand out from other satellite pictures of major hurricanes of similar image sizes. Dennis was not even at peak intensity or at major hurricane strength in this picture. If I have to guess, the news coverage surrounding this hurricane was the only reason why this photo ever got featured the same month it was taken to begin with which is ironic considering that the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was just starting at the time. (Original nomination)
  •  Delist If we are going to feature satellite images of the most hauntingly beautiful or impressive looking hurricanes, then Isabel and Eta are much better candidates imo. --StellarHalo (talk) 11:25, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I don't like the idea of second-guessing decisions made at FPC. An FP should only be delisted if standards have risen so much that it clearly falls short, or if problems with the image (e.g. inaccurate diagram) are discovered which were not known at the time of the original nomination. This is a high quality 40 MP image. -- King of ♥ 17:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per King --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment C'mon guys. You should be able to easily see all the unsharp/blurry areas. This is not an image I would call high quality. --StellarHalo (talk) 20:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist Per Stellar. Not the best satellite image of a hurricane, really, and given the direction the climate's going I'm regrettably sure that there will be even more visually striking ones to choose from. Daniel Case (talk) 22:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I wish I knew what the parallel lines at the bottom were, but this is IMO way too good to delist. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:10, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Far from outstanding amongst pictures in this class, but at the same time I feel like delist should be left for those images that were obviously a mistake to promote or else which fall a long way below current quality standards, and I'm not sure I see that here. Cmao20 (talk) 01:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I get that some of you are not pleased that I have been on a delisting spree for months already but I promise you this is one of the last handful of FPs I am invested in delisting. What I am trying to say is that there a ton of satellite pictures of tropical cyclones like this with similar sizes and it does not make sense that this particular one should have the star. Also, I heavily doubt it would have been promoted had it been nominated at the end of 2005 with the likes of Katrina and Rita and those are from 2005 alone. Other years' hurricane seasons have Isabel, Irma, Harvey, and Laura to name a few. --StellarHalo (talk) 08:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist per nom. I, for one, very much appreciate your efforts to go through our old stuff and clean it up a bit. FPC is for the best of the best. Sometimes, what seems to be a huge deal at the moment will look very different with a few years of distance, and then we should be flexible enough to re-evaluate. Doesn't mean the voters were wrong at the time, they just didn't have the full picture yet. --El Grafo (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist I don't think this is one of the best hurricane pics on Commons. Buidhe (talk) 14:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Zillertal in Tyrol, Austria
There only is one with a bigger vertical view but there is none that is higher resoluted. The image was taken with my old 40D so that limited the resolution. The 5 frames were shot pretty close together because it was a very sunny days and I wanted to avoid images made useless by lens flares. In other words: I'm not holding back a version that is higher resoluted. --D-Kuru (talk) 17:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coprolite, Calatayud, Spain
See notes --Llez (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Llez, I disagree with your assessment. Neither I see grainy areas nor consider those "unsharp" areas relevant. Apart from the fact that I'm offering 50 MPx, and see similar issues in the Prehnite candidate below (20 not 50 MPx) so I sadly have to come to the conclusion that you are using double standards here. Poco a poco (talk) 20:36, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Podzemnik Same here, do you see those "flaws" in a resolution of 20 Mpx? and what do you mean with flat light, how many sources and where would you then expect (I used 3, a ring light on the lens and 2 additional sources on the sides)? Poco a poco (talk) 10:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Poco a poco: Well, if you look here or here, the light in these photos looks just great and the background immediately strikes you. Perhaps using a different background would make your photo look more wowy. Your subject is interesting of course but I believe that good photography means to make even uninteresting subjects interesting (like a shoe or a pomelo :). --Podzemnik (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination denied. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines because only two active nominations per user are allowed. --Andrei (talk) 09:48, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment per Andrei, only two nominations are allowed at once - but I might try this one again when you have a nomination slot free Pavlo1. I would vote for it, on balance. It's a bit noisy, but IMO OK for a high-resolution (24mpx) image, and the motif is stunning, as is the composition. Cmao20 (talk) 23:53, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Trumpeter swan
  •  Comment Same specimen as last week, Miss Sophie? As for composition, this is much better, and excellent sharpness. However, the salient badge still lowers wow on my side, and the shadows are very dark and blueish. --Kreuzschnabel 07:16, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Same specimen indeed, but who might this Miss Sophie be?.. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 17:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Probably an allusion to Dinner for One, a comedy sketch in English language, but extremely popular especially in German. Miss Sophie is celebrating her 90th birthday, and like every year she has invited the same old friends – but all of them are dead now, and so the poor butler James must not only serve the meal and pour the drinks, but he must also play all the guests, i.e. drink the toasts to Miss Sophie, etc. Becoming drunk more and more, James asks Miss Sophie again and again: “The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?”, and she always replies: “The same procedure as every year, James.” --Aristeas (talk) 09:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Comment This is one of the most famous paintings in Sweden. I have seen it and like Ikan says, the photos here are not as focused and crisp as we have come to expect of FPs. For a good copy, you should be able to see the bold brush strokes. There is also a bit of "haze" in this photo, making the black areas gray and colors washed out. --Cart (talk) 11:13, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

coprolite, Calatayud, Aragon, Spain.
