• I'm the Photographer of this picture and I changed the license in PD. Richardfabi 22:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Couldn't you give us some technical details about your camera settings, the lighting, and how you got rid of the background? Calderwood 16:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, I'm not a profi Photographer. I did the picture with a usual Camera, the Canon Powershot A95. I used the macro modus, the diaphragm opening and the exposure-time were automatic. I did the picture in a Museum, and the trick was perhaps, that there was a glass 5cm away from the coin. So a used the glass as a tripod and did the picture with a self timer, because I wanted to avoid a camera shake. I didn't use a lightning. The background was originally a red drapery, and I cut the background away. The coin was relatively big, so it filled the whole picture. Richardfabi 02:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

•  Neutral - the grey strokes are not explained in the caption, and the caption colours don't quite match the calligraphy colours - MPF 18:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I checked that and found out that you are wrong. The colours look a bit different in the size-reduced picture, but not so at full resolution. And the grey strokes are explained: they mean nothing but are just added for decoration. Calderwood 18:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks; though it remains that the grey lines are not explained without going to the image page, i.e., the explanation is not visible in the image itself (and thus won't be visible in an encyclopaedia article the pic is used in, unless separately added in the caption) - MPF 23:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I observed that the scan quality of nearly all of my images is criticised. I admit that Kodak Photo-CD scan is definitely not optimal. When I edit my images using The Gimp I try to despecle the sky using a Gausian blur filter and "Unsharp mask" for details in the foreground. Perhaps someone knows a better method to enhance these PCD images. Thanks for the critical comments in any way. And by the way, this is not really a Geysir but a lake. If you look here I was standing about at the center of the beach on the left. Andreas Tille 06:17, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I just compared the composition to this one :-) --SehLax 18:19, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

•  Strong support. Beautiful colours indeed. I particularly dig the two water surfaces that have a slightly different hue and texture to them when compared to each other (and the sky). Same thing with the snow and the clouds. Scan quality? Aahh, nit-picking, my brothers... I can always forgive a shortcoming if there's so much other stuff that is marvelous. --Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 05:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

•  Support but would have liked a SVG version ♦ Pabix ^ℹ 10:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose Dodecahedrons are beautiful mathematical objects, but this picture of it is not well performed. The edges are far to thick and the upper right vertex of the front pentagon is clumsily placed. The colours are not well selected either (two browns and two dark greens adjacent to each other). Also, since the back edges are visible, so should be the colours of the back faces too, and therefore each front colour should show at least minor variations depending on which back face lies behind which part of it. Calderwood 10:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose. Not impressive. Also, diagrams should be .png or .svg. — Erin (talk) 11:26, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose don't like the colours and the edges Hein 16:45, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment to the new picture: I would not support this one either. The clumsy position of the front pentagon's upper right vertex is the same. Also, to colour everything in monochromatic blue is not recommendable either. I suggest a clever selection of an individual colour for every single face. Calderwood 22:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't mind the missing description, since the picture is self-explaining for everyone who knows a little about chemistry, but as a graphical representation of the element magnesium it is not convincing.

There was wind blowing on the waterdrop, but that doesn't distract the whole picture, I guess. This particular stalactite is not in an enclosed underground cavern, otherwise you wouldn't expect green mosses to be around.

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: significantly out of focus

Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

•  Support it's not "just a panoramic image of a field of sheep", it's a very nice panoramic image of a field of sheep. BTW. "A field of sheep" sounds funny to my English-as-a-foreign-language-type-ears. The hues of green are beautiful. Calderwood's comments about "bad artefacts" left me somewhat confused. Is the plane evil or the clouds? Anyways, to me they don't matter. Hm, I'm noticing a growing trend of yours truly almost always voting support when it comes to panoramas. But there's something very pleasing in them - if they're well done (unlike some of my own hehe). Ugh. I have spoken. --Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 12:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • No, I did not mean the little plane, but if you watch the sky at full resolution it is filled with unnatural looking coloured areas. They are certainly not clouds but artefacts generated by the compression of the image into a jpg-file. Calderwood 18:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

You're right... to me they sure looked like clouds. Are you sure they are not? Well anyhow, it's not enough to deny it featured status. --Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 06:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

To me, the thing in the sky is just clouds. JPEG artifact, if any, should show up at tree branches before the clouds due to compression of high details. - Lerdsuwa 16:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. There are several types of artefacts (generally, I mean, not in this picture) and one type is always found in areas where smooth changes of colour occur, which the compression algorithm cannot properly follow. I am sure that the sky in this picture is full of compression artefacts. I cannot prove it, but I have seen a sufficient amount of them to be sure. Calderwood 16:15, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but indirectly so. They correspond to areas of different radiation temperature which in turn are dependent on the combustion zones. Every photo of a flame shows these areas, but the human eye is incapable of distinguisthing between them. The colour-shift makes the difference actually visible.

  created by Chris Danals (National Science Foundation) - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Xymmax -- Xymmax 20:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This is a featured picture on English Wikipedia, and it's so unusual I decided to nom it here as well. It depicts a research station in Antarctica, with the Aurora Australis visible in the sky. It was taken at night, by the natural light of the full moon, with a 25 second exposure. I had nothing to do with taking or uploading the image, but the uploader indicated that this version has been edited to remove noise and hot pixels visible in the original. The National Science Foundation is an agency of the U. S. Government, so I agree with the uploader that this is in fact a free image.

• Comment: We need not discuss the fact that the technical quality of this picture is very low. But in all my life I have never seen such a cloud, which makes me believe that clouds of this kind are pretty rare. So the mere existence of this photo is a point in its favour - comparable to historical photos, which are sometimes technically quite bad but nevertheless get featured with good reason. Calderwood 22:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

that might be true, but I think a featured picture has to be outstanding on a technical and on a content level, just one makes it quite nice but not "featured" in my opinion -- Gorgo 22:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

•  Neutral I guess you aren't, but you can use that line with any photo: "It's just a sunset!", "It's just a city panorama!", "It's just an alien spaceship!".

  • Whether you have a good reason or not to say "just a ..." depends on how outstanding an object or a way of showing it is. To give an example, the image "rolling thunder cloud" (further down) does certainly not show "just a cloud". And if everybody had already seen thousands of pictures of alien spaceships, and they all look more or less asame, then a photo showing just one of them without anything special and with no particular aesthetic qualities would in my opinion not deserve FP-status.

Instead, it has a number of interesting details as the sturdy tower in the West is followed by a comparatively short nave (with a strange sequence of windows), an even smaller choir, and finally a tiny apsis -- as if this has been unfolded by dragging the apsis out of the tower. The shadows are in my opinion also fine as they tell us how deep the sun stands at the late afternoon. I particularly like the precisely cut shadows of the grave slabs in the freshly mowed lawn. All together it gives an impression of simplicity, austerity, and tidiness. --AFBorchert 19:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Dag Hammarskjold portrait

• Dag Hammarskjöld (July 29, 1905 – September 18, 1961) was a Swedish diplomat who served as Secretary-General of the United Nations from April 1953 until his death in a plane crash in September, 1961. I don't think you can get a better picture of him than this. Fred Chess 09:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Even if this is should really be the best picture of Dag Hammarskjöld (which I am inclined to doubt) there are certainly better templates for scanning. The one used here is damaged at the man's right hand, and scratched and dirty in other areas. Furthermore, cropping the picture closely outside the map's frame is not recommendable. Especially in this case, where the two remaining sides are quite leaning. My suggestion is to find a better copy of the same picture for nomination. Roger McLassus 19:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