Compare File:Philips Series 7000 shaver head.jpg, which is lit from a flash aimed at the ceiling and so providing a soft light from above. The curved form of the blue discs and the silver edging is immediately apparent: you don't have to know or guess the shape. The textured metallic-effect plastic is glitteringly rough against the smooth metal centre and all the folds of the metal grill are clear to the eye. -- Colin (talk) 17:54, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment 1) The lighting on left and right wasn't equal 2) without a ligth source at the front the answer here would have been without any doubt "bad lighting" the object is in shadow. The image is IMHO sharp, specially if I compare it to other noms lately of clearly less MP and where the statement would be "although it's a 25 MP image it sort of looks like an unsharpened 10MP image". Lighting on the top doesn't make any sense here as the interesting view is not from the top but from the side. Poco a poco (talk) 13:44, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend "Light ― Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting". The 6th edition is due out in April.
Poco, I'd like to know why you (and any of those who supported) think this is among the finest images on Commons and has "wow". Corprolites are extremely common: they were once mined on an industrial scale, as fertilizer. I recommend visiting the Poozeum for all you could possibly want to learn. This example appears unexceptional, without notable inclusions that might enlighten us as to the source animal or their diet. Image-wise, we have a beige blob that has been unimaginatively placed on a piece of white paper, and lit by exactly the wrong light. Although it is focus stacked, that is nothing special these days, and a convex solid shape is the easiest subject to stack. The image may be 39MP but that's just a lot of pixels of beige and grey, not herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically....
As a specimen photo, I suggest trying to photograph it isolated without any visible support/base. Many images of fossils this colour are on a black background, rather than white, which should be achieved with lighting/backgrounds in the scene rather than with the scissors in Photoshop. The lighting needs to bring out the twisting form, and since one bit of this poo looks the same as ever other bit, we don't need or want to see all of it as evenly lit as every other bit. You could, for example, just light the top twisting portion and leave the bottom fading out dark. It may not, to be honest, be worth the effort. -- Colin (talk) 15:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the book hint, will look into it.
Regarding your comment about how common coprolites are or not, I don't believe that you are objective and fair. We have never had something like this on Commons, why that if they are so common? It's like if you tell me that a candidate of mine is not worthy because there are millions of sardines or crabs. The point to me is that so far non of us came accross something like that and photographed it with the target of achieving good quality (or maybe it's hard to find good coprolite images with a free license on the web). You can add so many links you want, still coprolites are underrepresented here.
The candidate above is not isolated, there's a visible support and I didn't use any scissors from Photoshop, indeed I didn't even use Photoshop. Regading the choice whether the background should be black or white I took an shot in both and opted to propose this one to FPC but I just uploaded for you the version with black background, see here, you like it? Poco a poco (talk) 16:27, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say this candidate used Photoshop; I was saying how an on on-black isolated photo should IMO be done. I know you have uploaded images that do use Photoshop scissors and I don't think that is FP level photography. The other image doesn't have a black background: it is grey. But can you (and others) not see how in places the lighting in the other photo is superior. Look at the bottom left and along the top. The glancing light brings out the shape of the stone, where in this nom the shape and bumps are virtually hidden. I think it is a shame the other photo doesn't show the twisting form, for it is that form that makes it clear to be a coprolite rather than random lumps of rock.
There are lots of things that are common that Commons lacks a huge quantity of images of. That doesn't change them from being common. I imagine nearly all households own a steam iron, yet there are about the same number of photos of such as there are of coprolites on Commons. There are millions of Philips electric shavers in the world yet we have only a handful of images. Does that permit me to take a very ordinary photo in bad light and expect a gold star? So, your argument doesn't hold examination. We are here to judge if it is among the best photos on Commons, and has "wow". By that standard, I'm judging this as a studio photo taken at home with ample opportunity to select a visually interesting subject and to take it with the highest level of skill and technical achievement. We have hundreds of thousands of professionally photographed museum exhibits on Commons, why are we giving a star to a beige blob on a piece of paper? Well we know why, and it is nothing to do with the photograph. -- Colin (talk) 18:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SFossil of coral (Cunnolites elliptica), Goulmima, Morocco
  •  Comment I'll await the resolution of this and then will support, because it's impressive to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:19, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Llez, Ikan Kekek: I've updated the description page with the information here (that's something I eventually always do) and also added there and here the age (along with the epoch). Regarding Cyclolites vs Cunnolites I'm a bit confused. As you can see in the file history I actually uploaded it first as Cyclolites (without an "h") ellipticus but then figured out that on Commons the synonym Cunnolites was used, so I renamed it. Should I then rename my file back and all others along with the categories? Poco a poco (talk) 22:20, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Support As Cunnolites elliptica is a category in commons, it would be a lot of work to create a new category, transfer all pictures and rename the files (I also would not rename a file during a nomination, too). I propose therefore to add in the file description "...a fossil of Cunnolites elliptica ( = Cyclolites ellipticus Lamarck, 1801) found...", I think, this is the easiest way to solve the problem. --Llez (talk) 05:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Egretta garzetta
"easy bird to photograph closer": I disagree, where I live it is not easy to go close to those birds, this photo was taken in his natural habitat and when you install material they go away, so this one is taken without tripod. Furthermore if is "so easy" to photograph I wonder why this is the bigger sized image (and from far) within our FPs of the same genus.

Poco a poco (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Poco, you've been here long enough that it is simply rude for you to keep making careless noms like this, with blurry patches and bad lighting. And the rules for alts have been well discussed and longstanding. Half of all your recent fossil/stone nominations have failed with their original nom. That's not careful nominating and that's insulting to folk who spend time reviewing. -- Colin (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should understand Colin that also a veteran here can become suddenly a rookie when it comes to new areas of photography. The series of FS I do now is in terms of equipment, lighting and new field, so it should be understandable that there is room for improvement. At the beginning a picture looked really good to me and that's why I proposed it to FP, after getting some feedback, looking for other examples or reading a bit about the topic you realized how improve it, and you do it again and again. The current FP candidates are very time-consuming. I haven't probably invested so much time to create a FP like I do now. It's not a "ok, let's have a try, oh crap, not good, I do it again"... Poco a poco (talk) 16:42, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
See, this is the problem right here. You have spent a lot of time on the photos and feel that you should be rewarded a star for your effort. But were are here to nominate and judge photos that are among the finest on Commons, not photographers. This can't just become a boys club that mutually supports the enthusiasm of regulars, nor a kindergarten where you get praise simply for making an effort. The nomination here had elementary lighting and focus stacking errors. I wish Commons had an active and lively forum where those beginning a new thing could get feedback and improve, but it doesn't really. Do you think someone learning to paint would nominate their efforts to be hung in the national gallery? The try, try, try again approach is fine in life, but not what FP is for. -- Colin (talk) 19:11, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You take all this too seriously, Colin. Indeed I believe rather that you express here rather your opinion and not the community's. Nobody is here because she/he must, but rather because they like it and don't mind spending time here. To me it isn't a big deal to give feedback and in fact when we have newcomers in QI I dedicate more time to guide. It's very rewarding for me to see how they improve and become good photographers. And not only the benefit from that but also the project... Poco a poco (talk) 20:01, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The "community" says "Featured pictures candidates should meet all the following requirements, must have a "wow factor"". Half your recent noms failed. For someone who has perhaps nominated a thousand images, I'd say you were out of step with community consensus by the very evidence of your nominations. And wrt the alt rules, those are not my opinions, yet still you grumble and complain about me asking you to follow the same rules as everyone else. I'm unwatching now. -- Colin (talk) 21:02, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • This looks just like cotton fiber. [2] Even the dye looks right. Indigo will stay on the surface of natural fibers. That is why you can stonewash a pair of jeans to rub away the dye. Most artificial fibers have the color absorbed into the very fiber. I have done a lot of dyeing in my days, especially indigo, and this looks ok to me. Oh, and btw, denim can be thread dyed or fabric dyed. Some denims are woven from indigo dyed and white thread for a different look. The jeans I'm wearing right now are woven just like in the photo. --Cart (talk) 21:51, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cart, I removed your second link as my antivirus blocked it as a site containing malware (possibly hijacked). Ok, so the cotton fibre can be more regular than I expected, but I'm still confused (a) that it appears see-through and (b) that it is in fact in colour given that when I google "cotton fiber microscope" I get scanning electron microscope images of similar thread, which of course have no colour. Btw, as this note and this note, a description like "50x" only makes sense for images like this if you specify the size of the image you are looking at (e.g. 8"x10" print or longest side 25mm). Why can't I find similar pictures to this? -- Colin (talk) 18:41, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Colin, cotton fibers are actually tranclusent, almost transparent, as are most fibers when you get down on a microscopic level. Most photographers take advantage of this and shoot cotton fiber in polarizing light, just like you have done with clear plastic objects. Google "cotton fiber microscope polarizing", or even alamy and you get a nice selection of photos.
When identifying fibers, you can't go by if they are transparent or opaque to determine if they are natural or manmade. General rule of thumb: If they have a complex structure, are twisted or have scales, they are grown (by animals or plants). If they are long smooth and look like some sort of pasta, they are extruded. Manmade fibers are extruded in some shape and so are silk and spiderweb (silkworms and spider don't "grow" their thread, they extrude it). This page sums it up rather well. --Cart (talk) 19:18, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • You can read this (very long) discussion. Personally I'm not really flabbergasted by this design, however I totally disagree with those saying GIF is not an appropriate format for animations. On the contrary, GIFs are just perfect for this kind of "show". Many GIFs were promoted FP in the past, and a few ones even reached the rare finalists at the POTY competition. GIFs are displayed on a computer like any other image, except the content moves, and that's great. No need to click on any button to start / stop / pause. So simple. Very easy also to use it for any web page, just resize it as you wish, like a JPG. Perhaps not the best candidature in this case, however definitely a useful media, and I strongly encourage you to continue to create those kind of valuable animations in this format -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:57, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Captain's Pit, Wallasey, Merseyside
  •  Oppose It is an odd title, as the pit and pond in it is better captured in File:Captain's Pit, Wallasey.jpg. The subject here would seem to be All Saints Church and its reflection in water. I've added the Commons FP gallery for you. I don't think this is at FP level of buildings + reflection. The building is a bit too plain, the light dull, the image soft and there is some horizontal distortion. -- Colin (talk) 17:15, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 I withdraw my nomination It was recomended for nomination from QI to FP by someone else. As to the plain building, unfortunately World War II means it lacks its intended spire, and I don't carry a spare around with me. The lighting is what we get in January in the north of England. Never mind. Rodhullandemu (talk) 17:25, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Baltic blooms
  • One of them (down by the south tip of the main island) is the shadow of a contrail. The contrail is also in the photo. The rest are made by boats. You can see that they end in white dots=boats. These algae are very sluggish and move rather slowly with the currents. The swirly patterns take several hours to form, often a day or so. So when a boat makes a swat through the algae, it takes a while for it to close. From the shore, this algae looks like someone took crushed moss and scattered in the sea. During the bloom, the local radio station/website has a daily report about what bays and beaches are algae-infested and not. It changes on a daily basis depending on wind and currents. --Cart (talk) 08:23, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Small pratincole, Bundala National Park
Serious, but unsubstantiated accusation
  • @Charlesjsharp: This is quite a severe accusation which you please provide evidence for. I was not closer than for other photos -- to say exactly, this is a national park where you have to stay in the car, and nothing else did I. If the bird was sitting closer to the road than it normally should, that was definitely its "choice". --A.Savin 21:45, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If this all were not as absurd, I would probably have asked: "Do you think that the car should not have stopped". EOD, and please leave your personal attacks collapsed. P.S. #NeverForgetNeverForgive --A.Savin 14:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fossils of Hyphalosaurus
  • Thanks Ikan Kekek! Hyphalosaurus is endemic to early Cretaceous Jehol group from western Liaoning of China, but I didn't take down the information of this specimen when it was exhibited last year, so I didn't mentioned its locality and geological horizon in the description. Besides, this slab was borrowed from Beijing Museum of Natural History for a special exhibition, which ended last May, its information, e.g. it belongs to either of two known Hyphalosaurus species or is undetermined (i.e. Hyphalosaurus sp.), might have been unavailable since it's been returned to the owner. --Tiouraren (talk) 09:44, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Maybe if you contact the museum, they can supply the information to you. The important thing would be to add the information to the "Description" field on the file page, not this thread. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:51, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deep gorge in Spiti River, Himachal
